Amazing food! Everything we order, every time - an explosion of flavors in every bite. Cannot recommend enough! A must if coming to Larkspur to eat. Holy moly the food is incredible!!! read more

Ambiance was ok, nothing special but overall, loved the happy hour specials and again the grace of all the servers and service

Fabulous family restaurant, we LOVE this place! Good mains, good salads, a favorite of ours! Burmese tea-leaf salad, the crunchiness, the presentation, the specials which nearly sell out! I'm grateful to see Mike, Jennifer, the grandma astute with her craft, the fabulous servers... the kids (9 and 5) like the bbq pork garlic noodles. I've had all 3 types of baos--steak, ginger chicken, shrimp. Friends who have never had Burmese food loved it, the only unfortunate thing was, we just had NO leftovers because everything was eaten!!! read more

The food is fresh, flavorful, and has good portions for sharing. We had the bao with ribeye beef, crispy angel wings, coconut chicken curry, bbq pork garlic noodles, beef short ribs, green beans, jasmine rice, and a thai iced tea panna cotta. OMG everything was so delicious! You really can't go wrong ordering anything off the menu. The staff and owner are so friendly, attentive and welcoming. We had a short wait before a table opened up and were comfortable standing outside with the strong heat lamps. 10 out of 10! read more

This food. It's rare to get to experience such authenticity of a cuisine! The service and staff are efficient and so kind. We love it.

Let me start by saying... YUM! Not only is the food so good but the service is amazing. I've ordered from there 3 times in the last two weeks and haven't been disappointed once. Their angel wings are so mf good! And the ribs with garlic noodles are sticky and fall off the bone. I ordered from door dash each time. One of the orders the delivery person never showed up. I was sooooo mad. I called the restaurant to see if he ever showed up and he did just never dropped off the order. The hostess was so kind and apologetic despite it not being her fault. She offered to have someone drop off my order to my house! I was floored! If you haven't been to Burmatown definitely go! But also beware of your meal being high jacked by door dash. Guess he couldn't help himself! The smell was too intoxicating. read more

Comparable to Burma Superstar (and B-Star Cafe) in the city, but one might even say a little pricier in this crowded Marin joint. Tea leaf salad is ALWAYS a must, and while the specials (more asian fusion style dishes) might be worth considering, I'd stick with the classics and traditional Burmese dishes. I remember finding the Korean-influenced dishes (short rib, kimchi, you get the idea) to be one of the less tasteful dishes. Update to this^: last night I had the traditional Burmese fish chowder which was DELICIOUS. 100% recommend that. We also shared the coconut chicken curry (I'd rate it a 3/5) and the spicy shrimp chow fun (4/5). Family-style is undoubtedly the best way to dine here -- each dish is so varied that you will WANT to try a bit of them all. Take the risk and ask the servers for their recommendations, they will not let you down. Burmatown shows a commitment to their patrons, and that (plus delicious food, I mean......) is what will keep me coming back again and again. Alas, prepare to be leave feeling satisfied and stuffed! read more

Burmatown - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Very small tight seating, often long waits, friendly smiling faces, amazing food, servers with great personalities, no reservations... Burmatown is a gem. Don't forget to look up at the wall for the specials there is always a board full of them. We started with the obligatory tea leaf salad that was light, complicated, and delicious. Then the korean beef baos they were a little messy but each bite made me wish i could savor it for hours. The chili garlic beans were flavorful, spicy and al dente. The very popular ribs and noodles were flying out of the kitchen to almost every table. The basil shrimp stir fry was very good with the coconut rice... made sweet and spicy heaven in my mouth. My recommendation is to come early and come hungry... everything is AMAZING and you will want to come back for more. There is talk of a second location. I hope they find a great spot. read more

This place simply blew me away. Not only was the service top notch, but the food was as well! I've been to several Burmese restaurants, and ordering the Tea Leaf Salad can always be a bit awkward, considering that the waiter will be table side for a minute or two...but not this time. The blonde girl that was mixing it at our table was simply delightful! We had a fun conversation and laughed our entire way through. The Salad itself was absolutely delicious too! We totally over ordered too...We had that Plata, Basil shrimp and the chicken curry noodles. All were great, but the Basil Shrimp and Tea Leaf Salad really stood out. Highly recommend this place if you like south Asian cooking. read more

Omg this place is absolutely delicious!!!! Best restaurant in Marin County! The ribs are to die for and everything tastes delightful love the service and the new location is great read more

