Menu (Front Side), March 2026

The food here was not bad. Three stars because some of the dishes we ordered were really oily. Service was good and there is ample free parking. We started with the Tea Leaf Salad, a staple of Burmese restaurants. Their tea leaf salad was not bad. It had all of the standard ingredients, but was a little oily. Although it's not available here, we actually prefer our Tea Leaf Salad with dried shrimp, as it adds to the umami flavor. If you've never had Tea Leaf Salad, this is a good dish to try here. Next, we had the Mango Salad. We were a little bit apprehensive when it arrived because it looked like it would taste just like the Tea Leaf Salad. Fortunately, it has a very different taste. The pickled mango was really good. This salad also includes fried onions and fried garlic, but just enough to flavor the dish with something crispy without making it greasy. Unlike the Tea Leaf Salad, this salad was not oily at all, making it a healthier option. We would definitely order this one again. Our next dish was the Garlic Shrimp with Eggplant. As noted in other reviews, the Garlic Eggplant is a really popular dish. For another $5, you can order it as a shrimp dish. The taste of this dish was good, but it was really greasy. The eggplant was just sopping with oil. This is a good dish for people who don't mind the oil. But for people who do, it's not a good choice. We also tried the Salmon Lemongrass Fusion. The description sounded really good. The flavor of this dish was also good, but it didn't pair well with the Garlic Shrimp with Eggplant. Both have a brown sauce that taste kind of the same. We probably should have ordered the Dry Curry Chicken instead, which has a different base. The salmon was a little dry. It really needed the sauce for hydration. This sauce seemed to have a lot of oil in it, too. We checked their website before going. When we signed up for their text messaging, we received a 20% discount coupon, which we used for this dinner. Overall, the price after discount was reasonable. Many of the dishes appeared to be wok fried. Not sure if we'll be back due to the oiliness of the dishes we tried today.

If you're looking for some decent Southeast Asian food, this is definitely one of your go-to spots in the Warm Springs area (if you live in south Fremont, very close, or if you live in Milpitas!) -- thank you to the MANY Yelp friends that put me on this place, because I do not regret deciding to go to this place. This restaurant can be packed at times due to its limited seating, so my best suggestion would be to plan accordingly WHEN you want to go for lunch or dinner. However, everything else is impeccable -- from the hospitality, to the food, to the environment. Here's how my experience went:There was a little bit of a wait when I went with my family -- maybe at tops 15 minutes? That wait was worth it though -- so there's that. However, as soon as we got seated -- they introduced us to some of the special dishes that they had. The waitresses answered our questions with lots of professionalism, which we honestly felt welcomed. We got the Aw No Khao Swye, and two more dishes. They were really saucy, and very rich in flavor -- not too saucy and overbearing in flavor. We got their salad and also their chicken over coconut sauce, most of which were absolutely delicate and yummy things. I really appreciated the fact that a lot of work was put into making these dishes taste really good. Their tea was also top tier too! I would definitely come back to try more of their dishes :)

Burmese Garlic Noodles
Kimm N.

Came here for lunch with a friend per her recommendation. Was pleasantly surprised with the food. This isn't the traditional take of Burmese food as I thought. They really tweaked to the local western taste here and the dishes that we ordered were delicious especially the tea salad. It reminded me of another chinese cuisine (Hakka version of tea salad/rice). That said this dish is refreshingly tasty, zesty and fragrant (from the fried peas and garlic and their own special house concoction of the tea mixed dressing). Highly recommended to try this. (Note: The dish typically is served to table with all mixed in. However in our case we asked not to pre-mix the various ingredients when serve to us. Thus you can see from my photo here, the beautiful plating and dish presentation. We also ordered the garlic noodles that came with a side sauce you are supposed to mix in to enhance the flavor even more. The noodle itself was already tasty on its own though. Also ordered their garlic eggplant which again was very tasty and silky. The only nitpick was the dishes were a little too oily and I felt bloated after the meal. So next time I come, I will ask to reduce the oil... Ambiance: Nice spacious interior seatings and ample parking. Only complaint is it can get a little too noisy on weekends. So a good place to enjoy meal but not a good place for deep conversation.

Food was delicious , while on the road we stopped here and were surprised with a wonderful meal, the food we tasted is making us wanna go back for more, I wish we'd still in the East Bay ! Great attentive service Ambiance is very simple, good tables and tasteful decor, very well lit We loved the Coconut Chicken Noodle soup , basil chili beef and garlic noodles Not dog friendly since there is no outdoor dining, plenty of parking right outside the restaurant.

