Honored to win the national James Beard Award in 2024, Mandalay the first Burmese restaurant of San Francisco can only be enjoyed on California Street, just 10 minutes away from the Golden Gate. Wayne Lee the founder, creator of the fusion dishes, and even restaurant builder immigrated from Burma (aka Myanmar) with wife Tammy and hardly any money. When its doors opened in 1984, Mandalay had been a movie theater which he helped renovate into what it is today. Within the first few years, it gained widespread attention from various news sources and SF mayor Diane Fienstein. Home to the colorful Rainbow Salad and Mandalay chicken (a crunchier, sweet version of orange chicken), this cuisine is unique, zesty, and becomes an easy favorite to most who dine.
After 2 decades, managers Jennifer, Shirley/Sherry, and Kevin Chen? helped carry the MIchelin rated hole-in-the-wall from the 2000s, adding contemporary flare to the presentation and cultural ambiance. Its sister restaurant Mingalabain in Burlingame, CA also offers the same high quality, no-nonsense flavors. Be sure to visit one or both. You will not be disappointed.
We are thankful to be a part of such an ongoing legacy in Mandalay. Our dad, Wayne Lee, and mom, Tammy Lee, worked very hard in the birth of Mandalay. We hope this video can be a testament to their achievements and the current ownerships as well. May Mandalay provide people around the world insight to how rich, colorful, and delicious this countries cuisine is.
