Great food and experience at Burmatown. Wait can be long in the evenings, but worth it. Love this place and the staff.

Delicious every bite. Always busy but pretty fast turnaround. Attentive service. I always over order so I'll be excited for lunch the next day. read more

We generally had good experience there. But tonight it took almost an hour for the garlic noodles to be served. We asked twice, and were told they were making from fresh noodles. If they were short of prepared noodles, they should have informed us at the time we ordered or later but they didn't say anything until we asked. They did give us one small free dessert item as an apology. Food was OK. The curry we ordered was rather bland. But honestly I don't think I'm going back in the near future. read more

Burmatown - BBQ Pork Garlic Noodles - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Lovely, family run spot with delightfully fusion-ey Burmese style dishes. Loved the tea leaf salad - the small was enough for two to share. Next course was the spicy pork bao and the curry chicken bao. Both were delicious but the pork packed more punch. We shared the jalapeño shrimp chow fun noodle dish and there was plenty for two with a little left for a midnight snack. Our waitress, Jennifer was lovely and she recommended an excellent Sonoma white to complement our lunch. read more

Great food, nice ambience. Excellent takeout as well. For a Burmese dinner in the north bay this is the "must go."

It was ok but nothing outstanding at all. I will not order here anymore. For a michelini I was expecting better taste .

When I say I love Burmatown, I mean it. Burmatown has a very intimate ambiance and a cozy feel to it. The servers are always super quick, friendly, and always have great service even when they are super busy. Their curries are popular items that sell quickly (once I came an only hour into their lunch service on a weekday and there was only half a serving left... of course I took it!) Burmatown is truly a gem. I have yet to try something on their menu that I haven't enjoyed. read more

This place has been on my list for a long time. It was worth the wait. We got here at 5:45 pm on a Wednesday night and it was hopping. We were able to get 4 seats at a shared table near the door. I wouldn't do that again. Occasionally, waiting people would brush against my back. Also, the door was periodically swung wide open which meant a big gust of cold air. We had Kalbi ribs from the specials sheet, Mushroom Medley Garlic Noodles, ginger chicken bao and a large tea leaf salad and a shrimp and green bean dish. They assembled the tea leaf salad in front of us at the table. It was very good and plenty for our table of 4. I was really looking forward to the Kalbi. It was actually my least favorite dish of what we ordered. It was the most expensive and also the smallest of the dishes. The flavor was good, but half of it was fat. When we ordered the bao, I was expecting something like a Chinese pork bun. They were actually more like mini-bao tacos. The bao (bread) part of it tasted similar to the white bready part of a steamed pork bun. The garlic noodle dish had a lot of garlic flavor, but was almost too spicy for me. I tend to like milder dishes. There are some Burmese dishes here, but there are a variety of Asian styles represented (Thai, Chinese, Korean). I like the vibe of this restaurant and most of the food. I will be back. I'd like to try some other things on the menu. read more

The wait for a table was not too long for 2 people. We got there around 5:45 and sat down by 6:10pm on a Saturday night. Since we had to go to a concert right after, we let our server know and they were able to accommodate and put our orders right away so we can make it to show just in time. All the dishes were delicious and satisfying. The tea leaf salad was very refreshing. The restaurant has a dark modern decor and it is nicely lit. read more

Wow, what an amazing spot. Great food, great service and the flavor on each dish we ordered was exceptional. Favorite the bao taco OMG. The tea salad is always a hit, we've had that at another location in Alameda. Pricey but worth it. Parking residential so be careful but other than that we arrived right at dinner time 4pm. You should go there and try a few items. Waitress was warm and welcoming and her suggestions were perfect. read more

Burmatown is a go-to for bold, comforting flavors. My absolute favorite is the green beans -- perfectly cooked with a savory-spicy kick that's totally addictive. The coconut rice is another standout, perfectly cooked--fragrant, lightly sweet, and the perfect balance to the richer dishes. Friendly service, relaxed vibe, and consistently great food. Always excited when I get to hit up this spot. read more

Our first time here. Came for lunch on a Thursday, and we were completely blown away. The food is delicious, the portions are HUGE, ane the service is excellent. We had Jalapeno Shrimp Chow Fun and Coconut Chicken Curry with Squash, with Coconut Rice. Both dishes were superb. This $38.50 lunch order (before tax and tip) would have fed 4 people very easily. The two of us not only took a whole meal's worth of leftovers home, we also ordered two more curries to go (Braised Burmese Pork Curry and one more order of the chicken curry). They were unusually busy that day, but the service was still excellent. We will be back many, many times, for sure! read more

Burmatown - These were our leftovers after two people had eaten their fill! Jalapeno Shrimp Chow Fun and Coconut Chicken Curry with Squash. - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

