    THE Burmese Tea Salad
    Aimee C.

    Say this with me, "Burmese Tea Salad, please." You can thank me later for this unexpected party in your mouth. Yan and Mala (owners) who are gems of humans, if you ask me, own this GEM of a food truck. Only (currently) open on Tuesdays in town, so make sure you get to town for lunch on Tuesdays. I know that I do! Tuesdays are split between the Ala Moana area behind First Hawaiian and Kaka'ako. I had found Aloha Burma on IG, but found it difficult to catch up with them because they have limited hours. But, after serendipitously finding Yan and his truck at Bay View Market (every 3rd Wednesday of the month, I think), it was love at first sight. My tummy is thanking me and life on Tuesdays have never been the same. Prices are so affordable you'll have to do a double-take. Service is quick and so so so friendly that you'll feel like Yan is your best buddy. Every time I order I always get the Tea Salad - I am a nuts person so the fact that this salad is draped in nuts is ah-mazing. I have gotten other things like the Beef Masala and the Lemongrass Coconut Tapioca with Lilikoi Sauce and every time Aloha Burma's food hits. It's THAT good. I know BIG things are coming for these lovely humans, so it won't be long until their lines will be down the street every Tuesday. Highly recommend if you've never had Burmese food or if you have cravings for B-Star from SF, Aloha Burma is the spot! Cheers to Yan & Mala!

    So happy this food truck is near my Kaka'ako office every other Tuesday! Both times I've encountered it on the same side of the street at Fisher's, on my way to another foodie destination. Both times I was waylaid by their intriguing menu of Burmese dishes and was I happy I did! The first time I had their Salmon Laksa with rice and roasted veggies. I don't even like cauliflower but I polished off everything on that bento, including the substantial piece of salmon and fragrant jasmine rice. They took a break over the holidays and so I was excited to see they were back this week. This time I went for their Beef Masala with Burma Rice and Roasted Veggies - could not believe how much food you get for $15, I ended up eating half for lunch and saving the rest for dinner. The beef was super tender, the rice as fragrant and fresh as the last time, as were the veggies. Cannot wait for their next visit 2 weeks from now - follow them on Instagram for updates!

    This food truck is truly a hidden gem! It's a blue truck you can't miss usually parked around Don quijote or in kakaako. Service is wonderful and friendly! You need to follow on Instagram to find out where this food truck will be. The location does vary, but the owner is responsive. You can also preorder on IG. I love all the dishes I've tried so far! Nothing has disappointment. I always get the tea salad, samusa, and a main dish. I loved his fried noodles with chicken, and laksa noodle dish! He's only open on Tuesday from 11-1ish or sold out. I wish he was available on weekends, but if you contact the owner he can make special orders or cater. I always try to make my way to the truck when I get the chance! This is a must try plate lunch truck!

    I've been here a couple of times. Ordered in advance via IG DM then picked up. The people who work here are very nice. Food is good. My favorites so far are the beef masala and tea salad.

    The most amazing husband and wife duo cheffin' up Burmese cuisine. They combine the perfect pairings of tender proteins, flavorful sauces, delicious veggies and rice. Not only that, they offer plenty of vegetarian options, accommodating everyone. They always welcome with a smile, exuding their passion and love for their expertise with this craft. They constantly innovate their menu, giving you a different food expedition that takes you on a brand new journey every time. When in doubt, Aloha Burma is always a good idea!

    He comes to my Ala Moana neighborhood every other Tuesday, and I try to be there. The food is wonderful, and the proprietor is friendly.

    Came here twice. First time with my coworkers. The second time with a large groups of friends (20…read morepeople total). Both were planned roughly about last minute but they were still able to accommodate us. Though is more geared for adults we brought our kids and it was no big deal. The food is small family style and consistently good both times I've been there. The krazy rice is definitely a staple. The garlic ginger bok choy is surprisingly good too. We orders the fries for the kids which they loved of course. The seafood pasta was good along with the ribs. My only deal is that portions are pretty small. One order of a dish like the ribs, or dumpling may only come with 4 pieces so be prepared to order more than one of each entree. Overall pretty good place to stop in.

    Came here after a work event and it was just okay. Nothing I ate here really blew me away. I think…read moreit was nice to try but wouldn't be craving to go back. This restaurant is a part of the Aoki group and you call tell by the aesthetic of the decor. The vibe is great but service and taste could be better. What we ordered: Hamachi Da Nang Crudo - This was okay. Cast Iron Beef Tataki - Would not order again. Fried Oyster Mushrooms - This was the best thing but in relation to everything else. Mussels & Red Curry - The broth was delicious but the mussels were inedible Banana Lumpia - The banana wasn't ripe so it was just raw fried banana Service was ok, it's tough to consistently ask the server for water refills or side plates to eat. At one point they didn't clear our plates so we pushed things to the side so we can enjoy dessert and they stopped us while we were eating our dessert so that we could pass over plates to them when they should have just cleared them to begin with? Just a bunch weird things that could have made the experience better.

    Healthy dining

    The interior of the restaurant is very nice and clean. I love the seating options on the cushions…read moreor regular chairs. The tom yum soup was well seasoned and flavorful. The yellow curry had the strong savory coconut flavor and paired well with fish fillet. The pad Thai was okay and a simple staple. The spring rolls and calamari were freshly made. The service was good. Everyone was so friendly. Parking is in the back or on the street.

    You know an establishment is doing something right when it's been around for almost 40 years. And…read moreChiang Mai has been doing it right since 1988. This family owned and operated neighborhood restaurant serves authentic Thai food made with traditional recipes passed down through the generations, cooked with skill and love, and served with joy and Aloha. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated. It features an open kitchen and you can watch the chefs, who hail from Thailand and Laos, cook up crave-worthy culinary creations. The sounds of sizzling woks and the fragrance of fresh herbs and spices exude like exotic temptations from the kitchen heightening the dining experience. But, the food is just as appetizing if you enjoy it to-go, which is what we typically do. Either way, service is exceptionally efficient and exceedingly courteous. You really feel like they are passionate about serving high-quality food and are appreciative of their clientele. The warmth of their food and their service make you feel like family. Chiang Mai is more than just serving Thai food, they are about sharing their culture with the community. Now about the food...top-notch in every way. I especially enjoy that they offer many vegetarian and pescatarian dishes. Their vegetarian spring rolls are crunchy and savory, served with fresh veggies it's a brilliant start to a meal or a perfect light meal by themselves. The Pad Thai with tofu is delicate yet flavorsome. And the curry veggie noodles is an aromatic and truly comforting dish. I get this if I can't decide between noodles and curry. But, my favorite is the Pad Ki Mao with shrimp (you can choose your protein because it's made to order). The wide, chewy noodles, stir-fried fresh veggies, and robust but bright sauce always leaves me satisfied yet wishing for more. That's a memorable meal! While we've dined in a few times, we generally tend towards take-out. We don't use the online order and just call in. They pick up quickly and the order process is complete in seconds. Super convenient! They have a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant but there is also parking on King Street and on Makahiki Way. It's great for a lunch or dinner date or for groups. The restaurant is spacious but seating is intimate. At the writing of this review, they were featuring live music on Friday. Many great reasons to check them out! Hope you give them a try.
