Burma Spice

Can't go wrong with the Nan Gyi Thoke here! Creamy and tasty. Though most of the chicken has the flavor, the noodles are dense and a good texture. I also recommend the Sesame Chicken! Imagine orange chicken but 10x better with the texture. Definitely order some veggies too though. That's a whole lot of just chicken.... Customer service is good and the ambiance is nice. Identical menu to Burma Taste in Sunnyvale, but more home-like vibes.

I had never been to a Burmese restaurant before and I let my server know that. So, he offered to assist me with ordering. And he did an awesome job! I ended up ordering Palada with chicken as an appetizer with a Tea Leave Salad (he suggested I get it with cabbage since that is the authentic way it is prepared in Burma). He asked if I like spicy or sweet and when I told him "definitely spicy", he recommended the Chili Lamb with a side of Jasmine Rice. Everything he suggested was perfect and incredibly fresh. I almost forgot, I also ordered a Lychee Martini (I made that decision on my own 😏) It was a light and refreshing drink and definitely not too sweet. I will definitely be back since I visit Redwood City on a regular basis.

Our family had a wonderful meal at Burma Spice! It was probably the best Burmese food we’ve had in the Bay Area. The atmosphere was nice, the service was attentive, and the food was delicious. Since we went on Valentine’s Day, they surprised the wine with the gift of long-stemmed roses. A nice touch. We ordered sweet and sour double lobsters, Burma house noodles, basil lemongrass chicken, sesame beef, and of course, tea leaf salad. All of them were scrumptious. We will definitely be back with more friends and family!

Delicious food in a comfortable setting. Excellent service. I had the coconut chicken curry, so tasty, the chicken was so tender you didn’t need a knife to cut it. Don’t miss this gem!

We stumbled upon Burma Spice while perusing through for a little something different, something we don't normally eat or come across. Turned out to be a great idea! I think Burma Spice is fairly new, so they are still sorting things out. Good size venue with ample amount of parking and seating. We were greeted and seated immediately upon entry even though we didn't have a reservation. It took a while longer for the staff to come get our order though...we actually had to flag someone down. Same thing when it came to getting the bill as well. Everything else was very good. #BurmeseEats: ~ Tea Leaf Salad - 3.5/5 While this was good, we had much better Tea leaf Salads. We felt it was lacking something for some reason. The staff mix it for you table side, so let them know if you want to take a pic beforehand. ~ Nan Gyi Thoke - 4/5 The noodles threw us off. They were like Spaghetti...neither of us was expecting that. We were expecting something more along the likes of Asian Vermicelli or Glass Noodles. The Coconut Chicken Curry Sauce was tasty and the fresh and fried red onions along with the Wonton Chips & Lime Leaves complimented the dish with a nice crunchy texture. ~ Kebat Lamb - 4/5 Stir-fried tender pieces of Lamb cooked in spices with Mint, Chili, Cilantro, Onion and Tomatoes. Tasty with generous portions of Lamb. Bravo! ~ Coconut Rice - 4.5/5 Delicious and well balanced Coconut flavored rice. I could eat this by itself all day long. Can't wait to check out the other dishes.

The restaurant is spacious. Unlike many of the burmese restaurants that i have been to in the bay area. The food was overall good. The chicken basil was over salty. Which they attempted to correct after we let them know. Wasn't a lot different though. The chow mein tasted great. Whereas all of us were happy with the tea leaf salad and the mango salad. The servers were cordial and helpful.

We found Burma Spice recommended on a gluten free app and am glad we decided to give it a try. So many gluten free choices, and vegan/vegetarian options too. I ordered the lettuce wraps (veggie) and since it was listed as a starter, I ordered the basil lemongrass veggies too. The lettuce wraps were excellent and would have been plenty on their own for a meal. I ended up taking most of the basil veg home with me and ate it for breakfast the next few days. My partner got the sesame chicken and it was a huge portion and very good. Overall, good portion sizes for the cost, and delicious food with fresh ingredients.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We had the Honey Walnut Shrimp to die for, Burmese Chicken Curry, Biryani Rice, Jasmine Rice, and Ginger Salad. Dishes are made for sharing, We were 'starving', and we still had plenty left over. Everything was cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chefs! The restaurant has a calm, spiritualish, warm natural vibe with a welcoming staff. Very nice! Sorry, I thought I took more pictures of our food, but I guess I was too busy eating. Grrrr

