Lee Chow Burma O’Clock offers 100% authentic dishes with homemade flavors that remind me of my Burmese mother’s cooking! We started with the Burmese fritters, tea leaf salad and ginger salad for appetizers. The batter on the fritters was light and crispy and the sweet & sour tamarind sauce was a perfect balance to the fritters. Both the tea leaf and ginger salads were refreshing and texture-rich. We sampled all the traditional dishes, including Khao Swe, Moh Hinga, Nan Gyi Thoke - all wonderfully rich broth full of authentic flavors: coconut, curry, turmeric, fish sauce paired with very fresh and perfectly cooked (and bouncy) noodles. The beef curry with coconut infused rice was exceptionally tender and fragrant! Of course, we couldn’t resist finishing the wonderful meal with a serving of Falooda for dessert. The owner was so sweet and generous, she gifted us with some complimentary Burmese banana cake. I wish I can give Burma O’Clock more than 5-stars because it exceeds all expectations! It deserves a Michelin star, if not 4! If you’re familiar with Burmese food, you will find Burma O’Clock to be an authentic treasure and a culinary gift for those craving delicious food from the homeland… and if you are a first timer to Burmese food, this is the place to go to take your tastebuds on an unbelievable adventure! Wheaton and the surrounding areas are lucky to have such an authentic restaurant! My 92-year old Burmese father was transported to old memories of Yangon, with every delicious bite! Burma O’Clock is not just authentically delicious food, it’s a culturally rich experience! Thank you, Mra, we can taste your passion in your cooking!
Much success to you for such a fine restaurant!
