An intimate venue located in San Francisco's historic Ferry Building
Business Summary what's this?
For four star Burmese, try Burma Super Star in San Francisco. This is a great place. Try this popular spot for cheap eats in the Inner Richmond neighborhood. It's been awarded the Best of Salad and Best of Soup awards. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a casual atmosphere. This place is good for groups. Diners really enjoyed the salads.
