Delicious, carefully prepared and home-style Burmese noodle soups and salads reflecting a cuisine that combines Indian and Chinese influences. The prices are also extraordinarily affordable for the amount of effort and care put into the cooking ($6-7 for a bowl of noodle soup!).
Ordered coconut chicken noodle soup (oh no kaut see), ginger salad (Ginn thoke) and catfish noodle soup (mohinga - classic noodle soup eaten throughout Burma). The owner makes the rice noodles fresh and sources her ingredients locally. The ginger salad is a combination of crunch from fried beans and toasted sesame seeds, and sour and tangy from the fermented ginger and lime and sweetness from fresh shallot slices. Ask for fresh chilies if you order this. The mohinga is authentic - umame broth made from catfish and banana stem slices, whole sweet shallots, and seasoned with coriander leaf, lime and crunchy fried lentil "pancake". The oh no kaut see noodles are satisfyingly chewy, the broth creamy and tasty. I will be back to taste other dishes in the menu.
