First time here. My Daughter made a reservation on Mother's Day before a Valkyries game. Cocktails were beautiful and refreshing. We ordered a few items family style. The food was incredible and presented well. The staff was friendly and efficient. I will definitely recommend this establishment and return again. read more

I will say- food is 5 stars, everything else 1 star. And maybe it was a bad day, which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2 (which is what I originally was going to give yesterday, immediately after the experience. But after giving it a day, maybe it was just an off day for the restaurant- hence the bump up to 3 stars. We made a res thru open table. We arrived and said our reservation name, to which they said they already seated that table (even tho I had a confirmation email), so they told us to wait. Then a group of 4 walked up and got seated immediately (before us) and they got the only open table in the shade. A few minutes later we got seated in the sun, that's fine. There were only 2 plates and two cups at the table and when we asked for 2 more the waitress said "we're currently out" so we had to share. It was awkward and unprofessional. When we asked to order one more dish, we asked if we could get 2 more plates and cups, which they finally had available so we were able to each have our own. While the food was good, it's not worth the experience, so I probably will not be back. read more

Unique flavors. Some good, some ok. Platha (like roti) was good with the curry and especially with the sweet butter. Tea leaf salad was nutty and refreshing. The garlic fries (not authentic) were surprisingly good. Mohinga (catfish chowder noodles soup) was ok. It was spicy and a bit salty. The rest of the dishes were meh. Shrimp garlic noodles was quite salty and saucy. Nan Gyi Dok (curry chicken noodles), I didn't get why it's udon and not egg noodles and flavor was just ok. Sesame chicken suggested by waiter (think orange chicken) was non-authentic and kind of dry. There are indoor tables but it's limited. They have many outdoor tables. read more

My experience here was pretty disappointing. I've been to other Burma Love locations, and this was by far my least favorite. The food wasn't very good. The paratha was overcooked and hard. The chicken curry was thin. The tea salad was pretty flavorless. Even the white rice was dry and crunchy. Only the spicy string beans were good and packed sufficient flavor. Service was average, and the space felt a bit crowded (though given it's small footprint next to Chase, I'd offer some grace here). read more

We had a reservation before the Olivia Dean concert. When we showed up on time, our group of 3 still had to wait another 15-20 minutes until we were seated. It was a little frustrating given we had reservations. There was another group next to us who had the same situation. Once we were seated, we had a lovely server who took good care of us! She gave some great recommendations. The cocktails were great (high recommend the lychee express and the burmarita). Food was good, but wasn't something to rave about. read more

Nice eatery located across the promenade from the Chase Center. Because of the proximity serves as a small café/eatery and a cocktail bar before heading over to games or events. Because of the large crowd, this place is really organized and the service is quick and friendly. We actually already had dinner before heading to this area, but my teenage nephew was still hungry so he got some food here, haha. I was mainly there just to grab a drink along with the family. We ordered some platha and dip, as well as some nan gyi dok - or some udon noodles with coconut curry chicken. I got a small bite of the food and it was tasty. I personally ordered the Los Warriors drink and it came out with the Golden State Warrior colors. So fun! It was tasty as well. If you want a lively fun spot with good food and beverages before heading over to a game or after (or events) at the Chase Center, this place is a great option. read more

Honestly was a little disappointed with this meal at Burma Love. Usually they are an incredible, but something was just missing in each dish. It felt like each one was a little bland, this was the first time at this location so not sure if it's an issue here or just an off day. We went after the Valkyries game so maybe they were just extra busy. The location is great and the outdoor seating right next to the stadium is cool. read more

I invited a friend to lunch at Thrive City and she wanted Southeast Asian food, so we arrived at Burma Love on a busy afternoon while the World Cup was on the big screen at Chase Center. Service was friendly but felt a bit pressured, as we had several different staff repeatedly asking us if we were ready to order. We got the tea leaf salad, which was just OK (I prefer it at Mandalay, Burma Superstar, and Burmatown). Our 2nd dish was the shan rice noodles with chicken & pickled vegetables, which despite smelling delicious was also just OK in flavor. We felt a similar pressure from staff to leave once we finished eating, despite the lunch crowd having thinned out & there being more open tables. We still had a nice time with the vibrant energy of the World Cup game, but this 2nd visit to the restaurant confirmed that I like the food at other Burmese restaurants more. read more

