They say open at 11am but till noon their door is still closed … and no announcement at all … don’t waste your time make your way
I have never left a review prior to this experience. This food is incredible. My only point of comparison is with Burma Superstar in SF, which is forever beloved. I have been missing and craving their wonderful food for ages. This NYC addition of Burmese cuisine is so very much appreciated. The samosa soup has a distinct quality with the cucumber and mint addition that is just lovely.
STOP PLAYIN, Maybe just don’t review this place if you don’t like Burmese food? Cause this is some of the best you can get in NYC and probably the country. Affordable with insane flavors you won’t find anywhere else.
Michelin recommended, saw my favorite chef post about their fermented tea leaf salad. If only I could have salads like these everyday: it was different with every bite. It had surprises the whole time we ate it. We also got the Burmese pancake and cassava cake — texturally so interesting too. Thank you so much to the staff as well ; you were so kind to us!
Delicious coconut chicken curry soup, and skewers
Remember it's a cash only spot... Or at least learn about it after you order and run out to the nearest ATM because the food is great and worth the short term panic. Great staff. Patient and explained our dumb menu question. Thankful they understood we wanted to see if certain things (though not labeled as vegetarian/vegan friendly) could be made to be veggie friendly. And they were able to (specifically for the tea leaf salad that defaults with dry shrimp and fish sauce). Solid place. No alcohol served. Looking forward to going back again.
Food is perfectly dreadful. People well-meaning, but have to re-examine their recipes. Way(!) too much garlic (and I love garlic) and rotting tiny shrimps in their salad. Ok, I had a bad experience. Hope yours was better.
