Queens Blvd with parking!…read more This small mom and pop rocks with the noodles dishes they offer. So far I really dig the garlic flavor vermicelli with chicken. Sticky garlicky smooth is how I'd classify these noodles with spring onion. I also tried the biryani special on weekends which has great umami but the rice was a bit hard for my taste. It may take a while during peak times but the food is great. If you are in a rush, they do take orders over the phone. It's also not often if at all that a restaurant on Queens Blvd has free onsite parking so bring your car too!

I have been meaning to try this place. It's relatively new and I find myself in the area fairly…read moreoften. I finally got the perfect opportunity to stop in yesterday and I wish I had done so sooner. The space is small, but clean and comfortable. I ordered the ginger salad and the rice pancake balls with quail egg and both items were prepared quickly. The ginger salad is incredible. It's like the most perfect salad I've ever eaten. Not exaggerating at all, this is one of the most delicious things I've had this year. I am a ginger lover, but I still wasn't sure what it would be like to eat this much ginger. This dish almost treats ginger like a vegetable and not just a seasoning. The textures of this dishes really make it stand out. There are so many different textures in here that create a complex and fascinating bite. The crisp, finely shredded cabbage and ginger make up the base, which is mixed with various crunchy nuts and seeds and soft juicy pops of diced tomato. The flavors in this dish are intense. This quantity of sinus clearing ginger would be inedible without being held in balance by a good deal of salt and seasoning in the dressing and the rich, earthy savoriness of the nuts and seeds. I was really amazed by this dish. It was outstanding. After the extreme bright salty flavor of the salad, the rice pancake balls don't pack quite the same punch. However, the quail egg in here is cooked beautifully. It came out warm, with a soft jammy center and the white was a soft silky jelly. The whole thing is surrounded by a slightly chewy layer of rice based pancake. The flavor of the rice comes through, and the exterior is slightly crispy. These had so much richness from that egg yolk. It was so savory and comforting even though I've never eaten anything like this before. Really looking forward to my next visit here as I found the two items I tried to be remarkable and outstanding.

The staff is friendly and always happy to make recommendations. I highly recommend the tea leaf salad and the chicken curry. The tea leaf salad is a must-try. It's a unique dish that combines fermented tea leaves with crunchy nuts, seeds, and vegetables. The flavors are complex and perfectly balanced. The chicken curry is also excellent. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and aromatic. In addition to the food, Burmese Bites also has a great selection of drinks. I recommend trying the yogurt shake. Despite it being a mall food kiosk....amazing ambiance!!!! Overall, Burmese Bites is a great place to get a delicious and affordable meal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different in the food court. I love this place.

I think the rice is just not what I'm used to eating, personally I wish it was a bit more flavorful. It was quite spicy though and the spice definitely built up the more rice I ate. The chicken thighs it came with were tender and I wished that they put more sauce on the rice. A good meal for about $13 in the food court.

My favorite of all time is the belachan morning glory 马来风光. Their version featured very fresh veggies with super flavorful, umami, onion-forward belachan sauce. The wok hei 锅气 was on point! The laksa was solid with a good balance of curry, lemongrass, and coconut flavors. Loved the noodles they used since they were plumpier and chewier than other nones I've had. Good ratio of tofu, fish cake, and shrimp. The beef rendang was saucier and lighter than ones I've typically had - but it worked! The beef pieces were also very tender! The chicken satay was very tender, well-seasoned, and lightly glazed with a good smokey flavor. The peanut sauce was a tad sweeter than I prefer but I still enjoyed it. The fried fish cake was very crunchy, albeit less fish than I thought there would be. Loved the no thrills, mom and pop shop vibes. Staff were kind and food came out quickly. Loved the aroma from the kitchen as well! Can't wait to go back to try other dishes!

Small Thai restaurant on the side street that does a lot of meals as well as Thai style desserts…read more This place only seats maybe 20-24 people at most and the tables are tiny so keep that in mind. I do wish the tables and seating were more comfortable-the tables are cute- they are made out of old singer sewing bases. However cuz the bases are narrow your knees constantly bump into it The chairs/benches are also very narrow so keep this in mind as you won't be sitting there long. The food was fairly priced for the portions and was cooked to order. I did wish that my fish dish was on the crispier side but it was very flavorful and pungent. The soup has a nice kick to it and our appetizer was delicious. Would def go back again to try more items.

I've been to this place a long time ago and the food was disappointing and bland. But a friend…read morewanted to try this place because she heard good things about it after they changed management. Since the place was very small we opted for take out. We ordered around 5 and the food didn't come till 6:30. When it arrived we had a feast. Unfortunately, since I didn't order I couldn't tell you what the names of the dishes were. I knew we had a curry chicken which was quite tender and flavorful. There was a flat noodle with seafood which was spicy. The was a preserved tea leaves salad that was very tasty. The pork neckl was interesting, a little sweet served with sticky rice. All the flavors were unique with some being spicy while others were mild. This restaurant has changed for the better.

