FiGaMi Asian Fresh is a casual order-at-the-counter mixed Asian Restaurant located in Phoenix Arizona.
You probably are familiar with Japanese , Thailand, Indian and Chinese Foods but you might be wondering WTFork is Burmese Food? From what I read on Wikipedia Burmese Cusine is a fusion of Thai, Chinese, Indian, and other local influences from minorities and distant cultures.
FiGaMi Asian Fresh offers reasonably priced sushi, bowls, ramen, Asian Specialties and appetizers.
This is a small casual restaurant. It isn’t fancy but it’s neat and clean.
The appetizers were only priced at $3.50 each (subject to change) so I thought they’d be very tiny but I was wrong and tried three.
We started out by sharing the Chicken Meat Puff.
The Chicken Meat Puff Plate is quite large (it’s as big as a sandwich) and is actually TWO puffs. It’s made of puff pastry and is generously stuffed with Indian scented moist white chicken that’s studded with carrots and peas. This whole $3.50 plate is enough for a meal.
Next we tried the Chicken Dumplings ($3.50). (subject to change)
You can tell they are fresh made and are made with fresh juicy flavorful chicken.
The appetizer that was my favorite was the Burmese Style Fermented Tea Salad with Crispy Beans and Vegetables. ($3.50 – subject to change)
This is not like any salad I ever had before. It’s earthy, tangy, crunchy and refreshing. It’s made with fermented tea leaves, crunchy beans, I think peanuts, and vegetables. It’s very unique and interesting.
For dinner my husband had the Indian Style Seasoned Rice with Dark Chicken on the Bone.($8.00 subject to change)
The rice is fluffy and the chicken is moist, flavorful and everything is delicious. Not pictured is a spicy paste to enhance the meal.
I really enjoyed the Burmese Style Fish Noodle Soup. ($6.50 subject to change)nThe Burmese Fish Soup is also known as Mohinga and happens to be the National Dish of Burma.
It’s a thickened fish soup with thin rice noodles, an Asian Marinated jammy egg, crispy noodles and fresh cilantro. Dried hot pepper and a wedge of lemon or lime is served with this dish. I found this extremely delicious. I just love it!
Delicious fresh food that’s different and a very good value.
*******IT’S FORKING CHEAPER THAN FAST FOOD!*****************
All that food was only $25.00 before tax and tip!
The owner was happy to answer questions and served everything with a smile. 🙂
******UPDATE****Went back and the food differed greatly. Prices went up slightly but the tea salad differed and the Burmese fish noodle soup isn’t as good now.