Stay away. We ate here before a Valkyries game because it is conveniently located adjacent to Chase Arena. However, our children's entrees never arrived. I asked two times. Our noodle dish was missing eggs, and they claim they don't make it with eggs. The rainbow salad was missing two ingredients and they claim that's how they make it. I have been to many Burmese restaurants and never had an experience as bad as this. Do yourself a favor and eat inside the arena, at least you will get what you want. read more

Burma Love has been one of my favorite restaurants in SF for years and this was my first time in a while and at this location! The rainbow salad and tea leaf salads are classics and were so delicious and flavorful. I preferred the rainbow salad due to the variety of ingredients and spices (over 22?! Ingredients) and types of tofu. Friends shared they enjoyed the mango chicken and sesame chicken. Service was great and food came out super quick! read more

Very friendly staff and gave a bar/restaurant vibe outside of Chase Center. The food and service was great, and I would recommend this location for hanging out with friends. It can get a bit loud but otherwise a great place to have dinner in the Mission Bay Area! 4.5/5 - Platha + Dip: A very flavorful and buttery appetizer! The platha serving was generous, though we would have desired more dip for the amount of bread that was served. The dip was savory and a perfect complement to the bread. We also thought the honey butter was light and sweet, which also mixed well with the dip when combined. 5/5 - Garlic Noodles - The star of our meal! The garlic was not overwhelming and was very flavorful. The portion was also quite generous and the vegetables were well-cooked and complement the noodles well. This is a great carb base to have your other entree meals. 2.5/5 - Burmese Style Curry - Beef - The meat and potatoes were cooked well but lacked much flavor. We weren't too impressed by the dish and did not see much uniqueness from other meat and potato dishes. 2/5 - French Fries - Not very impressed with these fries as they felt a bit soggy. Ketchup was served with the fries that didn't seem all that impressive. read more

Delicious, efficient pre-show group dinner! Grateful we could make a reservation for 8. Really appreciated our server's friendliness and recommendations. Loved the samusas, tea leaf salad, garlic noodles and coconut rice. Server also pointed out that tip was already included, which was kind. Will return! read more

Just finished eating here after attending the warriors game. They sat us down pretty quickly. It did take some time to get their attention to order since the tables were filling up. I was afraid it would take a while for the food to come, but boy was I wrong. So quick. Satisfied my hunger! Tea leaf salad was so flavorful and nutty. Platha with the dip. Oh my! So buttery and flakey and delicious!! Spicy noodle with chicken had a nice flavor to it. Decent amount of chicken as well. Burmese style fish curry was nicely tender and flakey in my mouth. The sauce over coconut rice. Perfection! Drinks are meh though. Mostly ice and not as much liquid. Filled the cup with all ice to the rim before pouring. It was super chill vibes. We sat outside. Even with the meh drinks, overall still 5 stars because the food and service were just too great! read more

I checked out Kayah by Burma Love for the first time while I was near Chase Center with some friends and it has quickly made it to one of my favorite restaurants around Mission Bay. Although the restaurant is on the smaller side and we did not have a reservation we were seated relatively fast and only had to wait about 12 minutes. The inside of the restaurant is gold and dark green and gives off a warm and cozy vibe. When we went we decided to get a few dishes and share family style but two of my absolute favorite dishes were the salt and pepper fried tofu as well as the Roti with dip. The salt and pepper fried tofu was perfectly dusted with spice and basil and served with a tangy sweet and spicy chili sauce and the Roti with dip had some of the most flakey buttery roti accompanied by chicken curry, and a salted butter as well as a sweet honey butter dip which was my favorite! read more

Great spot to grab drinks or dinner before a game!y husband and I came on a Saturday night. The same time as a Dua Lipa concert and was able to sit outside. We got the tea leaf salad, udon in chicken curry, mango lassi and the tea-misu. Everything was absolutely delicious! Although, I think the tea leaf salad at Burma Superstar is much better. Overall, service was fantastic and food had fantastic flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Takeout review: The tea leaf salad came highly recommended so I ordered along with garlic noodles, to-go. Strongly suggest if you order the salad to-go that you request for the dressing on the side! Big mistake for me and I did not enjoy the mushy morsels in my cardboard box. The garlic noodles ... are these authentic? There's cheese one them. Not sure if I'm a fan but I'm definitely still hungry. read more

