I had heard a lot about this place, so I really wanted to like it - unfortunately it didn’t quite measure up. This was my first time trying Burmese food, so it could very well be that I went in with the wrong expectations... But I was left a bit underwhelmed. Nothing was inedible, but everything seemed like it could have used more flavor. On top of that, our order was missing the dessert item. When I called the restaurant to ask about the missing item, no one answered, even though it was only 5 minutes after closing. Kind of a bummer experience overall.

Don't miss! Reasonable prices and so delicious! They didn't have prices available on board outside so we actually almost passed this place up. Glad we didn't! The mohinga (Myanmar national dish) is PHENOMENAL (not an exaggeration). I cannot understand what all spices make it so amazing, but it was heaven. The rest of our food was also really good, great date night spot, waitstaff was attentive and helpful. A great spot. We didn't try drinks but I saw others, they looked good. They have a neat little vegetables w/sauce they bring you in the beginning (no charge) also was good.
This is a 4.5. They have some pretty impressive flavors among the dishes served. The tea leaf salad was the least enjoyable, but could be a new flavor profile that was beyond me. It's acidic and super bitter. I could almost get on board, but it was just too much. The deep fried shrimp and vegetables was very good. It was no ordinary batter. The pork with the tomato sause with pickled mango was unreal. It sounds unusual, but the flavor was amazing. The Naan was very good, but a tad pricey. The rice - well seasoned and accompanied the coconut curry very well. I would definitely come back.
Delicious, fresh, and exceptinally well prepared and seasoned food. The Ohno Khauk soup is so good, with substantial and yummy noodles and coconut base. My husband and I shared one order plus a large plate of vegetable curry and that was plenty to satisfy our hunger. The staff we interacted with was exceptionally customer friendly.
Delicious meal and a pleasant experience here. The staff was kind and attentive, and it seemed like they put a lot of care in each of their dishes. I really loved the restaurant decor - true to the restaurant's Burmese identity and simple but not overdone. We ordered the tea leaf salad, coconut curry with mushroom, cauliflower & pickled mango, and the palata & scoops. I highly recommend all of them! Would love to come back for brunch. As a note - you may have to verify if certain dishes are vegan even if they're labeled that way on the menu (ex. the coconut curry comes with egg). I only wish that there was a vegetarian version of the tea leaf salad :)
Delicious food and flavors! The Ohno Khauk noodle soup is amazing.
Very approachable introduction to Burmese food. I really like the decor and the ambiance of the restaurant. Food was delicious and good size portions to share allowing lots of variety. Owner is amazingly nice and extremely welcoming. She has such a passion for her food it's worth checking out.
*COVID REVIEW* I've been excited to try Thamee since it opened and was thrilled to find they had amazing vegetarian options during Restaurant Week. It did not disappoint! The pickled tea leaves salad, coconut mushroom noodle soup, catfish soup, and sanwin makan (semolina cake that was basically cheesecake) were all typical Burmese and accessible at the same time. They packaged and labeled each item perfectly which allowed us to pick it up with confidence and know exactly what was what when we got home. I'll definitely be back