This was our first time trying this type of cuisine and we're wondering why haven't we had this sooner!? Each dish we had were great portions and super flavorful. And service was soo nice! Inside is so homey and open. Can't wait to come back and try more! What We Ordered: Palata with Chicken Curry Dip Salt & Pepper Calamari Tea Leaf Salad Nan Gyi Thoke Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp Strawberry Italian Soda Burmese Milk Tea

Hyped up restaurant. We made reservations and showed up a minute before reservation time. There were plenty of seats but no one seated is for a while -- they didn't want to give us a 4 seat booth and made us wait to see if a two seat table would open up. After 15 minutes of waiting they gave us the four seat booth. The food was mediocre at best. And overpriced. We will not be going there again.

I live in the South Bay and we have several solid Burmese places. We decided to come to Redwood City for a movie, but had a craving for Asian cuisine and a salad. What better place than a Burmese restaurant with tea-leaf salad?! We walked in and were greeted by several employees. We asked for a table outside and our incredible server, Eric, was happy to accommodate. Being adventurous eaters, we asked for his favorite recommendations. He highly suggested a Ginger Salad, Burmese Shrimp, and Basil Lemongrass Beef. At first, we were hesitant about the Ginger Salad because a tea-leaf salad at any restaurant is a "can't miss." Let me tell you....all the dishes were fantastic, but the Ginger Salad was the best thing I've had here. Enough about the food. Only thing better at Burma Spice food is the SERVICE. Whether it's Eric, a server, or the chefs, everyone here genuinely cares about their craft and making you feel like your family. I will drive 50-minutes at 5pm in Bay Area traffic to satisfy my craving. Chef's kiss.

Gotta upgrade Burma Spice from 4**** to 4.5 ***** rounded up to 5 ***** for me. Second time here, thought we'd try some different dishes. #Burmese: Salads: ~ Burmese Noodle - 4/5 This was most definitely a Noodle Salad, not as many greens in it as I thought there would be. With 22 ingredients the flavor was profile was complex and the Noodles were perfect. Noodles: ~ Burma House Noodle - 4/5 Another tasty noodle dish with a bit of a kick. ~ Burmese Curry Beef - 3.5/5 This was more like a Beef Stew than a Curry to me. Still very good, just not what I expected. Gotta love the generous amounts of Beef in here. Rice & Sides: ~ Coconut Rice - 4.5/5 Possibly the best Coconut Rice I had outside of Southeast Asia. ~ Jasmine Rice - 4/5 Your regular Jasmine Rice The food is still delish and the portions are on the generous side. Our leftover looked like another meal. They weren't busy on a Saturday evening. I hope they stick around. I really enjoy the food here...

Delicious food, nicely decorated interior, easily confused waitstaff*. *We asked our server for a glass of warm water. After he told us he only had hot water and tap water, we asked him to mix the two. We asked him to put half hot water and half tap water into the same glass so as it make warm, sippable water (to soothe a sore throat.) We received a mug full of hot water and a tall glass full of tap water. No third vessel to mix the two. The server was confused, bless him.

Can't go wrong with the Nan Gyi Thoke here! Creamy and tasty. Though most of the chicken has the flavor, the noodles are dense and a good texture. I also recommend the Sesame Chicken! Imagine orange chicken but 10x better with the texture. Definitely order some veggies too though. That's a whole lot of just chicken.... Customer service is good and the ambiance is nice.

5* for food, service and ambiance. We dined outdoor in the patio on a Saturday afternoon, parked in the lot behind the restaurant. The Tea Leaf Salad was the best I have had, the waiter recommended the Chili Beef, the perfect amount of spice, the Sesame Chicken was lightly breaded, all generous portions. Burma Spice is my go to for Burmese food in the Bay Area.

Food is very good here! The taste and the quality. We came here on Sunday for dinner around 7pm, no wait, restaurant was pretty busy. The menu is well-rounded; salads, noodles, vegetarian options, seafood, meat dishes, dessert. The service is friendly and fast but not hurried at all. Ambiance is casual and comfortable; looks like lots of local folks come here. There is some outdoor seating but mostly indoor. All three dishes we ordered were very good! The tea leaf salad was fresh (it does contain jalapeños which I wasn't expecting and I'm not good with spicy foods so next time I might ask for it on the side as husband likes spicy), Burma noodles are similar to Pad Thai with a sweeter less fish sauce flavor profile and the curry chicken was very soft and flavorful. This place will surely be a regular for us! Places like this make me love living on the peninsula!

