Unfortunately I've got to give it three stars; not because the food was average overall, but because some of it was great and some of it was... not great.\n\nThe samosas and summer rolls were both very nice, with the summer rolls a little thick and gummy for my taste but stuffed nicely (and with avocado -- new to me for summer roll purposes, but welcome).\n\nHere we get to the hit-and-miss section. The \"Myanmar Shan Tribe Noodle\" was pungent, peppy and delicious, though more of a noodle soup than the menu made it sound. It would be a 5/5 if judged on this dish alone.\n\nWe also got the Thai Basil Leaf Chicken, being one of our litmus test Thai dishes, and the Malaysia style fried rice. The latter I was expecting to be somewhat like Nasi Goreng, the Indonesian version, but it was very moist, almost like risotto, and somewhat bland. I could taste the salted fish but none of the spice I was expecting.\n\nThe Thai Basil Leaf Chicken was almost entirely tasteless. I'm not sure how you can make a Thai recipe tasteless -- it seems like you'd have to go out of your way to do it -- so we were very confused. The initial spoonful each was all we could muster.\n\nI think Burma-Tokyo is very much a 5/5 if you order the right thing, and sadly rather less than that if you don't."^^ . "0"^^ . .
