"We were there once before today a couple of weeks back and had a really nice meal. Today, however, the food was not good and very over-priced for what we received. Also, two of the dishes were not as described on the menu! One of the dishes was a combination starter that was described as having samosas and tofu tots and what we received, for $34 which is such a rip off was basically a platter of miniature puff pastries with only 3 of them with any filling. They are all tiny pieces to boot. 1/2 cup of French fries was also on the plate with 3 small containers of sauces two of which resembled hot sauce. How can they charge $34 for this? I didn't even realize the cost until my family member showed me the receipt as we were walking to the car - that's when I decided to review because we felt very ripped off. I actually called the restaurant afterward because I thought there had been a mistake on the $34 charge for the platter and the woman who I spoke to said she was a server and not in control of pricing and if I had a concern I would need to email top Burmese “support,” which I did and haven’t heard one word back. The woman said “they’re air fried!”Okay…Anyway, we’re feeding the remainder of the mini empty all carb puff pastry platter to the birds. I’ve ordered samosa platters at other restaurants for $9-$11 and actually received delightful, substantial and delicious starters. They should be ashamed serving this and charging such an outlandish price. Probably the biggest rip off I’ve ever experienced in my long history of restaurant dining all over the planet. For my entree, I ordered a curry chicken noodle which had absolutely no chicken in it. My family member had an eggplant dish with coconut rice, she usually loves anything with eggplant and she said it was 'tasteless and bland.' The only thing that was decent this time was the tea leaf salad, although that tasted bitter and I would not recommend it. Another disappointment was getting their dessert cake to go, they did not include the whip cream and the serving size was literally half what I received on my last visit. A very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. This restaurant lacks quality control and over-charges. I am thoroughly disappointed. See my itemized receipt below."
"The place has a comfortable positive atmosphere. It is small and cozy. The server was sweet and positive. I ordered the tofu curry w/coconut rice. The rice is decent in flavor taste, though however, the texture felt on the dry side. As if it was a day or two old. The tofu curry was good in flavor overall. The tofu traingle was well done though the sauce was a bit water. Typically curry sauce is much thicker. They did offer a complimentary jasmine green tea, which was a good basic tea. What I did not like about this restaurant was the portion sizes compared to the cost. This one dish cost me $22 plus tip. For a small dish that isn't enriched exotic flavors and for the size isn't worth the cost. This dish flavor is your typical tofu curry dish you can get in many places for large portion size and cheaper price."
"So delicious!!! We got three dishes to share, and each one had so much flavor!! Will definitely be going back asap. We got delivery, but will be dining in next time!"
"The chicken curry was incredible. The fish curry was also delicious-- reminds me of Cambodian khmer noodles. The Chinese noodles are a bit oily but everything else tastes light and fresh. 3 plates were perfect to share with 3 to 4 people. Delicious cocktails & soju also. Great service-- they joked with us made good recommendations. Will definitely return."
"This is a great little quiet spot for dinner with a cozy vibe and unique decor. The tables are painted with different designs and the food is unlike anything I have had. Unsurprisingly the food is somewhere between Indian and Thai food. Dietary guides are clearly marked on the menu, including vegan and vegetarian. The samosas are familiar Indian-like fair. The fresh salads somewhat like Thai or Nepalese food. The curries are hearty and savory, more like a Japanese curry instead of sweet Thai curry or spicy Indian curry. The kabocha curry is a delicious vegan choice. The noodle soup is like Tom Yum Nam Khon. All flavorful and worth the price. My favorite part were the drinks. The Brumese tea with coconut milk really hit the spot on a cold rainy day. The Burmese lemonade had a depth of flavor to it, with some pleasant slushy shaved ice. The Burma Pearl was refreshing for an alcoholic drink. Not strong at all and pleasantly sweet and sour. Dining inside is small, so not good on busy days. They have a very cute robot that helps with orders! Quick service no complaints. Highly recommended for mixed company of vegetarians, omnivores and vegans alike. **beware there is a step down into the restaurant, if you have a wheelchair this will make the inside functionally inaccessible** edit: the business says there is a secondary entrance which is level and accessible. I did not see this during my visit."
