replying to u/immiz182: Can’t comment on SF vs. NYC Burmese food, but the 3 spots below have some good Burmese food - 1. Little Myanmar in EV 2. Burmese Bites in Elmhurst 3. Amayar Kitchen in Maywood, NJ (obviously out of the city, but a personal favorite)
“One I won't recommend is Rangoon - unless they improved, it was a Burmese "concept" in Brooklyn, now Chelsea market. When I had it, it was very very Americanized.”
