This was our first time dining at B Star and we were wowed by the variety of dishes that were offered. We started with mini ribs, Brussels sprouts and the platha dipper all of which had good flavor and were well done. The entrees followed the same quality and deliciousness with my personal favorite being the duck skin fried rice. Overall, a great dining experience and the service was also really nice.
Sister restaurant to Burma Superstar, with a much faster seating and similar menu. We have been here for restaurant week and when we were a large group of 10. For the large group, after we got directed from Burma Superstar to B Star, they seated us within 10 minutes.
The menu is similar but B Star has their own standouts, like the Salmon Ochazuke, and honestly, the tea leaf salad is just as good as Burma Superstar if not better. I highly recommend coming here if you have never had Burmese food!
Four of us had a nice dinner. The selection or choices is great and gives you some nice flavor options. Two of our group needed gluten free and the Resteraunt was very attentive and careful which was really nice. Our food came to the table a little too randomly, another words one of four entree came came five or six minutes ahead and then the next two dishes came then another five minutes and the fourth dish arrived Not a deal breaker. Everyone in our party enjoyed the meal. I found my rice noodles softer than I would have liked but don’t have enough experience to know if that is how they are served in Burma. Cost of the meal was fair and the ingredients were fresh Quantities were all good as everyone left full. Atmosphere is urban casual. With plastic chairs and patio style tables. While the staff were very busy they were also friendly.
What a delightful treat. It's a nice neighborhood place on Clemente Street. We had the Kau Soi curry dish and the Tea Leaf salad. The Tea Leaf salad was amazing, an absolute abundance of flavors.
Such unique and delicious food! Rating dishes in the order of liking (best first):
- Firecracker cauliflower: Slightly sweet, wonderfully crispy and goes so well with the tea green salad
- Black Rice pudding: Not too sweet, light and healthy-ish pairing of sticky rice and fruits
- Thai Curry Pot pie: Very interesting flavors, with sweet leaning salad on the side. I liked it but just found the flavors to be unfamiliar
- Tea Leaf Salad: Lovely crunchy seeds, good quantity, but again kind of new-weird flavor to enjoy the salad by itself. But I would still recommend it as a pairing with the appetizer
Highly recommend, especially for vegetarians!
the salmon ochazuke is so damn good flavor- and texture-wise; comforting and delicious!!!
The food was overall good. Enjoyed the salmon rice soup bowl the most. The cauliflower was not bad but it was a bit too sweet and greasy. Thinner skin or just grilled would have been nice. The pancake was good! Not too oily. Staff were nice and kind.
Unique taste with great portions. I was very surprised you don't get food this good at these sizes. Even on lunch portions, we all left very full and happy. Great customer service also with quick seating during the lunch hour.
This is my favorite place to eat in the inner Richmond. I am not a super fan of Burma Super Star but love the casual vibe and amazing food at this spin off. They are famous for their tea leaf salad but you can’t really go wrong. Specific recs: salmon ochazuke, platha, sesame chicken, green plate, fiery basil chicken. The drinks are also good esp. the cucumber chili basil mojito.
Yum!! Just as good as Burma Superstar down the street except there wasn't a huge wait. Really great appetizers, entrees and margaritas. We loved every second and they kindly accommodated our larger group.
