Inside Miss Phay Cafe

Miss Phay Cafe is a spot where local and regional Asian flavors come together in a setting that balances cozy comfort with trendy design. Located on Davenport’s bustling North Brady Street, this restaurant offers a dining experience that feels thoughtfully curated — from the cheerful color palette inside to intimate details like a small fireplace that creates a relaxed, inviting vibe on chillier days.

The menu reflects a broad swath of Asian cuisines, showcasing both familiar and less common dishes. Favorites like Pho Tai Nam and Banh Mi Sandwich with beef provide that satisfying, fresh-flavor lift, while options such as the Szechuan Shishito Chili Chicken and Green Curry Noodles with Chicken offer a well-spiced, layered experience for those craving something more complex. The variation in bites, including light items like Summer Rolls or Chicken Potstickers, makes it easy to tailor a visit whether you’re after a full meal or a shared plate alongside crafted cocktails.

Many stop by for lunch during a midweek break or as a vibrant stop on weekend outings in the area — the energetic yet comfortable space makes it easy to linger or pop in for a quick, flavorful bite. Service tends to be friendly and attentive, with staff readily guiding diners through the menu, which is useful given the diverse offerings. Cocktail choices, including mocktails and specialty drinks like the Saigon Mojito and Ube Coffee, add to the lively but not overwhelming atmosphere.

This is a place where locals who appreciate fresh, thoughtfully prepared Asian cuisine can feel at ease whether catching up with friends, grabbing a casual date night dinner, or even settling in to work quietly, especially during less busy hours. The slightly higher price point reflects the quality and care invested in each dish and the overall experience, making it suitable for those who want something beyond typical fast casual options.

If you’re curious about Asian cuisines beyond the usual takeout fare and enjoy a restaurant that pairs flavor-forward dishes with an appealing, warm environment, Miss Phay Cafe fits well within Davenport’s North Brady scene as a spot worth exploring on a crisp afternoon or lively evening.

Arrived Sunday as our midpoint of our road trip to Des Moines and stopped in for a quick lunch and we absolutely loved it! The decor is just super cute. Love the colors and so cozy yet trendy and vibrant. A little fireplace with such pretty details. The place itself was worth a trip. Food was good but not spectacular. Service was good and friendly. I will definitely give it another try if we're ever there again.

This was the most well decorated Pho places I have ever been and also had amazing service! The bar was a little slow with our drink orders but it could have just been a busy night. The pho was delicious but I ordered the large noodles which were clumped/ stuck together. I will have to see next time if the smaller noodles have the same issue. The Curry Soup was amazingly seasoned and very delicious as well. The food was a little more expensive then most pho places I have been to but worth it!

What a fantastic little restaurant! The menu is extensive with dishes all over Asia. We ordered a beef Bahn Mi, which was amazing, we also ordered the Sezchuan Chili Chicken...this dish took me back to when I was in China...it was absolutely delicious and nothing compares to it. We also ordered the peanut chicken appetizer, which extremely tasteful and worth it. Our drinks were on oint as well, we had the hibiscus margarita and the Saigon Mojito, it's very difficult finding legitimate Mojitos, and this one greatly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept. Service was great despite being very busy.

Staff gives incredible recommendations if you are ever on the fence about what to order they’re very helpful! Cocktails are perfectly crafted. Haven’t had a bad dish yet! Can’t wait to go back and try brunch!

This restaurant is unique in the sense that the food is fresh, service is kind, and atmosphere is peaceful. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant! The prices are a little higher for the area, but you definitely get what you pay for. Great place to study or catch up on work, too.

The summer rolls and the tofu are always a 10/10! The decor is awesome and so is the atmosphere. Had the drunken noodles for the first time and it was pretty bland, noodles stuck together and clumpy. It also took so long to get ( not a usual thing there )

Very cute little locally owned place near Downtown! The music + decor created a nice vibe and the entire staff was very friendly making our time there very enjoyable. The Chicken Pho was amazing! We will be back again soon!
