Burma Burma

I don't think the food is authentic Burmese. We ordered more than 10 different dishes and everything tastes the same. Ver bad experience

Their food is delicious! I will definitely be going back for a third time soon. Chicken pad Thai -excellent
Fried coconut pudding-excellent
Tofu vegetables- excellent
Service-excellent

I feel conflicted having such an inverse experience than most people. The service was very fast and friendly. They were so open to share the top dishes on the menu. The food came out super fast and our waters never went empty. The food though... was not great. It must be a very specific palate because there were THREE very large birthdays here, so obviously people love this place.

If you're eating here, you must order the palata. It's like an Indian paratha and is so perfectly chewy/flakey. The gravy though tastes like pot roast. No spices or aromatics added. The pepper lamb/beef is tasty too, not spicy at all.

You're supposed to order the fermented green tea leaf salad, but there were so many bad reviews that we ordered the samosa salad. It comes with a singular samosa chopped up over very old and wilted lettuce. I was excited for the tamarind, but never really tasted it.

We asked for the jalapeño minted chicken to be extra spicy, but there was literally no spice. Not only that... but there were no jalapeños? The texture was very interesting though.

The signature dish is the Nan Gyi Dok which has a wonderfully chewy texture and similar to a creamy udon. However, the boiled eggs were so overcooked that all you could taste and smell was a mouthful of sulphur.

This was my first foray into Burmese food, so I could be expecting the wrong things. I was hoping for spicy and aromatic, but that might not be what this culture is about, so take my review with a grain of salt. To me, this tasted more like American southern food than southeast Asian.

Overall, a great experience! Perfect portions and quick service. We got our food in 5 minutes! So fast!! Side note: this place is really popular for big groups and birthday celebrations!

I enjoyed the Chicken and Shrimp Biryani a lot! If I'm being picky, this dish was pretty salty and needed more rice. However, the shrimp was cooked really well and the chicken was tender. I like that they include an entire chicken leg! Easy to share with another person.

Nan Gyi Dok is my favorite Burmese dish, and this place makes it peetty well! Not a pretty looking menu item, but it sure is tasty. They make it very creamy and eggy, which is nice texturally. They give lots of noodles and big chunks of chicken too. I recommend :)

Went to this place last week for dinner. The location is packed and was busy. the service was fast and prompt. The food was fresh and flavorful. Got both veg and non-veg options. The interior was clean. Ample parking.

Bottom line will visit this place again!!!

I was so excited to try this place, I've tried Burma food and I really enjoyed it.

The service was so quick but the servers definitely did not seem like they were in a good mood. We had ordered the Burmese Garlic Noodles with Pork, Tea Leaf Salad and Black Pepper Beef.

The Burmese Garlic Noodles were overcooked and didn't have much flavor. The Tea Leaf Salad was the best thing we ordered - love the texture and definitely a signature dish. The Black Pepper Beef was SO TENDER and so flavorful but pretty salty.

For dessert we ordered the deep fried coconut pudding with mango ice cream. I really enjoyed it and never had anything like it.

4.5 stars, rounding down. They close at 2:30, last call for seating is 2pm. We made it just in time (yay)!

The ambiance is pretty nice in here, and on par with other Burmese restaurants I've been to. Service is nice and friendly. Our waitress even offered to bring us chili paste without us asking for it (we told her we love spicy & asked for "spicy" on all the dishes with that option).

We got the pepper and salt swai (fish) as appetizer. The fish tasted fresh, and had the perfect crispiness to it. The minted jalapeno chicken was a bit too salty, but that's no biggie if you mix it in with rice. The shrimp fried rice was great. I do highly recommend it if you're choosing between the fried rice. The Burmese style pork curry was not bad, but the pork was still a bit tough to chew (vs being tender).

The portion size was generous and the pricing is reasonable. I had enough leftover for 3 more small meals.

Have you tried Burmese food?! Coming from Arizona I have not yet tried so this was an excellent opportunity. Think of it like a mix of Chinese, Thai and Indian cuisine. First off for a table of 10 our food service was super fast. In fact the fastest I've ever had!! If you're hungry this and need food fast this is it. But of course if you need to have reservations. You'll have to call the restaurant if you have more than 4 in your party.

We started off with:
Tea leaf salad - which has peanuts, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, Burmese tea leaves, lemon, jalepenos, dried shrimp powder, fish sauce, sunflower seeds, fried garlic. This was a fresh salad and a popular dish. Gluten free. $15

Samosa soup - had pieces of samosa and falafel, potatoes, chickpeas, red onions, paprika, cabbage, bay leaf, tamarind, Marsala, tumeric, dried chili. $13

Burmese Pad Thai- this to me tastes like a regular thai pad Thai! Has the rice noodles, red bell peppers, cabbage, onion, egg, peanuts, tamarind, sprouts, paprika, fish sauce, tofu and we added shrimp for the protein. $17

Black pepper shrimp- this has red and green bell peppers, onions, carrots, ginger, garlic, scallions, black bean sauce, black and white pepper, soy sauce and white wine. I was trying to see if this came close to the black pepper crab that I had in Singapore but it wasn't. Still food though. $21

Basil and dried chili swai - this is a white fish seasoned with Thai chilies, dried chili flakes, jalapeños, onions, black pepper, basil and tamarind powder. Very good. $19

Broccoli and garlic- garlic and salted $15

tried burmese food for the first time!! thought it was overall pretty good, however my coconut soup was lukewarm. had it been hot, i would've given it a 5/5.
I also got the Basil & Dried Chili Lamb in the level Spicy. This was also a great dish, but i wasn't a big fan of the grainy texture. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes, but I would definitely try this place again.
The server was also very helpful in giving us a tour of the menu. (:

Made reservations for a Friday night at 6:30pm and I'm glad I did as there was a 20 minute wait when we arrived. They are located in a shopping center so there is ample parking available. Overall I do give Burma Burma a 3.5, but I feel there were some dishes that weren't as great.

Palata Coconut Chicken Curry - 5/5 - I highly recommend this appetizer as the bread is really flaky and the coconut chicken curry has such great flavor.

Sesame Chicken -5/5 - the sesame chicken was also really full of flavor and was on the top of my list.

Basil & Dried Chili Beef - 4/5 - the beef was also really good and had a lot of flavors with the onion it came with as well.

Mango Chicken - 3/5 - it had the potential of being good, but it arrived cold which was very unfortunate.

Burmese Garlic Noodles - 2.5/5 - I felt the noodles were missing flavor, I added the sauce that it came with and it helped a bit, but it was still lacking flavor.

Overall, I might return, but there are other Burmese restaurants in the Bay Area that I feel are better.

We enjoyed the food and the ambience. The restaurant is busy but we got a booth. The staff is very nice and attentive.

The Tea Leaf salad quantity is less compared to previous visits. The amount of tea leaf is less compared to other Burmese restaurants. The Black Pepper Tofu was really good. We enjoyed it with the Burmese Indian Rice.

Overall a very good experience.
