Burma Bistro - Santa Clara

We were on Saturday afternoon. Not so busy. We ordered the mango tofu and Basil Chicken. Tofu court was good. We also ordered Young coconut water and Falooda as a dessert. It was great.

This cozy little place packed a tasteful stamp. It's not my first time to try Burmese food, but the last time I did it before Eons. The food here definitely brought back memories. Your menu is elaborate and you will be tempted to taste all their dishes, but you do not have to miss their tea lead salad. It is crispy, savory and fill! We also tried their Mango Tofu and acid leaf bamboo shrimps, which are beautifully paired with coconut rice. I loved the food here!

We ordered the Burmese vegetarian fried rice and fiery tofu. fried rice tasted beautiful. the tofu was a little saltier for my taste. it had also borded and red paprika, which really tasted beautiful.

We came here for Friday dinner and it wasn't so much to do, but the dishes were very nice. We had the coconut chicken soup, tea leaves salad and Daal goat stone. All dishes were good, but the Daal goat stew was the most authentic dish and delicious mutton preparation I had in Bay Area in East Indian style. Service was good. Will definitely repeat a place.

First time having Burmese food. Was planning to hit the pho house in the same plaza but Burma Bistro looked enticing. TLDR First time here, food is legit, look at pictures from your favorite 'find me food ' app for pictures to get a better idea of what you may be interested in. Not too busy on a Friday night, we were seated fairly quickly and staff were friendly and patient with us as they tended to the multiple delivery drivers coming to pick up orders Yellow Tofu Yellow Pea Fritters The physical menu lists it as yellow Tofu but the online ordering menu lists it as yellow pea. Regardless, this was a nice starter, the home made chili sauce pairs very nicely with the crispy but light yellow rectangles. The inside strikes me as more of yellow pea than a tofu so some clarification is necessary but not that important. These were good, I would recommend them, and would order them again. Chicken Dan Bawk (boneless) This dish was quite nice! Aromatic rice accented with yellow raisins, cashews, a perhaps fried shallots I think. Chicken was thigh meat and was cooked perfectly. Veggie Curry Assorted veggies and lentils in a light and thin curry sauce. Would have liked a sprinkle of some kosher salt to bring out the curry a little more but overall it provided nicely cooked veggies to a protein and starch rich meal. Ginger lemonade I never would have imagined a hint of ginger would elevate a simple glass of lemonade to another level. This works and it works amazingly well. The ginger provided a nice spicy refreshing after taste from the usual lemonade everyone is used to. Could have used a touch more sweetness in my opinion but the ginger was perfect.
