My first time ever was back when they were still in the food court. The congee was amazing, and their roast pork and roast duck were legit so good. Ever since they moved to the new storefront though, every visit has just gotten worse. The spot itself is small but busy, enough that takeout orders are flying out. There's a self serve dine in area in the back, but it's unkept. I'm not in this area as often anymore, so it's even more disappointing when the experience doesn't feel worth the trip. The congee is still good, texture and flavor, but the whole experience a little sour now. My partner and I agree we'd rather spend our money at our usual spot instead. I get the usual service vibe for a local Chinese spot like this, but this time they unfairly charged me $25 for an appetizer that was literally just bits and ends. The service was rough, it felt like they were forcing pieces on us and couldn't care less. They didn't give us spoons for our congee, and they forgot our fried crueller. When I asked for it, they gave me attitude instead of just owning it. At this point, after enough tries here, I'm good. read more

My go to spot for roast meats and congee! Tasty food at great prices. It's no frills, so don't expect great service. There are a few tables if you want to dine in, but it's pretty bare bones. I usually just grab takeout. read more

This is a seriously solid spot for a quick bowl of congee or wonton noodle soup. We came across this restaurant just by walking past in search of a quick lunch & figured the line of patrons ordering food was an indicator of good eats. We definitely weren't disappointed, placing 4 different orders and receiving the food in record time. The congee was smooth, a great indicator of how long it was boiled for. The flavor was incredible - way better than most I've had, and was the perfect thing to warm us up on a cold winter day. I loved the addition of peanuts to the top, something that many restaurants don't often do. The wonton noodle soup was great as well, and portion sizes for both were pretty large, ensuring you weren't leaving hungry. There isn't much seating at this establishment, so it's definitely more of a take out restaurant. Would definitely return for a warm bowl of congee that's better than I can make myself! read more

I had seafood congee. It was the tastiest soup I have had ever. The staff was welcoming and fast

- Locale Destination - It's in 8th ave and 60th st in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Right close to the subway station, the entrance of Chinatown. Ambiance: typical mom & pop's. No frill. Simple and casual. Menu: breakfast like congee to roasted pork/duck w/rice and noodles. Service: quick, no English, credit cards ok - Gluttony Expedition - Roasted duck: Roasted pork won't be available since the opening time. It'll be served after certain time. So I had only a duck choice in the morning. It's an authentic flavor, big portions, $7.5 for lots of food. Not bad! - Conqueror's Deduction - It's more like 3.5 stars. It's cheap, decent, big portions, and cash only. What not to like? read more

This restaurant is a family regular as I come to 8th Ave infrequently. This is authentic Cantonese. The decor is barebones as possible. Restroom is only for customers. After you order and pay for your food. Cleaning is self service. This time my family ordered congee and I ordered a sweet fried bread. This is not as frequently as available as the other longer fried dough. read more

The best congee in Brooklyn hands down. With 1 large plain congee, 1 small chicken congee, and 1 fried bread came to $8.50. You can not beat the price nor the flavor the congee is packing. Going back this morning and I will be adding noodles to my order. I love noodles. The best hidden gem. read more

Nice, quick, and affordable. I am not normally a congee person but I am a huge fan of theirs. You can never go wrong ordering their Tang Jai congee and Century egg congee. My ultimate favorites. Its thick, smooth, and full of flavor. I wish there was a chain store closer to me. I started going to them ever since they were part of the food court in Fei Long supermarket. I was estatic to find out they opened a store of their own (although still questionable to some, its muuuuuuuch cleaner. trust me.) This is where my sister created a congee monster (my Nigerion brother in law). This is the only place he would constantly request congee from. Unfortunately, like most Chinese places, you must fight for your right to order. Fight your way through those aunties, uncles, grandmas and grandpas. It is war. read more

It's a small hole-in-the-wall takeout shop, but there are some seats in the back to dine in. It is not a fancy place, nor do they have the best service, but if you're looking for a fast and more affordable meal, this is the place to stop by. I came here twice and enjoyed the food. Of everything we ordered, I liked the pork belly and congee. The duck was good, but it was on the saltier side. read more

