    I recently tries Maya's (and congee!) for the first time. I ordered it for delivery. I had the braised chicken congee bowl. It was warm, filling, and flavorful. The perfect texture, soft and similar to rice pudding but creamier. This is definitely something that I can see being great when sick, it's cold out, or craving comfort food. I'll definitely order again.

    super cute little place, seating is outside mainly as it's small, lots of asian supermarket staples, and the congee was good

    I have mixed feelings about the Braised Chicken Congee here. On the one hand, the flavor was good and authentic (traditional congee) tasting. It was also quite hearty, with a generous amount of chicken. On the other hand, it was not your traditional congee. The congee was thicker than usual, and was a mixture of rice and quinoa! I didn't really mind the quinoa - it made the dish healthier - it's just not what you would expect in congee. Now that I know what to expect, I might come back here again, but not if I were craving traditional congee. The service was good and it had a good mix of Asian grocery items.

    Very kind staff that helped me figure out what to order based off my preferences. Cool outdoor seating installation but that's the only seating I saw, so something to keep in mind if you want an indoor option. The Congee was solid. Perfect warm meal for a drizzly day. I'd say my only request would be a bit more meat, and more love on the veggies, it seemed like the pork was the only part that was seasoned significantly. All the components together made for a good bite though. Black Sesame latte was also good and not too heavy on ice, something I always appreciate.
