There are truly no words that can fully capture how special this place is--but I will try. This Burmese restaurant is, without exaggeration, addictive. Every single dish is crafted with so much care, flavor, and passion that it becomes impossible not to come back again and again. The taste is something I honestly cannot even begin to describe--you just have to experience it. Sato, the owner, is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. He goes above and beyond for every single customer, and it shows in everything he does. You can feel his passion for cooking in every bite. He is always smiling, always welcoming, and truly puts his heart into his food. The dish in the photo is called "Aja's Special," and it says everything you need to know. My husband couldn't even wait for me to take the picture--his fork was already going in for a taste. That's how irresistible it is. This is not just a restaurant--it's an experience. A warm, welcoming place where incredible food meets an incredible person behind it. Just a warning: you will get addicted. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants in New Jersey. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner and had a great meal here. Burmese tea leaf salad and potato samosa were both good, and the coconut chicken noodle soup was amazing. Apparently the owner's brother is the guy behind Burmese Bites, which is opening soon in Astoria! read more

We were in the neighborhood for Gundam Planet and were looking for a spot to eat afterwards. They were pretty full on a Saturday afternoon but they managed to fit our table of four in. Since we were new customers, the owner gave us some chips for free, which was super nice of him. I split the Egg Curry with Coconut Rice and also the Bait Noodles with a friend and both were excellent. The egg curry was exactly what we had wanted and was so flavorful. The noodles were also good, and was a very generous portion. The owner was super nice and walked us through the menu since none of us had really had Burmese food before. I would definitely come back here the next time we're going to Gundam Planet. read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8 Decor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 The anticipation for this Burmese restaurant was very high because I kept missing them and coming to this NJ area on days they are closed. So finally when I got to try their food, I was glad it wasn't a letdown. Burmese Tea Leaf Salad (8/10) - Always been a fan of this dish ever since I first tasted it. Years later, I loved the versions I had in Myanmar too. Their version is less acidic and pungent, but still delicious. Mohinga (7/10) - This national dish of Burma is very interesting because the flavors are unusual. I liked this item but it may have gotten a bit too mushy during the drive home. Seejet Noodles (7/10) - Good flavor, but I'm not sure if duck enhances this dish. Noodles were great. Pork Curry (8/10) - Maybe my favorite dish. The meat was tender but with a bite, while the curry had a lot of depth. Coconut Chicken Soup (6.5/10) - Didn't love this dish, but it wasn't bad. The sweetness may not have been my cup of tea. Shrimp Curry (7.5/10) - another good curry dish, but this one felt a bit oily. The shrimps were cooked well. I would note that their Balachaung is worth buying. You can add it to anything and it will enhance the flavor. The owners were so nice that they included a complimentary box of it because I bought so much food. Glad I finally had a chance to eat their food. I will stop by whenever in town. read more

This place is amazing - family dinner and super intimate. the owner was extremely kind and ensured my first time trying burmese food would be great. he gave us some free spicy chips that had a nice little kick and plenty of flavor. i took them home and love munching on them. when ordering we asked what his favorites were as well as how each dish was prepared. he happily recommended us plenty of options and since we liked spicy he supplied us with some fantastic spicy side sauce. it was reminiscent of Sriracha to me but tasted better, a tad bitter sweeter in my opinion. we ended up getting the tea leaf salad which was amazing. it isn't a traditional fresh salad necessarily and had a lot more nuts but the flavors paired great together. we got the bait noodles which were stir fryed with a sweet sausage, an egg, and seafood. these noodles were fantastic - extremely flavorful and all the toppings were cooked to perfection. it was a pretty large portion so i had leftovers. the noddles had a great stir fryed flavor to them and the bean sprouts added a perfect crunch. this paired with the spicy sauce was a match made in heaven. i also paired all thai with their milk tea, he warned me that it was strong but i prefer my tea super strong. it was reminiscent to a hong kong milk tea but less sweet, overall super happy i got the tea and loved it. lastly they gave us a coconut jelly for dessert, the texture wasn't jello like but instead snappy which i really enjoyed. flavor wise tasted just like coconut milk and was a great ending. overall the service food and ambiance of this family run restaurant was great. i will 100% be returning to try out more of the menu! read more

