The first time I tried Burmese bites was at the queens night market. Ever since then I've been on the lookout for them at any food event in NYC. I was so happy when they opened this food truck! Everything you'll have here is delicious! I've tried a few things from Burmese bites both in the queens night market and in this food truck. My favorites are the keema palata, coconut, coconut chicken noodle soup, potato curry, and chicken curry palata and all are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend both for the quality of the food, the price of the food, and the very friendly service. You can't go wrong with anything you order! read more

Friendly service, great prices and delicious food! They were able to make their salads without fish sauce, so as a vegetarian I had good options. Will definitely be back again. read more

Burmese Bites is such an amazing food truck - the food is so flavorful and the owner is super friendly. Delicious, filling and cheap lunch - authentic dishes only for $6! My favorites are the Coconut chicken noodle soup, Keema Palata, and chicken curry palata. The coconut noodle soup has the most heavenly broth - with a touch of lime, onions and basil poured over a bed of noodles, this is one of my favorite meals ever! The soup is also packaged well for take out! Definetely one of the perks of working in Long Island City! Highly recommend! read more

I tried two things tonight, the noodle soup and the pastry dough with chicken inside. Both were $6. So let's start with soup noodle...broth is good but there's very little meat from the soup. The other pastry thing was good when I tried it last year. This time, they were making some many of them ahead of time so when they give it to you, the dough isn't crispy and flaky anymore. The flavor of the chicken was really good but it would have been so much better if it was truly made straight from the grill and not made 15 minutes ago. read more

Burmese Bites - Chicken noodle soup ...no meat! $6...not really worth it. - Burmese Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

How is this spot not popular? It's in LIC but the price is so cheap. The food is pretty good. I ordered the curry chicken rice box. It comes with curry chicken with potatoes, mango salad, and rice. The portion size is big, I could not finish the box. The flavor is nice. The owner asked me if I wanted stuff spicy and I said yes! But it didn't seem spicy to me (too high of a spice tolerance haha). I rather eat this everyday than the stale microwave buffet food at cranberry. You can also text the owner ahead of time to shorten your wait, but he's so fast anyway. Will def come back for more. read more

Burmese Bites - Curry rice box - Burmese Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Very authentic and felt very homey. I ordered the curry chicken with rice and mango salad bento box. Wow! It was simply amazing. Very flavorful and truly a hidden gem in queens center. The chicken was very tender to the point of being able to tear apart very easily whenever I chose to. The curry flavor wasn't overpowering and just tasted perfect in terms of heat and flavor. read more

I got the fermented tea salad with the fresh hot white rice, it was phenomenal! It was so delicious! You're gonna want to try this absolutely!!!! Great flavor of the whole dish with the tea leaves, fermented cabbage, tomato and nice small bit of crunchy fava beans on top I think it was. The flavor was so well balanced out so good though the smell of fish sauce is strong it's definitely worth it because the whole dish is incredible. I can't wait to try more dishes :) and I'm pretty sure this is healthy for you too! read more

Dum Pot and Palata with pea/potato/chicken curries are out of this world! So much flavor in every bite.

Burmese Bites takes mall food to another level! The flavors from the Chicken Biryani (Dum Pot) are complex, spicy and tasty! I felt heat but not overwhelming and tasted cloves in the sauce and there were bits of cashew. The solo chicken drumstick was tender. It was a huge sized drumstick. The basmati rice fluffy and almost short noodle like in appearance! It comes with a cucumber mint dipping sauce, most likely there to cool off your tongue. The owner was very friendly and explained the food as well as the pronunciations. The palata is their signature food. It is a flat bread that they used with their burrito and curry roti canai and you can get it also plain. He told me they have a stand at the Queens Might Market! I can't wait to try the palata and faluda!!! On another occasion I put my money where my mouth is and went to mall just to eat the plain Palata which is excellent, thin flatbread that is heated on cook top so it gets crispy on the outside! No wonder this is the signature food! Faluda is an acquired taste. It had a strange aroma and taste which might be the rose syrup and it was sweet, salty and even a little tangy for me. I didn't enjoy mine as much but the palata made up for it! read more

Had the Shan Kaukswe and it tasted great and tasted like home cooking. The quality stands out. definitely recommend, very yummy.