Recommendations- Gin Thoke, Grilled Pork Neck, Latphat/Lahpet Thoke. Otherwise, A Kyaw Sone, if you…read moredon't mind a bit of oiliness, and the Pa Zun Chin, if you like shrimp paste cakes. I was at this Burmese place, which also sells some Thai food and other things, with a group relatively recently, where we shared a bunch of their thotes/athoke, or salads, as well as two other dishes. I think I remember going here one other time and getting either the Shan Khauk Swal Thoke or Nan Gyi Thoke, but I'm not positive, as it was a good while ago. The menu has gone through some changes over the years, but it's still reasonably priced. The service was friendly, and the vibes are casual, with the food being good overall, even if I prefer some other spots for Burmese food. To drink, I noticed a tea being ordered at another table and got an iced one, which I think was a very reasonable $3.50 or similar. It was refreshing and tasty with a mild sweetness from condensed milk and a strong tea flavor, and I would recommend it if you're a fan of similar drinks from the surrounding countries/South East Asia. Our only smaller dish that wasn't a salad was the A Kyaw Sone, a mix of fried vegetables with a tamarind chili sauce. As with most other dishes, there are small and large sizes, and we got the large, which was $14.99. The portion was quite large, with four different types of fritters and a very tasty dipping sauce, which had some sweetness and spiciness. In terms of the fritters, I was happy that the batter was light, but I did find them to be just a bit oily, with this especially being the case for the fried clump of greens. My favorite was probably the onion one, as I liked the light sweetness, and it felt a tad less oily. The larger ones, which each had a different filling, were also more unique with a soft inside. My favorite of the thoke/salads we tried was the Gin Thoke for the same price, with "gin" referring to pickled ginger, with there also being dried shrimp, crushed peanuts, garlic, and sesame seeds. The ginger added a sharp little bite, and there was otherwise a good mix of crunch. This was also the least dressed, which I liked a lot. While I prefer Little Myanmar for this athoke, it was still tasty and cheaper for the large portion size. Also for the same price was the Latphat, or Lahpet Thoke, with fermented tea leaves, tomato, cabbage, fried shrimp, crushed peanuts, fried garlic, sesame seeds, and a 100 minuscule distinct shift in crunch, was also tasty. This is the signature dish of Myanmar, along with mohinga (more on that later.) The portion was large, but this was the wettest version of this dish, which I wasn't the biggest fan of. Otherwise, there was a light fermented flavor and plenty of crunchy textures. Our last thoke was the Pa Zun Chin Thoke, with sour shrimp, green chili, cilantro, oil, and onion, which only has one size for $12.99. The person who ordered this expected it to be pieces of shrimp, but instead, I would describe it as fish cakes made from shrimp. The fish cakes reminded me of a fermented dish from Laos, which makes sense in hindsight, and I liked the texture. Otherwise, the dish had some kick and some saltiness. I know a few others disliked this, but I enjoyed it as well. The last dish we ordered as a group was the Grilled Pork Neck and Shoulder, served with papaya salad and sticky rice. This was the largest portion of any dish, which makes sense with the $20.99 price tag. The pork was very tender, and the papaya salad had a slight kick to it. I liked that there were two types of sticky rice, and the green sauce on the side, while not spicy, added some nice extra herbal and sour flavor when wanted. This was also tasty. To go, I decided to order a Mohinga, or Burmese Fish Noodle Soup, for $11.99. This consisted of thin rice noodles in a fish soup with ginger, lemongrass, onion, garlic, and fried rice powder served with hard-boiled egg, crispy split chickpea, cilantro, lemon, and crushed red chili. The dish was packaged nicely with the crunchy toppings and noodles separate from the soup. Compared to other places, I found it a little bit spicier, which I enjoyed, though it lacked a little bit of depth of flavor compared to Sophie's. It was also missing the crunch from the banana blossom flower. Otherwise, there was plenty of crunch, and the portion was quite large for the price. In terms of spots, I put it above Little Myanmar, below Sophie's/Burmese Bites, and way below the now-closed Yun Cafe. The food here was tasty, with a couple of issues. I found in general that the dishes were overdressed, and this was especially the case with the salads/athoke. While not my favorite Burmese place, the portions were large for the price, and the flavors were good.

Tender, juicy, no fluff. ​The MVP: The chicken heart. It was so good I had to double down and order a second round. If you know, you know. ​The Rice: Fragrant ginger rice that actually has flavor, paired with a radish broth that hits the spot. ​The Sauce Science: They let you mix your own. I went with the soybean paste + ginger-scallion combo. It's addictive. Do not skip the ginger-scallion. ​Washed it all down with a solid Thai tea to balance the heat.

4.5 We really liked…read morethe food here. Got the chicken set for 2. Each bite of chicken/gizzard/liver and rice with the condiments was flavorful. Wished there was more liver. Like a deconstructed and dry version of a filipino soup I love called Chicken Tinola, with similar ingredients too. The set came with soup - was mild and good. I added a bit of the ginger-scallion condiment and liked that too. I think it's the first time I tried Thai iced green tea - slightly sweet for me but lighter bec with half and half. Couldn't give this place a 5 stars though because of the heat. We went there when it was at least 90 degrees, and didn't know it wasn't air-conditioned. There was only 1 oscillating fan which was only ok when it was pointed at our direction. Once it turned, I had to keep fanning myself. The iced drink was refreshing but wasn't enough. We would have left if only we weren't set on trying their Hainan chicken. Will surely return, on a not so hot day. Service was great. Food came out quickly. It must've felt hotter for the staff being in the kitchen but they still had smiles. Nearest train station is Elmhurst Ave stop of M, R and some bus lines along Broadway, but not too far from Roosevelt Ave-Jackson Hts station. Has 4 small tables, and counter seating for 3. No restroom. Cash only.

At least their waiting system is efficient with buzzers. Would probably skip next time.

Duck noodle was not disappoint. Kuay tiew kaak- curry noodle with rice noodle, chicken, bean sprouts, egg, and peanuts was a good reminiscence. The curry itself was very thick which makes this dish heavy. This was the same as before. Kao soy chicken was a bit different. It used to be bone in thigh, which was the highlight of the dish. Now it is boiled chicken pieces. Something is not the same with the taste either but the dish is still good. Breaded shrimp was very crispy!
