I love this place! Great food, reasonable prices and a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

Growing up eating Burmese food at home, I rarely go out for it because nothing ever compares to homemade. That's why I was pleasantly surprised by Burma Town. The flavors were authentic and flavorful without being overly Americanized. The pork curry was absolutely delicious and is definitely a must-order. I also got the tea leaf salad and immediately wished I had ordered the large because you can never have enough tea leaf salad. The palata was a great starter -- flaky, warm, and exactly what you'd want. The miso black cod was another standout. The broth it was simmered in was incredibly flavorful, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The garlic noodles were also done really well with the right noodles and great flavor -- honestly better than some places known specifically for garlic noodles. And of course, the coconut rice is always worth ordering. We skipped dessert since nothing really stood out, but I would love to see them add more traditional Burmese desserts like faluda in the future. Parking wasn't too difficult, especially if you circle around the back neighborhood area. The wait was reasonable, the outdoor patio seating was nice, and the service was attentive throughout the meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving Burmese food. read more

Burmatown looked pretty good from the Yelp pictures I've seen. The rating was high with a good amount of reviews, all the Michelin / Top Restaurant stickers displayed on the window indicated that it was good, and they had a waitlist going on a little past 5PM on a Saturday! I didn't realize this place was so popular, but thankfully, we only waited around 15 mins before we got an indoor booth seat. They had plenty of tables indoors and a sizable outdoor area for seating. For our table of four, we decided to do family style and share everything. We got: 1) Tea Leaf Salad (L). Very nicely flavored, but not overly saucy. There was a sizable amount of romaine lettuce used as the base and a lot of different toppings. I saw some tomatoes, jalapenos, fried garlic, and a lot of different seeds/nuts which added lots of different crunchy texture. Definitely recommend getting this one as a refreshing appetizer. 2) Burmatown Bao x 2. One with Korean ribeye bao and one ginger chicken bao. This was a bit of a let down. The buns weren't particularly warm to touch nor were they fluffy and it just didn't have that pillowy, soft chew you get with freshly steamed baos. The filling was okay. I shared the ginger chicken and there was nice ginger flavor to it overall. 3) Platha & Dip. This one was a little unusual as we thought the bread would be thinner and a little more crispy. There was flakey layers, but the Platha bites were as thick as my phone. I still liked the flavor and flakiness, but I think we all just expected something lighter. The curry dip that it came with was pretty light though. 4) Mushroom Medley Garlic Noodles. I don't usually opt for garlic noodles, but I expected garlic noodles to taste more garlicky and these noodles weren't really hitting that flavor profile. The noodles were softer than I'd like it to be (not al dente enough imo) and I feel like they really skimped on the mushrooms. A little more bland than I expected for garlic noodles. 5) Crispy Angel Wings. Now these were not bad. I like that they gave both drumsticks and wings so it pleases both drumstick lovers and wing lovers as well. Sauce was pretty sticky and thick, so it coated the skins of the wings nicely. Wings stayed crispy despite being covered in sauce. I just wish they gave more for that price point. 6) Traditional Burmese Coconut Cake. This came with a side of peach ice cream (I'm guessing the flavor based off taste since it wasn't indicated), some whip cream, and some strawberries. It's nice that they cut it in four pieces already for even sharing. It was light, fluffy, and slightly warm. Kinda reminds me of a lighter pound cake or a spin off of a banana bread. It was sweet and yummy. Aside from food, service was pretty good. The tea leaves were mixed thoroughly for us. We had plenty of water refills and there were occasional check-ins. It was a nice place to try out. read more

I forgot to put a review here after eating here several times. I work in Sausalito so it's not too far and I've brought coworkers here to eat. The food is very good. I've had the tea leaf salad and BBQ pork garlic noodles. I sadly can no longer eat red meat but the BBQ pork was delicious and the garlic noodles were not overly greasy. I forgot to also include that the tea leaf salad here is one of the best I've had! My coworker that I brought there last year had never had Burmese food and I had her try the Tea Leaf Salad (my personal favourite) and she loved it and insisted that was the best salad she's ever had. We're from the South so our palette is different, lol. This place also has a lot of fusion dishes and is very friendly to vegans and vegetarians. This is very important for me due to dietary restrictions. The restaurant was very clean, the decoration was cute and the owner's daughter was incredibly kind. She told us that her mother's recipes were used for the restaurant. I'll be bringing my partner and other friends here when we have time. The only issue is the parking. Parking is insanely frustrating in this area but this place is worth it. Just carpool together and go! The owner's daughter also has a really good memory since we couldn't come back for several months and she still remembered us and our request for ube cheesecake, lol. Edit: Oops, I meant original owner's daughter. I'm not sure if she's the owner now or her mom. Either way, the food is great and service is always kind. It feels especially kind when owners of the business are passionate about their food and encourage their customers! I found the pictures and uploaded them (oops, it was from 2024 not last year too). read more

