Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Burma Love Downtown offers a delightful culinary experience with "amazing food" and "fantastic craft cocktails." The Tea Leaf Salad is a must-try, leaving many diners raving. While the ambiance is "lovely," service can be inconsistent, and the surrounding area may feel "a bit unsafe." Overall, a worthwhile destination for Burmese cuisine.

    Burma Love does not disappoint. Delicious drinks and food. Good portions. Great service. We came for an early dinner and had a wonderful time. We look forward to future visits. They are consistent, inviting and overall a good choice.

    The location of this restaurant is in an awful area. The street located 50 feet away from the restaurant was the worst scene I have ever witnessed in a lifetime living in SF. Sad on many accounts, but be very aware for personal safety. Food was tasty but did not settle well for myself nor my spouse. The wait staff could not have been less impressive. It would have been a much better experience if we could have just ordered on our phones/tablets. After 15 minutes of having stacked plates at the center of our table, I had to get up and find our server to ask that the plates be removed. Sensing the desire of our server that we leave our table so others could be sat, we decided to move to the bar area. The bar was empty with two bartenders, both of whom stayed at the other end of the bar while making great efforts to avoid eye contact while they talked. The lazy and rude bartenders were the final impression I needed to ensure I never returned to Burma Love.

    Was a bit worried at a slow start to our meal before Hamilton, but the staff recognized the breakdown and scored a touchdown for solid service. The young man working front of the house, literally went the extra mile to track down a waiter who then delivered our dishes at lightning speed. Well done !

    The food was too spicy . I asked them not to make it spicy when I ordered and they did. They offered to remake the dish and it still had tons of red pepper flakes.

    Lemore and Anthony were excellent bartenders and servers. We tried a new dish and met some nice folks at the bar, our favorite spot to dine.

    I have been many times but on my most recent visit the food was exceptional. I would suggest keeping the door closed on nights that are cooler. It was a little cool inside.
