Burma 2 is such a great spot! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The portions are perfect for sharing and make it easy to order family-style. The staff is friendly, and I love that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's also a great place to bring kids--casual, welcoming, and easygoing. Our favorites were definitely the mango chicken and coconut rice! We'll definitely be back. read more

Made an impromptu visit to Walnut Creek for the evening and were starving by the end of the night. We walked by many options and finally settled with Burma 2. No regrets. Everything was delicious -- we got the Tea Leaf Salad, Burmese Chicken Curry, Lemongrass Chicken, and the Mint Jalapeño Chicken. All of them were super tasty, and they were able to adjust the spiciness to our preferred level. The Lemongrass Chicken was meant for the kids but it was my favourite too... along with the Tea Leaf Salad of course. Oh and the coconut jasmine rice was really good too! My husband got the Crazy Coconut cocktail and the rum came on the side, which was perfect because he could control how strong the drink was. If you're in the area, definitely stop by here - all their dishes are fantastic. read more

Been here twice. The first time, I got a take-out of the minted jalapeno chicken - highly recommend this one. More recently, I went back with a family-friend for dinner, to introduce her to Burmese food. We got the tea-leaf salad and the dry curry with lamb. Both dishes were quite tasty, the only downside being that the food was very oily (literally coated in oil). Any of these portions for dinner are quite shareable. The service is very friendly, with a pleasant ambiance. I'd eat here very regularly if they can cut-down on the oil (no reason to use that much oil). Else, it would have to be a very rare meal. read more

We dropped in on a Saturday evening to see if anything has changed since they moved to the new corner location. Well, no... the interior is nice but crowded and loud. The service was good. But, as we consistently experience in WC, the restaurants cater to a 'bland' palate. We specifically requested Thai spice (very spicy) for our dishes and what we got was flat and flavorless. Our server brought us a separate little dish with chili paste which we emptied and even that was not very spicy... Sorry WC patrons you have no idea what you are missing. read more

Can I give Seven Stars?! Once in a rare while, one's experience is way above and beyond one's expectations! Thanks to Justin (Director of Operations) and Andy (Asst. General Manager), we were the fortunate ones yesterday! Rest of the story: we booked the entire restaurant for a lunch event on Sunday. With about 70 guests, the event went exceptionally smoothly and everyone had a great time! Not even one unhappy guest! The food, as usual, was exceptional. Justin personally tended the bar - with his staff - and kept everyone happy with their exotic cocktails. The fresh coconuts were so delicious and popular that I later heard them tell each other: "coconuts are 86!" He even made a very selective guest happy with a special sipping tequila! What made the most impact was their attitude. They dealt exceptionally well with demanding customers and cheerfully served the rest! Andy helped plan the event with cocktails, appetizers, mains and desserts. They suggested creating a Spotify playlist for the event and that worked great. From the beginning till the end, their flexibility, attitude and willingness to make every possible effort to make it a great event was obvious! Seven stars! read more

Mid week dinner and it was perfect! We had a choice of either their beautiful outside seating or indoor seating! We chose to sit inside one of the booth kind for its coziness! The staff was quite helpful and checked in on us for water service! This is a family style dinner - share! Since this was a light dinner, we went with the lettuce wrap appetizer - Oh boy!!! We fought for it to the last kernel of meat! The fresh and crunchiness of the lettuce mixed with the protein and hoisin sauce - perfect combination! Then we went with the garlic noodles - no protein - traditional no need for protein but the shining glory was the tea salad! Loved the mixture and taste it self! I had leftovers for lunch. Dessert was a bit on the $$. We opted for mango ice cream. If you're an ice cream fanatic - their mango was so tasty! Overall good price points and shareable plates!!! Coming back to try some other dishes! Tip for dining on a shoestring! We didn't order any drinks and by the time we plait the 4 dishes - affordable! read more

Years later and still consistently one of my fav restaurants. We just got it doordashed for the first time and it was still bomb.

