| - I've never ventured into the Westview before but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to check out Burmese cuisine! I went on a Friday night around 7 with my family. Upon entering, we were a little unsure based on the appearance. This place is small and lacks decor and proper lighting for the dinner crowd. We were told to pick our town table and as we headed to a spot in the corner, a waitress passed us carrying a sushi boat. The moment we saw that boat, we knew all the Yelp reviews were accurate! Wow- beautiful presentation and variety!
We started with fresh spring rolls, squash fritters, blue crab roll and philly roll. They don't offer gluten free soy sauce but the sauces with the fritters and spring rolls are delicious. The rolls were fresh and exactly as described in the menu. The spring rolls were also freshly wrapped and not pre-made chilling in a fridge. I didn't try the fritters but my mom loved them, especially the sauce. We also ordered a Thai iced tea and an avocado milkshake. I thought my mother was going to choke on the milkshake she drank it so quickly. Her eyes were the size of dinner plates, she was so excited about how good it was. My Thai iced tea was refreshing! I used to make them when I worked at a Vietnamese restaurant & was very pleased with their version.
Our entrees were spicy noodle with steamed tofu and veggies, singapore noodles with shrimp ,beef with lentils and miso soup. I was disappointed with the spice level of my spicy noodle dish, especially since I asked for an 8. I had to order a side of hot sauce. Fortunately, they gave me chili pepper paste and it was the perfect addition! The Singapore noodles were amazing. The best I've ever had. I couldn't believe how much flavor pulled through the noodles on their own. I tried the lentil sauce and it had in Indian flavor twist. A bit of spice so the side of rice smoothed out the punch. The miso soup needed salt but other than that- it was just how I like miso! Loaded with seaweed and tofu!
For dessert, we shared sticky rice with fresh sliced mango. Alone, the rice isn't that sweet but enter the mango to spruce up the dish! Fantastic combination!
The prices are incredibly reasonable. Portion sizes are huge, everyone in my family had a to-go box. Service was very friendly and wait time wasn't too bad, considering how quickly the restaurant filled while we were there. I am pumped to go back and try more of their menu, especially a sushi boat!!
