Naing Myanmar Family Restaurant - Lansing (MI)

5 /5 PD Wilks: Casual place with some really good different food options. Tea pickled leaf with bean salad was really different and very good and had a nice spicy kick. Tom yum soup was again different than the Thai norm but was quite good. The spring rolls were just ok, nothing special. Garlic chicken, pad thai, thai curry, and maggi goreng were all good choices for entrees. The Thai hot tea was also good. The only hitch here is this is a small family run restaurant and grocery, so if they are busy at all - be prepared to wait a while for your food. Be patient as everything appears to be fresh made and is well worth the wait. The asian grocery attached is also worth a stop. They have a large variety of specialty items.

2 /5 Justin Schneider: I get that this place is new and trying something different, but overall it was average at best. The dining room was awkwardly quiet—some background music would go a long way. Greeting and seating were quick, which I appreciated. I ordered hot jasmine tea with artificial sweetener, but they only offer sugar, which isn’t ideal for diabetics. The samosas were average, though the spring rolls were very good and the dipping sauce was tasty. The Tom Kha soup was disappointing. Something overpowered the coconut flavor—possibly the galangal—and it lacked the creamy, rich texture I was expecting. It was also quite watery. I barely ate it and let them know I didn’t care for it, but there was no offer to remove it from the bill or provide any sort of compensation. The shrimp fried rice was also average. It came out very quickly and slightly chilled, which made it feel less than fresh. I also prefer shrimp without the tails left on. Once my food arrived, no one checked back on me or brought the bill. I eventually had to go to the register and wait for someone to come out from the back. Unfortunately, this experience didn’t give me a reason to return.

5 /5 Joseph Sosa: The food they serve here is hard to find in big cities. The fermented tea leaf salads and somtum here are well made. We always stop by whenever we are in Lansing. Its an Asian grocery store that serves food. For now its a take out restaurant, but soon they will have a sit-down eating area. I cant talk highly enough on the dishes they prepare. If youve never tried Lao cuisine, start with the thai dishes and work your way into the Lao dishes.

5 /5 nope donotwant: This is very authentic food that is delicious. I’m eating the fried Gord and I ordered the salad. Really incredible flavor on the sauce for the fried Gord. The salad is incredible! it’s a tiny hole in the wall and I took a chance because you’re literally sitting on a stool and a tiny table outside looking at the parking lot, but the food is worth it. The prices are good. And there’s a little store attached to the window where you get your food because it’s not a normal restaurant, (but sooo flavorful!!) The things in the store are cute! The woman who took care of my food is extremely friendly.

5 /5 Ishan Biswas: Definitely my favorite restaurant in Lansing and maybe in all of Michigan. Every dish I’ve had is insanely flavorful and tastes full of love. Favorites are tea leaf salad, chicken curry with roti, coconut chicken soup, garlic chicken, but truly everything I’ve had is delicious. A gem!