Even the frickin water is elite! read more

Burma 2 in Walnut Creek was a great dining experience, especially for plant-based eaters. I should note that my entire meal was vegan since I was sharing with my partner, so this review doesn't reflect the non-vegan options. We started with the tea leaf salad, which was incredible. It came pre-mixed and was perfectly crunchy, fresh, and full of flavor. I honestly couldn't get enough of it. Next, we ordered the basil tofu with coconut rice. The basil tofu was bold and flavorful, and paired beautifully with the coconut rice. It was my first time trying coconut rice, and I absolutely loved it. The little crunchy toppings on top really made it pop. We asked for medium heat on the basil tofu, which didn't feel too spicy to me, so we requested extra sauce, which gave it the kick I was looking for. That said, I love spicy food, so medium heat may be just right, or even a bit much, for others. We also tried the Burma noodle. The server let us know ahead of time that it's typically served lukewarm, which we appreciated. It was good, but not as flavorful as the other dishes. Since we both gravitate toward bold flavors, this one felt a bit lacking in comparison. We agreed it would actually make a great leftover dish. We also ordered a drink, one of the spicy cocktails, though I sadly forgot the name. It was something unique that we hadn't seen before. My partner loved it, and after a sip, I could see why. It was refreshing, flavorful, and paired really well with the food. Everything smelled amazing from the moment it hit the table, and overall, this is definitely a place we'd return to. The vegan options were plentiful and genuinely satisfying, and I never felt like I was missing out by not ordering a non-vegan dish, which says a lot since I'm not vegan, but my partner is. We also noticed a family meal special advertised on the wall for $70, which felt like a great deal. That's something we'll likely try if we do take out. read more

Great size shareable dishes. Came with my bestie for a late lunch/ early dinner therefore we missed the crowd. They have friendly service and went above what I expected when accommodating a food allergy. Plenty of space between you and the next party with spacious tables. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

So MOST of what we ordered was fantastic. Get the TEA LEAF SALAD. It's great. Get the Basil & Dried Chile (beef) - burst of flavor. Get the Burmese Shrimp - delish. Pass on the Garlic Noodles & pass on the Calamari appetizer. The service was lightning fast. Almost too fast but I don't know that it's a bad thing. The fried banana with ice cream & desert platha were good as well. Place in located on Main St & they have their own little parking spot. All metered parking. read more

After spending the morning at Ruth Bancroft Garden having a Burmese meal sounds like a good plan. We ordered grilled salmon with lemon grass, tea leaf salad, garlic noodle, and Indian basmati rice. I think only the tea leaf is worth repeating. I didn't really taste any lemon grass in the salmon. Garlic noodle is like a wet pasta soaked in tomato sauce. It did say that it will be different than the Vietnamese garlic noodle, which is fine but I am not fond too much of the flavor. Tge salmon and the noodle taste almost the same. Service was pretty good. Love the outdoor seating. But I don't think I will come here again for Burmese experience. read more

We came here about an hour before closing and it wasn't too busy. The service was really good and we had a great time. They didn't rush us at all. Food was good - a little hit or miss - but mostly good. The pineapple fried rice, and pad Thai were mediocre, but the eggplant was very good. Desserts were delicious. read more

Went for a later weeknight dinner at Burma 2, and we were warmly welcomed and seated right away. Service started right and was really terrific throughout the meal. The gentleman running the front of the house and our server were both professional and attentive, including ensuring that our water glasses were full and that checking in about our meal. We also took at advantage of their free Sinha beer promo (you get reimbursed $6 online after the meal). We really enjoyed the Burmese curry with lamb over coconut rice, with the curry being mild and thinner but with excellent Burmese flavors and tender chunks of lamb. The sautéed eggplant was also very good, with fresh eggplant complemented by spices and herbs. The palate was also flaky and great to dip into the curry. While we've taken out from Burma 2 several times, it was great to eat in and take advantage of the wonderful service and to eat the dishes fresh out of the kitchen! read more