When I see a restaurant with only 5 star reviews, it often makes me raise an eyebrow. It's either all hype or genuinely an amazing restaurant. After trying Amayar Kitchen, I can safely say this family run establishment deserves every single 5 star review it has. This was actually my first time having Burmese cuisine, and I was super excited as I love south East Asian flavors, so I knew this was gonna hit. But omg, these Bait stir fried noodles were SO GOOD! Think pad thai noodles, less sweet and more of a savory chow mein vibe, but unique in its own way. All the toppings mixed into the noodles were super fresh and high quality. Shrimp was plump and bouncy, the sausage had a wonderful sweet flavor that complemented the savory noodles, and the egg was scrambled PERFECTLY. Still thinking about the incredibly umami wok fried flavor and this massive portion, definitely great to share or make 2 meals out of! Alongside the noodles, tried the tea leaf salad and a hot tea with cream. The hot tea reminded me a lot of HK style milk tea, with a strong black tea flavor and not as sweet, which honestly I prefer! The thing that makes this restaurant stand out is certainly the service. The owner, Sato, personally introduced himself and explained the menu thoroughly. It honestly felt more like walking into an old friends home for dinner than a restaraunt , in the best way. He really makes it a point to connect with everyone who tries his food, even giving us a bag of his homemade chips to thank us for coming in! Overall, the food quality was superb, extremely reasonably priced for the portion size, and paired with the amazingly personal service made this an unforgettable dinner experience. I will note the dining room is quite small and informal, but it was perfect for a weeknight date! Genuinely cannot wait to come back the next time I am in this area!! Would highly recommend! read more

Amayar Kitchen - N3. Bait Noodles - Burmese Near Me - Maywood, New Jersey

I guess I wanted to come here because my wife and I wanted to try something different in the north jersey area. this restaurant is near the paramus shopping area and it's a smallish restaurant kind of tucked away, but don't let that fool you. The menu is nice and simple with only a handful of dishes. we got the bait noodles which had a good wok hei (smoky wok flavor) and quality seafood. the kyae oh noodle soup is very good as well if you are looking for a soup noodle. However, the real reason I am writing this review is Sato. He is very personable and told us countless stories of running the restaurant, eg, how people doubted him when he wanted to have a Burmese restaurant and how he did this to honor his mom. He talked about how his mom shared the love of food during covid with her neighbors. Also, he values family and he certainly runs his restaurant well as evidenced by all the positive reviews. I just wanted to add on to that and I highly recommend that you make the trip out to see him and taste his wonderful food. Thanks Sato for sharing your passion and we are all inspired by you and your mom. read more

Great Burmese food. Every dish ordered was good. Tried the mohinga, the nanjee noodle salad and the tea leaf salad. I have never had Burmese food before and I was impressed by how good it was and what I have been missing out on. Highly recommended!! read more