Absolutely pleased with the fine fare we had for dinner last night at Burmatown. This place is always so hard to get in to, and we see why. The food is fantastic, the drink choices are top notch, and service was efficient. We had the tea leaf salad (a MUST), chef's special rice rolls app made vegan w tofu, silken tofu (spicy but oooohhhh so good), and the mushroom noodle entree. We were so full, but still had the mango tapioca dessert (vegan by omitting ice cream and whip cream). We each also had a glass of white wine, a blend for me and Gruner Veltliner for my husband. Definitely recommend, and we will be back again soon! read more

Burmatown is somewhere you go to widen your palate. I'd never tasted food quite like this and so it was an experience. We loved the food, although it was a little more expensive than we would've liked, it's understandable. You can tell the care that goes into making these dishes. Service was good and the place is comfortable. read more

Burmatown has officially won my heart. A big bowl of noodles turns a sad day right around to happiness. On a Thursday at 6 pm, there was already a wait. Tables opened up quickly before I could order a drink. I sat, got a glass of wine, and received wonderful recommendations for dinner. I ordered an epic meal to uplift my almost Friday vibes. The space is simple, energetic, and happy. The staff are always super and kind. They serve lunch and dinner now. Love the outdoor patio seating. Don't skip the noodles - any option will do. I love a good vegetable and their green beans was just what I needed. The curry dishes are also top notch and full of flavor. Let's just say, I'll be back to try other items on the menu. Save room for dessert :). read more

We had to wait for a while to get a table for 3 on a Friday night. We were told 30-40 mins, but the wait ended up being just over an hour. Nonetheless, our expectations were high. We ordered a bunch of things: - Shrimp and pork dumplings - 4/5. 6 dumplings in soy sauce. Lukewarm temperature. - Bbq pork garlic noodles - 4/5. The pork was flavorful, with the garlic noodles having a slightly sweet taste. Again disappointed with the dish being lukewarm when served. - Bao - 4/5. We got 2; beef and shrimp. - Tea leaf salad - 5/5. Hit the spot with the flavors and textures - Miso cod - 5/5. Complex flavors and delicious and well cooked cod. - Thai tea panna cota - 2/5. Disappointed with this one. read more

I meant to write this review last weekend. This is one of those places that I will never forget! I will definitely have to go back again and soon!!! The food was so good and the service was excellent!!! This place was packed when we got there. Yet, every single server and one of the owners was at our table. At one point or another. Excellent customer service!!! The prices are super reasonable. Especially when you look at somewhere like Burma Superstar! I love the food there, but this is even better!!! Which I never thought I would say. Their Tea Leaf Salad... was so good!!! if you've never had it... I would highly recommend trying it! It won't be at all like what you think it'll be. Just make sure to read all the ingredients. Since there are nuts in it. We ordered the Thai Basil Shrimp Stir Fry. Our waiter Max, recommended that we get rid of the green beans and get mixed vegetables instead. Which was such a good suggestion!!! The mixed vegetables were a perfect blend. So dang delicious!!! Especially since we already ordered... the Chili Garlic Green Beans. That would've just been overkill on green beans! These green beans were crisp and delicious!!! Yum!!! We ordered... the Mushroom Medley Garlic Noodles. These were so good!!! They're even better than the next day! Sense of absorb of all the flavor of the mushrooms and garlic. So amazingly delicious!!! definitely one of my favorite dishes! We ordered... the Coconut Chicken Curry with Squash. I wasn't as impressed with this dish. Only because it doesn't have a very strong curry flavor. It definitely tasted better the next day! Even the squash tasted better than the next day. Since it absorbed more of the curry flavor. I don't think I would've ordered this dish again. Yet, I'm sure they have so many other great dishes to order. Their Manuel selection is better than most Burmese restaurants. They had a few dishes I've never had before. Shout out to one of the owners... Jennifer! She was super nice and provided excellent service! We told her that it was our mom's birthday recently. She was so sweet and brought out dessert for my mom. Without us even asking. They even had the staff singing happy birthday to my mom. It was such a great experience!!! This is definitely up there... in my top five favorite places to eat! I think it earned my #2 favorite place to eat! This is definitely somewhere you will want to check out! Just keep in mind they get very busy. The outdoor seating is amazing, but it gets packed really quick. They get a lot of takeout orders. Yet as busy as they get. I would definitely say it's worth eating there. Just for the experience and the overall great service! read more

