first day in Burlingame and we tried this place on a whim and were blown away! the tea leaf salad is incredible. one of the most interesting things i've ever eaten and i can't wait to come back and get it again! and the service was amazing everyone is so nice and wants to make sure your meal is exactly how you want it. this is a must go!!!! read more

I have been here several times. I absolutely love this place! Every dish I have tried has tasted great. I always get the tea leaf salad. It is my favorite dish!!!!! I highly recommended. The service is always amazing! This is a great place and I hope it stays around for a very long time! read more

First time here with relatives from out of town. Great service. Great food. Great area. Will come back again. Don't pass Walgreens. You've gone to far. read more

Ordered for delivery thru Yelp and Grub Hub. It was delivered hot and on time. Hubby ordered his favorite standby, Kung Pao. Unfortunately it was not made as I would expect, sauce was thin and super mild. I ordered the Shrimp Yangon Noodles. It was OK but not much to write home about. There was only about 6 shrimp in the dish. Overall it was average, affordable and delivered ontime. I expected more in the Bay Area. Disappointing. read more

I was suprisingly impressed. Had the mogolian beef, kung pao chicken and BBQ pork noodles. All was good. The noodles were a bit bland, however still very good. I would give them 5 starts, however the food was a bit oily. Overall great for lunch, have eated here 3 times now, and may just order from them for lunch today! read more

This is the place! I got the tomato curry and asked that it be Asian spicy. They asked if I was sure, yet the dish was still pretty mild. The curry was delicious and I will or sure be back next time I have to travel for work. Just a note, all the staff speaks Chinese. I've never had authentic Burmese food, so I can't speak to its authenticity, but it was good. read more

This spot is good. I usually get it as take out as it is just down the street from where I live. My go to is the tea leaf salad, somosa soup, and some noodles. I would have to say the Burma Super Star is much better but it is further away from where I live. Very nice people and good food. Def worth a try! read more

Such a pleasant surprise! Everything we had here was prepared with care from quality ingredients. The hotter items were hot - but not too hot. Even the desserts were good - fried banana with coconut icre cream and mango pudding - were delicious. In addition, we ordered a respectable La Crema Pinot Noir that was not marked up 300% like certain restaurants I could name. The service was solicitous and friendly. We'll be back. read more

Their lunch specials are delicious, and you get a lot of food for what you pay for. I'm so glad we stumbled across this place when the restaurant we always go to was too crowded. Their customer service is great, and the waitress was super accommodating when we told her we were in a rush. Haven't had the chance to make it back here for dinner, but I'd definitely be up to give it a try! read more

Ordered potstickers they were good. Ordered chicken fried rice was OK ordered General chicken dry as a bone.

Everything we ordered here was amazing. Our server was incredibly personable and attentive and suggested some great dishes, including the Burmese chow fun. Will definitely be back! read more

Was out of town for a conference and decided this based on previous reviews. Ordered to go: sesame chicken and mango beef, both spicy. Food was still warm and I was surprised that the chicken stayed crispy after it was delivered! Both items had a good amount of spice and were tasty! read more

OMG!!!!! You have to eat here!!!! Everything is amazing. We eat here often, mainly the Mango Salad, egg rolls, and Palatha, plus many of the main dishes. Service is excellent, people are wonderful, but the food is FANTASTIC. Haven't had a bum meal here yet. Wowza!!!! read more

Fast service and delicious food. My wife ordered mango shrimp and fried sesame tofu. My daughter ordered noodles with shrimp. I had the chicken biriyani (spicy) . We also ordered vegetarian egg rolls. Best part is we got to enjoy good eats in the comfort of our hotel room. read more

Excellent food and service. We tried 2 Burmese enters and 2 Chineses entrees and everything was so delicious!