Hey munchkins how's it going? I'm feeling great! I just did a midnight runners 5k run with the air purifier and I have to say my performance is really improving! In the past when I did my air purifier runs I could only go at a pace "The Quant" was walking at. Now I can keep up with him while sprinting and even beat him to the finish! Amusingly enough this run happened near Halloween so people thought my air purifier was part of a costume. When asked I told them I was a guy named Humza from a weekly autobiography called trash tales. Of course this is myself which people didn't pick up on which made it funnier. After such a resounding win we went to Kayah for some bomb Burmese food. The food was great! We got the spicy noodle with tofu and it was good. "Sergeant Sassy" said they were "aight". My friend got the Shan noodles with chicken. They were a bit too upbeat for my friends liking and were missing some salt but otherwise they were good. Finally "La Tacqueria Royalty" ate the sesame chicken. It was pretty solid and slightly crispy. He did wish there were more vegetables but all in all an enjoyable experience. The waitress was great and asked us up front if we had any food allergies which I appreciated. All in all a solid experience and I was super stoked I improved my air purifier run performance! read more

Had a very nice lunch here. It wasn't too busy which was nice. We got to pick Alger we wanted to sit. Since it's really windy outside, we decided to sit inside. We were given menus and water. We ordered the samosas, coconut chicken curry, side of jasmine rice and steak frites. Our food came out quickly. The samosa were delicious. Crispy on the outside and the dipping sauce it came with was really good. The steak frites was delicious. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the fries had a nice spicy seasoning on them. The coconut chicken curry was not our favorite. It didn't taste that good. Overall, the service was excellent and the food was good for the most part. read more

We were in town to see NIN at the Chase Center and had some time to kill before the concert, so we decided to try Burma Love for some spicy Burmese food & drinks. It was terribly crowded since there was an event here, and the place was absolutely swamped with concert goers and hungry goths. It's located in the Warriors Promenade just next to the Chase Center. Reservations are an absolute must if you're trying to eat here with an event going on! Thousands of people milling about looking for food, and your choices on a Sunday night are fairly limited. We were seated quickly despite the madness and got a cozy booth away from all of the foot traffic & chaos. 5-stars for the staff here for really hustling to accommodate & serve the absolute crush of people. They were very nice, attentive, professional, and pleasant despite the chaos. The inside is very nice & clean, with minimal decor and a big, bright atmosphere. The bar was an absolute tower and the tables (there aren't many), are well laid out and spaced apart. Another downside for this small restaurant is only having two bathrooms, which creates lines 10-12 people long, but the bathrooms are big, clean, and spacious. Outside is a patio, but then again, who would want to sit amongst the throngs of people waiting to go into Chase Center? Crazy crowded, busy, and chaotic. But, the ample & efficient staff really hold things down here, impressive service. We had a couple of cocktails including an old fashioned & some Golden State ciders. Prices were a bit higher than expected, but I guess a night out in San Francisco is always going to expensive. We order the salt & pepper tofu appetizer and the Samusa soup, since we wanted to stay light and nimble for the upcoming 3 hours of concert going. The drinks were good, but I did not enjoy the food. It was overly spicy, and the slickness definitely dominated the flavors and made it difficult to finish anything. The soup wasn't very hot (temperature-wise) but definitely too hot (spiciness-level). Mind you, I love spicy food, and very spicy levels, but this was so much so, thst you couldn't taste anything else except the red chili peppers . The salt & pepper tofu was pretty good, with ample portions for it being a $20 appetizer. The dipping sauce was flavorful, but don't reach too far under the dish, because you'll get another wallop of red peppers and over-bearing spices. We did finish the appetizer, but only about half of the soup. Pretty disappointed, and we did leave there still hungry after a $100 bill for only two cocktails and two smaller food dishes. +1 for the amazing service. Our waitress absolutely delivered everything quickly & efficiently, despite the swell of old NIN goths defending upon the restaurant all at the same time. Everyone was running around, yet controlled and attentive. They are very well-trained & composed, and I'm sure they experience this same situation every time there is a concert, event, or sports game at Chase Center. +1 for the drinks and +1 for the nice atmosphere and clean environment. The food was disappointing, as well as the long wait to use the bathrooms. I probably wouldn't go back here again, especially on a game or concert night, and if I did, I'd probably only stick to drinks & appetizers. The overly spicy food is the downside for me, I just could not taste anything besides red chili peppers. Maybe just stick to noodles or rice dishes or salad next time. Definitely come here for the drinks though! read more

Went here to watch the game, and we had a great time. The purple valkyries drink is very cool and on theme.

