Burma Bistro

My favorite halal option! I called and placed an order through the phone, but they are also on Grubhub. They don't let anyone inside: there's a table right at the door where someone will help you. It was a Friday at 7pm and there was no line. Right when we went to pick our food up, maybe 2-3 people lined up behind us. There's always lots of parking. The staff is so accommodating and sweet! The owner is always really friendly and will help you navigate the menu and make recommendations if you need help. You can't go wrong with their garlic noodles with chicken and chicken palata dip.

I have not actually been inside, but just judging on the quality of food that I got to enjoy as takeout, this is really a fantastic establishment focused on high-quality and flavorful ingredients. No wonder so many people get the tea leaf salad! Also the mango chicken was some thing out of this world. Pairs perfectly with Rose or Sauvignon Blanc! Just don’t go red unless maybe you were thinking a lighter Pinot Noir. Enjoy!

Giving them four stars for the spicy crispy Burmese chicken alone. The chicken and coconut noodle soup was simply ok. Place is halal. Portion sizes were medium. Wish they served complimentary palata or sticky rice. One needs to purchase it separately. The soups need to be assembled. They give all the ingredients separately. Worth trying once atleast.

Ordered for a take out. Samosa soup was too good, must try here, flavorful and tasty. Samosa and other crunchy ingredients were carefully packed separately to not lose the crunch. Also, ordered other famous dishes tea leaf salad and mango chicken, which are fail-proof. Great service, order was ready on time.

I love Burma Bistro! I live in San Francisco but come to the South Bay often and this place lives upto the good Burmese restaurants in SF while being half the price. We got: 1) Tea leaf salad - they use more cabbage than lettuce but it’s good. 2) Fiery tofu with chicken - delicious except the tofu is soft. 3) Chicken curry with palatha - great flavor in the curry. 4) Vegetarian noodle stir fry - was sweet so my friend didn’t enjoy it. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star is because the tofu this place uses is not firm as compared to other Burmese restaurants. Pro tip - Spicy here means LEGIT spicy, be careful. Might burn your mouth.

Really great little spot. The food was flavorful and unique. I have never had Burmese food before so it was a great exploring experience. There was a little bit of spice but it wasn't so hot you couldn't enjoy it. I even heard the waiter ask someone if it was okay to have jalapenos in their food. Very courteous of them to ask. My waiter wasn't super friendly but the service was fast and the food was great.

Delicious, authentic Burmese cuisine with several veggie options and available modifications for vegetarians/vegans. The mango juice and young coconut juice is incredible. Super fast service!
