I want to say this place has been here forever but this was my first time here. The restaurant itself was decent sized. There's dining tables on the first level but the bulk of the tables are on the lower level. There's a cool pond with some koi fish right as you come down to the lower level. Plenty of tables with private rooms in the back as well. The have a full menu as well as dim sum carts flowing around the dining area. You can order the dim sum right from the carts. The food was delicious and the service was good as well. I'll be back for sure read more

The worst restaurant experience I've ever had. How do you have so many employees on shift just to walk around and do nothing? Nothing we tried to get someone's attention worked. Not raising my hand, not saying we wanted to order, and making eye contact only made them look away. They did not even care when we got up and left; they did not even acknowledge us. There were plenty of empty tables and way too many servers with big bluetooth headsets for them to be acting like we weren't worth their time. I would not have cared about anything, not even them doing prepwork in the dining room, if we could have just eaten congee and sweet potato pancakes. But no. Save yourself the frustration and go anywhere else. We ended up going to Prince Tea House where everything was cute and the servers knew how to do their jobs. read more

First time visiting this place for dinner with some friends, but had been here quite a few times for dim sum lunch. Quality of food deserves a higher rating than most reviews for this place shows. Service can be improved though, as 1/2 of our dishes ordered weren't even served when we practically finished the first 1/2 of the order that did come out. Also lighten up on the amount of garlic please! read more

Came here for a birthday party. It's very large with lots of private rooms of varying sizes (we were in one of them). Food was pretty average - good for large groups. read more

I finally visited Congee village here in Flushing after many years visiting the Manhattan restaurant only. I must admit this location is very cool! We had family visitors from West Coast and this was a convenient place to meet. The food was very great! See photos! We order classic Chinese dishes and was very happy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I love the old fashion decorations; it's look a museum! Definitely will visit the Flushing restaurant again. read more

4.5 Stars, rounding up to 5 Stars! I honestly don't know why Congee Village has such a low rating! I've been here several times, and each time, the food & service was fantastic. Now I have to admit, some of the prices are outrageous!! Barramundi Sea Bass (2.5 lbs) was a whooping $95!!! And a big plate of Snow Pea Leaves w.Garlic was $26!! Crazy high prices but the food is delicious! The Barramundi Sea Bass dish was a large portion, and has to be one of the best fishes dishes I've ever had in a Cantonese restaurant. Other restaurant also serve this dish but Congee Village's version is outstanding. (It better be at $95!! lol) Customer service is excellent. The servers are always friendly and attentive; very accommodating to my senior relatives. Note that there is a parking garage in the same building as Congee Village but does NOT offer a discount to Congee Village customers. Rates are $12 for 2 hrs; $15 for 3 hrs...not too bad! You can take the elevator straight up to the restaurant from the garage. This has been the most requested restaurant for my relatives from San Francisco. A visit to Flushing is not complete until they get their Congee Village fix! Hahaha read more

Congee village has been my goto for the not so hectic dimsum place. I like it that it's not overcrowding, you can sit comfortably. For a dimsum restaurant, they don't open until 10:30 and if you want congee of noodle dishes, they aren't available until 11am. I don't understand why people have to wait until 11. For the most part, their food is solid, doesn't really stand out. I do like they're made to order steam rice rolls, the cilantro is my favorite. I think their portions are pretty decent and service is good. read more

Came here with a huge group of people which was great because it allowed us to try a bunch of different dishes. To start off, I always love the Sautéed Snow Pea's Leaf with Garlic and Lobster with Sticky Rice. They were definitely a table favorite along with the Pork Chop in Peking Style. It was a couple of people's first time having frog was that was fun to watch as well but frog honestly just tastes like tender chicken so we all enjoyed that as well. The only dish that I thought could've been done better was the Honey Walnut Jumbo Shrimp. It was just okay because I felt like the breading was too thick and it wasn't crispy at all and overall was just lacking in flavor as well. The honey walnuts in that dish though were still delicious. I will definitely be back here again. Probably with a big group as well next time because I do want to try quite a few more of their dishes and probably some dim sum dishes as well! read more

Service here was okay. The dishes we ordered were great and got to the table very soon after ordering. I came with a group of 3 and we sat comfortably. The tables weren't super close together like what you'd get in the rest of Flushing and the AC was flowing. I hadn't known this gem existed for years. The sampan porridge ($8.50 per order for 4 small bowls) did not have the usual ingredients, but it was delicious nonetheless. I added a deep fried dough to go with the porridge for $2.50 and was happy with the portions. We got sweet & sour pork for the table and it was fried and flavored to perfection. I couldn't stop eating it and the portions were huge. I would definitely order this again. The fried filet fish dish with salt and pepper was disappointing because the ratio of fried fish was less than the saucy side. There was complimentary fruit after the meal and desserts too. Looking forward to ordering more of the sweet & sour pork next time and trying more dishes. read more

