Top Burmese Restos in the Bay Area?

[J T]

Solely base it on the authenticity of the dishes. List a couple spots if you'd like. Thanks.

'hounds have id'd 22 places so far that have some Burmese dishes, listed here,

Was hoping to hear about some new discoveries in this thread, anyone?

JT, are you sure you want authenticity only? I can think of a couple places that are quite authentic, but don't execute well or consistently, and the food quality falls down.

I've been to all on the list except BSS in Alameda and the places in Milpitas and Fremont, and hope to try them before too long. My top picks for authenticity and taste would be Mingalaba, Pagan, and Larkin Express Deli.

I've never been to Burma either but I really liked Mandalay on California in San Francisco. Much more relaxed than Burma SS, prettier surroundings, and I liked the food better.

A new place in Burlingame opened called Mingalaba. Its pretty darn good!

As far as authenticity, hell, I dont know, Ive never been to Burma.

I second Inya Lake, the good thing with them is never a wait.
Super Star is very good but the wait can be quite long.

That's why I love the one in Alameda. Same food, but almost never a wait.

There are rumors that Burma SuperStar in Alameda will close once the new Oakland location opens. I've emailed the owners but got no response. Is it still open?

[Scrapironchef]

I'll third Innya lake, never had to wait and relatively easy parking.

There's also always a basketball game on the TV in the back.

I lived in the area for two years and ended up there at least once a week. Good food and good people.

I'm not from Burma so I really can't speak to authenticity, but I really like Innya Lake in San Bruno and Burma Super Star in SF.
