    Nan Gyi Dok
    Meilinn T.

    Absolutely loved this place! The food was unique, flavorful, and well-balanced. Every dish felt different from anything I've had before, which made the meal really memorable. The value was fantastic too--we spent about $53 total (including tip) for two entrées and two specialty drinks. For drinks, I tried the fruit smoothie, which reminded me of a lassi but without the yogurt. I also really enjoyed the Mint Ginger Spritz. It was light, refreshing, and honestly felt like something that could help settle your stomach after a meal. We ordered the Nan Gyi Dok and the sampler, which came with curry, a samosa, and tea leaf salad. For the curry, we chose the Weh Da Nah. The tea leaf salad was incredibly unique--I have never had anything like it before. The Nan Gyi Dok was probably my favorite dish of the meal. It had a nice medium spice level and came with a light broth on the side that refreshed your palate between bites. The service was excellent as well. The only challenge was finding the restaurant since it's tucked away inside an international mall/food court, but it's absolutely worth seeking out. I'm already looking forward to coming back--and next time I want to try the African food vendors in the market too!

    *out of towner* I was not surprised by how good this was, the reviews speak for themselves. Urban Burma is inside of community centered space. There are a few different spots to choose from for food. You order at the counter for take out or dine in. Plenty of seating! The service was great, food came out fresh and hot, literally just made. I got the fried rice (without peas) with chicken and the ginger mint spritzer. yes to everything. The rice was delicious and seasoned. I added a lil chili sauce for spice. I also tried the tea leaf salad - yes again! Delicious. Go here .

    Came here for a late bite and it didn't disappoint. The Samosas were delicious and perfect to start with. We also had the Sii Cheh Kao Sweh and the Ono Kao Swe. The flavors were great, though the Level 3 spice on the Ono Kao Swe was a bit mild for us--we'll definitely go for a higher spice level next time! Quick service and good food.

    Delicious food! Lowkey place, get the tea leaf salad! Will be back, want to try other dishes

    Buckle up your taste buds, friends. Urban Burma is NOT here to play. This is one of several food stalls within Mango House, a community center for ethnic minorities and refugees. The seating area is shared, and you'll see little hints of cultural flair near each stall. The menu is short but captures most of the Burmese top hits that you'll see this side of the Pacific (notably missing, mohinga, as well as ginger salad). One of the co-owners, Siri, was manning the front and was elated to be serving a fellow Burmese person (my boyfriend). After ordering and debating the pros/cons of various famous Burmese restaurants in other parts of the country (a certain Superstar in the Bay Area), he sat us down with some water cups and went back to take care of the growing dinner line. The water cups are small and you'll have to refill yourself at the water station, but that's about the only downside of eating here. We shared the Tea Leaf Salad, Ono Kao Sweh, and their special curry of the day, a Braised Pork Curry. Siri himself came out to deliver each dish as it was prepared, each one neatly portioned out on elegant serving-ware that contrasts with the otherwise rather sparse decor in Mango House. The Ono Kao Sweh was sublime - wonderfully thick and brothy with a hint of lime and coconut. If you've never had Tea Leaf Salad, I envy you for getting to experience the mouth-feel of its textures and tastes for the first time. It hits, in all the right ways. The Pork Curry was rich and salty, maybe too salty for me, but comforting in the ways that only aunties and uncles can perfect. My belly can't wait to experience Urban Burma again.

    First time going to The Mango House. Brilliant use of space we opted to try Urban Burma. The food stall is small and the staff seemed nice. Our selections were the Shan Noodles which was a flavorful bowl with generous amount of noodles, would totally order again. Next we tasted the sampler which was a tea leaf salad, chicken curry and a delicious samosas. Totally would order again. Only complaint is we didn't request spicy.

    This was my first time trying Burmese food, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the golden triangle tofu ($10), tea leaf salad ($12), and Shan noodles ($14). The tofu was so crispy and flaky and delicious when dipped in the tamarind sauce. The tea leaf salad was fermented and unique, very addictive! It was a bit salty, but it was refreshing and balanced my meal well. Shan noodles felt like your typical Asian noodle soup, tasty but did not seem super new and different. The worker was really kind and explained the menu well. This restaurant is located in a food hall, and I can imagine the parking situation being a bit challenging during peak business hours. This is not in the best part of town, but definitely worth stopping by to give this place a try!!