I've never had Burmese food before and this was an amazing first experience. We came on a Friday night at like 5ish. Parking wasn't too bad, was able to find street parking a block away. The place itself was maybe half full? We were immediately greeted and sat. We chose to sit inside and the ambiance is a bit on the darker side but the sun coming in from the open front kept it feeling bright and open. We ordered the tea leaf salad, chicken wings, samosas, kanpachi crudo, and bbq pork garlic noodles. Tea leaf salad first was delicious. Super bright and acidic but also umami from the super strong fish sauce. I loved the variety of texture as well. Chicken wings were also really good. Crunchy but also saucy. Juicy and straight off the stove. Samosas were crispy and the sweet chili sauce was the best dipping sauce choice. Kanpachi crudo was from the special menu and that was also really yummy. There were slices of peaches and avocado layered on the fish, which surprisingly went together really well. Fish was super fresh too. Bbq garlic noodles were absolutely the bomb. Noodles were perfectly squishy and chewy, the flavor was so addicting, and the bits of bbq pork were tender and flavorful. The portion size is also great. For dessert, we got the mango coconut tapioca dessert. It had actual bits of coconut and came with ube ice cream and whipped cream. That was good too, but hard to mess that up haha Service throughout the meal was really good! It definitely started getting busy throughout our meal, but that didn't slow the attentive service. Our server also graciously helped us pick the best things from the menu when we were being indecisive lol Overall, amazing experience! Coming from the east bay, this is worth the bridge toll to visit! read more

Came here for my friend's birthday dinner a couple months back. We had a party of about ten people, and were accommodated to sit in the center tables upon entering the restaurant. Outside, parking may or may not be tough to find depending on how busy it is (e.g. weekends vs. weekdays). I ended up parking two blocks down since it was a very busy weekend! Inside the restaurant, you're welcomed by warm lighting, the bustle of chats among diners, and a very long walk to the back of the restaurant. The place is cozy indeed. We had ordered family style, and I was able to try the following: - Samosas: Decent, it wasn't as flavorful as other places I've been to so I was wondering if it was its own variation. - Pratha and dip: Pratha was nice and flakey, dip was a bit too liquidy for my liking. - Tea leaf salad: Decent; it was refreshing but wasn't as flavorful as other Burmese places I've eaten at in the Bay Area. - Mango salad: This was probably my favorite; it was light, tangy, and nicely shredded. - BBQ pork garlic noodles: Tasty and came in a huge portion! If you order it, please note that it would ideal to share this with 1-2 other people. - Strawberry watermelon wine (Nero d'avola rosato): Light, refreshing, and personally paired really well with the Mango salad in my opinion! Staff were nice here and did their best to work with our large group. I wasn't super blown away by the food here, but if you're really craving Burmese style dishes while in the area, this would probably be the most accessible spot to hit up. read more

Burmatown - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

The food was good. We arrived at 5:30 pm. They cannot accommodate 5 for a reservation. The table we had inside was a long rectangle-not conducive to talking/hearing. The inside was loud and a bit rushed. I would only return as a couple ( not 5 people). I would only eat outside due to the noise inside. Also, the sun sets at the window so you're blinded to seeing silhouettes only.. basically, I was uncomfortable with heat, noise and table arrangement to not enjoy the restaurant. It's my second time and I won't return. read more

If it wasn't considered rude, we probably would have licked the plates! We had the Burmatown Bao Buns and the Thai Basil Stir Fry. NA Sparkling POG Lemonade and Ginger Arnold Palmer. So, so good.

