    I was excited to try a Vietnamese fusion tasting menu since I love Southeast Asian cuisine and fine dining, but this meal was ultimately very disappointing. Food did not meet the mark, and the service was also very poor.

    very fun experience in an intimate space. the overall word I would use for the food is "interesting". there were a lot of combinations I didn't anticipate and appreciated the new flavours, but couldn't decide if it made it better. for example one of the dessert courses had slices of cheese in it. the chair situation was a bit uncomfortable since there was no where to put our jackets, and it was a high chair.

    Came here after finding it on Yelp and what an experience! Definitely pricey, but was such a unique experience that I'd recommend to all. Feels like it's still newer and not fully discovered by everyone yet - so come before they get their Michelin star! Thanks Chef Brandon and Jonathan for a great night. Good: - We got a super small intimate group eating session - the chef came out to introduce each dish, and Jonathan came out a lot and made us feel super welcomed. He'd check in for every dish and even showed us the kitchen at the end and gave us extra dessert wine! - Each dish was beautiful - and super unique flavor combos - it felt like our mouths were just questioning what we were seeing and tasting with each dish. Some of my favorites were the duck and the pasta dish that we had. - Each dish comes with a fancy wine pairing and you get unlimited refills. - Loved how we did the speakeasy experience and got texted a secret location before we showed up. Just felt like an overall secret and edgey experience that not everyone knows about. Bad: - A long experience! Which isn't bad but if you're crunched for time - this place starts and ends 3 hours apart. Also you can be hungry in between the dishes. - Sometimes the portions can be small, but when you add all the food together, it's a lot and you'll definitely be full by the end This place is awesome! It takes place in a small refurbished apartment and feels like such a unique intimate experience and definitely worth checking out.

    A solid 4.5 stars! I came to Maison Sun for dinner tonight. I'd heard about them a while back when i think they were still in an apartment so when I heard they opened a brick and mortar store I had to give them a try. Overall, it was a good experience. The space is very intimate, chef's counter style. I dined with one other party of three and i think the space holds a max of 10 or so. The host, Carlos, was a very gracious host. On to the food, it was pretty good! To start we had some light bites. They were OK, wasn't really a fan of the Foie Gras one, the others were pretty decent. I specifically liked the one that tasted like a chicken stuffed with something and the crudo. Moving on to the other courses, I actually surprisingly liked the asparagus soup, which I didn't think I would because it was cold soup but it ended up being pretty good. The tuna tartar was great as well. However, the star of the show was definitely the duck risotto. It was the best risotto I've ever had and my favorite dish of the night. I wasn't really a fan of the main fish dish. It was pretty bland. Just simple fish with cherry tomatoes, sliced grapes, and some type of leafy green. I was expecting a bit more from this dish. The final savory course of the night was the lamb, which was also really good! The lamb was soft, and the potatoes were tasty. On to dessert, I loved the palate cleanser, which was some type of rhubarb and honey fennel sorbet. Surprisingly, the honey fennel ended up being my favorite half. The main dessert was also decent. I just remember it being another type of ice cream, and it had a lot of components like mochi bites, sorbet, and a chocolate disc. It's possible that you may also get an almond macaroon with your meal. It was mentioned at the start of dinner, but I never received one, so it may just be for special occasions, it's unclear. My only critique/suggestion why I docked half a star is I wish there was a wine by the glass menu because (i) it would make it easier to pick a glass of wine rather than having to try several (ii) it would also make pricing more transparent as while I ended up finding one wine that was decent not necessarily sure I would have wanted to pay the $42 a glass for it. And yes, I could have asked but who wants to ask the price of 5 different glasses of wine in a nice restaurant? It's just better if the price is posted up front so you can decide. Also, I'm sure this was meant as a nice gesture to make the checkout process easier but it's always good to give someone a heads up before you run their card and in this case that wasn't done. Not a big deal but sometimes people use business cards for meals and some, like mine, may have restrictions on alcohol so always good to ask. Finally, did feel a bit rushed out the door towards the end. Didn't get to say goodbye to the chef or the other dining party. To give them the benefit of the doubt, this could have been due to the rain or because they needed to open the door, which they'd locked but not a good feeling after a 2 hour meal. Overall, I had a great meal at Maison Sun and would generally recommend it!

