Came here for my birthday at lunchtime with my best friend. First time eating Burmese food. The place was nice and tidy and the service was well. I got my food from the lunch menu, the Burmese Style Beef Biryani. I also tried the garlic noodles. I got two cocktail drinks, the Lychee Sangria and Golden Glow. I also tried the fried banana ice cream for dessert. I would definitely come back to try other house craft drinks!
My wife's favorite restaurant featuring Amazing Burmese food with so many different sauces and flavors and so many drink choices too. Their Lavender drinks will not disappoint nor will any their exotic drink offerings. The time there 7 of us and we started with some tofu lettuce wraps, paratha and veggie curry and their crispy veggie egg rolls all of which fit right into the Burmese taste profile we like. Then we ordered main dishes which included one of their signature dishes call Fiery tofu but you can order the same dish but with chicken, beef, fish and etc. Ours came in a spicy sauce with sliced tofu, julienned red bell pepper, green beans and sliced onions all sautéd together, garlic noodles which consists of sort of the linguini style egg noodles in a delicate garlic sauce, sesame chicken and a very good crispy beef special. It's a special restaurant that we will keep on coming back to. The service is always warm and friendly and it's cozy on the inside and comfortable on their outdoor patio as well. Located in the quaint town of Benicia a block from the water. It's a gem that you should come and experience.
This food never fails! It's been a while since I had their food and I noticed their location on Southampton is closed. But this evening I was so indecisive about what I wanted to eat and Burmese flavors were sounding good. I ordered the Fiery Shrimp, very spicy and Shrimp eggplant, very spicy. Delicious. Good spice. Distinct flavors. The eggplant is toooo good. Happy Dance
Food: Wonderful Ambiance: Nothing special Service: A bit slow but courteous. The food is quite good. Portions are large, even the lunch specials are good for sharing. The coconut rice is the best.
Outstanding all around. We were surprized at the quality and the size of the portions. Yummy! I appreciated the instructions I gave on how I liked my tilapia and they followed it perfectly. We're coming back tomorrow.
Good food, good service, nice ambiance! Our first time to this place and trying Burmese food and it did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I were on a date but there were also a few families there enjoying lunch. The place is on the smaller side but it's cozy, inviting and clean. BF's fave: honey beef My fave: crispy pork belly - great without the sauce but even more amazing with it! Our 2nd: HWS - We are usually pretty picky with regards to honey walnut shrimp but this one met our expectations and was quite enjoyable. Btw, we ended up only taking leftovers of the noodles because we were full. Everything else we annihilated!
Came here for lunch with my in laws and family. It was a nice space. We sat outdoors and the outdoor was pleasant with heating lamps just in case. The overall ambiance is nice and dainty decoration's. Service is quick and prompt they were very attending and polite. Drink: - lychee Sangria - 4/5 fresh fruit and sweet - cloudy Mojito - 4/5 refreshing Food: Starter: - Palatha with yellow curry - 5/5 flavorful and a great start - Burmese style chicken wings - 5/5 flavorful/crispy/spicy/Delicious Main: - chicken chow mein - 5/5 saucy good flavor - Burmese style masala beef - 4/5 bold flavor, soft beef - honey beef special - 5/5 crispy sweet beef really good! - garlic string beans - 5/5 the sauce is so good -coconut rice - 4/5 the most flavorful coconut rice. Really sweet
WOW! Aung MayLiKa absolutely impressed with excellent service & delicious dishes. Not being too familiar with the Burmese cuisine prior to this, my party and I loved every dish we got here and all agreed this was a spot we would definitely return to. We tried the following dishes: - CHICKEN BIRYANI - slow cooked fall-off-the-bone chicken goodness. Sauce is packed with flavor and the rice & salad dish make this a well-balanced platter. - COCONUT SALMON - the marinade was a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. My one tip is as a standalone dish, this would probably be best with a side of rice. - SPICY NOODLES - very similar to Pad Thai. Again, flavored expertly. - BURMESE CHICKEN WINGS - crispy crunchy with subtle but flavorful spices in the batter. A great appetizer! - TEA LEAF SALAD - an aromatic, herbal experience in the palate. A great dish to add to the mix as a break between saucy dishes. - BLACK STICKY RICE - a nice sweet treat to end off our meal! Almost a smidge too sweet for our taste with the extra condensed milk drizzled on top, but still loved it!
