"This modest little restaurant amid a panoply of Asian restaurants
on
Clement Street may not look like much, but the food is
outstanding.
The interior looks a little worn, but the idealized scenes of
Burma
and ethnic tapestries add a nice touch."
-- San Francisco Chronicle, "Burma Super Star Restaurant"
from "Northern California's Guide to Arts and Entertainment"
June 22-28, 1997
"Fully on display is the studio's traditional panoply of comic
relief
characters (the vaudeville pairing of wise-guy meerkat Timon and
lumbering warthog Pumbaa), spunky love interests (lioness cub
Nala)
and scary villains (Scar and his troops of Fascist hyenas)."
--from Disney's Broadway production of "The Lion King"