Hadn't had Burmese food for a while, so we were excited to check Burma Spice out. Arrived at around noon on Wednesday. We were greeted upon entering and seated quickly. Started with the Tea Leaf salad which they mixed at our table. Then the samosas which were served piping hot and crispy. The salt and pepper chicken were also hot and crispy. We also ordered the Ohn Noe Kout Swel and a bowl of coconut rice. Everything had good flavor and service was good in that they ensured our water glasses were full and checked on us often. Good food. Will definitely return to try other items.

My favorite salad, fermented green tea. Just delicious. I was so excited to know I could order it here. And they were so fast and I was able to get it to go.

Every time I come here, it is better and better! Delicious food. Fast service. Great vibe. Easy parking. I just wish more people would discover it so that they'd get more business. Such a great place!

Food, service both were really good. Outside seating worked very well for us. They have a good variety of vegetarian and vegan options

It was just ok. And honestly I might not return as I love Burmese food know and know of other better options in the Bay Area. I am a vegetarian and in a Burmese restaurant my fav thing to order is a Tea Leaf Salad - here the salad tasted very fishy...I even confirmed with the staff that the salad was 100% vegetarian but it just didn't taste right. The other food I ordered was also just ok. Service was slow as w

We went here for a team dinner - Classic burmese place! Lots of seating All the food we ordered was quite good! Ranked below Must try: shan yellow tofu - very soft and delicious lychee martini - very lychee! tea leaf salad - my fave, coworkers loved this coconut rice - very fragrant calamari - honestly kinda a classic dish but it was well prepared Good Fiery tofu - not sure if I would get this again bc I asked for it extra spicy and it was sweet and spicy Palatha and dip - Palatha was really good.. veggie dip was ok I think the chicken one was prob better burmese milk tea - def too sweet but the tea flavor was good spring rolls and shrimp rolls - classic and good but not a must try I did try another mango burma drink (forgetting the name) it was surprisingly savory and not sweet.. like less sweet alcoholic mango lassi.. I would skip personally. One thing that I have to note was servers didn't come back to visit our table and didn't rmbr who ordered what so dishes were getting mixed up on either side, they were nice nonetheless but I wish they checked up on us more we kept having to flag them down. Ambiance was nice/neutral, not super upscale but nice. Place was only half full on weeknight dinner maybe bc it's new - but i would come here again!

Burma Spice opened last year and is relatively new to the area. It has an extensive menu with lots of protein and veggie options. PARKING Private lot SERVICE The host is always welcoming upon entrance. I've been here twice for lunch and was seated quickly. FOOD Everything I've had so far has been delicious. * Nan Gyi Thoke * Tea Leaf Salad * Chili Beer * Okra & Egg Curry * Coconut Rice * Burmese Crispy Chicken My favorites will always be the Tea Leaf Salad and Nan Gyi Thoke. The Burmess Crispy Chicken isn't anything home to write about other than it is a tad too sweet for my taste. The portions here are plentiful, and sharing 2-3 dishes amongst a party of 3-4 is excellent. Burma Spice is an excellent addition to the Redwood City area. I will return when I'm in the vicinity.

This restaurant shares the parking with another businesses. We went there for lunch and there was plenty of parking. We were greeted and seated by a friendly waiter. We ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, Pork Pumpkin Stew, Nan Gyi Thoke, and a side of Biryani rice. Our food came out in a timely manner. The waiter mixed the Tea Leaf Salad and Nan Gyi Thoke for us. The fried yellow beans and fried garlic chips added an extra crunch to the Tea Leaf Salad. The pork chunks in the Pork Pumpkin Stew were tender. The pumpkin chucks weren't overcooked. The coconut chicken curry sauce for the Nan Gyi Thoke was pretty flavorful. During our meal, the waiter checked up on us. We enjoyed all the food that we ordered and the prices are fairly reasonable. We'll be back to try their other entrees.

