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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
