    Burmese noodle salad
    Yingbo W.

    My bf is from the Bay Area and misses the Burmese food from there. We got the tea leaf salad and Burmese Noodle Salad and were very happy with it. Bf also ordered a chicken biryani and while it had south East Asian flavors and not like a strictly Indian biryani he enjoyed it. The noodle salad reminded me of what my childhood Burmese friend's mom used to make at home. I have not had authentic Burmese food for over 25 years and this was a welcome reintroduction to Burmese food! I didn't like the weird texture of the fried burmese tofu, tasted mushy like potato patties, and the green Pandan coconut milk dessert was just okay. Over all the quality of the stable foods and service was great and food tasted homemade, made with love! The owners were very nice and allowed us to dine in with our well behaved dogs even though the place was indoors. We called ahead. They even offered our dogs water although we declined because the dogs tend to knock bowls over. The place was not busy at all on a Sunday night. The parking lot outside had a bunch of 30 min parking only spots on a Sunday but we parked there for an hour and it was fine. I have yet to try Jasmine Market in Culver City, heard that is good as well but this place is pretty authentic and solid if you're craving Burmese!

    I was in the mood for Burmese tea leaf salad, and with timing on my side (I had to take my Mom to an appointment a couple of miles away) THIS was the place! Granted, it's the only one I found close enough... We came through an hour into opening so I didn't fret about a wait to get seated. It was empty when we walked in. That was a good thing because as first timers, we knew we were gonna take a minute before we decide what to get. What I do know is we were gonna go for the tea leaf salad and the mohinga. So, Mom is a pork fiend and with two different (albeit similar) types they offered, we decided to get both. (She couldn't make up her mind!) We also went for the egg rolls to start. We placed our orders up front and had our choice of seating. Interesting enough, on one corner, they have an arts and gems area - sorta like a makeshift mini-jewelry kiosk. There was nothing in 'em, though... EGG ROLLS: Made to order HOT. Crispy and crunchy delicious. The filling was almost hearty. I don't even think I even bothered with the dip, they were good on their own! TEA LEAF SALAD: We aren't fans of jalapeños, so I'm glad they didn't didn't mix it in - much easier to take it all out at once. (Gotta make a mental note to have it omitted next time.) I've had my share of this from plenty of places. The one here, like the rest, had that similar essence, aroma, taste and texture. However, I felt there's something missing from it. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious, but the umami wasn't as poppin' as I had hoped. I'd still recommend it, though! MOHINGA: This was on point! The flavor was rich and deep and really hearty! It's one of those soups or stews to have most especially on a cold rainy day. The pea crackers added a good texture. If there's anything to order at a Burmese spot, it's this! And the tea leaf salad! PORK BELLY STEW: The pork was cooked soft and tender. The broth had a lot of flavor and depth. The seasonings and spices they used are well-balanced! BRAISED PORK BELLY: Prepped similar as the pork belly stew, the flavors are kinda similar but the sour mustard leaves and the Chinese 5 spice altered the overall taste. This too was prepped well. FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 4. Staff was friendly and patient and service with a smile is always a plus, but had to knock a star down for one reason: all our food came out all at once, and it ended up filling up our small table. We barely had wiggle room for... well... anything, really. We would have much preferred to get the app, salad and soup and enjoy them first before getting our main courses. And really, there was no reason to rush our orders - we were the only ones there. Oh, and serving spoons and bowls would come in really handy. I hope they take note of that. VALUE: 4. PARKING: Shared with other businesses. There's a parking lot and underground parking available as well. If that's still an issue (most likely won't be - there's plenty of spots downstairs) there's also street parking. OVERALL: 4. The restaurant was more than half filled with customers when we neared the end of our experience, so they kinda have a following. We enjoyed our visit, I'll admit! It hit that Burmese-food-craving spot. Will make another stop should I find myself around here AND have that craving once again.

Pickled cucumber with hot sauce on top 4. Crispy tofu, shrimp, and vegetables 5. Food from the rack: Instant rice vermicelli, dried chicken, dried shrimp They also have a little rack for Burmese local food and snacks. And their beautiful handcrafted arts.

