    Catfish Chowder...they separate the noodles and contents from the soup so nothing gets soggy.

    We love this restaurant since the day it opened at 90 Charter Oak Ave. The new location looks clean and minimal...I think they're still working out the logistics since many of the tables aren't put in place yet. There are plenty of parking nearby. You can also park in the Safeway/Petco parking lot across the street as they have EV chargers. Our favorites are the Catfish Chowder, Burmese Garlic Noodles, Burma Platha Wrap with Dipping Sauce, String Beans, and of course the Tea Leaf Salad. They even sell a Tea Leaf Salad Kit so you can make your own tea leaf salad whenever you like. They also refrigerate Mango Lassi and Burmese Iced Milk Tea in a glass bottle so there's no ice cubes to dilute the flavor. Their service and quick and efficient. Once I accidentally placed an order for their Santa Clara location. They sorted it out and made my order immediately while I waited.

    Garlic Shrimp & Eggplant
    Kevin C.

    I ordered through DoorDash and tried the salt and pepper calamari along with their garlic shrimp and eggplant. The eggplant was my favorite part of the meal and was cooked perfectly with a lot of that nice garlic flavor. The only thing that caught me off guard was the shrimp portion was pretty small since there were only 3 shrimps in the whole entree. The calamari was also a bit disappointing because it came out pretty rubbery and dry. The prices also felt very high for the portion sizes you get, which you can tell from the photos I posted. I also mistakenly assumed their entrees came with rice, which was my own fault when ordering because it would have paired really well with the eggplant and the sauce. Unfortunately, I was still hungry after the meal and the calamari ended up being basically inedible for me.

    Coconut Rice (V)
    Elaine W.

    I ordered the coconut rice and the tea leaf salad with chicken added to it through a delivery app. Coconut rice 5/5: the rice was nice and fluffy with a strong coconut taste to it. Some places skip on the coconut milk when they make the coconut rice but Burma Classic does not. Pretty big portions size for the price. Tea leaf salad with chicken 3/5: I ordered the tea leaf salad with Chicken. The tea leaf part/dressing was very flavorful and not overpowering. Adding the chicken was the mistake! The cut of chicken that was added was chicken breast and it came very very dry. The chicken looked like it was pre cooked and then reheated/refried per order, which made it basically overcooked and dry. The salad portion was also on the smaller size. Overall a pretty good restaurant and I would order from them again. I would just skip out on adding chicken to the tea leaf salad next time.

    Nan Pya Thoke - the rice noodles were a little hard and dry and all clumped together. The chicken curry sauce was flavorful and the chicken was very tender! The crispy noodles were very oily so they were a bit soggy (probably also from delivery).

    Burma Burmese Garlic Noodle
    King DJane M.

    I came here for a door dash order and when I picked up it smelled so good. I decided to browse through the menu. As I was browsing I came across some salt & pepper wings which I order at any restaurant the sweet & spicy wings and they had some burma noodles and tons of everything but the wings were calling me. I couldn't decide on which ones at first being both sound so good I went with the sweet and spicy wings and of course the Burma noodles. To my luck they were hosting a promo buy 1 get another free so that made me choosing this place for lunch all the more easier. The wings were so good and the fact that they come in flats even better that's my favorite of the wings and the Burma noodles with the sauce on the side drizzled on the noodles fire. I'm happy I came and tried this place will be back

    Burmese Style Red Curry chicken, Garlic Shrimp & Eggplant, Kebat chicken
    Kelly S.

    got 3 dishes for take out: Burmese Style Red Curry chicken, Garlic Shrimp & Eggplant, Kebat chicken. flavor wise all good, but disappointing portions - the curry and eggplant boxes were both barely half full. not sure if portions are good if eating in or to pick up from the store directly, but more than once now when ordering through doordash this has occurred.

    Fiery tofu and vegetables, samosa (vegetarian), tea leaf salad, jasmine rice
    Sydney J.

