Bagan Burmese Kitchen — Restaurant in Los Angeles

A truly excellent dining experience! The owner’s sister explained so much to us about the food they offer that the experience was truly wonderful! We had mango chicken, tea leaf salad, beef curry, paratha bread, garlic noodles and a unique dessert. The mango chicken is similar to orange chicken but it actually has big chunks of mango! It was really good. The tea leaf salad is something I’ve never had before. It was good. It includes crunchy things that complement the salad well. The beef curry is pretty good too and not like Thai curry. The garlic noodles were very tasty and the dessert was really good too!

All that being said I would give it another shot because there were some interesting items on the menu and my friends seemed to like their dishes (but agreed the portions could be a...

I was really excited when I found this Burmese restaurant, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my hopes. I saw a cookbook for Burma Superstar displayed prominently near the entrance and assumed that the restaurant might have something to do with Burma Superstar in Oakland (which I love).

We ordered the tea leaf salad, rainbow salad, chicken curry, and a noodle dish. Everything just tasted the same—bland, too salty, and meh texture. The dried chili condiment was the only tasty thing we had.

This is LA, so it was disappointing given how many amazing restaurants there are and the deceivingly high ratings. Maybe it’s well rated because they offered a free dessert for a Google reviews.

Other than being affordable, it was a...
