Kyain Kyain - Fremont

The food was OK. The service was terrible. We were server food in to go boxes. They don't even have proper cuttlery and crockery. All of this could be forgiven if the food didn't give us food poisoning. We were 6 people in the party and every single one of us got sick the next day. Vomiting and all. I had wanted to come to this place for 2 years. Glad I experienced it once so I know never to come here again.

Hole in the wall, low-key Burmese food. Their egg curry is superb!

How excitement can turn into abject disappointment in one meal. Went in and ordered the Lamb Curry with Paratha. They served it in plastic ware. I asked for a plate. They refused to give one, stating they don’t have one to give.I turned around and saw a family of six eating in bowls. I literally asked “have I done something to offend you?” I was confused as to why they didn’t have… plates and bowls?Anyway. I asked to be rung up so I can eat at home. One star gone for poor in-restaurant experience.Now to the food.All could be forgiven if the food was good. It wasn’t. I ate a third and threw the rest.The lamb was cooked but inconsistently. Pan tossed at best versus cooked in the actual curry. It seems the gravy was added as an afterthought.The gravy was oily and under flavored, and barely constituted an ounce of the container at best. The potato seemed old and wrinkled and crumbled.The paratha was incredibly oily and doughy and felt like biting into oil, but not in a good way. There was an unnecessary heaviness to it.Lastly, the cucumber salad was insanely spicy, like “run and get some ice cream” level of heat. On a cucumber.The cucumber had more heat than the meat.The boorishly large portions of meat were a chore to eat.I absolutely love Burmese food and every Bay Area Burmese restaurant I’ve been to has been absolutely top notch, be it a fancy spot or a simple suburban one.But Kyain Kyain was such a let down.

Good place to get some Burmese food. They can pretty much offer you on your taste. Give it a try.

This was a great find. C2. Egg Curry: such an unique taste. Never thought it would be so good. Fish curry: was good and different base than the egg curry base. M14. Roasted Garlic Noodle: great (my daughter loved it as well without the green stuff Tea Leaf Salad: Great Fast service. Will frequent the place.
