Fiery Vegetables (Tofu) - Spicy: 4* Biryani Rice: 4* Good ambience with indoor and outdoor seating on Murphy street (Sunnyvale Downtown) read more

The vibe was really nice, enjoyed some Pinot noir, and 3 dishes I really loved, especially the Garlic Noodles, they were really good! I think they would do great with a greater wine selection of reds. I also liked the spicy veggies that had tofu, string beans and bell peppers. They were indeed very spicy but overall really good! Definitely coming back here with girlfriends or on a date read more

My friend and I came here before seeing one of our favorite DJ's at Pure. There was no wait, and we got a table outdoors. We ordered the sesame tofu and Burmese house noodles with tofu. The sesame tofu was chef's kiss, perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavour. The house noodles were good but a bit too sweet for my preference. Overall had a good experience though and would come back when visiting my friend. read more

Burma Taste - Sesame Tofu, Burma House Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I had one of the best meals ever! Loved every dish. Especially sweet chilli tofu! 1. Spring Rolls (3/5): (my parents loved it but I didn't) 2. Shaan Tofu (1/5): There was hardly any Tofu and it was too deep fried. 3. Spicy or Crispy Tofu (4.5/5): One of their starters / dry main courses where I subbed the Chicken with Tofu. It was amazing! 4. Sweet Chilli Tofu (5/5): (it's phenomenal!) Ask them to get the sweet sauce on the side - please not over it as it's wayyyyy to sweet then. 5. Burma House Noodle (5/5): (vegan, no egg in a separate wok with peanuts on the side). Tasted really good. Wish it had more veggies and was less greasy Will definitely come back to try more vegan options (I've heard that the tea leaf salad, mango tofu are all great vegan options) This is a vegan / veg / vegetarian / plant based review read more

Was walking around Murphy street on Sunday looking for a place to eat and saw people seated outside Burma Taste. Dishes looked amazing so decided to try it. Just Ama-jing! 5 stars for me ! My only regret was my stomach was not big enough to try more yummy items but I'll definitely be coming back and do a part II review. Samosas 4/5 There were still stayed warm even sitting out side slightly chilly weather. Perfect balance of spiced potatos and peas. Tea leaf salad 5/5 Wanted my friend to try for the first time and was blown away. Fresh tea leaves w garlic and elements of crunch -peanut, sesame seeds and lime juice. Ama-jing! Fish chowder soup 5/5 Took a gamble on this one and turned out epic! Thin vermicelli noodles in a savory broth w fish n veggies. Not overpowered fish taste and well balanced. Loved the side of tumeric crisps and veggies you can drop into the soup to amplify the textures. Interior: 5/5 Cozy indoor and outdoor seating.wooden seat indoors w benches against the walls. Perfect date spot and food pics are IG worthy. Price: 4/5 Prices are good for the Murphy street area and they are offering a rare food experience not easily duplicated .Totally worth it ! Service: 4/5 Good service ..waited about 15 mins after the order and salad came out first, then the soup and samosas. We had food left over gave us boxes but no bag. Parking Tip* Large parking lot across the street but was completely full on Sunday afternoon. We had to drive around a bit but found a secret parking lot behind the restaurant with some open spots .

I come here anytime I am in the Bay Area, because it is so good here! Love the outdoor seating downtown, and the plethora of vegetarian options. This time I tried the black pepper tofu and it was perfectly seasoned, and paired perfectly with the coconut rice. They were also really nice and brought out a scoop of ice cream for my mom's birthday. I will be back! read more

We've been wanting to go to this place for a while, and last night we finally did! We went on a Saturday night and there was no wait for us which was nice. We got the samosas, the chicken curry, and the fiery tofu with lamb and overall enjoyed everything! The samosas were pretty big, with a good amount of filling and a very crispy exterior. The chicken curry was good, nice flavor on the curry and the chicken was very tender and juicy. I also loved the fiery tofu with lamb! The tofu itself had a nice chewy texture, the lamb was cooked very well and the sauce had a good amount of spice without being overwhelming. I'd definitely come back! read more

We celebrated Mother's Day here a couple weeks ago. We sat outside and they drew the shades for us. We ordered: Tea leaf salad: 5/5 the best item we ordered. Nice crispy and refreshing. Palata with chicken curry: 5/5 chicken curry dip sauce was amazing. Great flavor. Honey Walnut shrimp: 2/5 not very good. Skip this. We had some at home eats the week before and it was decent there. I guess kids don't like walnut shrimp. Crispy pork belly: 4/5 kids enjoyed this crispy breaded pork. Burma house noodle beef: 2.5/5 a super sweet version of pad thai. Eggplant garlic: 4/5 good Sesame tofu: 3/5 this is sweet but not as sweet as the noodles. If we go back I would stick with the tea leaf salad and curry chicken. read more

