I love this food. It's so complex and flavorful! It's also very comforting. We shared the coconut chicken curry, coconut rice, platha, and garlic noodles with shrimp. It was all wonderful. I came a few months ago and got the same things. I felt like things tasted a little different but were still very good, which was interesting.

The lunch menu is lacking - no protein options without added carbs (bread, noodles). I was disappointed as the online menu doesn't indicate there is a different lunch menu.

Onetable reservations are only held for 90 minutes. That was not disclosed at time of booking or when we arrived. It was only mentioned 10 minutes before they had to turnover the table. We did not have time to try dessert. Either way, service was lousy, food mediocre compared to their sister restaurants, and drinks were not well mixed. Will stick to Burma love/superstar locations only

It was good, but not as good as I remembered. The tea leaf salad was mediocre. Our other dishes were very good. Our cocktails were excellent. It was noisy, so a little hard to have conversation. Location is great for SFJazz shows.

The roti and the satay were AMAZING. We should've just ordered two of each, skipped the mains, and we would've been totally satisfied.

Love that it is vegan friendly with more than one dishes. Food was delicious, server was super friendly!

This was my second time here. I was impressed enough during the first so came back and brought friends. Server we had this time was abrupt and bordering on rude. Food was okay.

Teakwood exceeded our expectations in many respects. The ambience was nice and not loud. The food was spectacular. The drinks were well crafted. The only thing that let the experience down was slow service which I believe was not entire the food server's fault.
Kimberly
Excellent food, kind and attentive wait staff, quick service. Would definitely dine here again and recommend to others.

Good food and service. Cramped and noisy, but I was there at a busy time. Expensive.
Ate at Teakwood for the first time. The space is attractive, but the value just isn’t there.
The food itself was decent, but portions were shockingly small. The lemongrass skirt steak was $36 for maybe 4-6 ounces of meat. The vegetable curry at $24 had a nice sauce but hardly any vegetables. We were fishing around with a spoon to find them. A $16 “side” of eggplant turned out to be just four tiny pieces. Since when is a side $16?
Calamari and tea leaf salad were tasty, but again very small. I remember Burma Superstar’s tea leaf salad being much larger. Shrinkflation seems to have hit hard with the Burma Love group. The calamari was excellent but amounted to only four pieces.
Drinks were standard for SF at $10 for beers and $18 for cocktails.
Service was another weak spot. The pacing felt more “European style,” meaning you had to flag someone down if you wanted anything. Our drinks sat empty a couple times, and we had to ask the food runner for rice since our server was nowhere to be found. Though we were told the food was meant to be family-style, no extra spoons were provided, so we awkwardly had to use our own utensils to share.
Our bill was over $300, plus the usual 5% “Healthy SF” surcharge (Thanks Scott Wiener!). In the end, the flavors were good and the space was nice, but between the tiny portions, inflated prices, and lackluster service, it’s not a place I’d return to.

Food was pretty okay, the curry with chicken was good. Service was non existent. Had to get up and find an employee to give me the check, it seemed they were too busy laughing and chatting. Was mildly annoyed because we were trying to get dinner before the symphony and everything was just so slow. The restroom was a disaster and the area outside looked like it has never been cleaned. It’s unfortunate because my brother-in-law told me about this place and how good it was. Maybe an off night, so that’s why I’m not leaving 1 star. Probably won’t come back.

Always a good time here, a nice place to go with friends or family or those visiting town. I'm vegetarian so there are also lots of options.

We came here for dinner at 5 pm with a reservation on a Thursday. Staff is friendly and attentive. The murakat lime spritz is delicious. Unfortunately I have shell fish allergy and all the curry base except vegan green curry had shrimp paste in it. Shellfish allergy is so common wish they would provide curries without it. The tea leaf salad was okay- I’ve had better but the platha was perfectly flaky and Lava cake for dessert was decent. I wasn’t quite blown away by their food to be honest- there are other good Burmese food joints in the city.