    I got to try Burma Classic since it was ordered as catering/takeout for an event I attended. I ate some fiery tofu and vegetables, vegetarian samosas, tea leaf salad, and jasmine rice. My favorite was tied between the samosas and tea leaf salad; the samosas were quite delicious and savory, and so was the tea leaf salad without being too bitter, although unfortunately the event organizers didn't label the fact that it had peanuts but I did enjoy the seeds and nuts overall. The tofu and vegetables were decent but somehow I feel like it could've been even more flavorful; however, it wasn't too spicy for me to handle as someone who can only take a mild level of spiciness. Pretty good food overall, I think it's a good option if you are vegetarian.

    Coconut rice

    The garlic shrimp and eggplant was delicious, with just a hint of spice. Just the way I like it.

    Mango lassi

    The tea leaf salad was delicious! Very fresh and satisfying. The mango lassi was just a touch too sweet for my taste but I just diluted it with some oat milk and it was yummy. Plus, it came in the cutest glass bottle! I will definitely keep the bottle to repurpose.

    Kelly H.

    This place is soooo delicious. We got the pumpkin curry with tofu, ginger salad, tea leaf salad, vegetarian samosas and salt and pepper tofu. Everything was fantastic. I really loved the pumpkin curry--the taste was excellent and satisfied that fall itch. The salads were also top notch and were very refreshing. The tofu was one of my favorites, and both the tofu and samosas were great with the sauce they provided. Would definitely order from here again!

For the kids, we ordered the sesame chicken and plain garlic noodles, and they genuinely could not stop raving about the food between bites. My 10-year-old officially declared Burma Love her new favorite restaurant, and of course, her 5-year-old brother immediately had to confirm that he agreed. I ordered the tea leaf salad and samosa soup for myself. The samosa soup was absolutely fabulous--rich, flavorful, and so satisfying--and the tea leaf salad was lovely as well. Everything we ordered was delicious, and finding a restaurant that both I AND my kids are this excited about is always a win. We will absolutely be back. Easily a 10/10!

Parking for this location was very difficult, especially when you visit on a busy day. The atmosphere is moody and dark which is perfect for a date night. I ordered - Burma Chicken Mint - Nan Pia Dok - Tea leaf salad We started off with the tea salad since it was highly suggested by our waiter. I love the amount of toppings they add onto the salad and having it served table side is even better. For the salad, it was more savory and the flavor was light which helped bring out the salad more; which is a positive. The Nan Pia Dok noodles were also served table side and honestly, this was good but not quite extraordinary. Eventually halfway, the noodles lost its flavor and just felt like stir fried noodles with toppings. This was also more of a savory dish. The Burma Chicken Mint dish was also somewhat delicious but fell short towards the end as it tasted exactly what it looks like. It's not bad but does get boring fast. If you love spicy food then I highly recommend getting this; otherwise it's not really for me. The service is honestly top notch, can't really complain when the person serving you the salad is extremely friendly which breaks the awkward silence every now and then. Overall, I would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes as I'm venturing into newer territory, and honestly that's okay. The service and food was decent enough for me to give it another chance. The salad was honestly the best thing to get here.

Love this dish and very few places serve it, so highly recommend! (I think it's a lot of work to make the Burmese style tofu). Would 100% get again! Pork w pickled mangos: the mangos were a bit salty but the pork was very tender. I liked this dish but would probably try other dishes too. I really liked all the salads we got today so I want to try all the other salads! Rainbow salad: delicious! Reminded me of noodle salad (kaut swe thok) but more veg. Super healthy and delicious. Mohinga: ok. Prefer thicker soup. Least favorite dish out of our 6. Chinpaung (sour veggie) kyaw w shrimp: tons of large shrimp, delicious. Not as sour as I'd like but probably more liked by the general public Nanji thok: delicious too. Coconut rice: fragrant and flavorful. Good size. For anything charging +$2 for dry shrimp... do it! Worth the extra $2 for an extra umami/sweet taste Overall would go again. My sis said the shop is more affordable than the Burmese stores in Oakland. We met the owner and he was very nice. Taste is very authentic and good quality.

