I visited NYC in January 2026 and I know you can find any kind of food you want there. Having recently been introduced to Burmese cuisine in my own city, and being in Brooklyn already, I decided to seek it out. There are just a couple tables but there was a place for me to sit. I had the coconut noodle soup and the pickled tea leaf salad, which are two of my favorite dishes of the ones i've tried. The salad is a particular revelation if you've never had it before--tangy, crunchy, chewy, spicy, and complex. The soup was welcome on a windy January day also. Business owner was friendly and it's exciting to see Burmese food. read more

A charming neighborhood restaurant specializes in Burmese cuisine. I am so glad to have found my native food Brooklyn. Fish soup is so refreshing and light which brings back me to Myanmar ( Burma). The vegetables fritters are perfectly made. Crunchy and delicious. Fried in fresh oil so you don't taste greasy. They come with tamarind based dipping sauce which pairs well with the fritters. Tapioca chicken noodles soup is also delicious. I hope it still opens up for long and continues to serve the neighborhood as well as brings the awareness of Burmese cuisine. read more

Burmese Harp - Mohinga Fish Soup Assorted Vegetable Fritters - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food is decently good and had interesting flavors. I dont normally eat burmese food so hard to compare. Came by for lunch with my toddler and kid after a snowy day. My toddler has a minor peanut allergy so told them not to put peanuts in anything we ordered. Tofu salad- interesting texture to the chickpea tofu. Nice and soft and good flavors. My toddler ate it but my kid didnt like it at all. Kyae ohh garlic noodle- my son loves garlic so he actually enjoyed this noodle. It had a nice garlic flavor and the fish balls and vegetables were a good addition. Mohinga- pretty good. Ive had mohinga a long time ago at a different place and i never quite liked it but this one is pretty good. The crispy parts werent soggy. Good flavors. My picky eating kid enjoyed it as well. Place is pretty small. I dont think they have a public bathroom (i didnt see any, and didnt ask) read more

Very unique cuisine, I really enjoyed everything. The soups were great, the desserts were delicious. If you're looking for something new and different, you'll definitely like this place. read more

Burmese Harp - Interior - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a gem! Tea leaf salad is legit mind-blowing and all the noodle soups (esp the coconut and mohinga) are fab.

I was sad when the Thai place that was in this spot closed but not as much after trying the Burmese food here. We came here a few minutes after they should've been open but the door was locked so we hung around the area and came back 15 minutes later. Place is small and cozy, only has a handful of tables that seat 2-4 people. My friend and I ordered the Kyae Ohh Garlic Noodle (dry) which came with a side of soup and the Chicken Tapioca Soup that I requested to have noodles put in. The garlic noodle is a little bland by itself but the table has a lot of sauces that you can use to spruce it up. My friend use the side soup to dip the noodles which made it very good. I ordered the Chicken Tapioca Soup which I think normally doesn't come with noodles but I wanted a heartier lunch and they were very nice about me wanting to add noodles. The soup is the thick consistency and flavorfulness I've been searching high and low for in a noodle dish I had in Vietnam called Banh Canh Cua and I finally found it here (with chicken instead of seafood). Overall they did not skimp on the portion size because it seemed like never ending bowls for both of us. I will definitely be back. read more

Cute cozy restaurant! Intimate space. Four tables there; 2 4 seats and 2 2 seats. 2 different menus, Burmese Japanese food. Ordered from the Burmese menu. I was with a group of 3 including myself. The seats were comfy! The staff is super nice, we took a while to order and they didn't rush us. We ordered chicken biryani, mohinga, chicken tapioca soup, fried tofu, papaya salad & picked tea leaf salad. Papaya salad was spicy and sour, picked salad was spicy! Noodles and rice dishes were good! read more

What a pleasant addition to the neighborhood. Small and cozy seating area. Lots of take out orders being placed in person and on the phone. The staff was warm and helpful in assisting with choosing dishes. The tea leaf salad had lots of depth and texture, I really enjoyed it. It had layers of peanuts, mung beans, dried shrimps and crispy garlic chips. The tomato's and citrus really perfected it. The garlic noodle stir fry was delicious, called Kyae Ohh Garlic Noodle on the menu. It had lots of protein, chicken dumplings, fish cakes, and quail eggs on a bed of delicately prepared noodles (similar to angel hair). Do not miss out ! They also have a Japanese menu including sushi but you can get that any where in the area. Burmese not so much, happy exploring. read more

This place took over a long-standing neighborhood hole in the wall Thai spot, so I decided to check it out since there aren't many Burmese places around. I wasn't sure what to expect since Burmese food is pretty rare, but the coconut noodle broth was very, very subtle in flavor. If you prefer bold, flavorful soups, this dish probably isn't for you. It also seemed like some ingredients were missing--both from the listed description and the photo, like the egg and chickpea crisp. What I got was just noodles, a few chunks of what seemed to be curry chicken, some cilantro, and a pint of broth with bits of onion. I'll come back to try the tea leaf salad since that's what they're known for, but the noodle dish was pretty disappointing, especially since it was listed as one of their most popular items. read more

Burmese Harp - Coconut Noodle Soup - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A much needed & very welcome addition to the neighborhood! Overjoyed would be an understatement for my fiance, who has been craving mohinga. Given there's only a handful of burmese restaurants throughout NYC, having one right in Brooklyn is a blessing! Burmese Harp seems to have opened fairly recently, but we saw a good number of diners within their small and intimate restaurant. One things for sure - they're authentic. For table service, only Burmese dishes are available, but takeout offers some Japanese items. I'd only note - please be patient, as it's a small mom & pops shop, and they make the food to order. My fiance & I ordered their Mohinga ($11.99) and received our order in about 15 minutes. The fish soup is soo deeply savory, and it's not fishy at all. For spice lovers, highly recommend adding a scoop of their dried chili flakes. Toppings were generous with the fried chickpeas & egg, and overall portions were good. We finished off with the Banana Suji, which tastes a little bit like a banana sponge cake. Can't wait to be back to try other dishes, and would highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Burmese experience. Cash & card are both accepted. Inside seating fits about 12 people total. read more

