"My colleagues and I had reservations at 12 noon and was seated promptly. Since Burmese restaurant are rear in the area, we were really looking forward to this experience. While we weren't in a hurry, the restaurant was. Drinks were ordered and they pushed to have a food order at the same time. We choose to wait to order the food until the drinks were brought to us. We ordered the Burmese style beef and goat stew as well as the Moh Hin Ga (Fish Noodle Soup). While the sauces of the meat stews were nice, it wasn't spectacular! The stew meats were definitely not tender. If you enjoy tough meat, then these dishes are for you. Additionally, the Moh Hin Ga was lacking in flavor and in my colleagues words: "would not order it again". Also, soft drinks and iced tea and refilled complimentary. Given the rush and the below average experience, will not be going back. Given there their great Yelp ratings, there seems to be a lot of patrons that like it. Maybe we just attended them on a bad day or the normal Chef was not present that day..."

good value, bit crowded at lunch time. but service was good. I had spicy tofu with vegetables and it was really good
Palma
I went there for a business lunch. I Felt rushed by staff to place food order. I specifically asked for my plate to not be spiced. It was very very spicy. Not ver friendly View menu
Golda
Lovely food and fairly fast. Service is adequate but you're there for the food. Tea leaf salad was a hit as were the onion fritters. Fish curry was very light on curry but still worth ordering
Melinda
I read good reviews about this place but ended up very disappointed. The Tea Salad was very sour and my wife ordered fish sauce to make the taste better. I had the Chicken Dau Bauk and the leg was small and very dry. I felt I ate more rice than the chicken, very over priced. This place does not come close to Burma Superstar in SF.

4 of us were visiting from San Francisco, Chicago, Portland and LA and wanted to find a cool, fun spot in DT Des Moines. Bubba sounded fun so we checked it out. So many great things about this spot. The interior decor is amazing. Great bar. It definitely felt more East/West coast than midwest. Great waitress and killer fried chicken. Also, don't miss out on the deviled eggs with bacon. View menu

We enjoyed our meal here very much. We had a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. Even though we all requested different spiciness levels, everything came out exactly as requested. The service was exceptional. We were able to have a conversation without being interrupted, but we never had to wait for service and our water glasses were never empty. We will be going back, and recommending this restaurant to our friends.

You have no idea what you are missing! This place may look fancy on outside and inside but food is more down home cooking southern meal comfort food. You get a lot for your money and flavors out of bounds. If I were you get chicken and waffles with shrimp grits on the side you feel like you are in Nashville, Tennessee or in bayou New Orleans, Louisiana listening to some blues. Yes, must have fine whiskey and don’t have to break a bank to ask for one. There are they have plenty the bang for your buck. I love southern comfort food yes not the healthiest but I enjoy it once a month for treat.