    Urban Burma really showed us delicious Burmese food. I was a little unfamiliar with it, but was excited to try. Located in Mango House, it has a lot of options of various dishes. We ordered the Tea Leaf Salad (a must!) and the Nan Gyi Dok. The tea lead salad was delicious and refreshing. One of my favorite styles of salad. It resembled a slaw in looks with a crunchy bite. The Nan Gyi Dok is such an interesting noodle dish. These noodles were so soft and juicy. Like I've never had anything like it. The color was similar to a curry sauce and the taste was savory. This place is a must try! I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu!

    Amazing food with such a friendly owner!! From the minute we walked up, the owner greeted us and explained the food and asked where we were from. We ordered the Ono Kao Sweh (soup dish) and Nan Gyi Dok (no soup). Both were noodles (one with soup and one dry) and they were soooo delicious!!! Highly highly recommend!!! The ambiance is very welcoming and family oriented (saw lots of kids running around and there is a mini playground for them too). There is plenty of seating with a nice big window to look outside. Parking is plenty in the back. We definitely will come back the next time we visit Denver!

    Pure mush!!!  Overpriced mush better served in a nursing home

    Bad food, terrible service & crap atmosphere ‍. Was so excited to try this place based on the (most likely fake) reviews with my young kids ..... ABSOLUTE MISTAKE!! Where do I begin?! Ordered 2 meals for the 3 of us with a side of fried rice Togo.... 45 mins later the food arrived, we immediately asked the obvious (extra plates to properly share please), then waited to ask for basic soy sauce & the samosa sauce (never delivered) another 15 minutes until we gave up. Ate what we could bc we had been super hungry for an hour at this point. Good?! Samosas were great!! And salad was good!..... rice was old mush, after 45mins the chicken was dry and flavorless, the curry was clearly reheated (don't lie to me, I know food). What was meant to be extra for lunch the next day I wanted nothing to do with.... Better off blending it and donating to those with no teeth ‍....... No, we did NOT take anything with us They ask for payment & tip before your order for a reason ‍. As I was leaving, the server asked how it was, I was very honest but polite..... he didn't have a care in the world..... What a shame!!!! Had he done his job and offered a second chance (I probably would have said no anyway bc it was so bad)... this review would be much better for the service part and updated for the food quality if it was a "one time issue".... But NO!!! BAD FOOD, SERVICE & AMBIANCE . Never tried to this point to make the situation better sadly.. STOP WITH THE FAKE REVIEWS AND DO BETTER IN EVERY AREA!!!!

    Love the noodle soups! Counter service in Mango House. The entrance is in the back and there's a small parking lot or street parking

    Hadn't really tried Burmese food outside of California and was really looking forward to my experience here while visiting Denver. The menu was similar to the one back home and I chose a couple of items that I knew were veggie. The tea leaf salad was well made and the flavors were spot on. I had asked for my samosa soup to be made hot, and it too was very delicious. I really appreciated how they used red garbanzo beans as opposed to white in the soup, this is what really makes it authentic, and was absolutely one of my favorite ingredients overall. Would definitely return here if I were in town again. Humble staff too :)

    Oh my goodness! Tea leaf salad is amazing!!! This is a family owned tiny restaurant in an unassuming part of Aurora with some of the best food I have ever eaten. The owner is a sweet heart and super talented in the kitchen. He will explain all about Burmese cuisine and the inspiration for each dish. This is a must try! Then tell your friends. Make this the most popular take out in Denver. This place deserves it.

    This is a review for takeout. It was our first time trying the spot since it transitioned from Cho…read moreLon, which I loved. We ordered General Cho's dumplings (4 dumplings) and shrimp pad Thai, and the total was $38.70 . There is a 20% service fee which doesn't feel great when you're getting takeout and not actually being served. Anyway, high prices aside, the food was just ok. The dumplings were good, and the pad Thai was not what we were expecting. There was essentially no peanut flavor, and tasted more like pad see ew. There was one strong flavor, and no room for any of the other flavors (like the shrimp, noodle, or veg) to come through, even after squeezing the lime. Glad to have a locally owned restaurant in the neighborhood, but wasn't impressed and likely will not return.