The hype is well-deserved. I came for what I keep hearing about: their tea leaf salad and their Burmatown baos. Their choice and thoughtfulness on what ingredients to blend into a masterfully prepared salad did them very well. The multiple textures and tastes you experience here will send you on a nice roller coaster ride. It helps that they toss it right there for you after introducing the ingredients one by one! The baos were a welcome burst of flavor just waiting for your tongue haha. I decided to try their Korean ribeye baos, since that was the choice that appeared first in order. An excellent decision apparently! I did not try their dessert, but I will next time! Hint: come not too long after they open, or the line will lengthen really quickly! A wonderful restaurant to dine in! read more

I am not from the area but this place makes me wish so so so bad that I was. Burmese food is not common at all in my area of Cali, so this place put it on the map for me. I think about this place often and it makes me regretful that I have not moved next door to it already. Every bite made me put down my utensils and shake my head because it is UNBELIEVABLE how good each dish was. Spoiler alert: everything is a 100000000/5 rating. From what I've seen, this place is ALWAYS busy. Be prepared to wait a bit when coming in or make a reservation in advance. They have indoor and outdoor seating, with an incredibly cozy atmosphere. Service is always friendly and willing to answer a plethora of questions especially for first-timers. Lots of great choices on the menu, but these are my go-tos: Tea Leaf Salad (5/5): Was not expecting much from an appetizer, but somehow this was a perfect starter to the experience I was about to have. Every ingredient tasted fresh. It seemed like every component was carefully selected because the blends of flavor and texture was perfect. So so unique. Coconut Rice (5/5): I don't usually review side dishes like rice but MAN why was this so good. It is mind boggling to me how this little thing became one of my favorite things we ordered. It was sticky, perfect texture, and sweet. It complimented every main dish we ordered. Must have side dish for sure. BBQ Pork Garlic Noodles (5/5): Incredible flavor. You will see this on every table around you. The garlic isn't too strong, the dish isn't heavy in general. The pork is so tender and marinated to perfection. Crispy Angel Wings (5/5): You bet these are the best wings I've ever had in my life. They must be called angel wings because they send you to heaven. Must have every time. Perfect crisp outside, tender inside. Sauce is perfect. They are also HUGE. Just ridiculous how they hit every mark. In addition, I also recommend getting their sauces. Chef Jenny's Hot Sauce is my favorite. It pairs especially well with the wings, bbq pork, and even the coconut rice. The cilantro habanero hot sauce is just as good. I dunk everything in these. read more

Eating here a third time trying something new. The hoisin pork ribs, the guava dessert. Whatever won them the 2025 Michelin is not happening now. Just no flavor. Ribs texture and crisis y and so bland. I come here hoping for some powerful flavors. Never find them. Best we can do ? read more

OMG, home cooked. Best friend took me here for lunch and just outstanding in every way.

Came here earlier this year with my team for dinner. It was very lively in the restaurant, love the location. We got seated in the middle in a long table in front of the bar. It was my first time trying Burmese food, my coworkers told me it was healthy and delicious. We tried their green tea leaf salad, they did not like it much, I actually really enjoyed it! For main entree I ordered the chicken curry with squash and coconut rice. It was delicious, GF of course, and the coconut rice honestly was the star of the meal lol I am still craving that coconut rice! I highly recommend coming here if you want good ambiance and delicious Burmese food :) read more

Family place with high quality food. Tasty and excellent. The new location is amazing and cozy. The food is cooked with attention and love. Service was amazing. Never disappoints. read more

Burmatown - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

We came on a weekday night (right before 5:30pm) and was definitely perfect timing because this place gets packed! They had plenty bar seating and tables - definitely low light setting but lively. We were highly impressed by the bbq garlic noodles, and the short rib bao. In my opinion, it seems as though all the other dishes fell short. It seems as though they were consistently skimpy on the protein portions - we'd really only come back for the noodles, baos, sparkling lemonades AND the desserts! The panna cotta's were perfection! Other than that, our server was amazing. Attentive, despite how busy it was, and did it all with a smiling face. Glad we finally got to try it after months of wondering! read more

Burmatown - Crispy Angel Wings & BBQ Pork Garlic Noodles - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

WHEW! Let us pray and gather our hearts, minds, and stomachs as we reflect on how DELICIOUS this food was! HONEY! Every single thing my husband and I ate has us in awe. We had the Vegetarian Curry Samosa and Chili Garlic Green Beans as appetizers and that nearly had us SLUMPED by how good and flavorful it was. They then proceeded to send out our entrees which they gave us extremely hearty helpings of. Husband got Thai Basil Stir Fry modified to add broccoli (a suggestion by our AMAZING waiter) and I got the garlic mushroom noodles which MY GOD! Those noodles had me moving in slow motion. Like SO so good. You could tell that all of our dishes were cooked extremely fresh and to order. We went right around when they opened on a weekday and by the time we left it was definitely pretty busy and we could clearly see why. Overall, INCREDIBLE. What a time to be alive! read more

