My first time here and food, service, and ambiance is 5/5. I have nothing but good to say about this place. I think I’ve had Burmese food twice before but it has been awhile.
As you walk in you are greeted by one of their staff and we are seated right away. It not a huge restaurant but it’s not small one either. You can smell the food as you walk in and it smells so good it makes you hungry even more.
The decor is beautiful. It has a glimpse of their culture shown in paintings. I loved looking at them. The place also looks clean and tidy.
For the food we ordered a couple of appetizers and main dishes to share. Love, loved the salt and pepper tofu. It’s a good starter, but don’t forget the sauce. We also ordered samosa’s which had good flavor inside and crispy on the outside.
For the main dishes we had: Spicy noodle with shrimp, Traditional Red Curry Chicken, and MayLika’s Fiery with tofu and beef. All these dishes had wonderful flavors and they did not skimp on the protein. Last but not least we shared a dessert. The Dubai Dessert Palatha. I’ve never had anything like it. Love the palatha and ice cream combination. We have to have that ice cream.
Note: the chicken in the Red curry was so tender and not dry (as chicken in curry’s tend to be dry at times).
The service was awesome. They kept our water cup filled. And we stayed to chat for a while after we ate and they didn’t rush us out.

The food was delicious! Thr lunch specials are also very reasonably priced. My crispy chicken with veggies (added spice) was amazing, and the server was attentive and thorough. We'd love to go back soon

My wife and I love this place. Our new favorite. Burmese cuisine is a blend of Thai and Indian flavors. The meats in the curries are succulent. The service is friendly and prompt.
Some of our favorites include:
Tea Leaf Salad, Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup, Lamb Red Curry, Chicken Curry, Beef Curry, and Green Tea Ice Cream

We had Aung May Lika cater for our recent holiday party and the service and food were both excellent! Food arrived and was set up right on time, was piping hot and plentiful! Highly recommended!
Great atmosphere and well decorated dining room. Food was good, but some menus could be a little too spicy for others. So it's better to ask before you order.

Great food great service. The lobster noodles were Tuesday and flavorful Crab fried rice was great. My kids tore it up. Also the fruit infused sodas were very tasty. Price was a little higher than expected, but it was very much worth it.

We love their food. It's a bit more pricey, so we go as a treat. For a nice variety, we like the Lemongrass chicken and vegetables, Eggplant garlic, String beans, and the House fried rice. Portions are generous, so we always have leftovers for a light lunch the next day.

This is a cute little restaurant on 1st Street with a nice outdoor patio. We're usually here for lunch but it looks like a romantic place for dinner too.
The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. I'm in love with their drinks menu and would heartily recommend the coconut rice.
Parking: On-site parking seems rarely available next to the restaurant. However, there are plenty of options for free street parking near the pier.

Great service. Outdoor patio lends a beautiful atmosphere. Moreover, the food was outstanding. Of course, the tea leaf salad was everyone's favorite, but after that, it was a mix of the eggplant, chicken wings, tilapia and lemongrass salmon. Delicious!

Very good food, nice outdoor seating. My rating would be higher if they used less MSG. ( I can tolerate a little, but if a lot is added, I get a severe migraine.)

Chicken wings are super good, not to mention the garlic noodles, and pork belly. The Date Night drink (matcha with lavender syrup) was refreshing.
