John wanted to try this place despite the fact that it's located in one of the busiest shopping centers in the area. Luckily it's on the outskirts so we were in and out of the parking lot pretty quickly and easily. The restaurant is quite beautiful inside. Great decor and very clean. We had the place to ourselves. We ordered ourselves on the self-serve touchscreen device. The girl in the front of the counter (who was very nice) seemed to be doing all of the work. There were two guys in the back and I'm not sure what they were doing except walking around and chatting to one another. She prepared the salads, put the meals together and got the drinks. Everything took a bit longer than it should have but a customer kept asking her questions and distracting her. The food came out and everything tasted good. I got the savory noodle salad. John got a mango lassi which he said seemed a bit thin. Everything is served on disposable dishes--even wooden utensils. I'm glad they are not using plastic but it's disappointing to see so many restaurants using disposables when people are dining in. We would definitely come back again.
Final Thoughts: 4.20/5 This place appears comparable to foods that you would find at perhaps a Panda Express. Slight differences to some of the foods and place, however. Note that they provide Burmese bowls/plates/foods. It is giving slightly less casual given the environment itself. It's a full restaurant. With the two experiences I've had so far, definitely will be a 4 stars for me. Food: I've gotten the single plate and double plate here. Bases that I have gotten are: 1) Brown rice 2) Pineapple fried rice 3) Burmese noodles Entrees that I have gotten are: 1) Sesame Chicken: 4.0/5 This is their chicken that is lightly fried and then coated in sauce (soy sauce, vinegar, honey) and the topped with sesame seeds. Nicely sweet, salty, and umami. Sesame adds a nuttiness and some depth. I love the sticky sauce that it's coated in. Chicken is very tender, as well. Personal preference is orange chicken, but this works for me too. 2) Veggie Tofu Curry: 3.5/5 One of their vegetarian dishes that has kabocha squash, coconut milk, evaporated milk, curry power, broccoli, carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger. Hmm...nothing too special about this one, but I like the curry. Veggies are quite soft for me and may be slightly overdone. Good veggie option for me. The tofu is a nice alternative for a protein for me. Some contrast added to my dish. 3) Teriyaki Chicken: 4.0/5 This is their marinated chicken thigh with teriyaki sauce, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and pineapple juice. The chicken is super tender. Good protein for me. It's very straightforward and perhaps a dish that usually doesn't fail me. The sauce is super sticky and coats the chicken very well. 4) Honey Walnut Shrimp: 4.0/5 Friend's entrée that I took a piece of. Pretty standard item. This item does come with an upcharge, so just a note. The shrimps are quite pump. Sauce is good. I like that it's not drowning in the sauce and not super greasy from the mayo. Balance of sweetness saltiness is good for me. Walnuts are candied and adds that additional texture and sweetness to the whole dish. 5) Basil Dried Chili Beef: 3.0/5 This one is alright. Again, another one that I tried from my friend. It's a soft and fairly tender piece of beef. For the seasoning, it feels like a dry rub, which, I'm not too fond of. It is well seasoned though, so perhaps others will like it overall. Not my personal favorite though. --------- Quality: Fair Their quality is quite good. Honestly, it can be comparable to place like Panda Express, but their foods are really good. Very flavorful. A lot of it is simple foods like teriyaki chicken or veggie tofu curry. I've tried a few of their entrees already and they have all been fairly good. Price: Affordable It really does give fast food vibes. The food and meals itself are super affordable. For perspective: 1) Single plate: ~$12 + tax 2) Double plate: ~$15 + tax 3) Triple plate: ~$17 + tax They sell plates (entrees+bases), salads, bowls, single portions, etc.). The ranges will be around $12 to $17 + tax, which appears to be fairly priced for what we get. The portions are nice too and would be a nice place for a quick and simple meal. Service: Limited, but always sweet interactions There are 3 kiosks in the front where you can order. They will also help you and you can order from them if you need. Our interactions have always been limited because we just order and then get our foods, but they have been really sweet to us when we get the foods. They will also come around and occasionally check on us, which is really nice. I've been here twice now and I haven't had an issue yet. I see their interactions with other customers as well and this seems to be them at baseline. Ambiance: Casual Dining This place isn't your average fast food place, but it is more casual of a dining experience. We order first, get our foods, grab the water and utensils on the side and then go sit down and eat. If you want a simple dining spot or just a quick meal to-go, this could be a good option for you. Location/Parking: Large Space The plaza itself is fairly large. There's a TJ Maxx in this plaza and other food places, shops, restaurants, etc. I can't see parking being an issue given the size of this area. We've been able to get a spot near the restaurant too for each of the times we've been here, so doesn't seem to be a concern.