I had Burmese food for the first time this past weekend courtesy of this food truck at the Queens International Market and ohh dear, I'm on yelp looking for all of the different Burmese spots in the city. I had the Keema Palata - fresh dough wrapped with meat and topped with spicy radishes! Every bite was so flavorful and the dough was fresh. Wish I tried everything they had to offer at that food cart now. Most definitely will get it again if I ever see it at another event!! read more

This food truck is located on the north side of the park next to the Citi building in LIC. Great place for lunch if you work in the LIC area. They are only open on weekdays from lunch to around 6PM I think. They are not here on the weekends as of now :(. Oh, you can also text your order to the cart owner. There is a sign with his number on it, but it recently changed and I didn't take a pic... 2 guys run the cart, one of whom is the owner. You can tell they really care about cooking authentic Burmese food. The owner quit his corporate job to start this and I think that's super awesome. You can really see the passion shine through in his cooking. There are 5-6 dishes you can get, ranging from $5-$8. Favorites: Chicken box has rice, chicken & potatoes, and mango salad for $8. Keema palata is minced chicken (and something else) wrapped up in a crepe-like outer wrapping with some cucumber yogurt sauce. ($7) Potato rolls are incredible. As a meat-lover, I was really surprised to enjoy them. They come with a spicy umami sauce. $6 BEST-My favorite has to be the chicken soup though ($7). Normal chicken soup is watery, but this one is very creamy and rich. You'll get the noodles/toppings in a ziplock bag so that the noodles don't soak up broth when you take them to go. If you don't like cilantro, you can ask them to leave it out. Unfortunately no delivery right now, so you have to do pickup. read more

The Burmese food that my family and I ordered from here was excellent. We ordered almost the entire menu and everything was delicious. The service was great, especially considering that it located in the food court of Queens Center. I would highly recommend the Burmese food at Burmese Bites. read more

Tucked away in the corner of Queens Center Mall, nestled between, well, what you expect in a food court in a mall in Queens is one of the great hidden gems of the borough. Here thoughtful, friendly service is coupled with a menu packed with items I find myself hankering for any time I crave takeout. What is remarkable is how consistent they are with their standout dishes: the palata is a flaky, chewy delight, the chicken curry the perfect complement to the palata. Further down the menu, the noodle soup is hearty and rich without being too heavy. Even their tea (black tea with condensed milk and evaporated milk?) was terribly tasty. We have visited this place many times, first as a Queens Night Market standout, then when they opened in Rock Center and now in the mall, and have never been disappointed. read more

The line was extremely long. When I say long, I meant LONG as in almost one hour wait time long for me. I was already quite full from eating other things that I decided to just wait on this long line of over 50plus people so I can digest a little, which helped! I never tried Burmese food and was curious to try so I ordered two items: 1) KEEMA PALATA: This was definitely worth the wait to try. I love the crispness of the flatbread and the tendered chicken meat on the inside. Love the onions and cilantro on top as well. This made me very very full! 2) CHICKEN CURRY PALATA: I didn't really enjoy this. The curry was good and the one potato they put in the bowl was good too. The curry poured onto the flatbread made the flat bread all mushy and soggy extremely quick, because the curry was so hot. The chicken that was served was too dry for my liking as well. Don't really recommend personally. It was worth the try and I really enjoyed the Keema, and I needed to digest so I waited. Will I wait on this line again? I'm not sure. Maybe if I'm craving it! read more

Very popular (and for a good reason) food truck normally found in Long Island City. I happened to be fortunate enough twice to have it at the Queens Night Market in Corona Park and was blown away both times. The chicken curry plata and keema plata are fantastic, full of flavor and carefully prepared on site. There's a reason lines for them are horrendous so come early. It's worth it. If only they'd open up an actual restaurant, they'd make a fortune. Excellent every time and highly recommended. read more