This is one of my Hidden Gems of Marin bookmarks and it really fits all of the requirements. It's tucked away in the western backside of Corte Madera, it has an uncommon type of food (Burmese), and it has absolutely f'ing delicious food! 6 days a week, I try to eat healthy, appropriately portioned meals. Then on the day formerly known as Thursday - Cheater Day - I treat myself to whatever food I would like. Burmatown is one of my favorite places to go to spoil myself. It's so good that my partner will even let us go there on regular days. They are always busy but this is also because the place is pretty small with only about a dozen tables. Wait times have been short though - averaging 15 minutes for my visits. The real problem for me here is that they have too many damn good dishes! I'm just not allowed to cheat THAT much. So it becomes a challenge to sit there and pick just 2 dishes. However you could just close your eyes and smack your finger down randomly and be quite happy. A couple of nights ago - after a nearby Yelp event at another business - I stopped by a half hour before closing to get dinner. 5 minute wait. A couple of the day's specials were sold out - no matter. They still had the hoisen back ribs my partner loves so much. And I got the chicken curry noodle which was absolutely phenomenal. So good that I didn't even want to try to sneak a rib away (although I got one of the leftover ones the next day heh heh heh). That night I also decided to get the coconut mango ice cream dessert. Damn I had to share it. My partner took cheating to a new level eating most of the mango ice cream. Oh man that was so good. The staff is fast and actually really friendly in a fun not annoying way. Observant - which is important since they need to turn tables efficiently due to their size and relative demand - but not in a hurry up get the hell out already way. Prices are extremely reasonable. Quality is top notch and portions are filling. There are a significant number of daily specials so you won't get bored if you end up coming back frequently. Honestly this is a truly special restaurant and I almost regret over sharing but then again hundreds of people have rated Burmatown already so... enjoy! Just don't go on Thursdays ;-) read more

Burmatown - The current menu. - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Just when you thought they could not get any better - they moved. Love love love the new location. Still packed and have to wait for a table but always worth the wait. The pratha, the chicken wings, the mushroom noodles and the basil shrimp remain my favorite but honestly you could blindly pick anything from the menu and be amazed. Keep it up you guys. We love you guys so so so much. read more

Love burmatowm. Excellent food and service. Have their system down Pat for serving as many people as possible. Just want to point out the bathroom is kind of gross which isn't a good look for a nice restaurant. They and (all) restaurants should keep their bathrooms spotless and nice so that we can assume their kitchen cleanliness is the same. read more

Small, intimate restaurant but spacing is great - it is very comfortable and the staff is very friendly and humorous. We got the beef short rib curry and chicken wings. The food was so flavourful and the beef short ribs were so tender and delicious! Partner it with the coconut rice and it makes for an amazing combination. Very delicious food in a comfortable ambiance filled with warm lighting and dark woods. Perfect for a date night! :) Oh, also, try the cherry cola! read more

3.5 stars Limited street parking. Small & intimate restaurant. The tables are very close to one another. They only have about 10 tables or so. Very busy even on a Wednesday night. ARRIVE EARLY to dine in. When you get there be sure to put down your name on the clipboard next to the door. Got there around 630 and there were about 7 names in front of mine so decided to order take out instead. They have chairs outside for people to wait for a table or take out orders. Literally no room inside the restaurant to wait. Be sure to bring a jacket on those cold nights. Or you will be shivering and turn into a popsicle stick before they call your table. Or walk a block or two down to the wine bar and grab a drink while you wait for your table to be called. Ordered: Baos - chicken, beef, shrimp Small order of Garlic noodles Jasmine rice Beef short rib curry I think the Baos were the best. Ordered the chicken, beef, and shrimp. Wanted to try them all. The garlic noodles were okay. I've had better in the city. The beef short rib curry was okay as well. The beef short rib was very tender but I think the whole dish just lacked flavor and didn't really taste like curry. When I got home I realized they didn't give us any utensils. Spent about $45 dollars. And didn't even get a single napkin. The portions aren't big either. Ill be back and give them another try. read more

Burmatown - Shrimp Bao - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

We ordered the coconut rice, the bbq pork garlic noodles, Angel wings, and beef bao. We ordered takeout, but when I went in to pick it up, the place was PACKED, so be aware of that if you're dining in. The coconut rice had a decent coconut flavor, although it was much too light. The wings were crispy and had a sweet glaze, but could have benefited from some spice. I didn't care for the beef filling, but the bun itself was very nice- sweet and soft. Honestly I'd probably get that just by itself if it was a cheaper side item to order! Unfortunately, the bbq pork garlic noodles was what I ordered and it didn't deliver. It was basically just chow mein; it didn't have that strong garlicky flavor that I was expecting. Oh and we got the tea leaf salad, which was really good. It was sour, tangy, pungent (in a great way), and a BIG serving. Overall, the food was okay- some nice items, some that were lackluster. Ultimately, I can't really say that the food is worth the price, although I wish I could. read more

