A fantastic Burmese restaurant in Silver Spring! I recently went here with three friends for a weekend lunch and we were able to get a table immediately. Mandalay has great portion sizes, affordable prices, and great service. Additionally, there are lots of vegetarian and vegan options.I started with the KyarZan Hingar soup, which was spicy, flavorful, and very filling. I especially liked the noodles and the fish cake. I shared the Let Phet Thoke (Green Tea Leaf Salad) and the Nyat KaukSwe Gyaw (noodles with tofu). Both were great, especially the noodles. I would highly recommend Mandalay!

For Sunday lunch, 2 friends and I decided to get Mandalay, since I don't often get the opportunity for Burmese cuisine. Just before noon, my party was the first to arrive and received seating immediately. A few minutes after, regulars started filing in, complete with custom greetings by the owner asking about travel plans friends, etc.I ordered the SF02 Catfish ChoVhin Gyaw ($21.99), a seafood entree consisting of catfish fried and sauteed with green peppers, onion, and tomato in a light brown sauce. This came with a bowl of rice and arrived w/in 10 minutes.The sauce ended up on the sweeter side of savory-sweet-fragrant in the way that pasta sauce might seem sweeter that just pureed tomatoes and paste. The catfish had nary a hint of fishiness and held a firm, though not hard, texture.

So happy Mandalay did not permanently shut down. Wonderful Burmese food. The green tea leaf salad is a must, and large enough for two people. My husband always gets the tofu and tomato hin (V2) with a medium spice level (which is quite hot, so be warned). I tried the nanjee gyaw (N5) noodle dish with pork, which was huge (had to take half home). Loved the thick sauce and soft noodles. The interior has changed quite a bit; the booths are gone and there are fewer tables, more spaced out. Only half the restaurant is used for seating, but it filled up pretty quickly after noon on a Sunday. Only open for dine-in for lunch, no longer dinner. That's OK. I'll take Mandalay however we can; just happy they're still around.

Must tryPork Belly Hin : Outstanding dish in Mandalay restaurant. 10 out of 10$24.99 = worthwhile every dollar. Giant pork belly pieces simmer in onions curry sauce. So delicious : Tender belly : ratio fat & meat perfect. Curry flavor tasted savory &nicely. This is the Heaven of Belly lover. Service is fine - inside restaurants is quite simple.Only location is a cons. Environment seem frustrated. (downtown Silver Spring, MD) There is construction around the area for a long time, also limit parking. Please be prepared about it if you want to dining.

Arrived a little after 11:30am on the Friday after Thanksgiving. There were some parking spaces in front of the restaurant two hours free it looked from 9 AM to 10 PM per the sign. They were open, even though the open sign wasn't turned on. Hole in the wall restaurant. Only one table was filled and left when I got there. No other people came in during the time I was there, other than to pick up to-go orders.I ordered the beef with onion and tomato curry, tea leaf salad, and the shweji dessert. All of the dishes were very good, and I would order all of them again. The beef curry didn't have complex flavors, but it was just so comforting and savory. I wished there was more sauce that came with it to soak up the white rice. The waiter asked me what level of spiciness I wanted-I asked for it to not be spicy since I was feeding some of it to my toddler. They were able to give me a dried red pepper spice mix on the side for myself.The beef curry dish and tea leaf salad were enough for at least two people to share. I'm so glad I did not skip out on the dessert. I got it to go and ate it at home. It was still warm, which made it taste even better. I had no problem eating the whole thing by myself since it was small and decadent. It was dense and sweet with a coconut flavor and crunchy white poppy seeds on top. Service was okay. Had to call the guy to come back and take the rest of my order. Otherwise, he was nice to my toddler. High chairs are available and a baby changing table is in the restroom.

The food here is stellar. I love spicy food, and they offer food that is actually spicy. Not American levels of spice. Actually spicy. Of course you can also get it not spicy, as they offer a sliding scale of spice levels. Every dish I've gotten here has been very delicious. They've got many delicious vegetarian options. Portions are large. Staff are friendly and food comes out quick. There is minimal indoor seating and the vibe is bare, so I mostly order takeout.

I came here many years ago and it was fine but then I stopped coming.Tonight I again went with two friends and had the best experience. The food was amazing, the people so attentive and helpful, the whole thing made me want to return.And the most curious thing was when I left a good tip I was told that since they had pressed the wrong button on their computer they would not be charging me for my tip! I reiterated that I really wanted to leave a tip and the woman said, No problem. We just aren't going to accept it.I have never had that experience before.At this point, the only way to get to the restaurant by car is either to go North on Georgia and turn on Bonifant toward the place or park a few blocks away and walk. This is because of construction that is blocking half the street.I sure hope they survive because very few other patrons were there tonight.