Still one of the better dining experiences in Marin at the moment: celebratory, fun, and delicious. Burmatown has expanded into a newer space in the last year which is much larger than their previous tiny jewel box they operated for years. I've always appreciated the food here, but now they finally have a spacious and modern location, it's a pleasure to dine here. (The outdoor dining area and parklet is not as well appointed and less cozy on increasingly cold fall nights.) Definitely order their ribs (we prefer their fried version to the stewed) and I enjoy their seafood dishes. The garlic noodles and green beans are also delicious. Wine, beer and NA beverages. read more

If you want to have a terrific meal, go to Burmatown. But note that you need to get there early because this place fills up fast and it is hopping. It's a relatively small restaurant, cute and warm. Service is welcoming and excellent. Try the Tea Leaf salad to start. Tonight we had the spareribs and the shrimp stir fry with coconut rice. So good! I live in Palm Springs now, but when I come back to Corte Madera, this is always our dinner first stop. read more

Unfamiliar with the food scene in Marin, I relied on my friend and Yelp to find a spot for dinner. Burmatown was a halfway point for us since I work in Marin and my friend lives in the area. A bustling environment, slow service, decent food, and great company are how I'd sum up my experience. I'm a Burmese cuisine enthusiast and I was underprepared with how popular Burmatown is. Coming for dinner on a weeknight the restaurant was loud and packed to the brim. There's a good amount of tables, booths, and a bar inside all close to one another. Plus a spread out, quieter, and casual outdoor dining area. Most diners are neighborhood locals and I'd recommend coming here with friends, family, or a date since it's a casual spot. Due to being a favored restaurant--be mindful that service is quite slow. There are lots of staff working but it took time to have our order taken and be served our food. The service was curt but minimal and not attentive; it took roughly an hour to get our dishes. My friend and I have certain allergies and restrictions but were content with the options available. He and I shared: Small Tea Leaf Salad, BBQ Pork Garlic Noodles, Coconut Chicken Curry with Squash, and Jasmine Rice. The tea leaf salad we got without peanuts and is a must--classic dish, unique, and will tickle your tastebuds. The garlic noodles were good to share and had a good bounce. It was light on the garlic and piled high but I wish the meat wasn't tough. The curry was fine but didn't stand out. It wasn't a thick curry but runnier. I appreciated how much tender chicken they provided but the squash was a bit hard. We left with takeout boxes for all items but enjoyed sharing family style. For those unfamiliar with Burmese food this is an all-right introduction. I'd say Burmatown is more so Asian fusion geared towards an American palette. They have appetizers, main dishes, and desserts--it's affordable, portions are big and good to share, service is nice but super slow so be warned! Parking is limited out front or on the street since it's off of Tamalpais Drive. It's a good option for Marin County but I prefer other options in the Bay Area. read more

I can't believe I've lived in the county for over 10 years and had never tried Burmatown until recently -- what a find! It's a Michelin-starred gem that truly lives up to the hype. The bold flavors are unforgettable, and I'm now officially obsessed with their tea leaf salad -- it's a must-try and something I genuinely crave. Their wine selection is impressive, the portion sizes are generous, and everything is priced really well. I've loved everything I've tried on the menu so far. Burmatown is definitely going into my regular rotation! read more

Finally a good Asian food that delivers in Marin. It's somewhere between Thai and Chinese and a 10/10.. which is saying a lot.... So glad I found this place - I was starting to lose hope for Marin. Took a screenshot of what we ordered. Everything was incredible. The Bao was in fact very spicy. The green beans are some of the best I've had in a long time. read more

This is one of a favorite restaurants in the area. We usually order their Tea Leaf Salad, BBQ Pork Garlic Noodles, Crispy Angel Wings, Braised Beef Short Ribs, Crispy Garlic Green Beans, and Coconut Rice. All their dishes are delicious and their garlic noodles are probably the best I've ever had. I would recommend going early though because the wait can be quite long during peak mealtimes. read more

Excellent menu with a variety of dishes. Everything was excellent. Especially liked the tea salad. Crunchy and very tasty. Also recommend shrimp and curry, pork noodles and most everything.

Food and service were outstanding. Garlic noodles were delicious! look forward to returning.

The food is delicious. But Mike behind the bar is the BOMB!!! Sit at the bar ... trust me.

Amazing food. That is why it can be hard to get in. Pro tip: try at lunch ! The bao and the curry are top notch.

