I've been meaning to write a review for this new spot in the Almaden Plaza and near Blossom Hill Rd. Fun fact: the owners own Burma Bay Cafe in Fremont in case you have been there. A few weeks ago, I attended their Grand Opening celebration and got to try some of their tasty items. Also, I got a cute tote bag and rose. The food was fresh and flavorful. Their tea leaf salad is huge and you are given a generous amount of the tea leaf dressing. I am a fan of their beef with string beans and walnut shrimp. I've been back a few times already and I need to try some of their other items. If you're thinking about what to drink, I would suggest their Burmese Milk Tea. Can't wait to go back again. read more

TleafGreen - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

I recently visited Tleafgreen and had such a great experience. The restaurant was very clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and patient while helping with my order. I really liked how fresh all the ingredients tasted -- you can tell they care about quality and presentation. The bowl was flavorful, healthy, and the drinks were refreshing without being overly sweet. Service was also surprisingly fast even during a busy time, and my order came out accurate and well organized. What stood out the most was the balance between healthy food and good taste. A lot of healthy places can feel bland, but Tleafgreen manages to make everything fresh, colorful, and satisfying. Definitely a great spot for salads, bowls, and refreshing drinks. I'll be coming back again! read more

Ordered dinner via DoorDash on a Saturday evening. A friend highly recommended this restaurant, so I was eager to try it. I ordered the Burmese Chicken Salad and was not disappointed. The chicken had a nice flavor and there was a ton of it! The veggies were fresh and plentiful. My one tiny complaint is the dressing was too spicy, but I mitigated that by dipping each bite in to just a little bit of it. Looking forward to trying their other dishes. read more

Burmese cuisine is my favorite ethnic cuisine and in fact, it was Burmese cuisine that got me started on Yelp. For my 1000th review, I want to say, I love TleafGreen and cannot wait to keep coming back for more and more. I first saw the coming soon sign many weeks ago and have been waiting eagerly for it. Once I found out it opened, I drove straight there and my jaw dropped when I walked in. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the colors just pop and feel comfortable in there. Trust me, eat inside and you'll feel it too. TleafGreen is trying to be like the Panda Express of Burmese cuisine but better, fresher and more flavor. I went all out on my 1st visit and ordered pineapple fried rice with Burmese shrimp, mango chicken, platha, noodle salad and Burmese milk tea. Everything had so much flavor and definitely is a good break from eating normal salads and sandwiches during the week. The dressing for the noodle salad is quite spicy so, I'll ask for a non-spicy dressing next time. It reminds me of a simpler rainbow salad which is a signature salad at several Bay Area Burmese restaurants. In fact, the owners also own Burma Bay Cafe in Fremont and Burma Burma in Dublin. They also plan to open another TleafGreen location in Mountain View later on. When it comes to Burmese cuisine, they have it locked down already. The Burmese shrimp and mango chicken gave me that same feeling when I first tried Burmese food over 20 years ago. It was heavenly and because of Burmese cuisine, I joined Yelp just to write reviews about Burmese food and my favorite spots. The ordering process is quite easy, as you can order on the kiosk tablets or online and I think you can order by pointing as well. The Burmese milk tea is good but it is strong. The pricing is so good and I cannot wait to take many people here to try it out. I can already feel that they will become a hot place and possibly go national one day. It is a very delicious and great experience. Thank you TleafGreen! read more

Great food!! My favorite was the tea salad....of course. Everything was fresh and had the little crunchy country bits inside that make it unique from other salads. The combination plate was good as well. I especially liked the Mint and jalapeño chicken. It was a different dish that I never had. The kabocha/tofu dish. Was OK. I felt it lacked seasoning and was fairly bland. Inside was very clean and brightly lit. It had a good overall vibe. I would definitely come here again. The prices are very reasonable. read more

