PŌPA Burmese Kitchen in Toronto

The only Burmese place I know of in the GTA! Located within Bayview Village Mall is this unique restaurant that serves up vibrant flavors thatll get your taste buds dancing. Not Thai, not Lao, not Cambodian, not Indian, definitely Burmese. The Chamucas alone, which are like fried veggie spring rolls taken up a few notches, were excellent as are their lamb dishes. The platha with coconut dip was also tasty and only wished there was more. Also surprised rice wasnt included with the mains even though the menu said it was; rice definitely needed to balance out the flavors. Pricing increased by about 40% from a few months ago but then again they are situated in Bayview Village and with Covid, understandable to survive #supportlocal. Only wish portions sizes were bigger as their food is yummy! Always excellent and friendly service.

Came here for the first time for lunch on a Friday. They have a lunch set either 2 course for $23.99 (appetizer and main) or 3 course (appetizer, main and dessert) for $29.99. There are set choices for that lunch special. Its quite filling and nicely presented. The only thing was the seating arrangement, since it wasnt that busy as we went right when it opened, it was a little odd that they seated another party right beside us when there were lots of other tables free. Wouldve been nicer to have a bit of extra space given the availability of tables for conversation comfort.

Been wanting to try Popa since it opened but never had the chance until today! Came here with a friend for lunch and their lunch 3-course meal caught our eye. We had the tea leaf salad, fish curry and chai tea cheesecake for dessert - the food was alright, nothing spectacular. Seeing other reviews, I see that this is not really authentic Burmese food but rather a Thai/Indian fusion cuisine... My friend seemed to enjoy it more than I did, however. I really wanted to try their golden latte but was told they dont have lattes (not sure if that was just for today or they no longer serve lattes...but it was on their tea menu).

The only Burmese restaurant in Toronto. Very good food, the salads are highly recommended. The curry also very good. Please avoid the cheesecake! The service: impeccable ! Vegetarian options: Eggplant

(Updated 2024-11-04) POPA Burmese Kitchen is still remains one of my favourite go-to spot inside Bayview Village Shopping Mall. The food, drinks and service are always amazing! Im been a huge fan since they first opened. 5 stars in my books because they brough Shan Tofu back (they took it off the menu for a long time), and they always have Macau Egg Tarts :D!!! This restaurant deserves more attention and recognition. The food is always delicious. Highly recommend the Shan Tofu, Khow Suey (presentation is beautiful), Rangoon Chicken Curry (not spicy, yayy), and the freshly made Macau Egg Tart. The menu has a lot of Indian, Thai, Malaysian, and Chinese influences; it always excites me to try something new here! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2021-11-18) Have you guys ever tried Burmese cuisine before? This stylish eatery, POPA Burmese Kitchen inside Bayview Village Mall, offers traditional Burmese flavours fused with Indian & Chinese influences! There are plenty of vegan and gluten-free options on the menu. Recommendations: Pyay Platha Coconut chicken curry with a housemade buttery layered flatbread called platha The curry was hella addictive lol Shan Tofu aka Burmese Polanta SO GOOD, my favourite item on the menu It comes with a tamarind ginger dressing on the side Satay Lilit Bali aka Satay Skewers 2 beef or 2 chicken satays (or one of each) with peanut dipping sauce the beef skewers I ordered were so juicy, tender and flavourful Organic Mohinga This hot and spicy noodle dish is made with red snapper, sautéed lemongrass and a pea broth Served with coriander, boiled egg, homemade pea fritters, and gourd kyaw Rangoon Chicken Curry Burmese chicken curry served with jasmine rice though it says mild spicy, it was not spicy at all, which Im thankful for very tasty dish! Really wish to try their Macau Egg Tart for dessert but they were always SOLD OUT, and now they are out of stock :( 5 stars when they get the Macau Egg Tarts back! Parking: Underground parking also available.

Excellent experience and delicious food!

Very good service and loved the fish curry lunch set!! Would definitely come back again! Very good

Nice atmosphere, professional service, and great food. Had a wonderful time at POPA!!

I dont get how this place has majority 5-star reviews tbh. I was willing to overlook the fact that the restaurant is located in a mall (thats always going to bring the vibe down lmao), because the reviews were so good and the food & decor pics looked amazing. If I could, Id give this place a 3.5, because a 3 feels a bit too low. The food is actually really good, a lot of the dishes have a nice unique twist to them, like the samosa-like veg dumpling filling, and filling for the tofu. The vegetable curry was amazing, had a slight sweetness to it, and comes with a fragrant coconut rice. But the ambiance, food presentation, and service (mainly the service) is lacking. The manager seemed polite enough, but our waitress put zero effort into being polite or actually seeming like she wanted to be there. Not sure if she was just having a bad day, or what. I can understand it for sure, having worked in customer service most of my life, but acting like that when you know its someones birthday is crazy. We were a party of 9 there for my fathers birthday, and I kind of felt like I let everyone down by choosing somewhere new, but at least the food was good!

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was in a good portion. I find the Pad Thai I ordered was a little too saucy and in a tomato base. Maybe its the Burmese style. The curry fish my husband had was also in a tomato base curry, which is not expected but tasted nice.

Excellent food, generous dishes, pleasant service and great value.

Service and atmosphere is very good however this is no where close to being Burmese food. I lived in Yangon for 4 years and this is not Burmese food at all. Please don t call it that.

The atmosphere is really nice. The food is not bad but it s just not authentic. This is not a place you will get authentic Burmese food (no way near it). I d rate 5 for atmosphere and layout. 4 for the staff as they are really nice people but unfortunately 2 for the food as it leaves us disappointed.

It tastes good, but it s a pity that there is no Burmese cold noodles

Food, atmosphere and service was all amazing. 10/10 experience! Food

Food is not bad . it is better pair with rice. It is like mala curry, not busy but no water refill . it is 27.12 after tax which is over price you can have almost two ramen at other restaurants

I personally like Burmese food. I have been trying to become vegan in recent years. It is a surprise to find this good Burmese restaurant in Bayview Village, North York. Foods are tasty. Vegetarian options: This restaurant is vegetarian friendly.

Our 1st time to Popa- love the unpretentious friendly atmosphere. We tried the tea-leaf fried rice, Burmese fried rice and curry oh and also their mango salad - tealeaf rice was so fragrant!!! Mango salad was refreshing. Very nice customer service. Keep refilling our water. Glad that we can taste Burmese cuisine. We will definitely come back to try different items next time. Thank you!!

