We ate here one October night in their parklet set-up. We were the only ones outside and there were no heat lamps. Thankfully the food came out really quickly. The servers were nice and didn't forget about us out there.
It was refreshing to see tea leaf salad priced under $15. It was the more authentic cabbage version and very good. The daughter declared the chicken coconut soup better than the samosa soup we get at nearly every Burmese restaurant. We got a side order of the plata to dip in the soup.
We had the chef special crispy chicken and that was pretty good, but I've had better Nan gyi dok elsewhere. The noodles were too gummy in their version. Also, this and the soup were too similar. I wish we'd only gotten one of these dishes (and clearly that would be the soup).