Burmatown is a hidden gem in Marin. The service is fast and friendly, making each diner feel right at home. I have only eaten at Burmatown during the pandemic, but the "to go" nature of the experience didn't dampen it a bit. I cant wait to return and dine in soon. The garlic noodles are to die for. Rich flavor and the perfect kick of spice. With or without pork, this is a must. Give Burmatown a shot! There's nothing like it in the Bay Area. read more

Yum yum yum ! Excellently. I love the service and the ambience. I took my family and baby there. Everyone had a good time. I have some strands to my baby and she had a great time sucking on it. All dishes are delicious. My husband and I ordered the fish soup and curry chicken and tea salad. read more

Great place, delicious food, good service. Highly recommended this place. Indoor and outdoor seating

Wow really good food. We are on the way to camping and this was the perfect stop for an early dinner. Well deserve the high rating. We loved everything we ordered - 3 baos chicken beef and shrimp. Shrimp one was my favorite - miso glazed black cod - amazing. Loved the broth and all the yummy veggies. Sauce was lightly sweet and flavorful but not overpowering. Loved it - beef short rib with asparagus. A little greasy but yummy as well - tea leave salad. Was solid. A bit better in the city but still good - curry chicken noodle. Good but overall my least favorite. Not bad though. Probably just too starchy for me. Definitely recommend. Get here early as they don't take reservations. We were here before 5pm. By 5:30 on a Friday there was a line of 10 people outside read more

Nice restaurant with good food. If you suffer from migraines, this place loads food with MSG. Too bad, food doesn't need it. I've gotten two massive migraines eating here. Unfortunately off my list now. read more

After hiking Alamere Falls or as I like to call it Aylamere Falls lol, my cousin and I were STARVING! Good old yelp lead me to this cute little spot about a 30 min drive from Bolinas. We ordered: Baos 3 for $16 we chose one garlic shrimp, one ginger chicken, and one Korean Style Ribeye. Surprisingly I enjoyed the chicken the most but each were quite flavorful. Burmese chicken curry noodles $13.50. This was in good portion. Normally Im not a big fan of coconut curry but this also had good flavor. Tea leaf salad $12.50. Due to it being our first experience with Burmese food it was only right to give the staple dish a try. The server brought the dish to our table and mixed it for us. Im not a big fan of anything bitter so for me this is an acquired taste. Im curious to try it again though. I enjoyed the different textures and the addition of lemon and fish sauce is its saving grace. All in all this is a cozy little Burmese spot. Ambience and service was a thumbs up and food although generally not my go-to's were good quality. read more

Burmatown is a cute little restaurant that seems to be very popular with the locals. The 3 of us dropped by on a Saturday and didn't wait too long, ~25 min. The menu sounded appetizing and intriguing and the service was top notch. We ordered the tea leaf salad, shrimp and green bean stir fry with a side of coconut rice, and Nan Pia Dok (noodles mixed with chicken curry and fried wonton strips). Everything tasted good, but the highlight was definitely the humble bowl of rice. Personally, I could have had some stronger and more pungent flavors in all the dishes. I wouldn't say the food was bland, it was tasty! But for this asian gal, I could have some more asian flavors. Maybe more jalapeños in the salad, stronger spices in the Nan Pia Dok. And for the price, I think the dishes could have been a little bigger, but maybe I'm just a girl with a big appetite. read more

My first time here was to leet a friend for dinner. I didn't have high expectations because you know "Covid" ;-) The food were really good! And the service was excellent. They serve with a smile! Since then, I've been back a couple of times within a span of three weeks (no, I'm not sick of the food yet). I can't wait to dine in their new location. High recommended! read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Marin. The food is exceptional, and the people who work there are exceptional. I live nearby, and everyone around here knows that Burmatown is a wonderful asset to the neighborhood. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

Great food!! Great textures and spices combined to make a delicious treat. I highly recommend them.

I'm not one to hand five star reviews. I'm also someone who eats a lot of Asian food. This is hands down the best Asian restaurant in Marin. It would be a mistake to not eat here. Although, I don't particularly want to wait much longer than I typically do. Pretty much everything you can order here is a hit. Try the homemade hot sauce. Great overall attentiveness to detail. read more

Amazing food and great staff! Tea leaf salad is a must, as well as the milk tea. Their staff is friendly and helpful and makes for a very nice experience. read more

The Thai leaf salad is the best salad I've ever had. This time I decided to order the chicken coconut curry with squash but if I would have to recommend a dish it would be the Basil Shrimp stir fry. read more