Burma taste was so good! Definitely will be coming here again as a stop when I am in norcal. Everything was so authentic and the restaurant is in a popular plaza with much to do and good boba. The crispy pork appetizer was so good and legit and will definitely get that again. The noodles here are also so good and full of flavor. Workers were super helpful and helped me order what was good. Food also came out very fast and quickly too! Definitely go here for some amazing Asian food read more

Come back again after a while to take my family to dinner! And it's still as amazing as ever!

It was just a great experience. Definitely taking my family here again! read more

Great option! I'm a regular at Burma Choice in San Jose so I was happy to find out that Burma Taste served as the blueprint for the San Jose location. My recommendations: Nan Gyi Thoke - mild coconut sauce that is very smooth. I like to ask for spice to be added at medium level. Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp - Great for sharing and not too sweet. Samosas - Delicious. Crunchy in the outside and good level of seasonings. The accompanying sauce has a light sweetness. Service: Wait staff was very attentive and the food came out quickly. Ambiance: Warmly lit cozy vibes. It was busy, but there was plenty of seating on a Friday night for dinner. read more

Went in with no idea of what to expect because I'd never had Burmese food before. Right away we got seated and the service was great. We ordered the tea leaf salad which was very savory and flavorful, the chicken noodles which were creamy and herby, and the sesame tofu which was sweet and crispy. Overall, I am very satisfied with my first Burmese food experience and I'd be back to try some more food. read more

Came here for another weekday date night! Like last time, the tea leaf salad was solid. I tried their mohinga, my favorite Burmese dish, and it didn't disappoint! Lastly, we got the shan tofu which was really oily. It would have been delicious with the sweet spicy sauce but the greasiness was too much. The plate actually had oil pooling at the bottom. I wish they let the tofu sit on paper towels before serving. No wait on a Tuesday evening. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Though indoor seating tended to get kind of noisy and outdoor seating didn't always get attention. read more

Tea leaf salad is bomb Great crunch and a fun combination of textures. Other food is great as well. Great place to get some Burmese food. Their dishes are well spiced but not overpowering. Meat is generous in portion and tender. Only qualm is that rice doesn't come with the dishes and you gotta pay extra ($2.50 for a small bowl?) read more

Food was good. Service was ok. We asked our waitress for the wifi. She was going to enter it for us on the phone, but another waiter stopped her and said it's "not working," and our waitress gave her a look. So minus a few stars for that. read more

This place has been on our list of places to try for some time, but it wasn't until this evening that we finally made it. After enjoying the Caltrain holiday train festivities nearby, we strolled on over and arrived a little over an hour before closing. The restaurant was not busy at all and we got seated right away and considered our options on the menu. As we were a small group we didn't order a lot of items tonight, and it was a bit agonizing deciding what to get because there are many interesting dishes to choose from. We feasted on the following: Tea leaf salad - the first time I ever had this, at a restaurant up in Belmont, I didn't like it. But we had heard that Burma Taste does this well. Their version consists of romaine lettuce with a fermented green tea paste and a variety of crunchy elements, with just a little bit of jalapeno to give it a bit of heat. I rather liked this quite a bit, it probably could have used a little more of the green tea flavor. Mango shrimp - the shrimp was expertly cooked, and the mango pieces were tender and sweet, but not cloyingly so. Sesame tofu - battered and fried cubes of tofu in a sweet sesame sauce. Overall very good, probably could have used a little of of spice to balance the sweetness. We also got an order of coconut rice and biryani rice, both of which had good flavor though the biryani probably wasn't the right pairing for our dishes. I expected the biryani rice to be a little spicy, but it actually wasn't. A note about the seafood dishes: you have a choice of either shrimp or swai. Personally, I don't find swai to be an especially flavorful fish, so I was a little disappointed that this was the only option. But I might give it a try here, since it's the seasonings that I'd be tasting, and swai does actually have a decent flaky texture. Prices were okay, maybe just a little on the higher side but the portions were fairly generous. Our final tally for the three dishes, two servings of rice, and one beer was about $90 including tip. Service was prompt and attentive, and our food came out very quickly. Definitely a good first experience. I'm looking forward to trying other things on future visits. read more

