    Shan Noodle w/ Chicken
    May H.

    Hidden gem; the food was immensely electric. No frills or fluff, small, and homey. What originated as a small shop at a subway station, Little Myanmar has now opened a small shop. It's rare to find authentic Burmese food anywhere and it's even more rare to find authentic and delicious Burmese cuisines. Highly recommend the Mohinga, Tea Leaf Salad and the Shan Noodles! All the dishes were vibrant, bursting with flavor and savory to the max. Mohinga: fishy, savory, thick and comforting. Tea Leaf Salad: excellent flavor combinations and a must try for those wanting to experience a popular Burmese dish. Shan Noodles: savory, filling, and bursting with intricate flavors. None of the dishes tasted instant and it was as if a loving Burmese aunty had made it in the back of the kitchen. The flavors transported me back home and reminded me of my dad's cooking. Portions are great and price is incredible for the amount that you get. Service was quick and everything came out in a timely manner. I will say the Duck Egg Curry is a bit small for what you pay for everything else was fab. For what it's worth and the quality and taste of authentic Burmese dishes, I'm surprised is not well known.

    Shan Noodle w/ Chicken

    Small little hole in the wall place, I originally had pretty high hopes since it seemed like a very "hidden gem" mom and pop shop types, but overall the whole experience was very mediocre at best. Service wasn't very great, there weren't many customers in the store and it was still really hard to get the staffs attention - they were constantly in the back and never checked in on us without us first doing something to get their attention. They seemed annoyed to have to bring us the bill. Food was also very mediocre, I asked them what was in the fish noodle soup that I ordered and they said noodles and fish but there wasn't a single piece of fish in it. The roti and pratha we ordered also seemed store bought. Would not recommend the pratha, it was extremely dry and hard to eat. I did like the flavor of the soup and the shan noodles, but unfortunately those were the only highlights of the meal.

    The food was delicious! The seating area was small but clean and bright with window, and servers were kind and helpful. There were a couple tables outside as well.

    Tea Leaf Salad with Anchovies, Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup, Goat Curry, Samosa Salad with Bean Soup

    Mainly writing this review to recommend one dish, Thin Rice Noodle Salad (forgot to photograph it, as it came out later). It's savory, sweet, sour, spicy--just all-around very flavorful! Tea Leaf Salad with added Anchovies: I'd love to try this again without the anchovies, which are crunchier than I expected and took away from the dish's texture otherwise. Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup: reminds me of American chicken noodle soup, so if you're looking to try new flavor palettes, I'd encourage other dishes on the menu Samosa Salad with Bean Soup: very homey and comforting. Feels like mom would make this on a sick day. Not the most exciting but not bad whatsoever. Call ahead for large parties/RSVP even for 2 if you can. Tiny space but worth the squeeze. Cash only.

    Chicken Paratha
    Adhrit S.

    The food was pretty good. I really enjoyed the chicken paratha and yellow chicken egg noodles. The other items we ordered like the Bhurmese paratha were okay. It's a small little shop with 4 small tables. It's cash-only so keep that in mind d

    I've become more of a spice guy recently. Over the past year my order from the local Thai spot went from mild to medium to hot spice level and I've been feeling myself I can't even lie. I think it's the Mexican blood running through this 5'10 174lb frame. I bought this habanero sauce from Trader Joes 2 nights ago thinking nothing of it. "Pfffttt how hot could this be? I'm like that now..." It ended up going scorched earth on my food and made it completely inedible. I couldn't breath because it was so hot. Fast Forward to last night, I found myself in the authentic Burmese hole in the wall restaurant that is Little Myanmar, the waitress asking me in her heavy accent if I want my Mala Xiang Guo normally spicy or extra spicy. "Okay but how spicy is extra spicy? Like really spicy?" I inquired. She smiled, nodded, and said "very spicy!" I backed down and opted to go normal spicy and thank GOD I did. When the Mala Xiang Guo came, I was in a fight for my life with this heat. I would randomly interrupt my big bro with a heavy cough and a quick reach for the water to battle the heat. I really should have asked for some milk lol. I still ate the whole thing because it was DELICIOUS in a masochistic way, but this was the absolute limit for my spice level. It was a dog fight. Think Timothee Chalamet vs Austin Butler in Dune 2. For you dorks who don't know what Mala Xiang Guo is (this was my first time eating it), it's a spicy stir-fry hot pot: An amalgamation of noodles, meat, seafood, and assorted veggies in a spicy mala sauce. Damn, I can't stop working "amalgamation" into these reviews my fault. All in all, my big bro got the chicken curry and that was the move. I had one bite and was like yup, that's what I should've got. Man in the Arena though. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    Burmese Crepe
    Wendy B.

