Come early because a lot of things sell out. Get the anchovies tea salad, the curries, the coconut cream noodle.

Everything was great! Went on a Saturday for lunch with 6 people and we were the only ones in their up until the last 10 minutes when two people came in to eat. The staff are super nice, maybe because one of our friends was Burmese? But maybe they are still super nice? First time trying Burmese food, it was very good! Some of the apps had some unique and interesting flavor profiles that combatted each other but in a good way. Definitely better to split something since it is a little pricey.

As someone who is Burmese, it’s so great to have a spot that is authentic, super accessible in the city and vegetarian friendly! Definitely hits the spot for when I’m craving food from home. It’s run by Burmese people which is nice! They prefer cash if possible. Drinks are yummy too. My favorite just in general is the Shan noodles but they haven’t disappointed me with any of their other dishes like the salads and noodles !

Little Myanmar is a hidden gem that feels just like home- like a warm Burmese home…. The food is comforting and flavorful—every bite tastes like it was made with love. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely warm, making the entire experience feel personal. The cozy space, with about 14 tables, adds to the charm—intimate, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed meal. A place you’d want to keep coming back to.

This hole in the wall spot serves mind blowing flavors!!! FYI- it’s a small spot so expect to wait a little. We came without a reservation and were seated after 10-15 minutes of walking around the block. From past experience with Burmese food I knew we would get a salad or two, since Burmese salads are the most exciting taste and textures. They had run out of a few dishes (beef skewers and tofu salad) which was a bit challenging but luckily with a vast menu it was easy to replace parts of my initial order. We went for the tea leaf salad, the chicken noodle salad, the chicken curry, a chicken skewer, and the banana cake. The tea leaf salad…WOW. It may appear a little “ugly delicious” with the dark color of the tea leaves but holy moly. The crunch and flavors (garlic, baby shrimps, peanut, etc) made every bite delectable. My second favorite dish of the night was the chicken noodle salad. There was beef or chicken options but we had a Hindu friend with us so opted for chicken. WOW! The creaminess of the dish stood out. Served room temp like a salad. The chicken curry was bone in, but nothing too special a typical curry with basmati rice. Highly recommend the banana cake if you love bananas and coconut. Perfect couple bites of sweet that wasn’t too heavy. The menu also shows what magazines recommend like the New Yorker or Eater so it’s easy to pick out the star dishes. FYI almost all these pics are after a few bites of eating.

Absolutely incredible experience! The food was nothing short of fantastic—full of rich, authentic flavors that truly reminded me of the traditional dishes I’ve had before, but with a unique twist that made it special. Every bite was delicious. The pricing felt more than fair for the quality and portion sizes. On top of that, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made the whole dining experience even better. It’s halal friendly which is a bonus! Highly recommend!

What a phenomenal surprise! I had this restaurant marked from an article I read, and had lunch there solo. The dining room is very small and I took the last table. The flavors and textures were balanced, memorable, and unique. I've never had Burmese food before, and the menu was a great glimpse into the flavor profile. I only wish I could have tried everything on the menu! They are cash-only as of this writing, so come prepared. If you ever need to expand, come on up to the Upper West Side please!

Very sweet people. They took good care of us during lunch. The soup was fantastic.

Very authentic Burmese food. The place is extremely tiny but the food just taste like home. Everything we had was amazing! The goat curry was the best! No smell or what so ever and taste amazing! The Fish noodles was really good too!

My experience was good! I was happy that they had vegan dishes. I didn’t order much, but the appetizer I had was delicious! The roti and potato curry was tasty with a little spice. Would come again

As a Burmese resident here in Manhattan, I’m always craving good authentic Burmese food so I was thrilled when Little Myanmar opened up. The food & portion sizes never disappoint. Plus friendly staff! I’ve introduced so many of my friends here and they’ve all had positive reviews. Only downside is there’s no bathroom but the restaurant next door is nice enough to let customers use theirs.

Their meals demonstrate cooking expertise. Servers respond appropriately. Costs reflect worth. I can't express fully how much I appreciate Little Myanmar. Every item delivered sensory satisfaction. The employees greeted everyone with sincere smiles. This place exceeded all expectations!

Our first time trying Myanmar food and we're impressed. We found this restaurant on Michelin's list and wanted to give it a try. Just give everyone a heads-up that they don't take cards. Only cash or you can zelle/venmo them. The place is quite small, it fits 2 big tables and 2 small tables. It's seems like a family business, so please don't expect professional customer service here. They're slow but friendly, I think they try their best. Diving into the food. The tea salad was on point, this is my first time trying it, and I was in love. The seasoning is balance, and the textures of all the ingredients make this salad so special. Then my husband ordered one of their soup (they added vermicelli in the soup, and in Myanmar they eat it for breakfast), and I ordered my stir-fried noodles. I prefer mine better. My dish has a familiar taste with all the Asian dishes I've tried, that's why I like it. The price was not expensive and we were satisfied with the dishes.

It has been a while since our first try of Burmese cuisine in SF. We had high expectations before our visit to Little Myanmar. We tried 7 dishes, the portion was great with reasonable price. The flavor was overall not our type and a little different from our memories. Our favorite dish today was the Yellow Noodle Salad, the sauce was rich but not greasy at all. I personally like this pancake. The filling was flavorful with crispy layer but our friends thought it tasted a little abnormal sour . We might not visit it again but recommend it to people who would like to try something new.

