Chinatown's bustling 7th street, is full of many quick places for lunch—but if you're really looking for some authentic and spicy food, venture down 6th street. For risk-takers and MSG high lovers there's the "Noodle Guy" who makes fresh noodles in the window at Chinatown Express, for Thai enthusiasts there's Kanlaya (more on my beloved Kanlaya some other time), and for the curious there's Burma. Burma, or present day Myanmar is located in southeast Asia bordering China, Thailand and India—and the influence makes for some interesting and delicious dishes. For fatties I highly recommend the Pickled Green Tea Leaf Salad, which was a light and refreshing dish with rich flavors including ground shrimp and peanuts. All of the curry dishes are right on the money and the mango pork is a must as it is a great example of yummy Burmese flavor. The dishes were generous, and the service fast and friendly, and most of the items on the menu were under ten dollars—which makes Burma even more likable.
