MOH Kitchen

Nice family restaurant – cozy and friendly. You can tell they are trying. Food is decent, but the portion is small. I think I’ve had better in Campbell, but I like that this is a mom and pop operation.

Came here on a rainy Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. My husband and I was greeted and waited by a very nice guy. He suggested three dishes and it was good. The tea leaf salad was my favorite.

Racking my brain for a good place to eat with my hubby for our weekly lunch dates, I remembered bookmarking MOH Kitchen a while back and decided to come here (of course, the fact that it is RIGHT NEXT to boba was just a happy coincidence. WINK WINK*).
We got there super early to beat the lunch traffic and were actually the very first people in the restaurant. Parking in the plaza is a breeze, but keep in mind that the stalls are small and with so many eating spots around, it can get crowded very quickly. Inside of MOH, you will find black tables with metallic folded chairs, and light wood walls with minimal decoration. But even though the restaurant was bare décor-​wise, the place felt large and made great use of its space.
The menu is divided into three components: noodles dishes, Thai entrees, and Burmese entrees. My hubby chose the «see kyat kauk swe,» a garlic noodle dish with chicken, and I chose the pumpkin curry with chicken (medium spicy) per recommendation of some of the reviews I had read previously.
Our waiter for the night didn’t introduce himself by name, but was extremely helpful and friendly. He was very accommodating when we asked for certain items and checked on us quite often throughout our lunch, even when the place started to fill up with more patrons. Couldn’t have asked for better service!
The food came out fairly quickly and smelled DIVINE. The first words that came out of both of our mouths were: THAT SMELLS SO GOOD! More than ready to dig in, we tried the noodles first and were completely blown away by how flavorful it was! The taste of garlic permeated the soft egg noodles perfectly and the green onions gave it a nice pop of color. The portion itself was gigantic and great to share between the both of us. While they had served it with an abundance of chicken, my hubby would have preferred having white meat instead of dark meat, as well as dialing back on the salt just a tad.
The pumpkin curry, on the other hand, was wonderfully delicious. The curry was thick and vibrant, coating the jasmine rice in a creamy broth that had undertones of coconut and spices. The pieces of pumpkin tied the whole dish together, as well as the spicy red bell peppers and tender white chicken. The curry was perfect at medium spicy. My hubby had even used some of the curry to flavor the noodles, and surprisingly that worked out just fine.
By the time we got our bill, we instantly knew that MOH was going to be one of our returning favorites. Prices are an absolute steal, especially for food that good!
My hubby and I have always been BIG, BIG fans of Thai food, but after having such an enjoyable lunch at MOH, we clearly have to try more Burmese food. If it is anything like this, then man, have we been missing out!

I wanted to like this place to be honest but it just didn’t meet my expectations. It’s no where near in comparison to Burma Superstar. We were the first party to arrive and took almost 1 hour for the food to be placed on our table. The service was extremely slow. The flavours of the food was pretty decent. The appetizer servings were on the small side, but the entrees were normal.
All of these could be easily fixed for a better dining experience.
I don’t know if I’d ever come back though. It’s something that no long got me very excited to have again.

Experienced the rarity of Burmese food for the first time here, and wow, I will definitely be coming back! The restaurant is nicely themed, clean, and the servers were attentive and speedy. One of them even told me I was eating my nan pya thoke (thick rice noodles with chicken curry) incorrectly, and kindly corrected my etiquette. It tasted much better than it already was. MOH is deliciously unique, has fair prices, but might be a bit too oily for some (mom’s complaint, I didn’t really notice). Either way, I highly recommend!

Tea leaf salad was alright, very acidic, I felt the tea leaf salad at Kyain Kyain was better in taste, size, and price.
Mohinga was good, although I wish there was more, I feel like the flavor is there, but the portion and price is not.
Overall, nice small place, but nothing beats what’s in Fremont. Service was very nice though, friendly and prompt.

I’m really digging the ambiance of this small restaurant. It just feels very inviting. I came here twice, once with a coworker and once yesterday with friends.
I got the garlic noodles with bbq pork the first time and flour noodles with curried chicken and egg the second time. I’m a bigger fan of the garlic noodles, but the curried chicken was not bad. I was just hoping for more of a curry than dry noodles.
They have 4 containers of different style chilis if you like it spicy like my friends and I. pickled chili, dried ground chili, chili garlic, and something else, I forget. They also have fresh chili on request!