The food was exceptional. Great flavours, decent portions, quality ingredients were used, not greasy, and delicious. The service was also great. I am definitely coming back.

Excellent food and service! I would highly recommend this place. Food

The service here was on par with what I would expect. No complaints about the speed at which the food came out, it was speedy. I got the hakka Chilli deep fried chicken which was good, although it wouldve paired well with a side of rice but I wasnt prepared to spend $6 on this. I believe the main dishes should come with a side of rice, or at least not be priced so outrageously. Good experience overall.

Came here for Summerlicious, and was first disappointed with our waiter, Ajay. He wasn t very attentive and seemed to take his time or forget requests (e.g., when I asked about my food allergy, he said he would check with the kitchen and never got back to me before the food arrived; I ordered an iced tea that didn t seem to arrive before the end of my meal until I asked about it and it had no ice. He seemed to miss the main point of the beverage too.). The other waitresses were attentive. We enjoyed the appetizers. Some of the food on the menu - the chicken curry and the dessert, Chai cheesecake, really did not meet our expectations (chicken curry was really bland and the cheesecake had no hint of Chai at all. It should be called a vanilla cheesecake with caramel drizzle instead.). Overall, we were left disappointed.

Came for the Summerlicious. Chicken was dry. Curry was so watery. Chai cheesecake was disappointing didn t even take a picture. The staff said tables are so full and rushed me to pay the bill once I finished the dessert. Won t come here again and I don t recommend this restaurant. Food

Loves the food and the ambience. My favorite is lamb bao. Will be back soon.

went for dinner with the family, the food and services were excellent

The restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with a cozy ambiance and attentive service. The menu boasts a variety of flavorful dishes, beautifully presented. Highly recommended for a pleasant evening out.

One of the best restaurants for Burmese food. I enjoyed dinner with my family. Service was excellent .

We came for Summerlicious. The food was disappointing. We had samosas and chicken satay to start, fish curry with rice, chicken curry with rice, chai tea cheesecake and Portuguese egg tart for the prix fixe meal. Chicken satay was very dry but nicely spiced. Samosas looked like an eggroll. The red dipping sauce that went with it was very good. Fish curry was the tastiest dish. It was bland for my taste but overall yummy. Chicken curry was horribly dry and more bland than the fish. Cheesecake was nothing but, we could not taste any chai. Portuguese egg tart was good. It was a proper tart. The wine we had with dinner, a white and a rosé were very good. The servers were attentive. They filled our water regularly and took our used dishes away promptly. Overall, this is a food court restaurant with table service. We really wanted to experience Burmese cuisine. We will continue searching for the Burmese experience because we will not be back to this one.

We went to the restaurant did their summerlicious menu, and weee pleasantly surprised. The Kebat beef was amazing. Omg so much flavor!!! However it s not for everyone! It s very spicy. Our spice tolerance is a high the medium. And this dish is definitely up there on the spicy scale. We absolutely loved the flavors and spicness in our mouths. The restaurant is very nice and the staff indulged us with a couple of pics under the palm tree

Came to try it out for Summerlicious and did not disappoint. Great food, great staff.

The food was amazing. Must try Khou Suey, Hunan Potato and Paneer Chili

Great Burmese food in the city Staff is super friendly Great experience Parking: Ample amount of parking available on site

Lovely experience and very good food. Such great hospitality by Sandhya will definitely come again ... thank u Sandhya!

A new place in town that you should visit! It s @popa.toronto for Burmese, Macanese and Balinese Cuisine located right inside @bvshops. On the menu, a variety of salads, soups, noodles, curries and flatbreads with typical ingredients such as tamarind and coconut milk. ___ My first time trying out Burmese food! This one is a MUST....Tea Leaf Salad, a signature dish with lots of crunch and exotic flavours is blend of chopped fresh lettuce, with fermented tea leaves, tomato, fried yellow beans, garlic, sunflower seed, sesame seed, jalapeño, crushed peanuts and dried shrimp. _____ The Pe Platha made in house served warm, crisp exterior and soft inside melts in your mouth which you can dunk in the creamy Coconut Curry which I couldn t seem to get enough of!! ___ Nan Gyi Thoke served on a wood tray is quite similar to Khao Soi. Rice Noodles served with a chicken curry with a hard boiled egg and a variety of garnishes peanut, cilantro, Chili and garlic flakes. ___ Lots of shareables....Shan Tofu with a tamarind dressing and Pyaa Jo Kaye which are Burmese falafels made of yellow lentils. ___ You should try a few of the curry dishes. The Mango Pickled Lamb in a mango chutney was so tender and delicious. If you prefer a lighter curry, try the Village Fish served in a homemade masala, turmeric and pepper. Loved smothering my Jasmine rice with the curry sauces. ___ Make room for the Patsteis de Nata. I love these Portuguese style egg tarts made popular in Macau. One of the best I had with a creamy egg custard filling, flaky crust and just perfectly torched! - Recently revisited Popa again (May 2024) See new photos. Dishes Tried: Tea Leaf Salad Chicken Khowsuey (fave) Shrimp Kebat Tenderloin with Black Peppers Mango Pickled Curry (fave) Wasabi Truffle Edamme Momo (fave) Shrimp Fried Rice Don t forget to order some refreshing drinks. We really enjoyed the mocktails! ___ For more food adventures follow @hungry.jo on Instagram

Anyone who puts over a 4 must have long Covid. 0 Flavour food and the baos needed to be soaked in water or theyd sap out all the saliva in your mouth.

Great

My first time dining at popa. Very appreciated for all the food . We ordered the salt and pepper calameri and the chili chowmein. The chowmein is very yummy and delicious . Will definitely come again

The food is tasty, and service is great. The most cheerful and attentive staff ever. Went there for early dinner with my daughter after shopping. The reason I won t go back to this place, is their bathroom was absolutely filthy. So gross.

Enjoyed having lunch here food is unique. Love the presentation. Will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu.

