My Burma

My family and I came to My Burma after church for Father’s Day lunch. When we walked in just before 12pm, there were no customers, so were greeted and seated right away. Our server promptly came over with the menus, take our drink orders and greeted me, “Happy Father’s Day”. Soon after our order was taken, the restaurant got busier and busier. They have a decent of amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. They were prepared and was staffed well. There was no hiccups in service and our food came out quickly. Food (5 stars): - Tea Leaf Salad: had lots of textures between the crunch of the salad, seeds, peanuts, crunchy garlic, etc. The fermented tea leaf dressing was delicious with a little saltiness, oils and maybe a hint of vinegar. - Mango Chicken: nice mango flavor with strips of mango. - Sesame Beef: good flavors, not overly salty or sweet like at other restaurants. - Burmese Eggplant Curry: thick and saucy, light curry flavor that is not overpowering, think cuts of eggplant, tasty over rice - Burmese Style Pad Thai: we got it with tofu, you can choose with chicken (+$1) or shrimp (+$2). Very similar to flavors to traditional Pad Thai at a Thai restaurant, maybe slightly drier. Service (5+ stars): I need to give our server (Heaven W.) props for excellent service! Not only did she come around frequently (even as the restaurant got busy) to check on us, she asked to refill our waters without us asking and even made an attempt for some small talk such as asking if were from Davis or out of town and asking what we were planning on doing after our meal. She did a great job serving all the other tables both inside and outside. It’s been a while since I’ve encountered this level of service. Thank you Heaven W. for the “heavenly” service! If the owners are reading this review, she is a keeper! All the employees looked like they enjoy working there and working with each other. We will definitely return for more of their delicious food and hopefully more great service.

Tried My Burma in Davis and had an overall good dining experience. The food has a flavor profile similar to Thai cuisine, with a one standout dishes. • Parata: This was the weakest item we tried. If you’re expecting a traditional Desi-style paratha, this one won’t match up — more doughy and less flaky. I’d rate it 2/5. • Noodles (for the kids): Solid and satisfying, but nothing particularly memorable. A safe option. •. Pineapple friend rice: was just ok. Can’t compare to a Thai friend rice. Hard to describe, taste like yellow curry friend rice. I’d rate it 2/5 • Sesame Chicken: The star of the meal. Perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender and flavorful with a great balance of sweetness and savory notes. I’d give this a strong 5/5. Service was excellent, the place had a nice vibe, and the location is convenient. I’d definitely go back to explore more of the menu.

Atmosphere is very nice, with outdoor seating available. Burmese curried vegetables were good, but the mildest curry we have ever tasted. Sesame chicken was tasty, but again very mildly seasoned.

This was my first time trying My Burma out for dinner with my family. The food was excellent! We loved everything we ordered. The atmosphere is nice and you will get great service. Good for families or date night. Will definitely be back! We had the pineapple fried rice, lemongrass chicken, and garlic chili shrimp.

Great for sharing! My Burma is my go to spot for group dinners. Friendly staff, shareable platters, and great cocktails. Everyone always leaves happy and with a good experience to look back on. My favorite dish is the Green Tea Leaf salad, but what I look forward to most are their desserts. Fried to perfection. The soft and flaky pratha is not too sweet, and pairs perfectly with their ice cream. Likewise with the fried bananas. You cannot go wrong with these desserts!
