Burma Love wasn’t San Francisco’s first Burmese restaurant, but it’s undoubtedly the hippest. Owner Desmond Tan is passionate about the beloved dishes from his homeland and innately knows how to make …
Their reputation speaks for itself, so will just point out some specific menu hacks: 1) order more than one Coconut Rice per person, the food can be kind of spicy and I always wish there was more rice. 2) Chicken with Fresh Mint is kind of a weirdly named dish. It's not an especially mint forward dish. It's really just spicy, garlicky cubed chicken. Perfect simple healthy chicken dish. 3) Mango Chicken is definitely the best thing on the menu, but the flavor is a little overwhelming so balance it out with some other dishes (like coconut rice, platha and dip, the noodle soup, etc) that are less sweet and sour.

The Mohinga is divine, have ordered it many times. Sadly they shrunk the size to a smaller plastic container so there's much less soup.

Love the Chicken with Fresh Mint from here! I ordered it with a Platha this time but the platha was unfortunately cooked unevenly. It was both crispy and doughy & underdone, and then also in between.
