My husband and son discovered this restaurant when they were in New Orleans without me but they couldn't stop saying how much they enjoyed it and more importantly it was one of the very few places that accommodate dietary restrictions such as vegan, dairy free, vegetarian and more. A couple months after their trip, my hubby and I were back in town and I was excited to visit here. Sometimes I get nervous if my husband over-hypes a place because I get let down but not this time. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed an amazing meal. I mentioned to our adorable waitress that I am dairy-free (tough in NOLA) and don't eat beef. Not only was she ready to recommend dishes but she knew all sorts of substitutions and then she came out with papers that address all kinds of food restrictions and allergies. THIS PLACE WAS READY ! The menu.... oh my goodness, the menu is unique and creative and delicious; like combining then local typical cuisines with asian. And if what you order isn't enough, they bring samples of other dishes for you to try ( I assume they make a dish for one table and have extra, perhaps). AND they didn't forget my food issues; when they brought out a taste of something, they had a substituted dish for me. They brought my hubby a sample of their version of a beignet and for me a beautiful pickled radish shaving with other veggies; VERY THOUGHTFUL ! I loved their SATSUMA GLAZED OCTOPUS with heirloom carrots, peach amba, crispy lentils and my husbands favorite dish was the SPAGHETTI WITH COCONUT CRAB Broth braised leeks, Louisiana blue crab. We loved all the other stuff we got too. MAYPOP is a MUST !
A large group of us tried every single dish on the a la carte menu of the restaurant, including dessert. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the food, especially as someone who would typically not enjoy Asian fusion restaurants. The groups overall favorites were the shrimp and grits, which were ranked as one of the best bites we had throughout a few days of eating in the city. The fried cereal milk custard was also a personal favorite! Service was prompt, especially as the restaurant was not busy at the time. What a delight to have discovered in New Orleans!
I recently visited Maypop for the second time and I was pleasantly reminded of how good the food is there! My friend and I went as soon as they opened at 4pm and were able to order from the happy hour menu. We were the only people in there for a while so we were served quickly and our waiter was very helpful with recommendations. We ordered a Tattersal Spritz, spicy margarita, 4 of the hot sausage steam buns, the roasted sweet potato, the chicken wings to start. When I say delicious, I mean it! The hot sausage steam bun was the most delicious thing I've had in a while, the sweet potato came in second place. We couldn't help but to order dessert- we did too much. We ordered the peach bourbon ice cream and the Ube cheesecake ice cream which was phenomenal!! Literally the best! We're so glad we chose to come here. Not only is it well lit and chic, the food is absolutely on point. Can't wait to come back and try more of the dinner menu items.
This is a modern fusion restaurant with a well-thought menu. My family and I were able to get a last minute reservation at this place. We got the nuoc man caramel glazed pork shoulder, lobster tom kha with scallion malfatti dumplings, spaghetti with coconut crab broth, louisiana black drum, milk tea creme brulee, and fried cereal milk custard! The nuoc man caramel glazed pork shoulder was so delicious and the favorite of everyone in the group. All the other dishes were pretty solid but the pork shoulder stood out significantly.
Dinner here was a truly incredible experience. We dined on a very cold Tuesday evening. We did not have a reservation and were still able to be sat quickly at a wonderful table. The atmosphere was relatively dark but chic and sleek. There were a few large parties when we dined but it did not affect our service or experience at all. This menu is unbelievable. I honestly had the hardest time deciding on what to get but we landed on the Roasted Bone Marrow, Nước Mắm Caramel Glazed Pork Shoulder, and the Lobster Tom Kha with Scallion Malfatti Dumplings. We also opted for two cocktails, the Tom Khallins and the La Abeja, both delicious. While waiting for our appetizer we were given Curry Beignets as a complimentary gift from the kitchen. These were unreal! Crispy fried with a creamy curry center. The Roasted Bone Marrow came out next and what a beautiful dish. The bone marrow was savory with a bite of acidity from pickled onions, covered in flavorful light curry sauce and served with warm roti. Our two main entrees were wonderful. The pork shoulder was tender with crispy skin! The Tom Kha was so so good, huge pieces of tender lobster, incredible umami wild mushrooms, and perfect pillowy dumplings. It was truly an incredible experience and I cannot wait to go back during my next visit to New Orleans.
I had the most memorable meal here. I celebrated my remote work holiday party here and the chef and kitchen, went above and beyond to accommodate my many allergies. I enjoyed my Grand Tasting Menu. Everything was delicious. The service was amazing. My waiter Grayson was a delight. Great atmosphere and wonderful music selection. Get here and eat this yummy goodness.
This was ALMOST a miss for me but turned into a hit. My companion and I made a reservation on OpenTable for 6PM. We wanted to dine here before going to the Pelicans game. We were promptly seated and then we sat for 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. For fear of never being attended to and missing the game, we elected to leave. I stopped by the hostess stand to let her know our plans and the lovely hostess apologized emphatically and brought us water and put our server on notice that we were there. She also offered us an appetizer on the house for the inconvenience. Our server, Josh, was also very accommodating and took our order right away. We went with the octopus app and it was DELICIOUS. I was afraid it would be too sweet because of the satsuma flavoring but it was PERFECT. For my entree, I had the Lobster Tom Ka and it was SO good! The portion was small but paired with the appetizer, it was perfect. My date had the pork entree and I tasted it and it was also excellent. I would like to come back and try some of their fancy cocktails and different platters next time I'm in town! The ambience is very romantic and intimate. I was surprised by the number of children present because it seems like a more adult-friendly establishment but apparently it's good for families, too!
I've visited New Orleans at least 10 times over the past 5 years and I've only just discovered Maypop on this recent trip... how did I not see you on the radar? I was in town with my adult son and he wanted something unique and we came across Maypop on a walk to the grocery store... nice layout and decor (modern with industrial and asian flair). When we got back to the hotel, we took a look at Maypop online and were learned their flavor concept is a fusion of SOUTHERN---and---ASAIN; odd to process at first but looking over the menu and were were impressed enough to make a reservation for that night. We arrived on a Sunday night for our 8:30PM dinner reservation and we're pleasantly surprised to see Sunday night so busy... but our table was ready. We ordered their ANNATTO SESAME ROLLS; served with Cultured Butter and Shellfish Pepper Jam... yes, I said Shellfish Pepper Jam and before you begin thinking fishy jelly, let me just clarify then Jam was delicious. Right after delivered the Rolls, another server came by with a complimentary sample dish... I don't recall exactly what they described but for the most part it was a "SAVORY" VERSION OF A BEIGNET (rich and moist and not sweet by any means) and it was served over a Remoulade (it was seasoned and almost like a Crab Remoulade). As delicious as the Beignet was, it was the remoulade that shined. We even asked our waitress to place a full order of these Savory Beignets BUT they don't have them as a menu item (but I wish they did). My son ordered the LOUISIANA BLACK DRUM OVER BUTTERNUT SQUASH PURÉE... I didn't have to ask if he loved his dish; it was obvious. The fish had the skin over but it was done with crisp skin but the rest of the fish was soft. I had a hard time choosing since so many dishes were interesting but I ended up going with the server's suggestion, SPAGHETTI IN A COCONUT CRAB BROTH. Oh my, it was nothing like a broth... way too rich and thick (not watery). It also had Louisiana Blue Crab and Braised Leeks. Loved my dish. The serving sizes are not huge so we "THOUGHT" we'd be able to get dessert but the food is VERY RICH and as much as we wanted to see what amazing things they can do with dessert, we were just done. MAYPOP didn't take no for an answer so for the second time during this dinner, they presented up with "another taste". This time it was a very small taste... very small as in the size of my thumbnail; no kidding. Again, I didn't pay attention enough to know exactly what it was but I would say it was a CHOCOLATE TORTE with a hint of Caramel and a heavy dusting of Cocoa Powder and a touch of Rock Salt. MAYPOP DID NOT DISAPPOINT ! See you again soon !
