Burmese Harp

This shop is little & cozy authentic Burmese restaurant in Brooklyn. I truly recommend to try . It’s worthy more than that you expected. If you go & try , I’m sure you will be back again & again .You must try Chicken tapioca noodles soup & bubble tea.

It feels like being back in Burma based on how authentic the food is (especially in the US!). We got the “Yummy Tempura Roll” which is a tempura roll with filling inside. Delicious! We also got the Shan Noodles which I’ve always loved and the Kyay Oh with the soup. No complaints at all about the food and service. The side dishes that complement the entrees were perfect as well. Best part is that the place also takes card!! Glad to have Burmese Harp in Brooklyn and looking forward to going again.

Amazing! We can't wait to come back! My partner told me there was a Burmese restaurant he wanted to try. I think the restaurant does more take out than dine in (due to its size) and it looks more of a take out place from the outside, but the ambiance was perfect. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We got a little excited and ordered two apps and two mains - which is probably too much, but we somehow finished it all. The pickled tea leaf salad is great! Also the green papaya salad was one of the best I have had in a long time. We also did the Harp signature rainbow noodle salad which was delicious. And per many people's recommendations we also ordered a Mohinga, which I will be coming back for! Very happy to have this place open up in Bay Ridge!

Jack of all trades, master of none Got a Thai papaya salad, Japanese salmon teriyaki and Chinese sesame chicken. All are classic dishes but they failed on each one. Very odd how they prepared them and not traditional n bad way. Perhaps their Burmese food is better but I won’t be finding out.

I've never had Burmese food before so was excited to find this place randomly as I was running errands in the area. The restaurant is unassuming with only a few small tables. The owner was very nice and answered all my questions and gave me recommendations. Ended up getting the mohinga, vegetable fritters, garlic noodles, and pickled tea leaf salad. Also got a coconut jelly for dessert. The food was decent but overall needed a bit more salt. Portion sizes were big for the price and the flavor was there. The mohinga was interesting and I enjoyed the flavors but needed a hint more salt to bring out the flavors more. Vegetable fritters were a bit on the greasy side but enjoyed the different ingredients they used especially the chickpea tofu which I've never had before. Garlic noodles were tasty and chicken meatballs were juicy and tender. The tea leaf salad was very interesting and nothing like I've had before. I wish I liked the coconut jelly more but it was not a texture I typically enjoy. Would come back to try other dishes and just make sure to add a dash of salt to the food.

I was born in Burma and was accustomed to my mun and sister's Burmese food. This is a home style food that just brought back memories. The owners, Tun Tun and his wife Moe, were very welcoming. Their mohigna and chicken coconut soup is to die for. All the fried items we had were not greasy and crispy. In the attached pictures, you can see a single bowl with vegetables. That is sour vegetable with shrimp. It's not on the menu yet, but they made it for my wife and I upon our request. That is something rear and delicious, and my suggestion is to call ahead and see if they can make you sour vegetable ( that is as home style as you can get). Don't forget the desert ( the great photo). It is so well balanced. In summary, I have tried most of the Burmese restaurants in the 5 boros, and this is the best and most authentic. A MUST TRY. Let me know what you all think after trying.

We tried two soups, both were refreshing, one was coconut curry based and one was light. Thai iced tea was relatively deep but sweet and the honeydew smoothie was great. Coconut layered cake was not too sweet which is a compliment! The only con I can think of is that they don’t have a bathroom. Next time, we’ll try their Japanese menu…

Delicious food at a nice, convenient spot. The Burmese food is authentic and filling. Sushi is fresh and fried rice hits the spot!! Friendly service too! Will come back and a must recommend.

I was sad when the Thai place that was in this spot closed but not as much after trying the Burmese food here. We came here a few minutes after they should've been open but the door was locked so we hung around the area and came back 15 minutes later. Place is small and cozy, only has a handful of tables that seat 2-4 people. My friend and I ordered the Kyae Ohh Garlic Noodle (dry) which came with a side of soup and the Chicken Tapioca Soup that I requested to have noodles put in. The garlic noodle is a little bland by itself but the table has a lot of sauces that you can use to spruce it up. My friend use the side soup to dip the noodles which made it very good. I ordered the Chicken Tapioca Soup which I think normally doesn't come with noodles but I wanted a heartier lunch and they were very nice about me wanting to add noodles. The soup is the thick consistency and flavorfulness I've been searching high and low for in a noodle dish I had in Vietnam called Banh Canh Cua and I finally found it here (with chicken instead of seafood). Overall they did not skimp on the portion size because it seemed like never ending bowls for both of us. I will definitely be back.

This place took over a long-standing neighborhood hole in the wall Thai spot, so I decided to check it out since there aren't many Burmese places around. I wasn't sure what to expect since Burmese food is pretty rare, but the coconut noodle broth was very, very subtle in flavor. If you prefer bold, flavorful soups, this dish probably isn't for you. It also seemed like some ingredients were missing--both from the listed description and the photo, like the egg and chickpea crisp. What I got was just noodles, a few chunks of what seemed to be curry chicken, some cilantro, and a pint of broth with bits of onion. I'll come back to try the tea leaf salad since that's what they're known for, but the noodle dish was pretty disappointing, especially since it was listed as one of their most popular items.

