| - I came here at about 8:00 PM on a Saturday, and (to my surprise) the restaurant was completely empty. The menu is basically split up into appetizers, specialties (from various parts of east Asia), and sushi. The sushi combos were an intriguing deal, but I bypassed ordering raw fish because of the emptiness of the restaurant.
I decided on the Myanmar specialty (Shan Tribe Noodle). I saw the ingredients chili paste and cilantro, so there was no way I could pass up on the dish. While waiting I was served a complimentary glass of tea which was a nice gesture.
Once served the noodle soup was delicious. It had a great contrast of flavors and textures. In regard to the former, the 'hot spices' were balanced with the 'aromatic spices.' In regard to the latter, the textures ranged from soft noodles and beans, to slightly crunchy but soft carrots, to the crunchy grounded peanuts. Overall, a very enjoyable dish.
The service was very attentive (though I was the only customer).
Note, the prices listed on the Yelp menu seem to be less than the current prices at the restaurant (as of 4/20/2013); for example, the Myanmar specialty dish is listed at $7.19 online but $8.99 at the restaurant.
