The few suggested things to consider are exactly the problems we experienced -- food, service and ambiance! Burma, Burma and Burma 2 are 2 of our favorite restaurants we go to. There was absolutely no service provided to us while we were there! We were provided with water when we were seated and everything else we needed, we had to ask for! We had to ask for someone to take our order, we had to ask for drink refills, we had to ask for the check. Two of orders were for green beans. My husband and I ALWAYS order Burma Green Beans, no matter what else we order. They were overcooked and mushy and inedible! Normally, i would ask for an item to be reprepared, but the ambiance, i.e. noise level was so loud, we just wanted to get out of there as soon as we could! It was about 7:00pm on a Friday night. Am I relegated to only going mid-week or for lunch? The acoustics are horrible! read more

The food is good but the portions are small, so I'm not convinced it's worth the cost. The service was good as well. Parking is a little tough in that area. read more

I had great amazon experience here, I would come back and try their popular dish: Tea Leaf Salad, Sesame Beef, OHN-NO KHAO SWE. Our table had 8 people and one kid but the food came out pretty fast and service was 9/10. Food here same very cooked with a healthy way I not feeling any heartburn after eating. read more

Ordered: Chicken and Shrimp Briyani Village Catfish Hazy IPA Tea Served 2 People Today we came her to celebrate my BIRTHDAY. Just my mom and I. She never had Burmese cuisine before, but heard good things about it. She was especially excited to try briyani. My favorite was the Briyani. I do wish that the chicken was more tender and that the dish came with more sauce. It came with a lot of sauce, I just love extra sauce. This dish was perfect, and I can't wait to have it again. My mom's favorite dish was the Village Catfish. While I enjoyed it, it would not be something that I would order again. My ONE suggestion would be to ask for some hot sauce on the side. It has a good kick, and pairs well with all the food. I liked how the spice, did not change the flavor profile of the dishes. Some hot sauces will had a taste to food (like vinegar). I wish I asked for some to go. The service provided by Carlos was exceptional! He made our time there very pleasant. I will definitely be coming here again. read more

An impromptu Sunday early dinner after the embroidery show at Lester Art center for my friends and I. The six of us were able to get a corner table, no wait. We got a vegetarian feast - with pad Thai, mango tofu, tea leaf salad, dry curry, and eggplant dish, with a variety of mighty leaf tea and Burmese tea. My favorite was the mango tofu, with fresh mango! The pad Thai was flavorful and hit the spot. The dry curry was unique but good. I also love the number of gluten free options. read more

We had lunch at Burma 2 on a Saturday, and although there were many open seats inside and out, the service provided was minimal. It appeared that everyone was running around, not knowing what to do. My companion made several comments to me about how bad the service at the restaurant was. The food was good and fresh. The reason for the one-star review is that I accidentally left my business debit card at the table. 2 days later, while I was far away in another state, I realized it was no longer in my possession. I immediately checked my bank account and saw that the last transaction was from Burma 2, with no other charges. I called the restaurant and, after three attempts, got nowhere trying to talk to someone. No matter what I did, I could not get anyone on the phone, it would just cut me off. However, a man from the restaurant called me back right away. I explained my situation, and he confirmed that the card was there. I explained I was out of town and asked if he would be so kind as to mail the card to me. He agreed with what I noticed was a bit of reluctance, which I found odd. I returned two days later, and it had not come. A week after I'd left it at the restaurant, it still hadn't arrived, so I called again. I spoke to the same person, who chuckled slightly when I explained my circumstances, and, again with a slight chuckle, said, "Maybe it will come on Monday." One week after our first conversation, the card still has not arrived. Today, I had to go to the bank to get a new card issued and complete the hours-long task of changing all my services that used the card to the new billing information. I have no proof that he did not send it, but I suspect he did not, based on his reluctance in the first conversation and the slight chuckles in the second. This is a bad way to do business, and although I really enjoyed this restaurant on numerous previous occasions, I won't go back. The low-level customer service during dining, the difficulty in getting through to a living person, the whole reaction to my having left the card, and the fact that it never did arrive. I'm done. You may have saved yourself a postage stamp, but you've lost two customers based on this event. read more

