Good food, reasonably priced right on the main drag of downtown Burlingame. It's a small place and we had to wait for about 15 minutes to get a table. Burmese food items resembled a fusion of Indian & Thai Cuisine. We ordered Samusa, Veechu Parotta & Noodles which were plenty for three of us. And to suit the local tastes was less spice. Though service was quick, it could have been little bit more pleasant. Also, ambiance could use some upgrade with better lighting. Overall good food at a great location. Would visit again.
It's a decent Burmese restaurant in the middle of downtown Burlingame. The menu is pretty extensive. The food was good. Service was OK; on a cold and windy evening we had to fight for the heater and the staff didn't look too friendly.
We have been here multiple times, there paratha and dip is great. We love their noodles as well. Ordered the tea leaf salad for the first time and it wasn’t up to the expectation. Will stick to ordering noodles next time