Inside is nicely decorated, lots of seating available, nice ambiance.

I walked in and wanted to check out the menu before I ate. I looked and then no one looked up to see if I wanted to order or be seated or leave. I eventually asked to be seated when I could get someone's attention. I was seated and asked if I wanted water. Yes please. They brought water and disappeared. I was not asked for my order for about ten minutes after I was seated. Once I got my order placed, the food and drink all came at the same time. Everything tasted great. It wasn't very busy when I got there, but it was by the time I left. Heads up, you'll need a code for the bathroom. read more

second time trying Burmese food so I'm still new to the cuisine but everything tasted amazing. We got the Burmese tiffin set for 2. The tea leaf salad was fresh and flavorful. The first time I had this dish elsewhere the ingredients were wilted and soft. The coconut chicken curry with the roti plata was the highlight. Soft chicken in a creamy coconut savory sauce. What more can you ask for. They were super accommodating to my dog being seated with us as well, even offering her some water. Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 9/10 read more

I went here with my coworkers for a nice dinner after work. The restaurant wasn't too crowded (maybe half full), but it is located near Chase Center so the plaza gets crowded when there's an event. Although we arrived early and the restaurant inside didn't look crowded, we were told that there would be a party in there soon and they offered to seat us outside. We waited near the entrance as one of the staff arranged the seats and were allowed to sit in the patio. The weather was nice that day and the restaurant played pop music that wasn't too loud. We ordered some drinks and a few appetizers to begin our meal. I had a ginger tea that was nice, hot, and flavorful, and it warmed me up as the night got chillier. We got some veggie samosas that were crispy on the outside and had a potato filling with warm spices and served with a slightly spicy and tangy dipping sauce. We also got some platha, which was a bread with thin, buttery layers and some vegetarian curry and honey butter for dipping. The table also got a tea leaf salad to share, which was mixed for us by one of the staff before we split it. The tea leaf salad was very refreshing and colorful. We then ordered four servings of coconut rice to eat with our main dishes: chicken curry, beef curry, kayah banana leaf fish, and eggplant with garlic sauce. I loved the eggplant with garlic sauce. The garlic sauce was sweet and savory at the same time and made it pleasant to eat with the eggplant. Both the chicken and beef curry had a nice curry soup and the chicken and beef were so juicy and tender. The banana leaf fish we had ordered after noticing how enticing it looked when another table ordered it. The black cod was steamed in banana leaf and served with sticky rice and salsa which paired with it perfectly. Despite the restaurant not being too busy, the service was a bit slow and we had to call the staff multiple times to ask when our food would come. They weren't able to serve us the coconut rice we had originally ordered and they gave us complementary jasmine rice instead, but they forgot to take the coconut rice off the bill so we had to ask for another tab with the coconut rice order removed. The food was very good and it's a nice place to go with friends although a bit pricier than I'm used to. I would probably go again (although not frequently) and only when there isn't an event in the area. read more

Kayah is a cozy and beautiful spot to experience well-loved Burmese dishes while you're in the Dogpatch/Mission Bat neighborhood (or before a show at the Chase Center). Price: ~$40/person Recs: Tea leaf salad - Tea leaf salad: Tangy, crunchy, and fresh -- and because I have a peanut allergy, they were able to put the peanuts on the side. - Roti Platha with Dip: Roti was flaky and not too oily. I think it would be nice to have more of the curry chicken and less of the butter since the curry seemed to complement the roti a bit more in my opinion. - Burmese Fried Chicken: Small, crispy pieces of glazed sweet and spicy chicken. Tasty and snackable but likely wouldn't be the most memorable dish of the meal. Service was super attentive and considerate about takeout containers. :) read more

