Incredible gem in the heart of Bedstuy. I had heard of this congee spot and as a congee lover I had to check it out. Upon walking in there are popular Asian grocery items available on the shelves, including noodles, spices and snacks. I went with the classic Chicken congee and also a green milk tea boba as they ran out of taro. Normally I would mark down for not having an item available but the Chicken congee smacked so much it felt wrong to give this spot less than 5 stars. The boba was great, she asked me how sweet I wanted it which I appreciated. They have oat milk available for $1 additional. The Chicken congee was filling, delicious and hearty and it was a great portion. I had to-go my...
Not the best Vietnamese coffee but it is tasty (who doesn 't love condensed milk). It 's more sweet than that well balanced strong flavored concoction I 'm used to. The coffee is kept hot so fyi when getting iced coffee to shake well so the ice doesn 't water it down.Got a whitefish banh mi for take out. Once I finally made it home exhausted from my walk I ravenously ate one half of the decent sized sammie. But all the while I was thinking, this is a delicious smoked fish but I do wish it had something. Hmm was there supposed to be heat in this sando? Lo and behold there was a spicy indicator on the menu and it was spelled out but maybe forgotten. I definitely didn 't taste any mayo, for tha...
Okay I ordered for delivery years ago when they first opened and I can't remember my initial thought, but decided to come here recently since it was nearby.Got the following:Pork Banh Mi okay this tasted more like a veggie banh mi and even though it wasn't veggie, it just tasted like a healthy sandwich rather than a traditional banh mi.Pork Congee I wasn't into because they have big chunks of ginger and this is coming from a person who LOOOOOOOVES ginger. It would have been better to have it finely grated, rather than chomping on a big chunk of ginger. Hard to chew and just wasn't good pairing.I actually like the breakfast congee that had cheese and egg with the pork. This had a better flavo...
There's a certain weariness that often comes with oatmeal, but visiting Maya Congee revitalizes that experience with their exceptional selection of porridge. The menu features a delightful array of options, including soft egg, kimchi, broccoli salad, stewed pork, and espresso drinks. Each breakfast order is filled with unique flavors, even if these dishes aren’t usually part of your morning routine. I can't recommend this place highly enough for those days when you crave strength and stability before tackling your daily tasks.

I don't usually write reviews, but I've noticed that the food quality at the Gates Ave location has been highly inconsistent over the past few months. There are days when the congee is cooked perfectly, with just the right flavor and texture, but more often than not, it's watery and bland (I even took a COVID test to make sure!). Ordering from here feels like a gamble—sometimes you get great food, other times you don’t get good service. This place has the potential to be amazing, so I really hope things improve soon.
This is a fantastic spot to pick up hot congee and drinks for a picnic in Herbert von King Park. They also offer an excellent variety of cooking supplies, ramen, spices, tea, and Chinese sauces. The boba tea is a definite highlight! You can choose from both hot and cold drinks, as well as rice bowls, including breakfast options. They have choices for vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers alike.
A very satisfying vegetarian breakfast. Staff were kind, food came out quickly, and the congee was delicious. It had just the right amount of flavor for a first meal of the day. It was the comfort that you want from a bowl of congee. Happy to have this in the neighborhood.
Fantastic congee and banh mi, along with an excellent selection of quality Australian chai! They also kindly stored my water bottle for two weeks after I accidentally left it there, and I was so pleased to find it when I returned yesterday. What a thoughtful gesture!
