We had a fantastic experience here, as well as delicious food. I love love their house made Burmese style tofu. But honestly everything we had was great! tea leaf salad, garlic noodle, soft tofu noodles, vermicelli, samusa, and coconut gel desert; top notch. The owners were so lovely and made my birthday celebration feel so special. And their recommendations & catering to our strict vegetarian options were really thoughtful. Thank you!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian/vegan offerings but owner will adjust to make most all dishes vegetarian upon request

Ordered the Fish Paste with Tomato, Pork curry, and Shan noodle soup. This Fish paste with Tomato has a strong fish taste so this is best mixed with rice when consumed. The use of tomato lessens some of the intensity of the fish. The pork curry is similar to a classic chinese braised pork with some more of the oil cooked out of the pork into the curry. This is a pleasant dish with great aromatic flavor and a good portion of pork. The Shan noodle soup contains peanuts, pickled mustard and seasonings. The broth was placed separately to allow us to mix the noodles first. The noodles have the right amount of chewiness to them and the broth is very rich in flavor as a standalone too. This place is very much a hole in the wall, not too busy and service arrived at a decent pace. The atmosphere is not hip or trendy, it simply matches the ambiance of a nondescript traditional small restaurant. There is street parking either in front or around the corner of this quaint restaurant.Parking: Observe time limits of street parking in the area but it is largely convenient to find a spot.

Yoma is a delightful "hole in the wall" serving scrumptious Burmese food. As a newbie to the cuisine, I find myself taken with the rich flavors and satisfying textures. Some of my favorites include the tea leaf salad, fried tofu, and goat curry. My server was friendly and helpful, guiding me towards specialty dishes, and sharing a complementary dessert. Yoma's setting might not be fancy, but the experience is like enjoying a home-cooked meal - not to be missed.

Refused to honor voucher I bought. Said they don't participate in it. Yet over 2 years later it's still being offered on the 3rd party

If you are looking for a southeastern flavors but not just Thai or Vietnamese, you should give Burmese a try! The flavors are unique. If you go on the weekends, they make special soft tofu dish. Their tofu is house made with chickpeas. It’s very different and the flavor is very unique. The service is excellent. They offered us dessert at the end. Lots of vegetarian options

This place was such a lovely experience. The owner and her husband were so sweet and attentive. The food really tasted like it was cooked with love. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning to try out the rest of the menu.

Wanted to try this Burmese restaurant so went with a Burmese friend of mine. We found parking on the street.The restaurant is not that big but we did not have a wait for a party of four. Interior is simple, and service was attentive and friendly. They did kind of forget one of our dishes but was very apologetic when it was finally served.We ordered lots of dishes to share and had leftovers. Food was tasty and we agreed that some dishes tasted different due to regional variations. The menu is extensive with lots and lots of offerings, more than other Burmese restaurants I have been to. Prices were fair.Highly recommend for an authentic Burmese food experience!

Unassuming interiors. Fabulous flavors! We ordered the Chicken Potato Curry, Ginger Salad, and Samusas. They gave us vegetable soup and coconut jelly dessert on the house. My partner loved the falling-off-the-bone chicken curry. The ginger salad had lots of crunch and good textures, and I loved the lightly crisped samusas. The owners were very kind and welcoming, too. We will definitely be back. I want to try the noodle soups and tea leaf salad next time.Parking: Free street parking just around the corner.
