"Pa Lian was recommended to me by a Facebook friend, and I'm super glad I went! My friend and I went on an investigatory mission to check it out today. Having never tried Burmese cuisine, I can say I expected it to taste like Thai food. Actually, aside from some cilantro and garlic here and there, it's not like Thai cuisine at all. First of all, they make their own tofu on site... out of CHICKPEAS. Chickpea, obviously soy free tofu. It kind of has a hummus vibe. We had a deep fried chickpea tofu cutlet appetizer with sweet/spicy salsa. Really it was unlike anything I've ever tried. We ordered and shared two main dishes. Burmese cuisine is famous for tea leaf salad, which reminded me of a savory, well herbed and spiced, non-sweet coleslaw with nuts in it. Tea leaves add a tiny bit of bitterness which is ameliorated by lime juice. We also had an udon noodle curry dish. This was not at all similar to an South Indian curry, so it wasn't soupy or saucy. Instead, the curry was applied with the lightest of touches, which made sense because the udon were lighter and fluffier than traditional Japanese udon and a heavier curry would have weighed them down too much. These are restaurant owners who actually know what vegan means and respect it. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous, so bring your own to-go containers. I am excited to return to Pa Lian. They are nice people. That said, for oil-free and oil-limiting dieters, it's the opposite of an oil-free restaurant and in my opinion, you'd be better off modifying recipes from a Burmese cookbook at home. Gluten and soy free people though are in luck: homemade chickpea tofu, anyone? For someone who is vegan for the animals like me, Pa Lian is a fantastic find, and it's healthier than most restaurants."

Completely different food than anything I've ever had. The menu shows what is vegan, but they can point out what other items can be made vegan upon request. Very knowledgeable.

I wanted to try this place for a long time and finally get the opportunity that there are many vegan options that are clearly marked. everything I tried was very tasty including the kichererbsalat tee leaf. this is a wonderful little business that really needs support. how nice to have access to burmese.

I recently had some friends in town and wanted a nearby restaurant with both vegan and non-vegan options. The owner was very friendly and made suggestions on dishes that were vegan and house specialties that could be made vegan. Everything was excellent fresh, well made, good presentation, and delivered quickly. We will definitely go back! Ver carta

Stopped in for lunch today with another vegan friend and were blown away by the quality of the food and the exceptional service. This restaurant offers a number of vegan options and can vegaanize many others. I had never eaten Burmese food before and assumed it was like Thai, but I quickly learned the cuisine is very different. The owner was so attentive and explained the difference. I look forward to going back again very soon. BTW--Happy Cow would not let me give it a 5 star rating since it is not 100% vegetarian/vegan, but the place deserves it!

Newly vegan, we are exploring restaurant options in our area (what a delightful way to be shaken out of old habits and were happy to find Pa Lian. The owner was charming and happily pointed out the many vegan options on the menu (and those that could be converted). The chickpea tofu appetizer was accompanied by a tasty sauce (like a thai sweet chili sauce but not cloyingly sweet). The tea leaf salad was a fun find with lots of great texture and flavors unlike anything I have had before. The Kyarzan Thoke was pleasant comfort food (I'd put it in a pad thai type category in that respect). Tasty but needed a little lift...but then again the broth at the start of the meal was so nicely spicy tha...
