Just not what I expected. We called ahead for seating an hour in advance. Got there and still waited another hour. Some people waited longer! Is the wait worth it??? Not really. The food is good but everything tasted the same. Just more or less spice. The tea salad is interesting...my friends loved it. I thought it was a bit... More

We discovered this little gem when searching Yelp for a lunch spot within reasonable walking distance of the De Young. Notable for being the only place we passed on Clement that boasted a line out front, we found Burma Superstar to be a down-to-earth restaurant with terrific food and a relaxed atmosphere. We shared vegetarian samosas, yellow bean curry, and... More

The "It" restaurant on Clement St., arrive early or be prepared to wait. Lively atmosphere. Very good Asian food, but overpriced. Sangria was a disappointment. The tea leaf salad was the best dish we had, and the tea leaves came all the way from Burma! Burma Superstar, check. Next!

Often a sign of a good local restaurant is one filled with repeat local visitors. This was our experience at Burma Superstar restaurant. We struck up a great conversation with a table neighbor who steered us to Basil Ginger chicken (fabulous!), and we of course ordered the famed tea leaves salad, mixed and made at the table. Fresh, light yet... More

If you like Chinese, Thai or Indian food, you must try Burma Superstar. The Tea Leaf Salad is great. Biggest issue is that they don't take reservations and lines can be long depending on the time of day.

if you go to san francisco this is a MUST GO restaurant! try the salad (they will know which) and the sangria with exotic fruits!

Friends who'd been to SF recommended Burma Superstar!! Thank Homer they did!! The Rainbow Salad (22 ingredients) was phenomenal!! We stopped in for lunch, they other dishes included curries which were good, strangely, it's the salad I remember most!!

Thanks to other reviews, my husband and I decided to try this restaurant for lunch. It was superb. We arrived at 11:30 on a Tuesday morning and were seated and served immediately. We were able to park in front of the restaurant at metered parking ($2 an hour). We shared a tea leaf salad, mu-shu pork appetizers. Would definitely order... More

Long wait for large groups. The restaurant itself was not that large but we called 1.5hrs ahead for a group of 10. There is a sister restaurant if the wait here is too long. Everything we ordered was delicious! (samusa, tea leaf salad, calamari, mango shrimp, walnut shrimp, nan gyi dok, spicy/crispy chicken, braised pork belly, coconut rice..and desserts.. YUM)
