Little Myanmar

Husband and wife Thidar Kyaw and Tin Ko Naing along with their daughter, Yun Naing, run this tiny spot with just 14 seats in the East Village. Despite its size, the hospitality is warm and the menu is surprisingly large. Here, Burmese cuisine takes center stage, and there is everything from soup and athokes, or salads, as well as hearty dishes including paratha chicken and curries. Kick off the meal with a delightfully crunchy Burmese pancake filled with vegetables and toasted sesame seeds. For a classic dish, order the fermented tea leaf salad, a vibrant blend of textures and flavors. From there, dig into a soup or noodles, all the while remembering that the flavors are bold and portion sizes are perfect for sharing.