Delicious! I love the coconut chicken noodle soup. My favorite and the price is great too. Located in the food court of the Queens Mall, I'm so thankful for this gem!! The owner is very nice too. :) I hope they get a lot of customers!! read more

What if I told you you could get an unbelievable, and hearty, lunch in NYC for $6 (before tip)? It's real. Not a scam. It's Burmese Bites. I had heard great things about this place, and being obsessed with food carts, I swung by to give it a try for lunch. The gentleman running the cart was extremely friendly, told me to sit in the shade while he made my food. The food itself was outstanding. I had their keema palata (pictured). It was out-of-this-world. The cream/onion dressing that came with it was excellent, to boot. I could have easily had more of it. I'll be returning, again and again. Suggest you make it part of your regular rotation as well. read more

Burmese Bites - Keema Palata. Fantastic. - Burmese Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

If you like those halal carts, try No.11 Dum Pot. Almost the same thing but better taste, and better portions! No. 12 Shan Kaukswe is good if you like noodles like Thai Noodles. No. 2 Potato Plata or No. 6 Crispy Tofu if you want a light snack. If you really wish to try something exotic go for No.8 Tea Leaf Salad. For desserts, give 19 - 21 a try. Honestly, all the items are very good. It is a breath of fresh air to see authentic dishes and cuisine. I wish them all the success so I can keep supporting their Dum Pot, hahaha. read more

First time I had their food was at the Queens Night Market. It was absolutely delicious & I was so excited they opened up at QCM. When I had ordered uber eats they sent a thank you note & I have never received such hospitality. Their food is amazing, the family & workers are the best. You can taste the love in their food. I was at QCM today & If you are ever in Queens Center Mall I would not eat anywhere but here. Exceptional service & food. I wish these people the best. They also serve all Halal meats & have vegetarian options so there is something for everyone. read more

This gem from Queens Night Market recently opened up shop in Queens Center Mall. We have tried their famous kheema palata, chicken dum pot biryani and chicken noodles soup. Every dish was amazing and bursting with flavors. Also tried the falooda and man it was yummy! Will definitely eat here everytime I visit Queens Centre Mall. read more

I've been searching for good Burmese food in the city, and this seems to be one of only a couple places to get it. I don't live anywhere near LIC, but would come here all the time if I did. I tried the chicken curry with palata and ohno kaukswe (a coconutty chicken noodle soup) at the Queens Night Market. I hope they expand and offer more delicious dishes like tea leaf salad and mohinga. read more

I don't wanna leave a review because I want his food all to myself. But no. Seriously, I love this food truck. Best kept secret if you like Burmese food or this kind of flavor in general. I've tried everything but that noodle dish. You cannot go wrong!! My favorites are keema palata and mango salad. I am also addicted to their dynamite sauce. I text him the order and it's ready within about 5min!! read more

Yaasss finally made it to Burmese Bites. Right off the Court Square Stop in LIC, these guys are great. I tweeted at them multiple times to confirm their hours and location, and they actually responded. Their food is just as good if not better than their customer service. I had the keema palata ($6) - minced chicken with onion and egg in a crepe. Affordable, delicious and filling, it's no wonder Burmese Bites is a hot spot in the neighborhood. read more

Was in Queens looking about at PS1-MOMA and found this gem! Got the Keema Palata (stuffed wheat bread; looks like filo) plus the coconut noodle soup, spicy. A fine repast was had at Court Square in Queens! Note: Bring your own drink (and extra napkins if you tend to respond to spicy food in a way so as you'd need 'em). General MacArthur shall be quoted (but in a good way, if that's possible). read more

Oh YASSS! This was my first experience with Burmese food and it was the bomb dot com. I got the curry chicken plate which came with rice and a side of mango salad. Everything was delicious. The chicken was tender and the spices in the sauce were perfect. The mango salad was so tasty and matched with the curry surprisingly well. He adds some spices to the top of the salad according to your desired spice level. Don't mess with these spices they are HELLA SPICY. They are very good but next time I'm going to ask for only a small dash. My eyes were watering and my tongue was a tingling. In conclusion I will definitely be going back to this super tasty and affordable food cart. read more

