One of the things that Tiyo Shibabaw is looking forward to the most about moving her Oakland-based Burmese restaurant, Teni East Kitchen, to a new location in March is space for a steamer. It's a bigger kitchen, she says. The kitchen we currently have is very small, I would love to offer steamed vegetables and seafood. In fact, whole steamed fish is likely to be one of the new additions to the menu at Teni East Kitchen.

This place turns out top-notch takes on Burmese favorites, like rainbow salad in a sweet and tart tamarind dressing, and crispy-outside-silken-inside Shan tofu, made from chickpeas instead of soy. The vibrant space maintains a friendly neighborhood vibe that makes you feel like a regular from your first visit, with generous portions. The menu has plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options, too, so it's a great pick for a group with multiple dietary restrictions to accommodate.

Mandalay offers hearty dishes like creamy ong no kaw soi and a unique tea leaf salad without romaine, making it a beloved spot in the Bay Area.
