    The kitchen
    Dionne H.

    I was craving something small and light after work. I chose the chicken ginger soup and an iced chai latte. It is cute little intimate restaurant with an open kitchen and a small store inside. I ordered it to go and it was still pretty hot when I got home. The soup was very flavorful and tasty. The broth really soothed my body and senses. No noodles were in it. I believe this is an Indonesian restaurant. The little store sold noodles sauces games and books. I am definitely interested in coming back to try other items on the menu.

    I came on a weekend and there were seats available. There are 4 tables that seat 2 people each, and a small window counter with 2 seats. You order at the counter and then seat yourself. I ordered the small chicken congee. It was flavorful and I would get it again, but next time I would order the large because I was still hungry after the small bowl. This is definitely a small and casual spot so I wouldn't plan on staying long.

    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
    Nadia B.

    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!

    An absolute delight! Came here for NY restaurant week, they have a $60 dinner special and it is so…read moreworth it. The menu for the week was perfect, summery, fresh. I didn't book a reservation, just walked in right around 5:30 on a Tuesday night. Sat facing the street for good people watching. I really liked the decor, the plates, the servers were very nice. I ordered a Last Herb, a Mezcal play on the classic cocktail the Last Word, and I just adore the presentation. Flowers in the ice-cube (how can you beat that)!!! And there were also little edible flowers in my salad. It just felt like a really nice way to treat myself. Definitely recommend!

    I was able to catch the tail end of the four course menu, but this will no longer be available…read morestarting next week. Beignet - unexpected, I really kept expecting it to be sweet but I'd get hit with the olive tapenade instead. The texture is nice, but I was a bit confused. Jewel box tomatoes - bright, fresh, and light. The mostly neutral but slightly savory feta gelato was very unique. Risotto - creamy, but still a bit of texture on each grain of rice. I loved the sweetness from the corn and richness from the squash. The peppers were delicious pops of flavor. Mille feuille - light and refreshing cream with a flaky exterior. Definitely come on Tuesday to save $16 (if the discount continues in the future). $83 for a high end-ish four-course prix fixe (includes tax and automatic service charge) isn't too bad in terms of pricing.

Our…read morewaiter Demmoy made sure we were good the whole time and checked in on us throughout the meal. We started with the crab cakes and calamari, which were both tasty and came out fresh. The drinks were also good about an 8/10 for me. For the mains we tried the Steak Rasta Pasta and the Oxtail with rice. Both dishes had good flavor and the portions were satisfying. If you're looking for a Caribbean spot in Brooklyn with good food and a nice vibe, Charm BK is definitely worth trying.

    First and foremost, I am absolutely flabbergasted and disappointed by the experience I had today…read more Three friends and I stopped by to enjoy a few cocktails and maybe grab a bite to eat. When I walked in, I noticed two available seats at the bar. A Caucasian woman took one of the seats, and I sat in the other. Moments later, an employee asked me to move because the woman's friend was supposedly on the way. Now, I've always understood bar seating to be first come, first served. What made the situation even more frustrating was that I wasn't even given the opportunity to order a drink or remain seated until the friend actually arrived. Instead, I was immediately asked to give up my seat for someone who wasn't even present. As a Black man, on Juneteenth of all days, the optics of the situation did not sit well with me. The music was Black. The atmosphere was Black. The culture being celebrated was Black. Yet it felt like preference was being given to someone who wasn't even there over a paying customer who was. Maybe that wasn't the intent, but perception matters, and the experience left a very bad taste in my mouth. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment. Avoid it at all cost! Zero STARS

For the table, we ordered the oxtail stew, fried chicken, yams, collard greens, and mac & cheese. I also had a Peach Bellini for a little bubbly. Everything was exactly as I remembered -perfectly cooked and well seasoned, large portions with more than enough to take home. The chef stopped by our table which was a nice touch. Service overall was great. They also make great use of such a small space. It is indeed well worth the visit. Side note, we ordered the same exact items off the menu as we did a year ago...only one thing was missing which was the biscuits with the flavored butter jam. We were told the biscuits were replaced with cornbread. I didn't order the cornbread this time around but would like to see the biscuits return at some point.

    We loved the food…read more Came here on a saturday for lunch before the world cup. We arrived just when it opened I think. The place was pretty quiet. Friendly waitress greeted us and sat us immediately. Menu's came out and they recommended a pizza and burger. We agreed and ordered. Place started to pick up and get busy immediately after we ordered. Food came out pretty quickly. We each had a burger. Not a lot of options on the menu but we all tried the emily burger. It was worth it. Think, juicy and with an amazingly unique taste. The ingredients were high quality, the burger cooked to perfection. The table also split the modern pizza (I think). Not sure what to expect from this one but turns out it was perfect, unique and delicious. The cheese taste really shined through. Overall, we were super happy with the food here. Stop by if you have a chance.