Been going for years even when they were inside the shopping mall. The congee is the best. Not to mention the roast meats. Staff is friendly. read more

Love their congee - not watery but thick and full of flavor. Fast service and fair prices. They say they open at 7:30AM but they're not actually ready for open at that time. Don't come before 8AM. read more

No frills Chinese BBQ spot. I was surprised by the set up, tho not my first time seeing this. Everything is ordered at the counter, seat yourself, bus your own table. We ordered a duck noodle soup and a clay pot rice with Chinese sausages. Aside from the clay pot and the one metal spoon they give you, everything is in plastic to go containers. I would love to have actual tableware. Staff were nice though! The duck noodles were great. Good portions and hit the spot. The clay pot, less so, a bit too oily - maybe I ordered the wrong version. Overall everything was a decent portion size for the price. Less service for lower cost of food. read more

Had the 1000 yr old egg congee and the salted pork here had a horrible taste like the salt was hiding it spoilage. Don't get anything that's using this minced pork. The fried cruller and shrimp rice roll was good. My mistake to eat here. All the tables, counters had grease, crumbs and it was 9am! Bathroom was also out of order. read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Located within Brooklyn Chinatown, ordering was a chaotic process with the many cutting the queue to order. I guess speaking Cantonese and calling out the order to Auntie is helpful... The restaurant was pretty warm even with the ductless air conditioner turned on. The beef brisket roast duck leg noodle soup was excellent. The beef brisket was very tender and flavorful. The roast duck leg was fragrant and tender. The egg noodles were tasty and the pork broth was light. There are a few tables towards the back of the restaurant for eating on-site. $10 for lunch, cash only. read more

Great food, fair prices, super nice staff, comfy seats -- and no tips needed! Definitely recommend!

I liked their bbq meats - crispy pork, roast duck, roast pork. Solid choice and they accept credit card payment! The crispy pork did not have a funky pork stench which I despise from other places when it does. The roast duck was not the best I've ever had but solid choice. Roast pork was decent as well. I did ask for extra soy sauce and ginger scallion sauce to top my rice off but I found it to be under salted even so. The thousand island pork congee was made fresh and delish. read more

This restaurant has some of the best congee in all of NYC imho, along with some of the best Cantonese style roast meats (aka Chinese BBQ) as well. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of the congees, so I won't bother listing out everything I like (all of them). In regards to the roast meats, quality and taste is second to none, including famous spots like Big Wong in Chinatown. However, depending on the chef cutting up your meats, you could get some weird shapes and cuts. This is the one negative I have with their food. Every time I stop by the area, it is now a foregone conclusion that I will pick up some congee and maybe roast meats. Only question is how much? And usually the answer is way too much. Lol read more

My go-to for morning breakfast that satisfies my heart and tummy. It serves mainly Cantonese style rice and noodles dishes that I grew up eating as a kid. My favorite is their Sampan Congee (Tan-jai Jook), a combination of seafood and minced meat cooked together in rice porridge. Their porridge is always the right consistency that's perfect with a Fried Dough stick. Breakfast just doesn't get any better than this. Price is decent and gets you full. The wonton noodle soup tastes very similar to what I had in Hong Kong. The only complaint is the ordering process. The front counter is very narrow, customers lines up from the left and right, and just shout out their orders. If you want to give the traditional Canto style cuisine a try: this place might be a good start. read more

Stumbled upon the most delicious and cheap Cantonese food on 8th Avenue. It doesn't surprise me at the amount of volume. I was coming off a long day of work and I ended up stumbling across Ng's Kitchen, which prior was located in Fei Long food court. Their food has never failed to amaze me as I have tried other restaurants roast meat. I always received dry and untendered meat but at Ng's Kitchen, they have never failed me. There's a reason they always have a line! I ordered my family two duck lo meins and one wonton duck mein. The portion for the price is insane. I genuinely am a huge fan of their breakfast menu with congee and sweet fried bread but at times they are hard to come by since they always sell out super quick. I would not hesitate to recommend to all my fellow friends, family, and co-workers! read more

