   The food is reliably good. Beware: their patio is not heated, and if you don't specifically tell them, when you reserve, that you want a warm table, you might get seated outside. On a foggy San Francisco night, the patio is cold and really unpleasant. Even an indoor table isn't safe: some "indoor" tables are adjacent to the full-length open patio doors. When the patio doors are open, these tables are the same temperature as the outside air and exposed to every gust of wind. The service is sometimes good but sometimes very bad. Last time, we got seated at one of the sort-of-inside-but-really-outside tables. When I told my server that we were cold and asked if she could close the door that our table was in front of, she said that she couldn't close it until a particular outside table finished eating. So we waited and shivered until the other table cleared... at which point the waitress sat down *at that exact table* and spent the next half hour eating and texting on her phone. I couldn't believe it. After she finished her meal, I had to find a different server to actually close the door, and of course we didn't get any further service. I can't give it 1 star because sometimes meals there are really pleasant! But sometimes you'll freeze and be ignored by the staff. Do you feel lucky?

   This is starting to become my new favorite dining spot at Thrive City before a concert!! 😅 Their roti dish is second to none - comes served with chicken curry, truffle crème and honey butter… sounds weird but it’s delicious!!! Bougie Burmese food at its best! 👌

   We unknowingly went there on a Sunday night when there was not a Warriors game. However, there was an away game and they broadcast the game on a big screen on the plaza right outside the restaurant. This was actually really cool. The restaurant wasn't full but there were hundreds of fans outside watching the game. It was kind of a surreal experience as we could see it all from inside the restaurant. The food was really good and it was a pleasant surprise, all of it. Great craft cocktails too.

   My garlic noodles were great but the chicken curry udon had no flavor — just spicy. The treasure box also had no salt.

   Came during Fluffy show on Sat. Newly opened extremely busy. They were a bit behind for 4 months new Restaurnt, which is understandable. Good food

   The curry was good. The wagyu kebab was quite tough. The drinks were good.

    Overall good food and experience but many of the foods are very spicy, yet they are not marked as such on the menu. There are only about 3 items marked spicy but many of the items including the pad Thai, were extremely spicy. Not sure if our server got it wrong. We asked for no spice at all but everything came with spice and jalapeños.
