Royal Myanmar Restaurant

Finally found a proper Burmese restaurant in Toronto. The green tea salad was so good, must get each time.
The coconut soft and hard noodle dish was amazing. Very good flavor and texture. Have to go!

Healthy and Delicious.
My wife and I ate there everyday for a week after discovering it. I was receiving laser treatments at Meditech across the street. The hosts are friendly and charming. I really think that we were eating authentic Myanmar home cooking. My wife was surprised that she lost weight on the trip, but then she found out that the coconut oil and milk used in the cooking does promote weight loss! We love Myanmar food now.

Second time here for lunch, and I think I’ll be back every day this week! Super delicious food, friendly service, and great prices make this place the absolute best pick for food in this neighborhood. Highly recommended!

When I lived in Scarborough years ago, we would frequent this restaurant near Cedarbrae Mall called Mandalay. I would always order one of the Burmese curries because it was like nothing I’ve ever tasted before. When my neighbour told me about Royal Myanmar, I figured I must try it out rather than driving all the way to Scarborough.
It’s located in a teensy plaza on Horner Ave. For those of you who aren’t from the hood, Horner isn’t really filled with restaurants but rather a mix of industrial, low-​rise apartments, residential, factories, you name it.
Anyway, I decided to order the Beef Curry, which was the special of the day. It came to $ 6.75 (taxes in — note: cash only). The pic doesn’t really do it justice because there was actually a lot of food in the container; I was only able to eat half the rice and ²⁄₃ of the curry. The curry itself was quite mildly spiced and not saucy like most curries I’m familiar with. The meat was very tender — I could tell there was a lot of preparation that went into the dish. What I really enjoyed was the peas soup; it was surprisingly light and very flavourful. The best part of the dish was this dried chili condiment that was to be served on top of the curry. It was salty, spicy, crunchy and had the right amount of heat.
I would definitely return but I would try another dish next time.

Service could be faster but I’m still giving this give stars because the food is 100% the best in the city. I live in the east end but would happily travel for hours to have the amazing khauk swe thoke. My father is Burmese and I am SO happy to finally have a Burmese restaurant in the GTA!

Delicious, carefully prepared and home-​style Burmese noodle soups and salads reflecting a cuisine that combines Indian and Chinese influences. The prices are also extraordinarily affordable for the amount of effort and care put into the cooking ($ 6 – 7 for a bowl of noodle soup!).
Ordered coconut chicken noodle soup (oh no kaut see), ginger salad (Ginn thoke) and catfish noodle soup (mohinga — classic noodle soup eaten throughout Burma). The owner makes the rice noodles fresh and sources her ingredients locally. The ginger salad is a combination of crunch from fried beans and toasted sesame seeds, and sour and tangy from the fermented ginger and lime and sweetness from fresh shallot slices. Ask for fresh chilies if you order this. The mohinga is authentic — umame broth made from catfish and banana stem slices, whole sweet shallots, and seasoned with coriander leaf, lime and crunchy fried lentil «pancake». The oh no kaut see noodles are satisfyingly chewy, the broth creamy and tasty. I will be back to taste other dishes in the menu.

So great to have a Burmese restaurant in Toronto. It is only a few weeks old so I recommend calling ahead to check if they are open. If you’re looking for authentic Burmese dishes, this is the place. We’ve been twice and have tried 7 dishes, they’ve all been great.
