"Downtown San Francisco’s Beyond Burma is another Burmese restaurant that’s gotten creative with its menu, as the name suggests, offering a range of Southeast Asian cuisine. This includes dishes like sweet soy sauce short ribs, Indian-style roti paratha, and ayam goreng kalasan (Javanese fried chicken), in addition to Burmese favorites like prawn curry and a rice noodle dish from Burma’s Shan state made with chicken and soy bean paste. “The owner started out by opening a pop-up,” Lin says, “and she came to ask me some questions about my own restaurant experience. It was back when I was still in the Tenderloin.” Beyond Burma has since gone brick-and-mortar, and is going strong." - Laura Kiniry 1
