"Spicy noodles from Shan State, a rural, mountainous region in eastern Myanmar bordering Thailand, Laos and China, may be the best. You can try them at 999 Shan Noodle Shop, a spotless hole-in-the-wall just behind Yangon City Hall."

Michael Hodson

"Whilst there are other dishes on the menu, it would be a crime not to try a Shan Noodle dish at a Shan Noodle Restaurant. I loved my Sticky Shan Noodle Soup for just 1500 KYAT (90 pence/$1.08)."

The Myanmar Times

"999 Shan Noodle Shop, a favourite among locals, expats, and backpackers alike, serves up sticky, chewy, satisfying rice noodles that more than stand up to a punchy garlic-and-chilli dressing and stick to your bones for hours after."

Laura Chung

"Because I’m a believer that the best way to discover a culture is through the food, I couldn’t wait to try the shan noodles at 999 shan noodle shop. It’s the city’s best noodle shop and at $1 it was amazing. It’s like comfort food in a bowl."

Kate Springer

"These wide, flat noodles come in all kinds of textures but we went with the “sticky” variety from 999 Shan Noodle Shop. This was hands-down the best place we ate all weekend, and we’re craving another bowl of the spicy, tomatoey goodness as we type. "

Duncan Forgan

"There are different versions, but common threads usually involve chicken, garlic, turmeric, tomatoes and fish sauce with Chinese greens to garnish. A popular venue for the dish in Yangon is 999 Shan Noodle Shop, which has the tourist stamp of approval."

A British Girl Abroad

"I was extremely tempted just to order one of the delicious dishes I had tried on my first trip to Yangon, from the Shan Noodles (shown here “dry” with soup on the side) to the wonderful soft Burmese tofu."

Cristina Dura

"You should try the sticky noodles (you can chose between chicken or beef) which you can have as a dish or the Shan noodle soup. Both recipes are not spicy and with plenty of flavors. The portions are not huge but enough for a lunch."

Ivona Hrnčiarová

"Our first meal in Yangon is a great choice! Small noodle shop with a little absurd name “999 Shan Noodle Shop” hidden in the streets of Downtown."

Emily Cass

"The highest rated restaurant in the whole of Yangon. Noodles galore! Sticky Shan Noodles for the win. So delicious!"
