Good food. Like being invited to an Asian friend's home. Sampler was great. Spicy basil chicken was good, but the lemongrass beef missed the mark :(. It would have been tastier if it came in smaller pieces. The beef wasn't tender, and I could really taste the coconut in the coconut rice...it just tastes like white rice. 4 stars for unpretentious decor, good service, Thai sweet tea, and the sampler :) read more

Royal Myanmar - Burmese Near Me - West View, Pennsylvania

Had the royal Myanmar appetizer, house salad, and sashimi combo. The appetizer was delicious, and the royal Myanmar tofu was super tasty. The salad with ginger dressing came free with checking in through yelp. the sashimi with combo was not that great since it had a weird taste to it; it seemed like it came out of the fridge with a mildew taste. I would like to come back for the tofu but the fish really disappointed me. read more

Great little restaurant. The menu is huge. I got sushi and the spring rolls. All very fresh and delicious.

We stumbled on this place after Slippery Mermaid said they were done seating people at 8:30pm on a Friday evening. So glad they did because the sushi here was some of the best I've ever eaten. We ordered a sushi platter and got a delicious sample of sushis. 38 pieces for only 30.00. The rainbow roll was so fresh and made to perfection. The staff was super friendly and stayed to talk to us after our meal. This hidden gem will be a place I will most certainly be frequenting. Only had sushi but their menu is extensive and impressive as well. Add this to your go to place! read more

Royal Myanmar - So delicious! Sushi platter. - Burmese Near Me - West View, Pennsylvania

With all the good reviews, I had to try this place. I started out with the spring rolls. They gave me six of them. They were fresh and very good dipped in a sweet peanut sauce. The salads were nice and cold and crisp with a ginger dressing. I had the spicy basil beef with peppers, mushrooms and cilantro in a great sauce served with brown rice. We also had a shrimp dish that was like shrimp fried rice but with noodles. It was great too! Good size portions, everything fresh and tasty! Oh....and the Thai iced tea! OMG it reminded me of a White Russian! No wonder I sucked it down! It was fantastic! If you like Burmese food, a little Thai, Indian and Chinese dishes, you will love this place. The place is small, not fancy but very reasonable prices. I will definitely be back! read more

This is a hidden gem! They are very friendly and provide excellent customer service. The food is really delicious. I've tried their spicy Thai basil fried rice, mango sticky rice, tempers roll, crunchy roll, tofu salad and fried tofu! All exceeded my expectations! read more

Ordered takeout thorough yelp/grubhub. I got fresh spring rolls and spicy basil fried rice, my wife got Tom yum soup and a crunchy roll. Grubhub said it'd be 45-55 minutes, which seemed long, so I left to get there at around 40-45 and I'm glad I did (my food was ready and had been for 10 min). I think it's a Grubhub glitch/feature that they quote pickup times that won't make you wait, but I'd rather wait and have got food fresh from the kitchen. Food was still was when I got it home, and it was delicious. There was no option for "spice level" when ordering (that I saw), so I was pleasantly surprised when everything was just right: a little kick, but not overpowering the flavors...very balanced. The spring rolls were good, although it was interesting that they cut them into sections like a sushi roll (I'm used to getting them whole). The fried rice was excellent, most notably the shrimp. They clearly peeled and cooked the shrimp from raw right in the restaurant because they had that curled up appearance that I only see when I cook a them at home. They were tender and absolutely perfect (and there were quite a few of them). My wife's Tom Yum soup was delicious, and the Crunchy roll was an amazing combination of unique flavors. We'll definitely be making this a takeout regular spot when the kids want the same old cheese pizza on a Friday night. Yum! read more

Have eaten here several times and everything has been fine. I have been reading other reviewers raving about the sushi here and though I would try take out. Got the 38 piece Royal Myanmar platter to go on one word fantastic. Everything tasted super fresh and looked great. Noticed that they had a new menu since I was last here with several new items that will bring me back for dinner soon. read more

