This place was magnificent. They could really use a little spic and span but the food was great. I took the recommendations of my fellow Yelpers and went with Kyawe soup although think it was called something different on the menu. The soup is one of Burmese popular soup, made with chicken broth, shrimp ball, fish ball, egg, quill egg, mustard leaf, chicken meat ball, pork ball and rice noodle. The menu boasts that all balls are Burmese's homemade style. I have never had any Burmese style balls I tried to do some independent study on shrimp balls on line in preparation for this meal but even that wasn't enough to prepare me for the heavenly goodness. The soup at first glance looked simple since the broth was clear but the flavors were so charming and likable.
I thought that I might not enjoy this soup since I am not a fan of pho but this was nothing like pho and commanded its own respect. With each bite I keep telling myself this is going to suck and I am not going to enjoy it I am about to put something in my mouth that is going to be funky I was so wrong.
I was surprised that I was the only one dining here at 12:00pm on a Thursday. Burma-Tokyo is off the beaten path though but very near Spice Island Tea House.
