The reviewers don't lie about this wonderful little Burmese cuisine place. Friends have told us…read moreabout it, and the reviews tell a story too. The location in Loomis is a little off the beaten path (you think you are leaving town), and in a super small strip mall. Step inside and you find a cute little family owned restaurant that will make you wonder "where did I just get transported to?"... A few tables in the front room and a second dining area to the right. It is important to note that you MUST be patient! There is only the owner running the front of house here. She is doing everything. Super friendly, and being as quick as she can to get tables cleared, people seated, orders taken and served. She does all of this with the most wonderful smile and personality. You will immediately fall in love with her. Many of the diners on this particular night already knew her and appeared to have long standing relationships with the family. We came in on a Saturday evening around 5:15pm and the floor was packed. It remained that way until around 6:30pm. I would suggest coming in later in the evening so the 'regulars' can get in and out. Ok, so now on to the food and why the Green Elephant is such a standout. Everything is super fresh, and flavorful with great depth in the sauces. We started with the tea leaf salad, and pork lumpia. Then Panang chicken and spicy garlic pepper pork and an order of rice. We love spicy food, and requested such (she has a spice scale of 1-10). Our mains were a level 7 and that was sufficient to give us good heat without compromising the flavors. She will also bring you a small dish of chili pepper oil if you want even more heat. By the time we were finished, the floor had cleared, so we know now to arrive a little later. But, return we will !!!

A hidden gem in Loomis that truly feels like home…read more This family-owned Thai restaurant is open only for dinner, and you can feel the love in every detail. The owner cooks everything himself, while his wife warmly takes orders -- a beautiful, old-school partnership that instantly makes you feel welcome. The interiors are cozy and thoughtfully done, creating a calm, inviting atmosphere. The food is exquisite, clearly made with care and experience -- flavors that stay with you long after the meal. Yes, there can be long wait times, but it's absolutely worth it. This is not fast food; it's food made with heart. A place that reminds you why small, family-run restaurants are so special Highly recommended if you're in Loomis and don't mind slowing down for something truly memorable.

The food and service at My Burma, fantastic!…read more Juni, our server made great recommendations and was well aware of the menu. Juni was very pleasant and efficient. I will recommend this location HIGHLY.

Came to My Burma with my boyfriend and his family for an early lunch. We had our pups with us and…read morewe got to sit outside! Our waitress was very friendly and offered our dogs watered and after getting our food, came and checked up on us even though it started getting pretty busy and packed. We did family style and got a few things to try! 1. Salt and pepper calamari 2. Platha and coconut chicken curry dip 3. Garlic noodles with tofu 4. Combination fried rice 5. Burmese chicken curry potatoes 6. Burmese style pad thai with shrimp 7. Garlic and chili shrimp 8. Lemongrass salmon Everything was delicious! I would say the platha and coconut chicken curry dip, Burmese chicken curry potatoes, and the Burmese style pad Thai with shrimp were my favorite out of the bunch. I would come back again if I'm in Davis!

If you're in Folsom and haven't tried Burma Lite yet, you're seriously missing out…read more This place has become my go-to, and for good reason. The food is consistently amazing and packed with flavor. The tea leaf salad is a must. Super fresh, crunchy, and unlike anything else around here. The basil chili lamb brings the perfect balance of heat and flavor, and the eggplant is cooked perfectly every time. The sesame chicken is crispy and flavorful. It and the coconut rice balanced the spiciness of the lamb and eggplant perfectly. My wife likes to wash it down with a blue moon. I believe the traditional Burmese beer is similar. Everything I've had here has been solid, and you can tell they actually care about the quality of their food. If you're looking for something different from the usual spots in Folsom, definitely give Burma Lite a try. You won't regret it.

I tried the following: Tea Leaf Salad, Minted Jalapenos Chicken, Burmese Garlic Noodle (with…read moreChicken), and Burmese Indian Rice. The tea salad wasn't as flavorful as one I had elsewhere. I expected more mint flavor from a dish with mint in the name. All in all, no dish was bad, but was not really impressed by anything either. Service was good. Pretty good portions. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way for personally. However, with so many five stars reviews, definitely think you should give Burma Light a try if you're thinking about it!

We had the dogs with us, so we needed a place with outdoor seating…read more The review is mainly for the extra effort that the staff made to accommodate all of us. They moved around the tables to make sure we were in the shade. The waiter even brought out a container of water for my dogs. He later brought out a extra container of water. I'm not sure if they go through this much effort for everyone, but I really appreciate the effort. The food was good also. I got the poutine off the specials. It was great

The 4 mile walk at the Benicia State Recreation area found us hungry, and thirsty. We haven't had…read moreBurmese food in a while thinking we could give this place a try. The back patio seating was nice on this warm afternoon. Although I could do with out the loud techno hip hop music. I like music, and I don't mind, but not that loud. We ordered a Fiery Beef dish, a Papaya Salad, and a Pumpkin Chicken. The waitress came back and told us they were out of Pumpkin. Ok. So we went with the Mango Chicken. We wanted a little rice and were told options. She told us one option that is orange, but couldn't describe what makes it orange. Oook? Our immediate reaction to the Papaya Salad was a bit salty, but decent. Mind you we are starving. The fruit, and toast at breakfast long gone. The Fiery Beef arrived. Looked great! Again we had the same sensation of saltiness. I understand the use of fish sauce or whatever, but this was more than we care for. The Papaya Chicken was more sweet, and slightly spicy. Not the best Burmese Food, and when in this area again we wouldn't go back again as we really didn't think it was anything that good. Not sure where all the good ratings come from, but we have a good restaurant for Burmese food. It's not here!