Having been to Royal Myanmar twice now, I am very conflicted in my review. Both times the portion times were generous. The price points are reasonable and the staff is warm and inviting. Finding Burmese cuisine in the North Hills of Pgh is also very exciting! I will be back to try them again. Probably for dinner. The first time that I dined the food was amazing. I went to dinner with friends. Spice levels were on point. I was amazed. I shared entrees with my table so I was able to try several dishes. Which were all amazing. My favorites were the Pad Thai which was served with noodles with crunchy fresh peanuts, carrots, and sprouts in a chili paste. So good. We had it served with chicken. Our meal began with sushi and samosa. Honestly, I didn't real dig into the sushi. My friend was in the mood for it. I just wasn't in a sushi kind of mood and went for the samosa. It was delicious. Filled with warm, perfectly chopped potato, peas, and veggies. Wrapped in a tasty, crispy shell. Spiced perfectly. Each bite better than the previous. The mango sticky rice also stood out for being A-MAZ-ING. I was hesitant to order it but my friend insisted. So glad she knew what she was doing. It's now a favorite item. We also ordered the Spicy Basil Fried Rice, Coconut Curry Chicken. I loved the it. It was served with big plump clean tasting - as in it tasted like higher quality- pieces of shrimp. The seasoning was perfection and the Rice was filled with fresh basil, green beans, carrot, and just - perfect. The coconut curry & spicy basic chicken were also delicious from the small bites I had. I wish I had given them more attention but I was too full to really get to know them well. I hope to return another day to become better acquainted. I left dinner happy, full, highly impressed, and looking forward to my next return. The owners were a delight. I loved the family dynamic of the management and ownership of the restaurant. Looking forward to another exceptional meal, I invited my deal friend to lunch at Royal Myanmar. We each ordered our own lunch. (Mainly since she is a red meat eater and I'm not.) We started with the Dragon Roll. Which was HUGE and a delight. Since it was lunch, we didn't even finish it before lunch arrived. We each ordered an entree. I ordered the Nyat Khaukswe Kyaw. It was not what I expected having previously had their Pad Thai. The Pad Thai is really good. The Nyat Khaukswe Kyaw was singular in spice when hitting my tongue, lacked heat, and not what I expected. Which was extremely disappointing for THIS dish and THIS restaurant. It seemed to lack spice in comparison to my last visit. I'm hoping it was just an off day and that the next time I visit the spicing and notes of flavor are back up to par. Since I've really only had that item once before at a different establishment, I'm not an expert in this ethnic delicacy but it's my understand that it typically has a kick to it that was missing. Despite this dish not being a favorite, I plan to return again soon. This is a restaurant that is worth taking a trip to West View to visit. read more

This place is amazing. I've only recently discovered it even though it is right in my neighborhood. I've had 3 different dishes so far and believe it or not each one is not only excellent but some of the best food I've ever tasted. I would definitely put this restaurant on your must try list. Don't be put off by the lack of decor but get ready for the friendliest service and the best tasting food you've ever had! Try the curry. I had the chicken and potato curry it was awesome. read more

Royal Myanmar - Chicken and potato curry! - Burmese Near Me - West View, Pennsylvania

Don't let the Spartan decor fool you, the food here is seriously good. My wife and I split an appetizer of chicken satay skewers. We got 3 large skewers, expertly cooked, tender, juicy and delicious. The peanut cucumber side sauce was a nice compliment. For dinner we had the Royal Myanmar noodle soup and Pork Nyat Khaukswe Kyaw. The soup was delicious in a flavorful but mildly spiced chicken broth. The pork Nyat was spiced to taste (I went with 5 on a scale of ten) and was hearty and delicious. It's BYOB so if you want alcohol, bring it. Dinner for 2 was $26 before tip, which given quality of the food was a screaming bargain. Worth a trip. read more

I stopped by for some quick noodles to go and was delighted by how tasty the food is! I will definitely be back, delicious.

Maybe more of a 3 or 3.5-star, but I'll round up to 4 for being the only Burmese restaurant in Pittsburgh. (RIP Burma-Tokyo.) I'd say this place has Burmese food on par with Philadelphia, but not on part with Southeast Asia. In particular, the tea leaf salad and the pork with pickled mango were both very tasty, but the flavors didn't come through as strongly as they might have. Stir-fried noodles (I don't remember what exactly) were unmemorable. Chickpea tofu was really strange, but in the best possible way. read more

