At his pan-Asian jewel in the West Village, Cafe Asean chef-proprietor Simpson Wong maintains a delicate balance of ingredients and influences. According The New York Times, Time Out, New York Magazine , and the stream of delighted patrons, he has found the recipe for success.
Cafe Asean’s menu resembles a culinary Silk Road that offers patrons a medley of enticing routes. Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Thai recipes combine in simmering entrees and sumptuously imbue appetizers. The fresh peas, crispy shrimp, and crab meat in the Chien Dai starter—an Indonesian dumpling with sweet and sour sauce—contrast entrees such as Singaporean braised spare ribs. Clay Pot Rice—a Malaysian-style paella of chicken, mushrooms, sweet sausage, and salted cod—proves pleasurable for more adventurous tastes.
Located just around the corner from the flurry of downtown’s active byways, Cafe Asean boasts top-notch service, chic and colorful decor, and an exotic combination of cuisines. Weather permitting, the charming backyard garden enriches an already pleasurable meal.

“The service is always friendly and attentive. The green shrimp curry is some of the best I've ever had.”
“There are some traditional dishes as well as some less common sounding ones—my awesome dish had lotus root. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!”
“I am happy to say that when I go this little place I almost feel teleported to Asia ... Cafe Asean gets the flavors right and everything you order here is mighty tasty and always fresh.”
“I sat in the outside patio, which was really cute. I had both the crispy and the steamed dumplings, which were delicious. Then I had the snapper, which was perfectly prepared.”
