This looks like a family business and I rate their services accordingly. I note that some of their food are served with take away containers and plastic cutleries, which I did not have any problem with this. The food is very authentic. Much more authentic than burmese superstar. The food is a little bit oily but I found most dishes in Mandelay Burma are the same. I like their tea leaf salad - they use a generous amount of fermented tea leafs. Their fish chowder is very delicious. I am grateful to find a decent burmese family restaurant in the bay area.
We ordered the curry chicken soup and the fish noodle soup and they are delicious! The soups have a special flavor that I have never tasted, super tasty. Highly recommended!
A small Burmese restaurant that serves authentic Burmese food. The portions are big, and prices are extremely reasonable. Staff are friendly
Delicious Burmese food! You must have the tea leaf salad if you eat here. I also recommend the fish noodle soup with catfish. These dishes are so flavorful and the textures are so satisfying. Savory and refreshing at the same time!
Love love love this place. I had never tried Burmese food before and this is the first time I tried it here. It's delicious.We Loved the soup, the tea leaves salad so much. I believe it's a family owned restaurant where the Mom/Dad are the chef and the boys are servers. They serve food in proper serving bowls but you have to eat in disposables. Pretty small joint but authentic. They even offered some fried stuff with chana dal( Indian name) while waiting for food and it was a while until the order came.Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
So stoked to discover this restaurant. Native Burmese here and I gotta say this is the best and most authentic Burmese food I’ve had in the Bay so far. They are better than restaurants several times the price. Look past the humble restaurant or the paper plates and the taste will bring one right back to Yangon. The star of the show at this restaurant is their Kyay Oh which is a famous rice noodle dish in Burma with many components that is quite difficult to make and hard to find. However it doesn’t stop there, their tea leaf salad is one of the best I’ve had and their curries are so complex and delicious. I will venture to say they beat out the Burmese restaurants in LA. This place is very underrated and absolutely a hidden gem and deserves a Bib Gourmand.
As a Burmese, this place truly hit the spot! I came here with my wife and my mom, and we ordered a variety of dishes: Nan Gyi Thot, Dan Pout, chicken curry, paratha, and tofu salad. The Nan Gyi Thot, a classic Burmese noodle dish, was wonderfully flavorful, with perfectly cooked rice noodles coated in a rich, savory chicken curry sauce. The fresh garnishes, and crunchy chips added a nice kick. The Dan Pout, a Burmese / Indian yellow rice dish, was generously served with tender, juicy pieces of chicken in a fragrant and slightly tangy sauce. The thick sauce was so delicious too. The chicken curry was was incredibly rich, deeply spiced, and brimming with bold flavors. The curry sauce paired beautifully with the flaky, golden-brown paratha, which was perfectly crunchy on the outside and buttery soft inside. It also complemented the Nan Gyi Thot perfectly, making the dish even more enjoyable. Lastly, the tofu salad was light yet packed with flavor. The tofu was soft and delicate, mixed with fresh vegetables, a tangy dressing, and just the right amount of heat. Everything we tried tasted authentic and reminded me of my mom's cooking at home. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!
Otherworldly tea leaf salad and beef or lamb curry. I love the owner — she’s always friendly, laid-back, and attentive. Dining in at Kyain Kyain is like visiting family who happen to be phenomenal Burmese cooks.
