The best Burmese near SFO. Killer tea leaf salad , avocado tempura shrimp spring rolls , pumpkin yellow curry , and Burmese style curry pork . Read all about these awesome deals on WinstonWanders.com.

Monica Jain

My favorite order: tapioca w coconut milk , tea leaf salad , rainbow salad , pumpkin yellow chicken and coconut rice . Order it all- it's all worth trying! paratha is also good

Charles Nitze

While the stir-fry dishes will satisfy any desire for Chinese cuisine , you must order the Burmese plates! The curried pork has a three day prep with pickled mango and the pumpkin chicken is heavenly.

Vincent Lacey

Curry pork is best pork . House noodle is unique, but a little tangy . Tea leaf salad not as fresh as Burma superstar , and ratio was a little off. Tapioca coconut milk is basically a dessert !

Chandra P

Tea leaf salad and the naked eggplant are incredible. Not only the best Burmese food in the Bay Area, but also the best restaurant period in Burlingame. Always busy, but always worth the wait.

Tarah Feinberg

Excellent tea leaf salad , Rangoon prawns , noodles with chicken . Kau soi is pretty good, but I'm spoiled by my wife's Indian/Burmese version. Great service too.

Nana

My all time favorite place! Here's what you get: tea leaf salad (non veg ), coconut rice or fried rice , spicy string beans with shrimp . Enjoy

Ashley Kennedy-Foster

All the suggests are right on - BUT if you want that one dish that really tastes like a lot of time and effort went into it - Burmese curried pork . Slow simmered spicy curry , fall apart pork . This!

Akshay Jawharkar

Best Burmese food in the peninsula. House special noodles are the best

Gnat Brain

Arguably as good as or better than Superstar. Try the shrimp avocado tempura roll as an app.

Charles B

this place is the shit. best resto within 10 miles of the airport . tea leaf salad , rainbow salad , curry beef all perfect.

Jung-Ah Yum

Jasmine flower tea . Pretty but the petals got in the way... Recommend the house noodles , asparagus tofu and rainbow salad !

Dave Birch

Possibly beats Burma superstar . Mango lasi was incredible. Tea leaf salad was great, basil chicken as well . Mango salad was incredible

Mystery Mania

Very good Burmese food here, delicious! A little on the pricer side though. Street parking only as well .

Amy Matsuno

Don't leave without getting the paratha . The curry sauce that comes with it is glorious...you won't be able to stop dipping the crisp fried dough in it!

Frances

Coconut chicken noodle , pumpkin curry in squash bowl and burmese rice

Nivita Verma

Super busy Sat lunch hour yet they graciously let me wait at a table when my gf was running 15min late. Thank you so much Mingalaba!

Delyn Simons

Happy noodles , tea leaf salad , green papaya salad

Frank Cecena

Unbelievable flavor, great service, write your names on the board and wait. It's worth it.

Chris H.

Pumpkin curry chicken is great, and the presentation is really fun!

Jon Kotker

The tea-leaf salad was delicious -- would highly recommend. It's also filling.

Kyle Else realtor®

Best time to get a table with no wait is late evening. The food is amazing including Tea Leaf Salad .

Megan Allison

Tea leaf salad , house special noodle & sticky rice with mango ????

Karla

The line is long but it's worth it. Put your name down and then walk around downtown.

Kathy Huang

Everything is delicious but my favorites are the Spicy Basil Chicken , Panfried Okra Prawns and the Mango Slushie !

W Z

Best tea leaf salad and rainbow salad I ever had. Better than Burma Superstar .

Anuja Chockalingam

i used to like this place a lot. The quality of food had decreased and the waiter kept getting us incorrect orders.Last yr i would have rated this a 4/5 but now may be a 2.5

Jeremy K

You have the option to order cocoanut rice with your entree. Do it. You'll be glad you did. :-)

Merve A

Yes there is a waiting involved but after getting your table, food is great.

Angela

Pumpkin , Singapore noodles , Burmese shrimp...everything was great! Make reservations !! Long list for walk-ins.

Suyash Sonwalkar

Simply amazing, I want to go back and try all of the dishes.

Neha Sebastian

Vanessa Fox

The paratha is awesome. They don't take reservations but you can call ahead to get on a list

Priyesha Sachdev

Good Dishes: Palatha, Spring Beans with Tofu , Kung Pao Chicken , Chow Mein , and much more mmm so good!

Aris Gonzales

Get the Mango Chicken , Burmese Style Chicken Curry , Rainbow Salad , Mango Lassi , Burmese Iced Tea

Gnat Brain

The ginger lemonade has a good bite with enough sweetness to keep the puckerface time to a minimum.

Victor

Get the avocado shrimp spring roll for appetizer . So good!!

Stella Trinidad

Mango chicken with coconut rice - sooo good! If they have the ginger lemonade , try it! Really yummy!

Jen Park Chan

Get their tea leaf salad and the house noodles .

Lauren Mindel

Great service and yummy food! Loved the rice noodle dish with coconut chicken .

Ram Krishnan

The parathas and the samosa soup are just amazing...... Overall a worthwhile restaurant

Brian Tran

The tea leaf salad and house noodle are amazing!

Jeena James

The tapioca coconut milk is so tasty!

Isha Gujarati

Good food. The fried rice is the best! The house noodles are not worth it.

Angelica W

Great food but incredibly pricey . $13 for two summer rolls . ????

Jones

Chicken curry , and Burmese style noodles good

Vandana Abraham

Green papaya salad is great, and the portions are very large for one person.

Trina Johnson

I got the curry prawns and the vegetarian spring rolls . Although it was tasty, it was too expensive in my opinion. Not going to go back because of the price.

Genesis F.

What was lacking in flavour was made up for in service. If you have a palate for lightly seasoned and mild to bland spices you'll enjoy Mingalaba. Additionally, the prices won't break the bank .
