What People Are Saying About Congee Village
The Editor

Citysearch
Much as its name implies, this quirky Lower East Side eatery evokes a village. The sylvan interior features a wooden hut, fake trees, a canopy of leafy greens, and a large mural of a sun-dappled mountainside. A small juice bar, where employees grind slushy fruit drinks, sits near the entrance. Service is rapid-fire and businesslike. Thick bowls of congee, the rib-sticking rice porridge, claim to be the main attraction, but it's really the Cantonese specialites such as crispy fried frog, pork tripe with riblets, and sea cucumber that draw crowds.

I have to say that this place has some of the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. My friend did the ordering and whatever she order was great. I really liked the garlic chicken. Yummy! I will definitely be back!
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Have to wait for a table

Gotta Go Back

So after a night of drinking and chatting at local bars and friends' house we ended up going to Congee Village for some late night grub. I've heard wonderful things about this place and it didn't disappoint. Snails in black bean sauce, the chicken congee, Chinese water spinach and the highlight, the house half chicken were all very good. The house chicken was so crispy and moist, I almost wanted to ask for another order! Add on some beers and a couple of other tasty treats, which i don't remember, and my 15 bucks went far. I suggest going with someone who is either Chinese or has eaten at the Village before, just so that you can be guided into having the best possible things on the menu.
- Pros: Tasty, Cheap

I had been going to Congee VIllage for years. But, yesterday, I will not be entering the doors of Congee Village again. After placing my order, twenty minutes ago, that included water and rice, the entrees came, but the water and rice never did. Again, I had to ask for water and rice. The water came but the rice never did. I told the waiter, I did not receive my rice that I had asked for. He agreed to get it. Waiting another 10 minutes, and the table next to me (we were before them) got the rice and the waiter just looked at me. The food entrees are smaller, half the size, but higher the price. It did not taste fresh and was salty. The only thing they were happy to get for me is the bill. I left less then a two dollar tip and left as the waiter was bring the free watermelon.