New Orleans is steeped with a rich history, all present in the aspects of fine dining and modest establishment's. All food here is served with love and good home cooking. Ambiance: Chic and elegant, it's warm and inviting. Food: My boyfriend and I are wary of Asian fusion restaurants because they rarely make their mark. But Maypop is by far the best meal we've had in a very long time. Spectacular flavors, and the finest and freshest ingredients. Flavors that my boyfriend and I are familiar with but it's elevated to the next level. We cannot stop raving about this place. Service: Next level service here, friendly smiles and excellent knowledge of the menu. Attentive. We felt so comfortable.
I've been severely disappointed with the food in New Orleans, and honestly this was the only/best place I went to on my 3-day trip! A lot of places were greasy/salty tourist traps, but this was refined dining that creatively fused Asian and southern food together. The fried drum (fish) was crispy and the butternut curry was warm and balanced. The coconut grits were a little too plain, but we also like their caramelized sweet potato on the HH menu. The service was great, and one of the managers even came out to provide a list of more food recs since we mentioned our disappointing experience thus far. Ambience was nice but a bit empty since we went pretty early at 4:30. Hopefully it's livelier at night, and if not, it deserves to be!
I was torn between a 3 and 4 on this place. Come on yelp..let us give half stars! Anywhere, a group of us arrived during happy hour. We wanted to try a few small plates so we could sample more things. Service was top notch for sure. I loved the ambiance and decor. I thought the bread service and hot sausage bao were awesome! I tried bone marrow for the first time here...I think I enjoyed it..wasn't much there for the price. Lol. The Oyster appetizer was fried well but the accompanying items on the dish were a bit meh. The chicken wings were served with a completely different sauce bc they were out of what they should have been tossed with. Flavor wasn't great on these. Ended with creme Brule with a semi hard top. No one likes it semi-hard..am I right? Lol. I would visit again just for happy hour..fyi..the hot sausage baos are only served during happy hour.
Great restaurant to try. May need reservations to secure your seat. Popular restaurant among local people. I would said the cuisine is new American. Very classy restaurant. Price is a bit high. The restaurant start with complimentary boudin Ball. Very traditional appetizers. Our first dish is the crispy tapioca noodles with jumbo gulf shrimp. The base is turmeric curry. Dish is not bad. Our second dish is the Roasted Marrow Bone top with Creole Lobster Bordelaise. This dish come with warm roti bread go with bone marrow. The lobster meat mixed with bone marrow is a good combination. I recommend this dish. The restaurant is rated 4.5 stars. Good services, love the food, good chef skills.
When researching restaurants to try on my New Orleans trip, Maypop was mentioned in multiple food publications. Naturally, I had to add this it to my list. While I had high expectations for this restaurant, I didn't expect it to be hands down, the best meal of my entire trip. The menu brings together the unique, diverse culture the Gulf Coast and city with classic Southeast Asian favorites into a unique, creative celebration of flavors unlike any other. We ordered the following: - Bread Service / Annatto Sesame Rolls with Cultured Butter and Shellfish Pepper Jam (5/5) - If you have any doubts whether to pay extra for bread service, to that I say, get the freaking bread! So worth the order with its pillow soft, sweet almost pretzel-like bread, salty butter and tangy jam. After trying this, you will always yourself when having bread service in the future: where's the shellfish pepper jam? - Crawfish and Andouille Tom Yum over Gnochetti Pasta (5/5) - Another stellar, must-order dish! This dish delivers exactly what the entire fusion menu represents and what the restaurant is all about and was my favorite of the night. My husband and I appreciated how generous they were with the portion size. - Nuoc Mam Caramel Glazed Sticky Pork Shoulder (5/5) - Two words: Flavor Bomb. The sticky pork shoulder has so many dynamic flavors going on: sweet, savory, salty, umami and more. It comes accompanied by a refreshing and tangy chayote and green Papaya salad and roti bread and the idea is to make your own tacos with the pork shoulder. - Spice Crusted Gulf Fish in Saffron Coconut Crab Jus (4/5) - Delicious! The coconut crab jus reminded me of a delicious curry made for some amazing dipping with our roti from the pork shoulder dish. The fish was well cooked and perfectly seasoned. - Vietnamese Coffee Creme Brûlée (5/5) - I loved how Maypop took one of the most classic desserts and infused it with their Southeast Asian theme. The strong Vietnamese coffee flavor came through well in this dessert and worked beautifully with the burnt sugar crust. All of the desserts on their menu sounded amazing though and I wish I had room in my stomach to try more! Located in the Business District of New Orleans, the restaurant was a little ways away from the more touristy French Quarter. The inside space and ambiance is beautiful, spacious and modern and makes for a lovely little escape. Highly recommend making a stop here when you're in the city, you definitely won't regret it!
So we are here in New Orleans for my wife's Birthday. This is a really nice Asian fusion restaurant that is close by... walking in the summer heat is not recommended for us San Franciscans. MY ONE TIP: if you want a table....make a reservation. We did not have one so we sat at the bar. When you enter there is no hint that this is an Asian restaurant... and honestly its not...calling it Asian Fusion is also a misnomer. The only term is haute cuisine at a moderate price. Starters: Roasted bone marrow etouffee- served with fresh and hot roti. So rich.. scraping the marrow into the etouffee then spooning it on some roti. Very well done. Loved the creaminess. Crispy fried oysters- you get 6 light cornbread crusted oysters topped with shaved cheese. Juicy and crunchy, savory and sweet all in one bite. Entrees: Pan fried scallops on a bed of noodles- 3 perfectly fried scallops on a bed of cut noodles. My wife really liked this dish only because she is semi familiar with the flavor profiles. This is probably the most "Asian" entree ordered tonight. Night special Beef Brisket - very thinly sliced brisket accompanied by tossed tomato/blackberry; the mint and cilantro that was with the tomato really brings out the freshness if the dish. My personal favorite. Duck breast with beets and squash- there is a slight hint of duck a l'orange to this dish. Duck was medium rare and juicy. My best friend dish of the night. I am not a beet fan so I come slightly prejudice. Dessert: Halo halo- traditional Filipino dessert... but they topped it with Fruity Pebbles and it was simply amazing. Gochujang mochi brownie- light and spongy with a bit of chewy. Cannot taste the chili at all. Very good finish to dinner. Men's room- 1 urinal/ 2 stalls. Room is on the dark side regarding lighting. They are using high quality paper towels. Room was clean and maintained. Need to give a shout out to our server Lindsey K. She was wonderful and friendly and made some excellent recommendations. The Host was a class act... greeted us with cheer and his bubbly personality comes right out. LOVED his green short boots. read more