Don't Sleep on Burmese food!…read more It's like eating Chinese, Thai, and Indian food but all at once. So much flavors in all the dishes. From sweet and tangy to spicy and garlicky. Food here definitely hits the spot. You could even go here and just be satisfied with all the appetizers! The Dubai chocolate roti is also an s tier dessert in my opinion.

OK, let's jump into this food was quite delicious in portions. I went there for lunch and would say…read morethis is a nice place for local couples and retirees who are seeking a nice, refreshing lunch or something exotic. My negatives are a problems found with most restaurants, staff on their cell phones, not focusing on customers, hearing staff conversations, and staff not knowing the menu. My other negatives would be that if you ask for any add-ons, your meal may become a bit pricey, and adding any protein to your meal may not be cost-effective. Still is a good spot to dine or take a date I'll close with the positives of this place, which is that it offers plenty of surrounding parking, a nice park across the street, and access to other dessert places to close out a meal.

Always a great meal at the Rice Barn!…read more The staff is super friendly and quick to serve you. The ambiance is casual, but it could certainly be a date spot because the food is that good - plus wine and beer and sake cocktails! The drunk noodles, yellow curry and kao soi are awesome mains. The spring rolls are a must have starter. Been here several times and I will keep coming back!

Our Server, Lilliana, who was in training and did a good job. The restaurant has many options for Shared plates for small or large groups. We ordered Crispy Spring Rolls (with dipping sauce), Cashew Chicken (also crispy), Chicken with Fried Rice (with dipping sauce), and Drunken Lady Noodles with sautéed Chicken and Veggies. The food was delicious, perfectly seasoned and piping hot. This was my first time having drunken noodles and it won't be the last. The portions were generous, we could not finish it all! It's great to have leftovers! May and I connected through mutual friends on Yelp in So Cal and kept in touch through the years. Thanks, May, for the recommendation. Sincerely, Rosemary

The place was on a corner street. Parking seems limited and full so we parked on a residential…read morestreet. We got inside and it was pretty packed. We were immediately seated. We decided to get the pad thai, pork belly pad kraw prow, pork ribs appetizer, and gai satay. They first brought out the gai satay and it was delicious. The peanut sauce that went with the dish was super yummy. Then the pork ribs came out. There were only 4 ribs and a small side of salad . I personally thought it was pretty expensive for just four pork ribs, but the ribs were extremely flavorful. I would say probably the best thing we had even though every thing was delicious. After that they served us the pad thai and pad kraw prow. Both dishes were extended wly delicious. I would definitely come back to this place.

Everything is okay but the tom yum not hot enough for me. I don't know if Thai food is like that or just my family but everything is so sweet and we can't handle it. The pineapple fried rice is okay, not sweet like the other food but nothing special. Overall everything is okay just not our family type of food

First time here, the service was attentive and friendly but I think our server was overwhelmed with…read moretables because she was messing up our orders :( Food was overall 3/5, but our order of pineapple fried rice and pad see-ew were our only 5/5 dishes. Our green curry, tomyum soup, and Thai iced tea were super watered down. The green curry tasted better but did not have a curry consistency at all -- it was very diluted. Overall ambiance was put together in the first room, but their expanded green carpeted room with backdrops could use some updating. I know that they are on the right track to expanding!

For $10.00, I got myself a perfectly balanced and nutritious meal at unique Jasmine…read more And it's delicious. The meat is a little bit tough, but tasty. The veggies fresh. It's needed soy sauce I needed to ask for. It's also a bit oily. I don't eat that part. When she served me she put The Broccoli Beef on the side, so I scoop the meat and veggies on to the rice. For ten bucks, it's a great choice for me.

5 stars for friendly staff. 1 star for quality of food. Yes, this place is in a mall food court,…read morebut it's probably the nastiest food court meal I've ever had. I only had 10 minutes to eat, but I wanted something quick and wholesome. The fried rice was good. I paired it with the daily special, which today was chicken and green beans. The chicken is really salty, and it actually tastes like the meat may not be good anymore OR there's a funky sauce they're using. The green beans are okay, while some are sad and soggy. With this low quality of food, I doubt they'll last very long. I regret not ordering chicken teriyaki at Shogun. I hope they read some reviews and change up some of their ingredients and/or cooking methods. It's nice to have a variety of food at the mall.

The friendly and sweet owner Suleka comes to the table and greets her guest; which is an absolute pleasure and plus! The ambiance gives greenery meets earth tones and earthly vibe. The sounds of the chef chopping colorful vegetables, steaming pots and pans, sizzling aroma keeps me coming back after ten years! Always five star! Thank you Thai Basil

Came here in May 2026 with a small group. Had the pad thai with chicken, the pad see-ew with…read morechicken, and yellow curry. The pad thai was rather medicore without any strong flavors. The small tofu cubes in the dish were hard and flavorless. Ntot a dish-ruining offense, but I must say that I didn't know tofu got that hard. Same thing for the pad see-ew. It was quite dry and had a distinctly burnt flavor the first time it came out, it tasted like ash in my mouth. The chicken was rather burnt. The staff was friendly and kindly replaced it for me, but the burnt flavor remained. I think the pan they're using must have been burnt. I didn't think the yellow curry was notable. The thai tea is good. The restaurant itself is friendly and cozy. Water is from the tap.
