The best Burmese place around. Order many dishes and follow their lead. A superb restaurant. I’ve only been once, but I do not hesitate to put the place on my favorites list.
Comments
We really enjoyed our lunch there. They showed real attentiveness - for instance, when my bf asked for tofu in his noodle dish, they offered to make it without fish sauce and asked if he wanted his iced coffee made with soy.

Whatever you order, please order one of their salads. They are so good.

Whatever you do, order the cream of wheat dessert (ShweJi) after your meal! Although many times desserts fall flat in Asian restaurants for me, this one hits the spot after such a fiery hot meal.
I also thoroughly enjoyed my meal of pickled mango curry with chicken. The chicken was obviously dark meat and was very juicy and cooked well. And if you order your food spicy, be prepared. This place doesn't mess around.
