The ambiance inside this restaurant is lovely - nice open area with a clean decor. The food was good - Burmese cuisine is similar to Thai with a twist. My favorite was the Roti Platha ($10) and an extra charge for the chicken curry dipping sauce and the Rainbow Spring Roll ($14) The Chilean Seabass (Inle Fisherman - $36) was a little lacking in flavor. We could have skipped the Garlic Noodles ($23), which tasted a bit funny - a bit sweet? The fact that they charged $6-7 for rice was overdone - some of these dishes should have just came with a bowl of rice. The Eggplant with Garlic Sauce ($18) was good - hard to mess that one up! Overall a good spot for Burmese cuisine in the Menlo Park area!
Dinner for 3 at Burma Love was enjoyable! Service was attentive and the ambiance was cute. It's also a plus that there's an underground parking to the left of the restaurant that is free for the first 2 hours. We ordered to share: - scallion pancake with kabocha dip (4.5/5) - garlic noodles with added shrimp (3/5) -- black pepper was the prominent flavor - coconut chicken curry with a side of coconut rice (4/5) - eggplant with garlic sauce (5/5) -- favorite! umami-bomb - steamed sea bass (3/5) -- was a bit bland Additionally, we can't forget the Litchi Express cocktail, which was super aesthetic and delicious. Overall it was good; though not the best Burmese food I've had, it's definitely still worth revisiting.
Came to Burma Love and enjoyed the meal. Of course we started with some cocktails and of course we went with the holiday specials. Both were good, but the Butter Moon was definitely better than the Emerald Heart. For an appetizer we decided to go with the Roti Platha. Personally, I thought the curry was too salty and a bit heavy on the spices. Personal preference, I like my chicken curry dips to be a little more coconut forward. For mains, we shared the Mohinga and the Pork Belly. Both of these were really tasty! The Mohinga had a good amount of noodles and I really enjoyed the play on textures and flavors everywhere. The pork belly was also unctuous and super tasty but the coconut rice was really overcooked unfortunately. It was basically mush. Overall, our meal was super tasty. Burma Love is a very convenient new favorite with all its locations.
We arrived here on a mid Sunday afternoon and were able to be pleasantly seated for our party of 6. The interior decor looked quite nice with sparkling chandeliers and everything looked clean. Roti 5/5: fresh, crispy, although oily. we chose the coconut chicken curry as the side which was a solid choice. It came with small chicken chunks which was a plus! Coconut chicken curry 4.5/5: the curry was so creamy and tasty! It had a slight refreshing lemongrass taste, with plenty of chicken pieces. Mohinga 4/5: this meal was definitely a generous portion size! The fish filets were well fried but remained soft on the inside, it was a bit bland though. The soup itself was very flavorful with a decent kick of spice. There were plentiful rice noodles in the dish! The prices are a bit steep, but the quality of food and service make up for it!
It is located at the new building complex across Menlo Park downtown with free underground parking which is very convenient. Their interior was modern but the tables are a but crowded. They have a good selection of cocktails and food. We love Tea Leaf salad and Mohinga.
Really great food! Cute vibe! Service was attentive but not overbearing. There is a parking garage close by. The tea leaf salad is amazing! We ordered noodles, curry. and green beans. The green beans were so flavorful I could honestly eat that entire plate myself. They have a full cocktail menu as well, but we didn't try anything on this particular visit. Definitely would come back!
Came here with a group of 5! We only got to sit outdoors and got the heat lamps. If you want indoors, definitely book ahead of time. We ordered a number of things, and even though the portions look small, but everything is rich. We were very full by the end of this. I would probably skip out on apps (but get the tea leaf salad!) and would also get the drinks. Drinks are yummy and creative, esp the mango lassi (vegan?). Service was pretty attentive despite us sitting outside. Nothing to complain there! They also valet your ticket if you park downstairs and go beyond 2 hours.
Everything was amazing ! From service, ambiance and especially food. It was my first time experiencing Burmese cusine. And i'm glad that I did. I would definitely come back with friends and families since you can easily find something for anybody. From vegan to soups, dry pots etc.
I haven't tried this restaurant yet, but so far I have received very good service from this place. I found out about it through their website when I was looking at it to find out more about where I could get their tea leaf salad dressing. I was hoping to get the traditional and spicy version of their sauce because I have only found the vegan version in stores. When I arrived though, they only had the packaged vegan version on hand, so they offered to hand-pack the traditional dressing they had at the restaurant to make a kit for me. I put in an order for the spicy version, and I decided to take their hand-packed traditional version to go. If you come here to buy their Tea Leaf Salad Dressing Kit, this is the advice that they gave me: call ahead to see what they have available, and if they don't have any, place a request, and it should arrive by the following Friday. The sauce at the restaurant is cheaper than what grocery stores that carry the product charge, so it's definitely worth the detour. The ambiance is upscale, and I look forward to trying the food that the restaurant prepares at a future date.