The potato farmer and I had the genius idea to go to Olive Garden on Black Friday — neither the potato farmer nor I can pinpoint EXACTLY why, but we have a shameful addiction to Olive Garden’s UNLIMITED salad and breadsticks and soup (although the soup isn’t usually very good). Honestly, we don’t even really take the entrees seriously (pretty sure we just box the entrees up and give them to our brothers), we ONLY go to eat massive amounts of salad and breadsticks. UNFORTUNATELY, the closest Olive Garden to us is in Milpitas, next to the Great Mall. Naively, the potato farmer and I convinced ourselves that the mall couldn’t POSSIBLY be that crowded… especially in the afternoon… everyone usually goes early in the morn right!!!
…W R O N G. Potato Farmer and I circled the parking lot for a good half an hour. I almost had a heart attack multiple times due to the sheer aggression of most of the Black Friday shoppers. The Potato Farmer is no push-​over, and therefore, she dashed, and drove, and weaved with the best of them AND still, we weren’t able to secure a coveted parking space. Gingerly, I convinced the Potato Farmer that it wasn’t worth it – as much as we were looking forward to stuffing our bellies full of delectably warm, buttery, bread and perfectly Italian-​drizzled lettuce, there was no sense in wasting time, raising our blood pressure, and staving off ferocious Black Friday shoppers in order to obtain some.
Unilocaler that I am, I quickly Unilocal’d the nearest, highest rated lunch location. MOH’s is located in a shopping center, only 0.3 miles away from the mall, with a nice big, EMPTY, parking lot (honestly, one could have walked to the mall from this location… HINT…) AHHH… as we pulled into a nice cushy spot directly in front of the restaurant, I felt the drudging weight of ANXIETY and FEAR lift off of my shoulders.
Walking into Moh’s, I was delighted to find a very cute, well-​decorated, little restaurant — simplistic wooden walls, with nice, neat, framed pictures lining them. It was very quiet when we walked in (to my RELIEF), and we were immediately greeted by our waiter. The menu had a good range of dishes although perhaps, for some, it may seem limited (I, however, like not being overwhelmed with too many options). Both the Potato Farmer and I ordered the «Oh Noh Kauk Swe» (chicken coconut noodle soup).
Our dishes came out quickly — and both of us were stunned by how PRETTY our bowls of noodles were — the dish was as adorable as the rest of the restaurant! I came to understand from the menu that the soup we ordered is Burmese, and not Thai (I’ve mostly only had Tom Ka in the past) — the difference was barely noticeable to me. The soup was perhaps, a little more mild than most Thai Tom Ka (I’ve also noticed this in Malaysian food as well — quite similar to Thai, although perhaps, less flavorful) — delicious nonetheless. Moh provided a wedge of lime to squeeze into the soup (my favorite part) and there was a lot of chicken, cilantro, and crispy wonton strips. I really loved this soup — completely took my mind off of breadsticks and salad.
We came, rather late, however (around 2 PM), not realizing the restaurant closes at 3 PM (reopening for dinner at 5 PM). The potato farmer and I had originally wanted to order black sticky rice for dessert — but realized they were closing soon. The waiter initially allowed us to put one more order through, but judging from his expression, we quickly withdrew our order (no protest from our waiter), paid our bill, and left. This was a little off-​putting after our enjoyable meal, however I DO understand that they were probably tired, and wanted to take a break before dinner time.
Overall, this location was quite lovely, I hope to come again soon. Definitely prefer coming here to Black Friday shopping ANY day!

First taste of Burmese food and I’m a huge fan thanks to MOH Kitchen! My coworker and I wanted to experience the rare cuisine and ended up here for an early lunch. Good thing we ate early, because the seating is limited and we beat the lunch rush.
We shared the Tea Leaf Salad, Garlic Noodles with BBQ Pork and the Wetta Thiyathi Chet (Pork Curry with Pickled Mango) with a side of paratha and tea. Thumbs up for everything!
The tea leaf salad was a really interesting dish with a lot of fun toppings. It’s a light starter, but a nice teaser to Burmese food. I recommend ordering for the table so everyone gets to try a taste of this unique appetizer. The noodles were packed with fantastic garlicky flavors! It was a huge portion so we took the leftovers to go. The pork curry was simple, but soulful and paired perfectly with a side of rice and buttery paratha. The meat was super tender and we loved the hints of mango in the sauce.
Even though the menu is pretty small, we would definitely come again to try more Burmese dishes since everything we had was a delight! The lunch special prices were wallet friendly and we left with a full stomach and a great dining experience.

The chicken garlic noodle didn’t taste much like garlic. (Fortunately the chicken was tender.) The pickled tea leaf salad was more like mixed nuts with cabbage and pickles, didn’t taste like tea leaves. The side of coconut rice didn’t taste like coconut at all. The pork curry was tasty though, super tender pork.
I do really like the atmosphere, comfy hole in the wall local diner. The bland food isn’t worthy going out of your way for though. My wife says «you can take this off your bookmarks now.»