    Interesting experience - Maison sun took over the old space for chef's table at brooklyn fare and the interior has quite an industrial feel. It was a unique space but perhaps not the most impressive entrance right off a busy street. The night we went was pretty empty which I found surprising for this high end of a restaurant. The reservation is prepaid ($375/person) and includes a 12 course tasting menu and a wine pairing. The tasting menu had some highlights but also some dishes that were trying too hard to be interesting and missed the mark. Highlights included the "bread service" which included a pastry puff and uni and the cod and kimchi bouillabaisse. We were also intrigued by their offer of a "big mac" which came at a hefty $250/person supplement. After hearing that this dish featured the best wagyu in the city we were excited to try it. Unfortunately, when it came out we weren't even informed that we were eating the "big mac" - I guess we were under the impression that for that price, we would get an additional dish, not have one substituted out. When the wagyu dish came out we assumed that this was the original one featured on the menu and our "big mac" was on the way after. As a result, we didn't even finish it, thinking we wanted to save space! Seems like a pretty big mistake that this was not made more clear. I was also kind of disappointed because the website seasonal menu features an opera cake at the very end which we weren't even served (they stopped with the coconut mousse). I'm not sure if they ran out and didn't inform us, but for the price we paid I would expect better. On the other hand, the service was excellent and I enjoyed the wine pairing. They did a wonderful job keeping our glasses full. Overall, an interesting experience but not worth the price tag. ***Edit after restaurant's response: Please enjoy the strangest response I've ever received to a Yelp review. There are better ways to respond to a 3/5 rating than a personal attack on the diners. He did point out that I misrecollected the base price, so I've updated that now - the tasting menu is $375, not $450. The total, with add ons for 2 people, was $1,387. The restaurant owner's response indicated that he thought my less than glowing review was due to the cost, so let me correct that assumption: the price is not the issue with Maison Sun, though I see how that thought might have been comforting.

    I had the pleasure of dining at Maison Sun with a good friend a month or so ago. We enjoyed the tasting menu and had fun adding a few supplements. The ingredients felt strong but the dishes themselves a bit unimaginative. I'm a fan of fine dining and have enjoyed many similar tasting menus both in New York and the Bay Area, and while Maison Sun executed fairly there was nothing particularly special to report on. This is not the worst thing - sometimes one simply wants a solid meal. But if you're seeking something exceptional I would say there may be better establishments in New York to try your luck at. I did enjoy the wine pairing, and the seafood seemed exceptionally high quality. I did want to add: I held off on sharing my review after seeing some of the owner's responses to previous unfavorable reviews. He responded quite harshly - I have never witnessed a fine dining restaurant professional who responded to criticism in such a fashion. Luckily it seems like he's gone back to edit or remove most of those, so I feel more comfortable posting now. Thank you for reading!

    Maison Sun is now open in Brooklyn in the original Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare space on Schermerhorn Street. Seating a maximum of 16 around the chef's counter, the nine-course, wine-paired dinners are an amazing experience. These are as good as any two or three Michelin Star experiences we have ever had. While not inexpensive, the food, wine and service are as good as it gets. Make a reservation now before it becomes impossible to get one!

    The mission of Maison Sun is providing a true, speakeasy fine-dining experience. They offer French and Asian inspired tasting menus prepared by different guest chefs every week. We were there for Mystery Chefs "J&J", 8 courses with wine pairing for $325 and it was an amazingly satisfying night. The service was great and the host & staff were friendly and welcoming. They were so considerate to customize my own dish and beverage pairing since I am pregnant and can't have raw ingredients or alcohol. We can tell how much work the chefs put into each dish and how much they love to show their passion about food. The elements of each dish were diversely inspired by Indian, Malaysian, Japanese and Taiwanese...etc. it made the entire dining experience feel like a trip of taste bud around East Asia. Our favorite dishes were the Crudo, Smoked Unagi Butter for Bread, Taiwanese Beef Noodles and Fried Soft Shell Crab with Malaysian Curry. My customized Crudo was the smoked unagi and the fish was well grilled and the sauce was appetizing. The butter was so creamy and definitely was a great addition to the bread. We are Taiwanese, so we're excited to see the fine dining version of Taiwanese Beef Noodle. The broth was thick and flavorful. My husband's top of that night was the Soft Shell Crab with Malaysian Curry. The soft crab was fried perfectly and perfect with spiced Curry. People might have concern with the uncertainty of chefs and menu, but it was a pleasant and lovely dining experience with lots of surprise for us.

    NY speakeasy-dining at its absolute finest. An intimate setting hosting just around 10 guests, delighting participants with a sensational 8-course tasting menu and wine pairing that changes weekly. There is haute cuisine, and then there was our menu. Absolutely divine!!   5-star service begins as you step off the elevator. Our host greeted us by name and introduced himself before leading us to the dimly-lit dining room where we sat comfortably awaiting our fellow diners to arrive. Note that meal service doesn't begin until all diners are seated.   Once everyone was seated, the maître d' introduced us to the evening's program and celebrity chefs. Our menu included locally sourced seafood and vegetables, such a fresh razor clams with burnt onion, caramelized celery root, king crab, and a nixtamalized winter squash, to name a few, cooked with exotic ingredients such as charcoals from Indonesia which added a unplaceable hint of flavor to our wagyu. Chefs came out to explain each course, as did the maître d' for each wine introduction.   Overall, this was an incredibly special evening, one of the most memorable culinary experiences I've had in New York. I highly recommend for couples and especially groups.

