    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Coconut Noodle Soup

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pickled Tea Leaf Salad and Mohinga Fish Soup

    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.

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.

It is a good idea to have a reservation if you're a larger party. A couple ahead of us had a stroller and they were able to accommodate. We started out with 3 small plates, all delicious. Squash Tempura... you can't go wrong with a deep fried vegetable. Not heavy at all. Makes for a great starter with the tamarind garlic dip. The Keema Paratha was especially good. The spicing of the ground beef was perfect, also served with a delicious sauce. Hot enough just to get your attention and wake up your tastebuds. I could have eaten this as a main course and loved it. The Ginger Beef skewers were good as well. To drink we had the Shwe Pwint, which is advertised as a mule but doesn't come in a copper cup so I was pleasantly surprised. It was SO good. Nice and strong. For the entree, I got the Lemongrass Chicken Curry. The bone-in thigh is my favorite part of a chicken because it has the most flavor and is never dry. The chicken is a good sized serving so pace yourself. If I could have I would have drowned myself in the curry sauce. I wanted so much more. I needed it for the tasty rice. More!!! The service was attentive and not rushed. Perfect. Relaxed. Great conversation. This was a fantastic way to be introduced to Burmese food. A perfect night out.

I got the shwe pwint, which was similar to a Moscow Mule. It was a good serving size. Pleasantly tangy, but a bit too sweet. To eat, I had the Burmese tea leaf salad. It was deliciously crunchy. It included fresh chili peppers, which were quite spicy. I enjoyed them, but they might bring too much heat for some folks. We sat in the back corner of the restaurant at a table with couches and pillows. It was very cozy and would be perfect for a couple.

I was at this Burmese place, which also sells some Thai food and other things, with a group relatively recently, where we shared a bunch of their thotes/athoke, or salads, as well as two other dishes. I think I remember going here one other time and getting either the Shan Khauk Swal Thoke or Nan Gyi Thoke, but I'm not positive, as it was a good while ago. The menu has gone through some changes over the years, but it's still reasonably priced. The service was friendly, and the vibes are casual, with the food being good overall, even if I prefer some other spots for Burmese food. To drink, I noticed a tea being ordered at another table and got an iced one, which I think was a very reasonable $3.50 or similar. It was refreshing and tasty with a mild sweetness from condensed milk and a strong tea flavor, and I would recommend it if you're a fan of similar drinks from the surrounding countries/South East Asia. Our only smaller dish that wasn't a salad was the A Kyaw Sone, a mix of fried vegetables with a tamarind chili sauce. As with most other dishes, there are small and large sizes, and we got the large, which was $14.99. The portion was quite large, with four different types of fritters and a very tasty dipping sauce, which had some sweetness and spiciness. In terms of the fritters, I was happy that the batter was light, but I did find them to be just a bit oily, with this especially being the case for the fried clump of greens. My favorite was probably the onion one, as I liked the light sweetness, and it felt a tad less oily. The larger ones, which each had a different filling, were also more unique with a soft inside. My favorite of the thoke/salads we tried was the Gin Thoke for the same price, with "gin" referring to pickled ginger, with there also being dried shrimp, crushed peanuts, garlic, and sesame seeds. The ginger added a sharp little bite, and there was otherwise a good mix of crunch. This was also the least dressed, which I liked a lot. While I prefer Little Myanmar for this athoke, it was still tasty and cheaper for the large portion size. Also for the same price was the Latphat, or Lahpet Thoke, with fermented tea leaves, tomato, cabbage, fried shrimp, crushed peanuts, fried garlic, sesame seeds, and a 100 minuscule distinct shift in crunch, was also tasty. This is the signature dish of Myanmar, along with mohinga (more on that later.) The portion was large, but this was the wettest version of this dish, which I wasn't the biggest fan of. Otherwise, there was a light fermented flavor and plenty of crunchy textures. Our last thoke was the Pa Zun Chin Thoke, with sour shrimp, green chili, cilantro, oil, and onion, which only has one size for $12.99. The person who ordered this expected it to be pieces of shrimp, but instead, I would describe it as fish cakes made from shrimp. The fish cakes reminded me of a fermented dish from Laos, which makes sense in hindsight, and I liked the texture. Otherwise, the dish had some kick and some saltiness. I know a few others disliked this, but I enjoyed it as well. The last dish we ordered as a group was the Grilled Pork Neck and Shoulder, served with papaya salad and sticky rice. This was the largest portion of any dish, which makes sense with the $20.99 price tag. The pork was very tender, and the papaya salad had a slight kick to it. I liked that there were two types of sticky rice, and the green sauce on the side, while not spicy, added some nice extra herbal and sour flavor when wanted. This was also tasty. To go, I decided to order a Mohinga, or Burmese Fish Noodle Soup, for $11.99. This consisted of thin rice noodles in a fish soup with ginger, lemongrass, onion, garlic, and fried rice powder served with hard-boiled egg, crispy split chickpea, cilantro, lemon, and crushed red chili. The dish was packaged nicely with the crunchy toppings and noodles separate from the soup. Compared to other places, I found it a little bit spicier, which I enjoyed, though it lacked a little bit of depth of flavor compared to Sophie's. It was also missing the crunch from the banana blossom flower. Otherwise, there was plenty of crunch, and the portion was quite large for the price. In terms of spots, I put it above Little Myanmar, below Sophie's/Burmese Bites, and way below the now-closed Yun Cafe. The food here was tasty, with a couple of issues. I found in general that the dishes were overdressed, and this was especially the case with the salads/athoke. While not my favorite Burmese place, the portions were large for the price, and the flavors were good.

