Shan Noodle
Jonnie N.

Yoma Myanmar is a true gem. This cozy mom-and-pop spot has such a warm, homey feel, and the owners are incredibly sweet and welcoming--you can really feel the love they put into the place and the food. The Beef Curry is deeply savory and aromatic, with tender beef that's perfectly seasoned and comforting in all the right ways. The Shan Dry Noodle absolutely shines--think Dan Dan noodle vibes, but with its own distinct personality. It's nutty from the peanut and sesame, wonderfully flavorful yet clean, and the sauerkraut adds a bright tang that cuts through the richness of the stewed pork belly beautifully. Authentic, soulful, and made with heart. This is the kind of spot you're excited to come back to again and again. Highly recommend.

7 5. Stir Fried Chayote and egg and curry
Jean L.

Yoma Myanmar is better than I remembered from my previous visit of almost a decade ago. My visit took place over the weekend and wowsers, I'm already looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the area. Our group of 3 ordered a tea leaf salad, chicken curry, chayote & eggs (veggie dish), and special shan noodles offered on weekends. Everything tasted as if someone's family member was cooking in the kitchen. All the dishes were flavorful and not greasy. We ate everything and left super stuffed. I was even full the next morning. Prices are reasonable, especially during these challenging economic times. Decor is still the same, inside and outside. Still a husband and wife duo. The sweet lady still chats it up with each table by asking how things went and if there are any questions. Dreaming about what entrees to try next... #16/2025

Lunch special
Sarah P.

Went on a weekend for lunch. It's a pretty small restaurant and it got really packed after we came in. Ordered the lunch special. It's $14.99 with 2 mains and salad or soup. Apparently on weekends it's an extra $2 tacked on. The server was very sweet but I do have to say was very disorganized. We did get our correct order though. I ordered chicken curry, beef curry and tea leaf salad. My favorite dishes that I got to try was the papaya salad and tea leaf salad. The flavors were delicious and veggies seemed fresh. The beef in the curry was a bit dry and overcooked, so I'd say I preferred the chicken over the beef. Overall, food was pretty good and they served complementary coconut jelly at the end too!

Menu 3/6/26

So happy to have found & tried this gem for the first time! It was the first time trying Burmese cuisine and I was so impressed. Apparently they've been around for decades & I can see why. This cozy mom & pop restaurant has a handful of tables & you're immediately treated like family. The owners are so sweet & friendly! We had a lot of questions about the menu & they were so happy to patiently explain everything! Parking: there's street parking available but there's also a small parking lot behind the restaurant Restroom: there's a single stall restroom available for customers Food: everything was so flavorful! Portions were generous & the prices were great! My favorite dish was the tea leaf salad. It was so fresh & had all the needed textures for someone like me who has texture sensitivity. Each bite was pleasantly crunchy & I can't wait to go back for some soon! Another notable mention (not pictured) is their Burmese tea! It's prepared hot & it's their version of milk tea. Highly recommend! Support your local businesses!

shan noodles, tea leaf salad
Crystal G.

Came here with my vegetarian mom based on other reviews mentioning good VG options. Food and service were AMAZING! The lady (owner?) was very friendly and attentive. She gave VG recommendations for my mom and even reassured us that they would omit the fish sauce. The restaurant is super cute and feels like I'm inside their home. Will definitely be coming back and introducing my friends to this place! Tea leaf salad (vegetarian): 4/5 Shan noodles (chicken): 5/5 Coconut jelly dessert: 5/5

extremely underrated spot. we were the only people there on a friday night. i would go many more times

42. Fish Paste with Tomato
Alvin L.

Be careful missing the sign, pirched behind a big ol' tree on Garvey! No frills and Great flavors for those seeking to explore Burmese food, and are looking outside the usual Chinese/Vietnamese places nearby. Ordered Mohinga, fish paste and tomato curry, and a side of tea lead salad. Service was awesome, as the owner took the time out of a slower Tuesday evening to educate us on the menu and gave us recommendations. She gave us mohinga (fish noodle soup) deconstructed so that we can share. The flavors of their tea leaf salad was on point and balances between sweet, savory, and sour with nice crunch. The fish paste and tomato curry was flavorful, and not for the faint of heart. If you like Vietnamese mam rouc or Filipino bagoong, then you'll be interested in this. Would recommend ample amount of rice as it's needed with the saltier curry. Ended the meal with a cooling jello dessert!

I've seen this restaurant and have passed by for many years. I finally decided to stop in. Definitely mom and pop, and that's the best part. I'd never had Burmese food before, so I was plenty excited. It's similar to Cambodian, Thai, Malaysian. Strong spices and flavors. If you like Southeast Asian and South Asian foods, you'll definitely enjoy it. I got the rice as the owner recommended. Tasty and such a huge portion, I took half of it home to enjoy the next day. She was so busy and doing the work of several people. This family deserves support from the community.

Fried Beef

Couldn't be happier with my experience here. Joan and her restaurant make you feel like you're in their home. My best friend growing up was Burmese - Yoma made me feel like a kid again having a home cooked Burmese meal. Every dollar feels well spent here. Fried Beef reminded me of Chicarrones. Dangerously flavorful- like fresh fried beef crisps. The Thick Noodles were delicious - if you are a fan of pad Thai , definitely recommend. Best to me was fried shrimp curry. I love spicy- this had an incredible umami + spicy flavor. The shrimp have the shells on it , and the way it's cooked - you eat the shells and it makes for a great "crunch". Wildly savory, unique dish that I will have to come back for. So happy to support this business. There aren't a ton of tables so it feels cozy. The service is good! Food came out fast and Joan will give great recommendations if you ask. I will absolutely be back here whenever I'm in the Baldwin park area - even if it's just grabbing a fried shrimp curry for the road :)

Small mom and pop shop that literally looks like someone's living room/kitchen. There is no parking lot available so only street parking. We ordered Shan noodle recommended by the nice lady owner. I asked her to not add peanuts in there as the dish comes w peanuts but unfortunately they forgot. She was apologetic and so nice about it. Then we also go the beef curry and curry fish both had the same sauce which had a little bit of spice but not too overwhelming. Perfect! They were so nice and talked to almost every customer. The people next to us travelled 30 mins just to eat here! She even gave us complimentary coconut jelly dessert to end our meal.

