Shwe Taung Rice Bowl and Burmese Restaurant — Restaurant in Arcadia

This is a Burmese place that opened not long ago! It's under new management and does not have Japanese food anymore (they did before).

I was able to share a bunch of dishes amongst ten adults. Here is what we ordered (to the best of my memory): -mutton biryani $17.99 - so good!! Get this!! -khao soi tote $11.99 - This was very good. We may have gotten two orders of this. -royal tea leaf salad $13.99 - This was my personal favorite. I absolutely love all the flavors and textures. I would get this again and again. -fish cake salad $12.99 - This was popular in the group, but I enjoyed the tea leaf salad more. -fried tofu - eh, I could skip this. -noodle with pork (I don't know the name, but the meat balls were tasty)

The server dude was real kind. We were the only group at the time, so he gave us a lot of attention. He spoke Burmese with one of the members in our group. He gave us free ice cream and let us pick the flavors!

There is free...

We were a bit nervous about trying Burmese food for the first time but the server was very kind, and explaining which items he liked. He gave us time to think about our orders, and came over once we rang a little bell at the table (neat idea!). The food was excellent! I got some garlic noodles with chicken and it was so damn good. My dad said the teriyaki chicken was the best teriyaki he has had. My brother loved his beef curry and my mom enjoyed her coconut noodle soup! They did have to do some replacements since they ran out of ingredients but that makes sense since it was so tasty! Wonderful experience, would be back and wishing this...

Enjoyed their Royal Tea-Leaf salad. Always get this dish at any Burmese restaurant. So many great fresh flavors and textures once all mixed up together.

Beef Briyani was a favorite of my wife. Paratha was light, crispy, and quickly devoured by my kids while still warm. Had to try the Mohinga, unique to Myanmar tradition. All food with comforting home-cooked feel and nicely balanced.

New owner and staff accommodating and friendly. Kept prior Japanese menu so now can travel thru East Asia to South Asia with their varied offerings representing the entire wide region all in...
