There's a total of two Burmese restaurants in Chicagoland, this one is fairly new so since I was in the area I stopped in. Happy to report it's quite tasty, am 100% expecting I'll go back.
The menu is substantially different from Pa Lian's so it's hard to compare the two, honestly if you're in the area with a car I'd go to whichever is more convenient or the menu that appeals to you more. There's definitely more Thai/Indian influence on this one.
That said, this one has fewer vegetarian options, but it's also accessible via Metra so could be a good day trip in conjunction with something like Wheaton's French Market.