This restaurant is located inside Bayview village with lots of parking inside. We went there for dinner. The place is nice, clean and has a cozy comfort feel. The service is great, with servers and staff coming over to check on us. Our first time visiting this restaurant and got a walk through of the menu and their signature dishes. I also noticed they have a nice selection of tea drinks which I will come back during tea time after shopping to try. We had a couple of appetizers including this crispy chickpea tofu which has a different texture than I expected because it is chickpea. The tea leaf salad which was recommended to us were one of our fav. Very refreshing. For the main, we tried the beef curry, edamame and truffle fried rice and the kowsuey. They makes good curry which we enjoyed a lot. We also had a Macau Portuguese egg tart that served warm and I highly recommend it. Overall it was a great experience for us.

Food was very good. Service was exceptional. Atmosphere is always subjective, this place was OK and comfortable.

Food and service was good. portion size of the chilli chicken was a bit small though

Popa Burmese Restaurant, nestled in Bayview Village, presents an exquisite culinary journey into the heart of Myanmar. This distinguished establishment prides itself on delivering authentic Burmese cuisine, meticulously prepared with the finest ingredients. Guests are invited to savor a diverse menu that includes aromatic curries, robust noodle soups, and distinctive salads, each dish reflecting the intricate spices and flavors of Burmese gastronomy. From the signature tea leaf salad to the traditional mohinga, Popa Burmese Restaurant ensures an exceptional dining experience that is both memorable and immersive.

First time here for dinner and was not disappointed. We ordered a number of dishes to share and every dish was delicious. Highly recommend the following dishes: platha with chicken curry (better to add an extra platha..super crispy and buttery), Myanmar potato..had a nice kick, tea leaf fried rice..very aromatic, huge portion, and Burmese pad Thai. Service was quick and staff were very friendly and constantly kept our glasses filled with water.

Pretty disappointed in the food. Was expecting it to be flavorful, but was just OK, nothing great. Service was great and staff was friendly. Food doesn t look like their pictures online. We ordered the chili garlic noodles and they tasted like nothing, so we sent it back and apparently the chef had missed adding the sauce. Dynamite shrimp is overrated. We ordered a curry which apparently doesn t come rice, which they added themselves without disclaiming, so there was an extra charge for rice to be served. Overall, pricey for what it is.

Food was great! service was also excellent. will come again!

Great Burmese food and good service!

Everything was impeccable: the service, the food, the staff, even the decor! Its super good, its my favorite restaurant in Toronto!! You absolutely have to try it!

Food was very good. Large portion. Service was great...very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was cozy

Excellent food and exceptional service. Burmese restaurants are quite rare and this one is worth the trip!

Great experience overall Another place I have wanted to come try for so long. Got the chance to with a friend who said he s also wanting to come, so it worked out perfectly Good was very tasty. Lots of textures and lots of spice. Which is generally the food style from Burma. Definitely recommend the mohinga noodle soup and the shrimp kebat. Very tasty. Service was great. She even informed us of the spice level in the dishes we ordered. And it s actually spicy, not like how some people would say spicy and it turns out less, so beware, especially for the people who can tolerate some spice. This will be spicier than expected Lots of ample parking since it s inside bayview village. Definitely want to come back. Great job overall

The food, ambience and service is amazing! I would love to go back again!!! This was anyway the 4th time i visited

I like the atmosphere, service of the restaurant. The food is not bad but not great either. The chilli chowmein is bland and tasteless. The previous Shanghai noodles were much tastier but I heard this dish was discontinued. Kindly bring it back. I rate the chowmein low because it has no taste whatsoever. Vegetarian options: Add more tastier vegetarian options. Kid-friendliness: Add more kid friendly foods.

lovely place, light and tasty food. I am not a cheesecake person but it was so good I ate it all.

Tasty food, light and fresh meals! Great value for money. Will come back again. Food

This restaurant is very clean and attractive. Service was slow but the place was busy when we went. Food is excellent! We loved the chicken curry with parata. The mutton curry was also very flavourful. We did not enjoy the desserts. Burmese food tastes like a mix of Bangladeshi and Thai. Would definitely go back

Service was amazing! Came to have lunch with two friends and we all had children with us. The staff were very accomodating, they went out of their way to get us high chairs for the kids. The food was delicious too, we tried two different curries (one fish and one chicken, we liked the fish curry more) and the dynamite shrimp. Our friends ordered the bao buns and stir fried noodles. All were tasty. Highly recommend if you want to try something new, this was our first time trying Burmese cuisine. 100% would recommend and would go back again!

Tried Myanmar potato fries (must tryyy, their dip is to die for), burmese falafel, dynamite shrimp in appetizers. Everything was good and didnt disappoint. Tried khowsuey and the quality of food was really good. Price was slightly high for portions, but the quality of food was great. Will come back and try other items in menu!

I love the delicious food here.

I visited for a lunch sitting, for which there was ample room at the opening and first seating. I ordered their 2 recommended dishes from the menu, the tea leaf rice and lamb Bao. Food service is slow, as its probably due to there being only one chef in the small kitchen. As he cooks food as it is ordered, so cooking one dish at a time. So the food comes out on waves, and if youre at a table where other people ordered something else, prepare to expect for a wait until the next dish comes out. Basically, dont expect to start eating at the same time as your other table mates or if you do eat at the same time, expect some peoples food to be cold. The tea leaf rice is just that....tea leaves and rice with a garnish of peanuts. I would consider this as more of an appetizer dish a main dish as the placement in the menu is wrong. There are no protein or sufficient proteins in this dish to be called a dish. The tea leaf aroma is absent, the flavours from the tea leaf are absent. Other than the name, this is not worth the price or spectacle. The 2nd dish was the lamb bao which is classed as an appetizer on the menu and only 2-3$ cheaper than the tea leaf rice which I found strange. This item only came as 2 baos which would equate to about 7$ a Bao which would put it price wise close to a fast food burger. For which the burger is substantially more filling. The lamb was dry. The lamb filling was sparse, the greens that accompanied the baos were lettuce and not of the freshest sort. The lettuce was browning which indicates that it is aged. In terms of flavour, there is an absence of the flavour of lamb. Other table mates had curry which at other restaurants include rice (here you side order this and the rice is a large order), the chili chicken is overly salted. It was good for water service for which we were always topped up as there were 4 wait staff milling about. This restaurant is not a return option.

Delicious Burmese Food! The Oh No Khowsuey is definitely recommended. The Katsu Chicken Bao is flavourful as well, indeed a good option if you need something on the lighter side. Need to come back to try some of that Burmese stir fried chicken. And yes, halal is served.

