Excellent Burmese fare includes some of the Bay Area's more authentic takes on mohinga (fish noodle soup), ohn no kauk swe (coconut-curry chicken soup), fried tofu and pork and mango curry, among many other goodies. The setting is elegant, but the price point is appealingly modest. Order family style and eat as much as you can.
