What Our Clients Says

Great spot for Burmese food. I love when places already list what is gluten-free so it's easy to order (especially helpful for takeout). We will definitely be back for the other GF dishes.

The food tasted good; we got the two traditional soups and would highly recommend both. They are unique and different than soups you can find at any other restaurant. I like how they have vegan and gluten-free items marked clearly on the menu.

Wheree

San Francisco has a popping Burmese restaurant scene, encompassing not only big name restaurants but local spots like Inle Burmese too! The flavors of the dishes here were bold and vibrant but served in an understated dining room off an affordable menu. We started with the famous Tea Leaf Salad. This was definitely my favorite dish, as the combination had so much depth of flavor and textures--crunchy, nutty, salty, sour, spicy, all at the same time! Next, the Mohinga (Fish Chowder Noodle Soup) was a rich, spiced broth with minced fish and rice noodles, flavored with plenty of aromatics including lemongrass, ginger, onion, garlic, and fish sauce. The Chicken Curry was a rich stew of boneless chicken and potatoes in an aromatic spice mixture, served with a side of paratha, a crispy layered flatbread. The Nan Gyi Noodle Salad was made of slippery round rice noodles topped with cabbage, chickpea bean powder, cilantro, boiledegg, red onions, and chicken marinated in a Burmese red sauce. Finally, the Burmese Garlic Noodles were egg noodles with intensely flavored stir-fried chicken and scallions. Overall, the food here was delicious, and every dish was beautifully-presented and vibrant in flavor. The menu prices were very reasonable for SF, and the service was quick and friendly too!

So good! We are vegetarians and had the paratha and coconut curry dip, veg version of the tea leaf salad, the samosa soup, and the Inle Fried Rice. I would definitely come here again!

About Inle Lake

Inle Lake A freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). Transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved out of necessity as the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants, making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