Absolutely fantastic meal including the service! The dessert was phenomenal. Definitely recommend this place if you're in NOLA and want something different. read more
At the recommendation of a New Orleans native, I decided to give Maypop a try. Not only did I find the menu interesting, but I loved the combination of Louisiana dishes intertwined with a Southeast Asian twist. Every dish was fantastic! The service was top notch and I really enjoyed the unique cocktails. I wish Tampa had something similar to this concept because it really is a treat when you find a restaurant that does fusion really well, like Maypop! read more
Amazing food - but there's room for improvement in terms of service. Starting with the food - we got the bread service (10/10), the catfish appetizer (9/10), the bone marrow w. roti (8/10) and for entrees - the pork shoulder (8/10) and the crawfish pasta (9/10) Overall - they were all innovative and interesting takes on creole food with a Asian influence. What could be improved on - the timing of the service, the waiter was helpful and nice, but the whole meal took almost 2 hrs and there were many moments we were waiting 15 mins in between dishes. Another minus for me, I ordered a Thai iced tea was was charged $7 when the menu said $5. I don't mind the increase, but for a mediocre iced tea, I would like to know ahead of time what I'm paying for. When I asked about it, they didn't apologized and just brushed me off saying that's how's it's been in the system for a while now. If that is the case, then please update your menu. read more
My favorite restaurant in New Orleans was Maypop! The blend of Asian flavors and dishes fused with classic Louisiana food left me speechless! Each dish was beautifully crafted by Executive Chef Michael Gulotta, with the perfect balance of spices and flavor. My favorite dish of the night which is a must order is the Blue Crab Dumplings. They are topped with a delicious coconut milk and mushroom sauce bringing SO much flavor to the dish. The service was wonderful and the vibe was perfect for a fun Friday night out! read more