Amazing food cart. I ordered the Chicken curry palate and Burmese bites roll. The chicken curry was great. The chicken was very tender and the curry had a lot of flavor. The potato was also cooked well and soft. The Burmese bite rolls are spring rolls. It is mostly potato inside with bits of other vegetables, including onions and something else that tasted like a type of turnip. The crispy skin of the rolls are very good. One order is 5 spring rolls so it is enough for a full meal. read more

Amazing food! I love their tea leaf salad and noodles! Highly recommended! We needed a good Burmese place here in Queens!

legitimately one of the best places to eat in the entire rego park area, i cannot wait until they open a standalone restaurant.

Burmese Bites is prob my favorite food stand in NYC. I would go miles to eat their food again. One night I was in Rockefeller center and I had already eaten dinner (Thanks, by Chloe) and we stopped by in the outdoor market by the Nintendo store for dessert. The Palata looked so good I just had to have one. I was going to eat a little bit of it and then eat more later. BUT it was so delicious that mind you if I was even full for not I decided I had to eat the entire thing. It was so delicious and amazing. The crispy bread with spicy curry chicken and vegetables omg. I just wish it would be easier to find Burmese Bites. I went back to the same market and they weren't there 2 weeks later. read more

Queens night market KING! Take note lines are long and they can sell out so come here first! I am culturally Burmese influenced as my parents grew up there; and this joint is pretty close to home cooked! I really hope they open up a restaurant soon with all this success! Coconut curry chicken noodles: I am still salivating and now missing my moms version! Egg noodles had a great chew to the curry soup. The soup had a great balance of coconut milk and curry mixed together. They top it off with cilantro to give it a nice fresh flavor, and some chili flakes! Mix it all together and then dive your fork into this bad boy! Absolute umami thrills! Curry chicken plata: this will not be airy and flaky like it's Malaysian roti cousin BUT this is due to the lack of power on their griddle top! The flat bread was nice and chewy and soaked up the curry chicken stew sauce perfectly. Take a bite and your transported to the dust pavement of the streets of Rangoon minus the dirty water dish cleaning! This vendor is killer and I can't wait till you guys open up a restaurant! read more

Excellent food! Super kind and helpful staff. I had the Shan Kaukswe which was simply delicious. I grew up in Southeast Asia and this place reminds me of home. GO HERE. read more

Prices were just raised by $1 but the food is definitely still worth it! They were recently listed as one of the top 25 food trucks in America and I definitely agree! read more

Don't wait in that ridiculous line like we did. Don't get me wrong, the food is good. Especially the keema palata, which is basically curried meat in something resembling a tortilla. But it's not wait 30-40 minutes good. There are so many other stalls that are just as good or better and you can eat at 3-4 of them in the time it takes to go here. It's a fad and it will fade. If you want to try Burmese, go to the Rangoon stall instead and try their noodles or fish soup. Much better. read more

The chicken and rice Biryani (Dum Pot) is the best flavored I ve had in NYC - and I am saying that as a Pakistani (Biryani is our national dish)...The salad with tea leaves is another very unique item and should def be tried. Keep up the good work! read more

Finding a gem in the middle of Queens Center Mall. Who would've thought! Boyfriend and I got the dum pot, Nan gyi thoke, keema palata, and a shaved ice. The dum pot is a chicken biryani-esque dish. It was juicy, tender, fall off the bone, and a blast of flavor. Delicious! The bf would not shut up about how good it was. The nan gyi thoke is a Dan Dan noodle + sesame/peanut noodle bomb. Didn't know that was even a thing that I needed in my life! The keema palata came out hot and crispy. Perfect meat filling in the center. Like a stuffed scallion pancake. And the best part was the shaved ice to close up the meal. Perfect ethnic meal in the middle of the mall?! Guess I'll have to visit QCM more! read more

If I had room in my stomach, I would order one of everything...twice! Their mango salad is amazing, price point is on point, and the owner/employee are the nicest. It's only unfortunate I don't work from home-- otherwise I'd get this everyday! You won't regret. read more