I've never had Burmese food before, but when someone described the cuisine as a "marriage of Indian, Thai, and Chinese flavors", I knew I had to give this amalgamation of my favorite foods a try. Enter Amayar Kitchen. As far as I can tell, this is the only place you can get Burmese food outside of the city, and it's authentic to boot. In fact, when we informed our server we were first timers to Burmese cuisine, she walked us through some recommendations with comments like, "This one is my dad's specialty," or "My grandmother simmers this stew for hours." We were endeared to the fact that the menu featured family recipes and quickly discovered Amayar is a family-run affair, with different members of the family chipping in different parts of the restaurant. That kind of love seeps into everything here. The space is homey and somehow feels more like a family's dining room than a restaurant. When the owner/dad found out we were newcomers, he asked us if we were okay with spice (which we were), and kindly offered us a complimentary bag of their Sato chips. It's his own brand of house-made kettle-fried chips, topped with a spice blend that left a pleasant tingle of heat in the mouth. We tried a few dishes and enjoyed everything heartily. At our server's recommendation, we tried the mohinga, or noodles served in a slow-cooked, catfish-based stew. Our curry was filled with giant chunks of tender meat and potatoes, and my only regret was that I didn't elect to pony up the extra dollar or two for coconut rice, which I'm sure would have been a fantastic complement. The surprising star of our meal was the palata appetizer - fried flatbread topped with the most fragrant beef mixture. We ended up dunking that flatbread in the liquid depths of all our entrees, with our complimentary Sato chips as a crunchy topping to every other bite. By the end of our meal, we were not only well fed but felt like we'd gained a few extra friends in the Amayar family. So suffice it to say, service is simply excellent. Come hungry and expect to be treated like family. read more

I moved a couple blocks from here and tried it out today and its great. Never had burmese food before this but its delicious

This was my first time trying Burmese food and I was really interested in trying something new. We walked inside the restaurant and were seated instantly. The service was very helpful and recommended many popular dishes for us to try. We took our server's advice and ordered the coconut chicken soup, the beef curry, and the palata with chicken and potato. I was very excited to try the palata, which came out first, as I LOVE Malaysian food and this reminded me of a Malasian curry dosa. The palata was good, but I thought the bread was very greasy, and the curry was less thick and flavorful than the Malasian curry I typically love. Next came the beef curry, which was very delicious. The curry had a unique spice blend and was incredibly flavorful. The beef was cooked perfectly and was fall-apart tender. The coconut chicken soup may have been my least favorite item. I think this is because I was comparing it to Malaysian laksa in my head, which i find to be much more flavorful and full of veggies. I found myself looking for sauces or a lime to squeeze into the soup to give it a bit more of a kick. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cracker inside the soup, as it wasn't as crispy as I expected it to be. Overall the food was very fresh and very good, but I think I expected a little more of a punch in the flavor/spice department. read more

2nd time coming because I've been craving this place ever since I came the first time. Had the moringa fish soup and although I'm not sure of the protein content of the entree as there weren't actual fish pieces I could see, the umami of the soup and how the thin rice vermicelli noodles perfectly sopped up the flavor made each bite more orgasm-inducing than the last. Needless to say, I finished the bowl before the rest of my family had touched half their meals! The owner was also as gregarious and friendly as I remembered from the last time! read more

I would like to try a bunch of different items from the menu so on my second visit I went for something different. This time I got an order of potato samosa and the coconut chicken noodle soup. I thought I'd be getting one big Samosa however it was a handful of mini phyllo dough potato bites with a spicy dipping sauce which were really good however they got a bit soggy because of the packaging. The coconut soup from the noodles was outrageously good. In fact it was so good that I had a bit leftover and saved it to use in another dish because I couldn't bear to throw it away. It was a plentiful portion with all the different flavors and textures you would hope for. Can't wait to keep making my way through the menu and finding the next amazing dish. Aside from the food, the staff is incredibly kind. read more

Amayar Kitchen - N5 Seejet Noodles with veg spring rolls lunch special - Burmese Near Me - Maywood, New Jersey