Burma Spice has been on rotation lately because everything is flavorful and cooked well. I've had the Tea Leaf Salad, Eggplant Shrimp with Garlic Sauce, Fiery Tofu with Beef, Garlic Noodles, and Fiery Chicken. The atmosphere is comfortable for a casual drop in or a nicer dinner and conversation doesn't compete with a noise level. There are TVs, so maybe that changes if there's a big game on but hasn't been the case the e multiple times I've been. My only nit is that the service is a tad slow. Friendly, but not on an expected cadence. It's getting better, so maybe as a newer restaurant they're fine-tuning the training or they're finding their rhythm. I'm sure I'll be back (again) in the next few weeks.

Burma spice is a nice cozy feel type of restaurant. We ordered the kebat beef (good taste), tea leaf salad (regular ingredients), crispy pork belly (red color, not as crispy as i thought), palata dip (the chicken is the dip and breading is like a pan fried pancake). I'm not a frequent goer of Burmese food, so I cant compare it to others but there are a lot of good Burmese restaurants in the area! Our server Eric was very nice and helpful.

Nan gyi thoke - really liked this dish but I was thrown off by the use of spaghetti noodles. I guess I'm just not used to Asian dishes using spaghetti noodles. I'd get it again. Tea leaf salad - I love tea leaf salad and while this was good, I have had better. I would probably try a different vegetable dish next time but wouldn't mind getting it again. Kebat lamb - I liked this dish as well. Flavors were great, however, if you don't like the gaminess of lamb, you probably shouldn't order this. I didn't mind the lamb but I'd like to try it with beef next time. Coconut rice - this was made well. Not too dry, not too sticky, not sweet and very coconutty. If I wasn't watching my sugar levels, I would've eaten the whole bowl myself. The nan gyi thoke and tea leaf salad was served unmixed and the server mixed it in front of us. It happened really quick and didn't get a chance to snap a photo or video but it was a pretty presentation.

Great Burmese food with super friendly staff that's located in a plaza with plenty of parking which makes it also really accessible. The restaurant is also really big with plenty of tables. I was also able to make a reservation through Yelp although it seems like it might not be necessarily on weekday night (went on a Tues night around 7pm). We ended up ordering tea leaf salad, samosas, and nan gyi thoke (chicken curry noodle) along with some drinks. I got the Burma Dream which was a mango/coconut cocktail that was sweet and very delicious. All three dishes were also super solid, and we enjoyed all the dishes. Overall a great place for a causal dinner and would be back!

First time trying Burmese food and we can't wait to come back! We ordered the Nan Gyi Thoke, chili beef, coconut rice and a Burmese milk tea. They also have a really comfortable & covered dog friendly patio with heaters which is always a huge plus to us! Nan Gyi Thoke - This is a rice noodle dish w/ a coconut curry chicken sauce and lots of different toppings. This dish was so flavorful & the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. It was creamy and we loved the different textures from the wonton chips, onions, and egg. This is a must order! Chili beef: huge portion! The beef was really tender and it had a great balance of sweet & spicy. I would say it's a 3/10 on the spice level. Coconut rice: must order if you're getting any entrees!! the rice was extremely fragrant & paired so so well with the chili beef. Burmese Milk Tea: first time trying Burmese style milk tea! I would say this drink is closer to a Chai than a Taiwanese or HK style milk tea. It was creamy & had a hint of different spices in it. We were the only ones sitting outside and the service was really great! They were on top of making sure we had everything we needed. I'd definitely come back!

We came around 8 pm on a sunday night and it was fairly empty with a pretty big parking lot. Interior is pretty large with a good amount of seating. Service was great, we got seated and they came to us pretty quickly. Food came out super fast too. Tea Leaf Salad: 5/5 i feel like this is a stable at most burmese places and they did not disappoint with this. great mix of textures and flavors, the fermented tea leaf flavor really comes through. Burmese Curry: 4/5 I thought the flavors were pretty good, but i wish they were a bit stronger and the curry was thicker, it was very watery at the bottom. Rice is also ordered separately. Coconut curry noodles: 3.5/5 I thought the curry sauce was good but i did not like the noodle texture at all - it was mushy and felt like it was overcooked. The wonton crisps also ended up being very soft after being mixed in (almost immediately)

The restaurant is roomy. Unlike many of the Burmese restaurants that I have been to in the Bay Area. The food was mostly good. The chicken basil was excessively salty. Which they attempted to correct after we let them know. Wasn't too different though. The chow mein tasted amazing. Whereas all of us were happy with the tea leaf salad and the papaya salad. The servers were polite and helpful.