This restaurant used to be a stall inside Fei Long Supermarket and my family and I used to go there often. We never had a problem ordering from there until this new location opened. The workers at this location are SO rude. No matter how nicely and politely you speak to them, they will always answer with an attitude. It is disgusting. The only reason we continue to come is because they're the only place I know of that makes the fried cruellers and sweet bread for congee. I know a few other places on 8th ave makes it, but it is definitely not as good or as fresh as this place. I came early one Saturday morning around 8am thinking they'll have the fried cruellers ready since it is usually paired with congee for breakfast. The cashier told me it will take about 10 minutes because they are still making it. I told her I'll wait and paid for 5 orders. Another lady kept walking out from the back with one order each time of the fried cruellers and I thought they'll save it on the side until they had 5 orders ready for me. Instead of holding it, they decided to sell it to another customer that came after me, prolonging my wait for the cruellers. I said something the first time and the cashier said more is coming and to just wait. Then the lady came from the back again with 2 orders and kept it on the side for me but the cashier decided to sell them to another customer instead. I was super annoyed with how they handled the orders and didn't get my 5 orders until 8:45am. What was supposed to be a 10 minute wait ended up being 45 minutes. I would probably come back for the fried cruellers only. The best time to come for the fried cruellers would probably be after 9am. I was told the sweet bread isn't ready until after 9:30-10am. Just a heads up. read more

Ng's Kitchen is a few steps from the 8th Ave train station. When I entered, I see customers crowded at the order counter. The stall serves everything beforehand. There is no menu, but rather papers taped on the order counter with the prices displayed. Most of the customers are older adults and seniors. I order two kinds of congee, which uses long grain rice. read more

Are you craving century egg congee ? Because same!! This used to be the congee stall inside fei long's food court but after that closed down, they moved this location and opened their own restaurant! I ordered: Preserved egg (century egg) congee ($5) Sweet fried bread (basically ox tongue pastry) ($1.50) They offer so many congee varieties as well as noodles, bbq and rice like you can't say no to cheap but delicious Chinese food, you just can't!! They are well known for their congee. Back in feilong, there always used to be long lines for their congee. My favorite of all time will always be their preserved egg congee! No place else makes it like they do! And for $5, you get a large sized quart that is good enough for 2 servings. Don't forget to get the sweet fried bread which the official "Wikipedia" name is ox tongue pastry (ngau lei sou) from here because it is soooo good omg. It's like youtiao (Chinese fried oil stick) but oval shaped and much bigger. It's crispier and sweet! Seriously, forget Youtiao, this is going to be your new fav. But hurry because they tend to sell out of it quickly, that's how you know it's too good! Don't say I didn't warn you. read more

I was here to get roast pork and roast duck. The service was great but the roast pork was very fatty which I did not like but the roast duck was perfect and very fresh. The fatty pork is the only reason why I did not give 5 stars to this place. read more

I would give it a 4. The lo main is on the salty side, and the wonton soup noodle is on the plain side. Cheap price with a good portion of food. Taste wise, it was under my expectation, at lease I won't come back for that. However, They are famous on the roasted pork and duck. I may try that next time. Staff is very friendly, 5 points to the staff read more

The best congee around! Their congee is a thicker consistency filled with goodies. Love it. They have great wonton noodle soups too as well as roasted meats. Can't go wrong here except for many rude men that just walk up to the counter and start ordering even though there are many people waiting. Ugh. Be ready to shout your order when it's your turn. read more

Started coming here after a terrible experience at Bamboo Garden. I love ordering from here, food is always good. I usually get the roast duck and bbq pork. Ordering here was quite confusing at first. You order and pick up at the window. Because this is very culturally local, there is not much of a line system - survival of the fittest. Be vocal and get your order in! read more