The restaurant was beautiful with plenty of parking nearby. We got 3 cocktails and they were all pretty good, except the clarified milk wash one. Make reservations online because it gets pack! Our server Camille was amazing! She was so helpful when it came to giving suggestion on drinks and food items to choose from.
Came here for Valentine's Day with my girlfriend, and we both had an incredible, romantic experience. The servers were delightful and offered their recommendations. We had the Valentine's Day Special that came with a 4-course meal for $125 - this included a tasty salad, two appetizers of your choice (we got oysters and samosas), two main entrees (we got duck curry and sea bass), and a chocolate mousse dessert. This was a great value and every dish was a 10/10; we even got a free rose and the recipe for their salad at the end of the meal. If this were any indicator of what Burmese food can be, the bar is set extremely high.
My kids took me here for my bday celebration and first of all - the staff was SO NICE and friendly. I believe it was the manager that came by to wish me a happy birthday! And checked on us during the meal... Very welcoming and friendly! And the aesthetics here was so beautiful and relaxing. Loved it... We started with drinks - middle and hubby got their ube thai which definitely had the ube flavor... I got the Temple of Tamarind! SO GOOD - the rim the glass with tamarind so if you want more of the tamarind flavor you can sip from the rim vs just drinking from the straw. Was tempted to get another - definitely if you love tamarind - this is a must try!! For our meal, we started off with the Tea Leaf Salad. My all time FAVORITE. I wish they offered different sizes like Burma Superstar - I would've gotten a LARGE for sure!! But probably better not to overstuff given all the food we ordered! LOL... We also got the Burmese Fritters which has kabocha! We LOVE kabocha and this did NOT disappoint! With their spicy tamarind sauce! SO GOOD!! And then my youngest (who couldn't make it but recommended this dish) got the Crab Rangoon dip! MY oh MY. Cheesy and crabby with their fresh chips - I can see why she loves this dip - as now we do as well!! For the mains - we got the coconut chicken curry with coconut rice, hawker garlic noodles and eggplant with garlic sauce. EVERYTHING was flavorful, delicious and my mouth is watering just thinking about it all!! The portions are HUGE - the coconut chicken curry had a little sweetness to it - not spicy - with little potatoes and tender chicken. But that SAUCE!! I ended up getting extra coconut rice to go with my leftover curry and am looking forward to eating it again!! The garlic noodles - WOW - the noodle texture was perfect and I realized after - they used EGG noodles! Really took it to the next level in texture and I love that they put the spicy sauce on the side so those who like the extra spicy can add to their noodles! Comes with fresh cut little cucumbers so you get a bit of crunch with the chewiness of the noodles! SO GOOD!! And then there's the eggplant. We all LOVE eggplant and while this was a bit spicy (but you can pick out the red chili peppers out) - the eggplant itself was cooked PERFECTLY. Chunks that were meaty and flavorful - didn't fall apart - still had the bite AND the flavors! Amazing and perfect for eggplant lovers... And because it was my bday - i got a complimentary chocolate cake with a candle. That cake was SO tender and chocolately - it was very good and just the right amount for us all to take a bite BECAUSE we still ordered the coconut pandan cake! HIGHLY recommend. The texture was perfect and flavors on point! Not too sweet and you can taste the pandan! LOVE Burma Love and this is definitely our go to for Burmese food! Service, atmosphere, food... all exceptional! I can't wait to go back and try more of their other dishes!! OH and they have a parking lot at the complex. Free for the 1st 2 hours and restaurant validation if over 2 hrs. Because we were celebrating my bday we passed the 2 hr mark and they validated for us so it was FREE parking in an underground parking! Can't go wrong there!! So happy to have found this place and can't wait to come back!!
Came for a quick lunch and was wildly underwhelmed. We ordered the friend chicken and garlic noodles with shrimp to share. The food was tasty, except for the fact that the noodles came with chicken instead of shrimp. This leads me to what made the experience meh. We sat at the bar and the bartender could not have been bothered. They barely greeted us, when we opted for regular water he brought the glasses but didn't give us water until we asked once our food arrived, and when the noodles came with chicken instead of shrimp, I confirmed that I had ordered shrimp to which he said, "oh yea, I guess I out chicken" and he just stared at me. At that point I just left it as is and ate the food that was out in front of me. We asked for the check and again, just no sense of urgency or hospitality. Given that the location is convenient and the place is super cute, I feel like it could be a better experience if service improves.