*** USP: Burmese panda express. They also have the popular Burmese tea leaf salad. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. But one should expect some of the items to be sitting around for some time. ***AMBIANCE: bright, high ceiling, clean. Self service kiosks are available. They have displays showing the order status as well. ***FOOD: quality of the food is way better than panda express without being overly expensive. We tried the pineapple fried rice, Burmese noodles, mint jalapeno chicken and pepper chicken. The chicken had a delicate cut and was tender without being overly cooked. The flavors are on the milder side. Quantities are generous. Overall this is going to get on my monthly rotation given its proximity to our regular Costco location. On a side note the one plate entree was served in a plastic container while the two plate entree came in a paper container. I wish they offer greener alternatives for all options on the menu.
When I think about Burmese food, fish chowder came to my mind immediately, but this place does not have it. They offer low-cost fast food like Panda Express, with a slight Burmese element. So 3 star for food, 4 star for restroom and the clean ambiance, also a 3 star for the service. This place is just bad at inventory management, probably with a heavy stress on cost savings. Came at 6:45 and it took forever to get to a kiosk to order even they have 3 out there. I noticed there's a cashier station but no staff offered to come take our orders. After you place the order on the kiosk, make sure you remember your order number as that's what they call you upon. Best value item is their milk tea, only $3.5 and taste good. No boba inside but has the right amount of tea flavor and not overly sweet. After placing the order, I wandered to their food display area and was quite shocked to see most items were already out or at the bottom of the tray. We ordered 2 items, one with 3 mains and one with 2 mains. We waited a good 20-25 minutes for them to pack up our order because they had to cook a new batch of Burmese shrimp. If I came at 8:30, I understand that all is left are probably scraps. But at prime dinner time of 7, how could most items be out? The tofu eggplant was horribly oily, we also ordered mango chicken (not bad), black pepper beef (couldn't tell it's beef), sesame chicken (average, nothing to write home about), Burmese shrimp (the most flavorful item we ordered), pineapple rice and Burmese noodles. I tasted sweetness in the noodle while my kid complained it was spicy. They have a loyalty system, each dollar of spending is worth a point. After earning 1000 points, you can redeem a garlic noodle with costs 10 bucks if you buy.
The inside is so cute, clean, and modern! There's plenty of seating, and they have an open food line so you can watch them make the salads or build your bowl. The staff is super friendly and helpful. When I asked about vegan food options, they mentioned that only the salads are vegan and recommended the tea leaf salad, so I went with that. The tea leaf salad was delicious! I appreciate when a non-vegan restaurant offers vegan options, but I wish they offered a vegan protein, like grilled tofu, to make the salad more of a complete meal. Or maybe even something in the hot food section.
Great food, but a few small hiccups with the service and wait. I'll give them benefit of the doubt since they just opened and are working out the kinks. We stopped by Tleaf Green in and took our order to go. It has a very nicely lit, modern, and lively atmosphere. You order at the counter and they prepare it for you. Like Panda Express style. Our dish was a Kitchen Plate with Burmese Noodles, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Black Pepper Chicken: Loved it! The flavor was great, though the portion size wasn't the biggest, but still decent for a meal. I tried to substitute lettuce for one of the starches, but they declined. Go figure. The staff was super friendly, but it did take about 10 minutes to get my order. That felt like a bit of a long wait considering it is a Panda Express style counter ordering setup. But like I said, it's brand new. If you are in the area and looking for some Burmese food with good flavor, it is worth trying out.
My family and I had a great time dining here for a late lunch! It was pretty empty when we arrived on a Saturday around 4 pm. You can either order with their self service kiosks or order at the front! My mom was hesitant since she never tried Burmese food before. The wait was about 10 minutes since they cook the food fresh. We got: - Burmese Fried Chicken + half fried rice + half noodles single plate = great chicken! Crunchy with lots of other items like pineapple, mango, and cucumber! So much fresh flavor. - Sesame Chicken + noodles single plate = the sesame chicken is soooo good! Crunchy and crispy and great coating. - garlic noodles = savory and smooth noodles with a great garlic taste that wasn't overpowering whatsoever. Great dining experience and my family would definitely come here again!
Quite disappointed with our food experience here. The food is cold, portions are not consistent, from some pictures the portions are more but with our orders tonight, portions were small. We ate in so we expected the food to be warm and not cold! The Burmese shrimps were tasty, the eggplant with tofu were dry. The noodles and the pineapple rice need more flavor. The beef with string beans was also tasty. The mango chicken had mostly onions and less chicken pieces. Overall, consistency in portions, and food temperature should be maintained. The food warmers don't look like they were turned on. Looks like food will be warm if they just got done cooking. Our food evidently has been sitting in their cold food trays. The place was clean and nice! This is fast food Burmese Chinese food.
Outstanding in every single way: food, service, ambiance. Food was a good portion but still high quality's black pepper chicken and mango chicken delish, as was the curry. My toddlers and husband enjoyed this place. Seating was comfortable. Place is spacious and clean. Service was friendly and generous, as they offered us a sample! I would definitely come here again, especially since it's right by Costco! I can't think of a better fast casual place in the area.
