This was the second time we dined with this company (we ate at their other location, Top Burmese, just a few days prior, and really enjoyed their food). This location was much larger and a little more upscale than the other, as the interior was more carefully and ornately decorated. It also had a slightly different menu than the first, which we really enjoyed because we were able to try a bunch of new items.
We tried their green tea leaf salad, which was a very funky, but delicious salad, with sautéed and seasoned tea leaves, and lots of crunch, coming from pepitas, roasted chickpeas, sesame seeds, fried garlic, and peanuts. It's definitely not your traditional salad, but I really enjoyed its uniqueness, and it was my favorite dish of the night. I would highly recommend trying it! We also tried their yellow chickpea tofu nuggets, which were wonderfully seasoned, with a crisp bite to their outer shell, as well as their Burmese tofu curry with coconut rice, mango chicken curry, and garlic noodles with tofu.
All of their dishes were tasty, however, like the other location, all of their food was just WAY too salty. I needed to eat a lot of rice and drink a lot of water to be able to swallow their food, and I think they would have all been even more delicious with much less salt. After a while, it was hard to continue eating the food because it was SO salty.
However, despite the food's excessive saltiness, we still had a good experience. The servers were great and the robot server was a cute addition to the restaurant as well. I would recommend Burma Joy because it still is a very nice restaurant, just beware of the salt!