My Aunt & I chose to celebrate our birthdays jointly in Menlo Park's Burma Love. I've previously dined in BL's two other locations in San Francisco's Financial and Mission District and upon settling at our table, I became immediately drawn to its more spacious dining area and modern interior by comparison. The service was very efficient in taking our orders and the hostess was very hospitable by lowering the window blind just for us and by regularly checking-in. I commend BL for serving three samosas for our party of three because normally, a samosa appetizer only consists of two. The samosas & tea leaf salad had a crispy texture. In addition to the sweet-flavored coconut rice and earthy brown rice, the roti bread also complimented the lamb curry. The chicken and beef chili entrees were mild spicy and tangy. My Burmese Butterfly mocktail was a refreshing beverage to start the meal and the iced-milk tea later complimented my toffee cake dessert well. We overall enjoyed a most pleasant Sunday evening dining experience. I'm also glad we reserved a 5pm seating as the restaurant became busy by 7pm. read more

Consistently Great Food and Ambiance in Menlo Park I can't believe I haven't written a review sooner--we have been here several times now for both small family dinners and larger group gatherings, and it is a consistent favorite of ours. While the portion sizes are on the smaller side for the price point, the overall dining experience makes it well worth it on occasion. The restaurant has a beautiful, upscale yet bright and reasonably kid-friendly indoor ambiance. Booking online is seamless, and parking is incredibly easy right underground in the Springline lot. The cocktails are good, and you absolutely cannot go wrong with the tea leaf salad, the roti pratha with coconut chicken curry, and the garlic chili prawns. The garlic noodles and fried rice can be a bit hit-or-miss; we have had visits where they are packed with flavor, have a perfect texture, and are a massive hit with the kids, but other times they have turned up a bit bland or with mushy noodles. The manager and staff are friendly and welcoming, and the manager has gone out of their way to accommodate our walk-in group on at least two occasions. My biggest tip is to avoid booking the outdoor seating. It consists of only one or two tables situated right on El Camino Real, making it way too noisy to enjoy your meal. Stick to the gorgeous indoor dining room or bar seating for a solid meal. read more

I have been to quite a few Burmese restaurants in San Francisco and was really surprised to see one closer to the South Bay! I happened to stumble upon it with my friend and remembered loving the one in San Francisco so we decided to give this location a shot as well. The inside of the restaurant was very welcoming and clean. We had arrived around brunch time and found out that they only had the brunch menu at this location, which was really neat. We were immediately seated. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We ended up ordering the Shakshuka, B.F.C Palaffle, Laphet Tea Lead Salad and iced Burmese milk tea. Our favorite was the Shuka, which included the scallion pancake, and the tea leaf salad. I would definitely come back again to try some of their other menu items in the future! read more

Came here on a Wednesday night with 4 others. We got here at 7ish but didn't have a reservation. They told us it would be about a 20 min wait which was fine for us. We got seated pretty quickly. The inside is beautiful and well decorated so def passes the vibe check. We had some vegetarians at our table and so the non veg people decided to split food family style. Service was quick to get our orders in. We all got the laphet tea leaf salad to share with all of us. The 3 of us got the bfc, coconut chicken curry with a side of coconut rice, and garlic noodles with beef. Everything was DELICIOUS, everything had great flavor and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered dessert at the end and split it amongst 5 people. It was honestly enough for all of us cus we were so full lol. The dessert was some of the best cake I've had. I would def come back! read more
Beautiful ambience and a great spot for happy hour--50% off select cocktails is an amazing deal, although it only runs until 4. There aren't many vegetarian options, but I ordered the garlic noodles and they were very good with the spicy sauce served on the side. My partner had the chicken curry and enjoyed it, though he felt it was comparable to dishes at other places that cost less. Overall, the food is solid, but it doesn't quite feel worth the price, which is why my rating is lower. read more