    Tea Leaf Salad - on the mild side, thought it would be more herbalie taste from other review but not. Lots of fried crunches so it's probably not on the "healthy salad" side but unhealthy fried ingredient side. Burmese Crepe - nothing too special but I'm a crepe fan so it's a must try for me. Perhaps can have more fillings? Probably pricy for what it is consider the regular crepe and pancake price from other cuisine. Mohinga Fish Noodle Soup - recommended by the waitress but might be my least favorite dish. The thin noodle was overcooked. Probably better without the noodle. Spicy Shrimp Curry - might be my favorite but it was hella spicy! Given the above 3 dishes were on the mild side, this made up for it but in an extreme way. The curry was served with shell and head (separate), edible. Interesting to try out Burmese food!

    Burmese Pancake
    Norman C.

    **CASH ONLY!** I came here yesterday for casual dinner with a friend. It is a rather small hole in a wall, no frills restaurant. Maybe a few tables at most? We walked in and were seated immediately around dinner hour. It definitely does give off a friendly home-y vibe. Service was very courteous and it felt like a family owned business. There were two people working, one that was cooking, and the other that was working the front of store. The food itself was great! I personally am a big fan of Burmese food and I brought a friend who's fresh from the Bay Area. I would say we didn't come with super high expectations, but I can say we enjoyed every dish and were very stuffed! Tea Leaf Salad (original & medium sized) - It was really good! The fermented tea leaves were definitely better than ones I've had in the past. We wanted the anchovies add-on, but they didn't have it the day of. It comes in both medium and large sized. I would say the medium can feed 2-3 people! Yellow noodles with chicken and eggs - delicious! Beef Curry - also very delicious! Burmese pancake - I was very eh about this actually. The flavors were okay, but I wished there was more of a kick compared to the other dishes. We ordered a bit too much, but no regrets! I would come back here to try more of the food here. If I lived closer I wouldn't mind coming here regularly :)

    Tea leaf salad with fermented ginger (made vegan)
    Matt B.

    Phenomenal Burmese food with plenty of well-labeled vegan options. It's a tiny spot (5 tables), cash only, and with no bathroom, so be prepared. We showed up around 8pm on a Sunday and had to wait for about 20 minutes for table. When seated, we had a tough time deciding what to order. They have classic Burmese staples, including a tea leaf salad that can be ordered a variety of ways depending on preference, which I'd never seen before. We settled on: -Tea leaf salad with fermented ginger (medium-sized; $20). Absolutely incredible version of this classic dish, with lots of crunchy bits (fried garlic, fava beans, lentils, etc), with tomato, cabbage, and elevated by the fermented ginger. Salty and savoury. Phenomenal. -Tofu salad (medium-sized; $17). Made with chickpea tofu and coated in a salty, savoury sauce, cooked with onions, garlic, and coriander. It doesn't get any better than this. -Vegetable stirfry ($14), comes with rice and a lentil soup. Nice array of veggies, with some firm tofu pieces, with a salty, savoury brown sauce. Simple but nicely done. -Burmese pancake - plain ($7) -- dry, under-salted, but stuffed with tomato, coriander, and crunchy cabbage. Solid, but could be better seasoned. Maybe the only slight disappointment. Friendly, quickly service. The cash only and no bathroom situation aren't great, but it's worth dealing with that to enjoy this incredible food. Highly recommended.

    Cute little place, great service - she managed order taking, drinks, and getting your food. Multi-tasker! I've had Burmese food before, that's the reason why I purposely seek this spot out... bc the reviews were great. I was craving the catfish stew - Mohinga... and got just that! It was... good but very salty; so much salt that I needed a drink... and stupidly ordered a grass jelly drink that was soaked in sugar... omg. My taste buds were like very confused... and I was dying of thirst. I wished I like the Mohinga more... but having that major sodium rush... I think it's best I leave the good memories of the delicious Mohinga I had at another spot - that have now sadly closed due to the pandemic: My search continues. #nyceats #yelplife #burmesefood

    Tea Leaf Salad Oiginal

    This place is a cute find. You would miss it because it is tiny -literally, 12-15 seats inside, and a handful outside. When we visited for dinner recently, we were the only ones eating inside, The last time I had Burmese food was when I visited Myanmar just before the recent coup. The restaurant has many of the popular dishes - Mohinga, curries, and thoke. We ordered a paratha and chicken curry starter, the original tea leaf thoke, and the chicken shan noodles. The standout for me, was their tea leaf salad. Herbaceous, bright and and flavorful, just as I remembered from my travels. The noodles, so-so. I thought the paratha was nice and buttery, but fishing it completely soaked through, out of the chicken curry sauce, was not enjoyable. Prices were very reasonable and service was attentive. I'd definitely come back for the tea leaf salad, which would make a fantastic quick lunch, especially with the rice and egg version. There aren't many places you'd find it in NYC, so i'm thankful for this little restaurant.

    Goat Curry
    Yu Ya H.

    Went to check out the Burmese restaurant in Michelin guide while we were at NYC. It is a very tiny space with like five tables, but we still got a seat since we got there a little early on a Saturday. We ordered Burmese pancake (very rare to see on the menu in most Burmese restaurants) - it tastes pretty authentic but a little bland in my opinion. I got the goat curry rice platter which was soooo good. It might have been the best goat curry I've tasted here. It was soo tender. The sides were also the good compliment to the curry. We also got the Burmese noodle salad with beef - which was unexpectedly very delicious. Recommended for someone who wants to try Burmese cuisine! Their menu has quite a variety and you can adjust spice levels!

