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. The staff was also incredibly accommodating with my tiny service dog, which made the whole experience even better. It's not always easy dining out with a service animal, so I really appreciated how kind and understanding they were. Definitely recommend! 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

I have two Vegan daughters. Anytime they come into town we visit Burma & Torsap. Top choices for both. Our favorites are: Tea Leaf Salad, Lettuce Wrap Tofu, Garlic Noodles and/or Pad Thai & Eggplant. I always sneak in a Fried Chicken & Burmese Indian Rice for me ;) Ambiance - Outside seating is a great choice and always an attentive staff! Top Restaurant in Walnut Creek. 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. We recently branched out from our go to order and tried the Burmese chicken salad, curry, and a beef dish. You can't miss. Everything is delicious. Service is so on it. Even the frickin water is elite! 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

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

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. I've also tried the chicken curry with walnut shrimp and those were pretty good too. Coconut rice is always a must for a side! Honestly now that I am naming all of these food options, I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. I will happily come back here and try something else :) read more

We were there at lunch time. The lunch specials had a nice sampling of their common dishes. The biryani rice was very flavorful! And don't forget to order a Burmese iced tea too. Service was fast and staff was pleasant. 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

They offer a $70 to-go meal package with two options, and I usually go with the one that includes the mango salad--such a great value. One thing I noticed: when I order through Uber Eats, the portions seem smaller than when I order directly from the restaurant. So I've officially stopped using Uber Eats for this one 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

food & servers were amazing! everyone is so friendly here and quick to meet your needs. each dish we ordered was packed with flavor. i love a good palata and this was that! i could have eaten a whole meal of just palata and left satisfied. chicken & shrimp biryani was also well balanced in flavor, not too dry. the burmese garlic noodles are pretty much what you expect (don't confuse it with vietnamese garlic noodles tho) -- not a heavy presence of garlic but still enjoyable. i got mine with duck, which did feel a bit gamey or a tad overcooked. overall, i definitely see myself coming back! read more

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

Service was attentive and knowledgeable--they explained the dishes and made great recommendations. The cocktails were creative and paired really well with the spices in the food.

Burma 2 - Chicken Burmese Pad Thai, Burmese Garlic Noodles, Basil & Dried Chili Lamb - Burmese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

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

Met some friends here for dinner and it was my first time trying both the restaurant and Burmese food, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The place was busy, but we had a reservation and were seated without any issues. The food was good, though nothing that completely wowed me. The tea leaf salad was definitely unique and something different, and the drinks were well made. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the night. Overall, I'd go back if someone else wanted to, but it's probably not a spot I'd personally choose on my own. 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

Surprisingly delicious Burmese food! I was craving pad thai but wanted to try something different. I'm so glad we found this place on yelp! The service was super friendly. They allowed us to sit at a big round table with a bench which gave us plenty of room to sit on either side of our toddler. They were also super accommodating with the spice options and made sure that everything was served without spiciness for my son. We ordered a coconut-based noodle soup dish which my son absolutely devoured. He also loved the chicken and shrimp biryani (mostly the chicken). He ate his belly full and promptly fell asleep on the bench. Thankfully they didn't rush us out and let us take our time to get him into his stroller and out the door. All in all a great experience and I'll definitely be back. read more

We ordered a few dishes to share. This location has a small parking lot next to the restaurant but it was full so we parked in the street with a parking meter. Tea Leaf Salad - this was my fave. it has the right amount of flavors and the crunch. Would come back just to order the salad Salt N Pepper Chicken wings - crispy and juicy. It was good with some drizzle of the sweet chili sauce Pan Fried Salmon - over cooked and not a lot of flavors. It came with the side spicy dipping sauce. Too spicy for my liking Burma noodles - my least liking. It is too grainy and not enough veggies and tofu. Not recommended Burma Shrimp - very salty. I wished this was less salty because I like shrimp stir fry Overall, my favorite dish was the tea leaf salad and salt n pepper chicken wings. Everything was not as good as I expected. Service is good and food is mediocre read more