Had the pleasure of trying this place with a close friend on a Saturday for lunch around 3:00 pm. It's a well known restaurant in Fremont for its Burmese food, which you can also find in San Jose and Sunnyvale for other Burmese restaurants. It's an imitate, classy dining experience with fine dining aspects. Lots of open tables when we walked in, after/before the lunch rush, and they also have a bar for alcoholic drinks. We were sat immediately at a booth. They also serve cucumber water, so healthy and refreshing. We ordered a tea leaf salad, deep fried lotus roots, and Nan Gyi Doks. The deep fried lotus has a great golden brown color, and the server gave us a tip to wait a bit so it would get even crunchier. It was crunchy and not too dry. They paired it with a garlic aioli, and it added a great savory flavor. The tea leaf salad has a complex earthy taste from the nuts, dressing, and veggies. Very filling despite being light and easily shareable. The Nan Gyi Dok had a beautiful presentation of golden and brown colors. The sliced egg added a pop of white color that really stood out as additional protein. It was savory, great sauce, and good chunks of meat inside the noodles. I only ate half as it was very filling! I definitely recommend this place if you want to try Burmese food!

Tea Leaf Salad (GF) (V)

Went here for lunch after a hike with family. Always love a good tea leaf salad and this place offers one to satiate that desire. The place looks regular from outside but its pretty nice and neat inside. The host & servers are also welcoming and the service was fast. Not too crowded for a Sunday lunch. There are ample veggie options and they can also take request to adjust for vegetarians. If you like a little spicier, go for their medium spice, as the mild versions were a little bland.

mango salad
Rita W.

went on a Saturday for late lunch, place was mostly empty by then samosas - 6/10 nothing too special? felt a lil dry mango salad - 7/10 okay maybe I've never had mango salad before but this was more salad than mango - also note that it's green mango so if you're expecting the yellow sweet kind then nah ; not bad tho, just felt like alt salad to me lamb curry - 8/10 pretty good, didn't have the gamey lamb taste so that was nice ohn-no khao swe - 9/10 don't even know what this was but it was great - had noodles in a soup w chicken service seemed fine as-is; server was chill & talked to us like we were homies which was kinda funny?

Burmese Rainbow Salad GF
Julie T.

I've never had Burmese food before and when my friend suggested it for her birthday, I couldn't say no and I'm glad we were able to try it out. We can when they opened at 11AM and were seated right away. The space is bright inside, clean, with many tables and booths. Here's what we ordered for the 4 of us to share: Burmese Rainbow Salad $14.95 (4/5) Comes with thin egg noodles, vermicelli noodles, jasmine rice, and lots of cut up veggies (cucumber, potatoes, papaya, onions) and it came warm. So when you think of salad you think cold... but this was an interesting combo i think because of the noodles and rice had to be heated up. Moh Hin Ga (pureed catfish chowder) $14.95 (3/5) This also was really interesting. It was thick soup and had small pieces of pureed catfish floating around. Lots of flavor going on. I think after having the salad and the same type of noodles going on. This was just ok. Lettuce wrap with tofu $12.95 (4/5) We got the sauce on the side and good thing we did because the tofu was really well seasoned. Went well with the lettuce wraps. Dry Curry Chicken $17.95 (4/5) When you see dry, you think why would they serve dry anything. Nobody likes dry foods. But this was good. The curry coconut sauce is just reduced down with the chicken and string bean, bell pepper, and okra. I would get this again. Honey & Lemon Beef $18.95 (5/5) Thin strips of meat, crunchy beef sweetened mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, condensed milk, lemon, and honey. This was tasty. For dessert they gave us mango ice cream and with a candle sparkler! Service was great! Burmese food I think is similar to Thai dishes and I think I would definitely come back to try more!

Interior
Prem D.

It was not crowded at all and Interior is clean, nothing Picturesque. Tea salad was very good. Ohn no khao swe noodle soup was decent. Burmese garlic noodle we asked for spicy one, we got them spicy. Good service as not much crowd was there, won't mind going again. Biggest problems was not the food but the rather their bowls, particularly for a soup it was very narrow bowl for a noodle soup, it was hard to mix or move the food around, next the bowels given to eat for the soup were very small, that too for a noodle soup made the whole experience poor, if it wads not for that I would have added another star.

It was the only place open in the area with not-bad food at 3pm on Black Friday, so here we came. We were pleasantly surprised! Liked everything we ordered: lotus root crisps, tea leaves salad, a onion-y tomato-y cumin-y beef dish, garlic noodles, sticky rice dessert. My only slight complaint would be that the garlic noodles were too heavy on the sauce; I couldn't finish the last 1/3 bottom of it. The tea beer was also a nice find. It's from an Alameda brewery and doesn't seem to be sold anywhere (not even on the brewery's website). I regret not bringing a few cans home. Yes - it's that good and it's worth the restaurant alcohol premium!

Salt & Pepper Calamari ($12.95)
Rachel L.