If I could give a 3.5, I think I would...but using the same scale I use for all of my reviews, this one gets a 3...for now. We just dropped in for a quick late lunch. I think we got there around 3:30-ish (give or take) on Sunday and they were closing. I didn't think to check to see if they were just closing for an hour and reopening for dinner, or if they just served lunch on Sundays...but even still, we didn't get lunch menus. We ordered the egg rolls, and per the server's recommendation, mango chicken (and white rice). The egg rolls were for a quantity of 4. They were small, but tasty. They were not greasy, and the contents still had a freshness and crispness to them that I like. The wrappers were thin, crisp and flakey. The sweet and sour sauce was pretty "meh"...not the worst I've ever had, but your typical red jarred sauce, I think. For Burmese food on the peninsula, Minglaba on Burlingame Ave is my yardstick. Since I'm not a huge fan of Mango, I've only had the Mango Beef to compare to this Mango Chicken. I liked that Yangon gave long and thin mango slices. It seemed to blend into the dish a bit better. At Minglaba, the mango chunks were much larger, so some bites were just overpowering mango. Yangon's dish was saucy-er, but I couldn't quite pick out if this was a "real" sauce, or perhaps something prepared...but I quite liked it, especially with the rice. Yangon's dish has more onions than I remembered there being in the Minglaba dish, and my girlfriend said a couple piece of onions were undercooked/a bit raw but I didn't have any of those. The chicken seemed of decent quality, and was properly cooked. I actually really liked the rice. It was just "sticky" enough, but still moist and fluffy. We were the only people in the restaurant because they turned off the "open" sign after they sat us, but service was friendly and attentive, but not in-the-way. Pricing felt a little bit high, but not terrible. The two of us split the entire, egg rolls and two orders of steamed rice and left satisfied. I could see parking could be tricky because of how close they are to the California intersection. The parking lot next door is only for Wal-greens, and very little parking right on Broadway. I think the menu was a little small compared to Minglaba, and I didn't see Tampoi rice (which I associate, perhaps mistakenly, with Burmese restaurants) but it was adequately sized if I wasn't comparing it to Minglaba. Pleasant experience, parking was a bit wonky, was a liiiittle expensive, food was OK, but unless I'm already on Broadway, I would rather go to Minglaba. I do feel like I owe this place another visit to try a couple more entrees, since we only tried one. My scale: 1- it made me sick, the place was disgustingly filthy, or they ripped me off or something, and I'm never going back 2- could be a 3 but maybe one aspect was bad...but in general, it's not-very-good, and I wouldn't go back. Didn't make me sick and they didn't rip me off, but I won't be back. 3- I wouldn't make a special trip, but if someone else wanted to try it or I was on the same street I might stop in. Maybe a bit expensive, or not super great...maybe parking is a pain and indifferent service...but nothing too "wrong"...just nothing great. 4- this was good enough to be a regular stop, and I would make a special trip. 5- Perfect food and service. I can forgive high price if it's a high-end place, but even better if its good value. read more

This place popped up out of the blue. We got pot stickers (pretty good), garlic noodles with BBQ pork (very good and garlicky with buttery noodles) and Burmese curry chicken. We got the food to go so don't know about the service yet, but we're definitely going to go back! Food was tasty and not too pricey. read more

You just gotta try their garlic noodles and catfish chowder. The place is quiet and staff is absolutely friendly and helpful.

Great food, ordered delivery it was piping hot when it arrived and exceeded expectations. I had the Kung pao chicken ordered it spices and it was awesome! I highly recommend this place read more

I've tried a few Burmese restaurants in the Bay Area/Peninsula, and Yangon is definitely the best one! This is a relatively new restaurant in the area, we've come a few times, we got different dishes: Tea Leaf Salad, Mango Chicken, Mango Salad, Burmese Curry Lamb, various appetizers, all of them are great and quite special. The service is very good too. The people here are very kind and friendly. Yangon is becoming one of our favorite restaurants in the area! read more

Yangon - Mango Salad - very tasty and healthy! - Chinese Near Me - Burlingame, California

See all

Very very so-so. Sizzling rice soup arrived completely flavorless and bland. We sent it back and it came back ok. Then ordered the palatha appetizer. The sauce was ok but much runnier and thinner than one would expect of a curry dip. Entrees were mongolian beef and sesame orange chicken. The boot was nice and tender with a nice sauce and properly seasoned. The chicken had a yummy sauce but is heavily breaded - more batter than chicken in each bite. I'm sure there are many better options here on Broadway. Will not be back. read more

Definitely the worst Burmese food I've ever had. Chicken tasted gamey, flavorless curry sauce, and overpriced to boot. Definitely not worth it, I ended up throwing it out. read more

Delicious all around! We got the crab & cheese wontons (MUST HAVE), vegetarian egg rolls which were light and crispy, chicken fried rice, and the sesame orange chicken. Would recommend everything we got! All the food came out piping hot and fresh! Would tell anyone I know to try this place!! read more

Waiters are friendly but food was not good. Chicken Biriyani has disgusting curry on the chicken. It is not authentic Burmese or any Asian food. I give 3 stars instead of 1 because of the friendly waiters. read more

Classic Chinese take-out fare that scratches that itch for something quick, cheap, and delicious in the American-Chinese food sort of way. We ordered the spicy basil tofu, vegetable fried rice and wonton soup - all of which were good. The dishes we ordered had no frills and no pretenses about being authentic, and were exactly what we wanted. Another plus was that they delivered straight to my hotel room (my friend and I were in town for a short business trip) which was incredibly convenient. read more