Tea leaf salad
Bin X.

We really enjoyed the chicken and potato curry, shan noodles, and goat curry. The dishes were all flavorful and huge portions. We had plenty of left overs for another meal at home. The owners are very kind and generous. Highly recommended it!

Fried yellow tofu
Khaing Z W.

The beef curry is really good. Highly recommend it with naan . Watercress ongchoy chinyayhin is very refreshing but a bit spicy. Fried tofu makes a good appetizer and soft tofu mix is really good

coconut jelly
Grace M.

4.5! first time trying burhmese/myanmar food! really liked it. a lot of the items was a good blend and similar to indian food which i loved. i tried traditional burmese dishes like shan noodles and shan hkat - both of which were very good! my favorite was their yoma danpauk - their chicken biryani. im in LOVE with this rice, one of the tastiest rice ive tried ever. chicken was cooked and spiced so good too. their samosas were simpler than the ones im used too but theyre also very good. their burmese tea reminded me of thai tea and their thai tea was pretty strong and had tea grounds still in but i actually really liked the taste of it. the owners were so nice they even gave us a complimentary dessert of coconut jelly. loved this place! it did take long for some of our food to come out though. i think there might be only one person cooking since the orders came out one by one. very nice local spot!

31. Beef curry and 5. Fried Samusa.  Delicious.

It was my first time trying Korean dumplings. The lady (who was probably one of the owners) was…read morehelpful in explaining what was traditional (pork) versus not and suggested that I split my order half and half to try both the pork and beef. I really enjoyed the dumplings, which also came with a dipping sauce (similar to ponzu sauce). This spot is in a market hall with plenty seating and a parking lot (appreciate this a lot). If I'm in the area again, I'll be back!

I had a very good experience at Manduyo (San Gabriel). I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Dumplings ($8.50…read more- 6 Pieces). It came with a crisp shell and juicy filling. As I bit into each dumpling, juices dribbled down my lip. The filling tasted sweet & savory. YUM! I arrived at Manduyo (San Gabriel) on a Tuesday (around 6:54PM). Parking is very easy. The parking lot is very spacious and big. Staff interaction is minimum. Customers primarily order at the self-service kiosk. Customers can input their cell number or wait for Staff to call out their receipt's number. I really appreciated how the self-service kiosk with print out paper receipts. My food took about seven minutes. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Beef Bulgogi Dumplings ($8.50 - 6 Pieces). It was fried perfectly, and the filling was satisfying & plump. Its interior reminded me of a lightly sweetened bulgogi sausage. It was prepared well. On ambiance, there's plenty of clean tables and comfortable seating. It's located inside the well-managed Blossom Market Hall, so I felt safe and comfortable as I dined. Overall, Manduyo (San Gabriel) is a good option. I left happy and satisfied. 4.7 out of 5

Plenty of stalls. 2nd, there aren't many Mediterranean that comes fresh instead of like commercial fast food. I love that I walked in and they're still doing food prep in the back and yelling from the back I'll be right there. That's a strong Mom and Pop vibe kind of restaurant. The restaurant is clean and air conditioning was cold. So dine in was right on. I wanted to try everything on the menu, but landed in the 3 meat order. Which I chose filet mignon, lamb chops, and ribs. The 2nd plate was the beef lule and chicken lule. I wanted to try 5 meats to compare which one I liked. Lastly, I topped the order off with the feta fries. I had it once in the past from another restaurant and really liked the creamy feta, and red onion combo with the fries. Overall, it's a good restaurant if you need a Mediterranean fix.

I was very curious about this place after reading my Yelp buddy Kevin M.'s review, so my wife and I…read moredecided to visit this restaurant. Located in a busy neighborhood of El Monte, CA, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Limited parking is available behind the restaurant, and street parking is an option if you can find a space. Upon entering, I immediately noticed how clean, well-organized, and modern everything looked. The electronic menu board is clearly and prominently displayed as you walk in. The menu is quite extensive, with options including wraps, salads, bowls, breakfast items, smoothies, and meal-prepped dishes with chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, and much more. I was impressed by the variety of choices and portions. My wife ordered an Asian chicken salad and garlic edamame, while I had a house salad with chicken and shrimp, plus a strawberry-banana smoothie and (2) protein donuts. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The lettuce in our salads was crunchy and fresh, the chicken and shrimp were flavorful and well-seasoned, the garlic edamame was tasty and cooked perfectly, and my banana and strawberry smoothie--let's just say I wish I had another one right now, as I loved it! If I may make a small suggestion: please chop the lettuce into smaller pieces, as the lettuce on both our plates contained large pieces that we had to cut ourselves. Despite this minor item, it was a positive dining experience, and we definitely plan to return soon to try other items on the menu.

Came by for lunch. Street parking was available. This place is very clean. There was a line, but…read morethe line moved quickly. I ordered sesame chicken with sweet potato. The chicken was pretty dry, and the sweet potato has a lot of root in it. The food gave me a very "healthy" feeling that it was not oily. They also do meal prep, which is good for people who are too busy to cook. A lot of options are available.