Nothing tasted good. The entire meal seemed to have a theme of dustiness.. The rolls were dry and the P&J oysters similarly dusty and the amuse bouche was dusted with something resembling fern spores. Flavors and textures were off-putting. The vibe was sad, with an obviously doomed and now making the best of it feeling permeating the room. These were the end of meal thickly dusted cocoa poops. read more

SOOOOOO good! such an interesting and unique menu. I've never seen anything like this menu before and it's small! I wanted to get everything. The table decided on a few amazing dishes: The fried oysters were OUTSTANDING. We got 3 orders the soy aioli was aesthetically pleasing and tasted delish. The manchego cheese and cucumber elevated the fried oysters to a taste I didn't know fried oyster could go. I loved these and would get these over and over again! 6 come in an order. The spice crusted fish in saffron crab jus was also amazing!! The sauce was delicious and perfectly balanced salty, creamy, sweet, so perfect. The fish was a little weird tho and hard to cut. It was like stretchy?? I don't know how to explain it but it was hard to separate and the fish didn't flake off. But I dipped the skirt steak in the saffron sauce and that was delicious. The skirt steak was good and cooked perfectly. But didn't stand out from other steak dishes. Roasted apple and caviar spaghetti was pretty good! Creamy sauce and the caviar added a nice saltiness to the dish. Noodles in pistachio curry with shrimp was delicious too! The sauce was unique and noodles were fun shape. The sauce was salty and nutty and paired so well with the shrimp and noodles. We got the Vietnamese coffee crème brûlée and that was soooo good!! Def recommend that Ambiance was soo pretty and didn't feel like nola TBH. They also gave complimentary savory beignets with amazing orange sauce! Don't remember what the description was but it was bomb. Also they gave us complimentary little chocolates at the end which was good. Service was nice! read more

