Business Spotlight: Yoma Myanmar

Yoma Myanmar, a beloved staple located at 713 E Garvey Ave in Monterey Park, has been serving authentic Burmese cuisine since 2006. The restaurant is owned by Joan Lam, who brings over 15 years of experience and reflects her deep passion for Burmese food. Joan aims to satisfy longtime enthusiasts and introduce new customers to the vibrant flavors of her homeland, which is influenced by Thai, Chinese, and Indian cultures.

The menu features a range of standout dishes that showcase the rich diversity of Burmese cuisine, from tender shan noodles topped with braised chicken to comforting dishes like goat curry, tea leaf salad, and fried samosa. Yoma Danpauk (Burmese-style chicken biryani) is a must-try for something unique. Joan also recommends other specialties like crispy Burmese beans, fried tofu, mohinga (fish noodle soup), and fish curry. Starting in January, they're also serving ramen noodles, adding another layer to their diverse offerings. Whether you prefer spicy, sour, or savory, there's a dish to satisfy every craving.

Joan is grateful for the loyal community support that has kept the restaurant thriving for over a decade. Though the setting is humble, the food shines, offering an unforgettable experience for anyone eager to explore Burma's rich and diverse flavors. Yoma Myanmar continues to be a treasured gem in the San Gabriel Valley, welcoming regulars and newcomers alike. https://yomamyanmartogo.com/
