Eric Tatum Old school breakast/diner place. Amazing food - great find! Takes me back many years to a place I used to eat at with my Grandpa. Dont change a single thing!

Burt Markham Wonderful food and service.

Thomas Aaker Food and service was excellent. Attentive and friendly. It was a slow time of day but typically they always are good. Floor by counter was sticky, probably from an old spill.

Jeff Steil My wife and I were traveling through the area and stopped here for breakfast based on Goggle reviews. Very small and cozy inside and the breakfast was very good as was our server. You can always tell the good places when you see all locals in the establishment. Would definitely revisit when traveling this path again.

Ann Pitchford Great place to eat great service and atmosphere is wonderful. Highly recommend

Ashish Mehta Pa Lian Restaurant in Wheaton, IL is an absolute gem, especially if you want to experience authentic **Burmese cuisine**. Burmese food is a wonderful blend of flavors influenced by Indian, Thai, and Chinese cooking—fresh herbs, bold spices, fermented ingredients, and perfectly balanced savory, sour, and spicy notes. We tried **all the vegan items**, and every single dish was outstanding. The flavors were deep and comforting, yet light and fresh at the same time. You can really taste the care and authenticity in the cooking, and it’s refreshing to find a place that offers such a thoughtful and delicious vegan Burmese menu. The service was warm and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. If you’re curious about Burmese food or looking for excellent vegan options in Wheaton, Pa Lian is a must-visit. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!
