Celebrated a birthday here and had such a great time. The vibe at Teakwood is warm, lively, and perfect for a group dinner. The tea leaf salad was a standout with the tableside prep, and we also loved the buttery roti palata, the star was the plancha calamari...Love! Perfectly cooked steak, and whole branzino. Everything felt flavorful and well done, from the calamari to the noodles, and even the ginger honey tea was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive all night...Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Great food & drinks. We had happy hour & shared the eggplant dish w/a side of coconut rice.

AGED DUCK CURRY
Steven S.

I had a pretty awesome dinner here. The duck curry and the rice was amazing. I can still taste the soy sauce. The service was very friendly and very attentive to my wishes. The ambiance of the restaurant was great too. ! I highly recommend this restaurant. I wish I could give them 100 stars !

The bar area of Teakwood

Teakwood must be one of the " in " restaurants in Hayes Valley. Very busy place! Just a block or so from the SF Symphony, Opéra, Ballet, etc (the performing arts epicenter), the restaurant serves contemporary Burmese food and is owned by Burma Love group. The night a companion and I went to Teakwood, it was pouring rain, yet once inside we were transported to Southeast Asia - a cosy space. There is a beautiful bar opposite the entrance that was filled with happy customers. Big windows along Grove & Gough Streets, let in natural light. I asked to be seated in the better lit main dining room. What did we eat? We wanted a few light dishes. The waiter was very nice and didn't rush us or press us to order more. We started with a calamari appetizer dish which was delicious albeit a little spicy for me. The portion was small. For some meat, we wanted to try the chicken satay skewers. I was intrigued by the finely chopped veg - a sort of pickle de gallo. The last course, we ordered the Burmese national dish: Mohinga Rice Noodle. Wonderful soup - full of flavor from the spices used. The noodles, however, were too soft being overcooked that you didn't need teeth to eat them. These three dishes made us satisfied since we're not big eaters (we don't want to sleep through our post meal entertainment). Overall, Teakwood is a very trendy restaurant in the hip Hayes Valley neighborhood. It's different from the other neighborhood eateries (Italian, French, European or Japanese). Burmese restaurants can get pretty pricey - due to the rare ingredients. But for these unique flavors we were happy to pay $$$! Will I be returning to Teakwood? You bet. I have to try some of the other wonderful dishes on the menu &, maybe, a cocktail too!

The interior
Elma C.

The good: 1. At least 4 booths for comfortable seating instead of elbow-to-elbow-no conversation possible tables 2. Tofu and shrimp options 3. Attentive, menu-savvy staff The question mark: 1. No ice offered (I personally dislike room temperature water) 2. Tofu dish mostly made of onion and bell peppers (I wanted protein) 3. Generous rice portions (I prefer less rice more protein) 4. Below average side salad (all I could taste was great cherry tomatoes and peanuts). I wanted to taste their famous tea leaf dressing and dried shrimp but the salad was watery to say the least 5. Samosas were DRY overall food impression: meh

COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY
Jamee S.

This is a fabulous and beautiful place to go before or after a show. Service was lovely with a smile. Matt was our server. We were able to catch some happy hour specials. We ordered a few drinks which were all delish! I had the Lychee Express which may look and sound like your run of the mill "lychee martini," but this one is a total upgrade - handcrafted with love. It's delicate and delicious. We ordered: Roti Platha - two of them because, yes, it's that good! The dipping sauce is pure gold!! And the roti is crisp, not soggy. Tea Leaf Salad - bomb! Always bomb! Again, it's a step up from other tea leaf salads I've ever had at any Burmese restaurant. Garlic Noodles with tofu - good! Lemongrass Steak - plated different but still very good! Lots of flavor and cooked medium rare. Chicken Satay - tender flavorful chicken Hen of the Wood - my favorite! I love this dish and they do it well! For dessert: Mango Sticky Rice - plated differently from when I was there last. Still delicious. Thai Tea Chocolate Mousse Cake - decadent yet not too rich. Great Thai tea flavor. That ice cream is mind blowing. Amazingly rich chocolate flavor! Will always come back if I'm in the area.

Pork belly rice bowl
Qinnan L.

We came for Saturday lunch and there was lots of seating. Nice restaurant setting and fast service but food was disappointing for the price. We ordered the duck curry and pork belly rice bowl dishes. Unfortunately the duck rice bowl only came with a few pieces of slightly over cooked duck. The braised pork belly was tender and fatty - the first few bites were really good but it had so much sauce that it was hard to finish

My daughter had her civil wedding at City Hall and chose this place for her reception. Two friends sent us complimentary champagnes to celebrate the occasion. The Platha with peanut sauce was divine. The ginger salad was too strong for me. The chicken satay was too tough. The coconut chicken curry was good. Less chicken, a lot of curry which I don't mind because I love curry. Superstar fried rice. $29? I can't recall how it tasted. Eggplant with garlic sauce, ok. Garlic noodles with fried tofu, yum. Lemongrass steak, delish. We got there on time to make 3 happy hour prices. Staff was graceful and helpful. Lovely service. Overall, the food was just so-so for me. But it was a beautiful reception which was the most important thing.

COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY
Shivangi K.

Highlights were definitely the coconut chicken curry and fiery tofu! I couldn't stop eating the tofu it was sooo yum :) Garlic noodles were good but portion size was a little smaller than expected. They had 50% of drinks for happy hour when we went so it went from $18 to $9 which was worth it. The vibes are on the nicer side so perfect for a birthday dinner or date night :)

GARLIC NOODLES
Amber G.

We ordered the samosas, coconut chicken curry, the short rib Khao soi, garlic noodles, and Bok choy, and I will say everything we ordered had an excellent flavor. I would say for me personally the coconut rice side for curry was too sweet and some dishes too salty. Everything was very tasty and our group enjoyed every dish but I will say the protein portions within the dishes are minimal for family style. Otherwise I would say 5 stars! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Indian Samusas (2pc)
Cristal F.

Made a reservation on their website the same day for a group of 4 without a problem. There is street parking or you can park in a parking garage across the street from the restaurant; but since it's such a busy area, I would advise one take public transportation or rideshare. The interior looks clean and modern, yet still cozy. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes and beverages. Service was great, no complaints. This would be a good spot for a date night or small group gathering. I will definitely come back another time

Lisa X.

Came back a few times with colleagues and also by myself. One time for a lunch meeting we shared more dishes. Food is better. Really like the lemongrass steak. Service continues to be great even when there was only one server one time. He was apologetic but took care of us/me. Nice addition to Hayes Valley.

Marlon T.

Teakwood is in a great spot right in Hayes Valley which is super convenient if you're catching a show nearby. The space itself is beautiful and has a nice atmosphere, but it definitely feels like you're paying more for the vibe and location than the food. The dishes looked great but were a bit lacking in flavor for me. I actually enjoyed the cocktails more than the meal. Would skip the tea leaf salad (it tastes pretty different from the ones at other Burma Love locations) and the short rib khao soi. The garlic noodles are probably a better bet.

Is there outdoor dining or is it dog friendly?

I didn't see outdoor dining. I don't know if they accept dogs. Need to call the restaurant for the dog policy directly.

Is this restaurant baby/kid friendly?

Not really. It is posh with a great bar. I wouldn't bring my kids there.

Everything was amazing. Tea leaf salad, coconut rice, rainbow salad, basil chicken- all 5 star!…read moreService was great!

It's been a while since the last time we've come to Burma Superstar, but we saw the restaurant week…read moremenu and decided it was about time to come back! This time it was a $90 set with 2 drinks, 2 servings of rice of your choice, a trio of their salads, and 2 entrees - honestly a great deal and I think the waitstaff mentioned it's about a $150 value, which I completely believe. Our party of 4 arrived around 8:15, and waited about 15 minutes to get seated - definitely try to join the ahead of time because they saved us! It's cozy, clean and well decorated inside, and though the tables are a little close you have plenty of space and it's not too loud for conversations. We got two sets of the $90 menu - which was probably a mistake since we were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers. Drinks: we got 4 different drinks - the mango Lassi, spiced sunset, nanda breeze and burma cooler. All of these were excellent, refreshing and great for balancing the strong flavors of the entrees! Rice: we always get the coconut rice, so this time we opted for 2 scoops of coconut rice and 2 scoops of the burmese fried rice - the fried rice was tasty but not as fragrant as the coconut rice so we'll probably stick to that in the future Salad trio: this included the iconic tea leaf salad, along with the pea shoot salad, and superstar noodle salad. The pea shoot salad was a surprising favorite, and I'd even consider getting that over the tea leaf salad in the future! The noodle salad was pretty filling but tasty - maybe good if you're not planning to get a bunch of entrees On to the entrees: these are all super flavorful, umami, and can get a little heavy if you don't balance it out with the rice and salads. We got the pazun kyaw (chili prawns), nga phel hin (a sort of fish patty in tomato curry sauce with fresh cucumber slices), chili lamb, and basil chili pork belly. The chili lamb was a standout - super tender, flavorful and our overall favorite. The basil chili pork belly is a close second, but a bit oilier and heavier. The nga phel hin was tasty but a little too heavy /salty - slightly helped by the cucumber but there were only 4 slices with the dish. The chili prawns had great flavor but unfortunately were a little overcooked. Overall, this was an excellent meal! Burma Superstar never fails to be a great place for a large, flavorful family style dinner. I'm glad we got to try multiple new things from the menu through the restaurant week offer, and I'll be able to switch up my typical order in the future based on what we tried this time!

