    Pork Banh Mi Sandwich and Chicken Congee Bowl
    Geraldine E.

    This is my first time have Congee and it was better than what I expected. At Maya Congee Cafe they put twist to their Congee. It's thicker and made with three grains ( white and brown rice and red quinoa). The broth has ginger in it. @mayacongeecafe puts a twist to Congee. Congee is a Chinese rice pudding. It is boiled with large amounts of water and can be served with sweet or savory toppings. Braised Chicken bowl Pork Banh Mi Ginger Tumeric Latte Passionfruit Iced Fruit Tea with Boba Curry potatoes ( not pictured) The Braised Chicken Congee bowl is actually a little thicker than what I thought it will be. It's similar to grits. The toppings all meshed well together from the crispy shallots to the well seasoned chicken. The banh Mi was so delicious. The slight sweet and spiciness from the braised pork and condiments was well executed here. They have one of the best banh mi I ever tried. The curry potatoes was well seasoned and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Passionfruit Iced Tea with Boba. They also have a small Asian market from NYC owned to international owned Asian products. I love that they pretty much make everything from scratch for their food items. This is also a cafe so you can also get your coffee fix, teas and juices. Hours 10am-4pm everyday They have another location on Gates Avenue

    Chicken Ginger Soup with rice
    Dae E.

    A great place for lunch. I enjoy the chicken ginger soup and I have them add rice to it. Light and delicious. The vibe in this place is pretty chill. Good music and plenty of Asian snacks to buy. I must also mention that they make a fab Americano. Pop by and enjoy!

    Veggie congee bowl

    Cute spot with delicious food and coffee. We had the Vietnamese style coffee, I have the condensed milk option and my partner had the coconut milk. Both were delicious. They use Variety beans which I love. They have a cute grocery section too with all kinds of chili oils and spices etc. Food was delicious! We got the veggie congee bowl(I asked for without seasonal vegetables) and the breakfast sandwich.

    Spicy Pork RICE Bowl with soft egg
    Gloria S.

    Been wanting to try this place for a minute. I typically don't eat congee unless I'm feeling unwell but stopped in before my hair appt and grabbed a spicy pork congee with soft egg and was not disappointed. Good amount of protein and the pickled veggies were a yummy foil to the braised meat and warm congee. Service was super friendly. Ambiance inside the shop was dope. I'll come back to purchase the mushroom dark soy sauce they had displayed, along with other umami-rich Asian ingredients. Was satisfied and will make a return visit.

    The Avocado Scallion Pancake Breakfast Wrap was so yummy! I'll definitely be coming back here!

    I've always liked this place. Best Pad see eu in town. The food was very flavorful. The service is…read moregreat. The ambiance is clean and inviting. Love to eat here when I come into town.

    Tl;dr Version- Good apps, good HH drinks, Honestly terrible entree…read more This is one of the many (many) Thai restaurants in the surrounding area which means that competition is stiff. Anyway, I was at this pretty long running Thai restaurant a while ago with two others for an early dinner. We sat outside as the weather was very nice and the inside was a bit too cold for one of the other people which was fine as they have a very nice outdoor space. As it was early, they still had happy hour and I ordered a Lychee Mojito which I think it was $8 or $9 instead of $12 or $14 or so. I don't mind at all that it was a tad boozy and there were a handful of lychees in there. This was nice. Speaking of nice, the best thing here were the appetizers. We had some type of fried dumpling to begin with though I'm honestly not sure which one as none of them really match the description and we definitely did not have the Andaman one as it contains pork and one of the other people doesn't eat it. Whatever it was, the dumpling was actually excellent being very well fried but not oily with a nice tasty center that had some basil or some other type of herb for an extra bonus. The dish had a slightly sour sweet sauce below which was fine of course. Whatever dish whatever it was, I would recommend it. There was also the pretty tasty Isan Papaya Salad (or rather Somtum for $13.95) consisting of green papaya, string bean, peanut, cherry tomatoes, and a cherry lime dressing. There was plenty of papaya for crunch and there was a bit of heat to it though less some than many other places. It tasted fresh overall with the lettuce absorbing a lot of the extra sauce. It is good but it's hard to order it here when it's literally a block away from one of the best papaya salads in the city at Zabb PuTawn's BK location. My main dish was pretty regrettably the Pad Kra Prow listed as your choice of meat stir fried with onion, garlic, bell pepper and basil in spicy basil sauce. I chose chicken (or in other words pad krapow gai) which was one of the cheap options at $18.95 and ordered it spicy and the dish arrived and tasted very differently than what I expected and not in a good way. Usually, chicken or whatever meat it is in this dish is chopped into small pieces to absorb the sauce and the dish has good kick to it making it one of my favorite Thai dishes as I like a lot of heat. The meat arrived instead in pieces which is fine as some other spots do this and as there was plenty of them but they were pretty tasteless and lacked texture with some of them being a bit gummy. There was also a brown sauce on the bottom which had a hint of holy basil but not really enough which didn't help the bad chicken. I don't mind Americanized Thai food as long as it tastes good but the main dish was atrocious and there's several places nearby which make versions which can run circles around it. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Outside of that awful dish, I tried the Chicken Pad Kee Mao/drunken noodles which was the same price which was definitely better which didn't really take much. There was plenty of meat again but the wok hei lacked with the noodles but at least it was decently spicy. The last person I believe got a fish which was fine. In a sea of Thai spots littered around Cobble Hill, this definitely falls under the "Could've Been Better" of the bunch though honestly if it wasn't for the dumplings, I might be giving this place a 1. Stick with the appetizers.

They also have backyard seating area as well. They have this afternoon tea set that's $38. It comes with a variety of savory and sweet items. The chive pancakes were tasty and everybody enjoyed it the most, as well as the pork floss egg tart. Some other items weren't as tasty. I'm glad to have tried it, but won't be ordering it again. The pad see ew was delicious! It had good "wok hei" and noodles were slippery. I would come back for this dish. And I'd like to try their other entrees as well. Staff was super nice and accommodating.

Staff was friendly there is outdoor seating and a wide variety of food and drink options (alcoholic and non alcoholic) I think. They have outdoor seating and I think this place would be a great option for those booking bachelorette parties or baby shower venues. Their regular thai tea was a bit sweet for me but I really enjoyed my friends pumpkin spice thai tea (hot) it wasnt too sweet. The afternoon tea time set was cute but I would go for their entree party set next time instead. ($68) Luckily we were able to do tea time for one since it states $48 per person and me and 2 friends shared whatever was on it (chefs choice) the only 2 dishes that stood out was the chive pancake and the egg floss egg tart. The pad see ew which isn't on their afternoon set was good it had alot of "wok" air iykyk.