The moment I stepped into the restaurant the smell of the food was soo aromatic and I felt 10x hungrier. (It was torture) Me n my friend couldn't wait much longer. It was a Saturday night and the wait was about 1.5 hrs. There's a Yelp waitlist but it wasn't working and I think it might have been because the wait was too long so we had to sign up for the waitlist in person. We opted for takeout and honestly I have no regrets. We got : -tea leaf salad (pre-mixed) - I love that they have a premix option because it would have been so hard for me to do this in my hotel room LOL. The flavors were soo good and refreshing! -crispy angel wings- still so crispy and juicy when we got back! The flavor of the wings were perfectly balanced and they reminded me of fish sauce wings -mushroom medley garlic noodles- so umami and yummy if you love mushrooms. I wish they didn't skimp on the togarashi though.. they gave me enough for like 3 bites haha Overall I'd def try to dine in next time! But honestly the takeout really hit that day as well! read more

It was definitely a rainy day in the Bay Area, so we were all trying to take cover. When we drove up people were huddled trying to stay dry as much as possible. Once, we walked in the place was bustling, and the hostess was super welcoming. The service was outstanding and the waiter was friendly. He gave us good food recommendations. We probably ordered too much food. The wings were tasty, the noodles were delicious, and the curry was fulfilling and flavorful. The portions were bigger than expected. read more

This place was busy on a weekday dinner! There place had a line at 7pm at night. We went to grab carry out and when we arrived they were packing up the order to go so had to wait a little. We ordered a large variety of dishes and they were all decent. I would say more fusion food than Burmese. We ordered the tea leaf salad, pratha with curry, ribs, wings, mushroom garlic noodles, bbq pork garlic noodles, green beans, cold tofu and wontons. The ribs and wings has good flavor, tasted similarly. I felt like the ribs were a bit overcooked as they were a little dry. The pratha was good, thick and flavorful with the curry. The garlic noodles were probably one of the better dishes along with the green beans. We also got some of the Thai tea, which was quite good here. read more

A personal favorite, close to heart! I love supporting this small family owned business in a small pocket of town. The place is always packed with locals, visitors that drive near or far to experience this little gem. Always consistent in their presentation, deliverance and seasonal sweets. Sometimes, you may have "Mom" come out and say hello from the kitchen. The tea leaf salad is always a classic, house garlic noodles, miso cod with seasonal greens, ribs and seasonal dessert is wonderfully made and delivered. Whether sitting at the bar, or dining in the main, or outdoors, there is never a bad seat in the place. Thanks for being a favorite, Burmatown! read more

The San Francisco Bay Area has one of the largest Burmese communities in the country, and no spot is better (word spreads fast) than Burmatown. Start with a fermented tea leaf salad (tossed right in front of you) and then get a mix of curries, garlic noodles, stews, and stir fries. Chef Jenny prepares delicious food using fresh local produce, perfectly paired with some of the best California wine. The menu is built for sharing, with standouts like bao, crispy angel wings, and samosas. Service is superb--Pearl took amazing care of me! Sleek, modern interior. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. I will be back soon. read more

This place is excellent. Still haven't eaten at the new location. (bad patron! ) When I eat here I feel like a sister/family to the chef and eating what is Michelin level quality, skill and flavors. I skip the trendy tea salad that everyone seems to get as, you can get that a lot of places including Mollie Stone's) I rather dig into the heart of her food. Read the specials-is there a fish? Get it! Get some baos to try, special baos on the board? Get those too! the plain garlic noodles and coconut rice- a curry and- oh whatever else the people you are with want- I think also the wings? Okay this is making me so hungry. Long overdue! Must take family tonight! The waitstaff is super efficient, thorough and friendly. The vibe is chillaxin' like you are at a friends house for some authentic grub. The vibe is welcoming and friendly-there is like a mutual buzz of excitement for all the regulars to know to be patient if you gotta wait a little- as this meal will be more than worth it! It's a Burmese love letter to your belly mind and heart. oh and I recommend a white Einstock beer with the food Plus -just get a desert- if you are 4 or more- get all the desserts. We are so lucky to have this place, don't forget- like me- to put this into your family's regular rotation! Edit: I went the evening of when I wrote this. So Amazing the NEW spot!! So huge - spacious inside & outside seating and def get here before 7pm. *Also, if available :must try Jenny's Chow Fun?special. So. so clever and delicious! + Matcha Panna Cotta! read more