    Bagan Burmese Kitchen is a southeast Asian eatery in Los Angeles serving authentic Burmese meals from apps (paratha) and salads (tea leaf) to curries, noodles, and soups (e.g. coconut curry noodle soup). Cool fact: Bagan is an ancient city and a UNESCO world heritage site. AMBIANCE: Interior seating only with an outdated feel (acoustic ceiling tiles). SERVICE: Staff were friendly and helpful when I called for a late-night, close-to-closing, take-out order and pick up from the register. FOOD 5/5 Tea Leaf Salad (savory, spicy, crunchy, crisp, bright): A Burmese National Dish made with a savory fermented tea leaf and oil dressing with fresh red and green cabbage, crunchy/crispy roasted nuts, seeds, dry shrimp, diced tomato, spicy jalapeño slices, and a lime wedge for acidity. Salad craving satisfied! PARKING There's an ample one-direction of travel parking lot for patrons.

    Nan Gyi Noodle w Chicken.  great
    Danny M.

    Popped in to try it out, and thoroughly enjoyed the Nan Gyi Noodle, an Udon style noodle dish with a savory curry-ish sauce. Very good. Also had samosas, and they were for the most part average, but the dipping sauce was very good. Kinda sweet and savory at the same time.

    N3. Shan Noodle
    Aneesa M.

    Service was great but I wish they had AC and better decor- they had jewelry store cabinets without anything in them for some reason. We enjoyed the food but the multitude of options made ordering confusing for a first timer; our server got us through fine though. Chicken curry paratha- 7/10. VERY flaky but also very greasy. I also expected the curry to be thicker than it was. Shan noodles- 7/10. A little too funky for my taste I really hope this place updates their menu and general vibes to make it more comfortable. I really want them to succeed so I'm bumping up my review to 4 stars instead of 3.

    Burmese food in Silver Lake! Don't forget Yelp check-in offer! You order at the counter, but if they're not busy and want to eat in they can set up order at table. There is a discount if you order through their direct portal. There's some parking in front of the restaurant but there is ample free parking in the underground lot. The QR code at the table takes you to an online ordering portal that has photos for most of the food, but the paper menus have some. If you had other southeast Asian foods before like Thai you may see some familiar kinds of foods like coconut based curries, noodle and rice dishes, sweet rice desserts, as well as Burmese takes on fries and wings. Let the host know if you have allergies. They let us know what's in each dish. My first foray into Burmese food is the tea leaf salad which is hard to find at Asian marts. We had to ask Burmese friends to get us the ingredients. So we just had to order it here to see if our homemade interpretations match. It was tasty! It did come with dried shrimp and jalapeños which we haven't added before so it made a nice heat. We also got Burmese garlic noodle with tofu and coconut noodle soup with chicken. Be aware both are noodle heavy! Both are quite fragrant and flavorful. Great options! The coconut curry has a nutty sweet taste while the garlic noodles has a great garlic flavor lingering on your tongue with each bite. We came on a Sunday even and were the only guests but there was a steady stream of pick up orders and delivery drivers.

    A9. Paratha W/Coconut Curry Dip
    Janelle L.

    Well hello Burmese food, nice to find you here in this little strip mall of Silver Lake. Seems like an interestingly ethnic find for this area. We were trying to go to Daybird but they close at 6:30 so we decided to give Bagan a little nibble. We ordered the cashier's favorite noodles, Si Chat Kyaut Swe, the garlic noodles and added pork. I asked if they made their own noodles (because in my experience a lot of places like this do), but they don't. There were a few pieces of pork added but could have used double the amount. The pork bits were chopped up roasted pork with crispy skin. YUM! If you know, you know. The second item we tried was the paratha with coconut curry. This thin layered bread is so good! I think it's thin pan fried dough, there was a tasty layer of grease dripping from the edges. We opted for the coconut curry dip (vs the beef or chicken) for the flavor. It was tasty, i could have easily dipped a couple more pieces to the paratha to into that sauce. If Daybird is closed again, I'd definitely eat here again and give a few more dishes a try. Parking after 7 pm was easy. I've been to this mall during the day, parking at that time is not fun.

    R13. Lamb Curry with Potatoes
    Connie C.

    Very chill spot, feels like a mom and pop place. Friendly service. I saw families, friends, and solo diners here. I used to go to silver lake spa, which is in the same plaza. Parking in the underground garage is free & usually fairly plentiful. A tea leaf salad is a Burmese food must. I felt it was too salty, as were most of the items. However, my friend loved all of it so maybe it's just me. My fav dish was the lamb curry - hard to go too salty on something like that! The meat wasn't too tough either. The noodle w/ curry chicken was good too... good balance with creamy curry in there. I enjoyed my Burmese grass jelly drink - pictured here with pandan added. If only we'd left room for dessert... I live close by so, next time! Btw it's the same restaurant as mala city dry pot, so don't get confused and just go on in! I need to try that next time too.

