Thamee

My boyfriend and I came here during our D.C. visit last month and are sad to hear that it had been closed since Friday. As someone who grew up eating my mom’s home cooking of Burmese foods, my favorite dish from Thamee was mohingar. The flavors of the fish, lemongrass and spices in the soup were rich and flavorful. It was also authentic and tasted just like my mom’s cooking. The seared eggplant dish, beef curry, and white fungus salad were also my favorites. Wishing the owner and all the staff members at Thamee the best with future endeavors!!!

fifth trip to thamee and first time i’ve stopped eating for long enough to snap a photo. the mohingar - a rich, brothy, catfish noodle soup with a super satisfying fried wonton topping is the highlight of the mains, but it’s the smaller bites that really shine. don’t shy away from the tea leaf salad and my personal favorite, the white flower mushrooms, a textural delight. dine in available upstairs and on their patio. come hungry and come often.

Thamee is an absolute treat! From the delicious food to the wonderfully kind staff to the intentional manner in which they operate their business (living wages, healthcare, etc), this restaurant is a true gem and should be seen as a pillar and example for the culinary community here in DC. I was so excited to learn of their re-launch as a fast casual restaurant (with outdoor patio) that I had to stop in for a taste of their soft opening. The Bago Club (citrus forward) was a refreshing treat after the steady heat of the day. The A Methar Hin (beef curry) with golden rice was so tasty, with a rich, complex flavor profile. I enjoyed eating and reading on their patio, where I was even able to close my.eyes and get lost in the various sounds of H St life from the alley to the main thoroughfare. This is a fantastic local spot, and I look forward to coming in again soon.

Can I eat this everyday?? I hadn’t had Burmese food before but the pictures on UberEats looked so delicious, I had to try Thamee. My meal traveled well, smelled great, and tasted even better. I had to hide from my family to keep a bite to myself 😂. They open on UberEats at 4:00 starting on Wednesday I think so plan accordingly. I also loved the packaging and the cool notes. You can tell this place has heart.

There was a wait to pick up but there were social distancing markers so you knew where to be. I think it was more a communication issue with the customer in the front of the line not knowing they could go inside. Once inside i gave my name. There's several items you can pick up like sauces and beers from local businesses. It took less then 5 minutes to get my head. I ordered ahead and arrived past my pickup time but my food was still super hot when i got home 20 minutes later. The tandoori chicken sammie was a promotional item for Saturday sammies. Made by RAMMY Rising Culinary Star Nominee Chef Jocelyn Law. These flatbread sandwiches are made from parathas, flaky, unleavened breads originating from the Indian subcontinent. My take? Honestly incredible. I was skeptical actually and after the first bite i was hooked! Seriously so good. 10/10 recommend if they bring it back. Also had the beef rendang and it was Follow me on Instagram for more best bites: @alixtakesabite

This was my first time eating Burmese food and I will definitely be going back (next time to try dinner)! We got the bottomless brunch that includes one app and one entree plus unlimited drinks (alcoholic or non) for $35. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty and filling. A special shout out to the vegetable samusas (app) and the Palata + Curry. The house made flatbread that came with the curry was phenomenal. The Breffis Sammy was also great; the milk bread was some of the best bread I’ve ever eaten and the tomatoes were so fresh. I also can’t forget to mention the staff. One of the owners welcomed us upon arrival and was so sweet the entire time.

We came for the food but stayed for both the food and the drinks. Every cocktails is as pretty as it is tasty. By the time we finished eating we were too full for dessert. The fish shrimp, Khao suew and meatballs were all particularly tasty. The only miss was the veggie fritters. We'll definitely be back.
