Burma Bistro

We ordered the Burmese vegetarian fried rice and fiery tofu. Fried rice tasted nice. The tofu was a little saltier for my taste. It also had beans and red bell pepper which tasted really nice.

We came here for Friday dinner and it was not as busy but the dishes were very nicely done. We had the coconut chicken noodle soup, tea leaf salad and daal Goat stew. All dishes were good but the Daal goat stew was the most authentic dish …

Burma Bistro is a cozy little mom-and-pop shop, tucked away in an unassuming Santa Clara strip mall. Their menu is pretty expansive, but if it’s your first time, the staff is excellent about recommending a few “National Dishes” to try out, and they don’t disappoint. For starters, we had the Palata and Dip, which is like Indian naan or Chinese scallion pancakes. It’s crispy, flaky, chewy, and savory. The dip tasted strangely like corn chowder, but was in fact a chicken curry. And it was freaking delicious. I’m happy to report that after a few bites, I told everyone else in the table that I wouldn’t be sharing. Of course at a Burmese place, you’ll have to try the Tea Leaf Salad. Tea Leaf Salad is awesomely nutty, funky, and refreshing. Translating it to the American palate, it’s most similar to a kind of slaw, but it’s much more savory and flavorful and stands well on its own. Another great dish is the Moh Hin Ga, which is like a vermicelli noodle soup. I probably couldn’t even count the number of ingredients in this dish, but the flavors combine really well to make a really satisfying, hearty soup.

Burmese bistro simply was an eye-opener to authentic Burmese cuisine. The presentation was stunning, the flavors packed a punch, and more importantly, it was truly authentic. It completely redefined my knowledge of Burmese cuisine and I'm very happy that I went there. Never underestimate smaller diners, they're sure to surprise you!!