This was my very first time checking out TLeafGreen, and I wish I discovered it sooner! The entire space is super modern, pristine, and clean. I love that they let you sample dishes before deciding what to order! They offer a huge variety on the menu, ranging from fresh salads to hot favorites like basil dried chili beef, honey walnut shrimp, and sesame chicken. The Bay Area really needs more healthy, fast-casual spots serving fresh food like this. I got the Burmese Chicken Salad, which was packed with unique, vibrant flavor. The crunch in every single bite made it so satisfying to eat! The staff members were extremely sweet and welcoming throughout my visit. The only tiny hitch was that my name was not taken during the order, so I had to walk back up to the counter to check on my food after waiting a bit, but the team resolved it quickly. I will definitely be back with friends to try more of their dishes!
Very fresh and flavorful + refreshing food that doesn't make you feel greased out after eating. My boyfriend I got the triple plate with burmese shrimp, mint jalapeño chicken, and basil beef. These three were probably our favorite 3 entrees that we got. Each was so flavorful but unique and didn't all taste the same. Also got the single plate with just the string bean beef and pineapple fried rice. This was solid too but not as much of a pun h as the other proteins. We tried their signature tea leaf salad along with the burmese chicken salad. I really enjoyed the sweat and sour flavor of the burmese chicken salad, and the tea leaf salad was super crunchy and nutty. I am not the biggest fan of nuts so that one wasn't my favorite. For drinks, we got the mango lassi and burmese milk tea. The mango lassi was super strong on the yogurt which I wasn't used to but it grew on me. Burmese milk tea was delish; reminds me of HK milk tea. It's a "fast food" concept like panda express but the food is a lot more fresh. They are constantly cooking it to refill. All the workers were so nice :) The place was nicely lit up and super clean. Will be back! Overall: 4.1/5
We had been happy with satisfying our Burmese food cravings at TleafGreen a couple times since it opened and never had any problems until this month. We ordered the family meal and normally ordered one each of the garlic and Burmese noodles but this time, the cashier said garlic noodles were no longer included. Sign posted above clearly still showed it was an option but he refused saying the change was just made. They need to fix their signs. The next issue was the amount of food they placed inside the large family meal containers. It varied quite a bit this time. The eggplant and tofu dish was the worst example that was barely half filled and you could see the bottom of the container. Next time we'll need to monitor the packing. The last issue was the inconsistency in taste. The Burmese noodles were quite bland this time like there was a lack of seasoning. In contrast, we also ordered the tea leaf for the first time and their version was generously packed with dressing and crunchy toppings we mixed together on our own. Hopefully this was just a one off event.
*Vegetarian Foodie Review* I took my family and friends to this restaurant. It's fairly new. Here's what we ordered: 1) Golden Mango Salad: 5/5: Must try! The best mango salad I have ever had at any Asian or Burmese restaurants. It was made fresh and the portion size was quite good. 2) Double Plate Entree: 5/5: For the base I did Burmese noodles, and my two entrees were Kabocha tofu curry and Eggplant & tofu garlic. So flavorful and fresh -- hands down the best combination ever. 3) Little Greens Plate: 5/5: for my 5 year old. Ordered one side as Burmese noodles and the entree as Kabocha tofu curry. For the drink that comes with the dish, my kid chose the mango lassi and it was heavenly. She finished all her food. My only note is that I wish the veggies in the tofu curry were cut a little smaller as they were too big to eat in one go, so I had to cut them into smaller bites for her. The ambiance was very casual and had a nice cozy set up. You could call it a Panda Express type of setup, but its basically Burmese fast food. They have another branch in Fremont, Burma Bay Cafe, which bas been popular for a while. I have been to that one before which is family style. I am loving this newer spot with the fast-food kind of vibe, which is super casual and basically a subset of the Burma Bay Cafe menu. Service was fast -- only the salad took a while, but that made sense since they were making it fresh. Definitely coming back to try other dishes, especially the huge variety of salad items on the menu.

The combo is a great deal. Food taste is good value for what you pay for. However do not order the la carte. I ordered a large size entree and a small one and I was charged almost $5 more. Please see the size for comparison. The large is the one on the right and small on the left. It's a scam!!!!! read more

Workers were very helpful and suggested to sample items first. Food is flavorful but too many onions in the mango chicken, it was half onions. Dry curry beef was very good but string beans weren't cooked enough which is a shame since the dish is otherwise amazing. That's enough for me to not order it again unless I knew for sure the beans were fully cooked. There is a little bit of a kick in the Burmese chicken salad and Burmese noodles but I'd get it again and maybe ask for mild dressing in the salad. Will go back and try other items. 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

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
