The newest location of the two Chinese restaurants owned by the Sun Group, Congee Bowery is bustling at all hours. Still serving up to 30 varieties of congee (bowls of traditional Chinese rice porridge) and outstanding Hong Kong and Cantonese dishes, expect some new additions to the already-extensive menu. The décor is also a tad more upscale than its counterpart, where tropical kitsch rules. Feel like singing Congee Bowery's praises? Check out the two private karaoke rooms.
