There aren't many Burmese food options around here. We drive by Yoma Myanmar several times a day…read moreand have always been curious about it. We've thought about going a few times, but something always came up, or it was Sunday when they're closed. We had a school event at our son's school, and we really didn't want more PTA pizza. Our son wanted McDonald's, but we asked him to try something new, and I'm so glad we did. He loved it so much and already wants to come back! I noticed there was a coupon available on Restaurant.com for Yoma Myanmar, but the owner informed me they are no longer accepting them and have already contacted the site to be removed. I was initially bummed because the coupon was a great deal and I'd already purchased it, but its always a good idea to double check before ordering. I'm certainly glad I did! I asked for recommendations, and the owner was wonderful - she explained the menu, which regions of Myanmar the dishes originated from, and what she thought we would enjoy. We decided to start off with some Fried Samusas ($14.99) and the Tea Leaf Salad ($16.99). For our entrees, we shared two mains: the Beef Curry ($19.99) and the Shan Noodle Soup ($15.99). The owner was so sweet; I think she felt bad about the coupon situation because she gave us some complimentary rice and a Coconut Jelly for dessert. The Fried Samusas were quite good and a perfect appetizer to share. I've always known Samusas to be of Indian origin, but the Burmese style is smaller and crispier, featuring a milder blend of spiced potatoes, onions and lentils. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the dipping sauce served on the side is quite spicy and serves as a great complement to the samusas. The Tea Leaf Salad is a crunchy, savory Burmese dish made with fermented tea leaves, assorted nuts, toasted sesame seeds fried yellow split peas, fried garlic and chopped tomatoes. I loved the texture of this dish; it was highly addictive, and I couldn't stop eating it! The flavor profile is a wonderful mixture of savory, sour, and earthy notes. This is definitely a dish I recommend giving a try. The Beef Curry was smothered in a rich sauce was absolutely delicious - it was my wife's favorite dish. She even mentioned that she'd definitely come back for this dish alone. The meat was incredible tender and flavorful. Shan Noodles is a popular Burmese dish originating from the Shan State, made with rice noodles. The garnish includes toasted peanuts, sesame seeds, fried garlic, chopped cilantro, and green onions. We chose pork as our protein, and it was a solid dish that both my son and I really enjoyed. Because the noodles are served dry with the soup on the side, you can add the broth to tailor the dish exactly to your liking. This is a hidden gem in Monterey Park that is well worth visiting. We'll definitely be back to order these favorites again and explore more of the menu.

Everything was great and flavorful. Burmese food to me is similar to Thai food mixed with Indian influence. Portion size is very generous. You definitely get your money worth.

There seems to only be one server so things can take some time but otherwise, the service is good! It's located in a small strip mall with relatively easy parking but some spots can be a bit tight. The interior is simple but definitely "mom and pop" vibes. We ordered Fried Ogo Squash, Paratha with Peas, and Tea Leaf Salad for starters and Prawn Curry and Gravy Rice as mains dishes. All the starters were delicious choices and, although the paratha was a little oily, it went super well with the peas and curry. The prawn curry was a flavor explosion with the prawns being perfectly cooked and the gravy rice was packed with veggies and a good amount of gravy. Some people in our party are vegetarian and everything besides the prawn curry were good choices for them. For desserts and drinks, we ordered RC Trio Delight, Smashed Strawberry Drink, and Rangoon Milk Tea. The RC Trio was a little on the sweet side but refreshing and the smashed strawberry was a delicious yogurt drink filled with strawberry. The Rangoon milk tea is delicious and a not too sweet option. 10/10 would recommend. Already thinking about the next time we come back.

