Yelp.com Review - by Lacy K.

3.0 of 5 stars. The place was empty except for our table - so that made it a bit awkward. And the thrift-store-esque decor made it feel like a dimly-lit old school diner, or your grandma's circa 1920 kitchen. But…

Yelp.com Review - by Brendan J.

3.0 of 5 stars. 3.5 stars I never would have known about this place if I hadn't read about it first. It is upstairs from Kanlaya and is definitely a hole in the wall sort of place.

Yelp.com Review - by Justin L.

3.0 of 5 stars. So my 3 is really more of a 3.5 based on some really good dishes but also hit-or-miss service. Burma Restaurant is tucked away upstairs when you walk in from the street and once you get there I would…

Yelp.com Review - by Paige W.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm giving Burma Restaurant 4 stars based on it's Green Tea Leaf Salad alone. It is NOT worth going UNLESS you get the Green Tea Leaf Salad. The flavors are almost indescribable...like nothing I've…

Yelp.com Review - by Nick R.

4.0 of 5 stars. I have no real experience with Burmese food other than this place. My girlfriend loves it because it reminds her of her native Filipino cuisine. The food is a little bland and unrefined, and the…

4.0 of 5 stars. Burma Restaurant is in a second floor building in the Chinatown section of Washington DC. I really liked this place, different pace and different food, we had to walk all over town to find it but…

Yelp.com Review - by Chris A.

2.0 of 5 stars. Burma is an oppressive place, where a military junta ruthlessly rules over a population that has been beaten into submission. If this place is representative of the cuisine, it has clearly been a…

Yelp.com Review - by Mark D.

3.0 of 5 stars. I thought this place was decent, but maybe it's because I went with a group that didn't like to share their food so I just sat and enjoyed my own. The mango pork rice was good, not fantastic, but…

Yelp.com Review - by Andrew K.

1.0 of 5 stars. I can't believe I never rated this place. I went here - it was dirty - the food was inedible and overpriced. Everything about it sucked. This was a year ago. What upsets me is that this place could…

Yelp.com Review - by kathy L.

1.0 of 5 stars. I went to this restaurant as a part of a large group. When I first arrived I saw the steps that go up. I don't mind steps at all except that this hallway and steps area looked dirty and grungy to me.…

Yelp.com Review - by Xi W.

2.0 of 5 stars. **2.5 stars** The space was small and simple, but homey and inviting with its yellow walls and array of live plants lined along the big window looking down on the street. I'm all for restaurants that…

Yelp.com Review - by Tom D.

3.0 of 5 stars. 3.5 stars Burma has been on the list of places to try for quite a while -- and the name has come up repeatedly talking to people about bargain ethnic places in the area.

Very disappointed

We are used to a Burmese restaurant in Sterling, Va (which we discovered by chance) but live in DC and wanted to experience Burmese in the district. We tried it and thought the food was not good, very bland,...

Yelp.com Review - by angela n.

3.0 of 5 stars. If your party can't decide between Chinese and Thai, Burma could be a good compromise. Lots of fried noodle dishes and tofu and bamboo shoots for the Chinese food lovers, and lots of coconut and…

out of the way and very interesting food

This informal but pleasant restaurant is tucked into chinatown above a busy new Thai place. The food is definitely not chinese but that is a good thing. If you've never eaten Burmese you'll be surpised...

Yelp.com Review - by Julie M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Need a Burmese food fix while in Washington DC? A small, hole-in-the -wall restaurant just off the Chinatown Metro. Simple menu but good food. The Ono Kauswe soup (coconut/chicken noodle soup) and the…

Yelp.com Review - by Tu-Van L.

2.0 of 5 stars. This place is alright. Decor/ambiance is minimalist on the border of bland, food is mediocre and the service can be slow and difficult if your server doesn't speak much English.

Yelp.com Review - by Andrew K.

2.0 of 5 stars. The place looks like a hole in the wall, which earns it a star. But, the food, prices, and service were subpar. My food came only after I asked what had happened to it. It was the same food I saw…
