    kaw yay khao swal
    Brian S.

    walked in on a whim and wasnt sure what to get but i was recommended the kaw yay khao swal with duck. the siup was super starchy and pretty light in flavor. i thought the vegetables added (water spinach?) didnt taste the freshest and the duck was cooked well but gamey like duck usually is. wasnt the biggest fan but some of their other noodles looked pretty good.

    Kya oh Sichat with chicken
    Isabelle S.

    The Kya oh Sichat (dry vermicelli garlic noodle) has more of a sesame oil flavor profile than at other places, so it's much less garlic forward than your typical, but decent overall.

    I came in on a whim after my haircut. Decided to try it out and i enjoyed it. Service was friendly and good came out quick. I ordered the Nan Gyi Thoke and the Mohinga. This was my first time trying Burmese food and I liked it! The nan gyi thoke is a rice noodle salad that is dressed in a light curry sauce. It's nutty and spiced from the garam masala and other seasonings. The mohinga is a fished based soup with rice noodles. The soup is thick and you can taste tumeric, lemongrass, and fish sauce. It's topped with this amazing lentil fritter and paired with boiled egg and fish cake. Overall, I recommend Sophie's Rangoon Kitchen!

    Pork vermicelli noodles

    Burmese food! What a great addition to Elmhurst. Happened to be walking by and discovered a new restaurant serving homemade Burmese cuisine, bonus a giant TV showing Brazil vs Netherlands world cup match. Family run, friendly service, detailed menu and post it's on the wall explaining the dishes as well as various sauces and condiments. The beef biryani was so tender and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. The pork vermicelli noodles was equally delicious. The pandan coconut noodle desert drink needed the addition of crushed ice to cut through the sweetness but would definitely get it again to bring home. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

    I really enjoyed this Mom and pop Burmese shop located on Broadway. My husband and I were just passing by. We noticed how good the food looked so we decided to give it a shot. Everyone inside was very friendly and happy to explain any of the food to us. The portions were fair or generous for the pricing as well as packed with plenty of protein and flavor. Only criticism I would have is that I wish I had a cup of ice with the drink that I got. Next time I'll know to get that to go and be able to do that modification myself. I just found it to be a little bit too sweet to drink on its own. I'll definitely come back here to try more items from their menu.

    Love to see more restaurants opening in this block, look pretty sad to see these empty front storefront in this neighborhood. Small place with casual seating, homey vibe. You walk straight to the cashier to order. I only had Burmese food twice before, but I never had mohinga. Upon ordering she asked if I want some fish cake topping for extra $2, with that the total came up to $16 and change. Such a flavorful dish, so many different texture, lighter than Thai style curry. Really solid dish, although I would skip the fish cake next time, it doesn't need it. I would be back to try more and try their drinks next time!

    Laphet Tote/Pickled Tea Leaves Salad. $12.99.. Alright. The only dish I preferred at other spots

    Note- Uploaded photos of the menu. On a side note, some dishes such as the ohn no khao swè/curry chicken noodle soup are only available on the weekend. No reservations. Best dishes were the Mohinga and Dan Bout, but all were tasty. Anyway, I was here a few days ago with a group of 6, and this new casual Burmese place joins a list of many excellent restaurants on this block in Elmhurst. Even compared to those, this place is tiny with no reservations. While tiny, the food here packs in flavor. The staff was friendly and did what they could to assist with our larger group. As we were unaware that some options are only available on weekends, our host changed up some things. Our only smaller plate was the $15.99 Wat Thar Dote Hote/Assorted Pork Intestines, or really offal, with braised pork meat, tongue, ear, heart, liver, stomach, and egg served with tangy dipping sauce. This dish, normally served on skewers, was originally created by the Burmese-Chinese, and that makes sense in terms of flavor, as the various pork products had a mild five-spice powder and soy flavor with a bit of sweetness. Otherwise, the pork products were tender and had a nice mix of textures, with the only one having a particularly strong flavor being the intestine. It was tasty overall and good to share, and I feel like it would also be a perfect drinking snack. Otherwise, the first thing that arrived was my favorite dish of the evening. This was their excellent take on Mohinga/Rice Noodle Fish Soup for $12.99, listed as rice noodle, aromatic lemongrass fish soup, banana stem, boiled egg, fish cake, and crispy fritters. The last time I had a particularly good version was the old location of Little Myanmar, back when it was Yun's Cafe nearby in Jackson Heights. The new version in the East Village did not feel the same, but this checked off all the boxes. There was plenty of spice, some fish, and a wide range of textures all over a large portion of rice noodles. I would heavily recommend this. Our other favorite dish was the Dan Bout, listed as aromatic baked rice with a choice of beef cubes or chicken thigh served with cashew, dried grapes, fried chili, and pickled mango, where it is $14.99 for beef, or $12.99 for chicken. We went with the beef version, and this was an excellent choice as it was fork-tender. The beef had a wonderful mix of spices, and the rice below, while not the softest, had some nuts and grapes to add some extra texture. This was excellent also Their version of Laphet Tote/Pickled Tea Leaves Salad, a mix of crunchy mixed nuts and peanuts, napa cabbage, juicy tomatoes, and savory dried shrimps for $12.99, was solid. It had a good mix of spices and a good amount of crunch with a bit of a sour fermented flavor from the tea leaves. I would say that this was the only dish I preferred at Little Myanmar, as this was comparatively easily the smallest portion, and I found their texture a bit better. Our last dish was the $13.99 Kway Oh/Vermicelli Meatball Soup, listed as vermicelli in bone broth soup with a choice of meatball, fish paste, fish ball, egg, quail egg, pork liver, Chinese broccoli, and served with soup/chili sauce on the side. We chose the pork version, and this was the lightest tasting of all the dishes, with the broth being a mildly flavored bone broth with a bit of pepper. The meatballs/fish balls were bouncy, and the noodles had a soft and slightly chewy texture, which became richer once the egg was introduced. This was tasty, and I can imagine it being very comforting when winter hits. Dessert consists primarily of drinks, and I went with the Mote Latt Saung/Palm Sugar, with pandan noodle, palm sugar, and coconut strips for $7.99. There was also Falooda, as well as a version of my drink made with coconut milk instead of palm sugar. It was lightly sweet with a mix of textures, though next time, I would just stop at Pata a few doors down. This is an excellent new restaurant with some bold flavors. The prices are reasonable, the food is good quality, and the people are friendly. Would recommend, heavily.

