Burma Superstar

Inner Richmond, San Francisco Bay Area · Burmese · $$

Burmese food draws on its Indian, Chinese and Thai neighbors, and since 1992 this Clement Street room has done more than any other to teach San Francisco that cooking. The fermented tea leaf salad is tossed tableside with fried garlic, peanuts and lemon, and the rainbow salad runs to twenty-odd ingredients including four kinds of noodle. There are no reservations, so put your name in and wander Clement Street while you wait.
