Top notch Burmese food! We hunt for great Burmese places all over the USA and abroad, and this is a great one! Food quality and variety here are very good. What makes this place special are the hard working owners, we’d never met before but they were very gracious and fun to talk to, especially about cooking Burmese. They do the cooking and everything else, but service was still fairly quick. Most of their business is take out, but they had some informal outdoor seating which we used. I love Nan Gyi Thoke (“big noodle salad”) and theirs is excellent, spicy with nice chicken and sauce and big thick noodles just like one gets in Mandalay, Myanmar. So good, honestly I almost cried for joy eating it! Their Mohinga soup and Lahpet Thoke (tea leaf salad) are also authentic and so tasty. People of Lansing: while here, we met a few of you who know and love this place, but please know you have the real deal on Burmese food here, come...
Read moreDon't be fooled by the drab exterior or lowkey décor inside-- this place is an absolute gem. I have eaten here several times (different dishes each time) and never been disappointed. The prices are cheap for reasonably large portions; I almost always take home leftovers. There is an interesting mix of Thai, Burmese, and Vietnamese options on the menu. There is both a picture menu and a text menu, which is cool. I highly recommend the pickled tea leaf salad! They also have a variety of tasty smoothies.
Since this place has become more and more popular, you can count on a longer wait during busy times (i.e. lunch rush). I wouldn't go here if you're in a hurry, but this is a brilliant place to go for lunch.
p.s. If you ask for mild, medium, spicy-- you're gonna get it. Regardless of what level you request for your food, they almost always bring a small side of chili & oil and there are hot sauces on the...
Read moreI have a new favorite restaurant! This small family run restaurant is very inviting and while business is brisk, it never felt crowded or rushed. As soon as we walked in the door the intriguing blend of aromas was amazing. Even as a party of five were seated right away.
In addition to our regular menus our server brought us a delightful album with pictures of each dish on the menu so we knew exactly what to expect if we wanted to try something new. The menu is extensive enough to suit a wide variety of tastes without being overwhelming, and each of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. If you ask for mild it actually is mild and if you ask for spicy, that's what you get.
Whether you lean toward Burmese, Malaysian or Thai cuisine, the dishes are spot on and taste authentically home made. Each plate was beautifully presented, the portion sizes were generous, all at a very reasonable price point. This...
