    Had a totally vegetarian meal while my friend was visiting town. We shared samusa, Burmese tea salad, tofu salad, pea fried rice with egg, and curry with tofu. I'm not a vegetarian, my friend is, but I loved everything. It was all flavorful and the textures were good. Service is friendly and quick as well. I wish it was closer to me, I'd go all the time.

    Not a traditional Burmese restaurant since they heavily advertised ramen noodles and served pan Asian foods as well. Pleasantly surprised by quality of food. Tea leaf salad was decent. Could have used a bit more tea leaves. Nan Gyi Thot as great. Exactly the taste I'd expect from the dish. My favorite was goat curry on the bone. Not creamy. Cooked traditional style and slow simmered. Fall off the bone tender. If you are expecting typical Indian curry you won't be happy. This is a drier curry cooked with more oil and ginger. Haven't tried other dishes but I plan to come back.

    I've never tried Burmese food in my life until I found this place. I fall in love with the Shan noodle. Thailand and Burmese are neighbor but I've never visited the country. I didn't expect the similarity in the food. I'm amazed by this dish. The noodle with soup on the side is hard to find here but it's very common in Thailand, same as Burmese. Recommend : Hot tea (sweet, creamy and fragrance) Shan noodle with pork (Chicken is a little smushy for me) Kye Oo Si Chet I haven't tried their ramens but base on amount of Japanese people I saw. The ramen must be good Hahahaha.

    This Place!!! First off it is always full of foreigners (always a great sign when eating foreign food). It is in a strip mall around the corner from Eyeglass World but don't let this "hole in the wall" vibe turn you away! The flavor of the food makes it a must stop distention when I visit the south side! Where to start - this is Burmese food - a rare delicacy of ethnic food since it's a small place in Asia that has been in turmoil since 2005 then again in 2016-17. I would describe it as a mix of Thai and Vietnamese - richness of spice and rich flavor in every bite. The flavor of the broth is savory to the last cooler bite & the way the sauce wraps itself in rice or noodles - makes me envious. I have tried almost everything on the menu (can't believe I never wrote a review considering how many times I have been here!). The dishes are described very well ***heat caution*** medium here can make you sweat a little lol. Go with mild to no spice if you have little to no tolerance. If you do have a high tolerance start with medium to medium-hot -- hot is like the Thai scale of 4/4.5 out of 5. It comes out piping hot too. So if you decide a togo order is more your style - know it will be good till you get home (as long as you are no more than 15ish minutes away... may still need to cool a little more even still).

    Burmese Shan noodles

    I ordered Burmese Shan noodles & samusas, my bf ordered the Kimu noodles (pho). The Burmese Shan noodles comes with broth and mixing it with all the spices makes is so hearty & delicious! The noodles are perfectly chewy. Would highly recommend this dish especially for cold weather. Don't forget to add some chili sauce for an extra kick. The samusas were also a great appetizer. The pho had a lighter broth, but still lots of flavor. Will definitely be back here soon!

    Veggie rolls with a sweet dipping sauce

    Our group enjoyed not only a quiet space for a chat but the waitress was very gracious and kept returning to answer our ignorant questions about Burmese food...what is this sauce for or how do you eat this etc. It is an amazing little spot with fresh ingredients, real Burmese food and a nice space for a gathering. We had their spring rolls which were crispy and filled with veggies. I then got a veggie soup which was so filling I had to bring half home with me. The favors were complex and layered plus you could add herbs, lime and fresh sprits to it as desired. Beware the green sauce as the seeds are FIRE hot! But it adds a nice flavor is you can avoid adding the seeds to your dish. A nice spot to try a new cuisine and reasonable priced for what you get!

    Steamed rice with spicy sauce

    I had some time to kill between appointments in the Greenwood area so I consulted the saved placed to eat map on Google that my husband created. It showed the closest restaurant was Kimu Restaurant. This is a Burmese restaurant. Yea have never eaten the cuisine so I was excited to try it out. I went in and was seated immediately. The lovely waitress brought over a menu and some iced water. It took me quite a bit of time to decide what to eat. I had heard of Samusas before but never had a chance to try them. They are fried pastries filled with potatoes and onions served with a hot sauce. They were brought to the table and arrived golden brown and delicious(I like to call it GBD). They were piping hot but I have to say the sauce was a great compliment. I thoroughly enjoyed them. The main dish was a hard choice but in the end I ordered the steamed whole fish. I've seen it on a few menus and today seemed like a good day to make it happen. She didn't know what type of fish but it didn't really matter. She informed me it would take about 20 minutes and made sure that was ok. I had plenty of time to just relax and take on the atmosphere. Lots of people came and went as I sat there. They did a lot of take out and many people came in to dine as well. My fish finally arrived. It was served in a broth of sorts with several vegetables and smelled so fragrant. I do believe there were pieces of lemongrass there too. I also spotted carrots, green onion, and tomatoes. It was accompanied by a side of steamed rice and a bowl of a sauce which contained Thai chilis maybe because boy it was spicy. Funny thing is I'm not a huge spicy fan but I just kept eating it. The fish dipped into it was fantastic. I had tears running down my face from the heat but that didn't stop me. I enjoyed the meal so much. I asked for another glass of water and the check. The meal was more than i cold have asked for especially since I didn't know what I was getting myself into. If you are adventurous go visit Kimu Restaurant and try something new. I'm so glad I did. Until next time grab a fork and knife and get eating. Let me know what your favorite cuisine is. I'm always open to new ideas. Follow me at Jennifeasts on Instagram and Facebook for more reviews.

