Compared to Burma Superstar, Bites is not as consistently good I'm afraid. One of my favorite is the fiery tofu, but I just received a burnt one. The sauce didn't have its usual sweetness either 😔 which I'm fond of, instead it was burnt and overly salty. There must have been a change in the kitchen staff, or a mixed up? Sending y'all good vibes! I hope all is well because we love Burma's recipes but this was an unfortunate mishap. But it's not a cheap meal either ... anyways I'm leaving a note here because I couldn't find other ways to provide feedback, I didn't see a way on the website.

Wow. We got coconut chicken curry and it was disgusting. Horrible. Had a faint scent of curry but mostly we both recoiled at the horrible smell of greasy bird swimming in brownish/yellow oil. We got as far as adding rice to a bowl and spooning some malodorous liquid onto it before both of us were too grossed out by the smell to continue. One of us did taste and thank god it wasn’t me. I wouldn’t feed this to my dog. I’m serious. Will never ever order from here again. We also ordered a burrito which was average and some roti with sauce which was pretty good but came in this huge container with about 4 little pieces of bread in it. What a joke.

Decent food, although the jasmine rice was kinda yucky (mushy; how can you mess up rice!), and somewhat overpriced. Atrocious service/communication, maybe the counter-person was new?

It’s only a takeout place. Since Burma superstar was delicious. We ordered items from here thinking of the same quality. We had Samosa, which was too oily but tasted good. Then we ordered spicy tofu which was terrible and then we ordered some chicken sandwich. It was disgusting. I still give a three star because probably we ordered the wrong items here. I’m going to try it one more time different items and see where it goes.

Oily and tasteless. Extremely overpriced. Mostly rice and the tiniest sandwich I've ever seen. Where did they even get a roll of bread that narrow? It's a travesty to associate this dog food with Burmese cuisine.

Not a fan of the new menu. Too sandwich and bread heavy. I used to order a lot because it was gluten friendly but can’t have any wraps / sandwiches. Also they used to have the most stellar wings with a sticky sweet sauce. Please at least bring the wings back. ?

They changed their menu, but haven’t changed the menu you order off of for DoorDash. So you place an order for one thing, and they just assign you the closest menu item…which may not be close at all. There’s no way to change the order. I even went into the store and they refused to help, because the order had already gone through. The whole situation seems poorly thought through. Really disappointed.

Had the Burmese chicken and eggs fried rice with Burmese milk Tea. The service was fast and good. The staff is very friendly and professional. I didn't like the fried rice much, but I realized half way through eating it that the rice was brown rice. So it's my fault for not reading it. The Thai was really good though. I'll come back again and try a different dish next time.
Still I ate it all, overall good vibes. Definitely recommend ?
Maybe it’s the fried rice I ordered but it was very bland and dry. Hope the other dishes are better.

We just had a fabulous lunch at Burma Bites on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. The Rainbow Salad was phenomenal! We also ordered the fried string beans that were also perfectly prepared crisp and seasoned.
I love the coconut rice with mint chicken, it's a combination of sweet rice with spicy chicken that is awesome.

Garlic fries are amazing. Fiery tofu was good too. Garlic noodles were soggy and gross, like overcooked spaghetti. Weird that they are completely different from Superstar's recipe even though they are supposedly the same brand/owners. Fried rice was pretty boring and bland, might as well just get a side of plain rice for 1/4 of the price.

This was a delightful surprise. Very tasty chicken "sando". Great spices and flavor. The atmosphere is "street food" and they get 4 stars for being authentic
