Fodor's Expert Review Burma Superstar

Locals make the trek to the "Avenues" for this perennially crowded spot's flavorful, well-prepared Burmese food, including its extraordinary signature tea leaf salad, a combo of spicy, salty, crunchy, and sour that is mixed table-side. The modestly decorated, no-reservations restaurant is small and lines can be long during peak times, so leave your number and wait for the call or walk a couple blocks east to B-Star, owned by the same people but often less crowded and with a welcoming patio.