It's Mother's Day weekend & we made reservations in advance. We still had to wait 40 minutes after arriving 10 minutes early for our scheduled reservation. They clearly overbooked and were not prioritizing reservations over walk ins. Then they ran out of their specials... which was one of the reasons why we came here. It is 7:15pm.... The dinner service just started not long ago. Restaurant is very unprepared. Not sure if it's because of the holiday... but it's not worth the trip. I would not recommend. read more

First time at congee village and I really enjoyed my meal! It was a gathering for my family and we order so many dishes - we got soup, lobster stir fried sticky rice, fried mantou, sweet and sour pork, and of course the Peking duck Service was super quick and responsive, we had dinner around 7pm on a Saturday and there was a good amount of tables open but still busy. Great place for the locals and older folks to gather for dinner. I really like the interior and how spacious it was compared to other restaurants. My favs from tonight were the Peking duck with the bun and the sweat and sour pork. I did wish the buns were slightly thinner or the duck was sliced thicker but delicious nevertheless. read more

Weekday lunch was quiet in the huge space. We ordered a beef congee and seafood fried noodles. The congee serving felt small but the noodles were delicious and generously sized. There were dim sum carts being pushed around but we weren't in the mood for that. Service was ok. read more

My friend and I stopped in while waiting for a shop nearby to open and it paid off! We didn't check the reviews until after we had sat down and the low rating had us worried, but our experience was great. It's a surprisingly large restaurant with lots of cool decor and plenty of seating. There were also a ton of people there which speaks to the quality of the food I think. The dim sum cart stopped by several times and we had more than enough food. Everything we tried was really good and I definitely would go again, even though I hadn't planned to go on the first place! read more

I came here with my family as a really large group. My uncle had already arranged a private table and paid for this 11 course meal that came in at over $1000. The majority of the food was not good. It was just bland. The thing that really bothered me was some of the higher priced menu items were not served. For instance, we were supposed to get duck. There was no duck. We did get an extra soup. But soup and duck are not in the same tier whatsoever so I don't really think that's a fair trade. I wouldn't really recommend this place. read more

We had a team lunch here and reserved a private room in the back, which was perfect since it also came with karaoke. One of my teammates took the lead and ordered for us, which made the experience even more fun. I'm a big dim sum fan, so I was excited--and the spread didn't disappoint. Everything we tried was tasty, but the duck was definitely the standout for me. The only thing I would have liked was for the staff to be a bit more engaging, but overall it was a great time and a solid spot for a group gathering. read more

Wonderful spot for a family or group meal. Friendly staff. Very busy and so it may take a while for the food to come out. I've previously come here for Sunday DimSum, definitely check it out for an expanded menu. Food is fresh, piping hot and flavorful. I especially loved the fish (can't remember the name, but it had dried radish, this dish was the definition of umami.) Nice place for dinner after a lot of shopping and exploring in the area. read more

wandered in here on a sunday afternoon and it looked so pretty so we decided to dine in. we were in between meal times so we just missed dim sum but they have crystal shrimp dumplings and rice cakes on the regular menu so we got what we wanted. i am glad i didn't see the yelp reviews and just went in because it was a 4/5 star experience, definitely not as low as the average on here. party of 3 so we just got a few little things to share. the entree plates are meant for family style so we only got one and still had leftovers. this was nice trad cantonese food. we got bitter melon with beef and it was delicious, however needs more beef. just was too tired to point it out to the servers after a long nyc day. the servers are helpful once you get their attention. and the classy vibe inside keeps you distracted. i would come back with my parents or something. it's good for groups inside. read more

Congee Village is my family's go-to restaurant for family dinners. As many times we've had dinner there, I can't believe I've never wrote a review. Food is always delicious. I've recently realized that the portions haven't been as big as previously but the food is still good. The wait service is usually great. The main waiters who take the food orders can be a bit pushy and hard to get a hold of. I guess the lower you are on the totem pole, the nicer you are. Wishing Congee Village continued success in 2024! read more

Had a great dinner party here yesterday! We got a private room for 13 of us, and it was a great experience! The servers were attentive, changing plates often, and most of the dishes were delicious! Some of the group's favorites included the crab, lamb chops, and salt and pepper pork. The soup dumplings were very underwhelming, and the lobster was okay, but would recommend most of the other 20 dishes we ordered read more

Great for big family & friends dinners in Flushing with private dining rooms and good service! Their rooms also have karaoke as well!

This Congee Village in Flushing wants to do too many things, and ended up mediocrely in everything it does. The place was somewhat busy and noisy while we were there. You can find dim sum, rice & noodles, hot dishes, bbq, and even Peking duck ... etc . We went because of the congee and it was very ordinary and average. Don't let the restaurant name fools you. We will not repeat as there are many choices in the general area. If you plan to patronize this place, have some cash on you because the waitress will tell you they prefer cash for gratuity . read more

Tried to eat here yesterday, and I say tried because after rudely being pointed to a table and given menus nobody seemed to want to take mine and my friend's orders. It was not busy and there were plenty of waiters walking around with their hands behind their backs doing absolutely nothing. I have eaten here before a few times and while it did take a little while to get service those times it was nothing like this. We ended up just leaving to go to a different place that actually cares about customer service. If I could give zero stars I would, never wasting my time trying to eat here ever again. It's sad because I do really like the food from here but there are plenty of other places in the area you can get the same stuff read more

