We enjoyed our dinner at Burma Berkeley on 8/9/26! Though this was our first time at Burma…read moreBerkeley, we recalled dining at this location when it was a different Burmese restaurant. We started off with the tea leaf salad, which was tasty and healthy. It's fun watching the server mix the ingredients. Two people in our party shared the samosas. For our entrees, we had the mango shrimp, Burmese pad Thai with tofu , and a chicken dish. We also got a side of coconut rice. Mango shrimp and Burmese pad Thai were delicious and I appreciated that they were able to do mild spice for the shrimp. Coconut rice soaked up the mango sauce and is a must get anytime I have Burmese food. Restaurant was quiet when we arrived a little before 7pm but then got a bit busier. Server was friendly and the food arrived quickly. Would go back to Burma Berkeley for sure!

It's packed with grilled chicken, rice, fresh vegetables, and you can even add an egg for some extra protein. It checks all the boxes for a meal that's filling, nutritious, and still full of flavor. The service has consistently been friendly and efficient, even during busier times. My food has always come out quickly, and the staff has been welcoming whenever I've stopped by. The restaurant itself has a clean, modern, and casual atmosphere that makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down to enjoy your meal. Overall, it's one of my favorite places when I want something healthy without sacrificing taste. 10/10 as always.

It was the most succulent pork I've ever had!

My favorite was Steam White Rice was fabulous legit chewy good. Price point should have been full service but it was hole in wall. Maybe this is made with the seasoning for the demographic and clientele . They don't know any difference?? Super nice guy taking order. The place doesn't really have a good flow...

I had the beef pho (I like it without tendon, beef ball, etc) and the broth was great, the noodles bouncy and it came with all the basil, sprouts, jalapeño and citrus I could want. We also got what they call egg rolls which were like imperial rolls in regular egg roll wrappers. They were decent. Daughter got combination bun which she liked a lot. 3 stars cuz I had to use the bathroom which was absolutely horrifying. They have 2 bathrooms.

This might work well in a bustling location full of non-exempt office workers who have strict limits on their lunch hours. However, I decided to try this particular spot and arrived when there was not a single customer. Then a deranged homeless woman came in. Fortunately I was able to dodge her as I was reviewing the giant backlit menu. I didn't think anything about the emptiness of the space until my order was ready. I decided to try the $13.99 Samgyeopal Ssam-jang, which featured grilled pork belly mixed with veggie soybean paste topped with fried onion, roasted seaweed, and sesame oil, all over rice (Photo 7). The bowl was a strange contrast of textures. Flavor wise, there were more misses than hits. The pork belly was overcooked with the chewy meat rendered almost inedible. The rice was weirdly mushy like it was sitting in lukewarm water far too long. The rest of the ingredients were nondescript. Definitely a hard pass on this bowl in the future. The only reason I'm not leaving one star for this business is that I felt bad for the one soft-spoken server who had the temerity to deal with the unrelenting rantings of the homeless woman.

The restaurant has a beautiful, modern interior with plenty of space, making it a great spot for date nights or dining with a larger group. Service was also amazing! We started with the potstickers, chicken karaage, and takoyaki, which were all delicious and the perfect way to kick off the meal. The cocktails were also a highlight--creative, refreshing, and beautifully presented, making them a great pairing with the food. The A5 Wagyu & Marrow Supreme Ramen completely stole the show. The broth was rich and flavorful, while the wagyu and bone marrow took the bowl to another level. From the gorgeous atmosphere to the amazing food and cocktails, Sobo Ramen delivers a unique dining experience that stands out from your typical ramen spot. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

The flatbread was crispy and tender, with an enough chew to make it into a real meal item. It was served with a coconut curry with tofu and veggies. Unfortunately, both the curry and the garlic noodle dish were unremarkable. Competently executed but not unlike the versions you can get at any number of places around. My hunch is that the best meal here is the simplest: roti with fresh fruit. Crisp and sweet would pair well with the chewy bread. Or maybe just order the roti side for a snack.