Great food, very very different from the usual fare I try. My first time at this Burmese restaurant. Our group of 4 did mostly small plates and our and favorite picks were the tea salad, Samosa soup, sweet chilli tofu and the lettuce wraps. For dessert we tried the fried banana jackfruit, and the sticky black rice....both served with ice cream. All of these were lip smacking good. They have a full bar as well and the cocktails were superb...esp the passionfruit martini! Clean and nice ambience, friendly service, parking was easy and a lot of vegetarian options. Definitely try if you are on the Murphy downtown at Sunnyvale. read more

Pretty good Burmese restaurant in Sunnyvale. I got the tea leaf salad and the mango chicken. The food was decent, but not sure if it's the best of either I've had before. There's a good amount of seating both inside and outside, and the servers were all very kind. Overall, good Burmese food for the area but personally not my favorite. Worth the try though. read more

Some of their food is excellent so I'm sad to post this review but I have to call them out on shrinking their portions for delivery. The last time I had them (probably about a month ago), the container was twice the size of what I got today and with the prices they charge, they've proven themselves to be just another greedy restaurant. When I can count the number of chicken pieces, you've done the customer wrong!!! $23.99 for this. Same thing with the tea salad. read more

One of the waitstaff (off hours) was sitting at the table behind us. He came over twice to our table to mention that our 3 person table was too loud in the back area. We were celebrating a birthday and it was a Sunday night. He was threatening to our table and started to approach our table in a semi-confrontational way. The birthday girl already spoke to the restaurant. This was a couple weeks ago. The food was great overall, and I love all the other restaurant locations! read more

I went out with friends on a weekday for lunch as it just opened. It's located in Sunnyvale with other restaurants and clubs nearby. It was not busy during lunch hours. There are booths inside so plenty of seating. For the food, we got samosas, eggrolls, Burma house noodles, and dessert palata. The samosas were simply delicious and had a spicy, aromatic kick to it if you were to eat more of them. As for the eggrolls, they were okay and could be decently better if they had more crunch to them. The Burma house noodles reminded me of pad thai but with a different taste as it had bell peppers and more vegetables added to it. For dessert palata with ice cream, it was like flatbread drizzled with condensed milk which was such a good warm, sweet combination! I would come here again and try the other dishes. read more

I come here at least once every other month. My Mexican family likes to stick to Mexican food only & even they loovvveee this place. A little pricy but it's food you can't find anywhere else in the area. They also have good beer & yummy Thai tea. Food comes out quick & they have spicy sauces that are actually spicy which is greatly appreciated. The only thing I would change is what they show on the tvs. I would remove them completely since they don't really fit the vibe but even if they keep them, they have random cooking channels & it's really odd since it has nothing to do with the food you're consuming & sometimes it's even slaughtering chickens which again, very odd to show to people waiting for their food read more

Why does Burma Taste not have more reviews and ratings?? I have not been able to stop thinking about their food for weeks! My friends and I ordered takeout from Burma Taste and got our large nine-item order in about 20 minutes. All we heard during dinner was a symphony of "oh my god" and "MMMM"--that's how good the food is. Our favorites were the eggplant, tea leaf salad, Nan Gyi Thoke, and samosas. The thick slices of eggplant were tender and garlicky. They cooked them in a way that nicely retained the skin's purple hue. The tea leaf salad was a perfect refreshing side and a full textural experience with crispy, crunchy fried bits. The Nan Gyi Thoke was flavorful and heart-warming; it tasted like a delicious home-cooked meal. For the samosas, the potato filling was treated with a nice assortment of spices that left you wanting more even though you were probably full from half due to its sheer size! I'm daydreaming about my next visit to Burma Taste... read more

Raving about the lemon water, such a small thing but makes a huge difference! Complimentary and thank you for a refreshing beverage! They also are great about refills without any prompting. Service was very warm overall. Great samosas - the size of an adult fist, you get four of them. Perfectly fried and the aromatic curry was delightful. The veggie curry with tofu - flavorful and lots thinly sliced fried tofu. Pumpkin stew, typically with pork we subbed lamb, lamb was pretty tough and dry. Stew - good. Tea leaf salad - extra garlicky and some heat too, Portions were generous and still felt light. It was nice to sit indoors next to the open patio so we could get a little fresh air with a cool blast of AC. Definitely on my shortlist for DT Sunnyvale, read more

