amazing food on a street of phenomenal restaurants! i got the chicken jook which was a comforting delicious bowl of porridge. it came with chinese donut which was not super traditional (less oily/fried texture and more bready). however, the flavors of the porridge were top notch! yummy garlic, sesame seeds, asparagus, and mushroom complemented it perfectly. i also tried a bite of the vegan curry noodles and they were also delectable. i'm putting 4 stars because we waited an incredibly long time to be seated when there were multiple tables available. the servers seemed short staffed and stressed, but they were unfortunately not doing a good job at keeping up with online orders and maintaining the queue. otherwise, i would highly recommend. the ambiance is casual and there's some modern and nice artwork inside! i would definitely go back. read more

B Star - chicken jook - Burmese Near Me - San Francisco, California

While I really wanted to like this place, the food isn't doing it for me :( We ordered a platha dipper, a lamb curry, and a crispy duck skin fried rice. The platha was good and crispy. The curry was pretty up to standard -- not too surprising. But the crispy duck skin fried rice... oh man.. it was extremely salty. Salty to a point that we couldn't finish the dish after a bite. The dish was a complete miss. It was as if I was straight up eating salt. read more

We loved B Star! Being the sister restaurant of Burma Superstar (which I love), I was super excited to try B Star's fusion menu for lunch. We ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls, Pumpkin Pork Ginger Stew, Salmon Donburi, Salmon Ochazuke and Thai Green Curry Pot Pie. Everyone loved their dishes which were super flavorful and tasty, and we all felt that it was a great value, given that their prices were very reasonable for lunch. I especially loved the Thai Green Curry Pot Pie, although I would also get an order of rice to go with, if I were to get it next time. I wasn't sure about how green curry would taste in a pot pie form, but it tasted like a delicious green curry that was a little thicker than normal, which paired nicely with the flaky and crispy puff pastry. I will definitely be back! read more

This wasn't our first time here, but this will our last. Let's start with there's no service to speak of: 1. We had to wait a while before someone came to take our order. No prior acknowledgement such as "I'll be with you shortly". 2. Our drinks came quickly, followed by 2 appetizers. However, it was 30 minutes before our main dishes came. This ruins the flow of the entire dining experience. 3. The main dishes: the Miso Cod had such a strong taste of wine, it tasted bitter and sort of numbs your tongue. I can tell it wasn't fresh because it also smelled a little fishy. The Walnut Shrimp was barely cooked with at least one being half RAW. We took the rest home so we can cook it ourselves. The reason we didn't send the dish back was because the service was so slow, we didn't want to wait another 30 minutes . 4. Back to lack of service. The only time someone came to the table is to give you your food. You had to wave the server to ask for what you need. When we left, no "thank you" or "good bye" and the server was standing right there!! read more

Sister restaurant to Burma Superstar, with a much faster seating and similar menu. We have been here for restaurant week and when we were a large group of 10. For the large group, after we got directed from Burma Superstar to B Star, they seated us within 10 minutes. The menu is similar but B Star has their own standouts, like the Salmon Ochazuke, and honestly, the tea leaf salad is just as good as Burma Superstar if not better. I highly recommend coming here if you have never had Burmese food! read more

First time come here, the place is small but a bit noisy need to put hand behind ears to hear better, server is very nice and friendly, price is reasonable and food very tasty, I would come back again with friends read more

Really disappointing experience. The service was poor from start to finish -- we were never checked on, and our food came out cold. Our waitress also didn't seem familiar with the menu at all; every time we ordered, she seemed confused and unsure of what we were talking about, which made the whole experience frustrating. To top it off, as soon as we finished eating, we were abruptly told we had to get up and leave because they had another reservation, with no prior warning. It felt rushed and unwelcoming. Definitely not a place I'd return to. read more

Came here for restaurant week with my friend and had a really good time! We got the dinner course which was really good value for $45. I have heard a lot about B Star and was really excited to try. The curry noodle was really good and the dessert was also really good. This is such a great lowkey spot for a small dinner with friends and the portions are also pretty shareable. The servers and hostess were super sweet and accommodating. I would definitely come back again! read more

B Star is a really solid alternative to Burma Superstar featuring a wide array of dishes that'll scratch the same itch. It's way less busy than Burma Superstar and we got seated pretty much instantly. The service was great and the interior of the restaurant is actually quite nice and cozy, great for friendly hangouts or casual dates. As for the food, I ordered the duck fried rice and it was good! I wish it had a bit more duck in the actual serving but flavor wise it didn't pull any punches. If I went back, I'd almost definitely get it again and maybe take one to go. read more

