Inle
5-Course Dreaming of Myanmar Tasting Event
First opened in October 2019 in Noe Valley, and just relocated to its new digs in Inner Sunset, this outstanding eatery was named to San Francisco Chronicle’s “Best Burmese Food” List this year, and Eater’s “Best Dishes” List (citing the tea leaf salad). Owner Morgan Sue and Co-Owner/Chef (and wife) Shirlene Lim grew up in Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, just blocks from each other. Still, they idn’t meet until they immigrated to the US, where their paths crossed as students at City College of San Francisco. Inle is named for Inle Lake one of the biggest bodies of water in their home country, and has brought Burmese cuisine to many Bay Area diners who savor their signature dishes like Burmese-style chicken kebabs, pork with pineapple, fish noodle soup, crispy egg roll salad, and their smashing variation on pad thai. “Their Burmese specialties are that good,” raves Infatuation, naming Inle to its List of “Best Burmese Restaurants in the City.” We are so looking forward to our visit, and to hearing from our hosts about their life’s journey and the joys of Burmese cooking!
