Arrogant Staff, No Restroom Access
My experience at this restaurant was quite negative due to the staff's arrogance. The person at the front desk refused to let me use the restroom, even though I was there to pick up an order. This lack of basic courtesy was very disappointing.

Tasty Burmese Food Worth Returning For
My experience at this restaurant was centered around tasty Burmese food. Although the place was empty during my visit, it seemed popular for takeout orders. I would definitely return.

Go-to for Burmese Food
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found the food to be great and the service was excellent. It's my go-to spot for Burmese food. I also appreciate that there's free street parking nearby, and I can usually find plenty of parking. The atmosphere was rated a 3, and the noise level was moderate, which was fine for our group of 2 people.

Delicious Food, Great Service!
My friend recommended this place, so I decided to try it with my husband on Friday night. We ordered chili beef, tea leaf salad, and orange chicken. Everything was good, but the tea leaf salad was particularly delicious. I will definitely go back to try other dishes.

Incredible Tea Salad and Mango Chicken!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The tea salad was incredible, rivaling even Burma Superstar. We also really enjoyed the coconut rice and the mango chicken. I highly recommend going here! Be aware that seating is limited, so if you plan to dine in on a weekend, I'd definitely call ahead for reservations. They do offer takeout as well.

Hidden Gem with Divine Coconut Dip!
This place is better than Berma Love. It may look like just another lunch spot in the design district, but it's truly a hidden gem. The food is delicious, with subtle and complex flavors. If you're in the neighborhood, give them a try! I came back and had the garlic eggplant, coconut rice, and platha with coconut chicken dip. Everything was delicious, but the coconut dip was divine! It's like a party in my mouth. An absolute must-have.

Underwhelming Food, Not Recommended
I'm not sure what's up with all the great reviews for this place (maybe they're paid?). My experience was extremely underwhelming. The Pad Thai had very little taste and was of average quality. The tea leaf salad was disappointing, consisting of just some basic shredded romaine and a tiny bit of tomato. Overall, a very underwhelming experience. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place.