I can see why this place gets so many great reviews. Great food and the staff are very nice. Burmese String Bean: 5/5. This has a little kick, but is delicious. Tea Leaf Salad: 5/5. Also had a little more kick than expected (when compared to a similar dish at another restaurant)--but with jalapeño peppers I should not have been surprised. Also really delicious. Samoas Salad: 4.5./5. Another really good dish, with a little more substance than the Tea Leaf Salad.

Dropped by to pickup food. Loved the pepper beef and lamb. Also ordered the chicken fried rice, garlic noodles and tea leaf salad. The service staff were quick and pleasant. There is parking available right outside the restaurant.

Dined in with my family and overall quite enjoyed it! I previously lived right in between Mandalay and Burma Superstar in San Francisco, and Burma Spice felt competitive with all these famous Burmese spots, without the wait. We shared the following appetizers: - TEA LEAF SALAD ($17.99): A must-get at any Burmese restaurant, and Burma Spice's was probably as good as I've had - SAMOSAS ($12.99): Standard, with a spiced filling of curried potatoes, peas, and carrots - PALATA WITH CHICKEN CURRY DIP ($13.99): I actually don't love the taste of coconut, but the curry here was fairly mild while still being quite flavorful. Also hard to go wrong with paratha Followed by these entrées: - FISH CHOWDER NOODLE SOUP ($16.99): Apparently this is the national dish of Myanmar (Mohinga), and ended up being one of my favorite dishes despite my initial doubts. Good flavor and great textures, and enjoyed being able to assemble my bowl with all the toppings - NAN GYI THOKE ($16.99): I liked the combination of flavors and textures from the coconut chicken curry sauce, egg, fried onions, and wonton chips, though I can see how others might find this a bit bland. The curry sauce is the same as comes with the palata - BLACK PEPPER BEEF ($19.99): This was too spicy for me and I didn't love all the bell pepper - KEBAT CHICKEN ($17.99): This was also fairly spiced and not particularly memorable, but solid if you're looking for a protein dish You have to order rice on the side -- we got a bowl of coconut rice ($3.50), which was good. Prices and portions felt fair, service was friendly, seating was ample and comfortable, and the menu had something for everyone.

Delicious food and super nice staff. Service is a little slow, but it's nice to have a leisurely lunch with amazing food. Recommend the yellow tofu.

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and came on a Monday night. No need for reservation, plenty of seating. Was attended to right away and they have a good amount of options on the menu for vegetarians and different kinds of meat. Food came out quickly too! So service was great. Garlic noodles with shrimp- 9/10 It tasted amazing with just enough garlic and they give you a mild spicy sauce to add for more flavor. Also, it came with a good amount of shrimp. You can opt for chicken or keep it vegetarian. Palata with chicken curry 9/10- the roti was nice and fresh and their chicken curry was very flavorful. Fiery lamb with tofu - 10/10 This was amazing and came with enough to feed 2 people. Not really spicy either, I think it had the perfect balance of sweet/spicy. Get it with their coconut rice as that made it even better! Coconut rice- 10/10 must try! It is a side for $3 and it was my favorite thing I tried! I could just eat it by itself but also went so nicely with the lamb/beef! Overall, enjoyed all the food and service. I would definitely come back to try other dishes on their menu!

Burma Spice looks to be a recently opened restaurant that's added its own flair to the burmese food scene of the bay area. Overall the food is decent if you enjoy the burmese taste. I ordered and Nan Gyi Thoke out of curiosity since it was something ive never tried before. Overall the spices are unique and the flavour matches that of other burmese restaurants ive had, however the dish as a whole was a bit dry and bland. I'm not sure if the general burmese flavour isn't something that i like, or its just the restaurant's cooking style, but i didnt quite enjoy the food and felt like there were something missing (of course im not very experienced with burmese cuisine). I felt like the food was just okay. Finally , while the service was good and the waitress was attentive, we were forced a 20% tip for our party of 6 without warning, so my friend who got the bill accidentally tipped on top without realizing. Firstly, a forced 20% tip is already quite high, even if some restaurants do automatic tip for larger parties, but it should be a courtesy to let the customer know as well. While we were going to tip anyways, this one gesture just turned into an extra 40% tip? This whole practice is just very sketchy to me.

Excellent Burmese restaurant in the peninsula. It may even be my favorite in all of Bay Area that we drive out here from the city whenever our Burmese cravings strike. We had a favorite in SF but things started going downhill so I was glad to have stumbled across it randomly one day. We've been multiple times and they are fairly consistent. Our orders are always turned around super quick and dishes always tastes fresh. We just took our out of town in-laws and they enjoyed it.

