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

Amazing lunch spot! The basil chicken with coconut rice is fresh, flavorful, and good lunch portion - especially if you add the salad for $1.50

Food is great, perfect for when you want burma superstar but don't want to wait for a table. Any of the entrees are delicious.

Whenever I'm in the area this is an absolute must go to restaurant for me. Everything is good, but the garlic fries are the best I've ever ever ever ever ever tasted. They are not soggy like most other garlic fries. They say crispy and they are absolutely flavorful. I definitely recommend them. I Really like ginger beer So that combination is a good one for me.

Love Burmese food but don't have time to sit down at Burma Superstar? Have no fear, Burma Bites is here! Featuring the same key menu items that pull me back to their restaurants, both in the east bay and SF, you can't go wrong with this food to go. Make sure to try the Tea Leaf Salad, it's *amazing*! I've also quite enjoyed their Samosas, Rainbow Salad, and Popcorn Chicken. The Spicy Noodles were a bit disappointing--too sweet, too little spicy. But one dish I didn't like does not diminish how great and delicious the other food has been! Staff was sweet and friendly, but this is a takeout place so don't expect a delightful set of interactions or cozy atmosphere. That's not what you're here for, go to the restaurant if that's what you want. :)

I've been going to Burma Bites since they opened and have witnessed their evolution over the past few years. This review is not about their food (which is usually quite good), but about the changes, mostly in portion size and cost.Originally you could order a nice dish that came with chicken or beef (+$2), rice and string beans for around $18 with generous portions sizes. I was in heaven living down the street and eating there at least once a week and could usually get 2 meals out of one order.Then they raised the prices; fair enough as it was a super deal to begin with.Then they made it a "bowl" with much smaller portions of protein and rice, no string beans, but an OK little side salad in a small carton (which was usually only about 1/2 full).Then they removed the side salad and started charging $1 for it.Then they charged $1.50 for the side salad.Then they started charging $1 order processing fee for online orders.(They should be giving a credit of $1 for online orders as calling in an order uses up valuable employee time.)Now no beef dishes.Almost all of these changes happened far before inflation became so high and seems to be their business model; increasing charges while decreasing portion size and expenses.FYI the A La Carte order of Wok-Tossed Chili Chicken was a total $28.54 (no rice - 10% tip). This is just too expensive for what it is.There are too many great restaurants in this area. and unfortunately this is probably my final trip to BB where every visit I'm again disappointed.

Okay, hello Burma Superstar spin-off! I see you looking at me - dayum, standard YUM. The Deets:+ Similar dishes to Burma Superstar, but with some grub specific to this location. + Chicken Wings - WHAT IS THAT SEASONING ON IT? Addicting. + Garlic fries - crispy and garlicky goodness. +/- Street parking and shopping strip mall lot available too. +/- Pergola-style seating available only+ Beer available onsite
Great food and helpful people!!This is a to go or outside dining only location, so I'm making it average for atmosphere.

Quick, fast & reliable! Pretty sad they don't have the beef curry in the TEmescal branch anymore! i loved that one the most! But yea leaf salad and spicy ginger pork are also always good!

Everything we ordered was delicious! Coconut curry was delightful and the coconut rice was delicious even all on its own. The fried chicken was seasoned just right and was perfectly crispy! The menu has excellent variety and has something for everyone. The customer service is super friendly and very patient. The outdoor seating was nice even on a rainy day. Definitely eat here!

My friend and I came here to celebrate her birthday and we didn't realize it was outdoor dining and take out only and it was a cold rainy day but luckily their outdoor dining was covered so we didn't get wet. We ordered the mango lassi, vegetable semusas, eggplant and tea leaf salad to share. All were tasty and delicious. Parking wasn't a problem and I was lucky to get a space near the post office. If I come here again, it will be on a warm day! Otherwise, since this is part of the Burma Superstar family, we'd head over to the indoor dining of Burma Superstar but I just read that the one 2 blocks away is temporarily closed.
