Amay’s House

What a delightful find. My husband and I had never had Burmese food before...and it was delicious. A ginger salad to start followed up with chicken briyani. The flavours were rich and delicious. The portions were large. The price tag was very favourable. This place is a hidden gem. I would check it out if you like authentic spiced asian cuisine. You will be glad you did!! We will be back.

Unique food. Friendly service. The fermented tea leaf salad was an adventurous choice that turned out to be delicious. The special basil leaf fried rice was fragrant and mouthwatering, even though we asked for it without chili. Both dishes were recommended by our server. Takeout containers cost money but it's nice that they list the prices up front at the cashier.

Homey little place to try authentic Burmese comfort food alongside other Southeast Asian dishes especially on a rainy Vancouver day. Must try the fish soup, tea salad (ask for steamed rice), prata, and #44 chicken dish. The prata is sooo tender, chewy and flaky. Perfect for the faint hearted who want tasty fusion flavours without the spicy chilli.

This place is dope. Huge portions of delicious and, I'm assuming, very authentic Burmese food. I just had the Coconut Milk Noodle Soup (which also contains chicken and quail egg) and an order of Samosas. The sauce/chutney that comes with the samosas is delicious. And with the soup, don't sleep on the fish sauce, it takes the taste to another level. Ground chilies and lime also for garnishing the soup.I had the fish cakes last time. If you're expecting your down home Canadian fish cakes you'll find this is not what they serve. Wouldn't really recommend them but its not like they were bad, just different. Deep fried and somewhat chewier than I expected.Update: I had the Pickled Mango Salad recently and it was very tasty. Will order again when looking to have something light.

I super love this inviting Burmese eatery, with nostalgic paintings. It feels very retro, a blast from the past, and like a safe Southeast Asian haven <3 I like how it's very affordable and more a hole-in-the-wall kinda place. They definitely do not skimp out on the quality of the ingredients.Food always comes in such a comforting way.- The portion is generous, and they taste, the texture, the colour, the smell, and also the visual itself. It's presented well with simplicity.I've heard that the owner is Burmese, and while I cannot attest to its authenticity, I love the diverse flavours and simple and clean taste :) Brought a group of friends from Seattle here, who are avid foodies, and I'm glad to say they truly enjoyed it.Notable dishes (according to the opinions of family, friends and myself):- Tea Leaf Salad (definitely an acquired taste, but if you like it, you like it)- Laksa (great broth)- Beef Rendang (earthy and warm)- Roti Prata (it tastes fresh, and has the options of steamed yellow peas which i really enjoyed as it's unique, potato curry or a creamy egg spread)- Braised eggplant (so tender, yum)

We had the Keema Prata, Burmese Style Biryani & Beef Lemongrass Curry. All of these were incredible tasty, rich in taste, just the right amount of spicy yet surprisingly light. The spices complemented each other and contrasted the meatiness of these dishes. Service was wonderful, very friendly people. The store was decently decorated and very clean. I will certainly be back when I’m in town again.

For me, it was such a beautiful hidden gem and a happy discovery in the neighbourhood.Very welcoming family style diner. My very first Burmese cuisine experience in this city. It becomes my go-to places when I crave for comforting food, ever since my first visit!Food always comes in such a comforting way.- Not only the portion (with which I always either end up so full or couldn’t finish the dish at all), but also the taste, the texture, the colour, the smell, and also the visual itself!It is probably not for me to comment on authenticity, but believe me, this is the type of place where you know after the first taste, that the chef is passionate about what they are doing and always putting so much effort into what they are creating!

Everything I ordered here for dinner tonight tasted like it was sliced/fried/cooked to perfection seconds before it arrived at my table. I have never been to Myanmar, but I imagine this must be exactly what food tastes like there. The laksa was not rich and overwhelming like other Asian cuisines, instead it hit all the right notes of salty/sour/spicy. It was awkwardly silent in the restaurant, so the only thing I would say was missing from the experience was some music to match the exotic food.

I didn't really know what type of food Burmese had so I haven't really gone here before. It turns out they have a mix of malay, singapore, indian, thai cuisines and some burmese specialties.We went for our favorite dishes beef rendang, pad thai, and prata (like roti canai).Beef rendang - wow the flavors are so deep. You realize how much other places have watered down their sauce. This has to be the best beef rendang I have ever tasted (#1 being my Malay friend's family recipe)Pad Thai - also one of the best I have ever tasted, even compared to in Thailand. It was full of tamarind flavor and more saucy.Prata with chicken - definitely very flaky and better than a lot of so called malaysian/singaporean restaurants out there. I would say it is close to the roti canai from Shiok (which is exactly like the ones I had in Malaysia). The dip is a little different - less curry flavor but more onion-y flavor.The best best thing about this place is the price to quality. $12-13 for pad thai or beef rendang and #1 taste. On top of that, the waitress is very sweet and careful. She places our dishes gently so that it doesn't make a big noise. I will definitely come here more often. This is my new go to place.

Even though Amay's House does not have fancy decor or plating, it is a family-run restaurant that serves authentic Burmaese foods that warm your hearts and fill your stomach. Foods are always delicious (I really love their tea leave salad) and the staff are very friendly.
