    Seating area
    Pamala S.

    Arrived and placed order on kiosk, seems it got lost, after 10 min I inquired, and oh ok , we will make it, then 10 more min i inquire , oh we just made it, looks like you gave it away to a togo order. Guy snaps at me... hands up, I will check on it, then makes my Chx curry over noodles, watched the whole process , 3 mins its done... Oh a received a free housemade drink in the future, for the time...place is fine , seats are wood seating smells like burning grill. Tables a bit worn.

    Spicy chicken
    Michael Y.

    Hmm.... Hmm.....,., I've been here five years ago, and it was good. Even taking a look at the pictures from five to eight years ago, it looked much better. But I just returned recently because I remembered that it was really good. But I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps I tried the wrong item, and the seasonal Fall special item looked good. But what we got was a bit small and underwhelming. The pickled vegetables were really good and were the best part!

    Salmon Salad & The Garden Box
    Jazmine V.

    This restaurant was surprisingly good and the service was amazing! My boyfriend and I decided to eat here after trying a generous sample of their Vietnamese Hot Chicken. The sample came with a generous amount of chicken and rice. Although, we opted to try different entrees for lunch, the Vietnamese Hot Chicken was hot and spicy, fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. What I like about their menu is not only do they offer meat options, the menu is also vegetarian/vegan friendly. You can choose to create your own box or choose from one of the many great signature boxes. Our lunch consisted of: * Salmon Salad - came with roasted lemongrass salmon, salad greens, pickled veggies, herbs, and a delicious ginger soy vinaigrette. This order took a little longer because of the salmon being cooked, I didn't mind the wait at all. This salad was delicious! It paired nicely with the dressing and picked veggies. * The Garden Box - came with organic tofu, yellow curry, broccoli, pickled veggies and brown rice. My boyfriend loved this dish! It was light and flavorful, and just enough protein from the tofu! * Lemonade and a Rice Lager which were both refreshing! * Shrimp Fresh Roll (not pictured) - it was light, had a nice bite from the veggies and came with a delicious peanut sauce on the side. The restaurant is moderately quiet with plenty of indoor seating, and is overall clean! Hospitality was top tier! We will definitely be back again and looking forward to trying more dishes!

    Completely gluten free? YES!! This celiac girl is so happy! Menu changes a little seasonally, but there are some items that remain on the menu. Everything I've had has been great (and safe). I've been here and one other location - this is the closest to home - I wish there was one closer to Pacifica. It's great that they also have an airport (SFO) location for gluten free travelers.

    Banh mi
    Eric D.

    - one of the worst banh mi I've had. Bread was very oddly dry; I could barely swallow it. Meat was chewy. Much better banh mi next door at Cherimoya, or even better at The Original Royal Donut (yes, banh mi at donut place). I believe the normal box meals are much better + staff was friendly + Location is good and has outdoor seating

    First timer and it wasn't bad. The food was fresh. Portion size is very good. Lots of bean sprouts but My kids didn't mind. The sauces were delicious. I love that there's an option for everyone. It is located in downtown Burlingame so parking can be a hit or miss depending on the time of day. It's never too busy inside the restaurant but don't let that fool you, the food is good.

    salmon salad and Vietnamese iced coffee
    Angel L.

    The salmon salad was okay. The sauce was savory, tangy, and sweet, which paired nicely with the fish. The Vietnamese iced coffee had a strange rubbing alcohol taste, and there were some alarming hard chunks (beans?) at the bottom of the cup.

The noodles are delicious, the broth is rich yet not greasy, and the beef slices are incredibly tender and smooth. It is almost impossible to find any flaws. If I had to point out one area that could be improved, it would probably be the choice of beef chunks. They are still very tender, but the texture feels just a little dry at times. Even so, this small issue does not take away from the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend this modern pho restaurant. They also offer many other dishes with great value for the price. Strongly recommended to everyone. 每次去拜訪這家餐廳,服務員的服務都非常得好,我始終點一樣的越南牛肉粉,好吃的麵條,濃郁的湯頭也不油膩,加上超滑嫩的牛肉片,無可挑剔。硬要說一個能改進的地方,唯一美中不足的部分應該就是牛肉塊的部位挑選,感覺也是非常嫩,但是口感始終有一點柴。但是瑕不掩瑜,整體來講,我非常推薦這一家好吃的現代河粉店,裡面還有非常多性價比非常不錯的餐點,強力推薦給各位。

Having said that, Mingalaba is probably the most authentic Asian restaurant I've eaten at so far. You can there that there's no shortcuts with the dishes, nothing is watered down, everything is just real. The coconut chicken soup is something out of this world. It's not spicy at all. I can't describe it but it was really delicious, as with all the other dishes. The service was amazing and they even amended some of our dishes so that we could feed it to our kid (non-spicy).

While there are a few highlights, several dishes don't quite justify the premium pricing. The Burmese beef and lamb curries are really good--the meat is consistently tender and the flavors are deep and well-developed. We also really enjoyed the rainbow salad and the paratha with curry sauce, though both felt overpriced for what they are. Other menu items have been disappointing: * Catfish Chowder: This was fairly average and bore a strange resemblance to pea soup. * Walnut Broccoli Chicken: Another mediocre dish that failed to leave an impression.

Honestly everything was not bad. My biggest gripe though was that these hot plates were heated by two tea lights and basically did little to nothing. You can hold your finger there and it will feel barely warm at all. The food is already cooked so it's not like it did anything other than to "warm." There were other tea light candles underneath and if the other ones lit up, it might've actually did something. If I could, I would've lit them all up since I prefer my food hot. Otherwise, these hot plates are pure aesthetic, near zero function.

The small plate of veggie came out first by itself and nothing came after for 5 minutes. Then the white rice came out where there was nothing on our table besides the veggie. Am I supposed to eat the rice by itself or wait til other foods to come out and the rice will be cold by then. Only good thing was that staff is kind of attentive but not exceptional.

Fast forward, it's Mom's Day, kids having meals on their own as parents, our celebration is to go somewhere good to have a meal, no lines (didn't make a res), kinda spontaneous. Hanabi fits the bill. Ordered the pork belly ramen ( looked really good at a neighboring table) and the Mayu-ramen, spicy, with kfc chicken (not what you think, means something else), both with a miso base. Wait was reasonable, time to get a table was 30 seconds tops. Other nights it's been jammed but not Mom's Day, just quiet, enjoyable. Both meals were spectacularly reasonable, serving what you'd want, with enough of everything to want to dive in because you were pretty assured you were going to be satisfied. Not fru-fru or bougie, ingredients that make the dish memorable yet feel you are knowledgeable and appreciated. Pork belly was soft, fatty yet lean, cooked well enough to be tender, yet with a little chew (not disintegrating like some bellies), lots of noodles al dente so you appreciate the noodle was not a mushy mass in the bowl like some places. The Mayu came with 3 drumsticks burning hot from the fryer but oh so good because it's served in a separate dish so it doesn't get soggy. The spicy is good enough to keep things interesting with losing its identity (unlike a lot of places). And they give plenty of ramen because it's that good. We keep coming back because they serve no-frills, you-can-bank-on-it ramen that is satisfying, consistent; staff is friendly without being overbearing. It's not a big place, tables and a counter, but they know how to keep diners happy and coming back for more. What more can you ask for? Thanks, Hanabi, will definitely be back!
