    Burmese Pea Soup
    Jack D.

    First and foremost. Service is superb. From the heart and shows everyone cares. You're not here for ambiance. This isn't date night material. As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Thai and Viet cuisine, I was eager to try this new twist. Not exactly in the neighborhood, but worth the hike. The pea soup is vegan and has an indescribable taste. A great one. The ginger salad is crispy and marvelous. Will get it again and again. My Lord is it good. Beef in red curry. Hmmm! A stew in a thick hearty sauce. Neither Indian nor Thai. It's a unique dish and very good. The rice noodles with tofu was also good. Nothing extraordinary. All in all, definitely coming back. Many more dishes to try out. A whole new cuisine to explore. A lovely place with lovely people.

    Appetizer Platter
    Kat J.

    Great gem for our weekend in Lancaster. The food was delicious and the service extremely friendly. We tried the appetizer platter to sample a variety of fried food, my favorite was the fried gourd. The batter was so light and fluffy instead of doughy. Rare to see in a deep fried dish. My absolute favorite dish was the beef salad. Perfectly seasoned and refreshing for a hot summer night. The two noodle dishes were also excellent. The owner came by to say hi at the end of the meal. He was super friendly and personable. His daughter and grandson also worked there. It's such a great family business. Highly recommend!!

    Beef Burmese Curry
    Eric B.

    Very nice dinner of a tender Beef Curry dish and a fried banana desert. A perfect bowl for a cool Fall night. The dessert was a lovely ending. Owner is super nice and friendly. It looks like the sushi and Thai dishes are good. Yet, I am always eating Burmese at a Burmese restaurant. Apparently, the owner made sushi for Wegman's for 25 years, so it is decent. My buddy liked it. All of the dishes were delicious.

    Service staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambience isn't fancy but clean. Food was delicious.

    This is to go food- Keh sa Keh with shrimp and the famous coconut soup with mango smoothie.
    Doug B.

    Amazing food, excellent service and staff, and very clean place. You must try this place! All the food is delicious, and they have Thai, Sushi, and Burmese! I got Keh Se kehy with shrimp heat level 5 with coconut soup at heat level 5 also. The flat noodles are melt in your mouth and the tamarind spice is so savory, you crave it! The coconut soup is creamy and rich and so delicious. Mango smoothie is a great combination too. It's like pure mango and perfectly sweet. Try it, you'll like it! Ask for Wen the owner and tell him Doug sent you.

    My son and I have been going to Eastern Palace since I they opened. This review is overdue. We have always enjoyed their food and service. The owner is always checking on the guests to make sure everything went well. I noticed on my last visit some new renovations that added some nice new booths. Will back like always.

    Fantastic Thai food here, some of the best I've ever had. And definitely try their Burmese dishes, so incredibly good. 10/10, highly recommend. I'll be back and we will become a regular here!

    Tea Leaf Salad
    Jack M.

    I ordered the Beef Curry and Tea Leaf Salad. The curry sauce was too watery and weak. It lacked slick mouth feel and aromatic complexity. The beef was dry and stringy from overcooking. The Tea Leaf salad I think was good for what it was. Its a flavor unfamiliar to my palate. Initially this dish had an ammonia acrid smell to it, likely because ammonia can build up when fermented items are sealed. This smell does dissipate after 15 minutes. Side note: this is why you should always let cheeses sit unsealed for 15-20 mins before serving. Overall, this place is probably highly rated for their sushi, which I did not get.

    This place left me wanting more! So I'll have to come back soon. Stopped for late lunch, so was mostly empty. Ordered the Burmese Chicken and potato curry. Came with their traditional peas soup. Everything was amazing. Great flavor. Then they brought out some custard dessert. So tasty! Very reasonably priced. Better than I expected. Will be back.

    Tom Yum Seafood Soup
    Bryan G.