    The food at Bagan was really delicious! We had some classic Burmese dishes such as the Tea Leaf Salad, Paratha with Coconut Curry, Mango Chicken, and the Nan Gyi Noodle. All of the food was super authentic. Moreover though, the owner here was incredibly kind and was so informative of everything in the menu and also considerate to check if anyone had eating restrictions. Outstanding food and outstanding service - there's nothing more you can ask for and we had a great meal here!

    Crispy goat with Coconut Rice
    Kimberly H.

    First time having Burmese food and it was delicious, very flavorful! Mango salad- lots of flavor I've never had before and good spice level. Light and refreshing, paired well with coconut rice. Crispy goat- my husband loves goat and he said he can never find and restaurant that serves goat, lots of crispy garlic slices. Also paired well with coconut rice. Gyoza pork- very crispy and plump filling. Lychee drink and Burmese grass jelly was delicious too, very sweet but nice after the meal! Very friendly and nice service

    S11. Fish Chowder Noodle Soup (Mohinga)
    Alison T.

    Running a few errands, I stopped by for a quick lunch. I'd only eaten Burmese food one other time, so by no means am I an expert, but the dishes were flavorful and filling. A couple of men were seated in the dining room when I arrived, and the woman behind the counter let me choose where I wanted to sit. I sat at a table near the window. I scanned a QR code for the menu and decided on Fish Chowder Noodle Soup, fries topped with chicken curry and a hot Burmese tea. The food was served hot, with the fries coming out shortly before the soup. I couldn't finish it all and took the leftovers home (the dishes were decent when reheated, but I'd recommend eating it fresh if possible). Parking is a little tight at tricky intersection. It's easiest to enter the lot from Beverly Boulevard coming from Koreatown toward Silverlake.

    Must try Burmese restaurant.  I had Shwe Taung noodle, a cup of sweet Indian tea and paratha with curry dip.
    khine l.

    I finally found a decent Burmese restaurant that I can proudly recommend to my friends. Since I grew up in Burma, people often ask me where they can go eat Burmese food in LA area. My answer was always the same, no comment. I ordered paratha with curry dip, Shwe Taung noodle and a cup of sweet Indian Tea. All dishes were very yummy.

    Levant Bistro (the bakery part has merged with the actual restaurant) is so special. My friend and…read moreI planned to meet here for Lebanese brunch on a gorgeous Saturday. It was such an unforgettable and refreshing experience. Chef Anita has such a vision. Every detail was well thought of, from the outdoor patio dining surrounded by olive bushes to the indoor wooden and oak touches with Fairouz playing overhead. What's even better is EVERY single dish is labelled clearly for allergy diners! AHHHH as a nut allergy girly this had me geekin. All the celiac diners can enjoy their dining experience without any triggering fears as well. I went with their famous Lebanese egg pie and my friend got the grilled salmon plate. We shared the ful mudammas, my fave dish. The gluten-free pita bread def changed my brain wiring. I don't enjoy gluten-free food, and I was drooling. The pita was pillow soft, like how do you do that? Magic, I tell you. The egg pie was SO special. Pillow soft as well and super filling. The flavors of every dish were legendary. We couldn't stop talking about the colors, the plating, the top tier service. Everything about Levant deserves to be raved about. Come one come all. Def coming to Levant next time I'm in Echo Park.

We arrived midday on a Sunday and we're promptly sat, having been given the option for patio or indoor. We chose the patio, and between the clematis, lantana, and olive trees it is a very lovely setting in which to enjoy a meal. We were promptly brought a bottle of cold water and glasses, and our beverage orders were taken. I had a honey lavender latte with oat milk, and my husband had Lebanese coffee (no milk no sugar.) my latte was fragrant, the perfect temperature, and just the right amount of sweet. The Lebanese coffee was smooth, floral without being perfume, and excellent. We started with the falafel and the batata harra. Both absolutely excellent. For our entrees we selected the shakshuka and the Lebanese egg pie. Both were also excellent. Everything was well cooked, well presented, flavorful without being overwhelmed by any component. We took home a baklava tart, because we simply did not have the ability to eat more at the table. It was tender, moist, not too sweet, the pistachio flavor coming through as nutty and grassy, seriously so good! And it's worth noting, this whole restaurant is gluten free. I would not have realised if I had not known ahead of time. The texture of the pita with the shakshuka was exactly what one would expect, as was the bread of the egg pie. The pastry of the tart was flakey and delicious. And having said all of that, the service is what puts it above and beyond. Everyone was warm and pleasant, and seemed to genuinely appreciate the compliments. Staff seemed like they liked their jobs, which for me is always a good sign.
