Fantastic! What a wonderful place! Tea salad, veggie samosas, mango chicken were all fabulous! Burmese tea (hot) was a special treat! Can't wait to come back for another romantic date night!

We were concerned when we arrived at 5:30 and the place was empty, but it gradually filled and we had a very pleasant meal. Perfect martini, excellent spring rolls. The chicken curry with tea leaves was a hit, lamb with rice just meh. Nice ambiance, and quiet music was appreciated-easy to carry on a conversation for once!

Toned down Burmese food for Americans.

You’re paying a lot for ambiance here based on decor and location, but I found the robot deliverer a bit out of place here and not really adding much.

The food is, to put it bluntly, white-people friendly. I ordered the beef coconut stew and the beef had pretty much no fat content and was fairly overcooked, so it’s probably premade and heated up on order as it came out via delivery robot rather quickly.

Portions are sparse for the price. The amount of meat included was decent but would have been nice to have more actual stew. Anyway, I’m sure some people love it but I will not be returning.

Amazing Khao Soi. Indigo was our server and was very sweet. Would definitely come back and try their other dishes :)

Having never had Burmese cuisine, this was an out-of-box experience for us, and it was most enjoyable!

Our server gave an excellent overview of the menu, and suggested we try the Samosas, and the curry dishes.

Everything was delicious; the secondary server (a robot) was fun to watch and very efficient!

The Burmese Dessert Cake made the evening; moist, semisweet, with sesame seeds!

Highly recommended!

The vegetable samosa starter was excellent; both the mango curry and the lamb and rice dishes were very good; the stir-fried okra side not so much. Great ambience, good service.