Kayah by Burma Love serves elevated, savory Burmese cuisine. their food is fresh, rich, and tasty. I find myself reordering the Hamachi Crudo every time I go! if you like raw seafood, definitely try it out. they update the fruit they use depending on what's in season, so it's a little different every time! i have tried more than 50% of their menu and they have yet to disappoint. the roti platha + dip are a must as well. we took the recommendation of the bartender and tried the Mohinga fish chowder--so flavorful and filling! the portion sizes are pretty big. their vegetarian/vegan options are very limited, but they exist (they have about one tofu/vegetable option for each menu category). there are many gluten free options. the drinks are yummy, and they have a full bar so you can order off menu if you choose. they have non-alcoholic mocktails as well. it's at the chase center so naturally they are super busy on game days. service can be slow, and food & drink sometimes take a while as bartenders and servers try to appease every customer's orders. their bar is open seating and it's easier to get service there, but still expect a wait on game days. go early if you want to really experience it--you can make a reservation on OpenTable for their main dining room indoors or their outdoor patio. when they're not super busy, the friendly bartenders have time to chat. the ambiance is great and it's such a perfect summer vibe with their patio doors open for fresh breeze and sunlight! it gets chilly in mission bay so always bring layers and i don't think there are heaters on the patio. Kayah is a must-try at chase center! (especiallyyy if you eat meat and fish) read more

We wanted to see what is the difference between this restuarant and Burma Love, so we decided to give it a try! We got some drinks, the Tea Leaf Salad, and the Crispy Pork Belly! Their cocktails are amazing, smooth and balanced. The Tea Leaf Salad comes with baby gem, cabbage, tomato, jalapeno, nuts, seeds, shrimp floss, lemon and fish sauce. Which is really tasty, as good as Burma Love. The highlight was the Cripsy Pork! It's packed with flavor, the pork is juicy and tender, and paried well with ginger pineapple slaw and jasmine rice!

One would think a restaurant on the promenade at Chase Center would be all about game day "turn and burn" and on the days with no events the place would be "ok". Well that is not the case - this place is amazing! I had lunch on a non-game day and it was one of the better meals I've had in awhile! The lunch special plate- pictured here - was a wonderfully fresh, perfectly cooked and plated at a great price. Chicken thigh curry(yum!) , rice with a fried egg (!) charred cabbage (delicious) was perfect. Service was impeccable- I sat at the bar and bartender shared ideas for lunch and also shared other meal ideas for dinner. The room packs so much in a "not giant" space. I consider Kayah to be a wonderful restaurant that happens to be adjacent to Chase Arena. Enjoy!! read more

I was so excited to head to the last Warriors game with my dad and have the opportunity to finally try Kayah by Burma Love for lunch before we headed into the early Sunday call time for the game. Such a beautiful space for a pre-game meal. We cozied up to the bar and order a round of drinks and the Tea Leaf Salad to start. FYI this salad has jalapeños that definitely give it a kick and an elevated taste if you're familiar with grabbing the tea leaf salad at Burma Superstar. The couple next to us gave a pro tip to add a side of garlic chips to sprinkle on top of the salad while giving us the remainder of theirs. So good, so vibrant, so delicious. A great start to the meal. We then ordered the Garlic Noodles, the Burmese Fried Chicken, and side of coconut rice. Great portions and perfect for two people. Absolutely loved the flavors in everything ~ the garlic noodles seem like they're a must order, the fried chicken was done just perfectly prepared as sliced tendrils, and honestly could have that coconut rice everyday for the rest of my life...yum! Curious to see the dinner menu and if there are any standout dishes..also would be fun for a future game to sit in their outdoor space. Overall, super friendly & happy staff with extremely quick and efficient service. Felt like such a treat and hopefully if the Dubs make the playoffs, this won't be my last trip to Kayah for now :)) read more

This is a solid spot to grab a meal and drink before a Warriors game. I highly recommend making a reservation if there's an event happening at Chase Center, as it fills up quickly.

