Little Myanmar

"This is quite simply the best Burmese restaurant in the city. The interior is bare-bones and not particularly comfortable — though your ability to see into the kitchen is an advantage and a pleasure. The 100-item menu covers the vast sweep of the national cuisine, from athokes (salads — try the tea-leaf version) to noodle soups, stir-fries, and curries." - Robert Sietsema

"This East Village spot, run by Thidar Kyaw, Tin Ko Naing, and their daughter Yun Naing, offers a broad menu of Burmese cuisine, including soup, salads, paratha chicken, and curries." - MICHELIN Guide

"Little Myanmar is quite simply the best Burmese restaurant the city has yet to see. The interior is bare bones and not particularly comfortable — though your ability to see into the kitchen is an advantage and a pleasure. The 100-item menu covers the vast sweep of the national cuisine, from the salads called athokes (try the tea-leaf version) to noodle soups, stir fries, and curries." - Robert Sietsema

"Burmese Bites, initially a stand at Queens Center Mall, is expanding to Manhattan with a kiosk inside Mona Kitchen. The menu includes three different noodles and beef curry rice, with all dishes being halal-friendly. The expansion was inspired by the chef's sister who works at the United Nations. The restaurant aims to introduce Burmese cuisine to a wider audience." - Emma Orlow

"Burmese cuisine in a cozy 14-seat venue run by Thidar Kyaw and Tin Ko Naing. The extensive menu includes a Burmese pancake, fermented tea leaf salad, hearty dishes like paratha chicken and curries, all suited for sharing." - MICHELIN Guide