    Nann Gyii Tote
    Sharon L.

    Updating my review to give Sophie's its well deserved 5 stars! We finally had a chance to try the Mohinga here and it is PROPER and very good! My fiance noted that Sophie's dishes are the closest to what his family prepares when it comes to flavor profiles. The mohinga was generously portioned and came with all of the toppings. Prices are very reasonable. The nann gyii tote or curry noodle salad that we ordered the first time was also really good & flavorful. Would definitely recommend these two dishes.

    Falooda and Dan Bout
    Josh B.

    I enjoyed the chicken biryani, where cashews and raisins offered unexpected textures. The chili and pickle condiments on the table had intense flavors. Falooda was a multi-pronged sugar delivery mechanism with Instagrammable green and red layers. There's ice cream and...was that banana for a moment? The service was excellent. They were very welcoming and happy to explain the offerings to a newcomer.

    Mohinga
    Anna L.

    Bright but smallish Burmese restaurant. Prices are reasonable and for the most part good. It's a self service restaurant. The nann gyii tote (a dry chicken noodle dish) was delicious. It one of my favorite Burmese dishes. Oily but full of flavor! It comes with a simple clear soup which I didn't care for. The mohinga was ok; I had better. The falooda was also great!

    Curry Noodles
    Vicki C.

    My husband and I stumbled upon this unassuming little spot and were immediately intrigued bc it was packed. We found out they had just opened not too long ago, so they're clearly still finding their rhythm. The food did take a bit of time, but honestly, when you peek into the kitchen and see Burmese aunties and uncles cooking everything from scratch, you know you're in good hands. Now onto the food. Burmese food is surprisingly hard to come by in NYC, so I was genuinely excited to see one open. We originally had our hearts set on the garlic dry noodles, but they were sold out for the day, which honestly might have been a blessing in disguise. We ordered the curry noodles instead, and wow. This was hands down one of the most delicious dishes I've had in a while. The flavors were incredible. It was layered, bold, and perfectly balanced. A little spicy, a little sour, a little salty -- every bite hit differently. The noodles had that ideal chewy texture, and the crispy garnishes on top added the perfect contrast. It was comforting but exciting at the same time. I'm already looking forward to coming back (and hopefully snagging those garlic noodles next time).

    Rebecca D.

    Everything here was absolutely delicious. I came here on the weekend right when they open and it was already crowded. Seating is limited especially for larger groups. I can't want to come back.

    First time trying Burmese food. The place is modern and clean. I had the Kway Oh soup and Assorted pork. bith were nice. Worth a vist to try new cruisine.

I didn't give 5 stars because of the service. There're 2 staffs one boy one girl but they both look like not in good mood, they will just turn on the stove, refill broth, and left the food on table without saying anything. Especially refilling the broth (we didn't ask for refill but she was sweet to refill for us), she came to our table and refill right away without saying a word, it's kind dangerous while we also eating because the broth might spill out.

