    Shan Noodle
    Eva S.

    I met my friends here for an early lunch on Saturday. They suggested Burma o'clock and I was really excited to try Burmese food. We sat at a table by the window and started with some tea. What we shared (3 people): + Burmese Fritters + Tea Leaf Salad + Burmese Mashed Potatoes + Burmese Chicken Curry with paratha + Shan Noodle with chicken The food was made to order and the ingredients were very fresh. Their iced water had the taste of fresh lemon, a little detail I really enjoyed. For the Burmese fritters, the most interesting items to me were the watercress and their housemade tofu. I've never had watercress that was breaded and fried before! Their tofu (I recall) contained chickpeas in it, and was really delicate and gently fried in the batter. The ingredient:batter ratio was perfect. They even had corn fritters. This was a fun appetizer to share with a group. The tea leaf salad was so unique and the flavors were very subtle. If you like a spicy thai papaya salad, this dish is like its milder, tamer cousin; it has a great texture with the crunch of the seeds/peanuts. My favorite was the Burmese chicken curry served with a side of paratha. The sauce was very flavorful and the chicken was tender. The flavors really highlight the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Nothing was overly spicy or sour or tangy; the food was harmonious. Service was a little slower during the lunch rush with only one server, but it was not a big deal. Burma o'clock is a lovely, cozy restaurant serving very fresh dishes and the service was kind and welcoming. I would love to come back and try other items on the menu like their fish chowder soup, garlic noodles, and watercress salad. A glowing 4 stars!

    Pickled mango curry
    Christine L.

    Stopped by for dinner before heading to a show at the McAninch Arts Center at COD. Service was perfect, our water have us some suggestions. One was totally not in our radar but was our favorite dish of the evening! We had the tea leaf salad, chicken noodle salad, and the standout pickled mango curry. The salads were decent, and we would definitely come back for the pickled mango curry which didn't taste pickled or mango-y but was just absolute deliciousness. There is street parking in the area, had to park off the main street as it was a busy Friday evening. The restaurant has nice vibes, good as a nice place to catch up with old friends or maybe for like a date night. Highly recommend!

    We came here on a Wednesday night. It wasn't busy, and the restaurant had plenty of tables. The place is clean and nicely decorated. We ordered the fried tofu, Burmese mashed potatoes, Shan noodles with chicken, and fish chowder soup. The fried tofu was something different. They made it with chickpea flour. The mashed potatoes are like mashed potatoes with hot chili oil on it. The fish chowder soup was good. The soup was super tasty with the noodles. The shan noodles were chewy with a lighter taste if you add the soup to them. If you eat it dry with the sauce, it has a stronger taste. Service was good. The staff came back a few times to see if you needed anything else. I would go back to try other dishes on the menu.

    We came here after Bonita Bowls. You can find free street parking at night in front of the restaurant as well as the parking garage across the street. I like this place more than Pa Lian because the hours are a lot better. 9 pm is the sweet spot for almost everyday. There were plenty of seating, there were only two other tables besides us. We ordered fried tofu, Burmese mashed potatoes, shan noodle with chicken, and fish chowder soup. Service was attentive but I think he could have cleared our dishes at the end. Prices were fair. Overall, it's a solid 4. -fried tofu 3.5 - without the sauce, the fried tofu has no taste. However, I did like how crispy the outside texture was. -Burmese mashed potatoes 4 - the mashed potatoes taste good when you add some of the chili oil to it. Without the chili oil, it's not bad. -shan noodle with chicken 5 - this is the star of the show. There's a cup of broth that you get with it. You can eat the noodles without the broth. The tomato flavor is more bold, but if you add the broth in the noodles the flavor is more even. You can do it with or without. I added the broth in. I liked how chewy the noodles were. There was a good amount of minced chicken and the ground peanuts added more texture. -fish chowder soup 5 - the broth is more subtle than the shan noodle. You have different toppings to add in. The soup is still good especially on a cold day,

    Cute restaurant with good food and service. Burmese food is similar to Thai food, but less sweet and stronger Indian influences. Hot tea $3 - You get a whole pot of tea and refill on hot water. Burmese Eggrolls $8 (3) - Mushy on the inside, not one I would order again. Burmese Fried Tofu $8 - I can see why this is a popular appetizer. Great texture, crispy on the outside. Watercress Salad $14 - Unique salad with great flavors. Shan Noodles $18 - Tasty if you're in the mood for noodle soup. Pad kra pao - chicken $17 - Flavorful and delicious. Pad See Ew $17 - Big flat wide noodles cooked with good texture. Only had chicken and green onions, would be nice to have more veggies. Singha Bottle $6.50 Mango sticky rice $8 - Can't go wrong with mango sticky rice for dessert. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2025

    The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated. Food is really tasty, and service very friendly. This used to be a Thai restaurant, and the owner decided to switch to Burmese cuisine last year.

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Olga W.

