I next just got a regular lychee martini, which was much less sweet & a perfect drink #2 - we started with the pork dumplings which had such a complex sauce. it looked like a basic chili oil but there was a tangy vinegar and a sweet aftertaste that balanced out the numbing spice. the dough was so chewy & thick, I loved. - the cold eggplant was very garlic forward & naturally ofc coated in spice. it's a large serving of the same vegetable but we ate every piece - we split the tofu & fish entree. this was insane, the same base and consistency as mapo tofu. incredibly rich and flavorful with light large chunks of silken tofu & battered fried soft fish. the fish absorbed so much of the sauce, which honestly I was eating by the spoonful.

Imagine wandering through Park Slope on a Friday early evening and discovering a French-Chinese…read morerestaurant. Well that's what happened to me and I'm glad it did. I've never had this kind of cuisine before and I wanted to give it a try. Immediately when I walked in, I was greeted by soft jazz music in the background and a low light calm ambiance. I went around 5:45/6 and I was the only customer there. It was nice having the place all to myself. The decor gives "soft life" and "unwind after work with a nice meal" and they both met my mood for the evening. The wait staff was extremely kind and patient and very helpful with discussing the menu. I started my meal with the Crystal Peach Oolong and the Sweet and Sour Ribs. The cocktail was sweet like I like and the alcohol was not overbearing. There was a nice balance. You can definitely taste the peach and the Oolong. Very well crafted drink. The ribs were delightful. Tender and falling off the bone. The sauce was absolutely immaculate. I was pleasantly blown away by this dish. For dinner, I ordered the lamb chops and the seafood fried rice. The lamb chops came with Chinese eggplant and the eggplant was very savory. Very soft and well seasoned. It was topped with a sauce that complimented it very well. The lamb chops were chef's kiss. Cooked to perfection and tender. It was topped with a honey mustard sauce that was divine. The meat was cooked medium well and seasoned like my mother worked in the kitchen. You can tell this food is made with love and care. The seafood fried rice was delicious as well. It was a nice side to compliment the lamb chops in addition to the eggplant. It was savory and delicious. I also tried the Jasmine French Martini and the Osmanthus Blossom cocktail. Both drinks were up my alley. My waiter suggested these as I prefer drinks on the sweeter side. Great suggestions. One thing I appreciate about this restaurant is the balance of alcohol and drink flavor. They shine equally and make the drinks smooth and not harsh. Both drinks were very fruity and refreshing. I ended the night trying a soup dumpling. My waiter recommend these black truffle pork dumplings and I have to say: he knows his stuff. If you love truffle, you will truly enjoy this dumpling. First, the broth is just dreamy. You taste nothing but flavor through the whole experience. And the pork? I'm glad you asked. It was delicious. The whole dumpling was just truly divine. I couldn't get enough. I too would recommend trying this soup dumpling after what I had the pleasure of enjoying. When I stumbled into this place, I didn't know what to expect. Safe to say, I was overjoyed with my experience. I was well taken care of and the vibe, food, and drinks have me looking forward to my next visit!

My first Chinese French fusion restaurant was a good one. It was so interesting how the French…read moreflair was present in many of the Chinese dishes. For example, the Peking duck bao was made of confit duck leg instead of Chinese-style roasted duck. Not all the dishes were like that though. The pork truffle soup dumplings were my favorite and it was soo juicy and mushroom-y. I don't tend to like truffle because of the gasoline-like taste, but this didn't have it. I wanted to order the lobster bisque udon but they didn't have lobster in the kitchen so they recommended seafood bisque udon instead which used a lobster bisque base but the toppings are of other types of seafood sans lobster. The soup was good but the udon didn't match the soup. My husband's Fleur cheeseburger was decent but the fries stole the show. My husband really enjoyed the fries seasoning which was made with a house blend of Shao kao (bbq) powder. The interior of this place is so spiffy, it would make the perfect date night spot.

Taylor's Tayke: Cafe Chili offers a fun introduction to Thai…read moreflavors through both its afternoon tea experience and its full dinner menu. What stood out most was the variety. 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

TBH I wasn't sure why as the reviews weren't great but I went along & we gave it a try anyways. We had the chicken satay & the pad thai- I got the one with chicken.

Our group of 4 started with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a few appetizers to share, namely: Som tum papaya salad and dumplings curry. For the main entree, my eyes caught the attention of clay pot mix-fried rice with shrimp, chicken, sweet sausage, and my partner chose shrimp pad thai. Nothing really stood out with the dishes; I found it to be a bit Americanized, having eaten in so many Thai restaurants around New York City. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here; our food came in timely fashion, and the customer service is good as well, but it's probably not your place if you are seeking a more authentic Thai-style cooking.

During the last several years, it just hasn't been consistent. Yes indoor atmosphere is very appealing, but the execution of the food lately has left me disappointed including a recent delivery.. A simple order of Pad Thai and Chicken with Pineapple should have resulted in an above average, if not excellent, dinner. However, it didn't even go beyond 2 stars. The Pad Thai, which is a signature Thai dish, was dark brown and oily. The Chicken with Pineapple was salty and the chicken pieces were overcooked. It's been like this in the last few years. Sometimes great and other times, very disappointing. I can't seem to nail an excellent Thai spot in the Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill/Park Slope vicinity, but I'll keep looking.

Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.
