If you're craving noodle soup

Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup (Ohn No Khauk Swe): egg noodles in a rich coconut-milk chicken broth with boiled egg, lime, and crispy toppings. If you like Thai khao soi, start here.

If you're craving curry

The Lunch / Dinner Box ($15) comes with beef or chicken curry, white rice, stir-fried cauliflower with egg, and shredded carrot. Burmese curry is savory and slow-simmered, closer to Indian curry than Thai, and not spicy unless you add the chili on the side. It's a complete Asian lunch in one box.

If you want something fresh and crunchy

Burmese salads are unlike anything at a typical Asian restaurant. The Tea Leaf Salad (La Phat Thoke, $12) tosses fermented tea leaves with fried beans, peanuts, garlic, tomato, and lime, served with a free cup of hot Burmese green tea. The Chicken Noodle Salad (Nan Gyi Thoke, $12) is thick rice noodles with chicken curry and crispy wonton chips, made at your choice of heat. Read about tea leaf salad →
