The food was amazing! We ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, Dry Chicken Curry, Black Pepper Tofu and Nan-Gyi-Dok. My favorite was the Nan-Gyi-Dok, this was the first time I have had it. I loved the noodles on this dish. The restaurant is small and nicely decorated. It was very clean. And the service was top notch. We placed an online order and within 10 minutes it was done! I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely love this place! Consistently top quality and delicious! No skimping on portions here! Everything made with lots of L O V E! So good makes you wonder if you accidentally hoped on a plane and landed in Burma! But seriously no joke, this is on par if not better than any Burmese Food I have ever had. The family that runs this place is not only kind but delightful. Feels like a trip to my aunt and uncles house. Recommended - everything! Especially the- tea leaf salad- coconut rice- pumpkin curry with chicken and all the curry dishes. Just can't go wrong. - samosa

I met a friend for lunch at Burma Light this week and it was as good as I expected! The place is beautiful, very clean with nice decor and a modern look. The menu is extensive- there are lots of vegan/vegetarian as well as chicken, shrimp etc. The lunch menu is a bit cheaper, the entrees come with salad and jasmine rice. I had the basil chili chicken and it was great! Spicy and tender. I really loved the salad.My friend had the pumpkin curry and they made it without sugar at her request. Our meals came out fast and we devoured them - so good.This was my first time having Burmese food, from my experience it seemed closest to Thai cuisine but was unique for sure.Would love to come back and try more dishes!

This is my first time trying Burmese food. I've actually never knew we had a Burmese restaurant in the area. Burmese is a fusion of Chinese, Thai, and Indian. We ordered many different dishes to try. We had a group of 7 and of course we did family style. We can try a lot of their different dishes. Which was nice. All the of the food was amazing. I really like the green beans dish. It tasted very fresh, crisp, and had a good flavor to them. The eggplant dish was ok. I'll eat eggplant, but it's not my favorite. We liked the nan. It was hot and fresh. We ordered the Lamb Curry, but I don't eat lamb. I did not try that. The others at the table did like it. The Salt and Pepper Calamari was very good. I would definitely order that again. We tried the coconut dessert, that was ok, not bad. Overall, I would come again. Everything was pretty good.

After driving past this place so many times and saying, we really need to try this out... we finally did today. We were NOT disappointed! The food was AMAZING. Curtis our waiter was so kind and helpful in helping us decide. We let him know this was our fist try with Burmese cusine, and he let us know such good information describing the flavors that we should expect. We had the Dry Chicken Curry, and the Spicy Wok Noodles, both a blast. Amazing fresh flavor. If you're on this side of town you need to check out this cozy and wonderful spot. The staff were all hospitable and smiling. The place was packed! Clean restaurant and seeing that I was struggling with the spice a bit, Curtis offered me their Burmese iced tea, which was also great. For desert we got the Sticky Rice, and it wasn't too sweet but just right. Make this a must try next time you want to explore a new set of flavors! We will be back!

We ordered mild Burmese lamb curry with rice and garlic noodles with shrimp. We went there on Saturday at noon, and the staff was able to get us a seat very quickly. The lamb was delicious and easy to chew. I was able to request less seasoning for the noodles. The shrimps were fresh. The staff was thoughtful enough to stop by to refill the water and give us some extra jasmine rice. My boy enjoyed his meal. The plaza has plenty of parking here.

My dad is from Burma and he loved that there was a restaurant like this in the area. Everything was delicious and fresh. Good variety of menu items, and a lot of fusion dishes (Thai, Chinese, Indonesian style) as well. The owner stopped by people's tables and we felt taken care of! My overall rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars.* Tea leaf salad - one of my favorites! Light, crispy, fresh, with a nice balance of crunchy textures. The tea flavor wasn't as prominent as other burmese restaurant tea leaf salads that I've tried, but I still really liked it.* Palatha with chicken coconut curry - the palatha was buttery and warm, and paired excellently with the curry. The curry flavor was rich and chicken was very tender. Would order this again.* Basil & Chili Lamb - the ladies at the table next to us asked what we ordered because it looked so good! We shared some with them and the first thing they noticed was how tender the lamb was. Similar to Chinese stir-fried lamb dishes and full of flavor. Recommend ordering jasmine rice to eat it with.* Nan Gyi Dok - my least favorite of everything; I think the noodle texture after absorbing the curry sauce was a bit too creamy for my liking. However my dad enjoyed it and said it's pretty authentic. Plenty of parking and tables inside. The restaurant had a steady flow of customers and their high rating is well-deserved. I don't live in the area, but my parents were already thinking of friends to bring here!

Very good food! Everything I've tried there has been delicious. I especially love their sticky rice with mango ice cream and tea leaf salad. Minted jalapeño chicken is one of our favorites. So good! The customer service is also nice, everyone is very friendly. Ambience is great and not very loud.