I love the food here and the people! Plus, I love supporting a small, family business. There is not a ton of good Asian food in Marin...but Burmatown is delicious! The menu also sometimes has specials that are more Chinese, Japanese, etc. I'd say it's Burmese+! Get there early or you may have to wait an hour for a table. If you come in a smaller group (aka 2), you might get seated more quickly. They don't have a ton of tables, but they do have bar seating and a community table. They also have some outdoor seating, but it's not covered so can get a little chilly if it's windy out. They do have some powerful heat lamps though! Some dishes that are always good and favorites of my family are: tea leaf salad, baos (specifically shrimp is our favorite), any of the garlic noodle dishes but we always love the bbq pork one, and the hoisin glazed ribs. Would definitely recommend! read more

What a great find this place is! I wish I had discovered it sooner, but all good things come to those who wait. The place is off the main street and has open air, indoor - outdoor seating, along with bar seating available. This place is pretty busy and would recommend reservations, but it seems they can get you in if you're willing to wait a bit. The place is originally from a mother and daughter that slings some great tasting Burmese food along with a friendly crowd and service. Both times I came I left with very positive experience. Both times I was able to be seated at the bar and hostess was very positive and responsive. There are a lot of great choices on the menu and service recommended the Tea Leaf Salad, which looks and is very healthy, but most important it was very tasty. Highly recommend ordering this again. Another dish that was proposed was the Miso Glazed Black Cod. Again another winning dish. I would encourage anyone to try out their Burmatown Bao's, particularly the ribeye beef ones. I look forward to coming back again with so many great options to choose from, how could I go wrong. read more

Okay the wait system. Why have a trackable waitlist that is soooo far off?! 20-38 minutes? In actuality, 1.5 hours. I am very confused as to why they would use such an incredibly broken system. Service was good, food was good, some dishes were better than others. Tea leaf salad was great, bao was quite goof, mushroom garlic noodles were v. good. Chicken curry was okay, green beans were good. After hearing about it for some time, and the Michelin star, it didn't really live up to the hype. But if I was unfamiliar with Burmese food, I would have probably been way more into it as well. read more

Burmatown - Tea Leaf Salad - Burmese Near Me - Corte Madera, California

One of the best places to eat in Marin hands down. We get takeout from here and also visit the restaurant. They are consistently very good and one of the few Asian gems in Marin. We've tried almost everything on the menu, but our go to orders are the garlic noodles, ribs, platha dip, pork curry, cold tofu, green beans, wings, sometimes prawns. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

With how ubiquitous Burmese restaurants are in the bay, I'd argue Bay Areans excel at this cuisine, and Burmatown is no exception. Though unassuming on its face, the Corte Madera Burmatown touts Michelin guide status and long wait times even past peak dinner time. My friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday, and while the food wasn't mind blowing, the service certainly is (and why im adding the fifth star). We ordered the Burmese tea leaf salad to start, a solid and quintessential dish that piqued our appetite. We also had the platha and veggie samosas; both of which were okay and really served as just an entourage for the mains. The garlic noodles and braised pork curry were divine and decadent. The piquant garlic was strong but not overwhelming; I'd refrain from any kisses for at least 3 business days after consumption though. The braised pork in the curry was also very flavorful and fork-tender, really anything you'd want in a braised dish. The coconut rice is also a must order! You'll be remiss if you opt for the jasmine. The food isn't a contender for the best Burmese in the bay. There's just too much competition in the abundance of Bay Area Burmese restaurants. But, the service, again, I could incessantly write home about. The waitstaff took the care to split the check into four, served our cakes with forks and paper plates, and even lit the candles in the back and then proceeded to serenade our birthday girl. Not only did the restaurant erupt into song, but my mind erupted into praise for the kind people at Burmatown. Do stop here! Such friendly staff and good food makes this a no-brainer. read more

Was looking for a lunch spot after a long hike. Found this spot on Yelp and decided to try Burmatown based on its Yelp reviews and to try out something different. Warm greeting as we walked in even though the kitchen was about to close- sorry! Asked for recommendations from our food server and she recommended the traditional tea leaf salad and bbq pork noodles. Everything on the menu looked delicious so we also added the crispy angel wings and the chili garlic wings. The flavors and different textures of ingredients was really good! If there were more of us, we would've ordered more dishes. This was really, really good! Well he back- read more
