Burma Superstar's quieter, equally delicious cousin
Mandalay offers the same caliber of Burmese food as its famous neighbor without the crazy waits. The tea leaf salad is just as good, the samusa soup is comforting perfection, and the atmosphere is more relaxed. It's the local's choice when you want great Burmese without the tourist crowds.
