Small portion sizes which make it hard to do family style. Food is good but not worth the price. 1 roti was $12 which is pretty darn expensive in my opinion….

The food here is honestly really bland. The roti and curry is good, but most of the other dishes lack strong flavor or spice. I would categorize this as “white people food” but not authentic imo. I really don’t get the hype - you can get equivalent food from dozens of other restaurants in Oakland

Great food. Slightly different from Burma Superstar with different options. The roti, chicken curry and catfish are so good. Good and simple service too

The food was pretty good but a bit pricy for a lunch. The tea leaf kale salad was great and the basil cumin pork belly was good. The coconut curry was too sweet for my taste. The service was poor, we waited 45 minutes for the check and we were only 1 of 2 tables eating at the time.

The food was really flavourful and delicious. The portion sizes were a little bit small but not too bad, I would not hold it against them. I ordered the spicy shrimp noodles, basil cumin chicken and coconut rice.

Ordered the pea shoot salad, wings, cauliflower dish, curry beef, basil chicken, sticky rice, and roti! Everything was absolutely phenomenal and the cocktails were truly amazing cannot wait to come again!

Nice service and atmosphere, but food was not to our liking. Roti was okay, but beef curry and fried catfish were meh. Daughter said I could have made it at home.
One of the best vegan meals I've ever eaten! Tea leaf kale salad, basil cumin chickpea tofu, and coconut veggie curry were all fresh and flavorful. Tamarind cooler and mango ginger lassi were a fine complement. Highly recommend!!

I had my baby shower here for 50 people and everything from coordination to execution was so easy and delightful. Everyone loved the food, the price was reasonable, the service was incredibly kind and accommodating. We had the space to ourselves. They were flexible with desserts and decor. I couldn’t ask for anything more and would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a venue for a special event. This is also one of my favorite restaurants so even if you’re not in the market to do something big— stop by for some delicious food and drinks! The roti, the pea shoot salad, and beef curry are fantastic.

Sweet little restaurant with a lovely take on Burmese food. Curries, salads, lassis and more.
We shared the signature pea shoot salad, which was delicious. And then had a lunch special of spicy noodles with salad, and the chickpea tofu with garlic chili sauce. Truth, all the sauces tasted the same to me, and they were delicious. Top it off with a mango-ginger lassi and you’ll be satisfyingly full.

The Bay Area has tons of great Burmese food, but in my opinion Teni East is the best of them all. Can't miss dishes: chickpea tofu (really!), roti with dip, tea leaf salad, pea shoot salad, cauliflower with corn, basil cumin curry.
