Excuse the glare, their sushi menu. 9/15/23
James L.

Our first time back after it changed owners and name. This was on our radar for a bit and the day came when we wanted to try something different. On a weekday lunchtime, they weren't busy at all. It was easy to snag parking at the small lot in front. There are some outdoor seats for warmer weather and the tables inside are for 4. My first choice was the Coconut Khao Soi, which is their Burmese version of a Thai Curry Noodle, but unfortunately they started making it late that day and I would've had to wait an hour. So we went tooth the Tea Leaf Rice that's served with a couple of deep fried wings, plus Fish Cake Curry. The tea leaf rice was very mild. I expected it to be packed with flavor like their tea leaf salad. The wings tasted like they were refried because the meat was a bit tough. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be in Burmese cuisine but took me off guard. The fish curry was the opposite with very bold and spicy flavors. The sauce and the chopped onions were great poured Uber rice. The staff was at a bare minimum with one gal working the front and another that occasionally appeared to bring food out, but the service was great. Very pleasant friendly gal that helped us. It appeared they were still working on the interior as I noticed tools lying around. The TV played Burmese music videos, which gave it that extra bit of exotic vibe. There are still some items I want to try on their menu, and will be back. Too bad some of their specials posted outside weren't translated to English because we can be adventurous and ordered those. I recommend Shwe Taung for something different than the ubiquitous foods that's found all over the SGV. Great service, easy parking and no wait.

Khao soi tote $11.99

This is a Burmese place that opened not long ago! It's under new management and does not have Japanese food anymore (they did before). I was able to share a bunch of dishes amongst ten adults. Here is what we ordered (to the best of my memory): -mutton biryani $17.99 - so good!! Get this!! -khao soi tote $11.99 - This was very good. We may have gotten two orders of this. -royal tea leaf salad $13.99 - This was my personal favorite. I absolutely love all the flavors and textures. I would get this again and again. -fish cake salad $12.99 - This was popular in the group, but I enjoyed the tea leaf salad more. -fried tofu - eh, I could skip this. -noodle with pork (I don't know the name, but the meat balls were tasty) The server dude was real kind. We were the only group at the time, so he gave us a lot of attention. He spoke Burmese with one of the members in our group. He gave us free ice cream and let us pick the flavors!

Briyani mutton
Steven T.

Staff is nice They have a good selection of dishes. We enjoyed the briyani and noodles Sushi is honestly surprising to find at a Burmese restaurant but we tried the blood orange roll and it was good We would try it again

Soup

I had my very first visit at Shwe Taung last weekend on April 6th. Going into the restaurant, I loved the family ran vibe it gave off--immediately leading me to think that the food was going to be amazing. The server greeted us as soon as we walked through the door. He gave us great recommendations for drinks and for food and even let us in on a little secret that the beef was just made. So of course we decided to take his recommendation. We got the Beef Fried Rice which came with a little cup of soup. Flavors exploded in my mouth with each bite. Such tender beef with a kick of spice. Definitely a 10/10. Coming to Shwe Taung was a great idea.

Complementary soup for Beef Biryani
Paul J.

Visited on 04/06/2025 Overall Experience: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 TLDR: Great service, great food Breakdown: Ordered the Beef biryani as recommended by our server because it was a fresh batch that was just made. The beef was very tender and there was a great balance of flavors. The dark red side on the plate was a little too spicy for my taste but tasted great nonetheless. Soup was a great compliment to the biryani. The server answered all our inquiries about the dishes on the menu as it was our first time having Burmese cuisine. His recommendation was on point as well. The interior is spacious and very clean. Will definitely visit again. Hopefully they have Kulfi in stock when I do visit again.

Tea Leaf Salad
Alex C.

Great service Great Food Definitely will visit again.. One of the best Royal Tea leaf salad and Mohinga

Everything tasted amazing!!! The owner was super nice as well, good service, definitely coming back. The fish was fresh :)

Everything came out so good! Fresh fish and the owner was super nice and helpful with choosing our rolls. Definitely will be coming back here for affordable 5 star sushi ;) Great service

Samosa. Very refreshing. Highly recommend it for the summer
Khaing Z W.

