Very good ambiance but the food we had was all mediocre to not good. We got Peking Pork Chops (picture), Chicken and Mushroom rice bake, corn with pine nuts, a beef and noodle casserole (pictures), and some of the dim sum buns. the pork chops were too sweet, the casserole got cold and turned to a block pretty quickly, and the corn was just canned corn with pine nuts (it might be our fault for ordering this dish). Nothing was that good but I actually want to come back and try more here.

Solid Cantonese showcasing all of the classic dishes.Fast and tasty Chinese in a big and busy restaurant which is knocking out Chinese comfort foods - congee, Chinese vegetable (get the pea shoots) and a wide range of seafood and meat dishes.Notes about scoring:1 star = Memorably awful2 star = Not good and would avoid3 star = Good but would not return4 star = Recommended5 star = Incredible and must visit if you can

Congee Village is a NY standard. Great menu, but typical rude, curt chinatown staff. They served us only branches for the Chinese broccoli dish, so maybe they just didn’t like us in general.

Came here for lunch with my staff. Got a bunch of different food to share. Big portion of food which I love. It was affordable and everyone left happy. Some of the dishes were salty but it was okay. Overall great food and awesome service. We got half of the garlic chicken, beef chow ho fun , beef fried noodle, bok choy, young fried rice , fried shrimp.
My husband and I have been patrons of this place for years, so often that we’ve almost tasted every dish on the menu. Yesterday, March 14th, I brought my visiting parents who speak only Chinese to the restaurant, hoping to delight them with familiar food and atmosphere. We ordered a half garlic chicken, a vegetable dish of mushrooms and pea shoots 菌菇竹笙扒豆苗 and a whole steamed fish in Canton style. The food tastes less than expected: The chicken came quickly but it’s only lukewarm and the meat was dry; the vegetable dish was okay. But the steamed fish is missing half of the usual amount of soy sauce that it tastes so blend.But the reason why I decided to leave this review is not just because of the subpar food, it’s more because of the stereotyping they cast onto us.When the bill came, I put in my chase credit card as usual in the bill folder. The server goes “do you have cash for the tip?” “I don’t” I said, since I didn’t carry enough cash to cover the tip, “I’ll write on the check”. He then said “the credit card machine is having some problems, can you write it now on this bill?” With little doubt on the situation, I reopened the bill folder and wrote the amount of tip and gave it to process. Over the years of coming here, my husband and I had never been asked to put in the tip first before they even swipe the credit card.When I got home, As I processed what has happened and it downed on me that the “problem credit card machine” is just an excuse to make sure my parents and I pay the tip.While it’s perhaps understandable, this act is toxic because it’s stereotyping Chinese tourists. From a Chinese staff at a Chinese restaurant in New York. The irony and the pity are agonizing.There were 2-3 other tables around at that time (2pm on Thursday March 14th) and nobody were asked to put in their tip first.Congee Village, you will lose even more loyal patrons if you don’t right your wrongs.

This was unfortunately our worst meal of our trip to New York!! I frequently eat Chinese food, So I have some understanding of how certain dishes should be. The picking pork chop at this place was not crispy and had too much ketchup flavor. The sautéed string beans were not crispy at all, They should be fried before being sautéed. Beef cubes were rubbery, was not tenderized.Staff was friendly by would not recommend if you are looking for authentic Chinese food. Disappointing for a long time establishment.