We saw this on Check, Please! and had to give it a try since it was so close. The food was amazing! The lettuce wrap with shrimp had all this amzing textures and flavors with each bite. The lemongrass chicken definitely had a kick, but in a good way. The sesame beef was sweet and crunchy. The home style fried rice was a pleasant surprise with the beand and tumeric, so yummy!! Unfortunately they didn't have any dessert available that night. But everything was delicious. Not cheap, we were well over $80 for 2 of us, but worth it! (and we ate a lot) Service was nice and the place was clean. Will have to return and try more! read more

don't think I've ever had Burmese food before, so I wasn't sure what to expect -- but since I enjoy Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine, I figured it might be somewhat similar. We came on a Saturday night and the place was lively, though not overly crowded -- plenty of energy with a few open seats left. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: tea leaf salad, Burma noodle, garlic noodle with duck, Burmese fried chicken, and minted jalapeño chicken. * Tea Leaf Salad - My favorite of the night. Refreshing, bright, and layered with textures -- lots of crunch, lots of flavor. It really stood out as something unique to Burmese cuisine. * Burma Noodle - Another standout. Flavorful, refreshing, and full of different ingredients that tied the dish together. A touch of citrus made it especially vibrant. * Minted Jalapeño Chicken - Reminded me of Thai basil chicken stir fry, but it lacked depth in flavor. The jalapeño added texture but surprisingly little heat. * Garlic Noodles with Duck - The most underwhelming. Hardly any garlic flavor, and the duck felt like it was just placed on top rather than incorporated into the dish. * Burmese Fried Chicken - Crispy and tasty, but essentially sweet-and-sour popcorn chicken. Good, but it didn't feel distinctly Burmese. Overall, the tea leaf salad and Burma noodle made the meal worth it. The other dishes were less memorable, but I'd still come back if I'm in Walnut Creek again -- especially to keep exploring more of the menu. read more

I came here with my best friend for lunch on a Sunday. We split the eggplant & garlic, lemongrass chicken, and a bowl of coconut rice. The food was pretty solid, and the coconut rice was especially delicious. I think they executed the coconut rice really well here, as it was balanced and not overly sweet or salty. I would've preferred the eggplant & garlic with whole cloves rather than minced garlic, as it should be more for flavour, but overall not bad. read more

The 5 stars review goes to the male waiters, they are absolutely amazing and friendly! I went here with my mom and my "talkative" fur baby today. The male waiter first helping us to sit down and set up the heater for my mom, weather is a bit cold outdoor, so he prepared hot water with lemons for us. Another waiter took our orders and he is friendly too, even my dog barked at him loudly, he is so understandable that small dog does that a lot. We then ordered two lunches, which are very delicious. I love the yellow rice, full of different kind of flavors. You know what? Good service makes foods tastes better!!! Lastly, before we leave, we saw another dog ran to hug the waiter who assisted us the seats, the customer does that too, so welcoming, you can tell HE IS A DOG LOVER and the customers love him too. I appreciate he called my dog's name and asked to offer her water instead of avoiding her loudness. Too bad I dunno his name but he deserves a raise and good tips. His smile, his extremely friendly service, his helpful assistance and understanding, more than 5-stars The only bad is the cleanness, the cloth napkins, utensils or the cups, but those didn't bother me too much coz we all understand restaurants can't be 100% clean. Anyway, I will definitely come again because of the good service, of course the foods too :D read more

Checked this place out for lunch and it was great. My favorite dishes: Dry Curry Beef, Coconut Rice and Tea Leaf Salad. The sweet coconut rice plays the perfect foil for the rich curry beef. Perfect match. The tea leaf was very good. Very good example of this style of salad. Also the portions were good size and you shouldn't leave hungry. The service was good too. Our waiter did a good job of giving us recommendations and food came out in a reasonable time. The dining area is spacious and good for big groups. There were two birthday celebrations as well as an example. They also have a full bar with lots of drink options. There is street parking and some in alley next door.
