    Hot sauce for garlic noodles
    Kristine F.

    I've been here twice now and figured it's time for a review. Solid Burmese spot when I'm craving tea leaf salad! Eats: Tea Leaf Salad Chicken Palata Salt n Pepper Calamari Fish Pumpkin Curry (crispy breaded filet) Garlic Eggplant Nan Gyi Dok noodles Coconut Rice My usual order consists of the salad, flaky palata flatbread, and the noodles (like a yellow chicken curry with wide rice noodles). Burmese coconut rice is sticky and sweet like dessert. I prefer plain jasmine rice but my friends like the coconut variety. Tea leaf salad has so many crispy crunchy textures with the tea leaf oil dressing. I love it! I'm not a huge fan of eggplant because it gets mushy but their's is firm enough for me with excellent garlic sauce. Their blue green water cups are from IKEA, which I thought was pretty cool. Employees are attentive and courteous. The first time I ate here, we arrived 45 min before closing and they were still nice to us. They didn't kick us out but we felt bad and left 15 min past close time. I'll definitely come back!

    Food is good. Lot of options for vegetarian. Dishes come fast and order are all correct. Great place to celebrate with friends or business clients. Reliable quality. Parking is a little tough.

    This was my first time tasting Burmese and I loved it! The food was delicious, service was good, and we didn't have to wait long on a Friday night. Definitely going back. We ordered: - Samosas: good flavor. Didn't need the accompanying sauce. - Palata with Curry Dip: delicious! The Palata was perfectly crispy. The dip paired deliciously with it. Not too strong or overpowering. - Crispy Pork Belly: this was OK. It wasn't as chewy as we thought it would be. I liked that. - House Noodle: so tasty! I loved it. Highly recommend. - Mango chicken: this was OK. I love the flavor, tastes like eating a mango, but I wish the chicken was fried, it's grilled. It would pair nicely with rice. Not bad, just not my preference. - Chili Beef: this was delicious! The beef was tender and packed with flavor. Not too spicy. - Pineapple Fried Rice: Great addition to our order. Really good.

    It was my first time eating here. We got seated quickly since there weren't many folks in the restaurant, since it was during the winter holidays & people were prob out of town right before NYE. We ordered: Tea Leaf Salad - Ok. Wouldn't try again. A bit too fermented. Burma Crispy Chicken - Think an upgraded Chinese orange chicken that's nice & crispy with a thin crust! Yum!! 10/10 would order again! Best thing I had there!! Nan Gyi Thoke Noodles - Yummy! I would order again! The staff were very attentive. I had a pleasant experience here & would come back!

    Samosa soup
    Neeta M.

    I have been to Burma Taste for lunch quite often. Last night I ordered it to go. I don't know if it was the cold weather and hot food combination or the spicy sauce they gave - But OMG, I loved the food! We got black pepper prawns, lemongrass chicken and garlic green beans. I always enjoy the tea leaf salad! When I asked for the hot sauce to go, the lady asked me, how many - I said 2 - she gave it without hesitation. I love hot sauces, but this was super spicy. Handle with caution :) Post Covid, they have created an outdoor seating for this place. Ambiance is great. They have a lot of great restaurants on Murphy street now to choose from :)

    Burmese Chow Mein
    Ethan A.

    Heard about this place and decided to try it out. Got the Tea Leaf Salad, Samosa, Pumpkin Curry, Burmese Curry, Burmese Chow Mein, and the Eggplant Garlic. Tea salad is super savory as the dressing is made with fermented tea leaves. It's was delicious and refreshing. The samosa were fried well and hot. Wouldn't necessarily get them again though as there are other options on the menu. The curries were both amazing. They were flavorful, but not spicy spicy so those with a low tolerance are able to enjoy them. The Burmese curry, to me, tasted similar to some Filipino dishes and the chicken that we got with it was super tender. The pork in the Pumpkin curry was also super tender which I liked. As for the Chow Mein, I probably would've rather tried the House noodles. Eggplant was very tasty. All the food came out in like 10-15 minutes which is super fast. Service was nice and friendly. There's plenty of seating inside and some outside. Parking can be tough if it's busy but there's always the parking garages. Overall, great food, go check them out!

    Tea Tea Leaf Salad

    My friend and I visited this location on a Friday evening at around 7pm. When we arrived we were surprised that there was extra outdoor seating since the space is covered and has space heaters. We were greeted and seated immediately which was a huge plus in my book. To kick things off, we ordered several dishes to prepare for a family style meal. The first dish we ordered was the tea leaf salad since you can't go wrong with that - it ended up being mediocre. Compared to the previous tea leaf salads I've had such as Mingalaba in Burlingame, this one just didn't have the right kick. The next thing we ordered was the garlic noodles with shrimp - the noodles on this dish was bland, it really lacked flavor and there was about 5 shrimps in that dish... I highly do not recommend this dish. Lastly, we ordered the pepper chicken which was the highlight of the meal - pair it with a bowl of jasmine rice and it was pure perfection. Overall, I'd say definitely come and try it. My more accurate rating for this spot would be about a 3.7 stars.