Having worked at a famous Burmese restaurant in San Francisco I'd say I know what good Burmese food is and the food here was SUPERB. They had all of my favorite dishes like nan gyi, mohinga, and okra tofu. Their tea leaf salad had probably double the amount of tea leaf than other restaurants. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back again! Flavors and ingredients were on point and the portions were very generous. Overall, Burma spice had a great ambiance, lots of seating, and has an outdoor patio that's dog friendly.

We came here to celebrate a birthday and wow, it was amazing!!!! The service was absolutely phenomenal!! The level of care and service that they provided to us was farrrr beyond what we thought ! Definitely love the cozy atmosphere inside ! Eric took great care of us ! Will definitely come back again !

Came here for lunch and ordered the Tea Leaf Salad made of romaine lettuce, fried yellow beans, garlic chips, sesame & sunflower seeds, peanuts, tomatoes and jalapenos all tossed with fermented green tea leaf dressing. The second dish was the Lettuce Wrap made with shiitake mushrooms, radish, carrots & water chestnut, served with crispy lettuce and Hoisen Sauce. To round it out we also had the Basil Lemongrass Chicken (stir-fried chicken breast with soy sauce, fish sauce, snap peas, red bell pepper, lemongrass, basil, garlic, and chili). The service was super fast and very friendly. The interior is still the same decor as the previous restaurant but that is a good thing as it's nice and approachable.

Love this place! If you're about supporting local, Burma Spice should be on your list. Got their platha, tea leaf salad, and fish Burmese curry. All standard and safe dishes but still flavorful and delicious. There's also quite a bit of seating and the staff is super friendly. If I was to give one bit of feedback is that the service was a bit slow but it also seemed like they were understaffed. Overall, I'm definitely coming back. Oh, and there's a designated parking lot!

Pretty legit so far. Got a to go order and it was ready in 10 mins... crazy! Ordered -stir fry eggplant. Yes! So good. Flavorful and big pieces! -pepper beef. Yes! So good. AND plenty of beef. -coconut rice. Not the best but good enough! I want to try eating in person. Cant wait to come back :)

I am so thrilled to have this superb restaurant located so close by! Nearly the entire menu is gluten-free which means i can eat almost everything. I went with some friends and we enjoyed lettuce cups with chicken, chicken biryani, a tea leaf salad, and burmese noodles with tofu. Every dish was flavorful and fresh and so delicious! I imbibed on a Burmese milk tea as well and it was flavorful and not too sweet. I did request our order be kept mild and not too spicy and they easily customized it for me. The service was attentive and friendly, and inside was comfortable and not too loud. Our booth gave us some nice intimacy to chat and catch up and we were comfortable. I enjoyed my meal so much I got a takeout menu on our way out and have already returned for takeout since dining in and my experience was just as good. Highly recommend!

Had the vegetable curry. It was extremely tasty. I did takeout, the place was empty when I went by, perfectly nice ambiance, and the food was ready pretty much right away. My only complaint is that when I ordered on the phone, I'd didn't realize I needed to order rice separately, and the person on the phone didn't ask, they just said "anything else?". And they didn't give me any utensils when I picked up the food (or ask if I wanted any). Thankfully I had some emergency chopsticks with me, but that could've been better.

I read there was a new Burmese restaurant that newly opened in the previous location of Hikari. I ordered takeout for lunch online and was able to specify the time I wanted to pick it up. I was happy that my order was ready as promised! I sampled the rainbow salad. It's got 22 different ingredients, including lettuce, 4 types of noodles, papaya, mushrooms, garlic, and who knows what else?!?! The takeout box was filled to the brim and you can tell just by looking at it, how fresh everything was. I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of colors, flavors and textures. If you've never tried a Burmese rainbow salad, I highly recommend it! I haven't had it in awhile, and I thought Burma Spice's rendition was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! I also ordered a tea leaf salad for my coworker and she thoroughly enjoyed her dish as well. I didn't try it, but it looked very fresh!

