Burma Light in Folsom

This is the second time we have been here. Back within a week even though it’s a distance from our house because the food is just that good. The flavor profile sings in your mouth. The food is bold, bright and beautiful. This is a great find. You won’t be disappointed.

Had a great time today, loved the lamb curry, salt and pepper chicken and fried rice. Oh yeah and the tea leaf salad is 10/10, I will definitely be coming back, also they have a chicken or beef dried snack you can get, I recommend both!

Nice burmese joint in Folsom. Service was very quick, and the food was fresh and yummy.We ordered garlic noodles (just ok ), honey shrmp ( great)basil and chili swai ( great), salt and pepper chicken ( great, loved the dipping sauce), beef kebat (great), indian rice(just ok) and fried banana with icecream(not that great).We came for lunch today and ordered a few lunch specials. It came with tea leaf salad and jasmine rice.We chose the items basil and chili for swai and chickena( good), garlic egg plant (ok), wok fried spicy noodles( ok).The tea leaf salad somehow did not match my taste,it was a favorite for most others.Another great visit with my friends group, and it was delicious and fresh. Loved the mango salad and egg plant garlic.

AMAZING!!! I was so excited to see that a new Burmese place was going to open up in Folsom, and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is wonderful. Dark colors with a modern on traditional feel. Really clean and comfortable. The staff were all on point, super polite and fast.We decided to try the mango chicken dish and the Burmese style lamb curry with the coconut rice.I have to admit that I’ve NEVER had anything like the mango chicken before. At first, I wasn’t sure what I thought of it. It was slightly sweet, smooth, and super unique. A few more bites, and I realized that it was actually incredible. I 10/10 recommend it. Paired with the coconut rice, and it was just… wow! The lamb curry was also fantastic. A complete 180 from the chicken which was lighter. The lamb was heartier but just as tasty. I cannot wait to come back to try more of their dishes!!!

I had the Chicken Kebat and it was delicious! The sauce was tasty and very fresh with the mint. The onions were crispy and sweet, and the chicken was tender and plentiful. The side salad was also pretty good: crispy, slightly sweet, and nutty with the flavors of sesame and/or peanuts(?)The place was pretty empty when I came by for lunch and Im surprised they dont get more customers... very yummy!

We have been wanting to try this place and it was so good! The service was friendly and fast. Our server helped recommend items for us and each one was a hit. We got the tea lead salad, Mango Chicken, Dry Chili Beef and Garlic Noodles. I would order all of them again and we look forward to trying other items.The food tasted fresh and was flavorful. We will definitely be back!

Everything we ordered was delicious. The server was so nice. Mango chicken is spicy and sweet at the same time. Nya ngoc noodles have a lot of flavor but are not overpowering. I like the noodles, i wonder if they make their own noodles. Tea leaf salad is also highly recommended. A lot of gluten and vegan choices. We will definitely come back here.

WOW! It was our (me & my husbands) first time visiting Burma Light tonight and it was wonderful! Great service from the friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. We had:1. Salt and Pepper calamari (pictured)2. Garlic Shrimp & Eggplant (Gfs) (pictured)3. Sesame Beef4. Burmese Garlic Noodle with tofuEvery dish was amazing, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. They give you a decent amount of food with each dish, so we even had leftovers. Cant wait for lunch tomorrow! It was really tough to pick what to order because every sounded so good. We will absolutely be coming back very soon!!

We had an early dinner with our friends on Sunday night. The restaurant is spacious and the server and the owner were very friendly. Our server checked on us multiple times. I asked the owner who took our order whether the pad thai was spicy and he replied no. However, when the pad thai came, it was spicy and he was very generous to take it off from our bill (we later added garlic noodle to our order for the kids).- tea leaf salad: the salad was delicious and tasted authentic. The sauce had very bold flavor and super garlicky- which I like.- pad thai with chicken: it’s mild spicy and delicious! The flavor was deep. The noodles were well cooked and there were lots of chicken pieces.- Burmese chicken curry: it was good. The chicken pieces were tender and flavorful. But not our favorite.- beef dry chili: delicious! The beef pieces were tender and well seasoned. The sauce was delicious! The portion was quite generous too.- butter noodle: good. The noodle was well cooked and well seasoned. I ate it with the beed dry chili and it was delicious!

What an absolute treat having a place of this quality right on our door step. The food was fresh and vibrant tasting. I tasted some flavor combos I never have before and I have to say ...I LIKE IT!! Make sure you ask for the spiced dried beef condiment. You add it to the other dishes . Its a great textreal contrast and tastes great. We shall definitely return to try everything on this menu.