It's a bit hard to find parking in the area. There's street parking around but this area is good about giving tickets if you're not on top of feeding the meter. The service was top notch and everyone was not only nice but super quick to get us water and orders in as soon as we were ready. Their walnut shrimp is basically honey walnut prawns. The broccoli and chicken was a healthy option for us with vegetables and protein. It was a tiny bit on the bland side for my taste. The favorite was the garlic noodles that comes with a sweet sauce on the side that you can add to taste. It was garlicky enough and the noodles were perfectly textured. The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. The food was good but it was average. read more

Delicious Burmese cuisine, friendly attentive service, pleasant upscale ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit here today ! We came here just for a light lunch. They have a menu with lunch combos, but we elected to order from their dinner/standard menu. We chose: Eggplant & Garlic: For veggies, we selected the "Eggplant & Garlic" dish that combines big slices of eggplant stir fried in a hot wok with garlic, ginger, basil, so sauce and sambal chili. Can't go wrong with that, and sure enough, it was tasty to the last spoonful of the sauce reduction.. The flavors were bang-on great. I might consider adding the shrimp next time, as the sauce reminded me strongly of a dish I had like this in Singapore. SOLID 5/5! For the Eggplant dish as with the curries, I recommend ordering them with a bowl of rice - they have brown rice, jasmine (white) rice, and basmati rice - take your pick. We played it safe with just the jasmine (white) rice - two bowls split between the three of us. Pumpkin Curry: Our other entree was the Pumpkin Curry with an optional meat of your choice (chicken, beef, lamb or shrimp) - or with tofu/veggies if you want to go vegetarian. We chose the chicken, which was presented in thin slices of white meat that was super tender and moist. - Perfectly prepared. Asides from the chicken, the pumpkin curry also includes kobacha squash, coconut milk, broccoli, tender slices of carrot and bay leaf. This too was Excellent (5/5).. We don't get out to this part of the world much, but I definitely look forward to coming back here if I am anywhere nearby, or maybe I'll just make a special trip!. Yup. Highly recommended in my book! read more

Sometimes I'll flash back to their tea leaf salad, with the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Yum. The food is always delicious, and they have the BEST customer service. Appreciate that they went out of their way to accommodate my elderly mother with her mobility and auditory issues, despite being very busy. read more

Great Food! Staff is ok, they could be a little more talkative or friendly. Bathrooms suck, you can't tell if it's dirty or if they're older than dirt. Either way you feel like something is gonna grab onto your dangers and pull you in. I would like to give this place 5 stars. But the fact that they are too cheap to keep their bathrooms clean and their servers look at you like you're an undesirable maybe because you don't look like them? I have to lower my score. read more

I feel bad leaving a 3 star review because the food and the ambience was really good here. First of all, there's no system to record who came first and how to put your name down etc. secondly I think we caught them on a bad night in terms of staffing. We got the mango curry and rice, garlic noodles, tea leaf salad and samosa soup. The main curry came first but it didn't come with the rice. It sat there and got cold for 10 mins before the rice came. The appetizers came only in the end. The hostess was short and she just seemed busy. I understand. The waitress was nice enough but was absent during most of our meal. She seemed to be waiting many tables. However she told my 7 yo she'll get ice cream after dinner 3 different times, which was sort of uncalled for. Then my kid decided she wanted it (because which kid says no to ice cream!) And we were forced to buy it. Why keep mentioning it to a kid if you can't afford to just give it. That's a really shallow form of selling things and I don't know if the waitress intended it but we were pretty pissed that she forced us to eat and pay for ice cream. read more

Nice to stop by here when the weather is chilly to get some great Burmese food. The waiters were attentive and there was plenty of seating. Ohno Khao Swe is a must-try-- perfectly spiced and aromatic, soothing on a cold day. The tea leaf salad was yummy as well-- fresh leaves and nice crunch. The roti with mixed vegetable curry was a miss-- ended up dipping the roti in the Ohno Khao Swe broth... which was pretty good. Would recommend to stop by if you're in the area! read more

Had such a good experience at Burma 2! Everything we ordered was delicious--the tea leaf salad was fresh and crunchy, and the coconut palata was amazing with the curry.