Definitely one of the better dim sum places in the flushing area. It's also very clean (including bathroom). The fish pond is very pretty and they have a horse statue next to it also. Love the decor. The food is good, their beef rolls are the best I've had in queens. They're huge and soft. Their pork chop dish is big and one of the best also. I definitely recommend congee village, we come here often. Service is good, wait staff is attentive. read more

The congee village is a nice place to have a dim sum/ congee brunch or a special dinner. You can have a private room or eat in the main room. They have prefix menus if you are undecided as to what you want and money is no object. We had a wonderful time at dinner and the service was excellent. The wait staff was attentive and changing plates as needed. Look forward to coming back for brunch' read more

Seems to be pretty popular spot for lunch for asian groups. Loved the internal decor. The servers were very nice and very willing to help. It was easy to request more food / dim sum items. Food was okay, but overall very salty. For the lobster rice, the lobster was delicious but the rice was dried - and it was just too much rice. I would recommend ordering a plate of lobster with ginger and scallions and a different type of fried rice to balance out the meal. The noodles were yummy and vegetables tasted fresh. The salted fish, chicken, and eggplant dish had a watered down, salty flavor. The mini pineapple buns were delicious, just make sure you eat them while they are warm. Be careful when eating the custard buns, the filling was more liquid-y than anticipated. Lastly, I thought the chinese sticky rice tamale was nasty so probably don't get that. Otherwise I had a good experience eating there with my family. Although with all the amazing food spots in Flushing, I probably won't come back to this one. read more

We really don't drive to Queens unless we're visiting 2 of my sisters who live by Kew Gardens for the holidays. So when one of my husband's ex-colleagues and her husband invited us to dine here on a Saturday in early May, we couldn't say no. Hubs' friend's initial plan was to hit the Bowery location but scratched that to avoid chaotic Manhattan traffic. Their '36-36 Prince St' entrance looks more like an office building than a restaurant- so exited and turned the corner. Congee Village is grand- at least I think it is. It opens to the main floor, walkway leading to a dining room and stairs for their main(?) dining space below where you get the full scope of their open kitchen. Since hubs' friend and her husband frequent this location, they actually ordered for us- especially when I told her I'm a Pescatarian and love vegetables. Plus, she talked to the servers fluidly throughout our meal and requested anything in particular. Beverages were great and everything else went uphill. Hubs' and friends enjoyed the crispy boneless pork chop dish and the sautéed beef chunks+veggies. She raved about the lobster sticky rice she usually orders for her family and ordered it for the table- except, she'd asked our server if it can be prepped without the bacon(?). Negative. Hubs and his friends enjoyed it. The fish+veggies was great and so were the vegetables dishes I ate. Service was pleasant and so attentive. I'm not even going to try and figure out why the low rating here because hubs' friend fed us well with Congee Village's fiery delicious meals. read more

Ambiance is amazing. But not enough crab meat in the e-fu noodles with crab meat. It shouldn't be costing over $20 when it barely has crab meat. The congee are all pretty affordable. The guilinggao is ok. The tea has a deep earthy and herbal flavor. Service was pretty fast. They gave me the check asap when they saw my hand up. It wasn't slow. Tables are too big for just two people. I recommend groups of 4 or more. But you don't have to worry about space to place your bags. The free watermelon was nice. read more

Don't expect the best service here (you really have to go out of your way to flag a server to ask for anything), but the food has always been consistently good. My favorite/go to's are the scallops.

went for dim sum and sat down immediately here. The ambiance inside was lovely and refreshing to see in Flushing. There are definitely a lot of restaurants that have underwhelming storefronts and when you're seated, you are wow'ed. The dim sum we had was amazing and the flavors were great. We did notice that the dim sum dishes were a little different than the classics that we know and love but they still do it so well. Be ware that you will indeed need to flag down staff to order your food because the restaurant can get quite busy. read more

Congee village is our go to spot for family dinners in downtown Flushing. It is one of my dad's favorite spots because he claims the flavor is always consistent and we definitely have a few go to orders: garlic roasted chicken, walnut shrimp, lamb chops, beef ho fun and any of their soups! We always end up over ordering and having leftovers but I will say the portions are pretty good, can be a little inconsistent sometimes depending on the day you go. They are very busy during key holidays (CNY, Mother's Day, Autumn Moon Festival, etc.) and the dishes can feel a bit rushed from the kitchen with smaller portions sometimes. They do offer a cash discount if you pay with cash but I've found this to be inconsistent too, sometimes they offer you 10% off and other times they remove the tax from your bill which is closer to 16% but we usually do try to have some cash on us to take advantage of this as cash is king in Flushing. The ambience is slightly elevated from your classic Cantonese restaurant and they have ample tables and seating downstairs once you enter the main entrance. I haven't tried their dim sum yet for lunch but would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an authentic Chinese meal. read more
