A-MA-ZING! All dishes at Burma Love are absolutely delicious! The Tea leaf salad is definitely a must (I come back just for the best salad that I've ever had in my entire life and the main reason I recommend this place to all my friends again and again). The Skillet Prawns, the Chicken with Mint, and the Lamb curry are all so enjoyable. Cocktails are great! I Really enjoyed the Burma Superstar. And last but not least, the Platha Dessert, just made me smile, I started laughing with joy! This is why every time I come to San Francisco, I come back to Burma Love. An absolute 10!
I recently tried the weekday lunch special at the Burmese restaurant atop the Mission neighborhood. The meal included soup, salad, and black rice pudding for dessert. Here's my brief review:
The tea leaf salad was a bit disappointing, lacking the flavor punch I had hoped for. However, the soup was absolutely phenomenal, bursting with rich and complex flavors.
To wrap up, the black rice pudding for dessert was a sweet delight. While the tea leaf salad didn't quite hit the mark, the remarkable soup and delightful dessert made the visit worthwhile. Consider exploring other menu options for a potentially even better experience.
I'm always a fan of burma love! I've been to the other location, so I wanted to try the mission location.
Good:
- I love the tea leaf salad here - it's always got a nice spread of textures and it's always so tasty and healthy
- The Pratha here is to die for, it's always so warm and flakey
- The coconut curry noodles were solid as well - lots of flavor and a unique menu options
- I got a cocktail here that was nice and fruity, forgot what it was called though
- Cool ambiance, dimly lit and good for a catchup without too much noise
- Nice servers
Bad:
- The food can take a while to arrive, and it's a bit slow
Overall this place was really good and a classic to take friends to!
Got the vegetarian samusa- incredible flavors. Savory and delicious. Love the vegetables you add in - the crispiness is fun in a soup. I could eat this all night.
Rainbow salad- also good! Recommend as an app for two.
Fried banana (pictured)- small and good.

Amazing food and I love that they have a Pimms cocktail. Really friendly and kind staff, overall loved it. My only complaint is that the acoustics aren’t great, so it can be a bit difficult to hear at times.
Everyone’s here for the tea leaf salad but two underrated dishes are the chickpea tofu appetizer and pork belly with mustard greens!
Tofu was surprisingly good and the pork belly was not fatty at all. The mustard greens were super savoury and reminded us of northern Chinese dishes.
Coconut rice too sweet tho! More like a dessert.
The platha with dip, tea leaf salad and Burmese curry with cat fish were all super tasty!!! I was not a fan of the garlic pea sprouts because the vegetables tasted old/stale and stringy. Otherwise, it was a terrific dining experience in Mission and I’d come back for the tea leaf salad, and to try other menu items.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while! Our server was amazing and super knowledgeable about the menu. Tea leaf salad is a must! Curries are also delicious. Really enjoyed the Burmarita (I think that’s what it’s called) I will say, parking is extremely difficult, so give yourself time to find a spot or Uber.
My first time experiencing Burmese food and I was quite impressed! The customer service was impeccable and I have never received food so quickly! The platha & dip was a personal favorite of mine, flaky roti with a rich curry. The tea leaf salad is a must, fresh flavors with multiple textures that work perfectly. We also tried the Nan Pia Dok which was a great noodle option. We tried the Burmese curry which paired perfectly with the fragrant and tropical coconut rice. Last but not least, the eggplant garlic sauce is a dish you don’t want to miss. The sauce is so well balanced and elevates the eggplant. You can also enjoy yourself with some coconut water from a coconut. This restaurant is a great rendition of Burmese food!
Good restaurant, cozy with a nice atmosphere. The service is really good and for many meals they let you leave the "experience" (just mixing at your table all the ingredients of a salad or of the noodles maybe to justify the price). Beside the "food experience" is good Burmese food, but not the best.
