This is the place to go to try real authentic Burmese food that has not been Americanized. Great tea leaf and ginger salads, Chickpea tofu dishes , and various soups and curries. Staff seem happy working here as well. Highly recommended.

Due to the attentive service and great food, this place has become one of our go-to places to eat when we are in the East Bay. Lately, we had been getting the M11 (Noodle Salad) and M2 (Chicken Noodle Dry).

The chicken curry sauce in the Nann Gyi Thoke (or Noodle Salad) is savory and hearty. Next time, we will order fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side to give it more of a zesty flavor.

The Kyay Oh (or Dry Chicken Noodle) is a dish that we like as a soup or dry. Lately, we have been getting the dry version (M2) with extra Mustard greens. Although the dish is good on its own, the red chilly sauce that comes with the dish adds a bit of heat. But for more heat, we order a side of their in-house chunky garlic jalapeño paste.

Love love love this place. I had never tried Burmese food before and this is the first time I tried it here. It's delicious.We Loved the soup, the tea leaves salad so much. I believe it's a family owned restaurant where the Mom/Dad are the chef and the boys are servers. They serve food in proper serving bowls but you have to eat in disposables. Pretty small joint but authentic. They even offered some fried stuff with chana dal( Indian name) while waiting for food and it was a while until the order came.Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

As a Burmese, this place truly hit the spot! I came here with my wife and my mom, and we ordered a variety of dishes: Nan Gyi Thot, Dan Pout, chicken curry, paratha, and tofu salad.

The Nan Gyi Thot, a classic Burmese noodle dish, was wonderfully flavorful, with perfectly cooked rice noodles coated in a rich, savory chicken curry sauce. The fresh garnishes, and crunchy chips added a nice kick.

The Dan Pout, a Burmese / Indian yellow rice dish, was generously served with tender, juicy pieces of chicken in a fragrant and slightly tangy sauce. The thick sauce was so delicious too.

The chicken curry was was incredibly rich, deeply spiced, and brimming with bold flavors. The curry sauce paired beautifully with the flaky, golden-brown paratha, which was perfectly crunchy on the outside and buttery soft inside. It also complemented the Nan Gyi Thot perfectly, making the dish even more enjoyable.

Lastly, the tofu salad was light yet packed with flavor. The tofu was soft and delicate, mixed with fresh vegetables, a tangy dressing, and just the right amount of heat.
Everything we tried tasted authentic and reminded me of my mom's cooking at home. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

Food was good. Unfortunately, there were dead and dying cockroaches all over the restroom floor and some in the walkway leading to the restroom. By the time I realized, I had already eaten.

Visiting from Singapore and my friends brought me there. I didn't get used to eating food in form boxes at the restaurant which made me awkward. Pork noodle soup (Kyay Oh) was good. But, the type of noodle used for garlic oiled noodle salad (See Chat Khawt Swe) wasn't right though the taste was acceptable. I would rate oberall as a good restaurant to try.

So stoked to discover this restaurant. Native Burmese here and I gotta say this is the best and most authentic Burmese food I’ve had in the Bay so far. They are better than restaurants several times the price. Look past the humble restaurant or the paper plates and the taste will bring one right back to Yangon. The star of the show at this restaurant is their Kyay Oh which is a famous rice noodle dish in Burma with many components that is quite difficult to make and hard to find. However it doesn’t stop there, their tea leaf salad is one of the best I’ve had and their curries are so complex and delicious. I will venture to say they beat out the Burmese restaurants in LA. This place is very underrated and absolutely a hidden gem and deserves a Bib Gourmand.