B Star - Chicken wings and tea leaf salad - Burmese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Kiddo and I were out visiting the Farmers Market and in search of something to eat. It's been a while, but we decided on B Star. Although their brunch offerings sounded interesting (something I'll have to try next time), we decided to go with the following instead: 1) Salmon Don - Nicely presented dish. Kiddo doesn't really care for eggs, but I thought the over easy eggs were a nice complement to the dish. 2) Tea Leaf Salad - I know this is their best seller and most well-known dish. Don't get me wrong, it was a good salad. However, something seemed to be missing - don't know what but this time it was missing that oomph factor. 3) Butternut squash soup - I ordered the small size and it was a good-sized portion that probably can be shared. Rich butternut flavor and love the pepitas. Quite filling. Service was ok - no one really checked on us. Overall, we had an enjoyable meal. read more

I told the server I wanted an authentic Burmese dish that a native Burmese grandmother would approve of. She recommended the duck skin fried rice and I said "not oily." I searched Burmese duck skin fried rice on-line and came up with nothing! The dish was loaded with vegetables. The duck skin was not visible but it may have been incorporated. It was "heavy" due to use of brown rice. Some of the veggies were raw and finely chopped which I enjoyed. The menu was more pan-Asian with Chinese Jook, Singaporean laksa, Japanese inspired pork Katsu and a few great Burmese dishes. I went there hoping to find home style Burmese but learned it is more Asian Fusion. read more

Came to B Star for a Restaurant Week 2023 lunch and it did not disappoint! There were a surprising amount of people in on Friday for lunch but I was still able to get a table right away. For my "appetizers", I opted for the Tea Leaf Salad and the Samosa Soup. I use "appetizers" because even at reduced portions this pairing was incredibly filling. I personally LOVED the samosa soup! It was my first time having it but the flavors were amazing. I loved the nuttiness from the lentils and the fun bites of samosas within. The bursts of freshness from both basil and mint were also delish. A squeeze of lemon was also really great! As for the tea leaf salad, it was a little more herbal than expected. Still tasty but wasn't the best I've had. Plus, now that I've had versions without lettuce, the lettuce filler is a bit of a downer. For my main, I had to have the Kau Soi, another Burmese favorite. I honestly only touched about 1/4 of it after the soup and salad so definitely more for me later! I wished the coconut curry was a little more coconutty but other than that, it was still very tasty. The other thing that stood out to me was the inclusion of pickled mustard greens and the thick egg noodles. The pickled greens worked! Loved the contrast between the coconut chicken and the sour pop of the pickle. The noodles were a little too thick in my opinion, but provided a nice chew. For my drink, I had a Vietnamese iced coffee. Upon delivery, it was premixed but it was pretty dark! On first taste, it was still pretty bitter, I asked for some additional condensed milk and the barista happily obliged - great customer service! All in all it was $33 after tip and SF fees but it was more than enough for two meals so it was very worth the price. read more

I am a huge fan of Burma superstar. I didn't know they opened up a small yet cute joint two blocks apart. It has everything you need from Burma superstar. Good food, good service, and good environment. We loved everything we ordered and the waiter was very helpful and exceptionally cute. I like it better in terms the place it has the touch of a family style family running restaurant. Out of all the dishes we ordered I still like the pork ribs, the best, the noodles I had were very good as well as you don't really get to have this style a lot in San Francisco. I was full, so I didn't order any dessert but I would definitely come back and try more. read more

You'll want to check this place out. The only downside is there's not a lot of parking for non-residents but if you're lucky enough to get a spot, you'll enjoy great food. The restaurant has a very comfortable atmosphere and great service. Thankfully they were able to accommodate the six of us pretty quickly. The flavors were deep and delicious. While some dishes were supposed to be spicy, I found them perfect, with just a slight bit of heat. Perfect. You must try the tea leaf salad too. We started with that, and then had the main courses. I had the fiery basil chicken, which was absolutely delicious. My wife had the salmon ochazuke. My oldest had the pumpkin pork ginger stew (a must try). Second son had the coconut chicken curry noodles. Youngest and another the sesame chicken. For dessert we split the black rice pudding and sweet platha, which was also very good. read more

