B Star gets high marks for its friendly and attentive staff.
They were incredibly accommodating when we requested to move our reservation to an earlier time, which was a huge plus.
The restaurant itself offers two seating areas – a standard indoor space and a patio area in the back.
The patio looked charming, but we opted for the warmer indoor space on this particular visit. Their SF Restaurant Week menu was a delightful exploration of Pan-Asian flavors, with Burmese influences taking center stage.
We tried a variety of dishes, with mixed results: Laksa (traditional Burmese soup): This coconut curry broth-based soup was a flavorful adventure.
The combination of rice noodles, grilled shrimp, crispy tofu, and fresh herbs offered a delightful mix of textures and tastes. Burmese lamb curry platter: The lamb itself was beautifully tender, and the pickled mango added a nice tangy counterpoint.
However, the overall curry flavor profile felt a bit muted.
It could have benefited from a bolder, more complex spice blend. Tea leaf salad: This classic Burmese salad was a textural and flavor explosion.
The fermented tea leaves provide a unique savory base, while the nuts, fried garlic, and fresh vegetables add delightful contrasting textures.
This was a definite highlight of the meal. B Sprouts: The Brussels sprouts were delicious and cooked well but the crunchy bits (furikake) were too crunchy and after a few bites, we were just simply picking the brussel sprouts and getting rid of the furikake and the popped rice. Rice pudding: As we were one of the first tables seated after opening, the lychee panna cotta wasn't ready yet.
We could only opt for the rice pudding instead.
While the rice pudding itself was creamy, it lacked any real standout flavor.
We were also full by then. Thai iced tea: The Thai iced tea was watered down and lacked the rich, bold flavors. Overall, B Star has a lot of potential.
The staff is fantastic, and the menu offers intriguing Pan-Asian options.
However, the execution of some dishes fell short.

This was our first time dining at B Star and we were wowed by the variety of dishes that were offered.
We started with mini ribs, Brussels sprouts and the platha dipper all of which had good flavor and were well done.
The entrees followed the same quality and deliciousness with my personal favorite being the duck skin fried rice.
Overall, a great dining experience and the service was also really nice.

Excellent, friendly service, lovely decor and ambiance, and tasty food and drinks.
We had a great table in the back dining area, and enjoyed everything we ordered – mostly off the happy hour menu – including the sake flight and Sauvignon blanc.
The tea leaf salad, samusas, and Brussels sprouts were especially delicious.