We just had the nicest time here! Thank you so much to the entire staff for being so kind & so helpful! We started with Cocktails & Samosas. Both were very good! Classy Liche Martini, bourbon straight up, beer back & margaritas! Yay us! Samosas were flavorful, fresh & large! After visiting & drinking, we ordered: Garlic Noodles with Chicken; Mixed Vegetables Curry; Lamb Kebat; Mint Jalepeno Chicken; coconut rice and fried tofu. All were fantastic! I'm going back soon to have coconut rice & Mint Jalepeno Chicken all to myself. Not going to share! Ambiance is nice, clean, modern & accommodating. Thank you Burma2 for helping us celebrate two birthdays! read more

This is an excellent place for vegetarians and vegans. You can almost substitute just about any dish with tofu for protein. The service was good, food was also good. The sauces on the side are very small so I suggest ordering extra. The food itself was fresh and healthy. Would definitely come back. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring the outdoor mall. We went with a friend who's vegan and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegan options available. Had to try my typical dishes (tea leaf salad and chicken coconut curry soup). My friend ordered the vegan version of the coconut curry soup and loved it. Our orders came out pretty quickly and everything tasted really good. Adding this to my list of Burmese restaurants to return to. read more

I'm usually a pretty harsh critic on the restaurants in downtown Walnut Creek. The restaurants in the area feel overpriced based on what you get. Burma 2 is an exception - I really liked the meal we had there. We were seated outside. Nice setup on the outside but shade is limited. Our waitress was super friendly and was gracious with her time given it took a while for our whole party to arrive. We didn't know what to get, so she was able to give some great suggestions. We started with appetizers. Both knocked it out of the park. Samosas were beautifully fried with crisp fried spring roll wrappers. The palata - crispy and flaky flatbread with curry. Had to go with the tea leaf salad. Waitress recommended half cabbage, half romaine and I'm glad we went with that selection. All cabbage would have been way too much chewing. Another highly recommended dish. I can't even pick between the other dishes since they were all solid - very flavorful and different from each other. Recommend getting coconut rice as it goes well with most of the dishes. I don't think you can go wrong, but the staff is really helpful if you need some guidance with the menu. read more

Great food, nice place, attentive service and love the location, took my parents here when they were visiting and they loved it

Unique food experience that you probably won't have many opportunities to try elsewhere. Popular spot to eat, upbeat & attentive staff, full bar, and you cannot go wrong with the dishes your order. Got the tea salad, coconut rice, sesame beef, and jalapeño mint chicken. The only dilemma is is next time I go I'd want to order the whole menu read more

I think it is roughly once or twice a year that I enjoy a meal in the Walnut Creek area, either a birthday meal for my cousin and me, or celebrating my Aunt's birthday. So, her birthday is in a week, and this is a place she frequents yet I had yet to go. I am leaving this as a 3 for me, but as a 3.5 for my aunt (as this is one of her faves) While they are unemotional during their service, the restaurant itself was very accommodating in regards to food allergies (and a few personal tastes). Our drinks were always refilled, so while a little "wooden," the service was on point. My dish was a rice noodle dish served with coconut curry, chicken, and a hard boiled egg. It came out hot, and I thought the flavor was amazing....and then a little not so much. I mean, the flavor was still good, but after awhile....it got a little dull. There were not any veggies in it, so the majority of the texture was noodles (with an occasional shred of chicken), and.......for a curry, it was kind of bland. When I say "bland," I mean not flavorless, but....not spicy....and I mean, not at all. It definitely could have used a kick. My Aunt loved her go to's, and the food was definitely attractive enough. Not bad.....and pretty good. Just....I've had better. This falls into my "Probably wouldn't suggest it, but if invited, I would have no problem going" type category. Happy eating, y'all read more