TLDR: 10/10, my family is still raving about Burma Spice a week later! Amazing - Mango chicken, black pepper beef, Burmese chicken curry. Tea leaf salad was fresh and lots of different textures. Fiery vegetables were good but not spicy! I was excited to see how many gluten-free AND vegan options there were on the menu - a perfect candidate for my highly selective family's next takeout pick! Called at 4:30pm to give the order. The employee confirmed everything was gluten free (and it was, since my dad didn't get sick!) Our large order was ready in TEN MINUTES! When I stopped in, the place had a beautiful interior - I almost felt guilty for getting takeout. All 3 employees thanked me and said goodbye. So kind. I've had a lot of Burmese food in the Bay Area. This is one of the top places, period. Not too greasy, not too salty (especially with coconut rice) and the meat was incredibly tender. All in all, we've fired our Chinese takeout place in favor of Burma Spice.

overall: 5/5 first time trying burmese food and it's amazing!! tea leaf salad: 5/5, so good and fresh burmese chicken curry: 4/5, tasty! felt a little watery but not sure if that's how it's suppose to be normally! Nan Gyi Thoke: 5/5 so good and fresh, noodles were a bit soft for my preference but would get again

Although the menu has a nice variety of Burmese dishes and the pictures look enticing, we found all of our dishes to be surprisingly bland. Nothing bad and nothing repeat-worthy. We ordered and would not recommend the tea leaf salad, fish chowder soup, pumpkin (kabocha) stew chicken, and rice noodle salad. Service was somewhat slow and inattentive.

Burma Spice is a solid restaurant with all the essential Burmese dishes. My favorite dishes are the chili beef (goes great with the coconut rice) and the tea leaf salad. I also ordered the garlic noodles with chicken but the flavor was a bit bland and think it would be better with spice. The service was super fast and the servers are helpful if you're not sure what to order. Would come again!

We had just come from a cold outdoor event and were hungry, feeding 7 of us. We called at 9:00 pm, ask what they recommended, ordered a bunch of dishes and the food was ready in 10 minutes for carryout. Loved the eggplant, lamb curry, basil chicken and two appetizers (forget what it was called) Also really like the tea leaf salad. Glad they are so close and able to get food so quickly.

Oh MY! I went here once with a friend and absolutely loved it. I then wanted to share how delicious their food is and went here again with 10+ co-workers! To start, try their Tea Leaf Salad, as it is packed with flavor and super healthy! I would highly recommend their Fish Chowder Noodle Soup, Mango Shrimp, and Garlic Noodles. Their Fish Chowder is unique and packed with flavor, while the Mango Shrimp has a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The Garlic Noodles are chewy, flavorful and not drenched in sauce. Make sure to also get their milk teas! They can be a little sweet, so I recommend adjusting the sweetness levels. In terms of service, Burma Spice is super hospitable and is vegetarian friendly! As for their ambiance, they have a cozy, casual vibe that makes for a laid-back meal with friends or a quick lunch. Highly recommend!

We decided to try this relatively new restaurant after seeing their great reviews - and it didn't disappoint. First impressions were solid: plenty of indoor seating, friendly staff, and clean, well-organized menus with a variety of options. Lettuce Wrap (10/10) I fell in love at first bite. The texture was crispy and flavorful, with crunchy water chestnuts adding the perfect kick. We ran out of lettuce leaves toward the end, but the filling was so good we just added a side of jasmine rice to finish it off. Totally worth it, and reasonably priced too. Burma House Noodle (7/10) This was the only dish that didn't quite hit the mark for us. The portion was generous, but the sauce leaned heavily sweet and lacked the spicy or savory depth I prefer. I'm not a fan of sweet flavors in meals, so the sweetness was a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, a quick fix made all the difference... explained below. Side of Chilli Sauce (10/10) Both dishes needed a bit of a spicy kick, so we asked for chilli oil or sauce and were served what might be the best house made chilli sauce I've ever had. Intense flavor, perfect heat level - it elevated everything. I nearly asked if they sold it by the jar. If you're a spice lover, don't skip this!

Yummmmmmyyyyy! Hell yea. So happy this place opened in RWC. I've been craving a good tea leaf salad and garlic noods I cannot wait to come back with friends and family to try more options!

Great pleace Fantastic food$Service we will definetly come back with more friend to try some more another great dishes as well

Really fantastic. The tea leaf salad is a tried and true favorite, and in addition we loved the house noodles and coconut noodle soup. Also don't sleep on the samosas!

Been here a long time back. Service was chill. No fuss. Food is great! Tried the lamb chilli. Soo good