    So on our last night in Lancaster we craved for Asian food and the closest ang high-rated we found in yelp is the Eastern Palace. My wife called them first and asked if they have dine-in available and they responded they are open for dine-in. Its a quick 5 minute drive from our hotel and when we got here to be honest nothing really fancy from its exterior look. Inside nothing fancy too but I find it a bit spacious than I expected. We sat down on a spot by the window and we were greeted by a man (probably owner) and he is friendly. He even greeted my 2 year old son in my native language and then we have a bit of chat. We are familiar with the dishes and know what to get so we dont have to ask him about what or how the dish is prepared. It took awhile before the food was served because I believe the amount of customers had gradually increased (dinner time) since we've arrived and a lot of order are getting thru the phone. Pad Thai was served first and wow how we like it a lot. Then after that came the Tom Yum soup and Burmese Chicken Curry. The soup was okay and probably its not the sane as the one tried in another asian dining place. Honestly, I am not sure what does an authentic Tom Yum taste like. A friend told me that it is like the "Sinigang" (Filipino) version. The Burmese curry I liked it and it is my first time to have it. It has its own twist of chicken curry. The egg rolls and Boba tea are good and I can tell it from the way my daughter is enjoying it. Usually when food is not up to her palate's standard she will tell me. For the dessert we had the fried banana with vanilla ice cream and its okay but not great for I find the fried banana lacking sweetness althought the preparation I must say is good. Overall, if you are in Lancaster and looking for asian food do consider this place.

We dropped in early on a Sunday to check the place out. We make a point of trying every Burmese restaurant in the MD/VA/PA area, so when this popped up on Google, we had to go. Since it was early, the full menu wasn't available, but we were able to order the Mon Hin Khar (Mohinga (fish soup)) and Gyin Thoke (ginger salad). Portions were generous, broth for the Mohinga tasted clean and traditional, a good amount of fish included. It was on par with the other restaurants we have tried. (Mohinga is one of the traditional dishes of Burma, and as such, people often have their own flavor/variation that they prefer, so we judge it based on what other places in the area might serve). The ginger salad was fresh and delicious. The ingredients were packaged separately in the container. (If you've never had ginger salad before, this might be a bit confusing. Recommend mixing all the ingredients together and letting it sit for a few minutes before eating so the flavors from the oil, ginger, and lime have a chance to meld). All and all, this was a good experience, we met the owner (who is also the chef) and because we had to wait a bit, he gave us some freebies, which he didn't have to do at all (we were fine with the wait). Next time we want to try the other salad and some of the fried rice dishes. Now that we are more familiar with the restaurant and location, we would probably also order ahead online to bypass any waiting. Hope this place will be able to expand in terms of hours and some more traditional Burmese dishes soon.

Upon entry I was quickly seated and cold water was brought to the table. During my last time here I discovered the cooks are Burmese so I promised myself that I would order a Burmese dish the next time I came. Today was the day to do exactly that. I placed my order and waited for my food to arrive. Eventually my order arrived. Nan Ji Thoke: a savory noodle dish with chicken and hard boiled egg garnished with onion and crunchy split chickpeas. The dish is accompanied by a side of clear vegetable broth. Shortly after my food arrived I noticed the waitress speaking with someone who came out of the kitchen. I was then introduced to this man who happened to be the owner. We struck up pleasant conversation about Burmese food, my limited experience with it and desire to further explore this cuisine. Our chat led deeper into discussion about restaurants in Philadelphia and what cuisines should come to Lancaster. Aside from the conversation, the dish was fantastic. I had Nan Ji Thoke before but this expression was better than I ever had. I made sure I verbally expressed this as well. I savored the flavor on my palette for approximately the next two hours. I definitely plan on returning and hope you visit if you never have before.