When I think back to the my first time trying Burma Superstar, it's ridiculously impressive how far they've come. From their singular, original location on Clement Street in SF, through various iterations of offshoots and expansions, their family tree of restaurants has now grown into the double digits under a growing number of names. Now, after spreading across the entirety of SF, as well as into the East Bay, it's awesome to see that they're now expanding their footprint towards the South Bay! Compared to the homely decor and cozy vibes of the original Burma Superstar, the newest Burma Love is adorned with a far trendier concept that's even fitted with a fully stocked bar. Thankfully, though, they're still mostly the same where it matters the most - the menu. Having already taken a peek at it online before coming here, we weren't surprised to see that the lineup of the lunch menu is slightly different and narrower than the dinner menu. However, there was still plenty for us to choose from and most of their dishes appear on both, including staples like their Tea Leaf Salad, Mohinga, Samosa Soup, and the Burmese Fried Chicken friends had recommended to me! -- THE LITCHI EXPRESS - Hangar One Rose Vodka, St. Germaine, Lemon Juice, Aquafaba, Lychee-Dragonfruit & Rosewater Syrup, Lychee Fruit, Rose Crystals...$18 I don't usually go for martinis, but this one was pretty tasty. The overall flavors were pretty balanced - the pour of vodka in this was just right, the lychee was central but not overly intense, and I liked how the lemon juice added just a bit of acidity to cut through everything. -- FIERY MANGO - Thai Chili Infused Tequila Blanco, Mango Cordial, Cointreau and Lime Finished with a Tajin Rim...$17 Much like the first time I ever tried a mangonada, this initially seemed just okay, but it grew on me as I kept going. Between the chili in the tequila and the Trajin rim, the taste of chili was overwhelming, but I liked how the mango offset the spice more and more I do wish the mango had been ever stronger, though. -- TEA LEAF SALAD (Laphet) - Fermented Tea Leaf Dressing, Nuts & Seeds, Garlic, Tomato, and Sweet Baby Gems...$23 Something about this one didn't feel the same as Burma Superstars, but it was still really, really good! The lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh and I loved how the nuts, seeds, and garlic chips added some crunch. The fermented tea leaves were the star, though - just oh so delicious! -- MOHINGA - Fish Chowder, Garlic, Ginger, Lemongrass, Cilantro, Shallots, Soft Boiled Egg, and Pea Chip...$23 The inverse of the Tea Leaf Salad - not only did this look better than the one at Burma Superstar, but it tasted better, too. While the flavors in the soup were the same (rich and hearty), serving most of the components separately made a huge difference, as they all stayed fresher and didn't get soggy. -- SHAN CURRY NOODLES - Rice Noodles, Chicken Tomato Curry, Soft-Boiled Pasture Egg, Ground Peanuts, Pickled Mustard Greens, Sweet Soy, and Chili Crunch...$25 Honestly, I was a little skeptical of this one, but this actually wasn't bad. The chicken was very moist and the sauce had a nice punch, albeit a little heavy on tomato. As for the noodles, there was a good amount of it, but I wish it had more of a chewy bite to it. -- B.F.C. - Burmese Fried Chicken, Sesame Seeds, Sweet Heat...$26 My friend felt like this was a bit Americanized, but I'm not going to lie - I thought this was great! The chicken was still slightly crispy despite the sauce on it and I liked how there was just a touch of heat. Plus, the portion was HUGE! In fact, it was so generous, we couldn't even get close to finish this. -- CHILI-GARLIC PRAWNS - Onions, Arbol Chili, Jalapenos, Thai Basil, Koji Rice, Garlic Chips...$27 While there wasn't anything "bad" about this dish, it was easily my least favorite dish of our meal. The prawns were all plump and meaty, and I liked the garlic chips, but the sauce was underwhelming (not much chili flavor or spice). In addition to the food, service here was pretty spot on, as well. The servers were friendly and responsive, checking on us often to refill our waters and to see if we needed anything. Plus, one of them even paused to make sure we got any photos we wanted of the Tea Leaf Salad before he started to mix it. Besides how awesome it is to see Burma Superstar's success lead to another outpost in their family of restaurants, the other thing I like about this particular Burma Love is their Set Lunch Menu. Starting at $29 (exact price depends on your choices), you get an individual-size portion of their Tea Leaf Salad, choice of a main dish, choice of two sides, and Rice. Perhaps not the cheapest lunch around, but certainly a great way to try several dishes at once! Whether it be for that or just to get some awesome Burmese food in Menlo Park (with easy parking and hardly a wait!), I'll most definitely be back! read more
My family decided to come here for my birthday dinner. We had a reservation so we made it on time. We were seated in a booth with an extra chair as we were five people. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, we were given the menu, water and after giving us time to choose, we ordered for our drinks and appetizers, we had shrimps and tea leaves salad. We ordered lichee Express and Cobra cocktail. We ordered main course, garlic noodles with beef, coconut chicken curry, fried rice and another shrimp dish. The staff served very eloquently one after the other. We ordered tres lichee cake for dessert. The ambience is great, the interiors are cool and modern. I will definitely recommend this place. read more
