As a UNC alumni of Chin background who had always wished to see Burmese cuisine more accessible for the UNC community to try, I was so excited when I found out about this restaurant, so I came with high expectations.
The Pad Gra Pao was an amazing portion size for the price! I was so happy to see the beef pad gra pao made from ground beef like how I like it (which thai restaurants here don’t do). I do think it was a bit sweeter than the typical Pad Gra Pao I’ve had though, and didn’t taste the pungent savory flavor that I usually love from Pad Gra Pao even when ordering thai hot. This could be because of the day I went though!
Coconut noodle / Khao Swe was great and compared to the high prices for the dish in surrounding Thai restaurants, it is a decent portion!
The Pad Thai during this visit had a different and thinner type of noodle used than usual medium-size noodle in Pad thais, and wasn’t as saucy as usual either. Other google reviews do seem to have it looking more saucy and the usual noodle size though so it could’ve just been this visit! The flavor itself was still good though.
Paratha appetizer (shown in photo, one piece already eaten by us) was sooo good and tasted very authentic, highly recommend for those new to burmese cuisine.
Note that since this was my only visit some of the flavors could also be from the specific day I went. There’s also a Student discount with your ID card! Hopefully the next visit will be even better! The staff were super friendly and I wish the best to the restaurant in...
Read moreRoad to Myanmar is one of those rare restaurants that just makes you feel thankful it exists. The food is so authentic and full of flavor, every bite feels like it’s made with love. It’s the kind of cooking that reminds you food can be both comforting and exciting at the same time😋
What really touched me, though, were the people. The staff are unbelievably kind and welcoming as there’s a genuine warmth in the way they treat you, like you’re a guest in their home rather than just a customer. You can tell they care deeply about what they do, and that energy fills the whole space.
The vibe is cozy, inviting, and just makes you want to stay a little longer. I walked out not only full, but grateful that Chapel Hill has such a beautiful place that brings people together through amazing food and genuine...
Read moreThis place was probably one of the best cuisines I’ve ever been to. Already as we went in the staff greeted us and they were so nice and welcoming. When our food came we were immediately blown away at how beautifully presented and flavorful our food was. We all tried a different dish and each dish was packed with rich flavors and tasted so savory. I would definitely recommend trying their Coconut Noodles and Pad Thai. Whether you grew up trying Burmese cuisine are not, this place is hands down a go to spot to eat and enjoy their dishes and I’ll definitely be...