Burma 2 - Good....but needed a "zing" - Burmese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I tried this place for Burmese food, and it was nice! We ordered Burma noodles, tea leaf salad, and palata with lamb curry. The noodles are tasty and the lamb curry was soft and tender . The tea leaf salad was good, but I've had better ones before . Felt all are good, fresh & tasty. Their spicy hot sauce is amazing! If you like spicy food, you should try it. The ambience was good , and the service was friendly, but a bit slow . They also have good options for vegans, which is great! Overall, a good experience, just hope the service can be faster next time. read more

Enjoyed a pleasant dinner out with the ladies. If you love Indian and Thai food; then this is the place for you! We ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, Palata with chicken curry, Samosas, and 2 different curry dishes. It was fabulous! Customer service never lagged. Well done Burma 2! read more

Everything fresh and flavorful. My daughter is from Burma and this place is her go to for comfort food.

Excellent service and good food. I forgot her name but our waitress was really good and attentive and even offered to swap out the biryani rice because it was too spicy for us. Five stars for her! We got the dry chicken curry, rice and tea leaf salad between the two of us. We were very hungry after a hike and we finished all of the food. Coconut rice is delicious but the biryani rice is only for the brave. read more

I came here with my coworkers and it was my first time eating Burmese food. Let me tell you, if you haven't tried it yet, you need to. The food is so good!!!!!!!!!! We sampled pretty much all of it. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. The service is the best, the workers there also have recommendations on what to choose based on our liking pallets. The ambiance is pretty busy. We went during the summer time so there was a lot of people about. read more

We went to Burma 2 on a Monday early evening and were seated immediately. They do not take reservations but there was plenty of seating during this time. We ordered the tea leaf salad, palata with chicken curry, burmese fried chicken and samosas. All of the dishes were flavored so well! We also ordered drinks. I had the Burmese python which I would order again but it wasn't very spicy. Also, the bartender shared with us a lemon drop yuzu drink that they were thinking of adding to the menu on the house! The restaurant is clean and the service excellent. The waiter checked in on us multiple times and the food came out quickly. I would definitely recommend coming to Burma 2 and I will be back again! read more

Burma 2 - Tea Leaf Salad - Burmese Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

9/24/22 We stopped by Burma 2 for a late lunch after our hike around Mt. Diablo. We were able to park on the same block as the restaurant. The restaurant itself was not busy so we were able to get a table out on the patio quickly. Our waiter brought out menus and refreshing water that was infused with cucumber. Here's what we got to share: 1. Samosas 2. Burmese style lamb curry 3. Palata 4. Burmese garlic noodle with chicken Both appetizers came out in 5 minutes, hot and fresh. There was actual chicken in the curry that came with the palata, which we were genuinely surprised. That small bowl of curry was really good and the palata was flaky and buttery. The samosas was crispy outside, with a hot potato filling that was very flavorful. The curry and the garlic noodles came out not long after. We enjoyed the entrees as much as the appetizers. For the garlic noodles, I liked these thinner noodles mixed with the shredded cucumber. The cucumber was a nice cool and crisp contrast in taste to the garlicky noodle. The lamb was a little on the tougher side for me but the flavor overall was delicious. Zach loved the lamb curry since he likes lamb more than me and the spice level was to his liking. The waiters were very on top of keeping our water cups full as well. Needless to say, we both had a food coma afterwards and we both agreed that Burma 2 would be a restaurant that we would return to in the future :) read more

Service prompt. Staff: polite Chili String beans: tasty. Fried chicken: they are pieces tossed in fruits and veggies. Not what I expected however, tasty but chewy. Garlic noodles with roasted duck: couldn't taste the garlic in the noodle but the overall dish tasted odd. Not sure if it was the garlic, duck or sauce used but taste was not good. read more

