Welcome to Burma Silver Star Restaurant

“ There isn't a shortage of Burmese restaurants in the Bay Area, but this takes the crown for me. The spicy crispy chicken + coconut rice is a magical combo. ”

“ Burma native here. The dishes here are authentic, reminds me of northern Burmese food more closer to Mandalay style. The kawk swe thouk (noodle salad) and the tofu salad are standouts. The curries are great too and reminds me of roadside curry shops in Burma. This place is authentic, not watered down Americanized Burmese food that seems prevalent in the Bay…will be back and highly recommend it! ”

“ Look, I’m not Burmese, and I have never been to Burma/Myanmar. All I know I love me a good mom & pop shop, and this mom & pop serves the best Burmese I’ve had in SF. We’re coming back. Tea leaf salad - whole tea leaves make for a different texture and taste than the original style with ground leaves in the dressing. Fresh and vibrant. I can eat this daily. Khouk Swe Thoke (noodle salad) - I’m bean powder curious these days, so had to try this out. An interesting mouthfeel that’s somewhere between creamy and powdery. Spicy, sweet, salty, creamy, savory, especially from the dried seafood. It’s a heavy hitter but not too heavy. I think it’s the bean powder that strikes a balance. We also got a fried rice, not pictured. Lots of black pepper to go with the sweet. The fried egg on top was fluffy and nicely browned. Pieces of whole caramelized garlic, too. My preference is for a drier rice (emphasis on preference), but we finished regardless. Service was attentive and quick, too. Inside is homely and spacious with a clean bathroom. ”

“ The server and the host were amazing and charming. The food, absolutely fresh and scrumptious. I loved the music and the atmosphere. See you again soon Burma Silver Star ”

“ Incredibly happy to find an authentic Burmese restaurant. Every part—the food, hospitality, music, decor—made me feel as if I was back in Yangon. Delicious food… we return again and again for the pork curry, nan gyi thoke (noodle salad), and faluda (rose flavored dessert). They’re also doing weekend brunch, which is a real treat. A gem! ”

“ Wow! What an excellent find: authentic Burmese food just like we used to eat in Yangon. The owner is so friendly and will talk to you about Myanmar if you are curious. We come here regularly and enjoy it every time. UPDATE: They are now open for breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays from 9-11 a.m. We went for the first time today and it was just like eating breakfast in Yangon when we used to live there. For first-timers to Burmese breakfast, I would highly recommend the pratha, Burmese fried rice, or both! ”

“ Fast, friendly service. The food is fantastic. My wife’s family is from Burma and this place gets her seal of approval so you know it’s legit! We come often and are never disappointed. If you like Burmese food, curries, noodles, coconutty things, and / or big flavors you’ll love this place! ”

“ Amazing authentic experience at Burma Silver Star. The whole team is so friendly and the service is excellent. The food you must try if you want a fresh quality authentic Burmese dishes with reasonable pricing. The whole experience was great and I highly recommend to try the best Burmese dishes in Bay area. ”
