The food here is better than the food I had in Burma. I especially like the eggplant curry and the beef in tea leaves. I would eat here again. Parking was easy to find in the lot. We ordered the following for 4 people: paratha with coconut curry sauce, tea leaf salad, garlic noodles with shrimp, tea leaf lamb, eggplant curry, 2 bowls of coconut rice, Burmese sweet hot tea, par lu dar.
I don't normally eat rice, but I wanted a second bowl! Service was good. We will definitely come back and try other entrees.
The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 was because one of the four people that ate this food got the runs 20 minutes later but the other three people were fine. I went here with a meet-up group full of foodies. Our server pushed the tea leaf salad, but we decided to get our own entrees instead. I ordered garlic noodles with shrimp and my friend ordered southern noodles.
We shared our orders with each other The garlic noodles were flavorful and went well with the seasoned shrimp. I just only wished the serving size was much larger. The southern noodles tasted dry. It was seasoned with bean powder and it created a gritty taste. I felt pretty thirsty eating it. Service was great and staff was very attentive. I would go back and take the server's advice and try the tea leaf salad.
After a long time had an authentic Burmese food. Worth a visit. Mohinga and green tea salad, ginger salad, tofu thoth, and All kind of mix tempura very excellent. Went for lunch and really enjoyed our entries. Chicken and Garlic Noodles, shrimp with paprika, and tealeaf salad! Flights Vacation Rentals Restaurants Things to do. Skip to main content.

Updating list Although you don't need to be a student of Myanmar's history to appreciate its cuisine, a little context never hurts. In , what was then called Burma -- an expansive nation bordering Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and China -- secured its democratic independence. It quickly turned into a dictatorship and, since the s, has been embroiled in a series of civil wars and genocides.
Throughout the last 40 years, more than , Rohingya people, a Muslim minority in the predominantly Theravada Buddhist Rakhine State, have been displaced or killed, according to Human Rights Watch. They and other groups from Myanmar have become among the most diasporic peoples in modern history, with millions of expats living and working in countries around the world.
If there is any silver lining to this widespread displacement, it is that thousands of Burmese emigres have settled in Southern California often by way of the Bay Area , bringing with them one of the richest culinary traditions in the world.

Eating there requires you to navigate a tight, two-hour-maximum parking lot, but it remains a charming spot. Revolving specials like fish with tomato rice pilaf or house-pickled seasonal vegetables keep regulars coming back.
Angelenos became accustomed to seeing him at Culver City's Jasmine Market, the halal Burmese restaurant Aung launched in While Jasmine remains open under new leadership see below , Mutiara, now in its 10th year of business, has become every bit its equal as a source for street food with a Burmese Malay bent.
We've written before about our love of international pancakes , so we never skip the murtabak stuffed with ground chicken. If you want to avoid meat, beware the mislabeled sayur campur goreng. Its ingredients, listed as "mix vegetables," don't mention the fact that the recipe includes dried shrimp. La Brea Ave. Yoma and its proprietor, Z Gyung "Joan" Lam, are widely acclaimed , and for good reason. Nothing here is less than great.
Shallot-heavy shan noodle soup, with or without the broth, is stellar comfort food. Sugary, tender beef curry and fried mini-shrimps in blood-red chili paste make for a rich combination of sweetness and spice. Chin baung ywat , fried roselle leaf, is so tart it curls your tongue. The wonders of a meal here extend beyond the food; it's clear Lam reveres the community and recipes of her home state, Kachin.
The restaurant is handicap-accessible with free street parking for several blocks E. Garvey Ave. Daw Yee's portions aren't as generous as some of the other restaurants on this list and the parking-challenged brick-and-mortar is forced to make its steep Sunset Blvd. Nonetheless, even their simplest dishes -- mashed garbanzo bean triangles called platha, asone thoke noodle salad, garlic noodles with shredded duck -- are gorgeous to look at and comforting to eat.
If you can, come here when your friend who just sold a pilot to HBO is footing the bill. Sunset Blvd. A few bites of Cetana Mon Myanmar's buu thee kyaw, an appetizer of opo squash tempura, can be dangerous. Cut into three-quarter-inch strips and flash-fried in sticky rice flour, it arrives on a whopping plate of five golden fritters that could be a meal on its own.
