"On weeknights when you’d rather fold 100 fitted sheets than pull out a frying pan and cook dinner, the answer is always Burmese Kitchen. This spot has a lengthy menu of soups, noodles, and meat and seafood entrées—so if you don’t know where to start, go for the springy garlic noodles. They’re loaded with pork and crunchy garlic you’ll want atop everything on the table. They pair well with the bone-in chicken coconut curry, an onion-y dream. The best part? Walk in and you’ll always find a seat inside the bright orange space. " - julia chen 1