Absolutely love the food from Royal Myanmar! Haven't had a single item that didn't exceed expectations. This is one of the few Burmese food options in Pittsburgh and thankfully super close to our home. While they have the typical Thai dishes like Pad Thai, Papaya salad, etc I highly recommend trying out some of the authentic Burmese dishes. My favorites have been the Drinking Noodle and the Ohn-No Kauk Sew which is a rich coconut chicken soup broth with hints of sweetness and noodles, veggies, and chicken. This would be a perfect dish to enjoy on a cold winter evening! The owners are incredibly nice, take great care and pride in their food. One time I wanted to order the Mango Sticky Rice and when I arrived to pick up my order, they informed me that they got a shipment of mangoes that did not meet their standards and therefore did not want to serve it. Loved that they're so passionate about serving nothing but the best! read more

The food is very delicious. More importantly, food is naturally made without artificial ingredients. For drink, do try Royal mayammar tea and mango milk shake. read more

Friendly staff at the front desk explaining the levels of curry also other entree's first time here Hopefully it's fire on the taste buds Super Fast service read more

Small little shop in west view, hidden gem! I like basil pork, good heat. All the different sushi I have tried have been great too!

Great food, friendly people and reasonable prices. I have never been disappointed with any of my many meals there! The portions are great, too. If you want good sushi, come here!! I do feel bad that there's barely anyone who eats in, but I think they're doing well for themselves! read more

Royal Myanmar - Burmese Near Me - West View, Pennsylvania

The BEST sushi! I have had several different sushi rolls from here many times and have not had a bad experience yet. It's so fresh, delicious and well priced. I prefer this sushi over anything I've tried at upscale restaurants downtown! This is my go - to take out! read more

I was excited to check this place out for their sushi. I got a spicy tuna roll and the mynamar roll. They go extremely heavy on the "special sauce" they put on top of the rolls. So much so that I found myself scraping it off because it was too excessive. I've always read that if a place overloads on the sauce, the sushi underneath is probably not that great. read more

I love this place. It's fresh, affordable and no frills. The owner is the most flexible with substitutions and the sashimi platter is so good. They take credit cards, are great for lunch and there are plenty of seats. Parking is plentiful and we love eating here. Try the sashimi platter! read more

I am so pleased to give the Royal Myanmar my 5-star review. Don't let the modest decor fool you! The cuisine at this little restaurant is packed with delightful flavors. We began with appetizers, including the Fresh & Crispy Spring Rolls and the Sampler Platter, which included Chicken Satay, Crispy Tofu and Samosa, all of which were fresh and delicious and were accompanied by flavorful sauces. We were all very pleased with each meal; once again, the flavors were just wonderful. We enjoyed them all: Nyat Khaukswe Kyaw, Spicy Basil Fried Rice, Lemongrass Beef w/Coconut Rice and Kyarzan Kyaw. I thoroughly recommend this diamond-in-the-rough as a must-try. read more

Looks are deceiving. This place is tiny, but has one of a kind food and really good sushi! Would recommend!!

Holy crap - what? Is the most fun sushi in Pittsburgh being served in a little hole in the wall in West View? it kind of seems like it is .... the way DiPietro's belongs as the undeniable anchor of the Centre-Perry, frankly, Royal Myanmar belongs there on merit alone. Their sushi offerings are HUGE, and it's clear the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Where this joint really shines is in the specialty rolls. At like 8-10 bucks, these things are seriously like 30-50% bigger than your average GOOD roll from your typical joints around town. Not to take anything from them - I do love, like, Umi, and Andy's in Wholey's - but for like $9 to get a specialty roll unlike anything else I've ever had (there are plenty of fun, creative ingredients and combinations they've come up with here) is good enough to make a guy like me happy. The fact that it is enough maki to fill like a full-sized dinner plate really just makes it a home run. And that's before talking about the Burmese food. I only had one dish, some savory pork thing. It was awesome. This was a delivery order - I just left a note saying something to the effect of "please make this as spicy as possible." Normally, I leave a note like that and expect, really, literally nothing in response. Even when I leave a note like that, if they ignore my note but the food is good, I'm a happy camper. But the awesome ladies at Royal Myanmar actually just went ahead and killed it on this. The woman who met met at the counter explained that they saw my request for extra spiciness and stood about for a moment thinking about how to make the dish spicy where they did not normally offer it as spicy (I failed to think of this). She assured me they'd come up with a great plan -- included in the mix were some hot green chiles that they'd decided would add heat to the dish without screwing up the flavor balance. This was contrary to the red fried chiles we're all used to seeing in spicy-designed dishes and/or the red chili paste that restaurants (and I) just slather on to make dishes spicy. That was just like incredibly thoughtful and cool. And you know what? My pork dish was awesome; it had some added spice from the green chiles, but even if it hadn't had that, it would still have been great because the quality of the meat was really good and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. That's the level of attention to their work they have at this place... The sushi is insane, the stir fried cuisine is just perfect.... frankly, I can't wait to eat at Royal Myanmar again. I want to eat the rest of this place's menu. It's just awesome. I hope West View steps up and proves it deserves it. read more

