Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

The best Burmese cuisine I have tried in the US of A! Fantastic food, lovely people and awesome service. Highly recommended. I had indian-burmese fusion samosas, Yangon street cafes style, the best I ever had! Monthinga is good although pretty mild for my taste. More than decent warm mushy tofu. One of the best Nangyithoke. Complementary sago pudding is great too. We didn't have the time for dessert so they packed it for us. Can't recommend them enough.

I wanted to try some Burmese food and thankfully this place was closest. I entered early in the late afternoon and the place was delightfully empty but yet open for early dinner. This place really felt like a family-run restaurant, extremely inviting, and Mr Timt(?), the host was very kind and helpful to me as I have only had Burmese food once and it was a long time ago. I had the Shan noodles, which my host suggested I put two spoonful of soup on, and everything about this dish was perfect. The noodles I think are homemade they were perfect and chewy. The beat I chose was chicken but it was so complex I thought that you could only reach that level of complexity with pork but it was definitely chicken and all mixed together it was a brilliant dish, outrageously good. I had the chicken and potato Curry and that was excellent as well, nowhere near as complex but simple good food and I like this kind of Curry very much. My host was so friendly he gave me a sampler dish of fried tofu in the Burmese style, which has a texture of tofu I've never experienced before was almost like a banana or buttery it's hard to explain but it was very good. And then there were also very small samusas, and they were delicious too. I was pretty much full at that point but I couldn't not try these they were a gift and also extraordinarily good with this dipping sauce. I ended with Burmese tea which is a milk tea let it hit the spot. I will definitely be back because I'm already craving those Shan noodles again and wish I brought more home for takeout. Or maybe I'll try their fish soup and noodles next time. It was an excellent experience on all fronts
