I visited on a Friday night with my older parents. We were seated after just a few minutes, and the hostess was very courteous with updates. The coconut chicken soup was amazing, very creamy! Rainbow chicken was also very savory. I'd highly recommend the House Special Noodle. Noodles seemed to melt in your mouth, for lack of a better phrase. Just delicious. The staff and even the customers really went above and beyond in terms of courtesy and politeness, too. My mom had recently had a major surgery that required her to use a walker. Everyone was very helpful and kind.

Burma Spice hosted our daughter's high school graduation luncheon on May 23rd and we couldn't have been happier! We had about 30 guests in a separate area in the back of the restaurant. Kham and Raymond were so nice and helpful in planning the menu for our gathering. Everything was served family style. We ordered - Tea Leaf Salad- the perfect ratio of fermented tea leaves and ingrediants. - Samosas- light, crispy, and so flavorful - Nan Gyi Thoke- the noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy, and the curry was creamy and delightful. - Basil Lemongrass Chicken- fresh basil, and lemongrass really made this dish a popular topic. - Pumpkin Veggie- Nice ratio of pumpkin and other veggies, very hearty. - Kebat Lamb- savory, packed full of rich spices, the onions add so much texture and flavor as well. - Jasmine Rice Plus plenty of yummy tropical cocktails for the adults. They set up a little table for the cake, and some graduation items that we brought. They really went out of their way to make our celebration comfortable. Everything was in generous portions, fresh and expertly prepared. My guests raved about the food and service. Some of my guests had never tried Burmese food before and now in their meal rotation. We didn't realize that we had stretched into their rest period between lunch and dinner because they were so gracious about not rushing us. I highly recommend Burma Spice in Redwood City for any meal or occasion. The restaurant is such a gem in our neighborhood and the service is friendly.

The service was very efficient in taking our orders and the hostess was very hospitable by lowering the window blind just for us and by regularly checking-in. I commend BL for serving three samosas for our party of three because normally, a samosa appetizer only consists of two. The samosas & tea leaf salad had a crispy texture. In addition to the sweet-flavored coconut rice and earthy brown rice, the roti bread also complimented the lamb curry. The chicken and beef chili entrees were mild spicy and tangy. My Burmese Butterfly mocktail was a refreshing beverage to start the meal and the iced-milk tea later complimented my toffee cake dessert well. We overall enjoyed a most pleasant Sunday evening dining experience. I'm also glad we reserved a 5pm seating as the restaurant became busy by 7pm.

Roti canai - reliably crispy and comes with a good flavorful furry. Belachan eggplants - the belachan flavor doesn't come across as prominently, and might have been more present if the green beans and eggplants were even softer. I have a preference for really well sautéed vegetables, whereas these still had their crunch--almost as if it were blanched and tossed quickly in the sauce. So if that's the texture you prefer, this would be the dish for you. We ended with a fried banana for dessert, which was a good way to end the meal.

Cocktail drinks are pretty good but just know that some drinks are small for the price. The best drink is the coconut one with coconut rum.

Unfortunately, there were problems with every dish: 1. Extremely small portions: The basil chicken and mango chicken portions were ridiculously small. Around 80% of the container was just onions, and the containers were only about 70% full. For the price, this is unacceptable. 2. Almost no chicken in the garlic noodles: The garlic noodles had literally only two tiny pieces of chicken. I cannot believe I paid almost $3 extra to substitute pork with chicken and received basically no chicken at all. 3. Unbelievably salty: Both the garlic noodles and basil chicken were so salty that they were inedible. I had to rinse them with water five times, and then re-cook them myself just to make them edible. I've never had to do this with takeout before. The food wasn't just disappointing in terms of flavor and portion size--the biggest issue is that it feels like the restaurant is being extremely stingy while still charging fairly high prices. Poor portions, excessive salt, and very little meat. Definitely not worth the price, and I would not order from here again.

I can't judge how authentic the food is since this is my first time trying Burmese food... but it tasted really good. We ordered: - Burmese tea leaf salads (classic Burmese dish!) - Seafood cake curry with vegetables (okra) - Chin Boung Kyor - sour leaf cooked with shrimp, bamboo, and chili, and fish sauce Every dish complimented each other. We were so happy they all had a distinct taste. The tea leaf salad had a good balance of bitter aroma and sweetness from other vegetables. Topping it with the crunch from all the different nuts - it was so satisfying to eat. The Burmese seafood cake curry is on the lighter end similar to Thai curry and not creamy like the Indian curry. Every ingredient is packed with flavor. It reminded me of a laksa. The sour leaf stir fried vegetables is so unique! I've never had this flavor profile before so it was so refreshing to try. The leaf and the bamboo are soft, it almost melts in your mouth. I felt healthy after this meal. It wasn't overly greasy or heavy. All the dishes we were able to ask them to make it mild as well since my partner can't tolerate spicy food. There were street parking as well as plenty of neighborhood parking around the area. No wait time either on a Sunday evening.

We all left quite hungry! Browsing through the menu, we tried to choose dishes that were unique and reflected authentic Burmese cuisine. $17.99 Tealeaf salad -- everyone knows this classic dish and here at Burma Silver, this one was standard $14.99 Mango pickle salad -- didn't taste too much mango here $17.99 Seafood cake salad -- the best of all three salads, full of spicy curry flavors. The seafood cake is basically sliced fish cake that's made from fish paste. $17.99 Pork Curry -- a rare curry made with pork. This dish was small, overall lacking in quantity of pork and the some of the pieces were tough to chew. $15.99 Spicy Crispy Fish -- the worst of all the dishes. It came with 6 rubbery pieces, clearly previous frozen fish that had an awful chemical aftertaste that even deep frying couldn't cover up. It arrived with more fried shallots than there were actual fish pieces. Horrible. $15.99 #38) Pan Tay Noodles -- trying to end this review on a good note, this noodle dish was the saving star. The noodles were bouncy, chewy, and delicious, even though there were only a few slices of meat to be found. I understand the economy is rough and restaurants have to make a profit in order to stay in business but cutting the portions and meat servings just means you won't get as many repeat customers. While most things tasted good at Burma Silver Star, I cannot justify the value of my money spent.