    Delicious, modern Asian food with a nod to classical European cooking…read more My wife and I ordered most items on the happy hour menu. We shared French Onion Soup Dumplings, General Cho's Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Cake Bao Buns, Pork Belly Bao Buns, Kaya Toast, Autumn Squash Dumplings, Salt & Pepper Calamari, Korean Hot Fried Chicken Slider, and Kimchi Fried Rice with Pork Belly. Some items blew me away more than others. What stood out the most to me were the General Cho's Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Cake Bao Buns, and Kaya Toast. Service was well-paced and our server was kind. We went early on a Sunday and we were the only ones in the restaurant until we nearly left. So the ambiance for us during that time was quiet and warm.

    A true hidden gem - do not miss this place!…read more This Vietnamese restaurant is one of those spots you hope stays a local secret forever, but it's just too good not to share. The food, portions, flavors, and overall experience are absolutely outstanding. First - you cannot leave without trying the homemade ginger ale. I have no idea what magic they put into it, but it is truly out of this world. It's unique, refreshing, and easily one of the most memorable drinks I've had at a restaurant. The pho is consistently delicious - packed with incredible flavor. The sesame chicken is another standout, but honestly, the curries are where this place really shines. My friend said the lamb curry was one of the best things he has ever eaten, and I completely understand why. The curries come out piping hot and overflowing- literally. The atmosphere is just as special as the food. The inside has such a great vibe - cozy, welcoming, and full of character. They also have the cutest little patio that feels like a hidden oasis with all the greenery and homey touches. The management and staff are phenomenal. They are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your experience. They constantly check in and somehow always seem to surprise you with something extra. You can tell this place is run by people who truly love what they do. We've done both takeout and dine-in, and the quality never changes. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. They also have great vegan options, so there really is something for everyone. They are connected with the same ownership/management as Golden Bánh Mì next door, which is also incredible - clearly there is a passion for creating amazing food and experiences.

    Vietnamese spot with classics and some other Asian items too…read more Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (bun bowls $17) Opentableable: no Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Crispy egg rolls: bumpy crispy exterior and filled with pork inside. Delightful version. 4.5 stars - Bun bowls: large sized with soft noodles and fresh veggies. Pork was in small slices and glazed a bit and full shrimp was plump which I loved since some places give you flat small butterflied overcooked pieces. 4.25 stars - Chicken dumplings: steamed with a good thin wrapper and tasty filling. 4 stars - Ginger ale: freshly made with real chunks of ginger and some sweetness. 4 stars - Nice semi circle booths in the back - Decor: cute white lights, greenery, and Asian art pieces. Lowlights: - Took a while to come take our order but think they were short staffed that day but gave us a few appetizers which I appreciated.

    Ordered online via their site. Didn't take too long for delivery. The portions were enough to share…read morewhen it came to the orange chicken. Requested non spicy & they delivered perfectly. Fried rice was typical, egg fried rice, no veggies. The veggie egg rolls didn't wow me until I had it with both sauces: I believe sweet and sour with some Chinese mustard. Really brings the rolls up a notch. Nicely crispy for both the chicken and the rolls. Thai iced tea had perfect flavor, ice to drink ratio & I wish I got more than one because it was difficult to pace myself. Overall, if I ended up in Denver again with a long layover this is what I'd want. Probably skip the fried rice for regular steamed rice and order x2 drinks. $31.20 meal cost $15.24 for fees + tip

    Good lil mom n' pops Chinese restaurant in Aurora…read more.. Stopped in after a long trail day... "Vintage" looking place (definitely needs a facelift). The restaurant itself is presumably a small family owned joint, but has plenty of seating. Surprisingly, they were not busy at all for a Friday night... No problem, we got immediately seated and waited on. The lady running the place was super friendly and funny... Jokes for days, and the strong Chinese accent made it even funnier. Our food came out quick, enormous portions (way too much to eat in one setting), and was respectable Americanized Chinese food... Not the best I've had, but still good. $50 for dinner / 2 people, but they give you enough for 4 people, so I thought it was really well priced. Overall, good pick on our part... I'll definitely come back again when in town for work.
