Super great experience! The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was great! We ordered the samosas, the tea leaf salad, and the dry curry vegetables and everything was so good! I want to go back and try more but it will be hard to stray from these items.

The best Thai food I’ve had since moving to sac!! All of the dishes we got were so fresh and perfectly seasoned and cooked. We got spicy Thai salad with beef, basil stir fry with pork belly (really excellent pork belly not fatty at all and very crispy), panang curry with chicken, and Kao Soi noodles in curry sauce with chicken- all excellent! Will definitely be back soon!

I had my belated birthday lunch here and it was my first time trying Burma Light. They were very accommodating when I kept needing to add people to my reservation lol. The inside was very clean and pretty. The servers were friendly and attentive for our entire meal. All of the orders were brought out promptly and they were GOOD. We ate family style so we all got to try a bit of everything. Veggies tasted fresh and the meat was so tender I could cut a piece in half with a spoon....
