About

Known for a variety of tofu dishes like Shan tofu and mango tofu, this Burmese restaurant provides sizable portions with reasonable pricing for the Bay Area. The service is generally attentive, and outdoor seating is available, though the atmosphere leans more Western than traditional Burmese. While some dishes like the tea leaf salad and Burmese string beans receive praise, authenticity can be hit or miss according to recent diners.
