Urban Burma

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the Mango House community center serves wonderful food. I spent weeks traveling through Myanmar in 2012 and 2013; Urban Burma brought back memories of the exotic flavors of Mandalay, Yangon and Bagan. Brothers Siri and Martin who own and operate UB are passionate about sharing their culture through food, and it shows in every dish they prepare.We inhaled the tea leaf salad, the Golden Triangle tofu salad--the tofu's housemade--and a delicious beef curry. We can't wait to return!

Urban Burma is located in the food court of an international mall off of Colfax while the other side has retail shops. The area is a bit questionable but this type of environment was part of my childhood so it was actually nostalgic for a small part.I found a singular dish to rule all the flavors! We came with a small group last night to Urban Burma. Wasn't expecting much and I generally don't look at reviews...maybe sometimes. We were kindly greeted by a gentleman at the front counter and he was already hustling. After a minute he returned and still had a smile and wonderful aura about him.I ordered a Sii Cheh Kao Sweh which consisted of flat thinner noodles with garlic, sesame oil, spring onions and pork for my protein. My entree also came with a soup but wasn't too big of a fan of the soup as it was on the salty side. The Sii Cheh Kao Sweh was AMAZING and I'm already looking forward to my leftovers for lunch.A+ on experience and everything else. If they ever open an actual restaurant I'll be there and I'm sure it will be packed every night. Already looking forward to my return trip!

This spot has been on the list and I was nearby for work so decided to go! Parking was easy on the street and it was easy to find. This is in an open market with other shops and restaurants.Service was so friendly and the owner gave great recommendations since this was my first time trying Burmese food! Just like everyone says- the tea leaf salad is bomb- flavorful, and nutty like nothing I've had before. I got the sampler so I could try everything and I also got the noodles with crispy pork. Everything was delish, however, some pieces of pork could have been more tender and I bet the marinated pork would have been the way to go! I also got the tea which was such a nice contrast in flavor to all of the dishes. The ambiance was comfy and service was fast!

Wow... words can not describe how incredible this was. My biggest complaint about Denver after moving here in the past year is how bland & boring so many if the restaurants area are - NOT Urban Burma! I went with a group of friends who are all foodies, and every dish we had was incredible. Also, all of the menu can be made vegetarian and there are lots of gluten free dishes for Celiacs like myself. The owner, Siri, was an awesome guy and answered all of our questions.The restaurant itself is part of a food court in Mango House, a community that provides resources for refugees in the area. All the restaurants in the center look pretty fabulous. I'll be coming back!Thanks, Siri, for making such excellent food.

I got the ono kao sweh to-go, I found the protein portion a bit stingy. The dish was okay, not worth the price or particularly special. The restaurant is in a cultural center and I initially found it a bit hard to find but the staff member helped me find it! While it wasn't my cup of tea, if you want some comfort Burmese food, this may scratch that itch.

I love this place I will absolutely be back!The tea leaf salad is amazing. I highly recommend the noodles and the sampler plate. The fried tofu is made with chickpeas, and it is absolutely outstanding. I have no idea what they put in that sauce, but it is addicting. The beverage menu is equally as impressive and delicious. I can't wait to go back to this restaurant. It's located in a multicultural food court in Aurora. If you're looking for an amazing hole in the wall experience, you have to go here!

Urban Burma used to be a food truck but is now inside the Mango House International Food Hall, catering mainly towards refugees and immigrants around the Aurora area, but don't let that fool you.The food was really good and the banana paratha was the cherry on top. Out of the other food vendors in the Mango House Food Hall, this is the far superior one

Located inside the food court of mango house, this Burmese food vendor is a definite must try if you're in the area. I had a bit of a hard time finding this place at first, being new to the area. I thought it was a stand alone building and didn't realize it was inside a separate place. There's plenty of parking in the back parking lot, and you just follow the signs for mango house to go inside. Mango house is a shared space for Asylees and refugees. There's different little shops inside including a medical practice and small grocers, along with lots of different food vendors in their food court. Burma house in particular specializes in Burmese food, which I've only had once or twice before. The staff were really friendly and efficient (we got our food in under 10-15 minutes) and they also seem to be from Burma. The food has a homemade vibe to it with no frills, and the flavors are bright and plentiful. I got the tea leaf salad -- super fresh and delicious -- along with the Nan gyi dok -- almost like a pad Thai with rice noodles, topped with a boiled egg and some crunchy garlic crisps (delicious and filling). Really loved my experience here and definitely will be back.

As others have stated this place is in the Mango House and parking can be a little tricky, but we figured it out okay. But definitely don't be discouraged because this place is amazing!Beautifully plated, good service and DELICIOUS food. I would strongly recommend, especially if you're in the area. Honestly, Aurora has a lot of great food, but this one is a stand out!

Was staying with a friend in the neighborhood and wanted to pick up some food for dinner. We found the restaurant through yelp and we decided just to try the top sellers listed of burmese fried rice with crispy pork, chicken curry, sii che kao sweh, and then some samosas. When we picked up the guy working was super nice, asked if we had been before, gave us a run down on how best to enjoy the dishes, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the food with hot chili flakes and utensils. It is now the next day and we are still talking about how good the food was and telling all of our coworkers they have to go try it. 400 reviews and 4.8 rating speaks for itself but wow I wish I could back again tonight. Thanks Urban Burma!