The service here is exponentially better, the staff is super friendly, incredibly attentive, and they make everyone feel very welcomed. The food on the other hand just is not great. Yes this place is always packed apparently, and it may be out of convenience. I found that everything that we ordered with the exception of the coconut rice fell flat. This is one of those moments that hurt your heart because I want to give them huge accolades, but it's just not there. We ordered the platha. It was tasty, but it also did not taste super fresh. The dipping sauce that it comes with (opted for chicken) and kept digging around the small bowl to find pieces of chicken that were nonexistent. The up charge of a dollar for the chicken dipping sauce that did not have chicken in it super disappointing. The sauce was tasty, but definitely not worth the up charge. Our server encouraged us to get the tea salad, which is definitely something. Someone should try if you've never had it before. The mixture of fresh veggies, the light sauce and the herbs, make for a very fresh bite. I would've been thrilled if late shredded chicken could be added to this for a different style dish. It would be super tasty. The salad was good, but not my style, but everyone else enjoyed it. We ordered the beef curry and the coconut rice. I absolutely want to emphasize how incredible the staff is. Their service and attentiveness absolutely should be acknowledged over and over again. The coconut rice at this location is exponentially better than at the other restaurant that we tried. This was a combination of light, fluffy, and absolutely flavorful delicious rice. The beef curry was incredibly disappointing. The beef was well done not done well. It was tough, overly chewy, and the flavor profile was just not good. It was missing something and even the light curry broth that the meat was sitting in well, good wasn't fantastic. The drinks seem pricier here, and the mango lassie, while good, was just OK. It tasted more like watered down mango. For dessert, we tried the black rice. This is definitely worth trying. It's a heavier dessert and probably a bit much after what felt like an uncomfortable dinner. The coconut sauce that it's sitting in is delicious and I can see why so many people enjoy it, and maybe if the strawberries were tastier the combination of all of the flavors may have made a difference. I definitely think it's something worth trying, but maybe elsewhere, or with different items for dinner.

Looking for something quieter, we came across Burmese Kitchen, and I'm so glad we did. We ordered the chicken masala, which was packed with flavor and came in a really generous portion. The biryani rice was also delicious and paired perfectly with everything. I also tried the coconut chicken soup, which was rich, comforting, and full of great flavor. But the standout for me was the signature vegetarian tea leaf salad. It's not your typical leafy green salad--it's unique, flavorful, and honestly one of the most interesting dishes I've tried. I would definitely go back just for that. We also had a great experience with Yumi, the owner's niece, who was incredibly polite and helpful, especially since it was our first time trying Burmese food. If you're in the area and looking for something flavorful and different, I'd definitely recommend stopping by.

We met the owner, Ming, who was welcoming, friendly, and hospitable! Looking over the menu with him, we chose some must-try chef-recommended dishes. He also gave us a dish of shrimp chips to snack on before our meal. ***OUR PICKS*** ROTI PRATHA ~ Flaky, flatbread served with curry dipping sauce. This was yummy! The roti had a crispy and chewy texture all in one. Curry was mild and sweet. 4.5/5 MIE GORENG JAWA ~ Java-style fried noodles with chicken and sweet soy sauce. Flavorful and delicious! Chicken was tender, and noodles were cooked just right. 4.5/5 SAMBAL OKRA AND GREEN BEANS (got a mix of both) ~ Loved this dish! If you want a flavor bomb, this would be it! They make their own sambal too! 5/5 LAKSA ~ rice noodles with shrimp in a coconut-based soup. The broth was soothing and mild. I think if it were spicy and tangy, this dish would shine. However, if you like mild flavors, this one might be for you. Noodles and shrimp were perfectly cooked. 4/5 PEPES SALMON ~ baked salmon fillet, seasoned with mild chili and lemongrass, wrapped in banana leaves. This one came highly recommended by Ming. He wasn't wrong! The salmon was so tender that it melts in your mouth. It was excellent and tasty!! If you like salmon, this is the dish to get! 5/5 GINGER RICE ~ Ming comped us ginger rice to go with our meal. I don't think I've ever had ginger rice this good! SO flavorful, yet not too greasy or salty like some others. I could eat just the rice and be happy!! 5/5 Everything we ordered was well-balanced and prepared wonderfully. We enjoyed our meal at Lime Tree and Ming's warm company throughout our lunch! I'm regretting not coming here sooner! We'll definitely be back!