    Tea leaf salad
    Amy C.

    Such a gem! The Burmese food here is authentic, delicious, affordable, and comes into generous portions. I loved each of the three dishes I ordered (tea leaf salad, Shan noodles, pork with pickled mango), which was the perfect amount for 2 (3 people if you're not too hungry). Service was also great- our waitress was very friendly and helpful with recs. I hope everyone gives this restaurant a shot! I promise you won't regret it.

    TontukoRamen
    Sigrid W.

    Glad I ventured in here. On a cold dreary day we were looking for something to warm us up and decided some sort of soup was in order, ,so we went in. Great choice. Good food. Service was fast and friendly. We opted for ramen. I had the Tonkutso Ramen and my guest had the Miso Ramen. Both came in big steaming bowls of yummy goodness. Eggs, pork belly and other goodies floating atop huge bowls of broth and ramen noodles. Just what we needed. Both broths were delicious in their own way. The pork belly was so tender it fell apart in our mouths. The egg done to perfection, the white solid as a rock, the yolk yellow (no green or blue edge as happens so often) and solid on the edge and liquid in the middle. And so many noodles we couldn't eat it all. I will certainly be back to sample more of their menu. PS: Ambiance not so much.

    Shan khaut swe that's accompanied by cabbage and mone hnyin chin with chicken soup on the side!
    Joshua D.

    The food was flavourful, however the price to portion size ratio was not in the "bang for bucks" favor. Nice people, friendly service, mom and pop style restaurant. Tip: sit back, order food and enjoy the full cutural experience.

The drinks, the ramen, the dessert...we love it all, and we love spending our money at a local business. For years now, the kitchen has substituted rice for ramen for me because I have gluten intolerance. I have always asked respectfully, explained why, and said thank you, every single time. Tonight my husband and I walked down to Strangebird for dinner, ordered drinks and dinner, and I had *just* said to my husband that Strangebird has come to feel like a second home. Then the server came out and told us that the chef has decided they will no longer permit any modifications, including those that meet dietary needs. We were out on the quiet patio surrounded by other customers, so on top of being totally blindsided, it was actually pretty embarrassing, too. Folks, let me tell you how much I wish I could just eat the ramen noodles like everybody else. So much food that I love (and in some cases spent years learning to make myself) went out the window forever when my body stopped being able to handle wheat. But at Strangebird, I could still go in and enjoy the depth of flavor in every other component of a bowl of ramen. And that meant the absolute world to me. I'm heartbroken.

Their radish kimchi in particular is amazing--it's a must-try. Best of all, Sisters Korean is locally owned and operated. Highly recommend supporting them and enjoying a flavorful, authentic meal!

Overall the flavors were good and satisfying and the service was wonderful for such a casual spot. I would go back if I needed a quick meal and was in the mood for a rice bowl. I do think they should put on a few more veggies as it was mainly rice in my bowl, but the rice was delicious and with enough sauce it felt more of a meal. Definitely worth a try!

First off, I got the spicy teriyaki chicken bowl (regular size), and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was packed with flavor. The portion size was more than fair for the price around $10.99 for the combo and it genuinely felt like you're getting your money's worth. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the sauce had just the right kick, and everything was fresh. I also grabbed an egg roll on the side (not included in the combo), and it was 100% worth it great size, crispy, and just done right. Now I'll be honest, I usually don't go for yakisoba noodles, but the co-owner, Brandy, insisted I try them. She had my girlfriend get rice so we could swap and compare, and I'm glad we did because both were seriously amazing. I'd go back for either one without hesitation. But what really made this experience stand out wasn't just the food it was the service. Brandy is hands down one of the most welcoming and genuine people I've ever met in the service industry, and I've been in it myself for over 7.5 years. The way she greeted us, asked if it was our first time, explained things, and just kept such a positive, upbeat energy the whole time it made a huge difference. She even came by to check on us while we were eating, which you barely see anymore unless you're at a sit-down restaurant and even then, some places don't do it well. She absolutely nailed it. If that's the level of care and energy she brings as a co-owner, I can only imagine how strong her team is. She sets the tone, and it shows. Overall, this place gets 5 stars across the board from me honestly, if I could give 10, I would give 12. And Brandy? 10 stars easy. She's doing everything right and deserves all the recognition. You can tell she truly cares, and that kind of effort doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you again, Brandy you're amazing at what you do. Keep being you. Your team is lucky to have you, and you're definitely setting the standard. - Gio & Marissa (the guy with the health & life science hat, you know who this is!)

I did not know what went with what or how to exactly eat it. So, I just mixed the chicken with the rice and skipped the hot sauce, because the chicken was hot enough. It was a very good meal and at a reasonable price. In keeping with my venturing out and trying new things. This was a nice spot to visit and they have some really good food. I recommend checking this place out, but maybe learn a bit about Burmese cuisine like I did.
