"The restaurant at this Upper East Side museum has been closed since the start of the pandemic. It has been renamed Leo Café, with to-go offerings as well as table service, featuring a menu that pulls influence from Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand, among other countries, according to a representative for the museum. In addition to rice bowls and noodles, there is a menu of Asian sweets. The food is overseen by the catering company Great Performances, using produce from Katchkie Farm, the organic farm the company owns in upstate New York. It reopens to the public in September." - Emma Orlow

The cafe is located inside the Asia Society Museum. The Norwaz special was good and the atmosphere at the cafe was relaxing.

Food was delicious! They also display the dishes on the menu which is really helpful with ordering. 🙏 The restaurant/ cafe also has a glass ceiling so there’s a lot of sunlight. The vibe is 10/10 during lunch! 🕶️

Excellent yet affordable cafe nestled in a beautiful museum atrium, featuring Asian inspired bowls, sandwiches, and salads as well as coffee and tea!

The food and drinks are pretty good. Even though they market as a cafe, it's not a cafe. I wouldn't consider it a cafe as they don't have typical cafe food and drinks. The drink menu is lacking which is a bit of a disappointment but they do serve alcoholic beverages. The food options are very good- the tofu rice bowl was great! Service is good but on the slow side

I absolutely adore this spot for a quick and healthy lunch. It's like a smaller, Asian fusion version of a Corner Bakery, but in a quiet and more elevated - but still very relaxed - setting surrounded by art. Crowd skews older but that's a positive for me. Hidden gem.

Nice setting. Food sucks. That's all there is to say, but since a post requires 85 characters, I'll just ramble until I hit that number. Ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, nice, setting food sucks.

Perfect spot for a quick bite - this cafe is on the ground floor of the Asia Society. The service was quick and the food was decent.

Just had lunch at this newly opened cafe nestled inside the Asia Society cafe. Got the soba noodle salad, coffee, and apricot and green tea cakes -- all were excellent and affordable prices. Also loved the space, wonderful place to hangout and grab a bite
