This restaurant is located inside Bayview village with lots of parking inside. We went there for dinner. The place is nice, clean and has a cozy comfort feel. The service is great, with servers and staff coming over to check on us. Our first time visiting this restaurant and got a walk through of the menu and their signature dishes. I also noticed they have a nice selection of tea drinks which I will come back during tea time after shopping to try.We had a couple of appetizers including this crispy chickpea tofu which has a different texture than I expected because it is chickpea. The tea leaf salad which was recommended to us were one of our fav. Very refreshing.For the main, we tried the beef curry, edamame and truffle fried rice and the kowsuey. They makes good curry which we enjoyed a lot.We also had a Macau Portuguese egg tart that served warm and I highly recommend it.Overall it was a great experience for us.

I like the atmosphere, service of the restaurant. The food is not bad but not great either. The chilli chowmein is bland and tasteless. The previous Shanghai noodles were much tastier but I heard this dish was discontinued. Kindly bring it back. I rate the chowmein low because it has no taste whatsoever.Vegetarian options: Add more tastier vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: Add more kid friendly foods.

Great experience overallAnother place I have wanted to come try for so long. Got the chance to with a friend who said he’s also wanting to come, so it worked out perfectlyGood was very tasty. Lots of textures and lots of spice. Which is generally the food style from Burma.Definitely recommend the mohinga noodle soup and the shrimp kebat. Very tasty.Service was great. She even informed us of the spice level in the dishes we ordered. And it’s actually spicy, not like how some people would say “spicy” and it turns out less, so beware, especially for the people who can tolerate some spice. This will be spicier than expectedLots of ample parking since it’s inside bayview village.Definitely want to come back.Great job overall

Pretty disappointed in the food. Was expecting it to be flavorful, but was just OK, nothing great. Service was great and staff was friendly. Food doesn’t look like their pictures online. We ordered the chili garlic noodles and they tasted like nothing, so we sent it back and apparently the chef had missed adding the sauce. Dynamite shrimp is overrated. We ordered a curry which apparently doesn’t come rice, which they added themselves without disclaiming, so there was an extra charge for rice to be served. Overall, pricey for what it is.

First time here for dinner and was not disappointed. We ordered a number of dishes to share and every dish was delicious. Highly recommend the following dishes: platha with chicken curry (better to add an extra platha..super crispy and buttery), Myanmar potato..had a nice kick, tea leaf fried rice..very aromatic, huge portion, and Burmese pad Thai. Service was quick and staff were very friendly and constantly kept our glasses filled with water.

Delicious Burmese Food! The "Oh No" Khowsuey is definitely recommended. The Katsu Chicken Bao is flavourful as well, indeed a good option if you need something on the lighter side. Need to come back to try some of that Burmese stir fried chicken. And yes, halal is served.

I visited for a lunch sitting, for which there was ample room at the opening and first seating.I ordered their 2 recommended dishes from the menu, the tea leaf rice and lamb Bao.Food service is slow, as it's probably due to there being only one chef in the small kitchen. As he cooks food as it is ordered, so cooking one dish at a time. So the food comes out on waves, and if you're at a table where other people ordered something else, prepare to expect for a wait until the next dish comes out. Basically, don't expect to start eating at the same time as your other table mates or if you do eat at the same time, expect some people's food to be cold.The tea leaf rice is just that....tea leaves and rice with a garnish of peanuts. I would consider this as more of an appetizer dish a main dish as the placement in the menu is wrong. There are no protein or sufficient proteins in this dish to be called a dish. The tea leaf aroma is absent, the flavours from the tea leaf are absent. Other than the name, this is not worth the price or spectacle.The 2nd dish was the lamb bao which is classed as an appetizer on the menu and only 2-3$ cheaper than the tea leaf rice which I found strange. This item only came as 2 baos which would equate to about 7$ a Bao which would put it price wise close to a fast food burger. For which the burger is substantially more filling. The lamb was dry. The lamb filling was sparse, the greens that accompanied the baos were lettuce and not of the freshest sort. The lettuce was browning which indicates that it is aged. In terms of flavour, there is an absence of the flavour of lamb.Other table mates had curry which at other restaurants include rice (here you side order this and the rice is a large order), the chili chicken is overly salted.It was good for water service for which we were always topped up as there were 4 wait staff milling about.This restaurant is not a return option.
