Mom's Special Cooking
Mohinga, the fish chowder, and a green tea salad, on a menu the kitchen fronts with six Burmese dishes by name.1
Why go
The kitchen calls itself an authentic Burmese restaurant serving home-style dishes from family recipes, and it publishes its own shortlist rather than leaving you to guess: Malar Mee-Shay, green tea salad, mohinga as a fish chowder, NanKyi salad, Shan noodle soup and Kyay Oh Sichat.1 That is a Burmese menu rather than a broader Southeast Asian one, which is worth saying because delivery platforms file this kitchen under Thai and it is not.
Order this / avoid
- Order: mohinga, and the green tea salad. Shan noodle soup if you want the third. All three are on the kitchen's own signature list.1
- Avoid: turning up between three and four. The kitchen shuts for an hour in the middle of every day, seven days a week.1
What locals & experts say
- No named critic has published on it.
Good to know
- Hygiene: there is no published inspection record for this business, which is missing data rather than a finding.2
- Hours: 11am to 3pm and 4pm to 9pm, every day.1
- Getting there: 948 Payton Gin Rd, in North Austin.1
Verdict
could-visit — A Burmese kitchen on Payton Gin Road putting forward mohinga, green tea salad and Shan noodle soup as its own headline dishes, open seven days with a break between three and four. It sits mid-ladder because nothing has been written about it by a named critic, and because the premises has no published inspection record of its own.
