This has been the restaurant of our choice for beautiful food, wonderful ambience and the people are so nice. We have been going to La Sen for over 10 years. I believe we had our first dinner there when they had just opened the Concord Restaurant before moving to Walnut Creek. We have a special table and they always treat us with such poise and kindness. Love it

We had our Family Holiday luncheon at Burma 2 today. It couldn't have been a more perfect spot. Delicious food to share, plus a leisurely meal without being rushed. We could converse without shouting and the wait staff was friendly and efficient without being overbearing.

Something was a little off. Not quite what I have come to expect from Sasa. Our waitress was very sweet but …. We got the wrong drinks served a few times and some of the dishes we ordered were missed in the initial order.