We ordered: - Mohinga (Burmese Fish Noodle Soup) (#11): good flavors, especially with all the toppings. I liked that the soup was separate, so that the noodles and toppings doesn't get soggy. - Fried Beef with Spicy (#22): mostly nicely fried, though some pieces were a bit dry because it is small cuts. Well seasoned, especially the crunch, so definitely eat with rice. Nice kick, but not too spicy, unless you're eating the chili. - Nga-ku Sin Kaw Curry (FIsh) (#23): tenderly cooked fresh fish. It goes well flavor-wise with the curry. The crunch and the vegetables add more texture, though I would have liked some curry on the vegetables. - Pa Zun Chin Thoke (sour shrimp salad) (#31 - Spicy) : good sour and spicy (hits you at the end!) flavor. It's not whole shrimps, it's cubed shrimp paste, which leads to an interesting texture. - Latphat Thoke (tea leaf salad) (#37): can really taste the fermented-ness of the tea leaves. There is a great mix of texture, especially the crunch! I did avoid the raw garlic. - A Kyaw Sone (fried vegetables) (#39 - Small): I enjoyed the spicy tamarind chili dipping sauce. The veggies were fresh (spinach, zucchini, turnip?) and the breading was crispy on the outside. This was suggested by the waitress and I'm glad we ordered it. - Grilled Pork Neck with Papaya Salad (#43 - Large): tender and flavorful pork. I love the herby green sauce to go with the pork. The Papaya Salad was fresh and crisp. The addition of the sweet sticky rices were a great touch. Overall a nice spot to check out for Burmese food. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. They have a Non-Burmese (mostly Chinese) portion of the menu as well (labeled as "Group B" on the menu).

I finally got the perfect opportunity to stop in yesterday and I wish I had done so sooner. The space is small, but clean and comfortable. I ordered the ginger salad and the rice pancake balls with quail egg and both items were prepared quickly. The ginger salad is incredible. It's like the most perfect salad I've ever eaten. Not exaggerating at all, this is one of the most delicious things I've had this year. I am a ginger lover, but I still wasn't sure what it would be like to eat this much ginger. This dish almost treats ginger like a vegetable and not just a seasoning. The textures of this dishes really make it stand out. There are so many different textures in here that create a complex and fascinating bite. The crisp, finely shredded cabbage and ginger make up the base, which is mixed with various crunchy nuts and seeds and soft juicy pops of diced tomato. The flavors in this dish are intense. This quantity of sinus clearing ginger would be inedible without being held in balance by a good deal of salt and seasoning in the dressing and the rich, earthy savoriness of the nuts and seeds. I was really amazed by this dish. It was outstanding. After the extreme bright salty flavor of the salad, the rice pancake balls don't pack quite the same punch. However, the quail egg in here is cooked beautifully. It came out warm, with a soft jammy center and the white was a soft silky jelly. The whole thing is surrounded by a slightly chewy layer of rice based pancake. The flavor of the rice comes through, and the exterior is slightly crispy. These had so much richness from that egg yolk. It was so savory and comforting even though I've never eaten anything like this before. Really looking forward to my next visit here as I found the two items I tried to be remarkable and outstanding.