Love, love Burmatown! So thankful there is a place like this in a town like Corte Madera! We've had take out from here multiple times now and everything has ranged from good to very very good. My kids love the garlic noodle dishes, angel wings and hoisin ribs. The salads have been really fresh and delish. The curries are good, although not amazing IMO. Oh, and the baos are yummy but very expensive for what they are. But still, grateful that they are here and serving good food! I've found their estimated ready time to be pretty accurate - never late and sometimes early. It looks like it gets crowded for sit down so arrive early to get a table (or after the dinner rush). read more

This place is horrible, fetid, rank, stay away!!! Okay that was my attempt to make it less crowded for my own seating wait benefit, but obviously my 5 stars belie those nasty words, Burmatown is awesome. Delicious food and they are such nice people too - what more could you want? Well except not to have to wait to get in ;) Oh and that dog grooming place next door really aught to change its name to Furmatown. read more

Food is okay, not great nor horrible, customer service sucks. You can wait 3 hours to see people who came after eating before you even get your food. This restraunt doesn't know if they are a take out or a sit in diner. Get it together people, Taking on too many customers but can't keep up on the service. It sucks having to be that customer that has to complain but people need to speak up on sloppy service, multiple hour wait times and not properly trained employees. read more

My family and I frequent Burmatown for both dine-in and take-out. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff are some of the friendliest people that I have ever met. It is a wonderful family restaurant. It make me feel like I am having a meal cooked by my Grandmother (if she was from Burma). They go above and beyond. The last time that we dined there we had an delicious dinner. When we were walking back to the car I was leading the procession carrying the leftovers and all of the other accoutrements that accompany bringing a toddler to dinner. My wife, who was carrying our son, was approached by an angry man walking down the side walk who started yelling at her. Mike (one of the staff) immediately stepped in front of her and was able to politely get him to go on his way. That is above and beyond in my book. read more

Fabulous food ! I believe they only take walk-ins but this place is awesome and the food can be a bit spicy but if you tell them you don't need space on it they'll take care of you read more

Great place food was delicious. And the Angel wings were fire I definitely highly recommend it

5 Star Alert!!!! I have been wanting to try Burmatown for months and months now...and hubby and I finally made it out there last night for a much needed date night! First of all, the restaurant is a tiny space but has such a cozy, homey vibe to it. Hubby and I decided to share a bunch of small plates (and hubby went mostly veggie so that I could try a bunch of stuff). We ordered the tea leaf salad (vegetarian version), the samosas, the bao trio (two veg and one ginger chicken) and the garlic noodles. The tea leaf salad was the bomb! As soon as I tasted it, I told my husband that this is the kind of salad I could eat every day! So fresh and full of flavor and textures. Love, love, love!!! The veggie samosas were good (but not the stars of the evening). The bao---oh the bao!!! Most of the places I have tried bao, I find the texture to be too rubbery (like it's been overcooked), but not at Burmatown--their bao is perfection! It just melts in your mouth! HOLY MOLY BAO!!! Hubby loved the ginger chicken bao and the veggie one (yes, he got two and I got one). Next time I am getting a bao trio for myself! The garlic noodles were awesome too...perfectly seasoned, not overly salty or garlicky! We ordered the coconut cake (it is a semolina cake) with mango ice-cream for dessert. The hubby wasn't sure he was going to like it, but I had to end up fighting him for it! He loved it so much and he eats fast, so I literally had to grab a piece before it was gone. The coconut cake is not very sweet (just a hint of sweetness) and paired with the mango ice-cream you get the perfect bite! Definitely going to be regulars at this place! Highlights for the hubby--tea leaf salad and dessert. Highlights for me--tea leaf salad and Bao! read more

Obsessed with Burmatown! It's always a special treat to come here. I have to say, I've never dined in, only done takeout so I can only speak to the quality of their food. Their chicken wings are heavenly! And their baby back ribs peel very cleanly off the bone and melt in your mouth. I've tried their BBQ noodles and tea leaf salad and really nothing has disappointed. Even their green beans slap. read more

I cannot believe how much food I ingested at this restaurant! It was so good-I went today for my first time with my mom and had such an enjoyable experience. The setting was super cute and the food was 100/10. We had the tea leaf salad, garlic noodles, beef curry, and a slice of mango cheesecake. The server was really sweet and the chef even came out and asked us how the food was. I live quite a bit always, but regardless will come back for this food at some point for sure! read more

Food is fabulous! And service is very attentive! They moved to a new larger location but I haven't been yet! I'm sure the ambiance is great like their previous original location...but much larger! read more

I've been going here for years, before they changed locations. I can confidently say this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been too. The service is fantastic. The people who own and operate the restaurant are lovely people as well as every single employee. I've never once had a bad experience. The food is delicious. My favorites are the hosin back ribs, angel wings, green beans, and garlic noodles. But honestly you can't go wrong. Once they changed locations seating is a lot easier to get. Overall just one of the best restaurants in Marin. read more
