Local, "Mom & Pop Shop" Feel. Friendly Staff. Delicious noodles. - Edit
I visited this noodle shop in April 2019, so my memory has faded a bit.
Read moreBut this place gave me the impression of being a must-go / tourist friendly spot, which I saw as a great thing: it was a nice introduction to local & vegan food in Yangon.
The staff accommodated my vegan dietary preferences & were friendly. Of course, the noodles are "cheap" by western standards: the prices cater to the locals. "Cheap" has a negative connotation, so I'd rather not describe any food, especially while traveling, that way.
I'm uncertain how the scene is in Yangon especially with recent events, but if you find yourself there: this noodle shop is worth your time

Soups cooked with chicken broth - Edit
Tasty and inexpensive noodle dishes. The „vegetarian“ soups however are made with chicken broth according to the staff.

Neither worth the money nor the hunger! - sad experience - Edit
Dont go for typical Shan dishes - better go to Shan Kitchen. Its definitely worth go there as prices are comparable but 999 Shan is really not worth the money (instant soup, sold us shan noodles but quite sure they were normal rice noodles). 999 Shan noodles were also no good service, waiters were stressed and the location is not really pleasant.

Good food but careful with bill - Edit
Good noodles and service. Be careful and check bill as I went twice and both times they tried to add extras I hadnt ordered onto the bill. Be careful!

Expected more... - Edit
This noodle shop was deemed the place to be for Shan noodles. I was quite disappointed after having the tofu noodles... it was overly sweet. The avocado shake was very good though!

Great noodles, super cheap - Edit
Really enjoyed trying delicious Burmese noodle dishes. Waiters had good English and knew which vegan was. Sticky noodles with tomato sauce were unreal. Relatively small dish but each comes with soup, pickles and free tea for 2000kyat - £1!!!!

Great food, fast service - Edit
This place was super busy when we arrived but they sat us right away and the food came out quick! Vegan order: firm tofu salad and Shan noodle soup. Delicious! Tell the server you want to food “thathalo” to confirm it will be veggie.

Rather good - Edit
Been here twice during my trip to Myanmar. It's rather clean compared to Myanmar standard. Food is lovely with a variety of vegetarian food. Staff speak English pretty well. Price is reasonable.

Delicious soups! - Edit
My boyfriend and I both ordered soup (traditional Shan noodle soup sticky Shan noodle soup). We both really liked the flavours & soups can easily be veganized. Just say you want something "thathalo" & the staff will help you. Good value for money!

Very limited vegan menu but good noodle soup - Edit
The place is relatively famous and provides Shan noodle dishes. Only two items of a long list are vegetarian/vegan (the waiters know which ones): the fried tofu and one sticky noodle soup. The soup is served with a broth that appeared vegan too. It is inexpensive (1,900 kyats) but portions are not huge. The food is good but has nothing exceptional. The staff is efficient and relatively friendly but is a bit in a hurry for everything, which makes the experience a bit stressful. On the whole, I don't think the place worth the try, except for extreme curiosity about Shan noodles.
Read morePros: inexpensive, good noodles
Cons: very limited vegan menu, not 100% vegan, vegan options not labeled, crowded

Delicious cheap food! - Edit
I had a noodle salad and it was so tasty (and only 1900 kyat for a pretty filling portion)! It came with a couple of other bits and and bobs (small bowl of vegetarian soup and a spoonful of pickled vegetables), which is always a nice touch. They also offer tea free of charge. Staff are friendly and attentive. My favourite place to eat in Yangon so far.

delicious Burmese food - Edit
You can get a main for 1900 kyats. I tried the noodle “salad” (with sticky noodles and veggies) because I wasn’t so sure about the broth of the other dishes and it was seriously good. The staff is super friendly and they know exactly what’s vegan or not. You get free tea.

Delicious and inexpensive! - Edit
This was the first place we visited for food after arriving in Yangon - we located it easily (there are two on the same street? I believe they’re the same business. We went to the smaller of the two) Our hostel had been kind enough to write us some text explaining our diets and they understood (though did make a few jokes about it being chicken...) I had the noodles and my partner had the Shan tofu soup! Both delicious. We spent 6000K - basically $6.00AU - on an entree, two mains and two cokes! We got free tea and soup too! Definitely worth a visit.

Poor Food - Edit
we came here because of tripadvisor but the food wasnt good at all. the fried tofu was only Oil - i couldnt find the Tofu. the soup wasnt special. there are only Tourists no Local People and there is a fee you have to Pay for which is not noted on the Card. you get fast food there and Please leave soon because they Need your table for the Next ones.

nah - Edit
staff (a juvenile boy) didn't understand when I asked for a vegan version, he said the dish was vegan but asked me if I wanted pork or chicken afterwards... the dressing tasted a lot like honey and after reading the other reviews on here the noodles probably weren't vegan too. meals look pretty small but are filling if you're not that hungry. meals are pretty cheap but notice that they charge you 165 kyad as a service fee and that you basically loose 95 kyad every time because they don't have notes smaller than 100.
Read morewill not go here again.
Pros: kinda tasty (except for the free soup)
Cons: staff didn't understand what vegan means - food no, cross contamination , service fee
dgravity
Agree with the cross contamination, and the waiter did serve me a complimentary chicken soup despite me saying that I was vegan.
Read moreThe service fee is actually a government fee so it's not something they can do much about. Also, I think most foreigners can do without the 0.07$ (95K) they don't give back :)

Should be 5 stars! - Edit
Absolutely delicious soups and salads! Great place to try a different kind of cuisine safe in the knowledge that it is vegan friendly. Whilst I was there all the staff spoke great English and understood vegan straight away. Unfortunately they didn't have vegetarian wontons but the Shan noodle soup and salad I had more than made up for it! Had great flavour and very filling, priced at 1200 kyat. Cute little restaurant with well appreciated aircon!
Read morePros: vegan adaptable dishes (delicious), well spoken English , aircon!!

Easy to order vegan, yummy too - Edit
The lady at the register understood right away that I was after vegan food and told me all the options I had (different noodle types for the soups). The soup was good. Unfortunately I didn't try any of the vegan extras.

Cons: mainly serves meat