I was so excited to try this place but left disappointed. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the service. The gentleman who served us was friendly, helpful and efficient. We ordered the tea leaf salad, bbq pork garlic noodles, 2 ribeye beef bao buns, and their seared scallop with corn risotto special. The tea leaf salad was a nice mix of textures but the fish sauce flavor was a bit overpowering (and we're Asian so fish sauce is practically in our DNA). Half the amount of fermented tea leaves would have been more than enough. The portions are very generous though. The small was more than plenty for a party of two. 3.5/5 Ribeye beef bao buns were good but not memorable. For $5.50 for a bun I expected a little more but I'm a sucker for bao buns so I always have to try it anytime it's on the menu. 3.75/5 BBQ pork garlic noodles was probably my favorite out of everything we ordered. The noodles had good texture and were tasty. The pork was tender and plentiful. My only critique is that it was extremely salty. 4/5 The seared scallop special was underwhelming. The scallops were supposedly cooked in a coconut curry sauce. We did not taste any of the curry flavor what so ever. However, the texture of the scallop was on point. The corn risotto was more like risotto with a sprinkle of corn. The asparagus was well cooked but had absolutely no seasoning. This dish was overall very confusing. I have no idea what was going on but then again, in hindsight maybe we shouldn't have ordered risotto at a Burmese restaurant. 3/5 read more

Seeing high Yelp ratings for Burmatown, we decided to check it out this evening, since we crossed the GG bridge for the day. There was a bit of a wait, but it wasn't for long. I think it was about a 15-20-minute wait for a table outside. And it was only 5:30 pm! Though to warn you, there were flies and you'd have to keep batting at them while eating! So if I had to choose again, I'd say indoors is best, but I'm sure the wait would have been longer! Burmatown staff were personable, nice, and attentive. They refilled our waters and checked on us while eating. We chose a few of their most popular items on the menu. So glad we did! We were quite satisfied! Tea Leaf Salad was tasty and unusual with the different seeds and such in it. (Burmese fermented tea leaves, green cabbage, romaine hearts, dried shrimp, mixed Burmese beans, peanuts, seeds, fried garlic, jalapeño, tomato, lemon, and fish sauce.) 4/5 Crispy Angel Wings were really good! (Lightly battered wings dipped in house-made chili garlic gochujang sauce with sesame and cilantro.) I think this was our favorite among the dishes we chose. They were crispy, and sweet yet not overly sweet and they had some tang to them as well. It was perfectly balanced. LOVED the wings!! YUM!!! 5/5 Spicy Hawaiian Kalbi Ribs had some kick with savory and sweetness much like you'd expect for Korean Kalbi! Plenty of garlic noodles and a good amount of ribs fill the plate. This isn't a Burmese dish, but a fusion dish. 5/5 Platha and dip was nice! (Crispy multi-layered flaky bread coconut curry dipping sauce) Platha was crispy and flakey! The curry dipping sauce was flavorful. The edges were extra crunchy, enjoyable and SO GOOD! 5/5 Great spot with great food! So if you're ever in the area, try Burmatown!! read more

How have I never reviewed this spot? It is hands down our favorite restaurant in the North Bay. I've never been to an authentic Burmese restaurant, so I am judging solely on quality of the food and kindness of the staff - 100% worth the drive, cost, experience! We try to go as often as we can; usually after hikes in the area or on our way to SF for date night. Anytime is a good time! We usually luck out on the wait because we hit it early to avoid the crowds which is a bonus since it's a good 45 minute drive already to get there. Their wine and beer list has steadily improved over the years which is nice because their food is and has always been top notch in our book. Favorites every time for us are Angel wings and the tea leaf salad. I love the bbq pork noodles, after that we switch it up and it depends on how hungry we are. This is one of those spots that if you can it is worth saving room for dessert because it is worth the calories! Super nice family owned spot; completely reasonable prices and always delicious food. Such a delightful treat and local gem. read more

Update: A very kind and sweet person named Jennifer just contacted me & offered us a coconut cake on the house upon our return with an apology. We will definitely be back for more noodles, yummy appetizers and some cake. Extra star added for great customer service.. And hopefully it'll be 5 stars after our next visit. Had a fun time here. The noodles and appetizers were very good and reasonably priced. The Tea leaf salad was great too. Sadly though the black miso cod was super disappointing, as was the coconut rice. They were just very bland. The cod dish was watery and tasteless. Our waitress was very nice until we asked "politely" if we could send back the bread pudding we had ordered for dessert. We had one taste each it was overwhelmingly sweet. 3 different kinds of fruits banana, strawberry, and cherries all together - it was SO sickly. We probably should have had the coconut cake instead. When we told our waitress we couldn't eat it, she went from friendly to ice cold in a second, and immediately brought our bill without asking if we'd maybe like to sub with something else. We were quite taken aback. To summarize I'd say we have mixed feelings about BurmaTown. read more