If there was a 3.5 star option, I feel like that would be the most accurate representation here. The place itself is located on the wall of the Lotte in Catonsville and it looks like a small family-run establishment. Service was kind, but admittedly a bit of a language barrier which may have affected some of the ordering process. In total, we ordered the tea leaf salad, a curry dish, seafood noodles, and the asian doughnuts. While I was hoping for fresh, vibrant dishes, my expectations fell a bit short where some of the proteins felt a bit tough and other ingredients felt a bit soggy. The flavor profile was good (one of those places where spicy means spicy), but it did lean a bit on the seafoody/fishy side. I still think it warrants checking out because it's not often that there's Burmese cuisine available.

Our staff were always looking out for us, and making suggestions and recommendations throughout our entire meal, and even helping us with some tips to better enjoy our meal (they saw me sweating in response to the Thai spice). Definitely made this a top-notch experience. Ambience here is great! Love places with *real* greenery indoors and a lot of natural light, like this place, and seats and tables were spread out sufficiently such that there was a nice background chatter without feel too infringed upon by other conversations. We ordered a good variety to share. The spare ribs and the glass noodles dishes were amazing! Everything came out as ready, but it was on a good cadence such that we were enjoying things as they were ready, hot and fresh. I'm no expert on legitimacy of flavors and dishes, but honestly this feels like the most legit stuff I've had in the Thai wheelhouse in a while. To boot, even though we said no to dessert because we had other plans, they came with a candle on a plate to still share birthday wishes. A nice touch! Definitely a fancy occasion kind of place in my books, but I'd definitely make a return trip on another occasion!

    KenScale: 8.25/10 Visit: April 2026…read more One restaurant in Philadelphia that I had wanted to visit for a long time was Kalaya, which was featured in the Chef's Table documentary on Netflix in 2024. I was moved by the personal story of the chef Chutatip "Nok" Suntaranon in the show, and of course my wife Jun and I would never say no to some delicious Thai food. On our recent trip to Philly to celebrate our anniversary, Jun and I finally got to check out Kalaya (which is named for the chef's mother) on a rainy Sunday for lunch before driving back home. We were very pleased with the lunch at Kalaya, which in our mind really showcased the Thai spicy flavor well. The menu at Kalaya features Southern Thai dishes inspired by the chef's family history. The colorful display of the dishes stood out throughout our meal, but more importantly we also really liked the spicy flavor that felt genuine and soulful. The cute flower-shaped Shaw Muang dumplings with ground chicken were highly recommended by our server and the kick from the Thai chili set the right tone right away. We were also fond of the poached shrimp and cabbage salad with coconut cream (Yum Kalum Bplee) for the delightfully crispy texture. For the main dishes, we ordered one stir fry and one curry. If you have to order just one dish at Kalaya, I can't recommend the colossal crab stir fry with egg (Pu Pad Pong Karee) enough. Served with jasmine rice, this dish offered complex flavor of spicy, salty, sour and sweet that was quite unlike anything I had encountered in a while. As Jun and I were savoring this awesomeness, I wished that I could've eaten this every week. The goat and lamb curry (Gaeng Pae), served with pickled cucumbers and coconut turmeric rice, was also impressive, with rustic curry broth that suddenly hit my tongue with spice blend. Despite that powerful impact on my palate, I couldn't stop myself from enjoying the curry, especially with the coconut turmeric rice that neutralized the curry's spicy kick somewhat. We also shared a side dish of stir-fried local mushrooms (Hed Pad Kratiam) that was solid as well. We were running out of room in our stomach after cleaning up the savory dishes, so we settled with ordering a Thai iced coffee to go before hitting the road. Not surprisingly, Kalaya is a very popular restaurant in the Philly dining scene so getting a reservation in advance is essential. I was a bit nervous on our visit as we were running rather late (by around 30 minutes) from picking up our car from the parking lot, yet the restaurant was gracious enough to honor our reservation. The bright and lively dining space offered quite a fitting background to the character of the dishes. There is a full bar with Thai-inspired cocktails and concise wine list designed to complement the Thai spices well. Kalaya definitely lived up its hype as one of the most important restaurants in Philadelphia; Jun and I were glad to have visited and would be more than happy to come back for our next visit to the city.