What a pleasant addition to the neighborhood. Small and cozy seating area. Lots of take out orders being placed in person and on the phone. The staff was warm and helpful in assisting with choosing dishes. The tea leaf salad had lots of depth and texture, I really enjoyed it. It had layers of peanuts, mung beans, dried shrimps and crispy garlic chips. The tomato's and citrus really perfected it. The garlic noodle stir fry was delicious, called Kyae Ohh Garlic Noodle on the menu. It had lots of protein, chicken dumplings, fish cakes, and quail eggs on a bed of delicately prepared noodles (similar to angel hair). Do not miss out ! They also have a Japanese menu including sushi but you can get that any where in the area. Burmese not so much, happy exploring.

A much needed & very welcome addition to the neighborhood! Overjoyed would be an understatement for my fiance, who has been craving mohinga. Given there's only a handful of burmese restaurants throughout NYC, having one right in Brooklyn is a blessing! Burmese Harp seems to have opened fairly recently, but we saw a good number of diners within their small and intimate restaurant. One things for sure - they're authentic. For table service, only Burmese dishes are available, but takeout offers some Japanese items. I'd only note - please be patient, as it's a small mom & pops shop, and they make the food to order. My fiance & I ordered their Mohinga ($11.99) and received our order in about 15 minutes. The fish soup is soo deeply savory, and it's not fishy at all. For spice lovers, highly recommend adding a scoop of their dried chili flakes. Toppings were generous with the fried chickpeas & egg, and overall portions were good. We finished off with the Banana Suji, which tastes a little bit like a banana sponge cake. Can't wait to be back to try other dishes, and would highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Burmese experience. Cash & card are both accepted. Inside seating fits about 12 people total.

It's hard to find Burmese food in New York so I was excited to hear that this new Burmese restaurant opened in Bay Ridge. This is a cozy spot (only 4 tables for dine in) serving up home style cooking with friendly hospitality. They have a Burmese menu and a Japanese sushi menu. I opted for Burmese of course. Since I was unfamiliar with most of the menu items, I asked the owner to help me choose a dish. He recommended the kyae ohh garlic noodles. The noodles themselves (which is a rice vermicelli) are flavorful and garlicky and there's a very generous amount of it in the bowl. It's served with minced chicken sausage (flavorful but benefitted from some hot sauce), fish balls (a little too spongy for my taste), and a side of broth (incredibly good, probably my favorite). This place is definitely a hidden gem worth checking out if you're looking for something different.

So glad this has opened in Bay Ridge! Burmese food is terrific, and they do a great job at Burmese Harp. Excellent noodle dishes and salads, including a superb version of Burma's famous tea leaf salad. The two noodle dishes we got (Rainbow Noodle Salad and Nan Pyar Noodle Salad) had very different kinds of noodles but in both cases the noodles were springy and well seasoned; both were delicious. Phone ordering was easy and delivery was quick. Will be ordering again soon.

Ordered a lot on the menu so I can try all the different type of burmese food as there's not a lot of burmese restaurant here in Brooklyn. Service is great and clean. It's a small shop where there's a few tables. I love their fried tofu and burmese tea and their garlic noodles. Will definitely try again as the food really did hit the spot.

Found out about this little burmese restaurant through a friend and I have to say, the food here tastes almost as good as my mom's cooking. Tea leaf salad (Lah Phet Thoke) and Mohinga was delicious. Highly recommend paying this place a visit if you can.

The food was great and the service was very friendly and efficient. Since Burmese food is a rare find, even in NY, it was absolutely worth it to come here. We had the fried tofu, mohinga, shan noodles, kyae ohh garlic noodle, and banana suji. All the food came out great, everyone in my group enjoyed the everything we ordered and we all wish we lived closer.

Amazing outstanding food is cooked to order so it's always fresh very friendly clean establishment. The food is a 10 out of 10. They use very high-quality ingredient and whenever I'm having it delivered is always piping hot. This is the best thing that ever happened in Bay Ridge.

Brooklyn is more conservative than queens and one way is that there are fewer unusual ethic food options available. Burmese harp plays by the rules and offers sushi and sesame chicken. Skip them and head for the Burmese menu. I had a warming bowl of fish soup (tho it could use more fish) with a ton of noodles , eggs and crunchy bits for texture. More of this please.

Small cozy hidden gem located in convenient place or Burmese people and other Burmese food lover. Their menu is simple but authentic taste. Excellent service.They match the sauce with your order which is rare to find in here( E.g Tamarind sauce for Fried Tofu; red chili sauce and pickles chili for Kyay Oo, onion mint chutney for Biriyani). Hope they can get more local customers( other than Burmese) so that they can stay in this area for long term.

First time trying them and the food is delicious! I had the chicken meatball noodle soup with fish balls and it was absolutely delicious. Light and refreshing in a chicken broth with a light hint of garlic, I think. Perfect for a fall afternoon, which rice noodles and springy fish calls. The other dish I tried is the rainbow noodle stir fry salad. It wasn't as striking for me as the soup but it was quite yummy, with a gentle savory taste and a light crunch from the small dried shrimp. I think there are some tofu pieces mixed in too, which add a little texture. Overall, very excited to try more dishes if I can!

So good has all my favorite foods in one shop. Respectful service and quick serving times.
