This place is absolutely delicious! They have a variety of dishes that are all great for sharing. It is not crowded or hard to get a reservation at all. This charming spot combines cozy vibes with bold flavors that transport your taste buds straight to Myanmar. The ambiance is minimalist yet inviting, making it perfect for a casual dinner with friends or even a solo culinary adventure. They have a great cocktail menu as well Their tea leaf salad is recommended, but it has caffeine, something to keep in mind if you are sensitive!

A solid Burmese option, in a city where they are few and far between. I was lucky enough to come with a number of friends, which meant we got to sample a large portion of the menu, including a bunch of starters. We enjoyed the tea leaf salad (a Burmese staple), Burmese Disco Fries, Keema Paratha (delicious meaty samosa-things), Squash Tempura and more. And I'm glad, because in truth I liked the starters better than the bowl I got for a main. I agonized over the decision, and ultimately went with the Lemongrass Pork Meatballs "Wat Thar Lone Kyaw". I felt like I couldn't go wrong with Asian style pork meatballs, masala ketchup, stir fry cabbage, spicy onion slaw, grape tomatoes, cucumber, all over coconut rice, especially after I added an egg. A runny egg makes everything better. Unfortunately, while the bowl was flavorful, the meatballs were dense and lacked balance. The masala ketchup was too sweet, a little hot, and the overall effect was just not what I was hoping for. My egg was also overcooked and not runny, which defeated the purpose of adding it in the first place. However, our servers were very nice, and most of our party seemed pleased with their choices. I'd come back, but I'd avoid the meatballs next time. I'm also personally glad we're not calling this Myanmarese food. Because you may know it as Myanmar, but it'll always be Burma to me.

I'd say this was more in the 3.5 stars range, but rounding up as service was great and overall we were glad we came. It's not the best Burmese we've ever had, but it was acceptable. We started with the mango shrimp salad which was nicely seasoned and a great start to the meal. I had the coconut chicken noodle soup for my main which was also very good. My husband (whose family is from Burma) ordered the mohinga which was disappointingly very bland. Typically mohinga needs to have some tweaking at the table to suit individual tastes, but this one needed A LOT of extra tweaking. For dessert we had the coconut tapioca. I think with the flavors being so new for me I didn't really love it? I was expecting it to be cold and it was room temperature. The coconut was also fresh and unsweetened so it tasted a bit sour so it was just an odd combination for me. Overall though we would come back the next time we're in New York to try other items on their menu.

We were pleasantly surprised by our meals here. The service was attentive, but the seating areas felt a bit cramped. It also gets quite noisy if you sit at the back of the restaurant. We chose dishes based on the server's recommendations: the golden onion fritter, Burmese lamb curry, and garlic noodles. Our favorite was the lamb curry, followed closely by the garlic noodles. I would recommend skipping the onion fritter and opting for a salad instead; the fritters weren't crunchy and didn't taste like a fresh batch. The garlic noodles were enjoyable, but nothing exceptional. The cocktails were both tasty and innovative; I particularly recommend the Lane Maw. There is Happy Hour on weekends ($6 beer, $9 wine, and $12 signature cocktails) - which we hope to take advantage of in the future!

Okay so, first night of being in Manhattan I thought to myself. I would love some Burmese food and especially the coconut rice that is served with curries. So I found Rangoon as a recommendation and decided to try it out. Love the location, small, super cute though. Plants are gorgeous there. We were quite early for dinner time so there was only two other tables with customers. Didn't need a reservation for that time which was great since I forgot to make one hehe. We ordered the infamous green tea leaf salad. I got the chicken curry and my sister the seafood curry. I made sure to mention my love for Burmese coconut rice to the waiter and did not stop raving about it to my sister. The green tea leaf salad honestly was delicious, this was my second time trying it and I have to hand it to Rangoon. Theirs is so much better than the one I tried in SF. As for the curry, it was good. But not my ultimate favorite if I am being honest. My sister's seafood curry was super salty and at the end she would not recommend :( But the main reason I am only giving four stars is because of the coconut rice! If you can call it that.... When they brought it a) it looked different b) it was super dry and c) it completely lacked coconut flavor..... I don't know what happened. Since it was so slow and we just flew in to town, I didn't want to start off this trip by being the Asian customer complaining about the rice. But to my fellow Yelpers, nope I cannot lie, it was not good. My dream of good Burmese coconut rice was broken that day lol I guess I'll have to try to recreate it at home or go back to CA to eat it where I first tried it. Other than that, it's a nice restaurant, service is attentive for the most part, and one should support their local Asian businesses. So go try their green tea leaf salad :) P.S. there's some GF options too!

Hi Lovelies! So recently I went to NYC for the first time ever. And right after coming from the air port to the hotel my sister wanted to take me to try Burmese food for the first time! Once we found the entrance of this establishment, we were greeted by quaint cute and chic decor. Very bright and light. Made us feel very welcomed! Some of their options for Burmese food wasn't gluten free. But at least I was able to try their leaf tea salad, which was marked as an authentic Burmese dish! At first it was bitter but with how it was prepared, with the dressing, and with the other ingredients in the salad it was so good! It was my favorite out of all the dishes I ate there. The service was good too! The server answered all our questions and made sure we got dishes that were gluten free. So if you wish to experience Burmese food for the first time come on down with a loved one or on your own. The place is a vibe and the atmosphere is calming.

Lemongrass Chicken Curry was phenomenal. Service was great. Will definitely be going back for more.

What a fabulous lunch that was had. I love Burmese food. It's so flavorful and tasty. Rangoon lived up to all my expectations and more. I was a tad late to the party and started with apps before me. What we ordered, I had no idea, all I know is I was given remnants on plates and devoured them before the main event - Lemongrass chicken curry. The portion was perfect (took half home and had it for dinner). The staff were so sweet and accommodating. There is seating upstairs and some down. It was such a great time and just solidified my love of Burmese food.
