We stumbled upon this place completely by chance, as we were wandering the streets of Oakland, looking for a sit-down restaurant we hadn't tried before.
Burma-Tokyo boasts a menu that spans a lot of different types of cuisine. They have a full sushi menu (which we didn't try on our visit), and also a series other Asian specialty dishes cooked 'in the Burmese style'. I had the Nepal platter, which was a stew-like dish of chicken, mushroom, and potatoes, served with roti bread and samosas. My husband got the Laos peppermint leaf with pork, which was had real peppermint leaves, and not just the flavoring. Such unique flavors, we both really enjoyed our dishes (and sampling bites from each other's).
I ordered some green tea, which was served in a gigantic Coca-Cola glass, enough for us to share. And the miso soup was also huge and perfectly salty.
The prices were great - for two entrees, tea, soup, and an appetizer, our total was less than $25. And the service was great. Our waiter could answer any questions we had about the menu or spices. We will definitely be back!
(Parking is on the street, so be aware that during the school year, that could be a little tricky. But, if you can't find a spot to park, you can order delivery from Burma-Tokyo through campusfood.com, so there's no excuse not to try it! :)
