The fish curry was flavorful and perfectly spiced, with tender fish that soaked up the delicious sauce. The coconut rice was fragrant and creamy, a perfect match for the curry. The service was friendly and the atmosphere cozy, making it a great place for any meal. If you’re looking for authentic Burmese food, I highly recommend trying the fish curry and coconut rice here.

Friendly service and delicious options in the varied menu. The tea leaf salad was especially memorable for its unusual mixture of tastes and the curry soup very yummy. An excellent introduction to Burmese cuisine.

Delicious and unique vegetarian food! My only gripe is the quantity compared to the cost. For around $20 per dish, I expected a more generous quantity for entrees.

Very tasty food everytime we have been. One feedback for the restaurant is that for the price, you may consider the portion size .its very very small portion sizes. When you are charging almost 18 to 20 dollars per dish, offer more than a cup of food so customer feels a bit satisfied. It won’t cost you that much more and it will make your customers even more happy.

Been here a couple times now. Their usually pretty busy and requires a wait. It's a relatively small sized restaurant. Had the tea leaf salad $18.50, coconut chicken soup $18.50, lamb curry dahl $25, Burmese style curry chicken $19, Burmese style curry prawns $24, tampoi rice $10. All the food is slightly above average. Portions are a but small for the price. Service is decent. Food takes a while to come out. Overall, it's decent. But I do have pretty high standards for Burmese food since I have Burmese family and have tried a lot of Burmese restaurants

Loved Burmese food, it's fresh, spicy and flavorful. The staff were quite attentive even when it was a very busy Thursday night. Would definitely come back again.

Found Mingalaba off of Yelp. Two of us ordered: palatha crispy pancake with curry $11.50 lap pat dok salad $18 house special noodle $18 Flavors were good. Staff was friendly. Sat immediately for a Monday dinner. Street parking only. Came on a holiday, so didn't need to pay, otherwise, seems like metered parking only. Can definitely be hard to find spots during peak hours.

Mingalaba is a solid spot for Burmese food. I visited with a friend and overall, we had a good experience. The dishes were flavorful and well-prepared — definitely captured the essence of Burmese cuisine. We ordered three dishes along with a bowl of rice for each of us. While everything tasted great, the portion sizes felt a bit lacking. For two people, the amount of food wasn’t quite enough, even with three different dishes. We left still a bit hungry. That said, everything else was great. The service was attentive, and the waitstaff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was casual but welcoming. If the portion sizes were just a bit more generous, this would easily be a top pick. Still, worth visiting for the taste and overall experience.

came here on a weekday evening and we were seated immediately. we ordered the pumpkin chicken curry and the rainbow salad. the salad was flavorful and delicious, and the curry was good although the portions were small, there were only a few pieces of chicken but 3 massive pieces of kabocha squash that basically took up the entire bowl. overall was a good dinner, just wish the portions were more reasonable for the price.

Samosas and paratha first dishes were very good. Samosas were large and not over oily. House noodles was middling. Curries and basil pork were very good. Tea salad was tasty but a small portion. Fairly expensive with the mandatory service charges. Service is uneven quality. Outdoor eating area can be very noisy with the hard, low ceiling and the car traffic very close by.

TL;DR: In a vacuum the food is okay and the service is great, but in context with the pricing and competition it's not good. Good things first - The service is fantastic. It's quick, courteous, and enhances the experience noticeably. The tea leaf salad is very good and I have gotten it every visit. It's seasoned very well while being pretty light, and the crunch and nuttiness is unmatched by any other similar salad I've had. Okay, now the not so good - The mango chicken was disappointing. The white meat chicken pieces used were small, all of them being as small if not smaller than popcorn chicken pieces. The mango part of this dish was literally just pieces of mango mixed in with the chicken. Mixed in. Not fried with the chicken nor was there a sauce. The dish was dry sauteed bits of white meat with chunks of mango in it. When the fish fillet with black bean sauce came out, my first question was, "is this it?" and my second was, " where's the black bean?" There were only about 15 pieces of black bean in the entire dish and the flavor reflected that. The dish was also 60% steamed/blanched broccoli too. This $24 dish gave us 5, maybe 6 bites of unnamed white fish with a black bean garnish and a head of broccoli. Overall, this most recent visit is the most disappointed I've been. I gave it 3 chances before posting this review and won't be revisiting.

This salad is very very tiny for $20. I got it to take out and it’s very sad. I love this restaurant. We eat here all the time and I’ve never thought the portions were small until this takeout. So little cabbage. Box is pretty empty
