I’ve gotten the braised chicken congee both times I’ve been here - consistently delicious! Good mixture of flavors, easy on the stomach and good for digestion. Def recommend! The banh mi was ok. i didn’t expect it to blow me out of the water because the name of the restaurant is “Maya Congee” 🙂‍↔️

I recently tried the congee here and it was fantastic! 🍲 I’m familiar with congee from Chinatown, so I knew what to expect, and this did not disappoint. It was so yummy and filling, with the pork floss, carrots, and mushrooms combining perfectly for a flavorful, comforting bowl. 😋✨ We also got the chicken banh mi, which was amazing! 🥖 The carrots had a flavorful sauce, and there was fresh cilantro—plus a nice spicy kick! 🌶️ My nose got a bit runny because I really can’t handle spice, but it was so worth it 🤣🔥. The wait time was about 25 minutes, which felt reasonable given how fresh and well-prepared everything was. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. This place is definitely worth a visit if you’re craving a hearty, satisfying meal! 🌟

Very pleasant and intimate space. The congee has a unique approach with different ingredients from traditional congee. The food sneaks up on you on how filling it gets. A great rainy day experience especially since there are some local Asian delights for sale too

We had the classic comfort, golden energy, and morning brioche no1. I was hoping the congees took congee to the next level but while eating it, I found myself wishing I was eating more traditional congee instead. The morning brioche no1 bun was ok

We were very disappointed by the food here. Feels like one of those places that charges you a fortune to serve “elevated” takes on Chinese staples that veer way too far from the originals. The congee looked nice but was borderline cold with very odd flavors. Quinoa should not be in congee. The century egg was sliced in half and hard boiled which I’ve never seen before. The scallion pancakes were doughy, undercooked, and served with sweet and sour sauce which was a puzzling choice. If you want an unconventional take on congee then maybe you’ll enjoy this. But I personally do not see the appeal. You can get better congee at any number of hole in the wall places in Chinatown for a fraction of the price.