Friendly staff. Clean environment tasty curries. Desserts need more thought and love put into the selection. Overall good restaurant but not great. We enjoyed our meal - however, probably won t return unless the menu gets switches up a little. Vegetarian options: Tofu options and veggie dishes.

A unique and tasty experience! Loved the food well made and great presentation! Would definitely come here again went for winterlicious but would come back to try other items on the menu, thanks for having us!

Made a reservation at 8:00, was told no tables were available and to come back 15 mins later. Was seated after 30 mins, was then rushed to place an order. Menu does not advertise/warn that some dishes contain peanuts. Be warned do not dine here.

Visited for lunch on first day of Winterlicious. All food choices at our table were tasty and generous portions. Well be back! Food

I fell in love with this restaurant. All of their food are amazing !!! I brought all of my friends and families and they all said they wanted to bring their families too.

Went there for Winterlicious! Tasty!

Good place and interesting cuisine to try. The salad with tea leaves was good and interesting as well as the rice with tea leaves (excellent!). The lamb curry is incredible. The baos with the lamb, well, the lamb good the actual bao was chewy. The cheesecake infused with chai, well, not much chai it seems, as we barely feel the flavour. Nice experience to try some new cuisine, we wont go back. Service was pretty bad, nobody came to the table, we had to be calling the waiters to get service and they mention they are very busy. We had to ask 3 times to get sparkling water.

Tried out this restaurant for Winterlicious! Overall I would say the food is fine. Not amazing but not bad! The server we had so so sweet. One of our items ended up not coming out but he was very quick to rectify the situation on our bill. I had the Steak Kebat. Our server said that it was EXTREMELY spicey. I found it to be mild at best and my partner who can t really handle spice at all also found it mild. If you can handle spice it is definitely not spicey. Overall would I come back here? Probably not. But it was definitely nice to try for the first time!

Had the pleasure of eating at POPA, amazing service and wonderful food! Ajay the manager was very friendly, would definitely recommend coming here!

We had dinner here upon the recommendation of a friend. It was our first experience with Burmese cuisine, and we were not disappointed. We were there on the final day of Winterlicious 2024 and availed ourselves of the $35 Prix Frixe menu (starter, main, and desert). All the food was delicious and the hot items arrived physically hot. The spicy food had a pleasant approachable heat, even for people who dont like spicy food. The fried lentil condiment was fantastic. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick. We were there at 5:30 so we were the only diners at the start. The ambience was nice, and the music was quiet enough for easy conversation. We would eat here again. (Hopefully, next time, theyll have the Burmese beer. Thankfully, the other tap selections were local craft beers: Steam Whisle Pillsner and Mill Street organic, both good pairings for the food. The wine list was decent, too.) Parking: Shopping mall parking. Wheelchair accessibility: Bayview Village Shopping Centre is entirely accessible.

Winterlicious 2024. Overall, I was a little disappointed with my experience. The service was fine, but I felt the portions and flavours were a bit lacking. I got the Steamed Lamb Leg Bao to start. I thought the lamb itself was tasty, but the ratio of filling to bao was off. Namely, there was not enough filling in relation to the size of the bao. Since the bao relies on the sauce and filling for flavour, it fell short and ended up tasting a bit dry/bland. For the main, I got the Chicken Khowsuey, and this was probably the best of the three dishes. It came with ~7 different toppings, and I appreciated the small trays they were placed in, so you could add/omit the toppings as you d like. I felt this dish was the standout in terms of the flavours and textures. That being said, the chicken was quite dry and the portion size was too small for a main. The dessert was the most underwhelming of the three courses. I got the Chai Tea Cheesecake, and I could not make out any Chai flavour whatsoever it tasted like a regular cheesecake. Moreover, the slice was tiny and it was made on top of the thinnest layer of cake crust , which ended up tasting soggy. A different choice of crust (i.e., graham cracker crust) could have elevated the cake. For something that costs $8 on their normal menu, I would advise against ordering this. All in all, I am curious about their other dishes, but I likely won t return anytime soon. For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of flavour and portion, and I was underwhelmed.

Really flavourful and fresh food. The curries were tasty and not overly heavy or over spiced. Will definitely go back for another meal.

Great food and a comfortable, warm ambience. The China town noodles were perfect - more like the chowmein one gets in India. My kid is very particular about food, and she devoured the noodles!! The kebat platter was great as well. Portions are good. All in all we had a good experience

First time trying Burmese food and it was delicious. The Khowsuey noodles came with a variety of exciting toppings that you can add as you eat and the mango pickled lamb curry was very aromatic. My only issue was that the curry dishes we ordered didn t come with rice and we had to order rice separately.

First time trying Burmese food. Very tasty. Some items on the menu are a fusion of Indian, Thai, Burmese. The quality of the food was fresh. Food had a lot of spice. Had the Chickpea tofu, Mango lamb curry and the coconut rice. Yummy, definitely going back to try other dishes. Parking: Bayview mall.. lots of parking

Excellent!!

I went to eat food today 31/December/2023 Evening around 7.30 with my family. There were very poor customer service. I was looking for hot sauce , salt and pepper. There were few customers had dinner on that time but still they dont care about my table. Food wasnt bad but customer service is very very poor. I was disappointed.

Very good food and service.

This place is a gem. Delicious food, lovely ambiance and good size dinner tables. Definitely going to visit again.

The food is absolutely delicious and the prices for the servings sizes are as fair as you ll get in this area. If you re in or close to Bayview village this is the only place you should be eating at

Decent food!

We ordered the Burmese falafel, dynamite shrimp, tea leaf salad, Rangoon chicken curry and village fish curry. Everything was delicious, but the curries and the Burmese falafel were the stars of the meal. Keep in mind the servings are quite large.

Steak kebat and curry was really good but really really spicy. Nan was great and customer service was very good. Shrimp kebat was good but had just 6-7 shrimp and rest was onion and pepper.

Deserves 3.5. tried crispy rice, rangoon chicken and oh no kohsuey. Crispy rice starter was Ok, nice as not an usual starter. Rangoon chicken sauce was too liquid for my liking. Kohsuey is basically Thai khao soi. Flavor was good. So the main problem is that you pretty much end up with the same food as a Thai restaurant but for $84 after tip for 2 dishes+ 1 starter.

Had dinner with colleagues last night. The restaurant is in the mall , google/Apple Maps can be a bit confusing. The wait staff recommended a few dishes, and we shared all plates. I have a nut allergy and they were very accommodating. I don t think the shrimp appetizer was good , but the the calamari and baos were great! The tea leaf rice was good , but I wish there was a bit more flavour ?? The curries were great though , I really enjoyed those.

