We’re always on the hunt for good, authentic Burmese food as they’re hard to come by, so we were excited to try this place out. It did not disappoint, the food and flavors were delicious! You can also adjust the strength of the tea and add condensed milk, tasted fantastic either way. Reminded me of Hong Kong style milk and Thai milk tea, but more fragrant and less sweet! Loved the experience and hope to come back soon!

You don’t usually see a Burmese restaurant even in a diverse place like California. Great comfort food, tried the pickled tea leaf salad… very unique but definitely won’t fill you up by itself. Also ordered the Kyay-O (soup) noodles, which was delicious as well.

This restaurant is excellent. I didn’t expect the food to taste so authentic, especially since most Burmese restaurants in America I’ve been to don’t offer a truly traditional flavor. They usually just make dishes that resemble it.
If you really want to experience authentic Burmese food, I’m sure this restaurant will deliver it perfectly.

Honestly one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. I’ve had Burmese food in Singapore and fell in love with the food from this country. It is so unbelievably diverse! We can’t understand why more people don’t seek it out—with its influences from China to India it has something for everyone.
My husband and I went here yesterday and everything was incredible— we got the pickled tea leaf salad, goat curry (original), iced tea, and kyay-o noodles dry with brain. The salad was amazing— if you like Caesar salad you’d love this— the umami from the fermentation tastes like anchovy and Parmesan and the crunchy toppings make each bite a textural delight. I could eat it every day. The curry had such a depth of flavor and the perfect level of heat. And the noodles were phenomenal and we loved the sauces that came along with them. I definitely recommend adding the brain— it was my favorite part of the dish! And the TEA! So flavorful with the perfect amount of sweetness— not overly sweet like I find some Thai iced tea. Really, really good.
All the people working here were incredibly nice, as well. We can’t wait to make the drive and come back soon. It is well worth the trip.

This Burmese restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is clean and inviting and the service is great.
We had Myanmar tea, a nice balance of sweetness and creaminess but could be a bit stronger. (For me)
The pork sticks were decent but not the standout dish. (I wish they would serve with cucumber)
Mote Hin Khar and Kyay Oh Si Chat were phenomenal, authentic, flavorful and perfectly executed.
Kyay Oh Si Chat was my favorite and the soup was absolutely fire!!!!
On top of all that, the prices are affordable and the quality of food is excellent. Definitely a must visit spot for Burmese cuisine lovers!

If you wanna try the real Burmese taste, morning star will be your first priority. The real hidden gem of Burmese foods in LA county. First I tried Kyay O Si chat which was almost same taste as the one in my hometown Yangon. Then another foods also amazing and tasty. Pretty sure I will come back again and again. Thank you Star . Be successful more and more.

Our first time trying Burmese cuisine and it did not disappoint!!
Very similar to Indonesian food and spice level. The flavors are rich and taste just like a nice, warm, home cooked meal! Highly recommend the beef spicy curry dish. It tastes similar to Indonesian Rendang! My husband is Indonesian and according to him, it tastes waaay better than the Rendang dishes from all the other Indonesian restaurants that we have tried. The beef was so tender and the flavor & sauce was absolutely perfect.
– Their version of Paratha is nice, light and flaky like a flat croissant. It comes with 2 pieces for $5. Perfect side with the beef curry.
– The Fish noodle soup was a delicious comfort dish. I liked the crunchy topping. Would love to try the other soup options next time.
– The Faluda dessert was nice and refreshing. It has vanilla ice cream, milk and various toppings like peanuts, jellies, pumpkin seeds, strawberry syrup, and a bit of a flan-like texture mixed in.
They have self-serve water and green tea. They already have a dine-in service charge included, so tips are not necessary unless you want to give more.
The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and I think it used to be a previous Japanese restaurant based on the decor and layout. The servers were so helpful and friendly.
Overall, I’d definitely love to come back and try their other items on the menu.

MYANMAR (via Eat the World Los Angeles) – Despite the mixed visual signals from the old Japanese restaurant that occupied this space, if you use your other senses you will feel like you have been transported to Mandalay and the banks of the Irrawaddy River in northern Myanmar. Other tables all seem to be speaking to each other and the staff in Burmese, and the unique smells of the country’s cuisine fill the space. The food is all wonderful and so well executed.

A hidden restaurant located in West Covina off Citrus Ave.. The Burmese curry dishes are delightful as well as the famous Burmese Milk Tea. Servers are very attentive with smiles. A very nice cozy restaurant to enjoy an great meal. Must try their Tea Leaf Salad, it has a unique taste.
