Try rainbow and tea leaf salads or samusa soup , rice noodles with pickled daikon and tofu in a spicy tomato-garlic sauce & pork and kabocha squash stewed in a gingery broth with coconut sticky rice

The smells and flavors of this place are fantastic! The chicken casserole has also shrimps and is very tasty! Mango shrimp with coconut rice is a good choice as well ! Just one visit is not enough!

Out of this world mango shrimp ! They melt in your mouth! The tea leaf salad is so different and yummy! Great noodles here too! Sangria felt a little watered down but def did the trick!

tea leaf salad , coconut rice , sesame chicken (or tofu ) all together on the same plate at the same time is the best. The sweetness of the rice is cut by the salad . Curry beef is good too!

The Tea Leaf Salad is one of the most amazing foods I have ever had in my entire life. It was and is a huuuuuge blast! Yumm ???? come here and get it ????

"This is such a solid beginning to a meal. The soup has lots of spices and bold flavors that wake up your palate. It's great to share with a couple of people." Chef Adam Keough Read more

Fish noodle soup (Mohinga) and samusa soup - though I think I like the coconut chicken noodle soup better!

Rainbow salad , pumpkin pork stew , platha with curry , chicken coconut noodle soup , nan pia dok (dry chicken curry noodles )

This place this legit. Incredible and unique flavors. Tea leaf salad (pictured) as a starter and any of the curries .

Reserve ahead of time and plan for an hour of walking around or buying apps elsewhere. Things to get for 2 people w/leftovers: Samusa Soup , Tea Leaf Salad , Burmese Style Curry Lamb and Nan Pia Dok.

There's a reason why the Tea Salad is recommended in a majority of these tips because it is simply A M A Z I N G!! Seriously one of the best salads ever and I LOVE salads ! Absolutely mandatory!

Burmese curry with shrimp is my favorite and the rainbow salad over the tea leaf unless you haven't had it before. Also must recommend the oxtail clay pot over the chicken clay pot . Coconut rice too!

Motherclucker, this place is good. Wait was short enough, and everything was amazing. Some of the best stuff I've had in my life, right off the appetizer list . Get a coconut !

Incredible food and great price! Go for the lamb samosas , samosa soup ,Burma Super Star shrimp curry , coconut rice and end it with the coconut fritters .

10/10 would do again. Make sure to try the tea leaf salad . The shrimp curry and chicken casserole are also amazing! Well balanced flavours and great service.

My server recommended the nan pia dok dish. It was exactly what I wanted: combined flavours I hadn't tasted before, and a little kick. Well worth the visit.

Always swarming with people, waited over an hour but seriously so worth it. My favorite: pumpkin pork stew . Both the pumpkin and pork is so soft and melts and in your mouth... Yum

Leave your name and cell at the counter and walk up the street to have a drink at one of the many bars on Clement. The time flies by and you won't be one of those chumps shivering on the street.

After you put your name down browse through one of SF's best bookstores just a couple blocks away: Green Apple Books !

Come with a group so you can order multiple dishes to share! Tea leaf salad , samosa soup , and chili lamb were especially unique. Such interesting flavors!

Tea leaf salad as mentioned is great. The catfish soup is wonderful and surprisingly light. Chili lamb was great but it's better paired with another entree. Very spicy .

Get the rainbow salad , coconut rice , sesame chicken , and the warm dip (I don’t remember what it was exactly.) Everything smelled and tasted soo delicious.

Mint chicken , tea leaf salad , chili and garlic shrimp , coconut rice , rainbow salad , fiery beef -- all A+

White sangria supreme, sweet and tangy , packed with all sort of fruits including LYCHEE. Entrees are great as well , good to come with a friend or two :)

I know all the tips highly recommend the Tea leaf salad & Samusa soup . But I preferred the Burmese style lamb curry , coconut rice and a glass (or 3) of the lychee sangria the most.

Samusa soup & fiery vegetables with tofu are amazing - definitely double up on the coconut rice (incredible). Service was fantastic & table was def worth the wait!

Tea salad , the braised pork curry , and coconut rice . The Lamb samusas are really good. Then mix everything up, and pour some of the Samusas sauce over the meal.

Absolutely love this place. The food is fantastic, the staff is more than happy to help always. It's a MUST GO place in San Francisco for me. Loved the Tofu Tower

So thrilled with everything I tasted. Split the tea leaf salad , samusa soup , and basil chicken with my boyfriend. Perfect lunch .

Delicious food, friendly staff , and lightning-fast service! Very kid-friendly. Great place to eat and relax.

We tried the Chicken samusas, chicken kebat with coconut rice and the Superstar vegetarian noodle . Everything was delicious. Worth every penny!!

Awesome food samosa soup is the best I have had. Tea leaf salad and fiery cauliflower is delicious. Must try but it’s become so expensive .

As a white man I am often profiled and not served spicy food even when I request it. I can confirm that the chili lamb is indeed spicy . They don't hold back. Great place ????

The Tea Leaf Salad is mixed right in front of you and tastes incredible. Their coconut rice , is the most delcious rice I've ever eaten. And their mint chicken was spicy and flavorful.

Chili Lamb (stir fried lamb with dried and fresh chili , onions , and basil ) with coconut rice

Maybe because I got it to go, but the tea leaf salad was just ok. The coconut rice was amazing (!!), the garlic noodles were tasty and the pumpkin stewed pork was *amazing.*. Totally coming back.

Why is there always a line out the door at this hole in the wall place? Because this is one of the best meals in San Francisco. Super fresh ingredients and food made with love!

Tea leaf salad , soup , chili lamb , chicken and shrimp casserole were all amazing!!

Yes tea leaf salad . the chicken with rice and shrimp is always delicious too. If it’s full go to b star, down the street, same food.

Amahhhzing!!!!! Coconut rice with sesame chicken is outstanding. Rainbow salad is flavor bursting. Chicken coconut soup is outstanding. Try them all. Waiting for desert now!!!

Must try their green tea leaf salad , ginger lemon ice tea , chili cury lamb with coconut rice ... delicious and so friendly !!!

Tofu tower was very good! Silken, a little bit spicy , coconut rice is always fantastic.

A friend and I had the Tea Leaf Salad , Dried Fried Green Beans , Burmese Mint Chicken , Spicy Crispy Chicken , and Coconut Rice . It was an amazing meal!
