Burma Love - Menlo Park

Been here twice and loved it both times. Garlic noodles are delicious. The salad is amazing and everything else we ate. Can remember all the names of the dishes. See my photos. You can park on El Camino, on the side street in the back and I believe there is also underground parking.

I tried Burma Love in SF last year and loved it, and thus I was excited to hear that they are opening up in Menlo Park. I went there with my family and it did not disappoint. My dad, who is typically a picky eater, also liked the food and the Burmese cuisine.

The food and service were great, and the staff was pretty friendly. This one's a bit smaller than their SF branch but the decor is pleasing. It has ample options for vegetarians as well.

I would highly recommend the Tea Leaf Salad (ofc you have to get the Tea Leaf Salad!), the Kebat, and the Fiery Chicken. The Hawker Garlic Noodles lacked some flavor and the Roti Platha was just a little flakier to my liking.

I certainly look forward to my next visit. I strongly recommend getting a reservation in advance if possible. My only complaint would be that the food is slightly pricey.

I've heard about this place when I lived in SF but never got around to trying it. Wow, was I missing out!

Luckily Burma Love has graced us with their presence in Menlo Park and the food is phenomenal.

My husband and I ordered the following:

-The Harp Cocktail (sweet and smokey)
-Roti with Coconut Curry Chicken (Incredibly light, flakey, and buttery with a delicious not too spicy curry that was flavorful)
-Tea Leaf Salad (prepared tableside, was very flavorful)
-Garlic Noodles (added shrimp and totally worth it! cooked to perfection)
-Superstar Fried Rice (a tad spicy, but very good)
-Beef Kebat (Sweet and Savory but really pleasant and interesting)
-Sorbet Duo (refreshing and not too much)

Overall had great service, attentive staff, food was fast, and now have a new favorite in the area. Reservations recommended especially for the weekend.

Came here for a birthday. I personally think the one in SF is better, been to the SF one twice now. Still super new so I think they’re trying to perfect the menu but I would say it’s getting there.

Nice presentation of food but some of the dishes were a bit bland compared to the SF one. The cocktails were pretty good. This restaurant is situated near a brand new plaza so not a lot of restaurants near by but I can see this area being up and coming.

I would give this place a 4/5.

Visited this new branch on their 3rd day after opening. The mohinga (catfish noodle) and cheesecake were fantastic. Mohinga was a unique twist on one of my favorite dishes. Noodles serving size was a little smaller than I remember compared to the SF location. Decor was really great.

The only comment I would add is that service was slow and felt disorganized like the staff aren’t fully trained yet- but probably understandable for a new restaurant. Will definitely return though, and glad to see new options opening up in the area!