We tried 3 different lunch specials! Appetizers - platha dipper - yum! Not as fluffy as other places, but still quite tasty. The dipping sauce is good too. - b sprouts - also pretty good! They were very flavorful which was a pleasant surprise. Other places sometimes don't have enough flavor to mask the brussel sprout taste, but this was super flavorful. - tea leaf salad - good salad, can't go wrong there. Doesn't really have tea flavor tho. Drinks - hot vietnamese coffee - they allow you to pour hot water over the coffee grounds yourself, pretty interesting. The water didn't seem hot enough. It was also lacking in taste, and there were a lot of coffee grounds floating. - thai iced tea - flavor wasn't really strong enough. There was a lot of ice that I had to scoop out. Meal (didn't come out piping hot, was just warm) - Sticky finger pork riblettes - pork ribs (with and without bone) glazed in a sweet and spicy sticky sauce. The meat isn't tough but does require a bit of a bite to chew off. The sauce is super flavorful, but once you get to the bottom pieces that are sitting in the sauce, it becomes too much. Pretty good overall, just too salty even with rice. - pumpkin ginger pork stew - pork and pumpkin stew. Pork is tender, and the flavor is good. I was afraid it would be ginger heavy, but it was actually quite light and tasty. - lamb curry - lamb and potato curry. Lamb was pretty rough, and seemed like there were more potatoes than lamb. read more

If you are craving Burmese food, which if you are unfamiliar is the best of Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines, B-star is a reliable workhorse. This is part of the same chain as Burma Superstar in SF and East Bay, i.e. same menu. Tea leaf salad is the must-have go-to dish at any Burmese restaurant. And B-star does not disappoint. For vegetarians, you can skip the fish sauce if you let your server know. The salad is prepared fresh by your table and adding some lemon brings out the best of the green tea leaf paste and the crunchy accoutrements that compliment the lettuce, garlic and sesame seeds. Another classic is the palatha with dip, which is the equivalent of a fried roti with chicken (usually) or coconut curry in B-star's case. Or you can skip it for a samusa soup (Samosa soup) that's hearty, savory and can be a meal by itself. If you have any room left, there's a bunch of mains, from Tofu to Catfish (Mohinga - that's a specialty), with flavors reminiscent from the Thai or Chinese cuisines. Parking is always a challenge on clement street and you need to call your parking angel to find metered parking. Tip: Try their $25 lunch special M-F available until 2.30 pm that includes an appetizer, main and a drink. Best value. read more

Garlic crab noodles are a scam, 30 bucks for a child's portion with a slither of crab

I love trying all the dishes here at B Star! The tea leaf salad is a must get, and for entrees, the laksa, lamb curry, and miso cod noodles are some of my favorite! The service here is very attentive and caring. When they had a mix up and ran out of their Chilean sea bass for dinner, they were super nice and not only recommended something similar that would go well with the rest of the meal, they even gave us a complimentary black rice pudding for dessert! The restaurant vibes are the perfect amount of bustling but being able to hear your friends very well still. They also have nice outdoor seating! This is a top restaurant I recommend to friends and family when they visit! read more

I love that San Francisco has a plethora of Burmese restaurants. It's one of my favorite foods. If food can be sexy, its like the sexier version of thai food. We were able to get seated right away for dinner even though it was a holiday. The place was packed. If I had to recommend something, it'd be the Laksa. Perfect blend of coconut, spice and umami. It was a pretty good portion too. The burmese curry was good too but lacked in meat. There was very very little amounts of meat. And they make you pay for rice, which stings a little yaknow? Rice is so cheap to make, I'll never understand. read more

One of my favorite Burmese spots in the city because it's a good date atmosphere and they take reservations. Plus the food is really good.

I passed this place many times and decided to go in on a Sunday wasn't disappointed. The food was solid. My friend had the Filipino breakfast with the garlic rice and the Filipino sausages and it was delicious. He really enjoyed it. I had a chicken dish that was almost like a soup, but it came with egg noodles some very tasty crispy noodles egg, and it was delicious. I forgot the exact name of it, but it was very satisfying. Service was OK young girls working there doing a decent job could stand to be a little more personable, but that's OK. read more

Not much to say but except the jook and rice dish I got was extremely well balanced in flavors and textures. It's a hodgepodge of different ingredients but everything compliments each other quite well. The amount of each ingredients was sensible too. I forgot how much it costed though so youll have to look it up. Portions were ok for what you paid for as I believe it was a little pricey. Street parking was easy. Sat outside to eat and didnt have problems. Water refills were a little slow. Tried a few other dishes but really these two were the best. Was it STELLAR though? Not really, but for the SF area this was definitely one of the better Asian fusion type of cuisines. 8/10 would come again and would recommend to a friend. read more

My favorite Burmese food in the city -- my friend and I go out of our ways to come here when we can because it's just SO good. My go-to dish is the miso cod -- the fish is flavorful (but not too salty) and sits atop a bed of delicious garlicky noodles. The fiery tofu dish is also, well, fire -- super flavorful. Their thai iced tea is also a nice complement to cool down when eating all the food. Tucked away on Clement right next to Burma Superstar (another neighborhood institution which is decent but not as good imo), this place is always a hit. read more