Maypop was great! I'm surprised it's not busier. It was pretty quiet and the setup of the restaurant is beautiful. My group of 3 came in, were immediately sat, got treated very well by multiple members of the crew and the food was delicious. Can't be beat! read more
Holy hell! This restaurant was amazing! Every dish blew me away and it's such a unique concept, I wish we had a place like this in LA! All the desserts we had were amazing too like the ube crème brûlée and the Vietnamese brûlée. The bone marrow with the roti was amazing. And the lamb was perfectly balanced with the coconut rice and the Harrisa & the olives!!!! read more

This was a lovely experience all around, service was fabulous and food was tasty and unique. Drinks were great. Salad and bread/dips were both lovely. My friends enjoyed their shrimp and grits. I had short ribs with a pasta which was tasty. Save room for the ube ice cream. Yum! read more
Missed Maypop!!! One of my faves pre-Covid so I was so happy to see it re-opened- We literally came right here from the airport for happy hour! The pork belly buns are a fave of my fam but I went right back to the oyster plate! (See pic) And the Pika Pika - brought my daughter here to try it actually. And all of their little extra touches- complimentary amuse bouche and also small, rich, wonderful chocolate to end the experience. And always fab ppl working here- good vibes abound. read more

As a vietnamese person visiting NOLA, I honestly had low expectations for this place. I totally thought it was just another trendy asian fusion place that presented their dishes well. I was happily proven wrong. Maypop is a pleasant mix of southern and south east asian food. Stand outs include the nuoc mam hot chicken. The breading on the chicken was spot and still crispy with the sauce. The chicken was nice and juicy and the nuoc mam sauce on the outside tied the dish together so well The nuoc mam shrimp and grits actually made me say "oh shit, this is good". I didn't think grits and nuoc mam would be a good combination, but damn was is pleasantly surprised. We went from Sunday brunch and the service was 10/10 and the staff was attentive. I would definitely recommend and come back. read more

This place went above and beyond our expectations. It was the dining experience of our week, and considering it's New Orleans I understand the severity of that statement. I really couldn't tell you what was better, the incredible food or our outstanding waitress. For the life of me I can't remember her name but she brought the experience to the cuisine. Our hostess also came by towards the end of the meal to check how everything was and just brighten up our evening. We had fried oysters, frog legs, pasta with caviar, short ribs, complimentary cajun beignets with pistachio dusting, and a peach cobbler to finish it off. I've been to Nolo a few times- do yourself this favor. read more

