Nu Wa Myanmar Buffet Restaurant

Excellent for simple, everyday normal Burmese food in Burmese style. Abundant portions, impossible to finish. They could perhaps try to cut down on the oil in the curries, but that would be asking too much for a simple wayside Burmese eatery.

It offers Myanmar buffet which is a table full of Burmese curries and side dishes. The price was cheap, only 4000 kyats per person. But, watch out for foodpoisoning if you are a foreigner.

Varieties of food some are a little weird. The waitress could have explained what the food are to make the experience better!

Actually a cool street food place. Guys cook rice & noodle improvisations and it tastes ok (for local standards) and - critical - not floating in oil!!

Fantastic meal course of a dozen dishes. K4500 per person. Staff speaks English.

Proud to be the first one to post a review for this site. After trying the Burmese set in Golden Myanmar in Old Bagan, I was craving for same in Nyaung U where I stay. And found this place not too far from restaurant row. For 4,500 kyat, you got over 15 dishes composed of 4 curries (chicken, pork, fish, mutton), and assortment of vegetables plus watermelon dessert. If you want a local experience, this is the best place to sample Burmese cuisine in Nyaung U. I was one of the rare farangs to wander to this place, so it was funny to see their shocked faces.

They serve Myanmar buffet, all you can eat. Plate is small. Food is bit oily and spicy. We had good experience here tasting the local Bagan food style

Want to try genuine Myanmar/Burma cuisine foods served in genuine Myanmar/Burma style, and pay only genuine Myanmar/Burma people price? If so come to this place. Great tasting foods, large selections, huge table, fast service, mostly local people customers, very reasonable price. About 20 different dishes of foods brought to my table, a plate of fresh raw vegetables and herbs (I think basil and mint leaves, same like for Pho noodle in Vietnam), a big pot of steamed white rice, and a bowl of sour vegetable soup. See photos. There were pork, fish, chicken, beef, eggs, bamboo shoots, fava beans in curry, spicy sauces, and more. I ate the entire dish of fish, was fresh and mostly meat, little bones. I also ate the entire dish of what tasted like cooked lemon peels that look like melon but I don't think they were, unusual, never had it before. The dish of fava beans in yellow curry was tasty too, not spicy hot. I also picked and ate a piece out of other meat dishes but didn't eat the rest, just to taste them. The pot of rice was more than enough for 4 people, I helped myself a few times, didn't have to ask for more. Total was only K4,500, less than US$3 or 3 Euros. I was full, the meal was nutritious and tasty. Only in Myanmar can a meal be so tasty, nutritious and so affordable for low budget traveler like myself. Cheaper than a Mcdonald hamburger but so much better and healthier. This place is only 2 minute walk from Shwezigon Pagoda, one of the best pagodas in Bagan, but few tourists eat here because this place is not dressed up to please tourists.