So this review is a little different than the usual "dining at the restaurant and having a fabulous time" but it's close but better, shows how professionally and with care and detail outside the restaurant too! Back story, I was put as an events chair at our school this year and I was responsible for an annual family dance (adults with children ages ranging from 4-13) at our school. I wanted to do a few things differently and Burma Love fit the general criteria and I'm talking before experiencing the next level awesomeness that followed after the catering banquet order was signed. I wanted to elevate the food for the parents, hopefully open culinary pallets of our younger guests, and Burma Love by its namesake fit our "Groove is in the Heart" and all things love, peace and good vibes theme! So I reached out with a call and was connected to the GM of the establishment...meeting Nur made me feel I was in good hands instantly! Gracious, kind, reassuring, helpful, open and so easy to work with! Ooooh and did I mention also quite generous and patient!? Well those too. Long story short, my God did they deliver to our event literally and figuratively. The food was exceptional, the chef understanding and worked with some of my requests because of the unique crowd. They truly went out of their way to work with my budget, everything like everyyyyyything tasted so good, sometimes things miss the mark because of bulk but not here. So much taste, flavor, freshness, and LOVE in every tray. So, please do consider them for your catering events, big parties in your home, your next school social! Just be warned you may feel guilty getting all the praises. Thank you Nur, your team, and adding to the evening's good vibes!! Menlo/Peninsula area is lucky to have you here and the beauty and thoughtfulness of Burmese food near us to savor and enjoy. If you read all of this, you just be starving now...go show some love to Burma Love. read more

Mother's Day 11:30 reservation seated right away. First time in, the decor is fabulous, very tastefully done, beautiful. Ordered the Tiffin Set Lunch which was delicious, hot, flavorful and nicely plated. We added an order of Shan Noodles which we found to be our favorite! Plenty of food for two or three people. Service at the bar was excellent. Thank you for the upbeat and friendly hospitality, we'll definitely be back! read more

Had a great dinner at Burma Love in Menlo Park! I ordered the lemongrass chicken skewers, coconut rice, and baby bok choy. The chicken was tender and flavorful, but what really stood out was how perfectly it paired with the coconut rice -- such a comforting and delicious combo. The baby bok choy added a nice, fresh balance to the to the plate. Left really full. read more

The rice was ridiculous. It wasn't even rice. It was like flour paste. And the bartender did not even say hi when I walked in not very smart professional. read more

I came here for a Work Holiday Lunch and while I've had Burmese food before I was a little optimistic. Walking inside I was blown away by how beautiful the restaurant is, the decor is just breathtaking. The restaurant is small but packs a punch and they can definitely fit quite a lot of people in there. The staff here is very friendly and professional, they quickly greet you as soon as you walk in, make sure to get you a table in a timely manner and almost immediately a server was there to bring water and take our drink orders. Top notch customer service! The menu wasn't too big but there were a nice variety of items to choose from. Since there were about 7-8 of us we decided to order a bunch of appetizers and small plates to start. We ordered the Laphet Tea Leaf Salad, Roti Platha, Rainbow Spring Roll, Crispy Calamari, Potato Samusas, Dry Fried String Beans and Jasmine Rice. All of this alone could have been the whole meal. My favorites were the potato samusas which were so good. They were cooked nicely, crispy on the outside and the curry potato and veggie filling was so full of flavor. The dry fried strings beans were perfect, they had a nice crisp to them and had a ton of garlic flavor. I also enjoyed the roti platha, the roti was nice and chewy and the curry went perfectly with it. For my main course I went with the Bone-In Short Rib Curry. This came with roasted leeks, fingerling potatoes, cipollini onions and thumbelina carrot. The presentation for this short rib was amazing, it was served alongside the bone. The meat was divine, it was melt in your mouth tender. I have never had short rib that was that tender and full of flavor. The curry was different, definitely not what I expected but it was good and had a nice flavor and went very well with the short rib and the vegetables that accompanied it. This is something that I would definitely order again!! The portion size didn't look too big but it actually was a lot of meat and I still had a lot left over to take home. Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant. Everything from the customer service to the food was amazing, I have no complaints. I will definitely be back! read more

A relatively new Burmese spot with friendly service and a modern, inviting interior. We tried the set lunch, which included a tea leaf salad, two accompaniments (Burmese deviled egg and potato samusa), and the pork belly hung lay as the main dish. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful, with the pork belly being tender and satisfying. We also ordered the roti canai, which was perfectly fluffy and crispy, and the Shan curry noodles, which had a strong tomato base to its curry flavor--unique and flavorful but might not be for everyone. read more