Best Burmese food i had...quite budget friendly as well. Has vegan/vegetarian options.

Beautiful restraunt with well seasoned and reasonably priced elevated Burmese food. The venue is beautiful from the benches to the bowls everything has small details to make it feel lavish. The staff was so lovely and accommodating, asking about allergies and offering tea leaves to smell before ordering. They have a large tea menu of many beautiful favorites that all have a small description of the history associated. The food was quite good, we got the tea rice and the mohinga. Both came out beautifully presented and were very flavourful. The portion sizes were worth the price too. We plan to come back in the future! Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options! Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free and vegan options.

I ordered lamb bao. The lamb was excellent but the bao was too chewy and even tough in some parts. The beef kebat was okay but I think the beef didn t soak in enough of the flavours. Very saucy and not enough rice. The rice was fragrant and we liked it.

Overall not bad. Curry is very flavorful. Oh no Khowsuey Chicken is interesting. Burmese Falafel is different. Tea Leaf Salad is refreshing. Food : 4/5 |

3 of us ordered the Oh No Koyseow noodles, Village Fish Curry, Lamb Baos. They were simply delicious!!!! Rich, flavourful, not too spicy either. we were beyond full and satisfied. Service was very good too! Vegetarian options: Choose vegetarian over chicken, its nicer! Parking: Lots of parking at the Bayview Village mall Kid-friendliness: Can take bite sized food

I love Burmese food - grew up eating authentic Burmese food made by my dad and aunts. Service was fine. Food was bland and seasoning didnt hit the spot. Felt like it was more fusion since its westernized. The food didnt taste bad, but I unfortunately would not say its authentic.

First time in, portfolio creation of Master Chef Hemant Bhagwhani. Courteous prompt service by Mr.Rahul. I decided to try Mohingha, deemed National Bermese dish. Generous portion of thick fish filet, serve with noodles, with coriander fused creamy broth. Taste of quality and love , excellent value that I was not expecting from a high end restaurant. I might have mistakenly asked for mild, I didn t get the kick that I expected. Love trying something new. I will come back and try Mango pickled Lamb curry. Great location in Bayview Village mall, with free parking, free wifi, and clean washrooms. Kudos to staff and Chef Hemant.

First time visit, we loved the food! Its Burmese, with influence of Thai, Indian and Malaysian flavors. Our simple meal was very satisfying and fulfilling.

Absolutely delicious and unique flavours! We will go back soon to try more dishes.

Had the lamb bao, Chili garlic street noodles and both were phenomenal. Rahul was an amazing server - would definitely recommend!

Everything was perfect

Very nice restaurant with good food, pleasant ambiance, and excellent service. First time having Burmese cuisine and it evokes both Thai and Indian flavours while of course being its own thing.

Was looking for a, place to have Khow Suey. Discovered this place online. Had Khow Suey for lunch along with a Mocktail and appetizer. The ambience was great. The service even greater. The food was the greatest. Will definitely visit again.

Great food, great service - would come again! Curry and Chili noodles were great.

Celebrated birthdays for our co-workers. Food was great. Lots of spicy foods. They have vegetarian options. Great atmosphere.

We have been here multiple times snd had an amazing experience every time. Jay offered us an amazing dining experience. He remembers our preferences always and recommends great options of dishes. Highly recommend the good and even more the service!

It might not be authentic for some since its a fusion but the food is fascinating if youre into trying something unique and different! I had the Khowsuey chicken and omg super delicious! I was told what the side ingredients were and the service was awesome. Im coming back on Friday for lunch and bringing a friend. Their curries are fantastic. And for the ones adding that is not authentic Burmese, please suggest what is and where to find it, not everything will taste the same way than back home so why not trying something new?

I was really curious to try Burmese food, but unfortunately it was a bit disappointing. Had the lamb pickled mango curry, which sounded really interesting but the lamb was a bit tough, and really heavy on the sauce, like a soup. Flavor of the sauce was not bad, spicy but not too much. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options of different types of dishes.

I am a Burmese and I missed foods from my home country, thus went to this place. No food here looks like Burmese foods at all but more of made-up foods with Indian flavors cooked by an Indian chef who has never been to Burma. I wish I can sue this restaurant for misrepresentation of Burmese foods, lol

Food was ok. Shrimp dish was a little too saucy and the calamari had a little too much breading. Service and hospitality was top notch. They kept checking that you were ok and tried really hard to accommodate.

Enjoyable meal; first time having Burmese cuisine. Great service. I d go back Update: returned May 2023, still wonderful .

That is not even Burmese cuisine . Their tea leaf salad is not even taste tea leaf . Hope you can learn how to cook Burmese food first and open the restaurant .

Loved their curry. Unique seasoning. Try the Platha with coconut curry.

The best fusion restaurant in town. Loved their wide selection of noodles options and really flavourful curries. Burmese fried rice is a must. Will be back soon.

This place doesn t serve authentic bumese food. If you never tried Burmese food before, it is a good place to eat. As a Burmese, I didn t like the food. We don t add chunks of fish like this in mont hin khar

Love the fusion of Asian flavors. A must try! Steamed lamb leg bao and Oh No Khowsuey Chicken noodles are a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

Drinks are expensive

This is not Burmese restaurant. They named the food after Burmese food but none of their dish is Burmese food.

The service was good. The restaurant was very clean, but the food was not good at all. We didn t even bother to take the leftover home.

Great food. Very good service

Not authentic nor tasty. Having travelled to Myanmar, I think this would likely turn people off from well done Burmese food.

Tried Eggplant Garlic chicken& mayanmar potato gud in taste, aroma& presentation with great vibes..recommended everyone

ordered chicken stir fry and burmese fried rice and both dishes were good. Rangoon spring roll was just like and indian samosa filled with potato mash. One thing to mention that we recd a bowl with a chipped edge which is not a very good sign of good service by the staff. They should never use such to serve guests. Did notify the server and he said that he knew it was chipped and sorry. I felt its pure negligence on the restaurants part. Not a very good way to treat customers. The restaurant needs to improve on this.

