Essential Information

6048 College Ave.
Oakland, CA

510-655-3298

Once you’ve identified your ideal meal here—say, the sparkling 14-ingredient ginger salad, the unique dry stir-fried curried smoked eggplant, the substantial garlic noodles (with chicken, pork, prawns, mango or mixed seafood) and the mouthwatering, succulent chicken or lamb curry—it’s hard to stray from visit to visit. But in the sleek modern digs of the East Bay’s first Burmese restaurant (originally located in Oakland Chinatown), former architect Philip Chu has built up a stunning repertoire of variations on his native Burmese street food and home cooking. So it’s equally difficult to resist experimenting with your order, and virtually impossible to go wrong with any of the salads (including green tea, green papaya or mango, tomato), appetizers (such as samosas, potato cakes, Indian knishes), soups, curries or stir-fries. Lunch Tue.–Sun, dinner nightly.
