Pa Lian Burmese Restaurant ( BYOB)

We have a vegan taste testing group that visited this restaurant and we all fell in love with it!! Each of us bought a different dish and shared it, and we loved all of the dishes. But the winner that stood out was the ginger Salad. Everyone agreed it was the best salad we’ve had. The pictures don’t do the meals justice and the servings are huge. They are definitely shareable.!
We all also purchased meals to go for the evening, and the restaurant manager was very attentive to assuring that we knew how to assemble our take-home dishes for optimum flavors!
Definitely try it you won’t be disappointed!

Vegetarian options: The vegan and vegetarian menu are combined under one category so make sure you ask about ingredients if you’re a strict vegan

It was our first time trying out Burmese food and it for sure won’t be our last. The restaurant has a chill, modern and warm vibe and that reflected in the friendly service as well. We ordered the chickpea tofu which comes with an amazing dipping sauce, tea leaf salad, goat curry and crazy fried fish. Everything was packed with flavors and did not disappoint! Can’t wait to come back and check out different dishes on the menu!

Highly recommend, favorite asian food in Wheaton by far. The food was light, and so flavorful.
Ordered the Shrimp salad, Oh-noh-kauk soup, and Shan Noodle.
Shrimp salad was the star, followed by the Oh-no-kauk, and then the noodles. Will be coming back again.

First time trying Burmese cuisine. Stopped in on after seeing some GF options clearly identified, as I have a serious sensitivity. The server understood and, interviewing me on preferences, helpfully suggested the catfish soup and I was so thrilled with the recommendation. Delicious! 80's music was fun on Saturday evening. Look forward to returning.

My wife and I love this place! The food is fresh, flavorful, and nicely prepared/presented. It's a very clean place with nice music. The service is super friendly and quick. The portions are very generous!

They have several vegan options and the server (owner?) is very helpful in making recommendations.

Vegetarian options: They offer specific vegan menu items. They're easy to find.

Dietary restrictions: They have some gluten-free noodle options.
