General Manager

Calling the foodies, the passionate, the inspired, 

At Burma Food Group, it’s more than just a “job” and we are more than just a “company.” We are a small but mighty group of individuals passionate about food, life, people, and culture. We are strong believers that food should be more than just fuel, it should be celebrated, act as a source of discovery, connection, and feed a sense of adventure. 

Burma Food Group is the company behind Burma Superstar, Burma Love, and Burma Bites restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. What started out as a single restaurant with a vision to bring Burmese cuisine to the world, has quickly turned into a family of restaurants, a non-profit organization, as well as a retail line, and this is just the beginning. 

Together we are on a mission to bridge cultures through food, and we want YOU to join us on our mission!
