MinGaLaBar Burmese Kitchen

Wow, Google review really came through. The food was so delicious that we were planning the next visit in the car on our way home.

Thank you for keeping the food authentic, we loved it and will be back soon for the Bak Kut Teh!

My son and I stopped in for lunch a few weeks ago. We had never tried Burmese food and wow, can’t wait to come back for more! The menu was very descriptive. The main problem was that I could not order everything! Please stop in and support this restaurant. Dare to try something new, say yes to life!

The food was good but the service was lacking. We waited a long time for the server to take our order and then brought the wrong dish to someone in our party. Once they finally got the correct order everyone else was done. Again waited way to long for our check and then it was wrong. Had asked to split it it which they didn't. Once they did it was still wrong. We finally just paid and pretty sure we paid more than we got.

This place is a wonderful find that really demands more attention. It is a combo of Chinese/Indian/Japanese that really works. The menu is large, which can be tricky, but most of the items include Asian standbys, like rice, noodles, beef and chicken, done with a twist. We took carry outs of Kat Kyi Kaik (Fried Flat Noodles with squid and prawn), Coconut Noodles (with chicken), Spring Rolls & Shrimp Tempura. Prices were reasonable and there were leftovers. The wife is very particular about her Asian cuisine, but was very impressed with all 4 items. We shall return. An instant classic!

This place was amazing. Our server Ong was extremely nice and hospitable. We got the soup with ground pork and fermented beans&chilies on top (picture is after eating some) and the bamboo leaf sampler plate (eggplant, pork belly, crispy beef, etc) on Ong's recommendation and both were perfect. We've been to popular Burmese restaurants in San Francisco and found the food here better and with more variety of dishes. Would highly recommend this to anybody!

The food is so delicious! We ordered No. 41 and No. 43, we loved them, especially the rice on No. 41 is coconut-flavored, which is delicious.

Crazy delicious food and the sweetest folks. If we lived nearby we’d be here all the time! Don’t pass on the Ah Thoke Sone and Kyet Kalar Thar.

This place doesn't get enough credit!
Simply a best kept secret of the DSM metro.
Kids egg roll set is WINNER with our kids.
Sushi, curry & many other options. No reason to leave hungry or disappointed.
