For being a brand new restaurant, sometimes my personal biases come into play and I expect errors in service, food orders getting messed up, etc, but coming here, you would have never known that they have just opened within the last month or so! General, service was fast, our food came out very quickly and was clearly made to order. We came in on a weeknight for dinner, and the restaurant was medium packed, there were a handful of tables open that we made a reservation to be safe.
To start off for appetizers, we did the Yangon samosas, which were essentially egg roll wrappers, with a samosa-like filling. Nothing to dislike there, they were hot, fresh, perfectly crunchy. The flavor profile is approachable especially if you are newer to Burmese food! Then, we did the tea leaf salad. It was definitely more other things besides just mixed lettuce - there were a bunch of crunchy bits, and there wasn't a lot of dressing on it - it was different than the standard salad and it's worth trying, and the flavors in general are not very strong so it was just a little bit less memorable than the other dishes we got.
For entrees, we did Khao Soi and Khao Ka Moo - both of these dishes were excellent. The Khao Soi was piping hot, the curry broth was bursting with umami without being too salty, the crispy noodles became soaked in the broth, and the noodles at the bottom we're not overcooked either. I've had my fair share of Khao Soi in the past and I would say this bowl ranks for sure above average! The Khao Ka Moo was also a tasty, hearty dish. There is more than enough braised pork to go around, and for me personally, I grew up being used to pieces of pork with fat on them that get rendered down in whatever they're stewing in, but for folks who aren't used to that, that can be kind of jarring (though I find it to be remarkably tasty). I loved the pickled greens that came with the dish, because they are perfect complement to cut through the fattiness of the pork.
My only regret is having eaten a few hours prior, because I wish I could have ordered more dishes! The ambience is open, two stories, and there is some history on the walls. I would definitely met anyone give this place a try and try something new in the meantime as well!
