It was packed even around 5pm but we didn't have to wait long, just enough for them to clean the table. I was actually thinking of avoiding this place since I read one review where Chinese clientele were being seated in the back of the restaurant... um I'm Chinese ... I was seated at the second table at the front. Anyway, we weren't hungry so we only ordered 2 dishes and white rice. Our usual Shrimp with Walnuts and Peking Pork Chops. L felt like getting Egg Drop soup for some reason. Like did I dine at Uncle Lou's to eat authentic Chinese food? hmm yes and no. Uncle Lou serves Cantonese dishes that's slightly Americanized...I knew this was a popular spot with non-Asians so obviously I needed to review it for myself and I also do restaurants recommendations for... non-Asians, not through social media, so they might enjoy the food but the restaurant is too busy...The food looks great, but it won't hit like a good authentic mostly Chinese spot. Egg drop soup..$5...small bowl...tastes like it could've come from any Chinese fast food restaurant but I think he saw other tables ordering it so he wanted something warm but the soup wasn't as good as other Chinese places we've been to...cough ..not in Chinatown. I had one shrimp and a small piece of pork chop and then we took the rest home. It was okay. Like it looked exactly like the real dishes but there was just something missing... but everyone around me was enjoying their food. Service was pretty good for such a popular spot and yes it was completely packed before 6pm on a Friday. Prices are more than your really good hole in the wall restaurant but less than a more upscale Chinese restaurant but that's to be expected when it's geared toward tourists and non-Chinese clients. The food wasn't bad at all, not wow, it was amazing, but good. I showed some pics to my mom and she thinks their Crispy Chicken looks really delicious...I'd actually take her here but it's too far of a walk from where she usually goes in Chinatown... I'd like her opinion on the food.

There's usually a line, but it moves quickly, and the whole experience is very much grab-and-go. No seating, just a delicious box of Cantonese roast meats to take with you.

They're not cheap, but we thought they were good enough to justify the trip all the way downtown to Chinatown. Sautéed Lobster with Sticky Rice, S.P., around $50: Somehow, the lobster and sticky rice combination works extremely well. The juices from the live lobster soak into the sticky rice, giving it a rich, savory flavor that reminds me of Spanish paella. It's a very satisfying dish. Live Fish, Fillet with Scallion, S.P., around $50-$100: Exceptionally fresh, and the fish was filleted very well. The preparation was simple enough to let the freshness and natural flavor of the fish come through. I would come back for these dishes. Congee Village may be expensive now, but good for special occasions to taste fresh and well prepared seafood.

The salted chicken wasn't umami or aromatic, the flavor was dull and slightly greasy, and there were a lot of bone residues.