Was excited to visit the restaurant as it is known for its fine dining experience. Food was good ... but the appetizer was just as normal as an Indian based stuffed potato fillings samosa... whereas this was in a spring roll shaped. The chicken stir fried Burmese style was good and also the Burmese fried vegetable rice was good too. The ambience was really good... but one lack of attention upseted our mood to the fullest. With not much tables to be served, the staff at the restaurant had not paid attention to the crockery in which they were serving their guests. We were served in a chipped bowl, which isnt a great sign of authenticity on the restaurants part and leaves a bad impression towards the restaurant. This needs to be taken care of .... We did notify the same to the server and he casually just said that we know about it and we just got a Casual Sorry. (If they knew about it then why serve in such crockery only??!) Lastly, I would just mention that the restaurant shall take care and check in their kitchen fr the crockery etc. And keep up to their restaurants standards!! For which its known in particular.

We have no visited this restaurant for a long period of time. The Burmese style is pretty unique. The Tea Leaf salad is refreshing with some chewy nuts. The Egg plant Bao has special flavour sauce and is quite tasty. The Dynamite Shrimp is another understanding dish.

Today me and husband went to dining and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We order Rango chicken curry, Rango chicken fried rice and dynamite shrimp. The portions were so good and enough for two people. All the dishes are so tasty. Also order a moktail -pineapple flavored was good too. We spend around $70 and worth it. Thank you. Highly recommend

Delicious food! We got the dynamite shrimp and lamb leg baos and their signature noodle dish with chicken (pictured) and the flavours were so engaging on our palate. The service was top notch too. And we will definitely be back.

Delicious food. Beautiful ambiance. Pleasant service. Value for money! To our delight we found a good amount of interesting vegetarian options in all categories of the menu. You can trust the staff to make recommendations. Definitely going back for more.

Excellent food, nice fusion of Indian, Pan Asian, Burmese cuisines. All items are Halal. Nice ambience, great staff. Dietary restrictions: Halal and vegetarian friendly.

If you love Khao suey, this place hands down has the best one in GTA. From the presentation to the taste it was all on point. They also have a variety of tea options to choose from, both hot and cold. Their chilly fried rice also was delicious.

Great service! Good food. Excellent portions! :)

Reasonable price and very good dishes with a more than adequate quantity

We tried the tea leaf fried rice , the Malaysian potatoes and Bao. Everything was super delicious!!

What a delightful find! This Indian/Chinese restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The Shrimp and Curry Chicken we ordered were absolutely scrumptious.The cozy atmosphere added to the charm, creating the perfect ambiance for a memorable evening. One of the standout features of this restaurant is its affordable prices. Despite the incredible quality of the food and the cozy setting, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. Its refreshing to find a place that offers such delicious cuisine without breaking the bank. To top it all off, the service was friendly and attentive. The staff made us feel welcomed and ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. If youre looking for a cozy haven of deliciousness that wont drain your wallet, this Indian/Chinese restaurant is the place to go. We highly recommend it for a fantastic dining experience that satisfies both your taste buds and your budget! Parking: Bayview village parking

Salad, shrimp and noodle were delicious and excellent.

World class Mohingha serves with all the traditional ingredients and solid fish cubes in the soup. Made in Heaven!

Tried out POPAs summerlicious dinner menu. The fish croquettes appetizers were great! The lamb bao buns were good but could have used another dressing to not be as dry. But the pickled mango lamb curry was delicious!! Lamb was very tender The deserts, burnise semolina cake and chai cheesecake were a great way to end the meal!! Would definitely recommend doing the summerlicious menu since we did the math and it works out to being 10$ cheaper, which can definitely help!!

Came here for lunch and service was really good. Food was overall very salty and spicy. We ordered the chilly tangy chickpea tofu. This was surprsingly tasty with its sweet spicy and tangy sauce. But again its still salty. Fir main we ordered Khowsuey noodle with chicken. The noodles were all very short strands making it hard to pick up. It seems like they gave all the leftover broken up noodles for this dish. We also ordered the shrimp kebat. That was very salty...didnt taste much other than salt.

Went there as part of the summerlicious program. The food was amazing and I definitely plan to return.

Went for Summerlicious. The flavours in every part of the meal were divine.

Summerlicious. Meals were quite good but on the smaller side

I ve eaten a lot of Burmese tea leaf salad and this was a VERY poor substitute for the real thing. It was mushy and very light on the key nutty ingredients that give the salad texture. Service was also subpar. The atmosphere was fine but it s located in a mall so there isn t much to work with Don t go out of your way for this restaurant thinking it s the only Burmese restaurant in Toronto. It s not good.

Ive heard great things about the food here but it was disappointing to me. Its my first time trying Burmese food. Didnt taste bad but I would not come again.

Unique flavours for those who like to try Burmese cuisine. We are lucky to hv such choice and variety in Toronto. Will be back.

I found this restaurant on Google Maps. The prices seemed reasonable, and I ve never had Burmese food before, so I decided to try it out and boy was it a great decision! The restaurant was a bit darker than what I would have liked, which contrasted with the bright mall interior, but the service was very welcoming and efficient from the start. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there was a three-course prix fixe dinner for just $33 per person, but we only had an hour so we decided to order from the regular menu. A note here upon hearing that we had limited time, the manager shared the information with the waitress, who ensured that we were well taken care of in that short amount of time. Fantastic attention to customers! We tried the khow suey noodles and the mango pickled lamb curry, along with a bowl of coconut rice. The two mains tasted amazing! I loved the coconut flavour of the noodle curry and the way it was presented with little bowls of additional things you could add to the curry, altogether on a wooden tray. The mango lamb curry was mild, and I personally really liked how it was not as tangy as typical Indian or Thai curry. When dining out, I typically place high importance on the portion relative to the cost and I was happy with the portions of not just the mains, but also the rice (plus, the coconut rice was presented with thought and tasted better than regular steamed rice). The food was brought to us in a short amount of time after we ordered and the waitress came frequently during the short meal to check on us, add water or bring things as needed. After the meal, the waitress (or manager, I forgot who it was) remarked that we had a rushed meal due to time limits and hoped that we come back. I definitely will!!

We went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon! The food items on the summerlicious menu were good. The baos were fantastic. The dessert was very dry. It was the semolina cake. We were a large group and even though the restaurant was empty, the service wasn t the best. The curry was very mild. The Hakka noodles lacked salt and we had to add it ourselves. The ambience is good. It was a good experience over all.

All the dishes were very flavourful. Great friendly service by Rahul and a wonderful ambiance.

