Ledu Restaurant

The authentic taste in menu offerings makes up for the dark, one lamp lighted (literally) restaurant space that doubles as a Burmese store. Remnants of pre-COVID buffet still prevalent. Shan Noodles, though a bit dry on sauce, had an excellent spicy-savory flavor, topped with chicken and peanuts. Accompanying house made chili sauce, a must. Come for the flavor, not the service.

I tried this burmese kyay oh and like it! big portion! the owner is friendly and nice!

Verdict: Solid Burmese food. Expect a down-to-earth dining experience. Atmosphere: It was a very interesting experience. We arrived during dinner time. For some reason, the owner did not turn on any of the ceiling lights or HVAC system. It was quite dark and quiet. Then eventually, the owner decided it was too dark, so a very strong LED lamb in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant was setup with dining furniture, but also... the owner's personal space with a TV and a couch. They also sold Burmese goods at what it looks like a buffet area that's no longer in operation. Everything was clean though.

Garlic’s Noodles To Go is a must-try for anyone who loves garlic and noodles.

They might close before 9? Walked in Friday night at 7:20pm and most of the lights were out (but their door was open). Asked if they were open and a older gentleman gestured for us to sit. (Update: Tried to go at 7:40pm another night and they were already shut down tighter than a drum. It's like they're allergic to money.) Food was good but service was odd. Like if you didn't grow up with a surly, emotionally distant Asian mom like I did, you may feel uncomfortable. For instance, the first thing out of her mouth was not "welcome" or simply "hi," but "no more buffet." Not sure if they meant "today" or "*ever*," but I didn't ask...? I think the woman was the chef and not only the waitress because she walked between the kitchen and the fridge (just out in the dining room) a lot as well as served us, while the man mostly just sat there. Garlic chicken, mo hinga (fish soup), and pork curry were great. The mo hinga was not fishy and was topped with delicious fried lentils that were like a crunchier version of tempura flakes. The pork curry included hunks of soft, gelatinous tendon (not fat but you might get confused) and came with rice. The rice noodles were a bit thin and on the cusp of becoming too soft. Tea leaf salad was good too but not as good as at Rangoon Ruby. You have to mix it a lot or the clumps of tea will be too salty. I feel a little snubbed that another reviewer got homemade chili sauce but we got a bottle of Huy Fong sriracha, lol. Portions and prices are reasonable. Two of us polished off 4 dishes. Shan noodles are apparently the dish to get at Burmese, according to Eater San Francisco, but I didn't notice they had it until later. The menu has no prices and the bill apparently includes tax and doesn't charge any B.S. fees. We tipped well and paid cash because I couldn't trust Maps saying they take card and communication was a bit difficult.

Burmese authentic food, not ready made! Fresh. Food is very tasty. Clean. Would go back here whenever i had a chance! Spices, condiments available 😉

Great Southeast Asian flavours and tasty soups were perfect in the chilly coastal town of Pacifica. Dry Shan noodles and garlic were wonderful too.

Cash only and no prices posted. I liked the mohingna.
