Summary:
Lighter Burmese eats
Details:
I'm always on the lookout for eats in this general area, given our frequent weekend shopping trips to the nearby Costco, so I was surprised to find out that this "new" Burmese spot I had found on Yelp was not actually so new, and has been around for several years now! My girlfriend pointed out that despite us being in the area so often, we're usually just doing a stop-and-go for coffee, so... fair.
Not having been to Burma (or Myanmar, rather), I can't comment on the authenticity of any Burmese I've had here. That said, BoB's flavors definitely feel lighter than the competition here, comparing against spots like Mandalay, Burma Superstar, Mingalaba, and so on. While that was a bit of a negative when it came to the tea leaf salad, this wasn't actually a bad thing for the dorfy chicken and shwe taung noodles we had, which all had a pretty good balance of flavors, and didn't leave us comatose afterwards.
They also carry a Burmese tea, which is similar to Thai tea, but described to us as stronger and less sweet. While the sweetness of the iced version can't be adjusted, the hot can, down to about 20%, though I'd recommend a bit more, as that was a little too tea-bitter, even for me.
Accessibility:
Small shop with both indoor and outdoor seating. Accessible-ish: tables are a bit on the closer side so I can see it being harder if they're busy, and the way the table legs are designed (tripod legs) means it may be difficult/impossible to scoot in further.