Friendly and attentive staff - place got pretty full on a Wednesday evening. Everything we tried was delicious and water glass was never without water. Tea leaf was already tossed and I think I prefer it when I toss it so I can admire the different colors of the plate. It's ok it is probably how the resto serves it usually. Catfish was flavorful and garlic noodles was cooked nicely. Have never had the semolina cake before and it was delicious and perfect pairing with the mango ice cream that it came with on the plate. Pricing was very reasonable considering it's downtown location and competition. read more

Burma 2 is amazing! Everyone will find something they absolutely love here. My wife is a vegetarian and there are so many good choices she never gets bored. The Palata is one of the best 3 dishes I've eaten in my lifetime. Not kidding. The lamb or vegetarian versions are the best. Great samosas! The mint jalapeño chicken is amazing. My favorite chicken dish is the Burmese curry. Always start with the tea leaf salad. Their noodle dishes are great too. This place is amazing. You owe it to yourself to give them a try. read more

IDK if I came in on a weird day, but the night we were here, the EDM was b l a s t i n. A DJ was stationed at the front, mixing live. I felt like I was in a club more than a restaurant, to the point it actually was giving me a headache. We, among other diners, were yelling to hear each other across the table. And throughout the night, the volume kept increasing. I CAN ONLY HANDLE THE BEAT DROPPING SO MANY TIMES AT 8PM. Maybe it's their super-effective way of keeping customers from staying longer than needed (even though we were here at 8:00 pm-9:30 pm, nowhere near the last customers there, and they close at 10:00 pm)??????????? That being said, the food is amazing. Our group of 3 walked in on a Friday night and were seated immediately. Service is friendly, albeit a bit slow and didn't fill water often. SALT PEPPER CALAMARI: So lightly crispy & savory! Seasoned well. And none of that soggy BS. This breading is legit. MANGO CHICKEN: This is fiiiire. The mango sauce actually tastes like fresh mango-- went well with the slightly spiced, tender chicken. Generous protein portions. Great with jasmine rice :-) I would prob come back only for lunch to avoid the EDM noise fest ._. Or maybe takeout only. read more

Every single dish is absolutely delicious here! This may be one of my favorite restaurants in Walnut Creek. The food is flavorful and fresh. The service is always nice and very quick. I crave Burma at least once a week since visiting this restaurant the first time. The Tea Leaf salad, salt and pepper shrimp and lamb were some of our favorites. But all the dishes are fantastic, you can't go wrong dining here! read more

Burma 2 is quite good! We've gone a couple times had a variety of things from each part of their menu and I haven't been disappointed with any of them. We've had more than this, but off the top of my head I can remember having the mango salad, sesame tofu, lettuce wraps, walnut shrimp and broccoli with beef and they were all very tasty. Bonus is that many of their dishes are gluten-free which means I can try tons of things there. This will be one of our new go-tos in the east bay for sure. read more

Excellent food ! Wonderful service very helpful and friendly staff! We are inside but both the outdoor and indoor dining were very nice and had a cozy feel! The Burmese tea is delicious! read more

We called ahead to let them know we have a large party and dropped off a cake in advance for a birthday dinner. They don't take reservations, so we even sent someone over early to put our party's name down prior to arriving, as the restaurant suggested. Dinner was tasty and fine, but service was subpar. Not sure how all persons we touched based with also forgot about our cake and the birthday celebration but we witnessed other tables having more attentive service. We finally flagged down a worker to let them know again after we had finished and were just waiting around-- which defeats the whole celebratory experience. Not sure if we will be back as there are other good Burmese spots with far better service in the Bay Area read more

Loved it! Friendly helpful staff, wonderful bartender (Manny?) and good manager (Andy) and great kitchen staff prepared wonderful dishes - we are going back soon! Prices reasonable, portions good sized, flavors varied and delightful. We had lamb curry with amazingly tasty lamb and delicious vegetables. Fried rice was terrific as was the tea leaf salad. Nice ambiance too. Best food we've had on Main Street Walnut Creek. read more

