Maison Sun | Asian Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY

Maison Sun is a Contemporary Asian restaurant located in Boerum Hill, Downtown Brooklyn.

Our cuisine is executed with French technique and refinement, inspired by the regional flavors of Asia. 

Guests are treated to an immersive view of the open kitchen, seated at a gleaming stainless steel chef’s counter.

Our wine program focuses on French and German wines.

To borrow from E.B. White's quintessential memoirs in his masterpiece of travel writing “Here is New York” of 1949, New York City restaurants can utterly destroy an individual, or be entirely fulfilling, depending a good deal on luck. According to White's initial and most gallant summation of living in New York, “on any person who desires such queer prizes, New York bestows the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy.” 

The workforce of the service industry is made up of a gallimaufry group of strangers, mostly persons born outside the city, or better, as White aptly puts it, “persons who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town, seeking sanctuary or fulfillment, or some greater or lesser grail.” The largesse to offer such dubious gifts is peculiar and mysterious. Perhaps herein lies the wonder of working in New York City.

We discover our longings are universal, our solitude is not forlorn.

We belong.

Maison Sun is the vision of Dr. Gasperi, who envisions cuisine through the lens of architecture — structured, intentional, collaborative in nature. He leads a kitchen team composed of chefs trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, bringing refined French technique to bold, regional Asian flavors. The result is the construction of a culinary experience that frames culture, imagination, and craft.

Dr. Gasperi holds a Ph.D. in German Literature and Philosophy. Before the global pandemic reshaped the world, his ambition was to pursue an academic career. Following graduation, he redirected his intellectual discipline and research acumen toward the culinary world, ultimately becoming a professional restaurateur and sommelier.

Over the next five years, he conceived and led a fine dining series — an underground culinary project featuring rotating guest chefs in secret Manhattan locations. Maison Sun finally brings these experiences together into a refined whole: a dedicated space where technical excellence, narrative intent, and cultural resonance are expressed through food and wine.
