We tried out Yangon a week ago. They were getting ready to close, but seated us anyway. The food was delicious, but the star was the Samusa. I have never eaten one so full of flavor, with a crust which was perfectly crunchy and not too oily. I would give Yangon 5 stars, but the decor is very dated, and the chairs are old and covered with stained fabric. It put me off at first, but I'm glad we stayed. Next time I will order food to go next time with extra orders of the Samusa. read more

Best orange chicken I've had yet!! Wow, the cook of it is so amazing. Be sure to eat it right away for the best texture. When you bite into it, you will notice that the batter is so light and crispy. It's almost as though the outer "skin" is detached from the meat itself, that's how airy it is. The sauce is perfection too. Huge, huge fan. I went for lunch and my meal was part of the lunch specials menu, so it came with a small mango salad and rice. You can upgrade to coconut rice for an extra dollar. I wish the coconut rice was more sticky and moist. It was on the dry side, otherwise the meal was perfect. Comes out to $14.50 before tax and tip. My friends chow fun was also yummy and came with a good amount of protein (also from the lunch specials). The serving size is generous and the service is great. read more

Soooo Good! Have been eating here for years and everything is consistently wonderful. It's the best Burmese in the area, hands down! Plus a very very nice family who owns, cooks, and serve. The salt and pepper fish is startlingly great! read more

There aren't a ton of restaurants in Burlingame that appeal to me but when I saw Yangon in my yelp feed, the garlic noodles looked especially yummy. I made a detour for dinner and go the garlic noodles with bbq pork. I was served relatively quickly and both quality and quantity were solid. I think it was a bit too oily for my tummy though. read more

First time trying out Yangon and Burmese food. My wife and I are here in SFO for training, searched for a place to eat in Burlingame. Man, my wife struck gold with Yangon. We had their signature Tea Leave Salad, Burmese beef curry, and coconut rice. The food was excellent. read more

I ordered the okra chicken which is a Burmese dish. I ordered it spicier than normal and it was spiced just right. I also ordered the fried rice and that was very tasty as well. The service was spot on attentive but not too attentive. I believe I spoke to the owner and he was very friendly. One item I did not try but would like to the next time would be the tea leaf salad. read more

What a lovely establishment, ran by the nicest couple. We stopped by for a late lunch with the family on a Saturday. Everything was beautifully presented, delicious, and generous in portions. We had Burmese Chicken Burmese Style Curry Beef Coconut Noodle Soup Coconut Rice Mohinga Nan Gyi Toke Palatha My MIL is Burmese and she was impressed with the flavors and authenticity of the dishes we selected. Our family favorite was the Coconut Noodle Soup or Ow No Kow Soy. We will definitely be back for another visit! read more

Burmese is like most foods, hit or miss. The service here was horrible, what I didn't like is that they speak about the customers behind their backs. My friend understands their dialect and was translating the whole time. Quips about people who want to sit by the window, or who want hot water instead or cold water, or prejudging who will or will not tip more. The food here is just average. The coconut soup had very few noodles and had too much coconut broth. The pancake was lukewarm, and with the service, I'll just have to say it's 3 stars average. read more

Came for lunch and had a surprisingly great meal. Service was great and helpful. Will be back.

Ordered tea leaf salad to share and also Yangon noodle off the lunch special. I was very satisfied with both dishes. They both were very flavorful but not too salty. Price was pretty good for burlingame. Would come back again. read more

Ambiance is top knot. It's just there is something about the way that the restaurant is set up that made me feel like I'm in a different side of Burlingame! Very peaceful yet lively! Food is excellent despite their simple looks. We order the green tea salad (4/5) which was well seasoned and paired perfectly nice with our entrees, pork stew (4.5/5). The freshness from the cabbages plus the crunchiness from the nuts are probably the best that you're expecting in a green tea salad. The pork stew is a must-try if you're not sure what to order. The meat is tender and juicy while the stew are flavorful. It's excellent to pair with coconut rice (5/5) read more

I rarely do take out herebut got my food within a reasonable time and it was hot when it arrived. I requested medium spicy and it was...thank you! read more

Loved this place! We went a few minutes after they opened up at 5 so it was pretty empty at first. The server was extremely nice. We ordered samusas which were great, Shrimp&Walnut (the shrimp was so flavorful), and the Pumpkin curry chicken which was soo good! I just wish there was more sauce with the pumpkin curry but other than that it was good. The meals don't come with any rice which would have been ideal so you have to order the rice on the side. I'd try the coconut rice next time read more

Stepping into the restaurant, you would not think they would have such a low health score. The dining room has an upscale vibe with lots of mirrors, nice dinnerware, tablecloth, cloth napkins and victorian style seating. Service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered: Burmese falafel $7.45 Lamb kebat $15.95 Pumpkin chicken $14.95 Burmese rice $10.95 Nan Gyi Toke noodles $12.95 Lamb was most expensive but had a lot of onions, not enough lamb slices. The best dishes were Burmese rice and pumpkin chicken. Rice was a last minute addition because the pumpkin chicken was quite saucy. All of the dishes were done well and I appreciated the good services. Didn't see or hear anyone talking about customers like one reviewer mentioned. They speak Burmese and Mandarin here. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because each dish was rather small with minimal meat ratio. It took 5 dishes to feed 3 of us and one of us is only 9. Metered parking was easy to find on a Saturday around 2pm. Do note that meters are only for an hour. Most of the restaurant was empty when we dined. They had one party of two, seemed like regular Burmese diners. read more

My family of 4 have eaten here several times and the food is consistently good. We love the tea leaf salad, vegetable tofu kebat, coconut rice, and hot and sour soup. Several of my family members also ordered chicken or beef dishes which were prepared very well and delicious. The staff are very kind and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food and service. We had a late lunch at the outdoor patio. The portions were generous, and the food was not too greasy or salty. They have a wide variety of menu items. We'll be back. read more