What a great gem! The bread service alone is worth coming back again and again for. I would eat nothing but that crawfish jam for the rest of my life and die happy. The rest of the menu has delightful spins on creole and Asian fusion. Each dish is so thoughtfully created and I'm excited so come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

Best meal I had in New Orleans and there were some seriously good ones as competition! Came with a friend and we had the chefs tasting menu. They were super good about my food allergies. I called ahead but even then I needed a few additional changes which they were amazingly accommodating for. Every bite was amazing. The service was wonderful. I honestly wish I had come here a second time instead of going to a few other places. It was that good. read more

Just wow. One of my favorite restaurants in NOLA. Great ambiance for a date night or small group. They started us off with complimentary savory beignets, which were delicious! My group shared the crispy fried oysters and Roti Bread then I got the Lobster Tom Kha with Scallion Malfatti Dumplings while my boyfriend ordered the Cambodian Marinated 12 oz Ribeye. Everything was so flavorful with great textures and colors. Drinks were just as delicious! For dessert, we shared the Milk Tea Crème Brûlée and Fried Cereal Milk Custard. Service was attentive and even the bathroom smelled so good. Honestly everything was a dream, I can't wait to come back next time I'm visiting! read more
I've eaten here twice since it opened and I've had good experiences both times. We had a reservation and were promptly seated and our waiter came to take our drink order and made some suggestions. The complimentary amuse bouche was a delicious beignet with a delicious sauce. We got the bread service as an appetizer which is a must! The pepper jelly was delicious! My main dish was the lamb shoulder. The flavor was good but the majority of the lamb in the dish was either fat or bone. My dinner companions had much better main dish. Will go back but try something different next time. read more
When I first walked in I was greeted by this fabulous young man. He was funny and energetic. We arrived early for reservations but was still able to be seated. The ambiance was great, the drinks at the bar great. The restaurant food is not peanut allergy or fish allergy friendly. But there was a few options , I had the HOUSE GROUND CHARCUTERIE RAGU WITH GARGANELLI PASTA it was pretty good. No meat and was not filling. My friends had the WOK FRIED STICKY PORK SHOULDER and also the fried oysters which all tasted great. read more

Loved this restaurant! The crawfish tom kha with scallion malfatti dumplings and the creme brulee were delicious! The place is kinda small so I recommend making reservations if you have a big group. The crawfish tom kha was smaller than I thought but the dessert is shareable. Definitely will go back to try something else! read more

One of the best fusion culinary experiences I've ever had in the US!! Maypop is SO unique- their menu is well crafted and thought out. Highly recommend visiting Maypop for Happy Hour as the bar bites were fantastic- some notables were the sesame rolls, spicy cucumbers, and sweet potato, and at such good prices we couldn't stop ordering multiples of them. Off the regular menu the Aloo Chaat was a standout! For dinner we tried the Núoc Mam Caramel Glazed Pork Shoulder (absolute favorite, so tender it's a must order), Louisiana Black Drum (a bit too seasoned/salty), and the Crawfish Tom Kha With Scallion Malfatti Dumplings (very unique and delicious, great with a side of rice to absorb the soup). For drinks, Uncle Nearest Miso coffee old fashioned is an absolute MUST if you love coffee drinks. I am not a fan of old fashioneds but I love an espresso martini and this was a drink I will not forget. read more

I am always interested in a chefs tasting menu so we opted for the Grand Tasting, 9 courses. The chef started us with complimentary beignets which were savory and very unique tasting. Our experience was good. My favorite courses were the tuna with caviar and sausage and shrimp toast. We were also given a palate cleanser which was very good. Our waitress was extremely helpful and explained each dish when it was presented. The miso coffee old fashion is a must try read more
Maypop a cute little restaurant very low key! Dress code is pretty much a step up from casual! Food was good but very little menu options and the hostess was amazing very good energy and amazing customer service. Not too impressed with the drink selection but the sparkling rose is definitely worth trying. read more
This restaurant has a great ambiance and is also a great place for a date night. We received complimentary curry beignets, they were light and fluffy with great flavor. For starters we got the marrowed bone with crawfish etoufee. This dish was different but good. Not much of a bone marrow flavor. I feel that the bone was a great vehicle hold the crawfish etouffee. Wok egg noodle: Had a great curry flavor and the shrimp were large and plentiful. It was a very colorful dish. Pork Shoulder: Lots of flavor in this dish as well. There was a cucumber salad and grits that paired well with the pork. read more