Their food is excellent and inexpensive (compared to other NYC restaurants). We ordered Shan Noodle and Burmese Pancake - both were delicious! Would love to try their other dishes in future! Location is also very good. However, you have to pay in cash and they do not accept cards or any other forms of payment. Although they have put a sign board indicating they only accept cash, we only noticed the board after ordering our food. There is a ATM nearby but I felt it is very inconvenient in these days and age.

I rarely get to have Burmese food, but @littlemyanmar_nyc was very yummy I’d recommend to try them out! The group’s favorite was the yellow noodle salad. Very flavorful and we actually liked it more than the tea leaf salad which is the usual go-to at Burmese restaurants. The seatings are not that comfortable though, so I’d suggest doing takeouts instead of dine-in.

Our introduction to Burmese cuisine was not a disappointment. This is a hole in the wall place. Don't let it dissuade you. We had Tea leaf salad( which had a refreshing flavor with right amount of crunch), Burmese pancake (similar to dosa: same but different), Burmese prawns curry (it captured the flavor of prawns so well ) and tamarind juice (reminded of tamarindo, but unique in it's own way). We were amazed as to how food and flavors have similar echo around the world while maintaining it's own uniqueness. Totally recommend. Keep in mind, it's a cash only place.

Pros Great food. Loved it. Food is very flavorful and authentic. Cons: Cash only. They increased the price of tea salad and goat curry. Now it's not worth ordering those. Basically they took their best dishes and made it such that no one orders those ever again. Some weird business decision they made there. I didn't end up ordering those items for obvious reasons but the chicken thali was good nonetheless. Still, wanted to try the tea salad but I'm not going to spend $20+ on a salad.

How can a restaurant not have a restroom open to customers?! The waiter told me to go to Marshall’s to use the restroom, which is like 5 mins walk away and I had to get down 2 floors below - so inconvenient and customer-unfriendly! This place is also cash only as well. The food was good but in small portions that we still felt hungry after finishing each of our entrees plus an appetizer. We also highly doubt that the rice was frozen before or not fresh and was reheated in microwave because it came in lumps and didn’t taste freshly cooked that day. Almost no service at all. The waiter and waitress were mostly behind the curtain and has not come to us and ask us anything about the food, the water was also self-served through a big bottle. Not a good experience, wouldn’t come again. The no bathroom aspect was the most unacceptable part!

A cozy, hole-in-the-wall type place with all halal options and good service. I tried the beef curry which was alright. I was expecting a bit more flavour wise, but to be fair it was my first time trying Burmese food. I also tried a corn skewer and a chicken skewer, which I liked the most of the things I tried. They were seasoned well and the meat was pretty tender, as compared to the beef curry.

Recently discovered this spot which I thought was a gem and shared with others . However, after returning for the second time I decided to try their noodles and chicken and quickly found out it was a terrible mistake. The food was so oily , noodles extremely overcooked , chicken tasted nothing like chicken and completely tasteless! After a day of fasting I was so hungry I think even food with not that much flavor would be appreciated but I took two bites and couldn’t have more. I think what was most disappointing was the way the staff responded to my reaction of not having properly cooked food. There was no apology or any moderation offered whatsoever. My excitement for finding this spot was short lived and unfortunate since supporting small businesses is essential.

August 31st, 2025 This was perhaps our seventh or eighth visit, and sadly, it was the first time we left disheartened. From the outset, there was a shift in atmosphere—most notably a new and rather puzzling policy that barred us from using the restroom, something we had always relied upon in past visits. The food, which has always been this establishment’s saving grace, fared no better. The goat curry—once the crown jewel of the menu—arrived drowning in oil, its once-balanced richness reduced to a greasy broth with tough cuts of meat. It took three requests before a proper serving of curry emerged, and even then, the anticipation of savoring a longtime favorite turned into disappointment. The chicken thali, another staple, was equally uninspiring: the chicken unexpectedly sweet and unyielding, the accompaniments stripped of the depth and nuance that once defined them. The service too fell short. We found ourselves repeating requests multiple times before being understood—an avoidable lapse that reflects not only inattentiveness but also a lack of basic common sense in guest service. For a restaurant once marked by warmth and efficiency, this decline was as noticeable as the dip in food quality. Not all was lost. The Yangon tea and fish cake skewers still carried a touch of the charm that first won us over. They remain bright spots amid an otherwise lackluster spread. We sincerely hope this decline is the result of a transitional phase or a new chef still finding footing. This restaurant has been a place we’ve cherished, and we would like nothing more than to see it flourish again. But flourish it will only if the kitchen and service return to form—because the food, after all, is its only true USP.

Our couple and my friend went to a Little Myanmar restaurant. We ate thick rice noodles and rice with Yangon Chetty food and goat curry. While eating, we saw that the egg in the noodles had some hairs on it. The hair was soft pink, like it came from someone’s clothes. I always care about hygiene, even when I eat outside. That’s why I noticed it and showed them. They agreed with me that it was hair. We think the two women chefs might touched it with their clothes after removing the eggshell.
