Burmese Harp in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, offers a flavorful journey into the rich and diverse culinary traditions of Myanmar. Burmese cuisine is a blend of regional influences from neighboring countries like Thailand, China, and India, creating a distinctive mix of flavors that emphasize fresh, bold ingredients.
At Burmese Harp, diners can explore these authentic flavors through a variety of dishes. The Pickled Tea Salad, a classic of Burmese cuisine, combines fermented tea leaves with shredded cabbage, fried garlic, sesame seeds, and peanuts for a dish that’s as crunchy as it is flavorful. The Papaya Salad offers a fresh, tangy alternative, with green papaya, lime, fish sauce, and dried shrimp.
For heartier options, the Kyae Ohh Garlic Noodle stir fry features rice vermicelli with minced chicken, tofu, and garlic oil, while the signature Mohinga—a comforting fish soup with lemongrass and rice noodles—is perfect for any meal. Desserts like Coconut Sago Cake and Banana Suji round out the menu, offering a sweet and creamy finish to this delightful exploration of Burmese cuisine.
Burmese Harp is also offering Japanese fare including rolls, sushi and fried tempura. The menu also offers a section for poke bowls and hot rice bowls with choice of chicken, beef, shrimp and salmon.
Whether it’s your first time trying Burmese food or you’re familiar with its unique offerings, Burmese Harp provides a warm and authentic dining experience that showcases the bold, vibrant flavors of Myanmar.
Burmese Harp is located at 8510 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, in the former Top Thai space.