I'm rounding up from 3.5 stars since they are still in their soft-opening phase and working out all the details. We were pleasantly surprised to see a new Burmese restaurant in this complex, and it looked very inviting from the outside. When you walk in, you place your order at a kiosk. There are signs in front explaining the menu, that they have salads and also combinations. I got the three-item combination so I could try several things. They had at least half a dozen different chicken entrees, hard to choose, but I settled on mango chicken, which was good. I also got the Burmese shrimp, which was delicious. There is an upcharge for shrimp or beef dishes. My final dish choice was the vegetarian tofu and eggplant. It was nice to see that they have three different vegetarian options. They have four different side choices, and I got half pineapple rice and half noodles. This is kind of like the Panda Express model. I was a bit dismayed that the noodles weren't even warm. They did have chunks of veggies. I think they could work more on ensuring that everything on the plate is at the same temperature. It would be nice if the combinations had a veggie or salad option, so you could go a little lower carb. I liked the pineapple rice, though it also wasn't as warm as the entrees, but wasn't lukewarm the way the noodles were. I would definitely come back here again and try different things. This is a nice addition to the area! read more

Today is TleafGreen's soft opening. I have been looking forward to coming here as they were getting ready to open their business. They are located in the Almaden Plaza next to Boudin SF. The spot they are in used to be Blaze Pizza. Their website states that they offer Burmese-inspired bowls made with fresh produce and house-made dressings--ready for dine-in, pickup, delivery, and catering. I decided to have lunch here today. Upon entering the restaurant I was warmly greeted. Since it's there first day, they were running a bit late. An employee told me they would be ready at 11:30am. She let me take pictures of their menu and of the inside. It's really lovely and bright inside. I loved what they did with the inside remodeling. When I returned at 11:30am, I was helped by an employee named Song. She was polite and excited for their soft opening. She explained how to order from the kiosks at the front and then you go to the counter and watch them build it. You can also customize you order at that point. I ordered the Burmese chicken salad for dine in and I ordered the golden mango salad to take home. Also ordered a build your on single plate. I chose Burmese noodles, pineapple fried rice and Burmese shrimp and two samosas. The Burmese chicken salad was so flavorful with their house made dressing. The combination of all the ingredients were so delicious. The dressing has a little quick of heat, which I loved. The Burmese shrimp was my favorite. The sauce on the shrimp is savory and goes perfectly with the Burmese noodles. The pineapple fried rice was also very good. Everything was so fresh. The samosas were also delicious. Perfectly crispy and the filling was so good. I also liked the dipping sauce it came with. The portion sizes are good. They are generous with their proteins. All the ingredients were fresh. They freshly chop all of their produce and cook the other items freshly daily. They also offer Halal, gluten free and vegan bowls/salads and dishes. I spoke with the manager, Brad. He is really friendly. I wish him and the owners all the success with their restaurant. It's so nice to have this new restaurant in Almaden plaza. I will definitely be back, with my husband, for dinner. Thank you Brad, Song and team for your excellent hospitality and customer service. read more

Beyond excited to have such an amazing quick service concept Burmese restaurant in the neighborhood! My partner and I came in for their grand opening, where we were greeted by a gorgeous restaurant, wonderful service, and delicious food. Even with such a large turn out, their staff had huge smiles on their faces and did a fantastic job taking care of everyone. The real star is how delicious everything was AND for such great prices! It's so difficult to find healthy, yummy, and affordable food. TleafGreen knocked all of those out of the park. I can't recommend this place enough. We can't wait to come back and to continue to support! read more

I wanted to love this more than I did. Burmese food is a special thing and I'm glad they opened to share these flavors with our community. The pineapple fried rice - felt lacking, missing robust flavors. It was good but did not stand out Dried basil chili beef - the portion was more onions than beef, but was a decent portion and had robust flavors! The peppery flavors stood out and great to mix the sauce with the other sides The honey walnut shrimp was acceptable - nothing too exciting but hits the craving The tea leaf salad was quite special! This is what we came for and they loaded the salad with a bunch of crunchy bits. The fermented tea leaves was plentiful as well. The only challenge was getting a good stir to get those tea leaves all over the salad greens. The Burmese milk tea was oddly warm even with a full cup of ice. I would consider skipping this next time. read more

After a long wait, this neighborhood restaurant finally had its soft opening this week. My wife and I decided to give it a try, even though the manager, John, mentioned they were still getting everything in place ahead of their grand opening on Saturday. Our first impression was very positive--the space is bright, inviting, and clean, with a tasteful color palette and an open kitchen that adds to the experience. We were greeted by Song, who checked in on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was going well. Service overall was excellent. Although they offer self-service kiosks, we chose to order at the counter. We tried the jalapeño chicken, kabocha curry with brown rice, and their signature Teslas salad. All three dishes were flavorful and came in generous portions. This neighborhood has been in need of good dining options that don't break the bank, and this place seems like a great addition. I hope they do well and are here to stay. read more

