Very normal and some terrible foods at inflated prices. This place is over-hyped and over-rated.
Really nothing special about this place, it does have air conditioned dinning room and many service staffs, but that is it.
The dinning room serves Myanmar foods in traditional way, you choose from prepared foods, they bring them to your table, you also get a plate of vegetables and small bowl of soup broth. You pay for the dishes of food you selected.
I chose a dish of stewed pork meat, a dish of small beans and bamboo shoot, a dish of tomato/onion/egg, and a dish of oil deep fried beef meat.
The beef meat was total garbage, no taste due to not marinated, deep fried in dirty blacken oil, all the beef meats were black as charcoal, tasted just like charcoal. Is this what people in Myanmar really eat? Price was either K3000 or K4200, for only little bits of meat. See photos and receipt.
Stewed pork was OK but nothing special, this is a very common dish everywhere in Myanmar, even on the streets where better quality can be found and for lower price. Price for about 3 small pieces of pork was K4000 or K3000, see receipt. Reasonable price at most is K2000.
The dish of small beans and bamboo shoots was OK, about K1000.
Dish of tomoto/onion/egg was about K1000.
The total cost for the meal was K10,000. Similar meal at other places in Myanmar, like in Mawlamyine, can be for about half the price. This price is a little high for Yangon, reasonable price should be K6000.
Money is not the real issue here, it is the mediocre food quality. The only reason any foreigner wants to eat here is the dinning room is somewhat comfortable and better decorated by Myanmar standard, staff service is good, but it is a poor quality restaurant by western standard, this place would not allowed in western nations.
There are many buffet style foods displayed at the front of this restaurant, and there are tables and chairs for customers by side of the road, I don't know if customers can choose foods from front and bring them to eat inside the dinning room. Looks like foods selected at the front are cheaper than foods selected inside the dinning room.
There are other restaurants next door, some of them may have better foods at lower prices, but I did not see any of them have air conditioned dinning room,...
Read moreI definitely agree with review that said that you will pay the foreigners price here and that you should rather ignore all the tourist guidebooks and find some place else. The selection was very small when we arrived at 7 PM, you couldn't see the prices before, you didn't get a menu, and you almost had to made up what you could want here... What was worse, my meal was served completely cold. I mean, would you really eat rice that seems to be rather taken out of a fridge than freshly boiled? And when I complained, noone seemed to understand my English, even when I tried very simply, with heavy hand gestures. The meal came out with some vegetables and dip, which was not really tasty. Yet, there is only one toilet (for male and female together) for the whole big restaurant. I do...
Read moreThe only good thing I felt about this place is that it's truly local. You dine with the locals in the most local way. But the food wasn't distinguished at all. The service was fine, waiters have minimal English knowledge but they try to help you. You order at the counter and they bring you the food so if you want to order again it's difficult. The place is mad crowded so you have no choice but to order in a hurry without knowing what's in the dish or how much it costs. It's not an expensive place so I didn't have any surprises with the cheque but the food didn't taste like they looked. I guess you could go there once for "the feel" as their name suggests...