I found this place on Check please Bay Area show. I went in to order since they couldn't hear me on the phone call, it took around 20 minutes for the food to be ready. I got the following: Cat Fish chowder- this would have been better eaten at the restaurant, the flavors were there but the noodles were crazy stuck in a chunk by the time we got it to the house. Burma burma noodles, I liked the lemon tang but my family didn't. Tasted like a cold noodle salad. Eggplant with garlic prawns was one of my favorites. The sauce was good the prawns were big Sesame beef can't go wrong with sugary fried beef, right? Paratha with chicken curry dip- another dish that would have been better in house. It went soggy by the time we got home. Curry was tasty. Beef curry was tender but just ok for me. It honestly just tasted like a beef stew with potatoes. Garlic noodles with duck was a bit plain for me but my family liked that one since they like plain food. Overall everything was good, I would go back and eat there next time. read more

Updated review after speaking to the manager 07/30/25 around 5 pm: Today I spoke with Justin, after my initial review. He did say "sorry it happened," which I appreciate, but the call didn't feel aimed at fixing the problem. It felt more like explaining why nothing more would be done. For anyone reading: it was the manager who spilled the curry soup on my almost $400 Slvrlake jeans, offered me a Tide pen, and brought me the full bill. No discount, no offer for cleaning -- just the Tide pen as single gesture of kindness and care. On our call, Justin explained the restaurant's position: * Tables and chairs may sometimes be dirty, and guests wearing expensive clothing should manage expectations accordingly. * As a "small company," they can't afford to replace expensive clothing unless "a lot" is spilled. Exactly how "a lot" is measured wasn't clarified -- is there an official curry-to-denim percentage chart? A surface area threshold? Or is it decided table by table? Justin said the Tide pen was a sufficient gesture to address the stains on my jeans. It wasn't -- and it doesn't change the fact that nearly $400 jeans are now unwearable. I had assumed a clean table and chair was part of the baseline service in a restaurant -- perhaps that expectation was unreasonable on my part. I'll leave that policy, and how they'd like to address this, to management. Reply to the manager 07/30/25 approximately 4:30 pm: Thank you, Justin, for your response. For anyone reading: it was the manager who spilled the soup, the manager who offered me a Tide pen, and the manager who brought me the full bill. No discount, no offer for cleaning -- just the Tide pen as the sole gesture. Accidents happen, but on $400 light denim, a curry spill turns "light wash" into "retired from wear." I appreciate the invitation to call and will reach out directly to the restaurant. read more

4 out of 5 stars for Burma 2 Burma 2 was a great spot! The *Burma noodles* were amazing--packed with flavor and cooked just right. The *palata* was a favorite too--crispy, buttery, and perfect for dipping in the curry. Service was solid and so was the ambiance outside. Definitely worth a visit! read more

My green beans were so soggy I expected it to be crunchier so if that's my fault then I would give it a 4 stars, the flavor just wasn't there for me.

It was my first time eating at this restaurant but our overall experience was incredible - one of the best ! We started by walking from the plaza which is about a ten minute walk . We were greeted with such kindness--. Our server was so much fun , he spoke with us as we were friends . Giving us great suggestions and sparking up countless conversations. You could tell he loves his job . I want to say the owner or manager kept checking and making sure everything was going well. Plus our water server would refill our cups after only a few sips . Honestly , the best service we could have asked. The place is clean , on the smaller side but plenty of seating with a full bar . The price was decent and paid under 90$ for 3 people with food, drinks,and alcohol . Our food was delicious- garlic noodles had a kick but ultimately a taste like no other , the size of the portion was more than enough for leftovers . I felt so welcomed and comfortable-- and we will be returning & highly encourage a visit . read more