Burmese food has been in my bookmarks for quite some time now and I finally got to get a taste! I called my order in for pick-up and was told it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. I ordered the Lunch Special ($13): Bait Noodles dish and fried tofu appetizer. I also added in the Burmese Iced Milk Tea ($4). Lunch specials are available Tuesday-Friday from 11am-3pm. The restaurant is fairly small with only 4-5 tables for dine-in and it's easy to miss when you're driving by. It shares a parking lot with other businesses. When I walked in, I was greeted by Sato, the owner, and his kind employees. He was so sweet and even gave me a bag of complimentary Sato chips (original Ruffle chips with chili flakes and other spices). I really, really wanted to give them 5 stars, but the food just didn't hit home. -Bait Noodles (fried flat noodles with assorted seafood and sausage): The noodles were oily and didn't have much flavor unless I added a ton of chili sauce, which they only gave me a small amount of. The seafood (shrimp and calamari) was fresh, though. My favorite part was the sweet sausage. -Fried Tofu: I expected it to be a lot crispier. It tasted okay. I wouldn't order this again. -Burmese Iced Tea with Milk: I would have enjoyed this more if it was sweeter. It tastes like a classic black milk tea, but with a much stronger tea taste. Would I give them a second shot? Yes... I need to explore more dishes. The menu isn't too extensive and focuses mainly on noodles and curries (both of which I'm a fan of), so there MUST be something I'll love...Most entrees are $14-$16, which is a steal. read more

Let me just say, I will ABSOLUTELY NOT be the person who puts a blemish on Amayar Kitchen's 5 star rating because I have nothing but praise for this gem of a Burmese restaurant. I first heard about Amayar when Yelp came out with some variation of their top restaurants list a few years back and Amayar was somewhere close or at the top of that list. From my experience, they might as well have been the top dog there. I won't beat around the bush with my thoughts because everything about our experience was absolutely FANTASTIC and it checked every box in the book when it came to the expectations we had. Even though we had never tried Burmese food, the whole restaurant and the food just felt and tasted authenticate because of the uniqueness of it all. We dropped in for lunch on a scorcher of a Friday afternoon around 12:15pm and there was only 1 other couple in the restaurant so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves, especially midway through when they left. The menu was relatively simple - Appetizers, Noodles, Curries, Side Dishes, Drinks, Desserts and Lunch Specials, which was only served on Tuesday-Friday 11am-3pm. Since we had ZERO experience eating Burmese food, we did our homework ahead of time on Yelp and pretty much ordered what we thought were some of the more popular items based on previous reviews: BURMESE TEA LEAF SALAD (aka Lahpet Thoke) - I never really get excited about a salad appetizer (I mean who does?), but my goodness, this small dish was one reallllly great way to start our meal here. This combination of traditional Burmese pickled tea leaves with fried garlic, beans, sesame seeds, cabbage and tomatoes was extraordinary. To the common Burmese person, this might have been just your everyday salad, but this here is a MUST ORDER. I can't really describe the taste of the beautiful simplicity of this salad - you just have to try it for yourself. BAIT NOODLES (FRIED FLAT NOODLES WITH ASSORTED SEAFOOD AND SAUSAGE) AND POTATO SAMOSA LUNCH SPECIAL - Excellent noodles. If I had to relate it to a dish I've had before, it sort of reminded me of Pad Thai...BUT BETTER! There was some squid, shrimp, Chinese sausage and egg mixed in and, once again, so delicious. COCONUT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP AND SPRING ROLLS LUNCH SPECIAL - Some of the best creamy coconut curry I've ever had. For full transparency, I actually did not mean to order this dish, but due to a miscommunication I lucked into enjoying this ridiculously flavorful curry chicken noodle soup. First of all, there was a lot of noodles in the order so you'll be plenty full before you begin to slurp down all of the curry (which I did). There was also some cilantro, onions mixed in to add to the flavor, but, seriously, did it really need it? Yes, I had this on a 95 degree day, but 'm sure it'd be extremely refreshing in the heart of the winter. BURMESE ICED TEA WITH MILK FALUDA - I'll comment on both of these simultaneously because they were probably the only 2 downers of the day and we should have known it wasn't in our wheelhouse of things we like. Unfortunately, both were a bit too sweet for our liking. Not to say it's not for others, but neither drink/dessert was our cup of tea (literally). The Faluda was actually a dessert, but it can be enjoyed as a drink too. As for service, they were very, very warming and welcoming. Our waiter was checking on us and engaging with us constantly. The service by him couldn't have been any better. Although the restaurant is not huge and seems fairly quiet most of the time (I pass by it frequently), don't be fooled by the lack of buzz because this is one heck of a restaurant. They don't have 5 stars on Yelp for nothing, right????? Let's just say they backed up the positive reviews they've gotten in the past in every single way possible. Will be visiting again real, real soon. read more

