Met up with friends for dinner here. Was pretty busy but the food still came quickly and was tasty. The spiciness was nice. It wasn't a "burn your whole mouth" type of flavor, but builds up slowly and makes you sweat. The only improvement would be if you could order a beer (I didn't see any on the menu). More

We got it delivered so we can't speak to the atmosphere. The food was fresh and good quality. Overall I felt I would definitely try more items on the menu before making a final judgment. We got tea leaf salad and fiery tofu stir fry. Both

Got pickup takeout ordered online. Every dish I got was mind-blowingly delicious. I had no idea curry could taste so buttery. The chicken in the noodles was so moist. The fried tofu was crispy and salty. Some of the best food I’ve had,

Fantastic and authentic Burmese cuisine at readable prices. The tea leaf salad reminded me of my vacation in Burma, and btw 10x better than Burma Superstar. Also had the beef curry , absolutely mouth watering. Highly recommended!

We went here for dinner. The place it self was small and nice but the kitchen could be more isolated from the eating area. A few times while dining we got hit with a wave of scents from the kitchen that were a bit overwhelming.

yep, it's good. rather than wait i just order take out and bring it home. or, just go during the week when there is not as much of a wait. wonder why they haven't gone the way of OSHA and opened more locations.

  • Vamonos

Always satisfying to dine in or pickup from here. Food is just as good as other Burmese places I’ve had but it is actually more affordable. Not as popular but highly recommend this place for a good meal. More

Friendly service and cozy place! Tea leaf salad is solid. The nan ghi tok (curry rice noodles) is amazing!!! Although gets heavy at the end. Wouldn’t recommend the lemongrass shrimp tho, wayyyy too salty :/

Got takeout here for lunch. The food was delicious, the portions generous and the service excellent. Lots of vegetarian options, too. I'll definitely be returning!
