Min Lan Seafood

If you are thinking of seafood, Min Lan should not be forgotten. This restaurant is a Rakhine traditional food restaurant and is famous for its cuisine and fresh seafood. It has opened many branches. I had a great experience dining there. Every dish we ordered was delectable. I love Rakhine food. Their Rakhine Monti is fresh, tasty and authentic. It is a fish base soup and that fish is unique. The rice noodles are homemade. If you like to have a salad, you can choose either Rakhine style which is spicy or Burmese style which is normal. Annawa soup which is known as seafood soup is amazing. It's sour and spicy with many sweet fresh seafood. I prefer this soup over roasted annawa dish and I do recommend it. Steamed squid with ink and squid salad are also great. Prawn tempura and seaweed salad is a must. Rakhine prawn curry is delicious too and the curry is based with tamarind and some traditional spice. Mixed vegetable salad is a Rakhine style which is worth trying. If you are willing to observe Rakhine traditional food, this is a guaranteed spot. They have several menus and various seafood. Seafoods are really fresh and clean. When everything is finished, having Hlaw sar (light alcoholic dessert) as a dessert is delightful. It tastes like palm juice or light yogurt. For the price, it is very affordable for its quality. I really recommend it. If you cannot have spicy food, better request to prepare a mild one. Private rooms are also available.

Great Rakhine restaurant with fresh seafood! Very much recommended! But I hope they have a room to improve the sanitation of the place. The place offers spur and picky food as well as sweet taste. A recommended place for those who wants to have fresh local seafood with reasonable price. There can be much of a crowd since it is a popular place in town so it would be better to take a private room and have a meal for those who don’t like noisy surrounding!

Delicious traditional rakhine foods and fresh seafood meals. Good place for those who craving spicy traditional foods and hanging out with family or relatives. Crowded during lunch time but the waiting time is acceptable also the price. Staffs need to be well-trained to be friendly and warm.

Good service as always. The food is very good for Myanmar standard and this is the reason why it is always very crowded. Definitely recommend to make a reservation and preorder the special seafood in advance. Tried the seafood fried rice, stirred fried mantis with garlic, salt and pepper, seasoned bamboo clams and steamed fish with lime and chili. All the dishes were really good.. they also gave free fish and pepper soup.

We're Thai and the food here are not so different. We enjoyed grilled prawns dish. Spicy dipping sauce that goes with it is somewhat similar to what we do with seafood dish in Thailand. We also ordered fried rice and some traditional Burmese dish. Staff were helpful and kind. The price isn't high for us given the big portion they serve.
