    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.

    Chicken Congee

    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.

    Pork Banh Mi Sandwich and Chicken Congee Bowl

    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!

The inside is sleek, cozy, and medium lighting. Service (5/5): No issues with service since the restaurant was still fairly empty. Waitress was patient when we asked a slew of questions and her suggestions. Happy hour drinks were priced at $6 from 5:30p-7p with some tapas also at $5-7. Chicken dumpling (3/5) Red version: It was unique to find kernels of corn in the dumpling! I enjoyed the vinegar/soy sauce and chili oil. Next time, I would have liked to try the brown. Overall, there wasn't anything special about the steamed dumplings. Iron Men (3/5): I was disappointed since reviewers said that the broth would be very rich but it did not have much flavor to me even after using their house chili sauce (+$2). I definitely tasted the Iberian pork undertones but overall, I thought it was watery and didn't have much flavor without the chili. The poached egg was perfect. The rosemary oil was very subtle (cool presentation as it was provided in a dropper!) The noodles were perfect--chewy and bouncy. I thought the 2 slices of pork were thin but tender, also more lean and not fatty (not as ideal so did not melt in your mouth). Expensive for a bowl with little meat ($23). I did not use the miso paste as I did not love the aftertaste, which admittedly could be why the broth lacked flavor to me! Nagoya Miso Katsu-Don (N/A): I tried a little of the dish. I thought the pork was very crunchy and had a great taste. Boyfriend said the dish was nothing special.

    Amazing experience and food!…read more Thai iced coffee: So delicious and strong! It has a certain grittiness to it which I loved! Drunken noodles: so flavorful! The noodles were thick and silky, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. We added their house chili sauces to it and it became even better! Thai bread with chicken curry: the bread was one of the flakiest roti canai/thousand layer breads I have ever had! The chicken curry had a coconut based and a rich peanut taste - two flavors which my husband and I love! It was a chance find, and I am so glad we did because we loved our meal here!

From savory bites and traditional Thai dishes to tea service and desserts, there was plenty to explore throughout the visit. The afternoon tea service in particular offered a unique way to experience the menu beyond a traditional meal. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Fish in the Boat One of the most memorable dishes from the visit. Fresh salmon paired with bright flavors and a subtle kick of spice. It almost gave salmon salad vibes while still feeling distinctly Thai. Egg Tart Soft, creamy, and incredibly smooth. The texture was outstanding and easily one of the strongest items from the afternoon tea selection. Crying Tiger Skewer Tender, juicy, flavorful, and everything you'd want from grilled beef. Simple execution done extremely well. Hot Chai Tea Excellent on its own, but the addition of cinnamon elevated it even further by adding warmth and complexity to every sip. Shrimp Bite Loved the texture here. Fresh shrimp with a bright lime flavor and none of the chewiness that can sometimes hold shrimp dishes back. Duck Salad Fresh, juicy, and tender with great balance throughout. Macaron with Grape The grape added a fruity sweetness that complemented the macaron nicely without overpowering it. Pork Pastry Flaky, savory, and satisfying. Dumpling Solid texture and flavor throughout. Curry Puff Enjoyable curry flavor but could have used a little more punch. Thai Wings Well executed with good flavor throughout. Rice Ball Sweet, sticky, and compact. A nice contrast to some of the savory items. Chicken & Shrimp Fried Dumplings Enjoyable but didn't stand out as much as some of the stronger offerings. The Experience: The afternoon tea service was a pleasant surprise and offered a creative way to sample multiple flavors in one sitting. Pairing that with the dinner menu gave a well-rounded look at what Cafe Chili has to offer. Best For: Afternoon tea, casual lunches, catching up with friends, introducing someone to Thai cuisine, or exploring a variety of flavors in one visit. In Conclusion: Cafe Chili shines when it leans into dishes that balance freshness, texture, and bold flavor. The Fish in the Boat, Egg Tart, Crying Tiger Skewer, and Duck Salad were the standouts for me, while the afternoon tea experience adds a unique element you don't often find at Thai restaurants. If you're looking for variety and a mix of savory and sweet offerings, Cafe Chili is worth a visit. Stamped by Elajas

Maison Sun is an intimate dining space where guests are seated around a stainless-steel counter with an open-kitchen concept. They offer a Vietnamese fusion tasting menu for $185. I appreciate the growing recognition of Vietnamese cuisine and its elevation into the fine dining space. Unfortunately, this meal didn't quite hit the mark for me. Many of the flavor combinations felt disjointed and often clashed rather than complemented one another. Shrimp Mochi: It was good. Duck Egg Custard with Caviar: Delicious! It was creamy and well-balanced. Bread with Sea Urchin Butter: The butter was unique and tasted amazing. I could probably eat a whole stick of it. Foie Gras Katsu with Passion Fruit Candy: The foie gras itself was great, but the passion fruit candy felt awkward and out of place. NZ Hiramasa with Wood Ear Mushrooms: The wood ear mushrooms overpowered the fish, which was unfortunate because the hiramasa itself was quite good. I loved the lemongrass sauce. The lemongrass flavor was very subtle. Dry-Aged Moulard Duck with Black Rice and Makrut Leaf Curry: This was the standout dish of the night. The duck was deeply flavorful, and the curry paired beautifully with it. Tiger Prawn Phở: Very mushroom-forward in flavor. It was decent, but not particularly memorable. Secret Flavour Ice Cream: Fish sauce ice cream sounds unusual, but it was unique and surprisingly good. Opal Basil and Chrysanthemum Tea Infusion Sorbet: Refreshing and light--a nice way to end the meal. There's clear creativity and intention behind the menu, but the dishes lacked the harmony needed to make the experience truly memorable.
