My Review: Fork it over, Boston! (September 26, 2010)

Quick Tips: To my knowledge, this is the only Burmese restaurant in the Boston area. Burmese food incorporates some flavors and ingredients from nearby China, Thailand, and India, but you’ll also discover some things you might not have tasted elsewhere. We were particularly fond of LaPhetThot, a unique salad whose centerpiece was a pile of pickled tea leaves (more appetizing than it sounds, I promise). A vegetarian menu is available.
