What an awesome place.Great service.The food was very special.The pratha and dip was amazing, and the tea leaves salad was nothing like I had before.The noodles weren't very good.Other tables had meat dishes that looked very very good.

While I was staying in SF, I visited this place twice. They are really busy both times, but the staff were still nice and answer all of the questions about the food, most of which I had never tried before.- Tea Leaf Salad- Moh Hinga (Catfish Chowder noodle soup)- Basil Chili Pork Belly- Coconut Rice- Black Rice Hot Pudding- Ginger Salad- Burmese Style Curry (Lamb)- Tea Leaf Rice- Shan NoodlesAll of these are great, but HIGHLY recommend Moh Hinga, Coconut Rice, Ginger Salad, and Shan Noodles.Moh Hinga had nice firm noodles, and the crunchy split pea crackers were really good with soup. Coconut rice had an excellent texture and great aroma. Shan Noodles are an eastern style noodle, and are surprisingly similar to thin Linguine with tomato sauce with gentle lemongrass flavor and Chinese black beans.I hope they open the location in NYC soon! Please!

I will give it a 5star because of the lady who served us was so kind and attended to all our needs. We arrived early so we were the first customer of the day. Ambiance is good and the place is clean. Inside dining can be a lot busier during 12 to 2pm. For the taste of the food, from 1 to 10, I will rate it 7. This is in comparison with other Burma resto we've visited. So overall I will give it a 4star.

I had the signature tea leaf salad. $14. It tasted good but was very small. I was underwhelmed. Staff is nice. But $14 for a small salad.?

Totally loved this place!Food is amazing and the staff are friendly and respectful!Usually, this place has a huge wait time during the weekends. We went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, around 2p. Though it was almost closing time, there were people waiting for table. Since we were just a party of a three and agreed to sit indoors we just had to wait for 20-25 mins.As soon as we went in they thanked us for waiting in the line and seated us at our table.We asked the server to recommend popular dishes and she recommended Chili Lamb and Vegetarian Samusa soup. Additionally, we ordered Fiery Cauliflower, Chicken with Fresh Basil and Nan Pia Dok (noodles). All the items were flavorful and delicious.My favorites are Fiery Cauliflower, Samusa Soup and Chili Lamb.Chili Lamb is spicy, so decide wisely!I heard their Tea Leaf Salad is good too, will have to try next time.Definitely recommend this place!!

The food tastes authentic enough with twists and interpretations of their own. I don't think Burmese people coming here would find it quite the same as the food back home as Burmese food have thicker curries and noodle.

Delicious food with reasonable price. Each dish has its own unique taste. The host & waiter are very nice. The tea leaf salad is unique with the dressing. My favorite is the pork belly dish, it’s flavorful & a must try.

Really really good Burmese food that had me going for bite after bite. Service was really good with a great and helpful staff and the wait wasn't too long. Definitely a must-go.

I love the food here. The dishes are all so flavorful. Because it’s so popular, make sure you get their early or expect a wait time.

We ordered the tea leaf salad, samosa soup and the vegetable curry. The salad was delicious. The samosa soup and the curry were decent. The three flowers celebration tea was so good. The service was fast and we had to only wait for around 15 minutes to get in. Overall it was a good experience.
