Mixed Feelings on Tea Salad and Curry
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. I enjoyed the tea salad. The chicken curry was okay, but it was lacking somewhat in flavor. The gyoza were underbrowned. On the positive side, the portion size was good, and the service was attentive and friendly.

Horrible Vegetarian Experience, Never Again
My experience eating vegetarian food here was horrible. We ordered tofu, paratha, bok choy, and the pad Thai. The pad Thai was unpleasantly sweet and tangy, and excessively soggy. Despite asking for more peanuts and chili flakes to improve the taste, it remained nasty. We stopped eating and requested the server to remove it from the bill, but she refused. It was a horrible experience, and I will never return. I recommend trying Burma Love or Burma Superstar instead.

Delicious Food, Friendly Service
My experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. I absolutely loved the food! We enjoyed the tea leaf salad, platha with coconut curry, and eggplant & tofu. All of it was delicious, and we even had plenty of food to go around for dinner. We also tried the blue lychee and Vietnamese coffee. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our meal.

Solid Lunch with a Few Quirks
My experience at the restaurant was solid, with reasonable prices. The Paratha w/ Coconut Curry Dip was really good. However, the Nan Gyi Noodle Salad was missing some oomph in taste, though the noodles themselves were good. The Kao Ka Pao was enjoyable. The service was typical lunch service, Asian style, meaning niceties were absent and communication was limited, which was fine given they were managing the weekend lunch shift alone. Overall, a decent meal with some standout dishes.

Disappointing Experience, Not Burmese Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The only thing Burmese about this place is its name; most of the menu items are Thai and even some Indian. The food was bland and super disappointing. The smell in the restaurant was odd, and the vibe was non-existent. The service wasn't particularly friendly either. I do not recommend this place.

Disappointing Burmese Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I felt it was just trying to capitalize on the Burmese trend, and I couldn't find anything authentic about it. The food was passable, but the prices were high. The atmosphere was kind of cold. I believe they are Thai or Chinese. I say don't go.

Disappointing Food, Good Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the service was good, the food was absolutely gross. They clearly don’t know how to use a wok, as none of the noodles were charred but mushy. The so-called “curry” was just coconut milk with little spice, not a true curry. The atmosphere was also a significant letdown.

Amazing Food in Cozy Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was cozy. I ordered the Mohinga, and my partner ordered the Chicken Garlic Noodle; both were great! The service and food were rated a 5 out of 5.

Delicious Food, Great Service!
On a cold, windy summer evening, I was surprised to find many open tables. We ordered the Tea Leaf salad, Garlic Noodles, and Silver Glass Noodle Soup. All the dishes tasted great. The soup surprisingly also came with a couple of delicious quail eggs! Quantities were generous. It was a great meal.
