Burmese spot known for its unique tea leaf salad
"Burma Love is the sister restaurant to much adored Burma Superstar. They are famous the city over for their Tea Leaf Salad which incorporates fermented tea leaves along with lettuce, tomato and a multitude of yummy crunchy bits. It may sound odd, but try it once and you'll be a convert. The rest of the menu is equally as unique and delicious from curries to soups and great lunch specials." - Avocados and Coconuts
"This spot is related to Burma Superstar, and along with great cocktails, they also have the same great Burmese food as their other locations, including the tea leaf salad, spicy tomato chutney, and rich curries with beef. With its tall ceilings, huge bar, and second level that looks like a VIP lounge, this place feels like a nightclub—so it’s definitely an above-average casual dinner spot." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Burma Love is one of Burma Superstar’s aforementioned spinoffs (there’s also a swankier location near Union Square and a similar concept at Thrive City called Kayah). It feels like the trendy, younger sibling that ended up more popular in high school, so we come to this Mission spot for occasions that call for extra-nice sweaters and cocktails with dinner. This place has a full bar, a bustling dining room with gorgeous tiled walls, big tables for groups, and a menu of wok-tossed dishes that are as good—if not better—than the original. Everything is served in portions big enough to feed the Warriors starting lineup." - julia chen 1
"Burma Love is practically across the street from Hawker Fare. We prefer this place to its more famous sibling, Burma Superstar, and not just because of its shinier interior and ease of entry – the food is better too, especially the chicken with mint and the fried catfish." - taylor abrams, max child, will kamensky
"Prix-fixe lunch (entree and a drink) or dinner (starter, entree, and dessert) $25 for lunch, $60 for dinner All lunch entrees are served with a side of their solid tea leaf salad Any of the Burmese curries or the ginger chili pork" - julia chen 1
