"You can walk right up to this cheery orange-walled spot in the Richmond any night of the week and have tea leaf salad in front of you within minutes. Theirs is a solid rendition made with whole (instead of the usual crushed) tea leaves. And while it lacks a bit of the citrus zing that higher-ranked salads on this guide possess, it’s still a nice start to the hearty meal ahead. More hits that should accompany your salad: garlic noodles that are absolutely showered in fried garlic, and the onion-heavy chicken curry. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Come to this spot in the Richmond for homestyle Burmese food—including the incredible garlic noodles that’ll make you walk away from dinner considering a committed partnership with them, shared apartment and all. The flat egg noodles are peppery and generously coated in butter. Green onions and crunchy garlic bits add excellent texture. They all come together to create punchy umami flavors that’ll have the whole table jockeying for the last bite. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"On weeknights when you’d rather fold 100 fitted sheets than pull out a frying pan and cook dinner, the answer is always Burmese Kitchen. This spot has a lengthy menu of soups, noodles, and meat and seafood entrées—so if you don’t know where to start, go for the springy garlic noodles. They’re loaded with pork and crunchy garlic you’ll want atop everything on the table. They pair well with the bone-in chicken coconut curry, an onion-y dream. The best part? Walk in and you’ll always find a seat inside the bright orange space. " - julia chen 1

And the tender bone-in chicken coconut curry is an onion-y dream. Sit among the cheery orange walls and umbrellas hanging overhead and know that this spot will save you any time your weekly dose of cooking dread hits." - Julia Chen
"Properly prepared danbauk with marinated and spiced chicken leg and thigh layered with rice. Exceptional tea leaf salad and slightly thicker mohinga." - Omar Mamoon