There was a short wait, but from what I could see, a variety of tables here and seating. Not the biggest place, dark, intimate, wood accents and small spotlights over tables. We ordered buns and spicy edamame to start. It seemed like we had just ordered when the food came out. Love that. Buns were incredibly good - a close second to a joint in Chicago we ate at last weekend. Succulent meat, plenty of sauce, and just the usual pillowy bun. The edamame didn't seem spicy at first - then my face melted. Still good but a deep burning spiciness to them as advertised. For my entree I got the beef miso ramen, adding corn and an egg. The corn wasn't just a pile of kernels - but a side slice of a cob. Cool presentation. Beef was good and the broth soothed my soul. Top 10 ramen places I've been - well done.

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

We walked into the Times Square location, which brings the same experience found in Japan, with individual booths, customizable orders, and a streamlined ordering system. The restaurant is designed around efficiency and focus, where the setup lets you enjoy your ramen without distractions. The interior is clean and functional, with the signature booth layout that creates a sense of privacy and concentration on the meal. The main appeal is the consistency of the ramen and the experience itself. We ordered a few bowls and found the tonkotsu broth had the rich, creamy flavor that Ichiran is known for, with a depth that came through clearly in each spoonful. The thin noodles had a good texture that paired well with the soup, and the ability to customize things like noodle firmness, spice level, and toppings made it easy to adjust the bowl to our preference. The chashu was tender and well seasoned, and the egg was cooked to that perfect jammy consistency that added richness to the bowl. The matcha pudding is also a nice addition if you want something sweet after the meal, with a smooth, creamy texture and a balanced matcha flavor that served as a light finish. The individual booths are what make Ichiran stand out compared to most ramen shops. It creates a very different dining experience where the focus is entirely on the food, and we found it worked especially well for a focused meal where you can truly appreciate each component of the bowl. Groups can still sit together by adjusting the dividers, though the solo dining setup is clearly the defining feature of the experience. The ordering process is simple, with kiosks making it easy to customize your meal before being seated, and the staff guide you through the process without any friction. The biggest downside is the price. While the ramen is good and the experience is unique, the cost is noticeably higher than many other ramen options in New York. The portion sizes and overall meal do not always justify the premium, especially if you are comparing it to other high-quality ramen shops in the city. The quality is consistent, but the value feels less competitive given the price point. Ichiran is worth visiting if you specifically want to try the famous Japanese chain and experience the individual booth concept. The ramen is consistent and the atmosphere is memorable, but the higher price makes it more of a one-time experience rather than an everyday ramen spot. It offers a distinct, focused way to enjoy a bowl of ramen, and for those curious about the brand, it delivers exactly what it promises.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

"How 'bout there?" he responded pointing to Excellent Dumpling House. It was directly across the street. I pulled up Yelp, saw good reviews and readily agreed. At 3:30, the restaurant was empty. There were a few takeout orders, but we were the only people sitting down for late lunch. And y'know ... it was pretty good. Wonton soup is what I'd expect in Chinatown. Wonton wrappers were thin -- my preference -- the stuffing delicious and the broth flavorful. They were generous with the beef in our chow fun. Good, but the noodles needed a jolt. So I asked for soy sauce which was sort of a solution. Shrimp with vegetables was great. A lot of shrimp, too. There are lunchtime specials on weekdays, reasonable prices, and nice people work there. Next time it makes sense to try dumplings since it is, after all a dumpling house.

    Hanamizuki Cafe is a sit down onigiri spot that stands out from the usual grab and go format most…read moreplaces doing this style of food tend to default to. I found the space clean, thoughtfully designed, and with a cozy cafe feel that made it worth lingering in rather than just stopping through. I ordered the combo set, which comes with miso soup, two onigiri, and a set of sides that included tamago. The karaage onigiri is the move here. The filling was satisfying and the flavors were well balanced in a way that made it easy to see why it keeps coming up as a favorite. Individual onigiri are priced in the four to six dollar range, which makes ordering a few to try different fillings a low risk decision. The miso soup that came with the combo was comforting and rounded out the meal without feeling like an afterthought. The unagi onigiri in the combo was where I would pump the brakes. It was good, though I felt it was a little heavier on the rice. The mentaiko and mayo is another strong option if you want something with a bit more richness, and the tuna yuzu is worth keeping in mind for a lighter, brighter pick. Kinoko with five types of Japanese mushroom and scallion is a solid choice if you want something on the vegetarian side that does not feel like a compromise. The cafe fills up and popular fillings sell out, so arriving earlier gives you the best shot at getting your first choice across the board.

The hojicha latte was just ok to me as it tasted more milky than tea forward, but I'd come back to try their matcha drinks. It's a cute little spot with indoor seating and friendly staff.
