"The Richmond restaurant that launched in 1992 and popularized Burmese food in the Bay Area needs no introduction. Their tea leaf salad doesn’t either. This version is stellar, and every bite is a banger full of funk, salt, spice, and sweet. Staff will toss the lettuce-heavy dish at the table while explaining the rainbow of ingredients and mixing at 5x speed. Just walk up to the cozy spot, grab a table, and watch salad wizardry unfold.