Came to B Star for the first time around 7:30pm on a Friday when we saw how long the wait would be at Burma Superstar. I've known about B Star for a while now but have been lucky to be able to get to Burma Superstar before it gets super busy, but we figured it might be worth it to walk down the street to check out B Star after putting our name down for the waitlist at Burma Superstar. Super glad we did, because we saw that there were open tables at B Star, and were seated almost immediately. Unlike Burma Superstar, B Star is more brightly lit and has more of a casual upscale hip vibe. The menu seems to overlap a bit, with some dishes that seem to be B Star exclusive, and some Burma Superstar dishes weren't on the menu. We ordered quite a lot to share; Platha Dipper ($11): a classic, and cut into larger more layered flakey pieces here, which I enjoyed. Tea Leaf Salad ($21.5): a classic, and just about the same here except without the table side explanation of ingredients and mixing. Laksa ($19.5): super creamy, richy, lightly sweet, and not as umami or savory as I would've expected. The lime definitely helps bring a bit more complexity, but overall a very warming, homey dish. Miso-Glazed Cod Noodles ($27): super tender, buttery flaky cod, ontop of some nicely savory soy-saucey noodles that had good chew. Fiery Basil Chicken ($27): not too notable, but good enough. Not sure if worth the price or if I'd reorder. Coconut Rice ($4.5): a classic, fragrant coconut rice. It felt like the portion was a bit smaller than what I'd expect. Lychee-lime Mojito Half-Pitcher ($25): not sure if this is the same recipe as Burma Superstar, or if its just because it was made in a pitcher instead of a glass; this one was a little less minty and less lychee than I remember, and I missed out having an entire lychee at the bottom of each glass. Still good value for the half pitcher giving us about 6ish cups worth of drinks Overall, B Star is just as good as Burma Superstar, with a little bit of a different vibe. Would definitely come by again, especially with larger groups and when we're not feeling like waiting for a table at Burma Superstar on a busy night. read more

I was craving Burmese food last night and went to B star which was described on google as a "less crowded Burma Superstar". There was a lot of good options on the menu so it was hard to pick but I ended up splitting a large lamb curry. It was so tasty, I was scraping the curry of my plate at the end. The lamb was so tender and melted in my mouth. The flavors were similar to Indian curries I had, but the spices are way more subtle and focused more on flavor of the meat. I also tried the Vietnamese Coffee, it's great if you're looking for a strong but sweet and creamy coffee! read more

Place has so many good options to choose from that we didn't know what to chose when we got there! All the things we ordered fed 4 people! But it can definitely feed about 4-5 people normally! Only reason for a 4/5 stars was because the waitress took our order but never placed the order so we sat there for an extra 10-15 minutes just waiting for our food when the tables who ordered around the same time already got their first dish. We got all the dishes that were most popular and you can't go wrong with the Laksa! My favorite out of all the dishes we got! Flavors were amazing and the broth just was so flavorful! The duck skin fried rice was good too I would give it a 4/5, just because the dish was a bit too oily for me and I wasn't sure what flavors I was tasting when I had it. The curry was ok, nothing crazy. Definitely needed more flavor for a curry dish.... Miso cod was good too but wasn't my favorite. read more

My friend chose this neighborhood favorite for her DOB celebration on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May. The outdoor street and sidewalk dining area was packed so lucky our hosts reserved the back dining area which is also outdoors or open air. Our reservation was for 12:30 pm and the majority of our party was on time with a minor hiccup due to an accident near Stonestown that slowed out-of-town guests from arriving on time. We started with carafes of Thai iced tea (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rG_diuHtEGTSUVhymv6-EQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and ginger lemonade (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0gu-ulBN926eTLCnKtH5yg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), both perfect for this warm afternoon. When everyone arrived, the parade of appetizers came out first as follows: Appetizers, all shared 1. Vegetarian samusas (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qf6dezg8tJbtlTRu_U6t-g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Deep fried triangles filled with curry spiced potato that comes with a house special chili sauce. Nice start and everything was on point. 2. S&P Fries (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jRVpqTv3zTyiyrQ-dqLgKg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Thin cut fries seasoned with salt and black pepper, served with curry aioli. As described, the curry dipping sauce is the star. 3. B Sprouts (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zJzuTPn9_DoCVLsZ4UD3Iw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Fried brussel sprouts with furikake, popped rice, and parmesan. My favorite of the apps. Salads, all shared 4. Tea leaf salad (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=z2PcOj6RwWzWeYsicTh_4g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Glad I finally got to try this, their staple dish. The variety of ingredients (see their menu here - (https://www.bstarbar.com/)). This is their staple dish and, perhaps due to heightened expectations, it was just okay for me. 5. Rainbow salad (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HcDWj46PrHuXo173IT9ftA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - In contrast, I liked this salad more which had four types of noodles and green papaya to make a refreshing and more memorable salad. Please reference the above menu again as it states there are 22 ingredients to this. Mains 6. Kids jook with chicken (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CApPq-ulUkl2Op0R7e2DGg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Poached chicken with porridge/jook. Straightforward dish that's flavorful and generous in chicken portion. I drank this as a premeal soup and destroyed this bowl. 7. Miso cod (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wJyvUiqHyE6B8134bhbgzQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Miso glazed black cod over garlic ginger noodles. Temper expectations as this met mine in being prepared. The fish was tender and the sweet soy miso flavor is smooth. I did taste a bit of fishiness which is expected for fish that's been frozen. The garlic noodles paired well for a flavor contrast. Everyone was stuffed from the above so no dessert was ordered. In fact, I'm not sure there is a dessert menu after taking a second look on their website. For large parties (we were ten), they asked us to preorder our meals. I'm not sure what the time deadline is as I told our gracious hosts three days before the party. Our server was efficient and cordial in keeping everything organized especially due to the guest arrival delay. I can see why this is a regular dining spot for the party hosts since they live in walking distance. read more

