| - I was excited to try Burma-Tokyo because I love finding little hole-in-the-wall places with interesting, authentic-tasting food. However, I was disappointed by my dinner. We ordered a vegetable tempura appetizer, which was ok. I mean, tempura is tempura, it was hot and greasy (a good thing for tempura!) but some of the vegetables inside the batter were just unidentifiable. I had one piece with sweet potato (yum) and then another with some white thing inside that didn't have much flavor. So it was a little hit-and-miss.
I ordered the dish called "Nepal" with was a piece of roti, veggie samosas, and tomato-based soup with potatoes and chicken. The roti was tasty, though greasy, and the samosas were not the best I've ever had. They were okay, but could have been more flavorful. The soup was my least favorite part of the dish-- it was very salty.
To the restaurant's credit, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing... my boyfriend ordered a fried rice dish that he loved, and devoured the whole thing. The service was quick and friendly, but I was not all that impressed by the food. Next time I am having a craving for Asian food, I think I will try somewhere else.
