    Ate here today while attending the Peddlers Fair. There were 3 of us and we all agreed the food was good, as was the service. I had the Chicken Salad and Salt & Pepper Calamari. One of the few times I've had a server ask about allergies. Very impressed since I have multiple food allergies. My companions had Garlic Noodles and the Tea Leaf Salad with Shrimp. They both enjoyed their meals. I will definitely return!!

    How. How is this restaurant 1) so consistently delicious 2) so kind and personable with their customers? Palatha with lamb curry? AMAZING. Coconut swai? DA BOMB. Minted chicken? ABSURD. Samosas? GIMME. Like even the friggen samosa soup is amazing. Bottom line: this is some of the best food I've ever had and I'm gonna miss the hell outta this place when we move. Enjoy it, they're world-class in every way.

    Literally the best restaurant I'm Benicia. My wife and I have tried just about everything on the menu and it's all amazing. Do you realize how rare it is for a restaurant to not have even one mediocre dish? This place is a treasure.

    we discovered this place when they just opened. They extended their locations in downtown. However this one is closer to my home makes perfect choice for quick dinner plans. I love their golden noodle salads, samosas and fried rice which my toddlers love.

    Terrible place. Not reliable. Cancelled my order after having accepted it and notified me very late. Screwed my entire day. Called them and took zero responsibility. Avoid. Much better and more reliable options next door

  • 5/5 Geoffrey Van P. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is clean, the staff are friendly, the food is amazing good. I had the coconut chicken noodle soup (serves four) and the green tea salad. Other customers at nearby tables I talked to enjoyed what they ate vet much. Burmese food tastes like it has multiple Asian flavor influences, such as Thai, Indian and a few others, with delightful results.

    I have been meaning to check this place out for so long, but only dined here for my first time about a week ago. My bf and I dined inside for lunch and received outstanding service throughout our meal. It was a million degrees outside, and even though it was nice and cool indoors, we were downing ice teas like it was a competition to see if the waitress could keep up; and she did! She also recommended several items and specials and we ended up starting with a spicy wing appetizer and a hot salt and pepper shrimp plate too. They were both good, though I was hoping they'd both be spicier! But I have a high heat tolerance. The fermented tea leaf salad was outstanding and I'd probably return for that by itself. Honey walnut prawns, garlic string beans, and coconut rice finished off all the spare room we had on the table. We skipped dessert, but only because they were out of whatever it was we had decided to order: a coconut pudding or something...sounded great, but probably for the best! We left full, and with lots of delicious leftovers. Can't wait to go back and try new things.

  • 5/5 Anna S. 3 years ago on Google
    OMG the food is amazing! Everything I've eaten from this place so far has been unbelievably delicious. My new favorite restaurant in the area.

  • 5/5 Brendan M. 5 years ago on Google
    Cool little spot with delicious food. Definitely worth checking out.

  • 5/5 Stephanie N. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything Iโ€™ve eaten there is very good but the Tea Leaf Salad is far and away my favorite! One of the yummiest things ever! You can order it with cabbage instead of lettuce which I like best plus if you take home leftovers itโ€™s still crunchy later on instead of wilting like lettuce.

  • 5/5 Alex C. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the best restaurant Iโ€™ve tried in Benicia. Unlike many places in town, they keep it real. That is, they havenโ€™t dumbed down the cuisine for old, white people.

  • 5/5 John W H. 3 years ago on Google
    Everything that we ordered was perfect. We did the family meal, 1 drink, 1 salad or soup, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 sides for ~$50. There wasn't a flavor or cooking variation that we could think of to make the items better. The Ginger Lemonade was delicious and came in a cute mason jar. I was a bit skeptical on the Tea Leaf Salad but there were just soo many textures and flavors that each bite was a little different from the last and it tasted great! (we opted to get the lettuce / cabbage combo which helped with the different bites). Coming from New York and trying many, many different chicken wings, I was hopeful that these Burmese Chicken wings would be good, but kept an open mind because we haven't had good wings in California. These were, hands down, the best wings we have had in California. The only tip I have for these are, if you are ordering for take away, as soon as you get back to your vehicle, open up the container for these wings so they can remain crispy. These wings were properly cooked and the seasoning on them was great. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was great! The shrimps were pretty big and they paired amazingly with the walnuts. The other entree we got was the Chicken Biryani. The dish was pretty good when I tried a bite of chicken and some of the salad. The dish became a lot better when I actually got a good bite of everything and the sauce. The coconut rice and the biryani rice were both very flavorful. We enjoyed everything we ordered and have a lot of leftovers and are excited to have them for lunch tomorrow. We'll definitely be trying more stuff not on the family meal selection and are excited to tell our friends about this place!!

    Small unassuming restaurant. Ordered multiple dishes but the MayLika with Lemongrass with pork was the better choice. Entrees do not come with rice so you have to order separately.

  • 5/5 Glenn W. 3 years ago on Google