Hi.. I am the waitress here at Royal Myanmar! And I believe that our food here is the best Asian food in Pittsburgh. If you like authentic Asian food this is the place for you! We have Thai, Burmese, some Chinese, and Japanese (sushi). Everything here is fresh, you get big portions for your money, and the chef's here put their heart and soul in to what they love to do.. which is cook for you. It's about time we've got something new in West View.. come and check us out you won't be disappointed!! read more

I just stopped here today, the foods great, and the staff also kindly. I will come back

Trust me - this is The Best Sushi in the North Pittsburgh area. We used to go weekly to Cranberry's Taipei (Jimmy Wan's). And we do enjoy the atmosphere of the Slippery Mermaid in Sewickley. However, NOTHING compares to the fresh and thoughtful sushi at Royal Myanmar. We have ordered platters for parties, dined in, and we take out weekly. The portions are generous for the price - Taipei in Cranberry is serving fractions of the amount of food, and charging well over Royal Myanmar's prices. This place is SO worth the visit! read more

Small restaurant clean and wonderful food. Give this local small business a try and support local. BYOB so you have no pressure figuring out what to drink. But if you do want something other than water try the Myanmar tea it is fabulous. read more

This was our second time here and the food was again exceptional. The place is spotless and friendly staff. I can't see why more people are not here. We got the Kyar Zan Hingar soup to start. Its very mild and this could be a new go-to soup for me. I then got the Kailan Chicken while my spouse got a spicy pork dish. We enjoyed both. read more

A no frills local restaurant with excellent, delicious food. They offer both traditional Burmese food as well as a pan Asian-American menu and sushi. Great for both take out and a casual sit down meal read more

Very good food, enjoyed the chicken curry and appetizer sampler. Certainly different, but very good. I will be back.

Never expected to find a legit Burmese place in Pittsburgh. So happy to see a place that offers different kind of Burmese noodle that I haven't ever tried - boiled egg noodle with chicken, rice vermicelli soup with meatball and quail eggs, and I also got the stir fried egg noodle with pork. My drive from my hotel all the way on the southern suburbs, passing all the traffics, was totally worth it! I'll come back to try the dishes next time. read more

Wow! Yay for yelp, bc I certainly would've never found this on my own. Very impressed. Sushi was outstanding. Pad Thai was very good. Spicy chicken curry was like nothing I've ever had, which is always exciting to me (if it's good, haha). Reasonable prices. Really looking forward to going back sometime, even though I don't live very close. read more

Small family restaurant but big in portion. My gf and I couldn't finish the 2 entries that we order. Avocado milk shake was delicious and again, have to take the extra in a to-go cup. We will b back again to try out other dishes. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem! I became very fond of Burmese food while living in Washington DC and was very excited to find this restaurant here in Pittsburgh. Although it wasn't on the menu, the chef prepared a delicious Nan Gyi Thoke for me - highly recommended! read more

Good service. Had small sushi plates. Just the right size sushi bite. Reasonably priced. Will try Burmese next time.

Never had Burmese food before and had to try this place since my AirBnB was just up the road in West View. First, this place is a value. Appetizer, two dishes, two beverages, and a dessert for less than 40 bucks. My Nyat Khaukswe Kyaw (8/10 on the spice scale) was incredibly flavorful with a decent amount of burn (word for the wise, I have a very high tolerance for heat). My girlfriend also enjoyed her Drinking Noodle. Service was courteous and quick. If you ever find yourself in West View, this is definitely a place to check out. read more

Went here for the first time. Started off with the Kim Chi Kyee Gae soup which is a Kim Chi spicy soup that was really good and spicy. Then a fresh salad with ginger dressing. We ordered Lemmongrass beef with coconut rice and Kauk Swe Kyaw. The beef was fall apart tender and delicious in a lemon broth. The Kauk Swe Kyaw is a noodle dish with vegetables and egg.with your choice of meat. It is a spicy dish. The person that waited on us was very helpful and patient with our questions. Great place and fair prices and I will be back. read more