We had 2 completely different experiences. Will not be going there again. Short version is service was horrible the 2nd time, food was stale (frozen veggies!) & highly overpriced. Too much focus on the looks vs actual quality of food + service. 1st time was great - Sandya (server) was amazing & food was good. We had only the veg Khou Suey (totally different experience 2nd time though). 2nd time Service - Terrible. Another server (male with glasses) messed up our order. He got us 2 curries instead of a curry & rice like we ordered. Who orders 2 curries & no noodles/rice? We pointed it out & by the time the rice was made, other food was cold, which then had to be reheated & brought. Another server started helping us & the man with glasses disappeared. We also ordered Khou Suey & spring rolls. The server with glasses never bothered to apologize, instead hanging around showing memes to other servers (??) Food - Stale & overpriced. Bizarrely, the veggies they used this time were frozen Costco veggies (not fresh), & I had to ask them to fill up the condiments (they gave 1 small sliver of lime, literally bare minimum of other condiments for a $30 Khou Suey?). Small portion too for $30 approx ($22 plus tax plus tip) & skimping on condiments? not worth it at all. They are selling 3 spring rolls filled with potato for over $15 ($13 plus tax plus tip). What a joke. Never going there. 2 stars instead of 1 only because of the server Sandya who served us well the 1st time. Avoid this place.

Food was very tasty, everything, Bao, curries, fried rice. Service was top notch. I highly recommend going there.

Not my favourite.

Tea leaf salad (like the crispy lentil. not my thing. Got this veggie raw flavour Lamb mango curry (nice rice, fluffy, subtle coconut flavour, the curry pumps up the taste. Curry is good, but nothing impressive Semolina cake (warm Dinner set is a good choice

So tasty and delicious. The food was served hot and the service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be going back!

Good food but not authentic Burmese food. The style is more Indian food.

Place is a gem. Good price. Large servings. Great staff.. have gone now 5 times. Each experiece is the same. Very happy customer. Music can be loud sometimes but they have no issues turning it down. 5/5

Went to Popa with my wife at lunch time on a Friday. We both got the three course prix fixe lunch option. She had the tofu, the fish curry, and the semolina cake. I had the bao, rangoon chicken curry, and egg tart. Everything was very good and the portions were generous. The bao appetizer consisted of two little sandwiches, so made for easy sharing. The tofu was surprisingly spicy, which was very welcome. Id definitely come back.

I love their Lemon grass curry chicken!!

Extremely poor service. Very rude server. Will never come back. Avoid this place!

Great food & great service! Highly recommend the calamari, mango lamb curry & Khowsuey!

Good food. Would recommend the street noodles and rangoon curry. Edit: have visited several times in the past few months. Always up to the mark. Great food and service. Food

This place is a hidden gem. FOOD: Chicken Ragoon curry: for the first time in my life I ever fell in love with a curry. Its very flavorful yet not too spicy. Creamy, rich, and tasty. Village Fish Curry: this one is more spicy but they did very well handling the fishy smell in this dish. 10/10 Oh No Khowsuey: This is my most favorite on the table. The portion is huge. Very creamy and nutty, comes with a bunch of crunchy or crispy toppings to balance out the flavor. Tea leaf salad: not recommend, it tastes weird DRINKS: I was shocked with the huge selection of tea they have. Dont know much about tea so their White Peony Tea taste ok, quite bland and lack of fragance. SERVICE: the waiter was super nice and professional, hes very patient explained to me everything. VIBE: Its in a weird location in the corner of the mall & you have to get inside the mall to access the restaurant. Its very quiet therere barely anyone comes to eat.

Im glad I discovered this place on Google, but it was a complete disappointment. I felt embarrassed and brought my friends over to have a taste of Burmese food. This is not Burmese food in any way! Its a blend of Thai and Indian food, not in a positive way. Although the service is amazing, the food is truly disappointing. I hope they gain some insight into the process of making Burmese food.

First time to try Burmese cuisine and glad to have done it at Popas Not only was our server amazing, but so was the rest of the staff. Good food combined with great service is what makes a dining experience We enjoyed our dinner last night! Food

Amazing food esp Green tea salad. Service was amazing too. Would love to visit again when around.

Came here for a friend gathering and I would Say the service was friendly.I ordered plates with curry and the beef kebat. I didnt find the food outstanding or anything special. I was warned the beef kebat was super spicy , server said it a level 10/10 but I didnt find it spicy at all it was more like a 3/10 for me. Overall food was ok but I dont think it would be one of those restaurants I would crave and want to come back.

Entrees were great but Im 99% sure dessert was microwaves and very dry

I had a curry lemongrass vegetable. It had a lovely flavour and not salty. I ordered a Platha but didn t know it comes fried (thought it was like a naan), so didn t care for it. The staff is friendly but not helpful in menu selection. It s not fast nor inexpensive. I have the impression most menu items are fried.

Amazing chef amazing service!!! Recommended! Rahul is the best A real hidden gem in Bayview Village and pretty unique with its authentic Burmese flavours (similar to Thai, Malaysian, crossed with Indian) Curries and fried rice are unbelievable... Kid-friendliness: Laidback, no loud music, comfortable, attentive

The presentation and food taste and quality is amazing. We will be back to try more dishes. Thank you. Food : 5/5

Great food and service! They had a pre-fixe menu option for lunch $25 which has a good selection of choices to choose from. Also tried a few of their other dishes from the main menu and it was good too such as their famous noodles and kebabs. Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly and vegetarian options available Parking: Located inside Bayview Mall

First time trying Burmese food and we enjoyed it very much! Chicken and beef were halal, not to mention the taste and presentation was great. The Khaowsuey was definitely the highlight of our order. The only thing I would recommend is adding the rice with the Rangoon curry instead of us having to order it separately. Now a days a lot of places that offer curry include rice with it since its not really something you can enjoy without a bit of rice (imo) The place was inside Bayview village and had a very nice interior. They close from 4-5pm (probably in preparation for dinner?) But the atmosphere was great. It looked very aesthetic. The staff was great too. They didnt rush us at all and gave us recommendations when asked. Though they did ask us how we wanted to split the bill as soon as they took our order. Not a negative point but definitely a first since we usually get asked when it is time to pay. All in all it was great food and would definitely come again when in the area! The pricing seemed reasonable too! Dietary restrictions: Halal Parking: The restaurant is inside Bayview village

This was my first time trying Burmese Food. I really enjoyed the Katsu Chicken Bao and Pasteis de Nata. The bao bun was soft and fresh which was a nice contrast to the crispy chicken. The pasteis was warm right from the oven. We also enjoyed the Rangoon chicken and Mohinga. I would definitely come back to try more dishes.

