Golden Myanmar Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in Indianapolis

Burmese and Asian favorites served at reasonable prices in an surprisingly elegant atmosphere.

FOOD If you're not familiar with Burmese Tea ☕ It is similar to a very sweet, and a little creamy coffee.

We ordered the Samosa appetizer and they arrived piping hot and were a larger size than we expected. Crispy outside and savory, soft inside. Sauce that came with food dipping was unique and tasted savory with a mild spice level. Overall, we enjoyed it.

Mee Hoon Soup was mild in flavor and had fish balls and shrimp. I ended up adding some salt to taste as well as hoison.

Sabuti, which was a new dish for us, can be described as a brothy soup that lightly tastes of beef, esp. liver and that is one of the ingredients. There was also tripe in it as well. It comes with a couple more pieces of beef, like jerky, as well as a spicy side dish of leafy vegetables. Definitely recommend adding some of those veggies in the soup for taste as well as soaking the beef jerky. My partner ended up also adding some salt and msg (available in shaker on the table) for flavor.

SERVICE This was decent. Yes they speak English! We actually sat ourselves down when we first got there and it took a minute before the one staff person to notice us. Small restaurant, so not holding it against them. Otherwise, they were kind and checked on how we were doing and asked if we liked the food. They refilled our water.

VIBES I was happily surprised with how spacious and classy the interior was. They have chandeliers and classy art and metal colors. The only issue might be too many different sources of light making it a tad too bright, and we were not too into the music choice (Christian music...

The food is not bad, but the modis operandi of the place is funky. For one thing, they don't bring a check to your table. How were we supposed to know that? We waited 30 minutes after finishing our meal and no one checked in on us or delivered our check, so I tracked down our server only to be told that they don't provide a check. It seems that customers are supposed to know that they have to go to the back of the restaurant to pay their bill on an electronic screen of some sort that the employees don't know how to use. I was given a total that I owed, but no details, When I requested details, it took several minutes to get them, only to discover that they automatically add a charge card penalty. When I told them I was paying cash, they couldn't figure out how to get rid of the penalty, so the girl had the unmitigated audacity to tell me that I should go ahead and pay the charge card penalty, even though I was paying cash. When I refused, it took several more minutes for her to figure out what the total was without the penalty. The food isn't good enough to put up with that kind of nonsense, so we...

We really tried to like this place but it was one thing after another. The place looked beautiful but they have glass chandeliers and one was next to the air vent so the entire time we where there it was like wine glasses clanking in rapid succession none stop. The servers where nice but definitely a language barrier we had to keep repeating over and over we would ask for crab rangoon and they would say "ok that's one fried tofu" nope not even close.it was like that with the rest of the order too.we also asked for the food to not be made spicy and they accidentally made it spicy and we had to get new food. Then we got our food with no silverware and when the sever asked why we we're not eating I said we didn't get silverware and she looked at me like I was stupid and said the food is not done. I said no silverware and she said "soap" again looking at me like I was stupid so we had to mime eating with a fork befor they got it. It was vary frustrating from beginning to end. When we did get right food it was great tasting and best crab rangoon I ever had it was just a long journey...
