Burmese, Thai, Karen cuisines: tea leaf salad, mohinga, burgers





























"Frogtown’s Mandalay Kitchen, from chef Chris Tunbaw, weaves together Burmese, Thai, and Karen cuisines, dishing up fermented tea leaf salad and steaming bowls of mohinga. But one gem on this menu is the chapli Juicy Lucy, an homage to Tunbaw’s childhood memories of eating chapli patties in Myanmar. The spiced beef patty is stuffed with ample American cheese and smeared with avocado-Dijon kewpie mayo with a side of hand-cut fries. Orders can be placed online and the restaurant accepts reservations through its website." - Cinnamon Janzer


"Mandalay Kitchen, the newest Burmese restaurant to open in Frogtown, serves a mean Juicy Lucy. The chapli-spiced patties pair a classic, oozy cheese filling with a smear of creamy avocado-Dijon mayo." - Serena Maria Daniels


"Mandalay Kitchen weaves together Burmese, Thai, and Karen cuisines, throwing in a chapli Juicy Lucy for good measure. During the lunch hour, come for tea leaf salad, Bangkok-style boat noodles, crispy samosas, and steaming bowls of mohinga (a peppery catfish chowder, the unofficial Burmese national dish)." - Justine Jones
