"Where's the 6th star? I've been blessed to have been to write a few Michelin starred restaurants and this little strip mall Mexican joint surpassed many of them. In fact, I will say that this meal is in my top 5 of all time. I had to kill some time before my hotel check-in and decided to grab a late lunch. I was feeling tacos and looked for three closest local Mexican restaurant. From the outside it was just another strip mall restaurant, dark tinted glass and a catchy sign. On entering you are greeted with a surprisingly large seating area, a large beautiful, well stocked bar, and a hot sauce station; all of which was very clean and nicely put together.

We had a good experience here. My first time visiting and everything was good. We had a little wait but that was fine with us. I like that they have a Salsa bar. Our wait staff was attentive and pleasant. The restaurant has plenty of space and was very clean. I like the atmosphere of the place. Friday we went late lunch. I would definitely go back to try more of the menu.

Food was unique and tasty, very cool flavors and selections. Service was pitiful, our wait person was busy socializing and playing too come to our table to check on our food and drinks. When we got his attention and he finally came over to check the drinks he only filled filled 2 of the 4 empty cups. It?s definitely a toss up?I want to go back for the food, grilled cactus on the taco was delicious! but am unsure because of the lack of service. Atmosphere was really cool, loved the art and colors. Probably worth another try.

"The food here is consistently good and we order much of it to take home. We had cauliflower, a mixed salad, wings, garlic bread and two pizzas. I always give it a 4, but remember that it's a pizza place; it's not the same as a 4 at a Michelin restaurant. Service is almost always superb."

"It 's hard for me to decide for sure how I felt about Burma Superstar. We went on suggestion from a few friends, some of which are vegan and some not. Be warned you 'll have to wait a long time to sit, and there isn 't really a good area to wait unless it 's nice outside. The seating situation isn 't great if, like us, you 're stuck right next to the bar in front of the area where the servers are walking the whole time--like trying to eat in the middle of a crowded sidewalk or something. We made sure to tell the server we were vegan, and didn 't explain in as full detail as normal since he jumped in and said he understood perfectly. The Peashoots were really really good... honestly I still think about them fondly and this was two months ago. Oh, and the coconut rice is also really yummy. But I 'm 99% positive our spicy tofu dish had fish sauce or something similar. It smelled like fish and had that too-slick feeling in my mouth. We asked the server and he said there was no fish sauce, but his expression read more along the lines of tell them what will involve the least fixing on my part. We ate some of it, but seriously... when I opened the leftovers the smell of fish just wafted out. My suggestion would be go for the peashoots, and be extremely precise with your server. And don 't take no for an answer if your food tastes fishy."

"The grilled chicken is my go to here. It has a slightly sweet smoky taste that is fairly addicting. I think in general they do meat well. They also give a decent portion for a decent price. Chicken vermicelli bowl : really good Chicken over rice: also very good. The rice reminds me of couscous Pork chop over rice: tasty Imperial rolls: this was a miss for us. The filling was too mushy and bland Chicken pho: wasn't a fan, but I'm very particular about my pho broth. I don't like it when its sweet. I think for most people tho this would taste fine. They have a tiny parking lot and its within walking distance from lake merritt. Its a local neighborhood place that I wouldn't go out of my way for, but if you're around the lake, would suggest giving it a try. I've only ordered takeout from here, but will say that they don't always answer their phone especially on Sundays when they are very busy. Hasn't stopped me from coming here."

"Came in hearing that Burma Superstar was super popular in the area so wanted to try it myself. I got the Superstar fries because it was the cheapest thing on the menu and the description sounded pretty delicious, describing it as a spicy, savoury, umamibomb with a condiment called balachaung. Once I started eating though, it tasted horrendous. I tossed most of it. I laterlearned after looking online that balachaung is made with shrimp, and I do not eat seafood. It would have been greatly helpfulif the description explained what balachaung was, especially for people with allergies."

"beautiful Israeli/Mediterranean place right next to dona tomas. good sitting area in free. there is a tonne vegan options, but I wish the menu so or specified which dishes can be made vegan. the server was very helpful and let me know what could be vegan, but it would be great to have it marked and obvious! there is a vegan tahini sauce that can replace any of the yogurt tahini and it was pretty good, but again, they wouldn't know about it unless they asked how it is not somewhere on the menu."