    The reason I love this city is that I got to explore the experience like this. It's a speakEasy concept so you don't get to know the location the day of. The location I went is definitely very iconic NYC. The whole experience is sensational with 8 courses seasonal tasting menu with wine pairing, some very unique wine that's hard to find. Their white glove service was top notch from the moment you arrive. There was only 10 people total at my dining experience, set up is intimate with light music playing in the background. They also play with the lights so you get to experience from visual to taste. We got to taste the winter menu with features a lot or seafood including razor clams, caviar, king crab. The menu is not too heavy on meat, the chef uses a lot of vegetables with twist, the maitake mushroom was a bomb, and the winter squash I didn't know it could taste so good. The wagyu beef comes from Texas, dry aged in house, perfectly cooked melting in your mouth. They use a lot of ingredients that's very special, such as charcoals from Indonesia that gives the grill some unique flavor. There are different wine paring throughout the whole meal. Each hand picked my owner and each compliment the dish very well. I love that the owner would come over and explain the wine to us and where is it from and how the taste go well with the food. If you are looking for a special night out, definitely check this out.

    My dinner at Maison Sun was definitely an intimate, unique and personalized experience. The second we arrived, we were in awe of the picturesque view of this beautiful city. There was not a bad seat in the house, but we chose to sit facing the two bridges to show Brooklyn some love too. It was truly amazing to watch the city slowly light up as the sun set. The meal that was prepared for us was even more beautiful than the perfect view. The ingredients used to compose each dish are carefully hand picked at the local farmers market. Chef Brendan puts thought into using produce that is in the peak of season and prepares them in a form to make them shine. He uses intricate techniques that only a talented, experienced chef would have the ability to execute. As each course is served, he explains the source and inspiration of the dish, which gives me a reason to appreciate it even more. Carlos thoughtfully picked out wines to pair for each dish throughout the meal. He was very knowledgeable with the bottles that were being poured and explained the story behind each one. There was also no hesitation with keeping your glass full. All of our dishes were meaningful and unique in its own way. We started off with an uni panna cotta with apple gelee and of course, a generous serving of caviar. That was paired with the champagne and it was the perfect start to this beautiful meal. The A5 wagyu and toro dish was so rich, flavorful and worked so perfectly together to create a taste that melted in your mouth. The skin on the cod was unbelievably crispy, the fish was cooked perfectly and the Japanese curry complimented the fish very nicely. The scallop and foie gras dish was extremely well balanced, which was served with a velvety kimchi beurre blanc. After the 8 courses, we left very full. This is definitely a one of a kind experience that is not being offered anywhere else in the city. If you're able to secure a reservation and have this special opportunity, I highly encourage to dine here at least once.

    My husband and I went to Maison Sun for dinner last Saturday. It is such a unique and memorable experience 8 course + unlimited wine pairing for $300. Not a bad deal given the quality of food/wine and location of the restaurant I really enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant: modern, chill, exclusive. It feels like private dining in friend's soho loft. All courses are delicious. My favorite courses are fish salad & lobster with cream.

I also tried the Jade Matcha (pandan flavor) which was excellent -- the pandan flavor reeeally came through. Seating is pretty limited but turnover is quick.

    Stepping into Larry's Ca Phe was a slightly unsettling experience for me. For as long as I could…read moreremember, this location was home to Naidre's Cafe where I enjoyed many (many) cups of coffee, lattes and breakfast burritos as I listened to locals chatting about their lives over drinks and breakfast. I absolutely loved Naidre's and when it closed in 2025 I was heartbroken. Larry's Ca Phe is named after Larry Hilton, a Math teacher who adopted two children from Vietnam. Tuan Nguyen, his first adopted son opened this cafe in his father's honor and I think that is a lovely story behind a cafe succeeding Naidre's. Nguyen has completely reworked much of this space. Whereas Naidre's had a slightly darker, almost sleepy atmosphere to it, Larry's is bright with the color white dominating backed up by yellow. Beautiful new lighting gives the place a bright and warm feeling and the seating area has been opened up more (and I'm pretty sure the walls and floor were redone a bit). Overall the space has been modernized and looks very nice. While the focus of this cafe is on some very unique drinks (including egg coffee) they also have food, so there is much for me to try in the future. However, I like to work with a baseline when evaluating a new place so I ordered my standard Dirty Chai with Oatmilk (hot). The Chai was...okay. Normally I want some more spice kick and a bit of heat in my Chai but this was very mild. I also did not get a particularly strong flavor from the Espresso shot, which surprised me. The drink was good, but definitely not the best I've ever had. Much of my rating here is for the decor, good service and backstory. I believe Larry's has many more options to offer and I do plan to revisit it one day to try their stews and a different drink.
