Pretty disappointed in the food. Was expecting it to be flavorful, but was just OK, nothing great. Service was great and staff was friendly. Food doesn’t look like their pictures online. We ordered the chili garlic noodles and they tasted like nothing, so we sent it back and apparently the chef had missed adding the sauce. Dynamite shrimp is overrated. We ordered a curry which apparently doesn’t come rice, which they added themselves without disclaiming, so there was an extra charge for rice to be served. Overall, pricey for what it is.

First time here for dinner and was not disappointed. We ordered a number of dishes to share and every dish was delicious. Highly recommend the following dishes: platha with chicken curry (better to add an extra platha..super crispy and buttery), Myanmar potato..had a nice kick, tea leaf fried rice..very aromatic, huge portion, and Burmese pad Thai. Service was quick and staff were very friendly and constantly kept our glasses filled with water.

Delicious Burmese Food! The "Oh No" Khowsuey is definitely recommended. The Katsu Chicken Bao is flavourful as well, indeed a good option if you need something on the lighter side. Need to come back to try some of that Burmese stir fried chicken. And yes, halal is served.

I visited for a lunch sitting, for which there was ample room at the opening and first seating.I ordered their 2 recommended dishes from the menu, the tea leaf rice and lamb Bao.Food service is slow, as it's probably due to there being only one chef in the small kitchen. As he cooks food as it is ordered, so cooking one dish at a time. So the food comes out on waves, and if you're at a table where other people ordered something else, prepare to expect for a wait until the next dish comes out. Basically, don't expect to start eating at the same time as your other table mates or if you do eat at the same time, expect some people's food to be cold.The tea leaf rice is just that....tea leaves and rice with a garnish of peanuts. I would consider this as more of an appetizer dish a main dish as the placement in the menu is wrong. There are no protein or sufficient proteins in this dish to be called a dish. The tea leaf aroma is absent, the flavours from the tea leaf are absent. Other than the name, this is not worth the price or spectacle.The 2nd dish was the lamb bao which is classed as an appetizer on the menu and only 2-3$ cheaper than the tea leaf rice which I found strange. This item only came as 2 baos which would equate to about 7$ a Bao which would put it price wise close to a fast food burger. For which the burger is substantially more filling. The lamb was dry. The lamb filling was sparse, the greens that accompanied the baos were lettuce and not of the freshest sort. The lettuce was browning which indicates that it is aged. In terms of flavour, there is an absence of the flavour of lamb.Other table mates had curry which at other restaurants include rice (here you side order this and the rice is a large order), the chili chicken is overly salted.It was good for water service for which we were always topped up as there were 4 wait staff milling about.This restaurant is not a return option.

Tried Myanmar potato fries (must tryyy, their dip is to die for), burmese falafel, dynamite shrimp in appetizers. Everything was good and didn't disappoint. Tried khowsuey and the quality of food was really good. Price was slightly high for portions, but the quality of food was great. Will come back and try other items in menu!

Service was amazing! Came to have lunch with two friends and we all had children with us. The staff were very accomodating, they went out of their way to get us high chairs for the kids. The food was delicious too, we tried two different curries (one fish and one chicken, we liked the fish curry more) and the dynamite shrimp. Our friends ordered the bao buns and stir fried noodles. All were tasty. Highly recommend if you want to try something new, this was our first time trying Burmese cuisine. 100% would recommend and would go back again!

This restaurant is very clean and attractive. Service was slow but the place was busy when we went. Food is excellent! We loved the chicken curry with parata. The mutton curry was also very flavourful. We did not enjoy the desserts. Burmese food tastes like a mix of Bangladeshi and Thai. Would definitely go

First time trying Burmese food and it was delicious. The Khowsuey noodles came with a variety of exciting toppings that you can add as you eat and the mango pickled lamb curry was very aromatic. My only issue was that the curry dishes we ordered didn’t come with rice and we had to order rice separately.
Great food and a comfortable, warm ambience. The China town noodles were perfect - more like the chowmein one gets in India. My kid is very particular about food, and she devoured the noodles!!The kebat platter was great as well. Portions are good. All in all we had a good experience

Winterlicious 2024.Overall, I was a little disappointed with my experience. The service was fine, but I felt the portions and flavours were a bit lacking.I got the Steamed Lamb Leg Bao to start. I thought the lamb itself was tasty, but the ratio of filling to bao was off. Namely, there was not enough filling in relation to the size of the bao. Since the bao relies on the sauce and filling for flavour, it fell short and ended up tasting a bit dry/bland.For the main, I got the Chicken Khowsuey, and this was probably the best of the three dishes. It came with ~7 different toppings, and I appreciated the small trays they were placed in, so you could add/omit the toppings as you’d like. I felt this dish was the standout in terms of the flavours and textures. That being said, the chicken was quite dry and the portion size was too small for a main.The dessert was the most underwhelming of the three courses. I got the Chai Tea Cheesecake, and I could not make out any Chai flavour whatsoever — it tasted like a regular cheesecake. Moreover, the slice was tiny and it was made on top of the thinnest layer of cake “crust”, which ended up tasting soggy. A different choice of crust (i.e., graham cracker crust) could have elevated the cake. For something that costs $8 on their normal menu, I would advise against ordering this.All in all, I am curious about their other dishes, but I likely won’t return anytime soon. For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of flavour and portion, and I was underwhelmed.

We had dinner here upon the recommendation of a friend.It was our first experience with Burmese cuisine, and we were not disappointed. We were there on the final day of Winterlicious 2024 and availed ourselves of the $35 Prix Frixe menu (starter, main, and desert).All the food was delicious and the hot items arrived physically hot. The spicy food had a pleasant approachable heat, even for people who don't like spicy food. The fried lentil condiment was fantastic.Service was friendly, attentive, and quick. We were there at 5:30 so we were the only diners at the start.The ambience was nice, and the music was quiet enough for easy conversation.We would eat here again. (Hopefully, next time, they'll have the Burmese beer. Thankfully, the other tap selections were local craft beers: Steam Whisle Pillsner and Mill Street organic, both good pairings for the food. The wine list was decent, too.)Parking: Shopping mall parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Bayview Village Shopping Centre is entirely accessible.
