Burma Superstar

The 7 Best Burmese Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"When it opened in 1992, Burma Superstar got everyone with a pulse hooked on their tea leaf salad. Today, it’s even sold in local grocery stores, and Burma Superstar itself is a mini-empire, with a handful of spinoffs throughout the Bay. The original in the Richmond is still a go-to for no-fuss weeknight dinners, provided you’re willing to wait. That infamous line for a table is thanks to the consistently excellent Burmese staples coming out of this place. Yes, the tea leaf salad continues to be straight-up iconic, but so is everything else on the menu, like rich house curry, lightly battered sesame chicken, and buttery platha." - julia chen 1
