Very small place, food was decent size portions, service was a bit slow. Tea leaf salad, asked for it to be mild, pretty mild, didnt get any flavor in the first bite but felt more after eating the nuts that were in it. Portion was small for two people but good size for one person. The chicken paratha, worried because it was red on the inside but I think it was still fully cooked, not sure. The deep fried breading part was delicious and the sauce that was used for delicious. Would be nice if domino used fresh fruit instead of canned fruit but the dessert was still good. The dessert looked cool, reminded me of the tri level drinks in vietnamese drinks with pan dan. Strawberry ice cream, canned peaches, canned grapes, pandas, coconut milk and the lowest level don't know was it was. Overall nice people, good place to try if you wanted to try some Myanmar food.

MYANMAR 🇲🇲 Eat the World LA review: Nadi lives quietly around the corner from Main on N. 4th Street, and for appearing so small it holds a surprising number of people, put on full display as it filled up during the course of this meal. Most of the interior is painted a bold and bright red, except for one wall which is completely covered by a painted photo of Bagan's many temples. Nadi has a pretty simple two-sided menu of Burmese cuisine, but an interesting section labeled "special" focuses on renditions of kyah-oh, a particularly popular rice noodle soup in the country. You can get pork or chicken kyay oh as soup, or served without the broth in a "sichet" version. This pork kyay oh ($9.99) is loaded with ground pork and intestine, and also comes with tofu, quail egg, fish cake, and mustard greens in a pork bone broth.

One of my pet peeves about being a New Yorker is that you'll have to acknowledge limitations to the best city on earth cliche. I wouldn't have to fling myself onto the SoCal freeways for the daily commute (thanks to the flawed but functional NYC subway, if I have to drive on a daily basis I would go Mad Max on everyone), and I won't have to go too far for groceries. That being said, it's nice to live in a clean looking city without discernable seasons, where you can shut out the unfavorable minorities with an expensive car residing in a different zipcode. Oh yeah, and Burmese food. For some reason someone forgot to populate NYC with Burmese restaurants. The closest that we have for one is in Montreal...Canada (and it was only okay/so-so). So me and the missus were in the Monterey Park/Alhambra/San Gabriel area looking for Japanese model kits, and as such, we were in the area until around 7p. We were trying to figure out what we want for supper. Since Monterey park is "Little Taipei", Alhambra is "Little Hong Kong", and San Gabriel is where Chinese businessmen stash away their mistresses (kidding, kidding), the missus has her eyes out for Taiwanese. I was okay with the conc

Hole in the wall that serves delicious Myanmar food. Although the restaurant can get a little stuffy during the summer, the food is worth the slight discomfort. The portions were fair for the price! I ordered the slow-cooked pork tomato curry, which wasn't decadent to the taste. The tea leaf salad is also a good pick!

The food is great and the staff are so nice! Love walking over here to eat. The space is a bit small but we have generally been able to find a table without much of a wait.
