Congee was good on a cold day. Chicken was more like the hainanese white chicken chopped into small pieces and it was nicely tender.
Located in Vanderbilt market. I came here for lunch the other day and I liked it. I got the mixed chicken rice. The rice itself was the highlight for me, it was aromatic and flavorful, especially after mixing it with the three sauces provided (ginger scallion, spicy, and a sweet soy sauce type). As for the meat, the poached chicken wasn't as tender and juicy as I expected, but I still really liked the gelatinous skin on it. The roast chicken was great, the meat was juicy and the skin was flavorful. I liked the yu choy as well, it was crunchy and fresh and contrasted well with the soft and aromatic rice. The dish came with a clear broth soup which was super flavorful (I'm assuming it was the chicken poaching liquid), which was honestly one of the highlights for me! Overall I would recommend Lou Yau Kee if you're in the area looking for a yummy meal. I wouldn't go far out of my way for it though.
Really great food. Lowkey got swindled by the women. I asked what was better the roasted chicken or poached and she said mixed bowl. I was like alright whatever you say and got it. That bowl was hella tax, way more than if I were to get the poaches or roasted chicken alone. Anyways it was good though. The rice was really great as well which I feel weird saying because it’s just rice but they added a bit of flavor to it. The sauces were good as well and veggies were alright. Overall great place but it was pretty expensive but can I really complain when I’m in New York? I can’t. Good spot. My Beli have it around a seven which I think is pretty accurate.
