The parking is always a challenge, but the food and the service are outstanding and worth the issues of parking. I like to start with the ginger salad, a great balance of flavors and I find it satisfying. The fire beef and the pork & pumpkin stew, served with coconut rice are the best I have had. I have also had a catfish stew which is very good as well. The desserts are not top priority for me. They now have a location on Park Street in Alameda as well. Go there, and take friends. Neighborhood gems like this are sometimes hard to find!

I dined at Burma Superstar several times over the years, and each time I am progressively more disappointed. In the beginning, the overall quality of the experience was always worth the wait. Lately, the food has seemed more average than outstanding, and the service has been mixed. I generally come away frustrated at having wasted so much of the evening for what has become a fad restaurant. I won't even go there for take out because the parking situation is so horrendous.

I'll comment in two pieces:
a) The bad side: Yes, the parking situation is really awful. Assume about 30 minutes to find parking. Yes, the wait is also horrendous. But neither of these can you really fault the restaurant. The parking problem is not unusual for SF and the wait reflects the fact that so many want to eat here.
b) The good side: The food is authentic yet approachable. The flavors are unique with hints of Indian and Thai influences. The value for the price cannot be beat. Food is the true appeal here. As for the claim that the service is awful, I cannot disagree more. The service staff is gracious and knowledgeable. I've been to the restaurant at least a dozen times at various times of the week. Consistently, service has been high quality.

i went to burma superstar on a saturday and we got seated right away. I have to say the place is a bit small but the service is absolutely superb. The waiter was nice and he came over and talked to us about how we were doing. That was so nice of him. The food was good but the dessert was the high light. It was very good. We had the coconut fritters and it was superb. It was creamy and smooth inside the fried dough and the ice cream was in cocnut flavor too. I can't stop eating it. We also had the burmese samosa. It had too much curry for my taste although it was really crispy. We also had a duck bb
