I'm not picky or easily wowed. But this restaurant reverberates in my stomach and my soul. For most people, it's a trek to the Richmond district, but this up and coming section of foggy Clement street is well worth the pilgrimage. Everything on their menu is yummy, and the only thing we wanted when we ate there was more.

Off the beaten path in Richmond, this cozy family run Burmese restaurant has managed to create quite the following. They do not take reservations, so upon arriving at 7:45 we had to write our name on a dangling clipboard with instructions from the waitress to go get a drink and wait for her to call us. An hour later, starving, we were finally seated. The wait was worth it!! The 20 ingredient salad was the best thing we tried with the fiery Tofu and Chicken in 2nd place. The ambiance is very causal, authentic with no frills, and the price is reflected (entree's around $8-$10). The service was super quick and very pleasant. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends tired of eating a over-priced pan-Asian restaurants in the marina PROS: price, food, authenticity CONS: wait, not good for big groups, small

I can't really make a comparison between this and other Burmese restaurants as this is the only one I've ever eaten in. But comparing it to other restaurants, I will say that the food is delightful though. The only issue is that everyone seems to know that it is a great restaurant and so there is very often a line--at least when you want to eat. I have found that it is easy to get a seat on a Sunday afternoon; but in the evenings assume there will be a 30 minute wait. As a comparison it is similar to Indonesian food, and has some small similiarities with Thai foods; especially their stews. One other thing to note though is that it is a little bit pricier than Chinese or Thai--a couple of buck an entree; but it is well worth trying. PROS: Fantastic food CONS: Have to wait and price.

This place is always very busy, but they have implemented a system that allows you to leave your cell number and go visit one of the local coffee houses/bars while you wait. Food is delicious, I reccoment the Thai Peanut/Ginger Salad and the Spicy Sesame Chicken. The coconut rice is very nice. Service is sometimes slow, and they do not always bring all the meals out together.

Sought this place out with my sister, who'd been before and knew about getting there before 5:30. Absolutely true. We got right in, and watched a horde form outside our window table. The food was stupendous. Flavors and combinations unlike anything I've had anywhere. Service excellent and informative, friendly, energetic staff. The decor is gorgeous. Topnotch

This experience was a downright waste of our time. Long wait of over an hour. Small and overly crowded place. Also noticed how close the Bathroom to the Kitchen. Disgusting. In addition to all of the above....they will not allow you to sit next to your Fiance. My Fiance and I were asked to sit across from each others instead of sitting next to one another. I could not believe it. We asked if other Patrons have complained and they told us no. for a moment I thought I was in a Talaban territory. We asked for the manger but were told the same thing. We have waited in the rain and cold for over an hour, paid for parking to be told that I could not sit next to my Fiance. We have decided to leave this place instead. SF has plenty of great places to eat and with great service. This is clearly not worth it. NOT RECOMMENDED At All. Pros: Not sure what is all the Hype about. Not a single good thing Cons: Long wait, crowded, bad and slow service, bathroom too close to kitchen

This is one of my fav places in the city. I love the khow suey. Sure, I usually go there on Fridays (the busy weekend) and there is usually an hour wait, but there is a great cafe across where you can grab some drinks before dinner! And.. they actually call you when your table is ready. Inspite of being so busy, the staff is always polite and greet you with a warm smile. Sangria not bad at all either! Just chill out here and don't worry about the crowd, they'll get in next week. Pros: Great Authentic Burmese Food! Cons: None-Its all part of the experience

There are no words to describe how good this place is. It has by FAR the best food I've ever eaten. Get the tea leaf salad (amazing). Drink a mango smoothy or a ginger lemonade. Have some coconut rice. Get samosas, or even the samosa soup...to die for. About the notorious wait, it's true. But like people say, put your name in before you go, or go across the street and get some coffee or drinks, and set your mobile phone on high. Wait it out--it's worth it. As for the service, the place is busy as heck, so they run their tails off. But if you need something, like a refill, and bring it to their attention, they will hustle to get it for you. They are the sweetest friendliest people you could meet--it's part of Burmese culture. Pros: Best food ever!, Reasonable prices, Best food EVER! Cons: LONG wait, Only one location, Very small/cramped
