19th Street in Yangon's Chinatown is a vibrant and bustling destination renowned for its lively atmosphere, delectable street food, and dynamic nightlife. As night descends, 19th Street becomes a hub of social activity. The street is dotted with bars and beer stations where patrons can enjoy cold beverages, including the popular Myanmar Beer. The street reflects the rich tapestry of Myanmar's multicultural heritage, blending Chinese traditions with local Burmese culture.
Famous for its vibrant nightlife and street food, especially grilled meats and seafood, this area comes alive in the evenings with locals and tourists alike.
The area can get smoky due to open grills, cigarette smoke, and traffic. If you have respiratory conditions (like asthma), consider visiting earlier in the evening when it’s less dense or wearing a mask. Carry hand sanitizer and avoid touching your face after handling menus, money, or public seating. If you have food allergies (e.g., peanuts or shellfish), prepare a translated note in Burmese explaining your allergy.
Use a crossbody bag or a money belt, and keep phones and wallets secure and out of reach. Drink responsibly and stay with people you trust. GPS or translation apps can be a big help in case you get lost or need assistance.
Pick your own skewers of meat, seafood, or vegetables from trays in front of restaurants. Go beyond BBQ and try Shan noodles, tea leaf salad (lahpet thoke), or Chinese-style buns. Myanmar Beer is the go-to drink, often served ice-cold in large mugs. Go in the Evening (after 6 PM) that’s when the street comes alive with food, lights, and crowds. Arrive early if you want a seat at a popular spot. Weekends have a festive vibe, but are also more crowded.
