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!!!
November 2025
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.
November 2025
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...