Pretty good place for Burmese food. We went on a weekday so it wasn’t too crowded. We opted to eat the Burmese food since we can get Thai food elsewhere.
Started out with the paratha with the potato curry. We also had the tea leaf salad which was good and very refreshing. We tried the see kyat kauk swe which was the flat noodles with garlic and BBQ pork. I didn’t eat the BBQ pork, but it looked good. Ended the meal with the fish in red curry which was good.
It was enough food for our group of three. We didn’t feel rushed in getting kicked out of the restaurant since we hung out even after we completed our meal.

Small place that literally looks like I stepped into someone’s living room because the ceiling is so low! It was pretty packed on a Friday night with all sorts of people, none Burmese that I could see.
Nan Pya Thoke — Flat rice noodle with curried chicken, toasted chickpea flour, a few greens and a sliced boiled egg. Another reviewer said this but I agreed that the flavor is a bit too bland. I added a lot of chili flakes and fish sauce to make up for it. Ingredients tasted fresh.
Mohinga — You can always tell how good a Burmese restaurant is by how they make mohinga, the classic dish of the country. The consistency of the broth was nice and thick, with adequate ground up fish, but again it was missing something taste-​wise. The bowl is smaller than I’ve seen at other places too and the dish came out room temperature, almost too cold.
Friendly folks with decent service but you’ll need to flag them down if you need something.

I don’t get the hype. Maybe I need to try the tea leaf salad? I will say I haven’t ever had Burmese food so I don’t have a comparison, just an expectation for tasty food.
We ordered two dishes to go:
— See Kyat Kauk Swe (flour noodle with fried garlic and BBQ pork): I don’t agree with others rave reviews. Dish is greasy, pork dry, and only garlic flavor is the fried garlic on top. I guess when I think «garlic noodles» as so many Unilocalers referenced, I think garlic paste to really give that garlic punch. However, in this dish you’re literally getting what it states in the description plus plenty of oil.
— Thai Yellow Curry with Shrimp, medium spicy: good, but could use a little more curry flavor. I didn’t think it was spicy at all either; more like not spicy or mild.

MOH means mushroom in Burmese. Although you won’t find any mushroom dish in their menu at all.
Whatever’s in their menu right now I’m betting it is all pretty tasty. My opinion is mostly based on my observation of the regulars in this young establishment. MOH is a baby. At less than one year old. It’s doing great I think. Located in a newer small strip mall with a couple or so beauty salons and a very busy Indian restaurant. Little MOH is a great find.
Now based on our orders I am a fan. Their Tea Leaf Salad or Laphet Toke is excellent. Ample amount shared between two. It’s reasonably priced at $ 8.95. We also shared their BBQ Pork Garlic Noodle or See Kyat Kauk Swe. It’s fried noodle with fried garlic and BBQ pork. $ 8.95. This instantly brought me back to our most recent Hawaii vacation where I fell in love with Star Noodles’ Garlic Noodle. This may not be it but it’s close. Good amount of garlic coats the awesomely cooked noodles. Noodles are not greasy and yet it’s loosely untangled all awashed in that garlic flavor I crave for.
The Paratha as a starter is tasty. Although fair warning I am not a Paratha fan. Never been. So I have no comparison. It’s an Indian flat bread served with Burmese patato curry. $ 3.95. This comes in small triangular pieces.
The fan in me surfaced when I interacted with the sweet male staffers. All smiles and politeness and just very humble. A stark contrast to the rushed, abrupt bordering on rude attitude by one Burmese restaurant. The one that watches their clock like a Nazi and who frowns upon credit card payments beyond two in a large group. Yeah that restaurant. I think I’ll make the trek all the way up, here for the staff and the food.
But alas! I am moving and can’t support little MOH from Denver. You. Yes you. Do me a Unilocalie favor and stop by. Support this up and coming star. With about to be 169 four stars. It’s worth it!
Kyeizu tin ba de!

After a Monday afternoon of shopping, we were glad to stumble upon MOH Kitchen’s great reviews on Unilocal.I had read in a few reviews that it was a «hole-​in-​the-​wall» but when we arrived, I felt that I was misled. The space was small (there was no wait though), well lit, and clean.
We eat Thai cuisine often but this was our first time having Burmese food so we ordered the Wetta Thiyathi Chet (pork curry with pickled mango) and the chicken garlic noodle. The chicken garlic noodle tasted exactly as it sounds. To be honest, I could probably whip up something similar in the comfort of my own kitchen. so I was not very impressed by this dish. Plus, I felt that it lacked some sort of vegetable (maybe that’s not how the Burmese do it though). The pork curry was way TOOOOO salty and there were no vegetables in it either. Everything about the dish was salty. the curry, the pork, the other bits and pieces. I love veggies with all my meal so we probably should’ve ordered a salad or something.
Service was good even though there was only one staff member in the front of the kitchen. Overall, the food was just okay though and I’m not sure I would stop out of my way to return.