It was nice to try out a new Burmese eatery in the area! I first noticed the space, very clean with lots of seating inside. I ordered 2 double plates and a noodle salad. Their model kind of reminds me of Panda Express in which you can pick a certain amount of entrees. The portions weren't too bad, just wished they gave a bit more of the mango chicken and honey walnut shrimp (especially since it costs extra). The salad dressing was a bit spicy but overall everything tasted good! read more

First time coming to the restaurant, I had the Golden Mango Salad and chicken with Lychee dressing it was delicious. I also ordered the Palata that didn't disappoint either. It reminded me of something made back home. I'll be back soon My friend had the Mint Jalapeno Chicken that was delicious too. Definitely going to order it next time read more

Tleafgreen serves delicious food with great flavor and fresh ingredients. The dishes come out quickly, the portions are good, and the staff is friendly. A great spot for tasty Burmese food and quick service! read more

I love Burmese food but this was pretty bad. I got the plata and the mango chicken with pineapple fried rice. None of it was good. None. The plata was very doughy and undercooked. The other items were just.....below average. They opened near my house so I wanted to give them a shot but no....I'm not coming back. I had to ditch the food with no flavor and just have cereal for dinner, what a waste. read more

I had a really frustrating experience with Tea Leaf Green. Before placing my DoorDash order, I called to ask a simple question about the Burmese milk tea, specifically what's in it and whether it's served hot or cold. The staff member told me it was cold, which is fine, but then said it's made with "Thai tea and milk tea," which doesn't make any sense. Burmese milk tea is typically made from a single type of tea leaf, not a mix like that. I also asked about hot sauce, and she told me they were making fresh hot sauce and that it was a chili paste. Based on that, I decided to go ahead with my order. Later, after waiting a long time, I called back to check the ETA, and a manager answered. She told me that everything the previous staff member said was incorrect. There was no fresh hot sauce, and the Burmese milk tea is actually made with black tea, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Completely different from what I was told earlier. I understand they're a new restaurant and training staff, but giving out completely wrong information is not okay. It would have been better to just ask someone who knew the correct answers instead of guessing and misleading customers. To make things worse, my order had already been sitting out for about 10 minutes by the time I called, and overall this has been one of the slowest DoorDash experiences I've had. This whole situation was off-putting and left a bad impression. I can't speak for the in-person experience, but based on this, I wouldn't rush to order from here again. read more

Half and DONE forever. I ate only half my order - so tasteless - like eating in a Burmese hospital. Low on salt, noodles had ZERO flavor. Other positive reviews must be paid for or folks with inactive tastebuds. Try Burma Taste down the street for way better quality. read more

Good food, but make sure you have everything you ordered before leaving. Last time I came here they gave me my order without a serving of salmon that I paid for. The receipt had it in there and everything else was crossed out except for the salmon. Not sure how that slipped through the cracks. It was pretty disappointing to get home and discover my wife's order wasn't all there. Edit: I came back the next day and it happened again! This time I checked before leaving and they were happy to correct the mistake when I brought it up. Food taste great over here read more

I Finally had time to stop by and try it out after receiving many recommendations from family & friends who have tried it out and may I say I wasn't disappointed at all!! I usually don't like salad dressings but decided to be open in trying the golden mango salad and I added chicken, I would definitely be ordering again. To start it was absolutely incredible, bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The pickled mango paired beautifully with the crisp cucumber, red onion, and fresh cilantro, while the fried garlic and onion added amazing textures. To top off the chicken adding a bit a protein with a perfectly served portion as well that surprisingly filled me up! The yellow bean powder gave it a savory, nutty flavor that made the whole dish unforgettable and tied everything together. Every bite had layers of flavor and texture. Super fresh, bold, and addictive. Easily a 5-star dish. read more

TleafGreen - Golden Mango Salad - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

