Cheap, but not exceptional
by wisebrain
Maybe I don't like Burmese food, but I wasn't too impressed with the food. It lacked flavor compared to other Southeast Asian food. However, the prices are pretty reasonable and service is fast.
- Pros: Fast Service
- Cons: Bland

Good enough

I have had better Burmese but regularly return to this East Village option. The price is good, especially considering the location, the menu has your usual SE Asian options, and the vegetarian dishes go over big with some of my yoga friends. The food is fine. Of all the options, I enjoyed the squid salad the first time I got it but not the second time. Always, however, I love the green tea salad. Some of the tofu dishes are consistently good, too, as are also the ones with the mango relish.
- Pros: good prices&location, vegetarian friendly, friendly staff
- Cons: decent (not amazing), food but that's not, much of a con!

Some of the most generous portions - especially the lunch specials - I've found in New York, quick service, and consistently *pretty* good. That $2 side of coconut rice is a welcome addition to any meal; I also like the banana dessert. It's cheap and filling food, but it's often greasy (at least some of the noodle dishes and the thousand-layer pancake) and it doesn't always taste fresh. My Rangoon Night Noodles were covered with garlic that was unappetizingly burnt. I don't know if this is a clash of cultural palettes, or if it was poorly prepared, but I ended up flicking a lot of them away.
- Pros: generous portions, inexpensive
- Cons: greasy, burnt/overcooked?
