Tony Stone
A very unique restaurant. Love Asian cuisine but hadn’t experienced Burmese cooking. Greeted at door and promptly seated. Server Lum N. was very attentive and answered questions about menu items. Even suggested the proper way to my wife on how to eat the shrimp curry.

Outstanding food and experience! Our server Lum N was amazing and gave great recommendations. We ordered “family style” and shared all the dishes. Samosa’s (had them vegetarian), Fried Tofu (so amazing with the Tamarind sauce), Ohn No Khao Swe (Coconut Chicken Noodle), Khauk Swe Jaw (Fried Wheat Noodles), Ah Thoke Sone (Rainbow Salad), and a Ginger Salad. The Ginger Salad was not on the menu, but was something we really wanted. It so happened that the cook in the back knew how to make us one! My favorite? The Rainbow Salad hands down.

We had a large variety of appetizers and dishes at MinGaLaBar. All were very fresh. All tasted great and were of good quality ingredients. It was quiet and a nice dinner. Service was not intrusive. We will go back. Food is not heavily salted here. This is NOT Chinese cooking. Burmese dishes are traditionally mild.

My first time here and was delighted by the service and food. I had the Laphat Thoke (aka tea leaf salad) and the textures were exquisite. Very mild flavoring and delicious. My friend had the Rainbow Salad and loved it. Attentive but non-intrusive service, clean restaurant. I will be back!

Love this place. Have been here multiple times and I have raved about the food every single time.

Charlotte Richards
Delicious food both of the times that I’ve been! This time our table of 4 had the fried tofu and fried gourds for appetizers, and then we each got an entree and split the papaya salad. It was so much food – more than plenty for the table. I will definitely get the fried Vermicelli Noodles when I’m back next!

Jeffrey Terry
Such yummy food and such nice people. Oh – and compared to many of the other restaurant options in the area – the value is good as well. The rainbow salad (#27) is our favorite dish – but also worth trying are the fried tofu (#12) and the Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup (#6)

Prem Chandrasekaran
It was totally an unique experience, staffs and owners were very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The restaurant was opened just couple of months back and it was very clean. On top of that the food was unique and delicious! Almost all dishes were totally new and I have never had similar dishes anywhere else. They even have regular asian dishes like fried rice and noodles with a fully stacked bar! I highly recommend to try this place.

The food here is truly great with many options. Portions are large and you can tell the ingredients are top notch. Service is also great and quiet music makes this a great place for dates or lunch conversations.
