Burma
Washington's Chinatown has always had an interesting mix of restaurants. Yes, there is Chinese, but also Indian, Mongolian, an Irish pub, and Burmese!
For those of you who've never had Burmese food, go now and find the nearest Burmese restaurant and hope that it's as good as Burma. Somewhere between Indian and Thai (with a tasty focus on ginger), the cuisine is a little of both, but something all it's own.
Located around the corner from Mary Surratt's boarding house (where John Wilkes Booth stayed) and up a dingy flight of stairs, the first thing you'll notice about Burma is the ambiance is terrible! But don't let that put you off (likewise, don't be put off by the slightly off color in my picture of the green tea leaf salad.
It's best to go in a group so that you can sample as many dishes as possible (or just keep going back). It's an inexpensive treat in DC and off the beaten tourist path of Fuddruckers, Hard Rocks, and TGI Fridays.
Dish: Don't miss the green tea leaf salad!
