Flavor was on the lighter side, but nevertheless delicious. They interestingly used mini tofu, which is even smaller than a pea. Hubby tried Burmese Garlic Noodle with chicken. The garlic flavor was powerful enough without being overpowering. We enjoyed the food. I had Burmese Tea for the first time, fully expecting it to taste like Thai Tea, but it was more like (Hong Kong) milk tea which I like. Service was ok. It was a holiday weekend & not busy. Only 1 person was on the floor. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and not the best area. Parking is limited on the ground floor, The day we visited, the underground level was closed.

The noodles were somewhat cold and clumped together making it hard to mix and separate. It reminded me of stale instant noodles. A little bland by itself but with the spicy sauce at the side of the table, it added that extra flavor I think it needed. The tea salad was good as well but I can see how it could be better. It was interesting having a salad mixed with tea leaves and left a good taste. The tea was subtle and not over powering. It was all just a bit mushy once mixed together. I guess I expected the veggies to be a little more fresh and crisp. Overall, I enjoyed being able to try out new foods and experience a new cultures cuisine but I just left feeling like I needed more in terms of satisfaction. The ambience was nice. Rustic, dim and homey vibes with some additional spices and things you could buy in the front. There is also plenty of parking in the lot when we came for dinner. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 3.9/5

There seems to only be one server so things can take some time but otherwise, the service is good! It's located in a small strip mall with relatively easy parking but some spots can be a bit tight. The interior is simple but definitely "mom and pop" vibes. We ordered Fried Ogo Squash, Paratha with Peas, and Tea Leaf Salad for starters and Prawn Curry and Gravy Rice as mains dishes. All the starters were delicious choices and, although the paratha was a little oily, it went super well with the peas and curry. The prawn curry was a flavor explosion with the prawns being perfectly cooked and the gravy rice was packed with veggies and a good amount of gravy. Some people in our party are vegetarian and everything besides the prawn curry were good choices for them. For desserts and drinks, we ordered RC Trio Delight, Smashed Strawberry Drink, and Rangoon Milk Tea. The RC Trio was a little on the sweet side but refreshing and the smashed strawberry was a delicious yogurt drink filled with strawberry. The Rangoon milk tea is delicious and a not too sweet option. 10/10 would recommend. Already thinking about the next time we come back.

    I was excited to try this place as we love Burmese food and love to try it while travelling,…read morebecause it's developed differently in each place outside of Myanmar. Jasmine sounded unique since it's a Muslim Myanmar restaurant and there were dishes I've never seen before, and also others with Indian and Chinese influences. But in the end everyone was disappointed with the food and even left food behind instead of taking it to our hotel. We actually went for ice cream afterwards to congratulate ourselves on getting through it. Jasmine has a lovely shaded patio. You place your order at the counter with a guy who's really nice. There are only two menus and the images are faded and extremely hard to read. The best dishes (but still not great) Potato samosas - nothing special Keema paratha - This bread, filled with ground chicken, was fine but not my kind of thing. Plain naan - unusual in that it was flakier than usual. Pan Thay Kwak Swe - thick wheat noodles with chicken drumsticks. This wasn't really anything special. Avoid Tea Leaf Salad. I've had lots of tea leaf salads but never any that I didn't want to eat any more of. The flavor was too pickled. It was also spicier than usual. (I don't mind spice but didn't love the flavor.) Pae Late (J's Special). This dish consists of thin lentil fried dough in broth with chicken. Unfortunately the dough was totally soggy which ruined this dish. I didn't like the flavor of the broth either. No one wanted more of this dish, nor did anyone want to take it home. It would be much better if the fried stuff was served on the side for the customer to add like when I have samosa soup. My family of Burmese food enthusiasts now likes to cite this restaurant as a bad place I had us eat during our trip to LA.

    There aren't many Burmese food options around here. We drive by Yoma Myanmar several times a day…read moreand have always been curious about it. We've thought about going a few times, but something always came up, or it was Sunday when they're closed. We had a school event at our son's school, and we really didn't want more PTA pizza. Our son wanted McDonald's, but we asked him to try something new, and I'm so glad we did. He loved it so much and already wants to come back! I noticed there was a coupon available on Restaurant.com for Yoma Myanmar, but the owner informed me they are no longer accepting them and have already contacted the site to be removed. I was initially bummed because the coupon was a great deal and I'd already purchased it, but its always a good idea to double check before ordering. I'm certainly glad I did! I asked for recommendations, and the owner was wonderful - she explained the menu, which regions of Myanmar the dishes originated from, and what she thought we would enjoy. We decided to start off with some Fried Samusas ($14.99) and the Tea Leaf Salad ($16.99). For our entrees, we shared two mains: the Beef Curry ($19.99) and the Shan Noodle Soup ($15.99). The owner was so sweet; I think she felt bad about the coupon situation because she gave us some complimentary rice and a Coconut Jelly for dessert. The Fried Samusas were quite good and a perfect appetizer to share. I've always known Samusas to be of Indian origin, but the Burmese style is smaller and crispier, featuring a milder blend of spiced potatoes, onions and lentils. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the dipping sauce served on the side is quite spicy and serves as a great complement to the samusas. The Tea Leaf Salad is a crunchy, savory Burmese dish made with fermented tea leaves, assorted nuts, toasted sesame seeds fried yellow split peas, fried garlic and chopped tomatoes. I loved the texture of this dish; it was highly addictive, and I couldn't stop eating it! The flavor profile is a wonderful mixture of savory, sour, and earthy notes. This is definitely a dish I recommend giving a try. The Beef Curry was smothered in a rich sauce was absolutely delicious - it was my wife's favorite dish. She even mentioned that she'd definitely come back for this dish alone. The meat was incredible tender and flavorful. Shan Noodles is a popular Burmese dish originating from the Shan State, made with rice noodles. The garnish includes toasted peanuts, sesame seeds, fried garlic, chopped cilantro, and green onions. We chose pork as our protein, and it was a solid dish that both my son and I really enjoyed. Because the noodles are served dry with the soup on the side, you can add the broth to tailor the dish exactly to your liking. This is a hidden gem in Monterey Park that is well worth visiting. We'll definitely be back to order these favorites again and explore more of the menu.

We had to get our own water, and the only service provided was that the staff brought the food to our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the checkout process. I handed my credit card to the server, and when he returned, he simply gave me the receipt without asking for my signature or explaining any additional charges. It was only after reviewing the receipt that I discovered a 15% gratuity had already been added automatically. For a dining experience that involved little more than food delivery to the table, I do not believe an automatic 15% gratuity is justified. More importantly, it was not clearly disclosed beforehand. Charging a mandatory 15% gratuity for a party of only three people feels more like a hidden fee than a fair charge based on the actual level of service provided.

The first thing that stood out to us was the incredibly friendly and attentive service. They were constantly checking in on us and made sure everything was to our liking. Onto the food, we ordered the tea leaf salad, samusas, and tea leaf lamb. Wow. Every dish was delicious! I'm usually not a fan of samosas because of how dense they are, but the samusas were perfect. They are wrapped in a fried and crispy shell and were so much lighter. The tea leaf salad was a must get as well. So many different textures between the pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and greens. The tea leaf lamb was suuuper tender and not gamey at all. The sauce was flavorful and perfectly coated the meat. This restaurant is a total gem and we cannot wait to come back!
