Cherry Burmese — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I don't know.

I don't know how we got so lucky to find this hidden gem.

We had an outstanding dinner at Cherry Burmese. The modest-looking eatery packs a lot of flavour and value into every dish. Our meals were so tasty that we orderd again, and once more to takeaway a portion away for later. The service was quick and friendly, and I was surprised by how affordable everything was. After trying many restaurants during two months in Thailand, I’d easily place this in my top five.

Despite this range, prices remain very modest with around 150 baht per person. We ended up spending 800 baht, because I ate for 3 people, my wife had her own share, and we took 3 meals to go.

Signature dishes: Tea leaf salad, duck curry. Value: Meals start around 90 baht, making it easy to try several dishes without overspending. Service: Friendly and efficient; your food arrives quickly. Ambience: Casual spot serving Burmese, Indian and Thai dishes with some vegan-friendly options.

Overall, Cherry Burmese nails the basics: flavourful food, quick service and great value. It’s no surprise many travellers put this restaurant on their...

Burmese food honestly doesn’t get enough credit, and some of my absolute favorites are the noodles, tea, and kyoutpyint salad.

The noodles are pure comfort—soft, flavorful, and always cooked with just the right mix of spices and toppings. Whether it’s in a rich broth or a simple stir-fry style, they hit the spot every single time.

And the tea—oh, Burmese tea is on another level! Creamy, slightly sweet, and strong enough to give that cozy kick. Having a cup feels less like just drinking tea and more like being part of a tradition.

Kyoutpyint salad is such a unique dish too. Made with thin rice sheets, fresh veggies, roasted chickpea powder, lime, and garlic oil—it’s light, crunchy, tangy, and super refreshing. It’s the kind of salad you actually get excited to eat.

Together, these dishes show how amazing Burmese food really is—simple, flavorful, and totally satisfying. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re seriously...

Perfect! No wonder this restaurant is popular not only among Myanmar people but also with non-Burmese people.

I've missed delicious Burmese cuisine for three years. I walked to this restaurant from my restaurant for about 20 minutes. It's about 7-minute walk from the Mae Kha Canal. It's a family restaurant whose chef is the father and the customers are served by his decent and friendly children. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, the owner's son politely ushered me to the unoccupied table and took the order. The orders are prepared very promptly and served shortly. They asked me, "How do I like it?" I answered, "Perfect." Thank "Cherry Burmese" for this amazing meal and I look forward to another meal here.

I ordered Mala Xianguo, fish curry, plain rice and a soup of roselle, bamboo shoots and lady fingers. All satisfied my tongue....