Ordered a lot on the menu so I can try all the different type of burmese food as there's not a lot of burmese restaurant here in Brooklyn. Service is great and clean. It's a small shop where there's a few tables. I love their fried tofu and burmese tea and their garlic noodles. Will definitely try again as the food really did hit the spot. read more

We stopped in as my daughter has been asking to try this place since they took over from the Thai place. We loved the unique flavors of the tea leaf salad, the comforting coconut soup noodle and the delicious garlic noodles. We all really enjoyed the vegetables and the chicken meat balls in the garlic noodles. We ended off with the sumo dessert. Overall wonderful meal and can't wait to go back read more

Interesting food. The flavors are not very intense but it is delicious. This will become a go to order for us.

It's hard to find Burmese food in New York so I was excited to hear that this new Burmese restaurant opened in Bay Ridge. This is a cozy spot (only 4 tables for dine in) serving up home style cooking with friendly hospitality. They have a Burmese menu and a Japanese sushi menu. I opted for Burmese of course. Since I was unfamiliar with most of the menu items, I asked the owner to help me choose a dish. He recommended the kyae ohh garlic noodles. The noodles themselves (which is a rice vermicelli) are flavorful and garlicky and there's a very generous amount of it in the bowl. It's served with minced chicken sausage (flavorful but benefitted from some hot sauce), fish balls (a little too spongy for my taste), and a side of broth (incredibly good, probably my favorite). This place is definitely a hidden gem worth checking out if you're looking for something different. read more

I work in the area and decided to give this place a try for lunch. Glad I did, I ordered the Mohinga Fish Soup, and it was delicious. I ordered it to go and the soup came in one container, the other container had vermicelli noodles with chickpea crackers, a slice of lime and a small container of hot pepper. I poured the fish soup over the noodles, squirted the lime in and it was perfect. Great textures with the noodles and crispy chickpea crackers, the broth was very flavorful and was not fishy tasting at all. I made a great choice for this 40 degree April weather, it felt so nourishing and warming. Definitely coming back here to try more dishes! read more

Found out about this little burmese restaurant through a friend and I have to say, the food here tastes almost as good as my mom's cooking. Tea leaf salad (Lah Phet Thoke) and Mohinga was delicious. Highly recommend paying this place a visit if you can. read more

Burmese Harp - Pickled Tea Leaf Salad and Mohinga Fish Soup - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We came here for the Burmese food and loved it. We got the Mohinga soup, pickled tea leaf salad, and the signature rainbow noodle salad. It was all great but the pickled tea leaf salad and the noodle salad stood out. I would recommended having a bit of the rainbow noodle salad followed by a sip of the soup that comes with it, an amazing combo! The waiters were nice and explained the items. It's a small mom-and-pop type of place, and I definitely plan on returning. Next time I want to try the vegetable fritters. read more

Brooklyn is more conservative than queens and one way is that there are fewer unusual ethic food options available. Burmese harp plays by the rules and offers sushi and sesame chicken. Skip them and head for the Burmese menu. I had a warming bowl of fish soup (tho it could use more fish) with a ton of noodles , eggs and crunchy bits for texture. More of this please. read more

Amazing outstanding food is cooked to order so it's always fresh very friendly clean establishment. The food is a 10 out of 10. They use very high-quality ingredient and whenever I'm having it delivered is always piping hot. This is the best thing that ever happened in Bay Ridge. read more

The food was great and the service was very friendly and efficient. Since Burmese food is a rare find, even in NY, it was absolutely worth it to come here. We had the fried tofu, mohinga, shan noodles, kyae ohh garlic noodle, and banana suji. All the food came out great, everyone in my group enjoyed the everything we ordered and we all wish we lived closer. read more

Enjoyed several Burmese spots in the DC area over the years, so happy this gem opened up down the street. Picked up take away half a dozen times and have not been disappointed . Exotic flavors unlike any other cuisine , highly recommended read more

First time trying them and the food is delicious! I had the chicken meatball noodle soup with fish balls and it was absolutely delicious. Light and refreshing in a chicken broth with a light hint of garlic, I think. Perfect for a fall afternoon, which rice noodles and springy fish calls. The other dish I tried is the rainbow noodle stir fry salad. It wasn't as striking for me as the soup but it was quite yummy, with a gentle savory taste and a light crunch from the small dried shrimp. I think there are some tofu pieces mixed in too, which add a little texture. Overall, very excited to try more dishes if I can! read more

So glad this has opened in Bay Ridge! Burmese food is terrific, and they do a great job at Burmese Harp. Excellent noodle dishes and salads, including a superb version of Burma's famous tea leaf salad. The two noodle dishes we got (Rainbow Noodle Salad and Nan Pyar Noodle Salad) had very different kinds of noodles but in both cases the noodles were springy and well seasoned; both were delicious. Phone ordering was easy and delivery was quick. Will be ordering again soon. read more

Small cozy hidden gem located in convenient place or Burmese people and other Burmese food lover. Their menu is simple but authentic taste. Excellent service.They match the sauce with your order which is rare to find in here( E.g Tamarind sauce for Fried Tofu; red chili sauce and pickles chili for Kyay Oo, onion mint chutney for Biriyani). Hope they can get more local customers( other than Burmese) so that they can stay in this area for long term. read more

So good has all my favorite foods in one shop. Respectful service and quick serving times.