First time trying Burmese food. Ordered the seejet noodles (duck), beef curry with coconut rice, and palata with chicken. If you have never had it, the flavors are similar to Thai and Indian. We ordered this meal for delivery. The beef curry and palata with chicken were my favorites, which were rich in flavor and comforting. The duck noodles were mild and less flavorful than the other dishes, but I enjoyed the textures. Portion sizes were generous. read more

I've been wanting to check out this spot for a while because there aren't a whole lot (if any) Burmese restaurants I know of in the area. I've only had it a handful of times but love trying new foods. Hubby and I came in for lunch around 1:30 on a Saturday. There were probably only one or two other tables there at the time. We started out with Sato chips, which are chips with their chili seasoning. I have a feeling they're just store bought chips tossed with seasoning, which didn't really feel worth it for $4. Next up, we had the tea leaf salad, which was good. Though, it's not for everybody because it has a very nutty taste. For my main, I went with the Bait Noodles (stir-fried flat noodles with seafood and sausage). This was really good, especially with the chili sauce they gave us. It had the wok hei, and the squid was surprisingly tender, and not chewy. It reminded me of char kway teow. Hubby had the beef curry, which he enjoyed. I liked the curry but the beef was too dry for me. Next time, I'll be back to try the mohinga and the kyae oh noodle soup! read more

Visited this restaurant to try Burmese food and overall, I was satisfied. I like the first dish more. It's made with a thick noodle, kinda like cọng bún bò. So it got the chewy texture from the noodle, the meat texture, the soft texture from the egg, and also some crispy texture from the fried thingy. The seasoning is good, too. The 2nd dish is more on the light side; it doesn't have a lot of seasoning, and it's just noodles with duck. I'd definitely come back to try other dishes. The chef came out and greeted us at some point, and asked of everything was good. Then she saw that we were eating dried noodles so she asked if we wanted some pork bone broth and gave us some. read more

PROs- different cuisine , fantastic service , hot and fresh food CONs- less spicy , table space , less veggie options Was in Paramus and we like to taste different cuisine . Was looking at Google maps and found this Burmese Cuisine with good ratings . 7-8 of us went and mostly everyone liked it . Good location. Parking available .. the place was a bit cramped though. Wish the tables were more spacious ! Service was very good . Smiling faces and quick food. Spring rolls were so awesome . My friends had soupy noodles and they liked it . They also had potato chicken and it wasn't spicy at all. Looked spicy but absolutely bland.. all other dishes were good . Not much of vegetarian dishes though... overall we liked it though. Will probably go back if I'm in that area . read more

This is such a hidden gem within North Jersey, and it's my first ever Burmese restaurant. My friend and I came here around 2:30 earlier this week (right before the lunch special ends at 3 pm). The interior is small with a few tables but has a homey feel, and the customer service here is top-notch! I ordered the lunch special of the coconut chicken noodles soup with the fried tofu as my appetizer. I'd rate this a 5/5 as the fried tofu was fried to perfection, and the noodle soup had a very mellow yet tasty coconut flavor throughout the dish. The noodles were not overdone, and I loved the "chip" that was placed on the edge of the bowl that was crunchy and added a great textural element to the dish. This ranks as one of my favorite bowls of noodles I've had this year. I would def come back again to try their other items on the menu! Everything looks really good! read more