    I have not stepped into this space in almost 40 years. It was a work lunch rotation spot then when…read moreIt was a Chinese restaurant named Yunan Restaurant. It was my favorite for an extremely popular dish now prominent on Irving Street near 12th Avenue, my introduction to their famous staple chicken wings. I continued to periodically get them here until they closed. Fast forward forty years and a friend invited our group here for a birthday lunch on summer Saturday at 12:30 pm. Running late from my morning errands, I arrived shortly after the meal was ordered (Forgive me for possible inaccuracies and incomplete information) since our host ordered seventeen dishes for our party of 12 to feast on family style. Here's a summary of the highlights. Favorites in no particular order: a. Chow Kway Teow (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=OXyh4S0Zwn0zipsVbIfDRw) - flat rice noodle stir-fried with shrimp, Chinese sausage and eggs; this is a classic dish using chow fun as the base and a mix of ingredients. My favorite. b. Basil tofu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=yyuLG6v-DwEePR0j1kArYg) - tofu and shiitake mushroom in basil sauce; I enjoyed the ingredient mix and the sauce made everything balanced. c. Singaporean curry noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=W1xq3h8e0WW7u20WyKJB9w) - glass noodle stir fried in our special curry sauce with shredded chicken; not your typical version as it is glass (as in transparent) noodles, a more slippery texture. This is also wet and made with mushroom slices. My 2nd favorite. d. Sambal okra (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=a5na569KcDG96eS9q_kHVg) - Wok fried okra with spicy sambal sauce; I enjoy the texture of okra though it's an acquired taste. The spice level was perfect for me, medium with a lean towards spicier. The other notable dish is the Hainan chicken rice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=hCAhsBqrYfSFKP1mKg7Sjg), steamed chicken served with rice cooked in broth and ginger. It came with three sauces, a special soy sauce, garlic ginger sauce, and a bright red chili sauce. It was well made though I wished the rice was more fragrant. The restaurant was empty aside from our party when I walked in at 12:45 pm for several diners came in as our meal progressed. The two young ladies who tended to our party were efficient in removing empty plates and refilling our water glasses. In reading other reviews, the chili dungeness crab seems to be a popular dish. Maybe on my next visit.

First, the pros: very pleasant staff and quite reasonable prices. But the quality of the food was extremely erratic. We ordered six dishes, of which one was good (5*), two were 2*, and three were fails. At the high end, we started with the roti prata, which was excellent - among the best. Unfortunately, everything after that underwhelmed us. The common characteristic of all the following dishes was sheer blandness. They ALL needed additional seasoning. Specifically, 1) The char kway teow (2*) was mediocre. There was flavor from the shrimp and the dish was okay to eat, but a long way from top quality. Could have used more ingredients other than noodles. 2) The laksa also had an okay taste, probably from the coconut milk and some mild seasoning, but absolutely needed more pepper 3) the basil tofu was bizarre - a brownish heap of tofu and mushrooms, with no basil in sight 4) The mee goering also was bland, lacking both seasoning, character, and other (non-noodle) ingredients. 5) Finally, particular scorn for the beef rendang, which is one of my favorite dishes. A good rendang has slow-cooked, relatively large beef cubes that should be fork-tender. The Lime Tree version beef is tough, cut into smaller cubes that are chewy. The sauce should have some kick to it and you should taste the tamarind. None of that was in the Lime Tree version. What we got, instead, was a visually unappealing brown beef stew, with a sauce that tasted like it came out of a can. The Bay Area could use a good Malaysian/Indonesian restaurant, and I would like The Lime Tree to be that restaurant. But they need to make their dishes much, much more authentic: use better ingredients (and more of them!) and don't hold back on the spices. I would rather pay a little more for better quality food.
