We recently celebrated a small birthday lunch and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service was impeccable: migurl was and continues to be super attentive and friendly. Food is always great, no qualms ever.

We arrived early to celebrate my friend's birthday. They had already set aside the window table that we requested despite the fact that it was a larger round table that could seat up to five people. They sat the two of us promptly and we had a lovely time. They did everything promptly in fact, though we did not feel rushed. The food was even more delicious than I had remembered.

This spot is a crowd pleaser. A fave for bdays, dates, and for bringing family & friends visiting the Bay. Everyone I bring finds something they like and they usually want to go back. My favorites: sesame tofu, coconut rice, shan noodles, tea leaf salad, samusa soup, mango tofu, green beans, broccoli, and so many more dishes. So many wonderful textures and flavors.

We had a great dinner here!!! The portions are huge and the outdoor seating area is great for groups. We enjoyed the tea leaf salad, samusa, palutha, chicken noodle soup and the garlic eggplant. Lovely service!

We love Burma! We moved it off town 10 years ago but every time we come back from a visit we come to Burma!! It's consistently delicious! And the staff are always super friendly! Happy Holidays Burma Superstar!!!

The portions are large and easily serve 2-4 adults The tea salad is terrific as is the lamb. Chicken curry and fried catfish disappointed . The small pitcher of Burma beer is perfect for two.

Food is consistent...the chicken with mint was good sized portion and very tasty. We did feel it was overall a bit salty especially the eggplant, but we might be sensitive.

We came here to celebrate a birthday and I reserved a table for 3 outdoor seating. The weather was perfect. Parking can sometimes be hard to find and I found a space about 3 blocks away near the Alameda High School, unmetered street parking! So plan in advance for parking time. We ordered food to share which was the famous delicious tea leaf salad & samusa soup lunch special, mango chicken and garlic noodles, coconut rice and string beans, all very delish. And we had enough food for my friends to take home, as there were 3 of us. Oh and the drinks we ordered were refreshing: cucumber with gin, ginger lemonade and Thai iced tea!
Great food and great service as always and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Great service. We sat outside, it was very nice until a truck drove by slowly with their music really loud. It would be nice if there is a noises level control on those street. Food was good.

Great food, great cocktails. I was eating with friends and we had a mixed vegan/carnivore group, and everyone was accommodated and happy with the food

Anything with lamb is out of this world good. Some of the best Asian food I have ever eaten, it's almost not fair. 10/10