I fully expected to be impressed, but I was blown away by the quality of the food! The service (at the bar) was good but not worthy of a full five star rating. TBH, with food this good, I'd be okay serving myself. Seriously! Every bite of every dish we sampled (and we sampled several) was sheer culinary perfection. We started with happy hour cocktails (the ginger smash) and Portuguese red, along with the curry hot wings, steam buns and pimento toast. I highly recommend every single one of them! For entrees we had the bread service, Bibb salad and blue crab dumplings. Here again, all mouthwatering masterpieces. Service aside, I can't wait to go back! Will make reservations next time and sit in the dining room, instead of the bar, in hopes of service that matches the quality of the food. read more

Tjis is the last restaurant I got to try in New Orleans before the serious Covid-19 restrictions started to come into effect. I was in the CBD that day [Sunday] for a volunteer-work thing, but was told upon arrival that I wasn't needed after all. So rather than waste my drive into the CBD, I decided to go eat. Maypop is where I ended up. I arrived at the restaurant around 2:30, so between that and Covid-19, it was probably not the typical dining experience. There were only two other tables with patrons dining in. I was seated promptly and handed a lunch menu and dim sum menu. I opted to just stick with water to drink, which was provided in a little carafe. I quickly narrow down my choice between two pasta dishes, then ask the waiter about the two and went with the one he recommended. Not too long after I ordered a little amuse-bouche was brought to me. Unfortunately I can't fully remember what the waiter said that it was, but I can say that the little ball and the cream were quite good. The green powder, combined with both the ball and the cream was good, but I found that with the cream alone it had a potent flavor that I didn't particularly care for. Then came the pasta. The sauce was good, having the same feel as alfredo but a different taste. There were a lot of little textural pieces throughout the dish, so it wasn't just soft pasta, which was nice. When my meal was complete and I was getting ready to pay the check, the waiter asked if I was from New Orleans. When I confirmed that I was, he said he just wanted to make sure I what was aware of the Covid-19 situation and restrictions in New Orleans. I appreciated the fact that they were trying to look out for tourists and anyone else that might not have been in the know in that regard. Overall the food was good and the service was great. I would like to try them again in a more normal dining situation after Covid-19 has run its course. read more

I reserved a table for my birthday about 8 months ago, the place was not busy for a Friday night at 7 pm. We got 2 carafes of water but once we all filled our glasses, they never refilled water. Several of us ordered alcoholic drinks that were overly sweet. When dinner came out 3 of us had to ask for steak knives to cut through our $40 short rib (isn't short rib supposed to be so tender it falls off a bone?!) it was inedible and two of us asked for it to be removed from the bill. when we told the young make server that our food was terrible he said nothing and a manager never cane to check on us. Also no one checked on us our entire meal! 3 different servers brought out our dinner for 8 people and my friend had to ask for diet coke refills ( by the way they charged $3 per diet coke and the glass is about 6 oz with ice in it). Hands down the worst meal I've ever had for my birthday and worst meal in New Orleans. The Food was terrible, the service could not get worse...my friends that ordered the shrimp pasta did not complain but the Pork Belly was overly sweet and covered in hoisin sauce (3 people ordered that) The "crab" boulettes appetizer was so fishy and stunk it almost made me nauseous...was it old crab or rotten? was it even crab? I'm still pissed that no manager ever checked on us - she filled our water glasses as we all signed our checks...thanks...like hello we were leaving. The auto-gratuity our group for being large which is acceptable but however even when removing the $40 inedible "short rib" (I swear it was stewed meat) the gratuity did not decrease with the receipt price. my friend got charged $9 gratuity for an alcoholic cocktail with no food entree on her bill?! read more

