I always get the house chicken , bok choy , and a duck congee . Service is absolutely terrible, but the food is unrealistically cheap and delicious, been one of my favorite places to go for 12 years.

Congee village saved my relationship

rogey_mac

Amazing Chinese food . You find better anywhere in the city , perfect for a group and when the bill comes, you’ll be blown away at how cheap it is. Been coming here for years, we love it!!!

AmateurConcierge

Old school, elaborately decorated Chinese resto with an extensive menu and delicious congee . My first time. Awesome on a cold day

Virginie Liao

My family and relatives used to come here a lot due to how great and authentic their Cantonese cuisine is compared to others in Chinatown. They have private rooms too for large parties.

Tim Deng

Great price for some of the best congee I’ve ever had

Mike Winston

For the perfect hangover cure , head to Congee Village to drink a pot of tea with an order of Pan Fried Dry Shrimp Noodles and Pork , Chicken , and Duck Congee . Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more

HelloLizzy

This is one of those places where you know you're in the right place when you see the other dining clientele. The house special chicken is the fish to get.

Serious Eats

The congee is served bubbling hot in a terracotta casserole , steaming with the aroma of whatever's added on top. It's hearty, soothing, and everything you want in the late night hours.

Cleo Yeh

Funny they take reservations , but still requires a 30min to 1hr and a half of wait time ???? RIDIC!! Love this unsanitary place.. But I'm fkn starving, seat us already! It's 40 mins past time guys

Carlos Sanchez

Phenomenal - wow. Sliced pork and preserved egg congee , crab congee , sha cha beef , deep friend intestines, sauteed jumbo shrimp - cannot go wrong with these. Looking forward to my next visit already.

Damon Sununtnasuk

Open late , the congee was very nice, as was the house chicken . However the tofu and vegetables felt inauthentic Chinese. The price felt a bit on the high side for comparable Chinese

Lori Luo

Congee Village serves more than congee , although it does its namesake very well . You'll also find generous plates of chow fun , rice , dumpings , and more. Perfect for a late night bite.

Umair Zia

As a guy who thinks most Chinese restaurants only care about money over quality, this place was amazing. Probably my fave in the US so far. Definitely get the Singaporean Noodles . So good.

Andres Elizondo

Meant to be experienced with great friends! The Shanghai noodles , spicy chicken in sauce and fermented black bean oysters were the bomb!

Ben Watkins

Delicious congee at an affordable price . Go with a group of friends to try out multiple flavored. Chicken , pork , and duck is by far my fav!

Josephine Son

Totally divey place and the service isn't so great. But, oh the food is that good!!! I always get the house special chicken and snow pea leaves...always!

Xin Lin

Any congee plus Ginseng chicken soup ! Can't go wrong with that on a cold winter night.

The Corcoran Group

One of the more unique Chinese menus we've come across. For the less adventurous eaters, a safe bet is the house special garlic chicken .

Congee is delicious and is served with so many different foods you will want to keep coming back to try them all – or almost all if frog and snails are not your thing! Read more

Mike P

Always good. Favorites are house special chicken , roast duck meatball porridge , salt and pepper squid , Chinese greens. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

David ???? Laster

Perfect place for groups. (Cold) chicken feet are tasty for American palate. Short ribs were amazing and loved the frog leg congee , fried rice , sesame chicken , giant clam (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Caroline Deng

The pork and preserved egg congee + you tiao is amazing! Authentic Chinese food for cheap prices!

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

Adventurous eaters will be happy to find snails, frog, duck’s blood, and goose intestine on the vast menu. - Inspector

Konstantinos Psychogios

Great scallion pancakes , sesame chicken and pan fried shrimps . The seafood lo mein and vegetable rice were so-so.

Desmond Foo

Give the sampan congee a try, it's my favorite here :)

Alex Song

YOUTIAO IS NOT ON THE MENU . But you can/should definitely still order it. You won’t regret it.

Victoria Wooster

Everything was great, specially the rice cooked in the bamboo ???? with the mushrooms ????

Zac Zellers

the sliced pork and preserved egg congee is one of the most soothing dishes, paired with beer and tea , feels like heaven.

Kisha Chandler

Authentic Asian food ! Love it. Great service

Amy Luo

Oh my god, get the house special chicken .

Evan Staff

Seriously order anything. Cheapest cocktails I've seen in Manhattan (and tip-free, to boot, yo).

Kino

Recommended Dishes: Salt & Pepper Squid , Razor Clams , Flounder in Two Styles, Pan Fried Tofu , Peking Porkchops , & Fuzhou Fried Rice .

Ernesto Gutierrez

Tough call. You have to put up with a crappy service in order to get awesome Food. Also lots of patience required. Try any of the congees , think of rice oatmeal with seafood or meat.

Get the House Special Chicken unless you are feeling adventurous in which case there are more than enough interesting menu items to satisfy your curiosity.

Roniel Tessler

Crazy options for adventurous people, but regular yummy and cheap Chinese fare as well . Chinese broccoli , house chicken ????

Ms Helene

Buddha's Vegetables will satisfy vegetarians and carnivores alike. The fish congee with scallions and ginger rocked too.

KristiaMarie Pastor Balatbat

Garlic chicken , fried squid , Chinese broccoli , seafood crispy noodles , pan fried flounder , yang chow fried rice . ALL were amazing!

Angie Jenie

Always crowded . I enjoy the duck congee and seafood congee .

Jen Keegan

Lychee martinis for 6 bucks! Seafood congee and juicy buns are a must. Get fried bread for dessert you won't be disappointed.

Omer Zach

The congee dishes are bigger than their low prices suggest and quite delicious. The rest of the choices I tried were only so-so unfortunately, and pricy compared to much of Chinatown.

Daniele Codega

This place is inexpensive and comes with big portions , but if you don't know what to order you will not be very satisfied.

Donny Tsang

Best to go after 11:30pm and order all the fried foods. Fried salt and pepper squid , general Tso's chicken , fried bread w/ condensed milk

Diana Gomez

Lovely corn soup . Get the large size for everyobe. Try the chicken with shitake mushrooms and anything with duck and fried rice , not oily.

Sean Li

Wow dawgs line here is so long you can make 2 separate trips to prosperity dumplings during the wait

Kevin T

Best hot+sour soup and clams with black bean sauce I've had in a long time!

Bernadette Baum

Veg congee , flecked with ginger and scallions , is lovely. First visit (with kids) so picked conservatively - house special chicken and short ribs . Former was outstanding :)

Christina Chin

Congee is ok...14 of us at one table, came out to about $35pp with like 12 dishes. Everything is decent, nothing stood out for me

Calvin Multanen

Great food. Very authentic . Try the house special chicken , it's delicious. Half portion is huge

Bryant Balatbat

House special chicken was moist with a strong garlic flavor! Definite must try.