MOH Kitchen is a delicious blend of Burmese and Thai food. I had this place bookmarked on Unilocal for awhile before finally giving it a try with my boyfriend tonight.
There was only one other table occupied at 6:30 on a Tuesday night. When we left, nobody new had come in yet, so we basically had the place to ourselves.
We started off with the roti-​like appetizer equivalent that is served with a Burmese potato curry. Super delicious at only about $ 4. We also ordered the samosas, which had a lovely and tidy presentation, but I have had better.
Since I’ve been to plenty of Thai places, but never any Burmese restaurants, I ended up ordering one of the Burmese noodle dishes. I can’t remember the name, but it was the first on that section and it was described as garlic noodles with pork. Really tasty and filling! My boyfriend enjoyed his pad kee mow, which he ordered as spicy. The restaurant also provides four additional spice toppings to customize your dish to your tastes.
Dinner was very affordable, delicious, filling, and quick. I’ll be looking forward to a return visit in the near future.

Yum! A solid Burmese/​Thai restaurant with tasty food and a reasonable price. I have come here twice for lunch; once with a party of six and once with a party of fourteen (yeah I definitely called ahead, they do take reservations). The service was good both times. Note that the restaurant is pretty small though. I believe it had the capacity to seat maybe 30 people at the most.
I had the Chetta Aloo with medium spiciness on my most recent trip and it was very good. The chicken was very tender and flavorful; I really liked the sauce especially with the rice. The medium was just the right amount of kick for me.
I also recommend the tea leaf salad! I love the mix of textures and flavors in the dish; it’s the perfect way to start your meal. Just a little bit of bitter, just a little bit of crunchiness, and just a little bit of acidity for brightness.
Definitely somewhere I would go again.

MOH is a small but bright space that dishes beautifully-​arranged Burmese and Thai food in a no fuss but clean (unlike typical Asian establishments) atmosphere.
Stopped by on a weekday lunch with my Mom and sister, and we were surprised how close it was to Great Mall. I’ve only been to one Burmese restaurant before MOH, and that’s Kyusu in Cupertino. So, I knew I had to try MOH’s tea leaf salad – standard Burmese food. I gotta say that Kyusu makes a meaner tea leaf salad, but MOH only falls shortly behind. There are SO many vegetarian options here, and we started with the tea leaf salad, followed by their pumpkin curry and flat noodles with tofu dish. EVERYTHING was beautiful in color, rich in flavor, and perfect in portion size. Pricing was fair, especially because MOH only had about 7 tables in their entire space, so I can only imagine how difficult it must be to maintain their rent with such a small seating area.
They seem to have a table by their bamboo-​divider/​cashier/​kitchen area explaining Burmese culture, which is interesting and also slightly out of place to me. BUT it’s definitely a different dining experience. Service is hands-​off, but very polite and seem to be mainly run by a male/​female duo. The lunch rush on a weekday wasn’t bad at all – we were immediately seated around 1PM, and there were lots of men in dress shirts and slacks sitting around us. We were a bit misplaced.
They also pay very good attention to customers with food allergies, so don’t be shy to tell them while you’re ordering because they’ll get ticked off if you tell them after your food is run out. (P.S. the «crushed nut-​like powder» that is sprinkled on top of the flat rice noodle dish is actually ground chickpeas! WHAT!) Can’t wait to come back here and try their delicious curries and spiced delights.

Came here for lunch on a weekday. They have lunch specials M-​F.
Nan Pya Thoke — Flat rice noodle with a chicken curry and boiled egg. You mix everything all together when it arrives. The curry sauce given was so little that once everything was mixed it tasted so bland. I had to add sriracha sauce to flavor my dish. My friend also had to add sriracha to her dish too.

I came her for a quick bite with my friends before heading to planet granite.
They weren’t very busy for a weekday night and we were seated right away. The menu has a random assortment of thai and bhurmese food. I have never tries bhurmese food before so I got the tea leaf salad and a noodle dish to share. the noodle dish was very garlicky. It tasted like they doused the entire dish in garlic and then added even more deep fried garlic on top.
The tea leaf salad looked large but when I ate it, I was barely full at all, I feel like they could have added alot more ingredients.
The roti banana was a great way to top off the meal, the food here wasn’t that impressive but our server was soo nice! I really love when stores have great customer service.
Btw, this restaurant literally has no decoration or anything, it is probably the most plainest restaurant I have ever been to.