When I was a kid growing up, one of my best friends was Burmese. This place tastes just like the food his mother used to make. The pumpkin chicken curry is very special. Delicious!! I also enjoyed the Burmese pork. The second night we went I had the Burmese beef, which was also special. The highlight of both meals was the coconut chicken soup appetizer. OMG! You gotta order this!! We all loved the coconut rice too. It's a small place, go and enjoy. Eric is a great server too. Very kind and attentive! read more

The chicken fried rice is incredible! Everything else we have ever ordered there is flavorful and delicious. The service is warm and welcoming. One time we went with a friend with a severe food allergy and they were very informed and accommodating. read more

Since a couple of years ago, when we had a disappointing experience from take-out, they have upped their game big time. What a gem, tucked away in the middle of basically nowhere. We ordered their tea leaf salad because well, I don't know how to go to a Burmese place and not get their signature dish. Their rendition is different from what I've usually had, e.g. it comes premixed and they add a touch of olive oil to the fermented tea leaves--it's smoky with toasted garlic, with a punch and crispy texture, tangy, everything with umami. Coconut rice to sop up the eggplant dish and okra/egg curry. This was amazing. Just incredible. Even if you think you don't like okra for all the reasons people say they don't, e.g. it's slimy, etc. trust me, these folks know how to do it right: they retain the crispy crunch and vibrant green, while removing every bit of the slime. Unless you're allergic, get it! The sauce is a perfect blend of spices, and we ordered everything mild, and that they retained it so it has tons and tons of flavor is beyond. We went for lunch, just as the family (who owns the place) was about to start having a Chinese New Year celebration/family meal of their own. They seated us and while we ate, we were treated to watching them have fun with each other, celebrating with what seemed to be a dozen whole crabs and dish after dish :-) The service was friendly and so incredibly welcoming and sweet, they definitely do not phone it in here, for example one of the guys went out of his way to tell us how they make their tea leaf salad. I guess he felt compelled to share, especially since he saw we were scraping every last bit of that plate, lol. There's parking out front and if you go off peak times, it's pretty easy. The prices were are more than reasonable. Btw., they also have Mandarin dishes on the menu, but we stuck with the Burmese, given that's a bit harder to get. read more

Service was relatively quick. Food was plentiful and very tasty. Have tried it many times and noodle dishes were great.

Mango chicken, coconut rice, garlic noodles and honey walnut prawns... but the lettuce chicken wraps were amazing. Also the corn chowder. Go every time I'm near there. Service is good - very clean. read more

Excellent food...great portions one entree feeds four all fresh ingredients......the owner is hands on and this jewel of a restaurant shows it...bon appetite!! read more

Nice and clean atmosphere unfortunately, the sweet-and-sour pork was very bland and it had no flavor

Excellent & friendly service. The food was delicious and very fresh. The atmosphere was very clean and service people were extremely polite, friendly and genuinely cared for the satisfaction of customers. All in all a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back! read more

I had to give this place 4 stars solely because I haven't been in the actual restaurant to know what the ambiance or set up is like. And even though we ordered through DoorDash , the food arrived pretty quickly and service was prompt. We had the orange chicken, chicken fried rice and chicken potstickers. Everything was very delicious. They've certainly earned another customer in me. read more

The interior decor was really nice. The food was really good too. Had a few curries and appetizers to share. Definitely would recommend their curries, not to say that their appetizers weren't good. Prices were also affordable, and the family who owns the place was really nice. read more

While the food was tasty, the portions were ridiculously small for the price paid. The sesame orange chicken had more breading than chicken. The Burmese curry chicken came in a tiny , small round container and contained more potato than chicken. For $17, I expected more. The tea leaf salad box was not even half full and not very many peanuts In short, tasty but Overpriced with small portions. read more

The service was amazing! They were on point. Soooo friendly and nice. The food was great! First time at this Burmese restaurant with a large party. Favorite was the Mango Chicken and Basil chicken. read more

Nostalgic go-to place that has a wide variety of food. My wife was craving tea leaf salad and congee, and this place did not disappoint.

I would give this restaurant 4.5! The staff was pleasant. I enjoyed the fish chowder... it wasn't too thick like our favorite burmese restaurant in SJ, it was just refreshing, and i feel like i can just keep eating it. It had the thin noodles which was great, again, it doesn't make you too full, especially when you have to still eat the main entree. The flavors were amazing-i could taste the garlic, lime, fish sauce, cilantro! The okra fish was tasty, while the burmese chicken curry was an interesting flavor, we can totally taste the cumin, borderline dominating. I love the decor at this spot... nice chandeliers, classy chairs, nice plates! All in all, it was a great experience! read more

It was our first time trying Burmese food and we were very pleased with our food and the locale. There was a slight issue with the service as our waiter had to handle the whole place by himself. However, I would still highly recommend! read more

One of our local favorites in the area when in the mood for Burmese. Pumpkin pork stew, basil beef, tea leaf salad are our favorites. It's my wife's favorites as well which we ordered for our party and it was a hit. This family run restaurant is run well and very catering. We've been supporting them for years! read more

We went here prior to taking a flight. I have never had such good Chinese food in my life. My girl said it was much better than Panda Express . The flavors were out of this world and the staff is so personable and warm. I wish we were closer. We'd become regulars! read more

So good!! Such a cute little hidden gem. We got the Burmese Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Fish, Eggplant in Garlic Sauce, and Honey Walnut Shrimp - 10's across the board. The food also came out HOT, which we love. The service was amazing - the gentlemen who served us is super kind and helpful, we had no qualms about the experience at all. Highly suggest folks come try this place. Super fire! read more