    Hi there! My name…read moreis Melissa- an ex DoorDash employee and former restaurant manager in NYC. My experience at Jacob's Pickles was incredible and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for any occasion. This special southern gem has it all figured out. They beat the myth of having "too big of a space" or "too large of a menu". Their speed and service is extremely fast. Waitstaff are very friendly and collaborate very well together. GREEN FLAG that they are always busy with very rare downtimes. I recommend to secure a reservation if possible. The menu has a wide variety of options. As a repeat customer, I can conclude the consistency of quality is 100%. Favorites: Biscuits and Fixins Chicken Caesar Wrap Shrimp and Grits Lobster Mac and Cheese Fried Chicken and Gravy (not pictured) Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich (not pictured) I will definitely be returning. I will be posting their content on Instagram at @village.nyc.eats. Feel free to follow along or message me! Melissa.s.joubert@gmail.com

    I was back at this restaurant a while ago, having previously eaten at their own location, which was…read moreloud and a bit too dark, almost feeling more like a gastropub than a Southern spot. By comparison, the new one is much better and much more fitting, while still being moderately loud but not earsplitting, presumably due to both the ceilings being a lot higher and the tables being more spaced apart. It's also a lot brighter, with plenty of mirrors on the wall and larger tables. As mentioned by most others, the portions here are rather massive for NYC, even in comparison to some diners and delicatessens, which makes the prices pretty reasonable. Our large group went here for something I rarely do: brunch. The servers were reasonably overwhelmed, but still friendly. Knowing how big the portions are, I only ordered the $22 Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which is typically served with pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, and hot sour pickles on a home-baked brioche bun. I did something I rarely do, which was ask for a substitution. In this case, it was cheddar instead of pepper jack, and it was obliged. The sandwich was quite large and a bit difficult to pick up, as it was pretty messy, but the flavor was nice. The chicken was juicy, the batter was pretty light, and there was a load of crispy onions. The pickles added a bit of sour crunch and a bit of heat, and the bun did just well enough to keep it all together. Overall, it was tasty. In terms of other dishes, there were a ton. I had one of the many tasty Deviled Eggs for $15, served with pickled mustard seed, smoked paprika, and pickle chips. From the same appetizer section, I particularly enjoyed the $13 Okra & Chilies, made from smoked & pickled okra, red pepper flakes, and scallion. I liked the smokiness, and the okra had some good grill marks, with this being the lightest dish on the table, outside of the Pickle Sampler someone else got. If you're looking to have a heart attack, I would order the decent $19 Poutine. Featuring fries smothered in brown gravy, cheese, and a hollandaise drizzle, I would compare it more to disco fries or other forms of loaded fries. This was due to the lack of cheese curds and the style of gravy. Outside of the comically massive portion, it's fine. In terms of other mains, a few had the two types of Smothered Chicken, either with sausage or mushrooms, for $24. Someone else ordered the non-spicy version of the same sandwich I got. Finally, another got the gigantic $24 Chicken & Waffles, consisting of buttermilk fried chicken, a golden waffle, house maple butter, and powdered sugar. There was also another entree, but I don't remember the details. I preferred this experience a lot more than the previous time and would recommend them for brunch, at least. Just come very hungry.

For those who don't know, I film a food show on Instagram called #YummiesOnGummies, where I take a bunch of edibles and go enjoy some serious culinary delights. And let me tell you, Maison Pickle understood the assignment. Second time at the big MP, and we started with the pull-apart bread -- the herb & butter edition. OHHHHH MY GOD. It's actually better than the honey butter one, and that's saying A LOT because the honey butter had me moist. And I gotta shout out the manager Aaron and our incredible server Sarah. When I tell you they made me feel like my name was on the front of the restaurant, THEY SHOWED THE FUCK OUT. Hospitality at its finest. Made us feel right at home. Now... BACK TO THE FOOD. That MAC & CHEESE?! I need that shit again RIGHT NOW. So creamy. So much flavor. So silky. So cheesy. Please bless the chef's hands because somebody in that kitchen is doing God's work. Then came the Double Patty Melt, which is EASILY one of the best burgers I've ever had. That burger was so fire I raw-dogged it. No ketchup. No au jus. No distractions. Just meat, cheese, bun and BLISS. Then we got into the Chick Toast and that fried chicken was SO DAMN GOOD. I wish I could travel back in time, find the first slave who ever fried that bird and tell him, "Look what you've sparked!! Your suffering was not unnoticed." The brioche French toast, crispy bacon and house-made syrup had me questioning my entire life. Like... what the fuck took me so long to try this?! WHY DID I WAIT?! Then came this banging-ass French onion dip sandwich that just hugged my tongue the second I bit into it. And because apparently we hadn't done enough damage, we finished the day with a 24-layer Pumpkin Spice Latte Carrot Cake that had me feeling like a blonde-haired white woman named Lisa on a crisp autumn morning. I shall be back to Maison Pickle. And yes, I shall post yet ANOTHER review Because I LOVE that place