My first time going here. I didn't know what to order. So I asked for help, but the dude at the counter didn't want to help. Just told me to look at the menu. So I went to the tablet to order. I ordered, but the table had an error and I couldn't order. So I asked for help again. And the same dude didn't help. At this point I just gave up and walked out. Smdh. Only if they explained to me what the food was. But than again the people worked there aren't Burmese or Asian. But theu are selling Burmese Food. Yeah OK! I went somewhere else. What a waste of a trip going to this place. Buyer BEWARE! read more

Haven't even eaten yet but they are helllaaaa nice! Service is already fire, I had to leave a review... and I rarely feel the need to, they are just that wonderful. So far their milk tea has a buttery element! read more

Good selection and very good price! Nice clean dining area! Order took too long, they're not using the chowbus system correctly! Better off using McD or Taco Bell system. Definitely need an expediter to organize food prep and service. Subtract 2 stars because of this. read more

Delicious Asian foods with fresh ingredients. Reasonable price. Clean tables and seats. Will go there again.

I really like Burmese food and was excitedly waiting for the opening. Today I got the chance to stop by at lunch time and was pleasantly surprised with how modern and aesthetically pleasing the seating area looks. I opted to order from the electronic menu. They have all the staples and some more . I had hard time deciding between the refreshing salads and their plate entrees. Since I was feeling hungry I decided to order their 2 entree plate. I choose a combination of their pineapple fried rice and Burmese noodles for the base. For my main, I choose Jalapeño chicken and mango chicken. The food was ready in less than 10 mins and every thing tasted fresh , delicious and like homemade. The portion sizes are generous and very satisfying. For a fast food price you get a very high quality meal and I definitely am going to be a repeated customer. Bonus point they serve Halal meat. A very nice and much needed addition to the neighborhood food scene. Highly recommended! read more

A very clean, helpful, and friendly environment. I went for their grand opening and my experience was amazing. Despite being very busy they took the time to answer my questions and give me their recommendations which was very helpful since they had so many good looking options. I did have to wait a minute for my order but I didn't mind, they were busy and they're a brand new business so I was happy to wait. The staff was very apologetic for making me wait and gave me a couple of free sample dishes with my order as an apology (which wasn't necessary but I enjoyed it nonetheless!). Evelyn was in charge of getting all the orders together and was so sweet and kind to everyone. The staff went above and beyond despite being so busy and the food was amazing, and very fresh. I hope to come back soon! read more

I have been on a low FODMAP diet and am veggie forward and was glad that there were flavorful food options that met my dietary restrictions and the enjoyment of others as it is hard to have to limit onions, mushrooms, garlic, soy (although you can have 1 cup firm tofu), dairy, wheat, honey, agave, beans, certain nuts, fructose and more while being veg forward. I was able to order the gluten free and vegan Tea Leaf salad without green cabbage (but I don't think it is savoy cabbage so you can have 1 serving) and without fried garlic in the nut mix and the tea leaf dressing which has garlic on the side so I just used a spoonful, which is a slight cheat, but I could have ordered the ginger dressing if I wanted to go 100% garlic free. The lady was so nice to customize for me during their super busy grand opening. There are lots of options with 8 salads and 1 noodle and 7 chicken, 3 beef, 3 vegetarian, 2 shrimp. They also have gluten free garlic free pineapple rice which has peas in low FODMAP portion, brown rice, and jasmine rice. All the vegetarian entrees have garlic, but the super carrot broccoli and can be made without garlic and the green cabbage is low FODMAP at a 1 serving size. Not sure if the other two can, but I tried them both anyway along with the high FODMAP honey walnut shrimp. Service was excellent. The staff asked how our food was and the owner gave me his business card for the sit down Burma Cafe in Fremont where everything could be cooked to order, so I don't have to cheat on my diet and I could request the catering menu for my singles group. My friend mentioned the food tasted healthier and better quality than Panda Express and also reasonably priced. They have sustainable compostable wood flatware and food containers. The grand opening giveway was pretty generous and you get another $10 off if you download the app so I will definitely be back. hopefully when my diet is less restrictive. My friend noticed that the meat (chicken and beef) were halal as he is a practicing Muslim and my other friends also got sesame, Burmese and mango chicken and ordered another two plates to take home. read more