Best Burmese Food in the Bay! This place has the best Burmese food in all of San Francisco and Bay area. I found this place as soon as I moved to Burlingame almost 2 years ago when they first opened up and it has been constantly amazing Burmese food. The decor in the restaurant is a little hodge-podge and dated but the service is amazing. Very attentive and always nice! This is my go to place to take people or for takeout, as I have ordered from here more time than I care to admit and the food always tastes the same! My go to standout items are the Tea Leaf Salad, Samosa Salad or Samosa Soup (depending on the weather!), Nan Gyi Toke, Coconut Rice and either the Burmese Curry Pork or Pumpkin Pork Stew. Just to put it all in perspective -- my sister who used to live a few blocks from Burma Superstar in SF, asked me to bring her Yangon when I came to her house in Sacramento for her birthday. Don't pass this place up! read more

Have eaten here twice now. First time when they had just opened and again last night. So glad we gave them another try because the food was really amazing! Loved the salt and pepper fish and the beef and broccoli. Recommended!! read more

Visiting from LA area this was my first time visit to Burlingame - walked along the Broad Street which is full of different restaurants along both sides of the street. Then I noticed this Burmese restaurant. My colleague recommended to check out a Burmese restaurant, so I went in. The owner greeted me with kind and friendly smile, and the service was superb. The mango salad and Burmese lamb were delicious. I will definitely come back when next time in town. read more

Terrific decor. We definitely over ordered for two people but everything on the menu looked awesome and the prices were on point. We got the Tea Leaf Salad, Garlic Noodles w/ BBQ pork, and Curry Coconut chicken noodles. The only reason why we didn't finish was because there was too much food! Somehow, the Garlic Noodles tasted even more amazing left over (even though they were already terrific fresh). It's in a great location so you don't have to worry too much about parking, which is another reason why I'm giving them 5/5 stars. Would come back again whenever I'm feeling Burmese food! read more

Been eating here for about a year i work near by . It use to he real good good portions for your moneys worth went yesterday the portion was a joke even shortened the amount of rice they served up .....now this was to go so didnt check the box until i got back to work but was shocked by the amount that was in the box . I know times changed a prices and portions but i would rather pay a lil more for good portions . Hope you guys read this and change your procedures . read more

Did I miss something? Sorry, this place isn't good. The food was so bland no flavor whatsoever. Pros: the people were nice Cons: it's edible but not yummy Next time I'll stick with Mingalaba. read more

It was my first time visit here from Las Vegas and everything was good. We ordered mango salad, chicken curry, pork curry, fish curry and shrimp Kung Pao. All were delicious especially mango salad, fish curry and shrimp Kung Pao. The owner of the restaurant and his wife are really kind and nice. You won't feel disappointed when u go there. Oh one more thing, try mango lasee! read more

Wow! What a great dinner! The ambience is lovely. This is now added to our list of favorite restaurants.

It was pretty interesting, the mix of Burmese and Chinese, sorta heavy on the Chinese side, though if I'd wanted Burmese I should have gone to that kind of place. But the flavors were good and the stuff was fresh. My gf liked it a lot, and I can take it or leave it, but she wanted me to put in a good word for it, since it's not a huge place and their lighting is better than mmost Asian places. read more

While staying near San Francisco, we are really enjoying the great variety of dining experiences. Burlingame offers so many great places, and it was hard to pick. We were in the mood for something "Asian"or "Chinese" and decided to try this place. At first, we were a little bit put off by the cramped quarters, but we were there early so there was plenty of room. Our party of four ordered individual dishes, however we learned quickly that the portions were big enough to do a family-style meal. I didn't record everything that we ordered but we began with a sesame ginger salad that really set the tone for the entire meal. I knew we were in for a great time when our host delivered the salad... It was "unmixed"and upon arrival he told us about all the individual ingredients, and then began to toss it at our table. It was done with skill and class, which really is how everything was prepared. We were extremely happy with our meal and this restaurant is on our list of "must visit" while in the area! read more

Love Love Love this place! Tasty food, nice clean restraunt, wonderful service and great delivery. Everything here is delicious!

I am not one to write negative reviews but this was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. The sesame chicken was so salty it was unbearable, the sweet and sour chicken tasted like fish and the chow mien was very soggy and bland. I tossed my order in the garbage and will continue my search for a backup for when Oceanic restaurant is closed. read more

Great service great food. The mango salad included with the $9.95 lunch special was great! Generous portion. Also came with green tea. The food is not spicy at all if that's what you're looking for but very flavorful. Pot stickers were also very good with good dipping sauces. read more

Went and had a DELICIOUS lunch to celebrate my daughters 18th bday with my family... Food was amazing and Frank was awesome!! My family goes to his place often, my daughters and I drove from Monterey Ca and I would do it again... The service was very attentive, the food was brought out fast, Mango chicken was delicious, the coconut curry noodles were amazing, and Frank had us try a tea leaf salad that was delish .and the mango dessert was yummy!!! Can't wait to go back!! Thanks Frank for a great experience... Like I said open one out this way read more

Great staff, unbelievable food... I come here once a week, either sit in or delivery. I'm hooked! Not a single dish that I haven't liked. Eat here. You won't be disappointed! read more
