[Note: as of this update I have eliminated pop-ups and food trucks on account of their elusiveness.]
In a now long ago post, I documented 10 places to try Burmese food in San Francisco, thinking it quite remarkable. If fact, I was only showing the tip of a iceberg. When I decided to expand my list to encompass the entire Bay Area, I was astounded at what I found. At the time of my first compiling the list I found 27 restaurants in the SF Bay area with at least part of their menus devoted to recognizably Burmese fare, but the list keeps growing with new discoveries and new openings.
Dates and nature of updates to the list will be noted at the bottom