    Decent food, good atmosphere. Went here for dinner to celebrate a birthday and they gave us a complimentary birthday vanilla ice cream with a candle, served with a sprinkle of edible birthday confetti flakes, a candy cherry , and orange slices in a martini cocktail (triangular) glass!! The ice cream was rich and creamy and had a gelato-like texture and consistency without feeling too thick or heavy. We ordered the black pepper beef, vegetable curry (green beans, carrots, okra, eggplant, tofu), and samosas. Loved the potato samosas!! The beef had nice flavor but was really tough and hard to chew/break apart for some pieces. The vegetable curry was soupy and tasted really good (green beans and tofu were a highlight, and eggplant was good but there was only 1 tiny partial piece of eggplant included in the dish), but doesn't come with rice. We had a nice dinner overall and the waitress gave us a bag automatically for our Togo boxes - that attention to detail was appreciated! Service was efficient and friendly!

    Sesame Chicken
    Prath C.

    We came here on Sunday night for dinner. There was little wait and we were seated pretty quickly. The ambiance was lively and the waiters were super friendly and came to check in on us and fill up water multiple times. We ordered: - Tea Leaf Salad - Delicious and loved the flavor, highly recommend this! - Sesame Chicken with Jasmine Rice on the side - The Sesame Chicken was pretty good - a bit too sweet for my liking, but a good combination with the rice. The rice is not included and will need to be purchased separately. The portion sizes are very generous and you can easily share the food and eat it family style. Overall, I had a good experience and will be back in the future to try other items on the menu!

    Lychee Martini
    Kezia P.

    My favorite Burmese restaurant! Stumbled on it on DoorDash. But it's too easy to miss if you're casually strolling on Murphy Ave. it's on the far end relative to where all the other restaurants are. Once you get there, there's both indoor/outdoor seating with casual ambiance. Service was good & faaast! Lychee Martini: 5+ stars!! If you like lychee this is it. It's not just faint flavoring but you can actually taste the fruit & comes with 3 pieces as garnish. The tea leaf salad & samosa soup won't disappoint you either - 5 stars! We tried Dessert Palata for the first time. It's basically Palata with ice cream and was pretty good.

    Tea Leaf Salad (delivered to work through Relish catering)
    Jody T.

    PSA: if you are ordering from this restaurant through Relish or similar delivery service, you might want to lower your expectations. I ordered their $20 Tea Leaf Salad through my $15 work subsidy and paid the difference so I could get something nice and filling. But that's not what was delivered, imo. What I got is a takeout box filled with shredded romain, a sprinkling of the other incredients and a lot of the fermented chili dressing on the side. My heart sank when I opened the box. I wanted to give their salad a chance and try it before casting judgement because what was boxed up might have been more pleasant than what my eyes were seeing. But it was nothing special -- I am still wondering who they are getting to knowingly buy this salad for $19.99...

    We were a group of 8 for dinner, went without reservation on a weekday and got a table inside right away. The ambience was alright. The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered a bunch of appetizers- Shan tofu, tea leaf salad, mango salad. The tofu was perfectly crispy and sauce was tasty. Tea leaf salad had good flavors with crispy lentils and peanuts. Mango salad was also good, but we liked tea leaf salad more. The server made/mixed the tea leaf salad at the table. Next we got two Samosa soups to share. It is a lentil soup with samosa, falafel and slaw toppings. Both the soup base and toppings were excellent. For mains, we got the crispy chicken and string beans which was both good. For dessert we shared a sweet black sticky rice which came with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. It was a good dessert and large enough to share for 4 people for small bites. Overall the service was quick and the food and drinks arrived quickly.

    Lychee Martini
    Carlos C.

    We really wanted to like this place more than we did. The restaurant is located on historic Murphy Ave. They have plenty of seating, with a majority of it outside on Murphy Ave. The service was helpful and attentive to our questions and requests. The food was good, but nothing that would want to make me go back. The Samosas app was the highlight of the meal. They were hot and flaky and had good flavor. The special dipping sauce was a nice addition to the plate. The Tofu Garlic Noodles were just okay. We had hoped that they would be more garlic tasting and have the smoke flavor on them. The Basil Lemongrass Chicken plate was just okay. We didn't taste basil or lemongrass in this plate. We had high hopes. They do have a spicy sauce that added some heat to the plates. The drinks were just okay. We ordered a Lychee Martini, which had good flavor and came with three lychees. The Espresso Martini was too sweet for our liking and couldn't taste any alcohol. I don't think we will be back anytime soon.

    I've never had Burmese cuisine before, but this looks delicious from the pictures and reviews. Yet sadly I have food allergies. Is there any sauce on the side or a way to over some dishes that don't have Monosodium glutamate/MSG? Any menu suggestion?

    My daughter has several allergies and she seemed ok with the food. They are very accommodating and helped me with picking the right dishes.

    Do they need reservations?

    Not on weekdays.

    What's the outdoor seating like?

    They have a great little patio on Murphy.

I love a good tea leaf salad, but I do not like peanuts. I wish this establishment let you make notes or had an option for no peanuts. I ended up having to pick them all out which wasn't a big deal. But it was slightly annoying. Otherwise I enjoyed the flavors of the fermented tea leaf. I want more jalapenos and lemon for contrast. Luckily I had those items at home to add. Good option for a tea leaf salad. Just wish they would let you get it without peanuts thru Uber Eats. REVIEW #4035