Second time here! 5 star for the Mohinga soup ( rice noodles in fish soup)!!! My new favorite from this place the chef was so personable and spent a few minutes with us explaining to us about the dish and Burmese culture. Mohinga is a typical breakfast dish and that explains how light it was on the tummy!! Delicious, flavoursome but neither spicy nor bland. You must taste this one!! We also had chicken satay ( our recommendation would be to give more sauce and change the container since it was difficult to dip the skewers in the tiny edgy container. We also had our favorite Beef curry and took chicken curry to go ( so filling and perfect winter dish ). I will be coming back for Mohinga soup soon!! read more

My friend and I were in the area to get dinner at a place we saw online. That place was closed and Yelp absolutely saved the day. I had bookmarked Amayar previously and saw that it was nearby. We walked into a clean and modern restaurant. Small seating area, with comfortable seating. The owner Sato and the waitress were very friendly. Sato helped us picked a great selection of dishes. He also sent out the chickpea tofu for us to try. That had awesome texture and flavor and was served with a spicy sauce. We had the Burmese tea leaf salad, palata with chicken and potato, and samosas for other appetizers. What an amazing array of flavors and textures. For entrees we had the beef curry and the duck and noodle dish. Absolutely loved both. Both the duck and beef were very tender. Noodles and rice were excellent with them. Had a nice light dessert. Prices were very reasonable. Had a nice discussion about Myanmar (Burma) with Sato, very interesting. Certainly looking to return! read more

What a wonderful experience! You don't see a lot of Burmese restaurants around, so we had to visit. Sato, the owner & chef, was very friendly and welcoming. He took the time to get to know me and my partner and made some menu recommendations. We were also provided spices on the side to kick things up a notch. We ended up ordering the Tea Leaf Salad, SeeJet Noodles, and Mohinga. Each item was uniquely delicious and well-balanced, with my favorite being the Mohinga (great if you're looking for something hearty and savory). The prices were very reasonable, and the interior space, though not large, felt very comfortable. The music playlist also had some BOPZ. Sato was even so kind to give us special homemade potato chips and Burmese cake dessert on the house, which were such a treat! Highly recommend you visit this lovely place.

Typically when you think about food to eat, Burmese food is not the first thing to come to mind unless you have a Burmese friend and I have a Burmese friend. It is a little known country with good food. My Burmese friend told me about this place and I happened to be in the area. I went on a Saturday for lunch. It was not packed since we went right when it opened. It is part of a strip mall with parking in the back. It is a very small restaurant with about 4 small tables. The decor is very traditional and feels like you are in another country. We had the chicken satay, seafood bait noodles, tofu salad, and roti. The chicken satay had a lot of flavor, wasn't dry. The seafood bait noodles resembled pad Thai, delicious and not spicy. The tofu salad used a thick type tofu. Roti was roti. Overall the food was good. Burmese food in general is quite heavy so lunch time was a good time to go. Service was good as well, waiter checked up on us several times. Some lady from the kitcehn came out and gave us a bag of chips - ruffles with hot chili flakes and peppers, a nice gesture. I did see them have some snacks for sale at the counter. Overall was a good experience, will definitely come back for sure to try other items on the menu. read more

Came here without a reservation, but the owner was kind enough to accommodate us! He was friendly, attentive, and gave us some great food recommendations. We ordered seven dishes between the three of us, and honestly, not a single one disappointed. Every plate had its own unique flavor, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. My only small critique is that all the dishes came out at once, with the entrées arriving before the appetizers. It made us feel a bit rushed to eat while everything was still warm. That aside, the overall experience was fantastic. This place is truly a hidden gem, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Hello again my foodies, we are back with another review and we're trying Burmese food. Cute little spot with a really nice waiters. Along with the really good garlic noodles with Duck the waiter made it better. They have a few different things that you can buy. It was small but cute with a private lot. The best thing we had in my opinion was the Duck noodles. Everything else was mehhhh. We had a drink that was I think similar to a Thai iced tea and wasn't a fan. The salad that they are known for wasn't my style. Really didn't taste like much. I would go back for the noodles. read more
