Loved their Burmese coconut chicken soup! Service was great, waiters were really nice and attentive. Ambience was nice and cozy. A room for improvement would be to add a small portion (half bowl?) of white rice with any curry, with option to change to other type of rice or bread for additional cost.

Delicious and unique vegetarian food! My only gripe is the quantity compared to the cost. For around $20 per dish, I expected a more generous quantity for entrees.

We enjoyed our time here. There was a brief waiting time but they were very quick. Singapore noodles n chicken curry were delicious. Overall good food.

Mingalaba is a solid spot for Burmese food. I visited with a friend and overall, we had a good experience.
The dishes were flavorful and well-prepared — definitely captured the essence of Burmese cuisine. We ordered three dishes along with a bowl of rice for each of us. While everything tasted great, the portion sizes felt a bit lacking. For two people, the amount of food wasn’t quite enough, even with three different dishes. We left still a bit hungry.
That said, everything else was great. The service was attentive, and the waitstaff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was casual but welcoming.
If the portion sizes were just a bit more generous, this would easily be a top pick. Still, worth visiting for the taste and overall experience.

Good food n feel like light Indian foods, I am not familiar with Burmese foods; recommend to order is mango salad – the rest of foods is taste above average.

Loved Burmese food, it’s fresh, spicy and flavorful. The staff were quite attentive even when it was a very busy Thursday night. Would definitely come back again.

TL;DR: In a vacuum the food is okay and the service is great, but in context with the pricing and competition it’s not good.
Good things first – The service is fantastic. It’s quick, courteous, and enhances the experience noticeably. The tea leaf salad is very good and I have gotten it every visit. It’s seasoned very well while being pretty light, and the crunch and nuttiness is unmatched by any other similar salad I’ve had.
Okay, now the not so good – The mango chicken was disappointing. The white meat chicken pieces used were small, all of them being as small if not smaller than popcorn chicken pieces. The mango part of this dish was literally just pieces of mango mixed in with the chicken. Mixed in. Not fried with the chicken nor was there a sauce. The dish was dry sauteed bits of white meat with chunks of mango in it.
When the fish fillet with black bean sauce came out, my first question was, “is this it?” and my second was, ” where’s the black bean?” There were only about 15 pieces of black bean in the entire dish and the flavor reflected that. The dish was also 60% steamed/blanched broccoli too. This $24 dish gave us 5, maybe 6 bites of unnamed white fish with a black bean garnish and a head of broccoli.
Overall, this most recent visit is the most disappointed I’ve been. I gave it 3 chances before posting this review and won’t be revisiting.

Found Mingalaba off of Yelp.
Two of us ordered:
palatha crispy pancake with curry $11.50
lap pat dok salad $18
house special noodle $18
Flavors were good. Staff was friendly. Sat immediately for a Monday dinner.
Street parking only. Came on a holiday, so didn’t need to pay, otherwise, seems like metered parking only. Can definitely be hard to find spots during peak hours.

The perfect weeknight dinner. The waitress made us feel right at home and was managing to sell everyone in the restaurant on young coconut or ginger lemonade, both worth it. I loved the samusas which weren’t spicy at all. I didn’t love the house special noodles with coconut chicken which consisted of overcooked linguine with tiny bites of chicken and crispy noodles thrown on top.

I’ve been to a few Burmese restaurants and Mingalaba is my favorite! When we arrived on a Tuesday night the restaurant was full with a brief wait, so clearly others agree.
They have the best tea leaf salad I have ever tasted.
We also enjoyed the other dishes we got:
-Burmese Style Noodles were very good, we weren’t sure what to expect since they come room temp but we loved every bite.
-Pan Fried String Beans with Pork was salty but flavorful
-Rangoon Beef was solid too
Overall a great spot!