I have the benefit of two additional friends who also visited this restaurant (a.k.a. Centana Mon)…read more One is Burmese, so I can attest to the authenticity of the food by his judgement. Everything we had was quite tasty. We went on a weekday for late lunch, so the service was quick. I heard that when crowded, it is slower. (Also, college students are on summer break and staffing the restaurant during their summer break. That will end soon.) The restaurant is clean, though the setting is a bit spartan. It is in a small shopping center, with sufficent parking. I spent one summer working in a small mid-western town when I was in college, and there were few options other than standard American fare. We live in one of the best areas for cuisine from all parts of the world, owned and prepared by people who were raised there. It is a blessing to be able to drive a short distance and experience so much variety. Burmese food is rare even here, and it deserves to be tried.

While I'm grateful that they took my order before they were officially open (10am is when they open…read morebut they opened their door at 940am), I'm not happy with how expensive the food is. The tea leaf salad is delicious, don't get me wrong. But one order is $13 on the menu. I got two of them because the portion isn't exactly generous. Their beef curry is $19 - and to my utter shock, what I got was a container that held around seven tablespoons of meat and sauce. To add insult to injury, the beef curry was NOT made fresh. The waiter just pulled it out of their giant refrigerator and then packed it in a to go bag. The final insult is that for just these three items I had to pay $52. Not even all of these combined will keep me full. I could've probably just gone to Jollibee and gotten a ten piece bucket for $30. At least it would've been freshly cooked and absolutely filling. And I'd be able to take home leftovers. I support local businesses, sure, but the underlying assumption is that they charge a fair price for the portions given. This may just be me, but I don't feel like I get much bang for my buck here. It's too bad there aren't more reasonably priced Burmese restaurants in the area that I could support. Mandalay's tea leaf salad is great but very expensive. If I knew how to make the tea leaf salad myself, I would, but I don't.

Ingredients for tealeaves salad, kauk-tswae (noodle), moah-ghin-kah (curry ginger based catfish soup eaten with rice noodle), own-noad-kwak-tswae (coconut based curry chicken soup eaten with Chinese noodle), etc. you are in luck here. I was there right before they were closing. So, not much pix were taken. The lighting was dim. But I could still find the ingredients that I was looking for. Besides, Burmese food ingredients, this place also cater most Asian vegetables, meat, and food items. The older lady at the register counter was friendly, patient, and helpful. Parking is limited but street parking are available. No ev chargers are available in the parking lot. So, if you are in the neighborhood of Monterey Park, stop by and see for yourself or enjoy having some exotic Burmese food to go. Bon appetite.

The restraint is small and hidden in a tiny strip mall. There is a small parking lot, but ample street parking. Shwe Taung's menu is extensive and full of exotic and enticing dishes. We ordered Coconut Chicken Khao Soi, Shan Noodles, and Mixed Tempura Fries. Each dish was wonderful. They all had unique mixtures of spices -- flavorful but not too hot. Both noodle dishes were unlike anything we've ever encountered, and it will be difficult not to order the same things when we return. Still, the menu contains many other tempting choices. The service was friendly and professional. Our waiter was extremely helpful to two Burmese food neophytes. We will certainly return in the near future. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and try Shwe Taung.

It was my first time trying Burmese food, so I had no idea what to order and just asked the young gentleman working there to pick something for me. He chose the Mandalar fried noodles with chicken and wow...he did not disappoint. The noodles were savory, filling, and packed with flavor, and the sauces on the side made everything even better. The move is to mix the fish sauce with the lemon juice into the noodles. Incredible flavor combo. The vinegary cabbage on the side was also perfect with it. The whole thing tasted really fresh and honestly felt very authentic. I didn't even think I was hungry enough to finish the whole plate, but I could not stop eating it. Definitely want to come back and try more!

This is a fantastically unique dish to this area of the world, where pickled tea leaves flavor a mix of fried grains, nuts, and seeds. There was a combination of textures from fried lentils, mung beans, peanuts, fresh tomatoes, and dried shrimp. This is a must order here, as it was unique and delicious.  We also got the Chicken Noodle Soup and the Beef Curry, which were simple and delicious as well. It was fun to look through their imported grocery goods while we waited to order as well. They have a very enjoyable outdoor patio to eat on, and it was an overall very enjoyable experience.
