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!

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 !

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!

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.

Had tea leaf salad, tofu salad, and a dragon fruit juice and it was the perfect summer meal. My friend and I are both south Asian and love tea leaf salad. It was super tasty and authentic. You can also choose your spice level. I love that this is a small, family run, restaurant with no bells and whistles. There is a simple bathroom you can use but you have to go through the kitchen. Price is right for the neighborhood.
