Reviewing this restaurant after having dinner here twice. Once last weekend and the first time back in November of last year.
Our first visit in November was excellent. Everything we ordered was fantastic and the service was great. We raved about the restaurant to family members that lived nearby and even purchased a gift card for them.
Our second visit last weekend wasn’t as great, but it was still enjoyable. We had Lychee Sake on the back patio while we waited for out party to arrive. Our server was good although he seemed a bit irritable and in a rush. The food was excellent although the portions seemed a bit on the small side. Highly disappointed in the Garlic Noodles with chicken that barely tasted like garlic and only had a few tiny scraps of chicken in it. Wouldn’t recommend that dish but everything else was great.
The restaurant itself is on the small side and would probably feel a bit claustrophobic during busy shifts but they have a nicely decorated back patio with plenty of tables. Parking can be a bit tough on busy nights since it’s mostly street parking and downtown can get pretty busy.
This restaurant was introduced to me by a friend about a year ago, and I’ve been coming back ever since. Before trying this place, I had never had Burmese food, but honestly, everything I’ve tasted here has been absolutely delicious.
The coconut rice is one of my favorites, and all of their signature drinks are amazing. The spices and flavors are rich, comforting, and incredibly unique without being overwhelming. The staff is always friendly, and this has easily become one of my go-to spots anytime I’m in the Bay Area.
If you’ve never had Burmese food before, the best way I can describe it is like a blend of Thai and Indian cuisine, but with its own unforgettable twist. And a little tip: try the ginger tea. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever tasted and absolutely worth ordering.
Aung Maylika offers an incredible dining experience with truly authentic Burmese flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. The salmon was a standout—fresh, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. It’s a fantastic spot for families as it is very kid-friendly, and the menu has a wide variety of delicious vegetarian options that don’t compromise on taste. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is attentive. Whether you are a fan of traditional Mohinga or looking to try something new, this place is a gem for authentic Southeast Asian cuisine!
My first time here and food, service, and ambiance is 5/5. I have nothing but good to say about this place. I think I’ve had Burmese food twice before but it has been awhile.
As you walk in you are greeted by one of their staff and we are seated right away. It not a huge restaurant but it’s not small one either. You can smell the food as you walk in and it smells so good it makes you hungry even more.
The decor is beautiful. It has a glimpse of their culture shown in paintings. I loved looking at them. The place also looks clean and tidy.
For the food we ordered a couple of appetizers and main dishes to share. Love, loved the salt and pepper tofu. It’s a good starter, but don’t forget the sauce. We also ordered samosa’s which had good flavor inside and crispy on the outside.
For the main dishes we had: Spicy noodle with shrimp, Traditional Red Curry Chicken, and MayLika’s Fiery with tofu and beef. All these dishes had wonderful flavors and they did not skimp on the protein. Last but not least we shared a dessert. The Dubai Dessert Palatha. I’ve never had anything like it. Love the palatha and ice cream combination. We have to have that ice cream.
Note: the chicken in the Red curry was so tender and not dry (as chicken in curry’s tend to be dry at times).
The service was awesome. They kept our water cup filled. And we stayed to chat for a while after we ate and they didn’t rush us out.
Visited this place this past Sunday with my parents. I was happy they served gluten free options. Now my mom can enjoy another food spot that is close to home! Must have the tea leaf salad, quite the flavors you taste after each bite. We always order this. Menu was filled with different items to pick from. I enjoyed the tropical fruit punch juice, it was refreshing. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. Free parking next to restaurant. We had a nice stroll by the shoreline after we ate. It was nice vibes. Will definitely come again, good service!
