By chance found this incredible new restaurant Maypop—a Thai/Vietnamese/Louisiana fusion place that was absolutely amazing. Flavors were uniquely mixed and textures were perfection. Don’t walk but run to this place before others discover it! Wow! 😍😍😍 Dessert, sweet potato, pork and chicken wings were outstanding

Amazing experience!! The ambiance was very nice, the staff was very accommodating and went the extra mile by bringing our vegetarian plates for my girlfriend on the house since most of their menu was meat based. The cocktail Pika Pika was a good spicy tequila and passion fruit blend but their wine menu was quite expansive too. The blend of fusion cuisine was very creative: - Spaghetti with blue shell crab in tomato broth - Tom Yum Thai Lemongrass soup with mushrooms and Gnocchi Both were very flavorful and packed with seasoning. 10/10 must visit!

Amazing southern fusion in a beautiful setting with a cool vibe. Everything on the menu is a winner and the cocktails are great too. We started off with the fried oysters; there’s a bit of Asian fusion to the style and presentation, and the oysters were perfect, not greasy and the right amount of batter. The ribeye was amazing, just enough fat and sear. I’ll admit that this wasn’t the healthiest of meals, but definitely worth it and will be back for the rest of the menu. Seems like a great place for a group or date night, and the bar always has a few seats just in case you didn’t make reservations.

I’m originally from Boston and this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Brittany was very kind, personable, and attentive. The black drum fish is easily the best fish dish I ever had. So flavorful, little spicy, and the sweet potato purée greatly complimented the fish. The dish was filled with so much flavor but it still felt light at the end. I was full but not bloated and didn’t felt gross. The chef and the wait staff are top tier. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.

This was such an amazing experience. Food was incredible delicious. Every bite is a new exploration. All flavors were so complicated and yet worked together so well. Highly recommend the caramel glazed pork shoulder with the coconut jasmine rice(I don’t know what they did to the coconut jasmine rice, it was so simple but mind blowing good!!) Desserts were amazing, we got cream brûlées and friend custard. Both are heavenly good. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for the great experience!

Edited to add....still one of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans. Coolinary 2023 menu is TERRIFIC. My absolute favorite time is when I go to a restaurant and can say with absolute certainty that I could never replicate a meal. Maypop is this place. EVERY. TIME. Phenomenal experience. Fantastic service, not too buttoned up, every plate screaming with flavor. I try to go back regularly because the menu changes often. I look forward to the return of dim sum and I'm just grateful they survived covid.