I ordered the sesame tofu for delivery, which I have done numerous times, but tonight was just awful. The tofu was so overcooked it tasted like it was dehydrated. The dish was drowning in sesame seeds like someone put an entire cup on it. It was served with what may have been okra. It was hard to tell. The dish was completely covered in whole clove of garlic, spicy peppers and diced onions. The whole dish tasted like garlic mixed with slimy okra. This dish is normally served only with tofu, broccoli, and a sauce over it. I do not know what they did, but this certainly wasn't what I ordered in the past and I will never order this dish for takeout ever again. read more

The first time we visited a year ago, it was the first time we had ever had Burmese food. Everything was excellent. I was inspired to buy the Burma Superstar cookbook and make dishes at home. Fast forward a year and we returned recently. The food was now mediocre at best. It's a small establishment so service is basic but quick, and the ambience isn't really what you go here for. It's suppose to be the food. However, the Burmese dishes I sometimes make at home now far surpass the food we got here, and so there is really no reason to ever go back. Thanks for the cookbook tho, you taught me how to make dishes that are better than those at your restaurant, so I can skip the trip. read more

Best Burmese food I found. My friend thought she was making a reservation at the original but we ended up at this sister restaurant down the street and we're not disappointed. They have happy hour from 5-6:30 with excellent apps discounted like their brussel sprouts and platha (roti) with curry dip which were definitely the highlight. Their tea leaf salad, miso cod noodle dish and Burmese curry with lamb were also top notch. The lamb was tender and we loved the pickled mango in it. The noodles themselves were fantastic. Prices are super reasonable for the area. I would go back in a heartbeat!! read more

I don't write reviews often, but what happened during our meal here can't be ignored. My partner and I were dining off the prix fixe lunch menu when a cockroach crawled onto the bench and disappeared into a crevice. It was disturbing and completely changed the tone of our meal. Since we had already ordered, we asked to have the rest of our food packed to go and left quickly. The waitress acknowledged the incident, apologized, and took my number, saying the owner would follow up. We were still charged the full amount. This wasn't a minor inconvenience--it was a serious concern about cleanliness and health standards. I wanted to give the restaurant a chance to respond, but as of this writing, there's been no reply. The food might be good, but sanitation and customer care should never be optional. read more

I love how Richmond and SF is filled with really hip and delicious Burmese/Southeast Asian food! Joints such as B Star and Burma Superstar really make Richmond district such a cool place to visit. Food here was nothing short of spectacular. While their menu seems a bit disparate with foods from different cuisines (think Indian, Thai, Malay, Indo + Burmese fusion), there are nuggets of Burmese gems to be found. Their Laksa is a twist on the traditionally Malay/Indo dish with a thicker coconut orange curry broth that is spicier and tangier than their traditional cousin. Platha is a twist on a roti with a thicker, aromatic bread compared to its close Indian cousin, and the coconut curry was super delicious! I also got their viet coffee which was interesting as it was served with condensed milk not mixed on the bottom and separate from the coffee itself. While it was hard to make a homogenous mixture from these two components, it did make the coffee less sweet and less overpowered by sugar - to my liking. This place does get crowded. We were here at 1pm Tuesday during the height of lunch service, and was surprisingly packed. Will miss this place when I'm back to the East coast! read more