Pretty solid flavors and dishes! We had the salt & pepper calamari, burmese style chicken curry, burmese garlic noodles, and lamb kebat. The calamari was super crispy on the outside with big chunks of squid. The chicken curry was flavorful but a bit in the salty side, and I wish there was more sauce. The chicken portion is generous though! The garlic noodles were fragrant but on the sweeter side. I liked the addition of cucumbers for a nice refreshing crunch. Lastly, the lamb kebat was a really earthy dish and slightly gamey. Interesting dish! Workers were very nice and food comes out so fast! The place itself is super spacious. Overall, pretty good spot!

To go Dry Curry Shrimp (GF)shrimp
Dang L.

Wanted some tea leaf salad so looked it up and stopped by. I ordered through toast and it was very convenient. The place wasn't crowded starting to fill up from the lunch crowd so it was noisy when you enter. The food was ready to go. I drove 15 min home and ate it. Tea leaf salad: 4.5 stars. everything was so fresh. I like that they used a mix of Romaine and cabbage. However, I wished the not the cabbage and romaine was in thinner shreds because you have to take such a big bite (minus 0.5 stars). However they packaged everything separately which was very thoughtful. The seeds and nuts were crunchy. Tea leaf dressing was so good. Yummy. Definitely satisfying. I could probably eat it all myself. Dry curry shrimp: 5 stars. Love that they let you choose your spice level. For the little one, I picked a non spicy. The okra and green bean were so good, texture is great and flavors were so on point but not spicy. Also there was plenty of shrimp as well. I think this will be my new to go place!!

Calamari
Cin-Yee S.

Fresh flavors and strong execution on Burmese dishes at this spacious eatery. My favorites are the mango or tea leaf salad, minted jalapeño chicken, beef tofu, and chicken coconut curry noodle soup. Lunch specials are a great value that let you try all the house specialties.

Ask the Community - Burma Bay Cafe

Are reservations recommended for a group of 7 for dinner?

I would suggest it because the place gets packed during peak times. We got there at 6:30 pm and there was lots of seating available. By 7:30 pm, all tables were occupied.

Hi, recently learned that this place was halal, can the owners verify please?

Yes the meats are Halal.

Is this a Togo only or there is a dine in?

It's open for dine in now 2024

I'll go into detail for each: - the kubideh combo (chicken and beef) were the juiciest and fresh kabobs you'll find around. Serves with very well made white rice that'd be delicious on its own - Texan burger was so rich and juicy with a spectrum of flavor that'll make you overeat - the manto dumpling was easily the best one I've had though I haven't had too many this one definitely was cooked to perfection - very friendly staff that goes out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction - it's a clean, well kept and cozy place to sit - nice outdoor seating with effective heating - bathroom is also clean

This review is long overdue, but I feel obligated to share our experience so other families know…read morewhat to expect from Kabob Fusion. My family and I, two adults and two young children, came here during Ramadan for iftaar. Before arriving, I specifically called ahead to ask whether we needed to come early because I understood restaurants can become very busy during iftaar time. I was told that arriving 10 to 15 minutes before iftaar would be perfectly fine and that our food would be ready around the time of breaking fast. Based on that reassurance, we came about 20 minutes before iftaar expecting a smooth experience. Instead, the moment we walked in, it felt like we were invisible. The restaurant was crowded but not chaotic. We sat down and waited while servers walked past us repeatedly without acknowledging us. Eventually, I had to flag someone down myself just to place an order. I even asked directly how long the food would take because we were fasting all day and had two small children with us. The server confidently assured us the food would arrive around iftaar time. That never happened. When iftaar finally arrived, all we received were dates and water. No appetizers, no main dishes, nothing. We continued waiting while table after table around us received their food. Meanwhile, our children became increasingly upset and hungry. Anyone with young kids knows that after a full day of fasting, asking them to wait another 20, 30, even 50 minutes is nearly impossible. Our kids were crying, exhausted, and confused as they watched other families eat while we sat there with empty plates. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of honesty and accountability. Every time we asked about our order, we were told, "It's coming soon." Then eventually the server disappeared entirely for nearly 20 minutes and avoided us altogether. A woman later approached us, but instead of apologizing or taking our concerns seriously, she became dismissive and defensive. By this point, nearly 50 minutes had passed since we ordered, and she still insisted we "shouldn't complain" (in Farsi) because the food would come "soon." That response was honestly more upsetting than the delay itself. A simple apology, honesty, or basic compassion toward a fasting family with small children would have gone a long way. We eventually left the restaurant feeling humiliated, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. What saddened me most is that this happened during Ramadan, a month centered around patience, generosity, hospitality, and good character. In Afghan culture and Islamic ethics, guests are supposed to be treated with dignity and care, especially during iftaar. Halal is not only about the food being permissible. Halal is also about honesty, fairness, respect, and how people are treated. Sadly, this restaurant failed in all of those areas. We will never return, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for respectful service or a welcoming family environment.

Everything was flavorful, the sauces were on point, and the food arrived piping hot as I asked, although this kid who took my order made it complicating As someone Middle Eastern, I'm picky about shawarma, and this definitely hit the mark.