    We placed a to-go order on a Saturday night and the process was quick and easy. Our order included Samosas, Tea Leaf Salad, Chicken Pad Thai, and Beef Pad Kra Pao. I tried to get Mango Sticky Rice, but they were out, so I went for the Banana Cake -- which was also unavailable. Our food was ready in about 25 minutes and arrived piping hot, which I really appreciated. The Pad Thai was tasty, but I didn't realize it would come without egg or cilantro, which are my favorite parts of the dish, so I'll customize it next time. The Tea Leaf Salad was a standout -- crunchy, slightly spicy, and very filling. Overall, we had a great experience and I'm looking forward to visiting Burma O'Clock in the future.

    Grass Jelly Drink

    Made the almost hour-long drive with my family to try this place because there aren't too many Burmese restaurants and it's part of our background. Samosas: really delicate and packed with potatoes. Didn't feel greasy. Tea leaf salad: not really my jam, but interesting and diverse salty flavors. My parents said there weren't many tea leaves My dad spoke Burmese with our server and got a special order of this fried squash which was really interesting. Chicken noodles. Not as good as my aunt makes and not too much coconut flavor, but it was still really good. Very nice flavors on the chicken, and the soup(sauce) was yummy. Also really nice presentation. Moh hinga fish soup: my parents said they would've wanted more fish flavor. But I can understand if they lessened that flavor to make it more palatable for the average customer. I thought it tasted good, again really nice presentation, too. Loved the grass jelly drink, they make it in house. Also really liked the decor, my parents were geeked and took many pictures around the restaurant.

    Holy crap the food here is amazing. I ordered so many things and they were all delightful. It was a to go order so the service and ambiance I have no idea but frankly the food was so amazing I don't actually care about that stuff.

    Shan Noodle (Chicken)
    Charlie W.

    First time trying Burmese food and there couldn't have been a better place to have it. Food: Shan Noodle was delicious, had a really great sweet savory flavor, it was fresh and perfectly cooked and the sides paired really well (very clean chicken broth and nice pickled mustard greens). Also had the Burmese fried tofu, which they explained was unique because it was made from chickpeas. Really delicious with the side sauce. Interior: Extremely clean, great ambience and environment. Feels like a nicer restaurant while having affordable prices. Staff: The best. The waiter was extremely kind and helpful in introducing Burmese food, he was attentive and made the experience a delight. The owner was very friendly - she's from Burma and is also the chef, and you could tell she's very passionate about sharing her culture through food. Overall: Wish I lived closer because it'd be a regular spot. Great value and wonderful people, highly recommend.

    Great service, tasty and unique items. We were new to Burmese food and our waiter was happy to walk us through the menu. Try the tea salad, it's one-of-kind!

    Grass jelly drinks
    Krista F.

    What a cute little diner! The decorations are lovely and the food is amazing! Get the grass jelly - it's not from a can, they make it at the bar! The server was so polite and told us all about the delicious meal.

We had the tea leaf salad, which had just the right blend of crunch and spice. The samusas were hot and flesh and the flavor of both the mohinga and coconut chicken noodle dish I had were phenomenal.

I'd rate it on par, or even better, than San Francisco's Burmese options. Service was much friendlier here, that's for sure! Tawk was a delightful host...making jokes along with dish recommendations. Sadly, we gobbled up the food before I remembered to take photos. D'oh! I highly recommend the Tea Leaf salad--a Burmese staple and a real treat if you haven't had it before. Very flavorful and just a hint of spice (don't eat the sliced peppers if you're spice-adverse, but we devoured them). We also had Shan Noodles (B8). I also recommend that. A mild to medium spice level and very tasty. Generous portions. Two dishes was enough for two though I wish we had tried the spring rolls or samosas too--we might have had leftovers if we had! The restaurant itself is inviting and clean. They did a good job considering the location in a strip mall. The lighting looks nice, and the textured walls add to the inviting ambience.

As a street food spot that's popular for lunch, you get different offerings here than a lot of your other neighborhood Thai joints. Sat on the outdoor patio so didn't get to see the inside much but I liked our atmosphere and service. Split the papaya salad and the Laab Moo Krob (crispy pork belly salad) with a friend and both were outstanding. From the first crispy bite of the pork belly I was in love with the texture and flavors. We added a side of sticky rice with that which was perfect. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu that day but looks like I'll just have to return as soon as possible.

It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that's easy to come back to again and again. We ordered the Thai coffee, Khao Ka Moo (braised pork over rice), Khao Pad Poo (crab fried rice), and the grilled pork salad. The standout for me was the grilled pork salad. It was incredibly refreshing, with bright sweet-and-sour flavors that really wake up your palate - especially on a hot summer day. The grilled pork added a nice smoky element, making it both light and satisfying. The crab fried rice was another favorite. It's one of those dishes that doesn't try too hard, yet delivers exactly what you want: fluffy rice, delicate egg, sweet crab, and comforting flavors. It's the kind of dish that quietly reassures you that everything is going to be okay - a simple, dependable plate that never disappoints. The braised pork was tender and comforting, and the Thai coffee was a great accompaniment to the meal. Overall, a wonderful local find with welcoming service, tasty food, and a comfortable dining environment. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu
