Many years ago, Wifey and I lived in the avenues. at Clement and 2nd. We would have dinner every Friday at Mandalay, then walk it off in the Presidio. Big sigh here, as we had to leave SF to move to Sacramento to care for elderly parents. On occasion, we'd find ourselves in the city, and we'd go stright to Mandalay. We've had nearly everything on the menu, and it's ALL terrific. I won't list the dishes, as everything on the menu is excellent.
Last year, we drove six of our family down to SF. My niece had never been, so we toured them around to all the old haunts and did a typical tourist trip. When dinner came around, we thought we'd try Mandalay, but didn't expect to be able to get a table for eight on a Saturday night. While the relatives parked the gigantic Ford Excess rented for the trip, I poked my head in the door and asked if they could accommodate us on little notice. Incredibly, they recognized me and ushered me in to the big table that was usually covered with newspapers and generally reserved for staff. By the time my family came in, there was tea waiting. We ordered a LOT of food, and the charming and delicate server cheerfully took care of us like long lost friends. She brought us everything we ordered, gave us seconds of the most favorite dishes, and even comped a number of plates of chef only delicacies. We were blown away at the service, the food and the gracious manner. The family looked at Judy and I with renewed respect and I don't think I've ever felt so proud. Silly, I know, but it felt great to have showed them such a good time. My 14 yr old niece even put her phone away and participated-a first!
My only complaint is that they didn't have any means to roll our overstuffed carcasses to the Ford.
I sent them a letter with a profusion of thanks. I will never forget Mandalay.
I was happily pleased when I went to Mandalay last night. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful as well.
The coconut rice mixed with the ginger lamb and fried battered squash sticks was a great mixture of tastes and smells.
The Mandalay noodles had a taste that just made me happy.
I woke up this morning and polished off the leftovers, and they are still great!
I can't wait to go back.
Love Love Love this place! I was craving Burmese food the other day and my boyfriend took me here. The food was delicious. We ordered "boo thee kyaw" (deep fried squash), "A Mea Tha Hyn" (beef curry), "ba la tha" (fried flat bread), "La Pet" (dried tea leaf mix) and jasmine rice. My boyfriend and I were so full after stuffing our faces with this goodness. The "boo thee kyaw" was fried to perfection! And the dipping sauce was so yummy.
Not only was the food delicious but the staff was so friendly. I was so pleased that the owner/manager knew how to speak Burmese. Its nice to know that there are authentic Burmese people running this restaurant. Also, throughout the dinner I spoke to them in Burmese and they were kind enough to give us free desert!
Mandalay is such a great restaurant. I'm definitely going back!
Ok, I'm not going to say get into any details about the food because I think that's been well covered by all the other reviews. Its fantastic, plain and simple. I would give it 5 stars except for the one caveat explained further below. The tea leaf or ginger salads are a must--if you haven't have Burmese food this is dish you've probably never experienced or would ever think possible. Don't pass these up! In addition to the ginger salad, we ordered the Balada(like a Roti),basil shrimp and Rangoon Lamb(I love that they serve lamb on the menu). All were amazingly flavorful and the three of us left very happy campers.
But then the MSG kicked in.
I'm making an assumption that they use MSG as I didn't ask, but judging from the way we all felt afterwards, I'm 99% certain that they use it quite generously. I'm particularly sensitive to MSG and passed out for an unintended hour long nap shortly thereafter. I should have asked, but now I know better. Believe it or not, most Asian restaurants still use MSG--just ask and you'll be amazed.
But it was so delicious that I won't even think twice about not going back. I'll simply request dishes without MSG or plan for a nap afterwards. It really was that delicious.
Never been to Burma Superstar because I refuse to wait in lines, but I can't imagine it could be better than this place.
Had potstickers, mango salad, and maybe the tea salad (whatever's the 1st thing on the salad menu), which was awesome.
I fell in love tonight!! I can barely move right now, i had to finish everything on my plate. it was THAT good.
I had always wanted to eat here since moving to the neighborhood and finally got the chance.
Ending up splitting these dishes:
1. Chicken lettuce cup
2. Ong No Kaw Soi soup
3. Ragoon beef
4. Paluda
which were all amazing. I have to say the soup was my all time favorite! It was a chicken coconut soup with cilantro and lemon!! SO YUMMY!!
The lettuce cups were good as well, but i think everywhere i go they're tasty.
The ragoon beef was with peppers, onion, tomato, lemon and we ordered it with the coconut rice. The beef itself was super tasty and went very well with the rice.
The paluda was almost a dessert soup! It was coconut milk with vanilla ice cream, tapioca, peanuts and paluda syrup. Still very interesting and cooling and sweet; perfect end to a perfect meal!!
Will be returning often since it's in my hood.....
This place was delicious. I'm glad I trusted my travel-mates and allowed them to choose Burmese and Mandalay, in particular. I had a Burmese iced tea (which tasted exactly like Thai iced tea) and we ordered chicken satay and veggie potstickers to start. They were decent. We also ordered Ong No Kaw Soi (coconut noodle soup) and Chin Hin Yee (Burmese Hot & Sour Soup), which were excellent.
Then, they brought out the entrees: beef curry, sizzling shrimp and Mandalay beef with coconut rice and balada. So much deliciousness! I was regretting the appetizers because I didn't have enough room to keep eating the Mandalay beef. I don't know how they get it that way, but it was so crunchy, never soggy, never greasy, topped off with a delicious savory sauce. It paired wonderfully with the coconut rice. And the balada? Yes! You want this. I have a love of all savory pancakes and this is certainly no exception. Crispy on the outside, slightly chewy on the inside. Soooo good.
Sadly, we didn't have room for dessert. This place was easily the best meal was had in SF.
:-)
If all Burmese food is like this, then I'm sold! .....Sold to the highest Burmese bidder! Burma or what we now call Myanmar, seems to be in much turmoil. You hear about it on the radio all the time. Here's a tip: Turn off the radio and head on over to Mandalay! Experience the cuisine of South East Asia.
I haven't eaten much Burmese food.. Just what I've ordered at fusion restuarants.. but according to friends that frequent other Burmese restaurants this place is the shit! I must say its TASTY... and will be the "hero" to judge all others.
My brothers mother-in-law brought the whole family out here to experience this restaurant. She's high profile, so we got special treatment... (privacy and dishes that aren't on the menu.)
And what an experience!

The string beans are EXCELLENT here and I've been ordering them at other places ever since (none as good as Mandalays). The flavor profiles are slightly different from the Chinese cuisine that most would want to categorize this food with...
Burmese Cuisine is a mixture of foods from China, India and Thailand, and yet none of the foods are exactly what you'd expect from any of those regions (I hear the difference is in the preparation.)
Because the region of Mandalay is inland, most of the dishes at the Mandalay restaurant are poultry and meat.. You'll find Burmese cuisines from the coastal areas predominantly seafood--and yet the Mandalay Restaurant has excellent fish and seafood dishes as well.
I'd suggest coming in a large group so that you can order many different entrees. If your considering this for the first time check out their menu. Get a feel for the dishes prior to making your reservation.
http://www.mandalaysf....
The Curry Catfish is excellent as well as the Rangoon Spicy Fish..... the Dry Pan Fried String Beans with Tofu makes for a memorable bean dish unlike any other! I enjoyed the Mandalay Eggplant as well as the Mango Chicken and Basil Beef! Oh.. and order the coconut rice! I've been trying to make this dish at home.. to no avail.
4 Stars! But damn are they close. Bring a date.. or a large group! The Mandalay Restaurant is very accommodating (and to a fault try to please too many people with some of their antics. I've never heard them sing the happy bday song?! But whatever. Your here for the food.. right?)
4 Woofs! mmmmmmmmmm.. Me likey Southeast Asia!
I am a regular at Mandalay, almost every other week i am craving for some burmese food already. Owners are really nice and friendly. Food is just delicious! My favs - Moo hin gar (fish chowder soup), Nan gyi touk (noodle) and mandalay chicken salad is always what I'd start with. It's the best Burmese food in town right now. I am from Burma and I'd say Mandalay is the closest to authentic Burmese food in town! Give it a try people, the que is not as bad as Burma Superstar and yet the food is even tastier! yummm.....
Mandalay is absolutely delicious food. Sometimes at night I dream of the balada (order it!). I always feel like I'm getting a special treat when I go there, and like I"m so smart for not waiting in line on Clement St.!
The best time to go is during the week. On the weekends its a bit crowded (never a terrible wait like burma superstar, though), its not hard to get a table but, when its crowded in there it is very slow to get your food, which can be tortuous because everything smells so good! So - not so great on a Friday at 7pm. But always delicious, spacious, comfortable, AND takeout is great (also kinda slow - give them like 40 minutes to make it:)
Some of my favorites are Mandalay Chicken, Mandalay Special Noodle, and obviously Balada!
I never knew this place existed until my half-Burmese friend took me here. It's delicious. Probably my favorite Burmese place I've tried thus far!
When we arrived, there was a ten minute wait, but they seated us promptly! We ordered:
-Moo Hin Nga (Fish Chowder)
-Chicken Samusa (pretty good; the dipping sauce is delicious . . . don't expect much chicken!
-Mandalay Beef (very tasty and filling)
-Dry Pan Fried String Bean (very good)
The price range is reasonable . . . although I don't know how much our bill came out to since he paid for us. Ha. Minus one for not being very attentive and taking a while to bring the bill.
When you think Burmese... people think of Burma Superstar or B-Star, owned by the same people, and a long wait. But if you don't want to wait, a good alternative is Mandalay.
Spicy somosa soup is a must
Roti - not the same as you get in an Indonesian restaurant. This one is more like a pancake
Egg plant was good
Brown rice you can't mess up and if you did you should get out of the kitchen
Sangria was good, but the wait staff didn't know what was in it
The decor was nice, well lite, and was an easy place to talk. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly.
I was in SF yesterda for the day with a group of friends. We researched a good neighborhood restaurant that would offer SF's world renowned food, at a decent price point, with local flair, and that would offer an adventurous diversion from the norm.
We settled on Burmese at Mandalay in Inner Richmond. Our choice was spot on. This place is a warm family owned and run joint with fresh ingredients, depth of flavor and home-style treatment. And it was a new kind of cuisine for all of us!
The tea leaf salad was one of the most interesting and delicate new dishes I've tasted in a while. The lemongrass chicken noodle dish was outstanding, as was the catfish curry, green beans with garlic, egglplant, ginger lamb... on and on.
Don't forget to try the coconut rice and the ginger lemonade!
We ate our weight in food, fed 6 people on $180 (inc. tax and tip) -- and didn't feel tired and bloated for the rest of the day! Wonderful place.
While this place is a little pricey for the amount, what isn't in SF? That being said, when my Aunts took me and my mom here the first time, we were sold. We left it up to them to order their usual dishes, and seeing how they knew the owners, we trusted that we were in good hands.
The food was good, a little salty, but still good. The coconut rice was delicious, just enough sweetness but still savory. I love the samosas...by FAR my favorite dish of all the ones I've tried from here (we went back a couple times and showed other family members). I also like their burmese iced tea, its similar to thai tea except not as sweet and i think they might use evaporated milk instead of half&half.
I think what really sold me was how cute this place is. The decor is great and gives a nice vibe, almost like you're on vacation for the time being. The middle row of tables are really cute for dates. It's almost cubicle-like, but in a good way, you feel like you're in a private little nook.
Going with people that know the owner was a big plus, we ended up getting free goodies with our meal. I will definitely be going back to this place whenever I'm in SF
Mandalay feels a bit like a Burmese version of TGI Fridays. They've got drinks with umbrellas, they sing happy birthday to birthday diners with a pre-recorded background track on the speakers, and the menu has helpful little pictures of each dish.
That all said, the food is pretty good. We had the ginger salad, the papusa salad, and the Mandalay Special Noodles. The ginger salad was nice, though ultimately not as good as you find at Nan Yang in Rockridge (full disclosure: I've been going to Nan Yang since I was a kid when it used to be in Oakland Chinatown, so I have strong and undoubtedly biased memories of the food). The pupusa salad was a waste of time -- it just didn't work on any level. The Mandalay noodles were really nice and are clearly the "no-brainer" dish you're supposed to order every time you go.
We finished it all off with fried bananas and ice cream. If I had known it was going to be strawberry ice cream rather than coconut, I never would have bothered. Still, dessert is dessert, and I'll eat it without too much complaining.
Super tasty and very sweet, friendly service. We had the rainbow salad, mandalay noodles and the basil eggplant. They were all good, we LOVED the noodles and the eggplant was more Chinese but still good. They even gave us a free dessert of mango pudding. We will be back to try more things on the menu. Oh, our total was $30 or so.
As everyone says, Mandalay is much better than Burma Superstar. For 5 people, we got the Mandalay special noodles, mango chicken, mandalay beef, and spicy eggplant. They brought out the dishes as soon as they were ready, one at a time, so we were all excited for what was to come next as we were finishing up the previous dish. The portions are small and pricey, but we were all content. And if you get in before 7, you're guaranteed a seat (Saturday night dinner). Servers are all really nice and friendly too. Burmese and Mandarin food also make a good, heated debate about international politics while you wait for the food...wouldn't recommend it though haha.
Why go to Burma Superstar when this is in the neighborhood? We showed up at Burma Superstar at 5:30 PM on a rainy Sunday with a group of six, and were told that the wait was 1.5 hours long. We were actively encouraged to go to a "sister" restaurant a few blocks down but was more Vietnamese than Burmese (then what's the point?)
Fortunately one of the folks in our group knew about Mandalay, so we walked over, were promptly seated, and had a delicious meal! Good green papaya salad, tasty beef curry, a very tasty Paluda desert that reminded me of its namesake (falooda) from India and a very friendly waitstaff. $100 for a group of six. The next time I need a Burmese fix, I'm coming to California Street, not Clement!
Great food! I'd come here to avoid the wait at Burma Superstar. Service, however, is definitely not as efficient.
JONASAPPROVED!
ok, I will agree with the other 4 and 5 star reviews that the food is good. I especially liked the coconut noodle soup and cat fish soup. Very tastey. HOWEVER, you need to be aware that you get very little noodles. That was a major disappointment for me and that's where they fell short a star. The entree dishes weren't outstanding, they were ok. The tea leaf salad was also on the small side.
I've eaten at other Burmese places and Mandalay's portions are on the smaller side.
Not nearly as good as Burma Superstar, nothing exceptional about the dishes and certainly not worth the drive and hassle of parking.
I have been on quite the Burmese kick lately, and it's no wonder why! My Burmese education started a mere 7 months ago when I was introduced to Burma Superstar. Since then, I have been experiencing non stop cravings for sauteed veggies in chili sauce, rainbow & tea leaf salads, and sticky rice with cinnamon.
The endless amounts of vegetarian options that I still want to try include spicy eggplant and pea shoots with garlic. The menu is insatiably long and more than ample for moods that include chicken, lamb, beef, seafood and veggie cravings.
Service was very nice and informative and complementary dessert was served.
Tip: *Try the Sangria and the Lemon Ginger Beer. Great cocktails for $4.50!
I had a birthday dinner for my daughter for 12 people. Althought the menu I had pre-ordered was not ready when my party arrived and I had to re-order, the service was still excellent. The food is outstanding, light and savory with new and exotic flavors. Burmese is the new Thai!
This place in SF has replaced my local favorite Kirin in SR. This is a chinese restaurant but we oredered mostly Chinese items. We had the sizzling rice soup which was just awesome. They added the rice at the table and served us, which was a nice touch. Best Mongolian Beef I have ever had. Madalay Chicken was fantastic, as well as the Basil Prawns. I will do my best to make it back as soon as possible.
Fate led me to this very restaurant.
It happened when I took a cab to Burma Superstar. After chatting up with the driver, he gave me two bits of advice: eat at Mandalay and don't sleep around. Duly noted.
So a few weeks later, I was exploring the Richmond and poked my head into the Boudin Bakery, to which then a baker gave a friend and I each a loaf of sourdough bread.
With that bread we skipped around California Street, poking our noses in the different eateries until we fell upon Mandalay. Quickly I remembered the cab driver's advice and we went in.
Inside, there were many parties waiting for a table, a half hour wait at least. As we sat down, munching on our sourdough breads to appease our grumbling tummys, I noticed a woman eyeing the bread.
"Would you like some?" I asked.
"Yes!" she replied. Apparently she had been waiting for sometime too.
After grabbing enough to temporarily withstand her hunger, the waiter showed her party to their table. Since a few of her friends couldn't make it, she insisted that my friend and I join her group for dinner.
So we did. We had the walnut prawns and utterly delightful tea salad (which I hope to recreate at home.) We had nice conversations with strangers turned friends and glad I followed the signs that took me to Mandalay.
I forgot how much I enjoy this place.
While BurmaSuperstar - will always be the most Super of spots as far as Burmese spots in the area - this place pulls out the stops and definitely delivers when it comes to affordable, well cooked, fresh Burmese food without the wait.
And to be a straight-shooter with you - just order the below items and you'll be set.
1.) The rainbow salad. Get it - if just to hear the elaborate makeup of ingredients and have them studiously mix it in front of you.
2.) Mango Chicken - Mango + gently fried pieces of chicken = Get it.
3.) Walnut and Tofu Dish - Even if you're not a fan of tofu - the sweet sauce and walnut bits will win you over. Just Get it.
4.) Coconut Rice - Nough said. Just Get it.
5.) Mango and Sticky Rice - they use fresh mango and the sticky rice is a gelatinous patty of goodness. Simply put. Just Get it.
So yeah get your butt over to Mandalay. Don't wait in a crazy long line at BurmaSuperstar if you're dying with hunger. The food here is almost as good, the service friendly, and if you order wisely (ie: follow my advice) - you'll leave happy and full.
Trust.

Best place to eat! LOVE IT!
Mandalay special number 3 and green papaya salad
Staff is SO GOOD to guests . . . they treat you so WELL!!!!
I love a good balance mixture of sweeet & spiccceeey sabor en mi mouth!! ok it's no way near central american to bust some spanglish, but my instructor tells me to practice as much as I can, so bare with me yelpers :) My favorite dish would have to be the mango chicken!! who would of thought mango right? but its sooo good and the pumpkin curry!! the food is naturally spicy, so if your a fan of muy caliente then you can amp it up when you order, just ask. Ohh and i always always order the fresh coconut milk with tapioca. It's made out of a real coconut tree they have in their kitchen, you know when you order the chef tells his little monkey kazu to pick the nicest and ripest coconut to delivery! and it's only 3 dollars.
I love this place. The food is just as good as Burma Superstar but there is almost never a wait and it might be a little cheaper too.
I recommend the rainbow chicken, tea leaf salad and coconut rice. So good.
Parking can be a pain but I can usually find a spot on Lake St.
Mandalay has food that meets expectations; Not excellent, but good. For anyone who has tried Burma Superstar, Mandalay can be described as Burma Superstar / 2. It's about half the price and half the excitement.
VERY IMPRESSED: My first observation is how well the staff cleans the tables after each customer. They actually use a cleaning agent. Very impressive as certain un-named low-class restaurants in the area, use customer's left over tea and dirty napkins to clean the tables after each use.
The waitstaff is very friendly. They are professional and efficient in operation. The waitress who took our order didn't have the need to write anything down and she made no mistakes. WOW... I would forget everything!
The food has flavor and good texture. I must point out that we placed an order for cocoanut rice ($2.00 a person) and I would not recommend this item. Perhaps it was a one-time fluke, but the rice appeared under cooked. It was hard to chew and had too much cream with very little cocoanut flavor.
My only other complaint is that the restaurant is a bit cramped. They try to accommodate as many guests as possible. I prefer my space. When I want to be near strangers, I take Muni.
Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and I would recommend people try it out while in the area.
We love this place, and were lucky enough to have our rehearsal dinner here. Mandalay became one of our favorite restaurants because of their great (and eclectic food) and their even better service. Come here a few times and the owner will know your name, and a few of your favorite dishes. Be sure to check out the Mandalay Noodles (the dish that hooked us), Banana Blossom Salad (not on the menu but very refreshing), and the rainbow fish.
Lastly, they did a fantastic job handling our 45 person rehearsal dinner. Very flexible, since we were about 45 minutes late, they were very patient with us and let us take our time.
This is the first place I tried Burmese food, overall it was a great food and great experience.
I've eaten hear twice and loved it both times. The salad there is good, i forgot what it's called but they bring it to your table and mix it for you, with flare too. Of course the mandalay chickens real good, basil garlic anything is good. The servers there are really nice and courteous. Even the owner, I believe helped served us when the servers were backed up, that kind of relationship with your customer is rare.
TWO THUMBS UP!
After trekking it all the way out to the Richmond for what we thought was going to be a delicious Cambodian meal, we found out out destination had closed two month earlier, so we instantly whipped out yelp to find something nearby that we'd enjoy. After much arguing over not much of anything, we settled on Burmese food and headed over to burma superstar. But wait, this review is about Mandalay. BS had about a 1.5 hour wait, and we were not about to stand in billowing fog for that long on an empty stomach, so we walked the three blocks over to Mandalay, which will happily inform you that they were the first Burmese restaurant in the city. We were seated within 10 minutes and were please with the number of vegetarian options and delicious drinks.
I ordered the coconut tapioca drink to start with, which in retrospect, may not have been the greatest idea. If was definitely delicious, beyond delicious even... but should have come with a warning label **dessert.
We'd heard their tea leaf salad was divine, but ended up getting the veggie version of the ginger salad, which was great if you like ginger, and I mean really like ginger. I ate 75% of mine before succumbing. Along with the salad we also had the onion pancake appetizer with it;s magic and delicious sauce. There is nothing better than a god onion pancake with delicious sauce.
For main course the four of us ordered three dishes, the tofu with broccoli and walnuts, Mandalay noodle w/ tofu, and some spicy tofu. It was the perfect amount for the four of us, my favorite was definitely the tofu with broccoli and walnuts, my leave favorite was probably the noodle, but only because I was already full when it arrived, and it again had more ginger in it than I'm accustomed to ingesting. all in all though, it was a very successful meal, I would definitely come back again.
The only thing I would like to see change about this place is their Happy Birthday ritual. There were three of them in the course of our dinner, and they just blast the music for it, and it becomes annoying the third time around.
The best sampling of Burmese cuisine I've had to date. The Mandalay Special Noodles are so good you'll be telling everyone at your table, like how they do in the Cheez-It commercials, "get your own box," but in this case it would be "plate." Seriously, this dish is so good you'll find it difficult to share and you'll want to eat it all on your own. The balada (roti) and curry dipping sauce is also some of the best roti I've had and they don't skimp on the portions. Salads: the rainbow salad is very good and the tea leaf salad is also a winner but will have your jaws sore when you've finished from all the chomping and crunching on all of the nuts and seeds. The pumpkin curry with chicken is quite delicious. Moo hin nga soup is a tasty option if you are looking for a relatively light starter to your meal.
The service here is always great, friendly and super polite.
It was their Tea Leaf Salad that will forever be the first time food gave me a visible emotional reaction. Eating that salad was a life changing, palette transforming experience for me. I have never had food make me so happy, so joyous, so incredibly relaxed.
While my friends were upset at how long it took for the food to come, I was somewhere else -- on cloud nine with the mango salad and then the tea leaf salad.
Unreal, folks. Unreal.
Ordered dinner to-go the other night. I had the tea leaf salad and the Mandalay Special Noodle dish. When you order these dishes to-go, they separate the sauces in containers from the noodles and salad so everything will stay fresh until you want to eat it.
The tea leaf salad was not as good as Yellow Pa Taut's salad.
The Mandalay Noodle was really good. It consists of "Burmese fat noodle with mild coconut chicken, yellow peas, powder lime juice, onion, and fried thin noodle on the top." The chicken was soaked with the coconut sauce which I can basically drink.
Delicious, really unique good foods. Kinda an ugly restaurant though otherwise 5 stars.
I've been here twice. The first time my friend took me here around 8:45 pm on a weekday night -- only a few tables were occupied when we entered. The second time was with my husband on a Saturday night....very long wait and we were late for our movie. Even when we were seated it took forever to get our dishes....
My point it...avoid coming here during peak times...just like Burma Superstar (although not as a long of a wait)
Ok...the food...is excellent.
I recommend the Mandalay Noodles (I've only had the chicken) my favorite dish!! They mix all the ingredients at your table and I would describe the flavor as creamy -- almost thai -- with a kick of citrus, cilantro, and even nuts. The noodles look like linguini...interesting.
The Mango chicken is also really really good!!!
I don't remember what else I ate...but these 2 are the most memorable! I'll be back!
One of the best south east Asian restaurants in SF.
Best mango chicken in town. Singaporean noodles is amazing too.
Samusa soup gives Burma-superstar very good competition.
I ordered food for 20 people. Food was amazing and their service is awesome. Very impressed.
The service is a little slow, but the staff is friendly and the food is outstanding. The balada with curry dipping sauce is especially good.