Wow, what great food, great vibes, nice staff, perfect location, overall amazing first experience with Burmese food! Came on a Friday evening and ordered the following: - Rainbow popiah ($14): spring rolls, filled with veggies and rice noodles - yummy but isn't a must next time (3/5) - Roti platha + dip ($20): large service size with yummy spreads, the honey butter was so light and sweet (4.5/5) - Kayah Beef Curry ($28): does not come with rice -- ordered a coconut rice on the side -- beef chunks and potatos. Beef was a little tough, not spicy (4.5/5) - Crispy Pork Belly ($25): A MUST-TRY, the fat melts in your mouth, the meat very juicy, and the skin fried perfectly (5/5) - Chinese eggplant ($12): so soft and sweet, melts in the mouth (4/5) It is so pretty interior and the server was such a nice guy. Had such a nice smile and warm aura, constantly checked up on us. There's also a nice walk out patio area to watch the warriors game while eating, or sitting outside on a nice sunny day. read more

Solid Burmese spot in SF! Stopped by here for lunch on a weekday and there were only a few parties dining at the time. We were given the option to either sit at the table or at the bar, and chose the table. The inside is well-decorated with a upscale touch. The servers were attentive, and water was refilled constantly. Here is our order: Tea Leaf Salad- Served in a large portion, and our server kindly explained each ingredient in this dish, which I really appreciated! It had an amazing mixture of flavors and textures. Burmese Fried Chicken- Cooked to perfection with a tasty glaze. There is a tad spicy taste to it but it was not overwhelming at all. Garlic Noodles- Come in a sharable portion. They were a little bit oilier than I prefer, but still delicious and satisfying! Conveniently located in Thrive City, this restaurant is perfect for a meal before/after events or when you are simply in the area! read more

Kayah is one of the few new restaurants at Thrive City. It is the sister restaurant of Burma Superstar, B Star, Teakwood, and Burma Love. Just as its predecessors, Kayah is highly popular and sought after. Food was delicious and service was even better. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed with opem arms. Located right inside Thrive City, it's a great place to grab some drinks and food before a game/concert. It gets very crowded so plan accordingly. FYI, they don't take reservations if there is a game so arrive early. We ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, Pad Thai, Salt and Pepper Tofu and Spicy Crispy Pork Belly. The tea leaf salad was full of flavor and there's a lot of different textures. This is a must if you are having Burmese food! Pad Thai was yummy. Pretty standard, you can't go wrong with this dish! Salt and Pepper Tofu was crispy and the spices they sprinkled on the tofu brought the dish to life. Lastly, Spicy Crispy Pork Belly was the best dish. Full of flavor, it went very well with the rice and egg and the pickled veggies. The samusa also so delicious with their Tamarind Chutney. Definitely one of a must try restaurant at Thrive City. You are in for a treat! read more

Delicious food, quick service, and right in the heart of the chase arena plaza! I've ordered the platha dip multiple times now -- plentiful portion and my absolute favorite item on their menu. The salt and pepper tofu is just a notch better than the rest, with a nice small spicy kick and some extra seasoning, some crispy skin too. I've come here multiple times with various friends and it's a fan favorite for sure. I've never come on a game day, when I presume it's packed to the brim, so I've always walked straight in. read more

I stopped by this restaurant before a concert at Chase Center, and unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had. Having worked in Burmese cuisine for over five years and eaten at Burmese restaurants throughout the Bay Area, I came in with high expectations. Sadly, this restaurant fell well short of them. The experience started on the wrong foot. We stood at the front for about six minutes without anyone acknowledging us. It wasn't until a busser noticed us, apologized for the wait, and seated us even though that wasn't her responsibility that we were finally helped. She was the only employee who made us feel welcome. Once seated, things didn't improve. Our server never introduced himself or checked in with us. We eventually had to flag him down just to let him know we were ready to order. Basic hospitality shouldn't require customers to chase down their server. For the prices this restaurant charges, the level of service is unacceptable. There are plenty of Burmese restaurants in the Bay Area that offer warmer service, more authentic food, and significantly better value. The food itself was equally disappointing. The $25 tea leaf salad was overwhelmingly oily, with very little of the signature tea leaf flavor. Instead of the bright, balanced flavors that make this dish so iconic, it tasted bland and heavy. It also lacked ingredients that are commonly found in traditional versions, making it feel far from authentic. To make matters worse, I asked for a small ramekin of extra dressing and was told it would cost an additional $5. Charging that much for a small portion of dressing especially when the salad itself lacked flavor felt unreasonable. In the end, we spent over $100 on two appetizers and two drinks, without even ordering an entrée. The meal, service, and overall experience simply didn't justify the cost. If you're looking for a meal before an event at Chase Center, I'd strongly recommend spending your money elsewhere.