3.5 Stars I wasn't a fan of Burma Superstar, but I wanted to give Burmese cuisine another try--and I'm glad I did. Burma 2 made the experience more enjoyable than I remembered. We came on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised there was no wait, even though the place was busy with a few large parties. The atmosphere felt lively but not chaotic, which was a plus. Service was great as they kept checking up on us. The tea leaf salad was light, refreshing, and much better than the version I had at Burma Superstar. It had a great balance of flavors and textures. The Burma Noodle dish was unique and satisfying--definitely my preferred noodle dish of the night. I also tried the garlic noodles with duck, but that was underwhelming. When you hear "garlic noodles," you expect bold, rich garlic flavor. This was pretty bland by comparison, and the duck didn't really elevate it. The Burmese fried chicken came as small fried bites with a basic sweet-and-sour sauce poured over. The mango and fresh veggies were a nice touch, but overall, it didn't wow me. If you like crispy chicken, I'd recommend asking for the sauce on the side. Also tried the Minted Jalapeño Chicken, which was light and flavorful--easy to eat and well-cooked--but surprisingly lacked any noticeable jalapeño heat or flavor. If you're expecting a spicy kick, this probably won't deliver. All in all, Burma 2 was a step up from my previous experience with the cuisine, but some dishes still fell short of expectations. Worth a try if you're curious, but I'd stick to select menu items. read more

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon a little after 1:30pm, and it wasn't busy. It was a little difficult to find parking but we ended up doing metered street parking near the restaurant. Waited about 10 minutes after ordering for the food to arrive! - Burmese Garlic Noodles - enjoyed this! Also thought the portion size was perfect for me, though a bit more chicken would have been nice - Burmese Pad Thai - my friend usually orders pad thai and enjoyed this - Chicken and Shrimp Biryani - my friend's boyfriend ordered this, and he thought it was quite tasty but felt the portion size was a bit small. It does seem like they give you a good amount of protein though I think the dishes are made to be shared family style, because they provided serving utensils to us with each dish, but half of our brains were clearly not functioning, so we ate them with the serving utensils...and didn't bother to unwrap the napkins that contained the actual eating utensils until after we realized our mistake HAHA Overall pretty good and reasonably priced place for Burmese food in Walnut Creek! The environment is quite nice, and it's a great place to eat and catch up with friends. I don't live close by, so not sure if I see myself coming back, but if I'm ever in the area, I'd be down to try other things on their menu! read more

Burma 2 is a well known and visited eating establishment. It has the vibe where locals meet up over a nice meal or drink. Brianna was our server. She was fast and efficient. Everything we ordered (see the photos) was excellent. The stand out dish was the Coconut Chicken Curry Palata. The bread was so so good! I wish they gave more of it. The only thing I didn't care for surprisingly was the Tea Leaf Salad. There was some spice in it that did not set well with my stomach, but I know that it is a favorite for many people. If you come here, know this: -Parking is right outside. Don't forget to pay -Everything you order will be wonderful -Service is excellent -It is loud and hard to hear people at your table -bathrooms needed to be serviced more often Enjoy your visit. I did and I'll be back. Thank you read more

Such a great selection of food here from the tea leaf salad to the black pepper beef which are both packed with flavor. Typically I avoid spicer foods but this restaurant makes it easier to try them.

We celebrated Valentine's Day at Burma 2, and their special menu made the night feel even more memorable. From the first course of samosas and tea leaf or mango salad to the flavorful Burmese curry and perfectly seasoned dishes, every plate was beautifully prepared and full of authentic flavor. The Valentine's set menu was thoughtfully curated, generous in portions, and worth every penny. The Strawberry Pomegranate Mojito and sparkling rosé were the perfect festive touch, and dessert (especially the Shwe Gyi or fried banana with ice cream!) was such a sweet ending. Even on a busy holiday, the ambiance was warm and intimate, and the service never missed a beat. This place truly never disappoints -- one of our favorite spots for special occasions read more
