Burmese food in the US is very different from the food you encounter in the country itself.

Not only is Burmese food in Myanmar far better, but even the small, modest restaurants bring out a whole spread of complimentary small dishes (pickles, salads, crunchy snacks, all kinds of delicious little sides) before the main meal. It's just built into the dining culture there, and it's incredibly generous compared to what you see abroad.

Not sure if it's still there, but Burma Super Star is the one I go to and it's good.

Those restaurants had none of the food I ate in Burma