Tasty food, polite staff, great service! My colleagues and I went here for lunch while at a conference. It was a really great decision. I ended up ordering the Cornmeal garganelli pasta in coconut milk and alfredo sauce. It was packed with bold flavors, while not being too heavy, and the portion was just right (although I could have eaten another plate). They also surprise you with a free curry beignet with a coconut milk and wasabi frosting/foam? It was so good too. read more
After meeting Chef Gulotta at a Dinner Lab what feels like a million years ago and loving his food, I was downtown for lunch and decided to finally try Maypop. It was after 1:30pm midweek so pretty much dead downtown but I was treated like a queen from the moment I stepped inside. My server Lindsay helped me pick out a lovely wine and then suggested the garganelli with coconut milk Alfredo and tomato curry served with lemongrass sausage for my entree. Crabmeat is additional, but of course, I added it. I also decided to do the bread service, which is annato sesame rolls with coconut butter and shellfish jam. The food came out briskly but also, was timed perfectly. To my surprise, an amuse bouche fritter began the meal with a punch of flavor and the rolls and HOMEMADE pasta proceeded. The portions were robust, the flavors were dynamite (I mean lemongrass sausage?! Homemade pasta?!), and the service was excellent. I would definitely come back to try the dim sum brunch the next time I'm in town! read more

Came here with a few friends because we wanted to try a Southern-Asian fusion restaurant. We had a reservation at 5:45pm so no need to wait. Service: Our waiter was very nice and comes to check on us occasionally. Drinks: I don't drink so I went with a mocktail which was the passion fruit ($7.00). Starters: First we were given a complimentary starter which was a Thai curry beignet. It was a very small doughy beignet that was very light and the curry sauce gave an interesting flavor that I enjoyed. The second starter was the crispy fried oysters ($19.00). The fried oysters was really good overall! It comes with 6 pieces so great to share with a group of 2 or 3. The oysters battered with a certain black sauce underneath just worked perfectly together. The third starter was the Bread Service ($8.00). This was4 pieces of anatto sesame rolls with coconut butter and shellfish pepper jam. This was probably the best homemade bread that I had so far here in New Orleans. The bread came out hot and warm and every bite was super fluffy. I notice they put butter right in the middle of the 4 bread pieces. Entree: we went with the blue crab Lamian ($27.00). The crab was very fresh, but the noodle felt like it was breaking apart too quickly that made it hard even with forks. I feel like the noodle did get soggy from waiting too long since we had a lot of starters. But overall it is a great dish to share with friends. The whole roasted bone marrow ($24.00) was probably the best dish out of everything I had here. It came with 2 roti canal. The bone marrow had a lot of meat on the bone! It was so good compare to other places. The roti canal went well with the mango peach sauce that was next to the bone marrow that gave it a tangy and citrus taste. Complimentary dessert: they gave us these small espresso chocolate like dessert that had this caramel like texture with that chewy feeling but it's espresso. It was so good! Overall: great Asian Fusion restaurant! I do recommend to try out if your in New Orleans. read more

I had high expectations for this restaurant as it is always packed and busy whenever we passed. Started with the bread service and the bread was delightful. Very soft, warm, and was quite flavorful on its own. I had to stop myself from eating all the bread and filling up before our entrees arrived. We were given two cornbread type croquettes which was a nice touch. I am not a big fan of corn bread so I didn't really enjoy this. Next up was the Roasted Bone Marrow with roti. We've never had bone marrow before and it was a delicacy that was very yummy to eat with the fluffy roti. My boyfriend got the Blue Crab Dumplings and he said they were good but the dumpling wrappers tasted like they were microwaved. They were not very memorable. I got the South Lousiana Hot Pot. I'm not sure why I expected a full-on hot pot set up like in Chinese restaurants so I was thrown off when a bowl was brought out. However, the broth was very flavorful (I love ham hock) and the shrimp was cooked perfectly (still had the bounce upon biting). I loved the addition of the Thai basil to the dish which I felt tied the whole dish together. Overall, a decent restaurant choice however I don't feel that the food was mind-blowing. read more
