Lively Burmese spot with standout tea leaf salad and curries, polished service, and moody bar vibe; prices are high and dishes skew rich with some inconsistency and allergy handling concerns.
Burma Love delivers competitive neighborhood dining through attentive, efficient service and strong food quality anchored by signature dishes like the tableside tea leaf salad. However, inconsistent execution—lukewarm plates, variable broth thickness, occasional oversalting—and allergy handling gaps prevent grade A territory. The stylish, moody room and lively Valencia corridor location appeal to diners seeking bold Burmese flavors, though premium pricing and shareable portions warrant consideration.
One caveat: Pricing surprises: sides like rice are add-ons and portions can feel small for salads
