SO GOOD! The food is delicious and the staff are incredibly nice. Highly recommend the shan tofu or the vegetarian entrees like garlic eggplant or fiery vegetables. Of course the tea leaf salad is a must if you haven’t had it before. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I never needed to ask for more water, a to-go container or signal ready to order; they were on it. Excited to go again and try more of the menu!

Really delicious Burmese food. Each dish had a unique flavor, and the service was excellent.

Tea leaf salad was the best. Shan tofu was oily! All other items we ordered were very good, flavorful and spicy (customizable). Service was excellent. I would certainly go back.

Love this place. Ordered 4 dishes, and a side of steamed vegetables. Everything even just the steamed vegetables was good. All the vegetables were fresh. Perfectly cooked, and they would stand alone without any spice. I am looking forward to try new dishes when I return to eat here again.

Had pork curry, chicken eggplant, pumpkin vegetable, and pineapple fried rice.

Husband and I love drawing new cuisines and Burmese food was on our list. This place seemed authentic and had good reviews and they were all very true!

Food was absolutely phenomenal and portion size was massive.
Service was really amusing as well because everyone there was quite friendly and fun. They seem to be talking in a casual, welcoming, fun Vibe to are the guests at the restaurant as well and it just felt like a nice place.

Tea Leaf Salad (Dressing on the side) - 10/10
I don't even understand what I tasted here. This was an explosion of flavor and texture!
We asked for dressing on the side and they actually gave the whole salad, deconstructed and its portions which I absolutely loved! Husband and I eat pretty healthy so this was perfect because we could customize the amount of toppings we wanted in there.
Barely used any dressing but overall this was really a lovely salad and I totally recommend it.

Burmese eggplant Curry - 9/10
Another flavor explosion here! Very unique flavor in comparison with curries from Indian or Thai food.
Perfectly cooked eggplant and the curry itself was so flavorful. Dried some of that curry powder on its own with some chicken and it was lovely again so I bet the Burmese Chicken Curry would also be amazing.

Nan gyi thoke - 11/10
I have not had a noodle dish in so long and especially one that tasted this good! I was a little skeptical about the high calories because it was a coconut curry but man this was an amazing dish! Also didn't feel too heavy because there was a good amount of chicken and noodles and just the right amount of little bit of Curry to hold it all together but not too much.

Kebat chicken - 8/10
I know people left a lot of good reviews for this, but it was just okay. Not a wow factor compared to other items. A little strong in flavor.
Love the mint taste and how soft the chicken was though!

Coconut Rice - 10/10
We got this after so many reviews talked about it, and it's definitely worth trying! Light and fluffy and perfect amount of sweetness from the coconut milk. Really goes well with the curry items.

Sweet black sticky Rice - 8.5/10
I was actually surprised that this dish was hot and not cold! Steaming hot sticky rice pudding with cool vanilla ice cream on the side. I think that combination is what made it work because too much of the rice on its own would be a little extra. Husband and I split this and it was a good amount split between two people. Ice cream also had a few slides of oranges underneath which actually went really well with everything.

Excellent food served with friendly hospitality. I loved the tea leaf salad here. Coconut rice was a perfect pair with basil lemon grass chicken. Chili beef noodle and Coconut milk soup were tasty too. Food was just spicy enough to keep the tastebuds happy.

Food was amazing. We tried the tea leaf salad, fiery vegetables and mango tofu. The mango tofu was okay but rest of the food was great. The drinks were good as well. Definitely worth trying especially if you prefer vegetarian food.