New owner and new menu it seems. Clean tidy, well maintained place with indoors and outdoors tables. Located southwest corner of Santa Anita and St. Joseph St. Food description - see pic They should have a big sign on Santa Anita side

Prata with Curry
Joyce J.

The menu seemed eclectic with dishes from several Asian cultures-- many Japanese dishes, Indian prata & curry, and even Burmese mohinga soup. The boss said that the menu is comprised of dishes that they eat at home. I had the sashimi salad ($15). It wasn't huge but a good size with a minty dressing (on the side) and three types of sashimi. Quite tasty. Steady flow of customers eating in and taking out. About 6-7 tables for 4 pax each. Simply decorated, but something seemed to be missing. There was a sign at the entrance that the store would be under new management as of March 1, 2024. So there may be changes in the works.

Really fantastic new family owned spot - excellent service, lovely owners, great vibes, fresh sushi and sashimi, and unique Burmese dishes to try!! We had a great first experience. We had a quiet late lunch - ordered a few things off their rotating specials menu - the Baked Salmon Roll and the Paratha. We also got a Salmon Sashimi Bowl and their unique Mohinga to share. Everything was fresh and homemade and delicious! The Baked Salmon roll has crab, avocado, and cream cheese in with baked salmon and sauces out and it was fabulous! The Paratha was my fave dish we tried - it's an Indian flatbread that comes with a potato curry and it's SO flavorful and smooth - I loved the flavor combo and especially loved the texture of the flatbread. I'll definitely be back for more of this! The Salmon Sashimi Bowl comes with rice, sliced avocado and a salad with nice ginger type dressing. Everything is so fresh and good quality! Their signature dish is a Burmese Mohinga which is a type of fish soup with catfish, egg, vermicelli noodle and topped with a fish cake. It was my first time trying this dish and the owner did warn me that it's got a strong fish sauce in it - and it does but it's good. The texture is nice as well - I definitely think it's an acquired taste but it's good if you like a moderate fish sauce type flavor and the catfish was good too. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. Their patio seating is super nice and shaded. There are a small number of parking spaces out front and lots of street parking around as well. Great location right in Arcadia off a Main Street. We had a nice chat with the owners who just moved here from Burma - super nice family!! We loved meeting them and had a great first visit! No doubt we'll be back!

Tofu Salad

A hidden gem if you love south east asian food. Great place for authentic Burmese food. The tofu salad is amazing and the mohinga noodle was delicious as well.

Super yummy and smells so good! Homemade soup with cat fish and egg and chick pea!
Susan S.

Burmese soup super fragrant and delicious Unique menu your typical wonderful whole in the wall restaurant owned by family not big box chain restyling is nice. Great lunch spot.

Spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura hand roll
Athena P.

Rating: 3.5 stars Quaint family owned restaurant, newly opened Both outdoor and indoor seating available They have bowls, wraps, sushi, and other quick meal options We got the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls. The spicy tuna was bland. The salmon sushi and tofu bowls were pretty good. I felt very full after the meal. They have their own parking space for a few spots. Cons: food takes a long time to be prepared (understandable since it's a small family owned joint) and no AC when we went Overall worth a try

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.

The chicken noodle salad was delicious!…read more The chicken was tender, the noodles were perfectly seasoned, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. Very refreshing and flavorful. I would definitely order it again!

Truly restrained myself. Then came the mango sticky rice... and listen, I should've taken a picture because it came out looking like it was ready for a magazine cover. The purple rice they used? Gorgeous. And honestly, I liked it way more than the usual white sticky rice. It felt fancy! On top of all that, the waiter/waitress who helped us was genuinely one of the sweetest and most attentive people I've met in a long time. Their kindness made the whole experience even better. Overall, Green Leaf Thai did not miss. Amazing food, amazing service--I'll be recommending this place to family and friends for sure.