We love burmese food so I decided to book a reservation here. They can be quite busy so it is a littler hard to get ahold of them on the phone. Our table was nicely set up for us by the time we arrived and service is quick. It can be a little hard to get their attention as they are a very popular restaurant. As a party of 12, we decided to split into three orders to make things easier. We ordered a tea leaf salad, coconut rice, nan gyi dok, lamb curry and fried pork belly. We also ordered a few drinks that were extremely flavorful and fresh. The food was high quality and delicious. My main gripe is the portions as we ordered 4 dishes and most of us were still hungry after the meal. The lamb curry also came out after everyone had finished their food. The staff were all very nice when coordinating the birthday dessert and as soon as we finished our last dish, they brought out an ice cream with a candle to the birthday boy as we all celebrated. Great place for parties and food~ read more

There were plenty of free parking available around this restaurant. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. We opted for indoor dining. Once we entered the restaurant, we were greeted and seated by a friendly waitress. We ordered the Burmese iced milk tea, rainbow salad, nan gyi thoke, pumpkin pork stew, and coconut rice. The food came out in a timely manner. When the waitress brought over the rainbow salad and nan gyi thoke, she mixed them for us. The Burmese iced milk tea was refreshing and it wasn't too sweet, which we liked. The tamarind dressing was paired well with the rainbow salad. The nan gyi thoke and pumpkin pork stew were tasty and flavorful. The pork chunks were lean and tender, which we really liked. The prices were fairly reasonable and they gave generous portions. The helpful waitress provided excellent service. We will be back to try their tea leaf salad and other entrees. read more

I've been to many Burmese restaurants, and really love the food! This was quite a disappointment today. Ordered the tea, salad chicken, fried rice, and pumpkin curry with shrimp. Sadly, none of these were good. Lacked flavour overall, and quite bland. The pumpkin curry was surprisingly bad with big chunks of pumpkin thrown together that was not even fully cooked so they were a little hard to eat, very unlike pumpkin curry at a Thai restaurant that I absolutely love. My bad if this is what pumpkin curry in the Burmese style is like but I was not impressed. The service was good, and the outside seating was really good as well. The only nit there was, they did clean the table, but there was all kinds of food thrown on the floor, which nobody bothered to clean. read more

Been here twice , so I'm finally writing my review . Both times were really good Pros Food 5/5. Get the shan tofu if that's something you have never had before. Large portions. Salads included Most of the wait staff are of burmese descent. Eggplant curry, noodle salad & shan tofu definitely stand outs at this location They have wall murals that depict burmese culture Cons I got mild allergy with shrimp for their shan tofu as it's deep fried, so that's something to be mindful of. read more

This is an excellent restaurant along an adorable restaurant row! The food quality was top notch with each dish being a 5/5. We had the tea leaf salad, roti with chicken, noodles with chicken, and spicy eggplant with shrimp. This was plenty for two people. The service was friendly with recommendations on the menu. The food came out fast and hot. I highly recommend trying this spot when in the area. read more

This was my first time trying Burmese cuisine and it was tasty! Went here for dinner last night and I had a pleasant time. The weather was nice so we chose to be seated outdoors.  At first I was having a difficult time deciding what to order because there were so many options. But our server recommended the nan gyi thoke noodles which was super delicious! It was a great portion, with a good flavor and texture. We also ordered the minty jalapeño chicken and that was scrumptious as well! Only downside was the water tasted a bit weird to me and when sitting outside it was difficult to get the attention of our server for the check. There was limited parking at the parking lot a block away but there are nearby parking garages that you can go to as well. read more

Would you walk 2 miles round trip just for Burmese food? Walked 1 mile from our house, as nearby parking at a premium on Wednesday and Saturday nights during the summer concerts on Murphy street. The fish chowder was full of soft thin vermicelli noodles, but not much of a fish taste. Relatively bland chowder and a bit on the oily side, with mainly noodles, onions, garlic but not much fish. Needed more spicy chili to liven up the otherwise bland catfish. The tea leaf salad had just about everything, from sesame, peanuts, garlic chips, yellow beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, to romaine lettuce, crushed dried shrimp, covered with green tea dressing. Excellent dish, but expensive at $17 just for a salad. For that price expected more seafood or meat. The Nan ghi thoke was outstanding, with curry sauce and chicken mixed in with raw onions, and slices of hard boiled egg. Very tender and fresh chicken went well with the tasty coconut curry sauce. Best dish of the evening. The band was so loud down the street, that we dined indoors with the door closed. We could have dined right on the tables on the street next to the band. But would have left deafened in both ears. read more