Lovely lunch today at this restaurant. A first visit. Service provided by the 2 wait staff was particularly good

Service and food was great. Must try is their potato appetizer

We really enjoyed the food! Well definitely go back soon.

This is my second visit. My kids love the food as its to their liking and taste. Platha with coconut chicken curry was the star among my kids. Rangoon spring rolls were mostly potato based. China town noodles were a little greasy but okay for the kids. The noodles potion was good for four of us after devouring on starters. Lastly, the Macau egg tart was great to finish off the dinner. We are strongly recommend and encourage eating healthy and eating to enjoy. We don t order more food ending up wasting or carrying it home for next meal.

Lovely Place, great service and good food with great prices. Highly recommended. Food

Glad to finally find a Burmese restaurant in GTA. This place is inside Bayview Mall. I love Burmese Platha with coconut chicken curry combo and this place didn t disappoint me. We ordered extra platha to share. Apart of that tried bunch of other dishes such as Lamb Bao, Rangoon curry, kousheuy. Please be advised when it comes to their curry based dishes they more or less tend to taste from a similar palette. Thus, recommended to mix and match. We will come back for their Platha.

This place was excellent. The food was delicious and interesting. The service was very friendly. I will be back again!

Authentic Burmese cuisine !

Its not bad food, but its definately not authentic Burmese food, like not even close. Unfortunately there are no other Burmese restaurants in the GTA in 2023.

Weve been twice, and both times, food and overall service (so polite, and attentive) was excellent. If you want to know why I therefore removed a star, just skip to the bottom paragraph. So far, weve tried the Mohinga (excellent) Mango Pickled Lamb Curry (delicious and well-cooked, but not spicy despite what they told me, and not sure Im getting any pickled mango which is why I ordered it!), Khowsuey (vegetarian version), coconut rice (not sweet or sticky, so perfect for the curries). We shared a delicious potato appetizer (not on posted online menu as of the time of this review), which was deep fried potato pieces tossed in dry seasoning of chilli, green onion and peanuts. The chilli/garlic street noodles (also not on posted online menu despite it being available for many months on the menu in the restaurant) was enjoyed on both occasions; we added chicken to it and asked for it spicy (they didnt really make it too spicy, so ask for extra chilli flakes on the side if you want it very spicy). Portions are a good size for sharing family-style, and I still definitely had enough for 2 meals, at least. Curries dont come with rice, so you have to order rice separately. Both times weve been, we ordered from their extensive tea menu. As a tea connoisseur or at least being willing to pay for better quality/more unusual teas/attuned to subtleties in the flavours/know the difference between oolong and milk oolong tea for example (no, one doesnt come with milk!), I expected the servers to be able to answer questions and know the correct preparation of different teas. Ive taken off one star solely because of my latest experience in which I ordered white needle tea which is an uncommon, delicate variety (white referring to the immature tea leaves, low oxidation). (If tea is not important to you, you can stop reading now because everything else was top notch and Im picky about tea!) The tea menu specifically says this tea should be enjoyed in multiple steepings to experience the changing flavours - and this is one of my favourite things about drinking tea. At home, I usually do a 1 minute steeping for my first cup of white tea, then 2-3 min, not exceeding 4-5 min ever for white tea! The cups they provide are the small traditional Eastern tea cups, which lend themselves specifically to small and multiple steepings/tastings. The tea arrived already steeping in a 4-cup size teapot and the server recommended steeping for 7 mins (?!?!) and provided a timer. I told him that even the menu suggests multiple steepings for white tea and that I wanted to do shorter steepings. He seemed confused and just reiterated the 7 mins is what is recommended for all teas. It didnt make any sense to me and I was concerned white tea may become bitter in 7 mins...but decided to trust his recommendation. I did pour a cup at the almost 2 min mark (I used my watch since he didnt bring the 2 min timer) which was delicious (lighly grassy/floral as white tea should be), but it was so hot I could not finish it in time to pour another cup (or track him down to ask for another cup) until the 6 min mark! I managed to ask him to bring another cup at 7 mins. The 6 min cup was tinged with bitterness and the 7 min cup (his recommended steeping time) was ruined. For me, being so concerned, rightfully so, that my tea was going to be ruined took me out of being able to enjoy the company I was with. So, I suggest you ask for several cups if you actually want to try the multiple steepings the menu recommends/cant drink a boiling hot cup within 2 mins. Youd need to be ok with later cups having cooled. Or, when you place the order, ask that you control the amount and timing of water poured into teapot - they dont seem to be set up for that by default. Servers need training on different teas and preparation nuances if rare teas continue to be a big menu feature.

Extremely poor service

A local favourite of mine. Great environment and generous portions. Keeps me coming back for the Burmese pad thai

What a great spot. Excellent service and friendly staff Everything was excellent. Stand out items: tea leaf salad, khowsuey noodles, platha with curry Hidden gem: tea menu!

Burmese food is pretty rare in Toronto so I was excited to try this place out. The food didn t wow me in anyway, though it is pretty competent. Burmese food is similar to Thai and this place has a bit of fusion going on so it s interesting.

You know how people say Cuban food tastes better outside of Cuba. Having been to Burma (tho almost over a decade ago) I thought that might be true too for Burmese food. We were in the neighborhood to see a friend and ended up coming here coz the BF wanted to try this place. Surely, why not? Like I said, my food experience in Burma was kinda meh so its not like I had anything good to compared this with. At $20+, the Rangoon Chicken Curry was rather watery and the chicken breast dried and blend - and it didnt even come with rice, which was another $6, and was cooked with so much water it was excessively goo-y and sticky, and not in a good way. I honestly dont understand why the place got so busy. We didnt have a reservation and so was put to the table on the outside (part of the mall area) and I had that odd chair that was different than every other one they used in the restaurant which was super uncomfortable, that you could feel the metal bar of the back and seat. I dont really usually care for staff coming around checking on you hows it going? Is everything OK? But as a side note, for a restaurant of this the nature they wish to set themselves up as, there was none of that also. And we also had to ask for water refill multiple times. All in all, I found the whole experience pretty meh...

Very Nice!
