Yoma Burmese - Crossing

A great place to try Burmese good food. All their dishes are authentic and delicious..

The food was delicious, and it was my first time trying Burmese cuisine. However, the portion size for takeout was disappointing. The container was smaller than the size of my hand and not enough to satisfy an adult’s appetite.

You’ve probably never said, “Let’s get Burmese!” Yoma is testament to why. I had a small portion (half of what I typically eat) of cheap udon noodles in a flavorless sauce with a couple scraps of chicken and minimal toppings, for about twice what I’d think is a fair price. I got Mandalay Chicken Noodle for $14.25. I tried my friend’s “traditional” Pickled Tea Salad appetizer for $12.85, and it tasted and was textured like a basic salad from Subway. It also was a tiny portion for an entree price. The waiter was nice besides never refilling water, and the atmosphere was cute enough for a casual place. They also have a little Burmese market shelf in the middle of the restaurant.

I decided to try this Burmese restaurant bcuz the reviews spoke quite highly of it. So I chose the Pickled Tea Salad went with the vegetarian Rainbow Noodles and not the “chicken” bcuz of a “gut feeling” that it was NOT Halal, ..but I could be wrong. (Do your own due diligence please! The Pickled Tea Salad was really good! A new pleasant taste with lots of fresh veggies. The crunchy peanuts in the mix was perfect. The Rainbow Noodles, look so colourful, especially inviting, and a mix of 3 different noodles and fresh vegetables, also with crunchy peanuts a mild punch of spice. I was instructed to mix well first before you eat. It’s a new flavour, interesting, and definitely had Thai vibes.. and quite filling! I enjoyed it but I’m not sure I’d actually come back to try again. If you’re looking for a new place to try, then definitely go! Vegetarians will enjoy the selections. But it was a meh mediocre food experience for me.

Best food in boston. Loved the pickled tea salad and rainbow noodles!
