We walked into this old building on the Main Street of Burlingame. It is an old fashioned Main Street with lots of restaurants. We were immediately greeted by our server Eric, who was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on! We loved all three dishes. The most unusual but delicious dish was the Burmese style curry pork, it is the only curry made with pickled mango which added a level of complexity. The meat was so tender and it was excellent. If we fly out of SFO again we hope to return! read more

My mom and I are obsessed with this place. I dream about their tea leaf salad and I've tried a variety of their dishes. The garlic noodles with crispy tofu, Singapore style curry noodles and the chicken lettuce cups are all standouts. I've also had their stuffed chicken wings. Every time I'm back home in Burlingame I make sure to go. The service is efficient and the servers are funny. The ambiance is nice. Feels like a typical Asian restaurant in the Bay Area. If you haven't tried Burmese food, give this place a shot! read more

Friendly service Cute and intimate vibes. Lots of take out orders including my chow mein to go. Really enjoyed the tofu okra and Nan Gyi Toke. The gravy with lemon squeeze was great :) Solid place for vegetarians because you can substitute tofu for any other protein. Thank you :D read more

I spent my Christmas evening here and my server Eric was very welcoming. I ordered the Singapore noodle, crispy wing, and hot tea. The noodles were ready within 5 minutes or so. It was delicious! It has bbq pork, shrimp, eggs. It had a very complex profile with hints of curry. My server offered me hot sauce to go with it which turns out to be their red bean paste. It was delicious and elevated it even more!!! I highly recommend asking for it with any meal you may get here. Then I ended with crispy wings. It has a sweet and tangy glaze over. It was extremely crispy and delicious as well. They are large in size. I had excellent service. The ambiance is also very lovely, they have nice decor and pretty chandeliers. It was a great way to end my Christmas Day. Thank you for having me! read more

Takeout order - mostly was excited for the pumpkin curry which was good. The three star rating is because some dishes were great and others were lacking to all around it was a mid-level experience. Pumpkin Curry: 4 stars - dark meat chicken, good portion of protein, nice al al dente pumpkin/squash and overall good flavor. Eggplant Garlic: 5 stars - we got two...mild and medium spicy. Medium spicy is spicy, and mild was good (little kick). The eggplant was mushy but the sauce was a bit tart and a bit different than what we are accustomed to at other restaurants. This dish was very pleasant. Walnut Shrimp: 4 stars - I appreciate this dish was not overly breaded (possibly not at all) Sesame Orange Chicken: 1 star - mostly breading/flour, lacking flavor, tasted a bit like sweet deep fried funnel cake bites Tea Leaf Salad: 3 stars - we couldn't pin point it but something was different about the tea leaf dressing. Overall, this dish was just ok. Coconut Rice: 4 stars - not too sweet, light coconut flavor We forgot to ask if they use MSG but there's definitely a lot of gluten and afterwards I did have some of the MSG "symptoms" so just be weary and remember to ask. read more

The sesame beef was awful - more breading than meat. Very disappointed. The crab and cheese appetizer is just a rangoon, which tasted good. Inside was okay and clean - a bit dark but felt comfortable otherwise. Service was nice so +1 there. It's an okay spot overall. Maybe I was just unlucky? read more

My business partner and I were in town for just a few hours before catching flight out of SFO. We had so many choices to pick from and badly wanted Chinese, but close to the airport too. So we arrived at 8 and they closed at 9 on a weeknight. It's a quaint little restaurant with about 10-15 tables. There was only one other table occupied when we got there. So it was looking promising. Ehhh that's where I should have left. The one female staff member did not seem to happy that we were there. She was somewhat standoffish and not very friendly. Now I'm a little bit of a Chinese food snob. After a visit to Chinatown I'm very picky. I live in Fort Worth, Texas and there's only two Chinese restaurants in the 8 million population metroplex that I'll eat at. So we both order the sesame orange chicken. My go to is just sesame chicken but they didn't have that. No fried rice option either??!!! So we both chose to split Jasmin rice. The food came out in 15 minutes and looked good. The broccoli had no flavor and was undercooked and warm. Sorry but the sesame chicken was under impressive. I ate it but just wasn't great. It didn't taste bad though. Too much breading and the chicken was very small pieces once you got to it. I gave them 3 instead of 2 because the food wasn't bad. Just very underwhelmed! read more

Hopefully when you come ask for kittiponhg (Toon). We come for Wednesday night classes and stop here every time and every dish we try have been delicious every time. Fresh, and delivious. Some of these dishes were Pad Thai, Eggplant; Prah wram song, Red Curry and it never fails. read more

Had a nice casual dinner here. Tried the Burmese dishes and started with the palatha, which is a fried type of bread with a wonderful sweet sauce. The lamb stew with a side of rice was delicious and tender. Definitely try those two. Also had the garlic noodles with pork. That one was ok I probably wouldn't get it again. Service is great they are nice and attentive. Not too expensive either so u would definitely go back. read more

Solid spot for Chinese/Burmese food! The staff is super friendly. I went on a weekday night and although it was relatively busy, I was seated immediately. The food did take a bit of time to come out though as a heads up for anyone in a rush. The pumpkin pork stew had great flavor, and the combination chow fun noodles were really good too. The combination fried rice was a bit too salty for me, but otherwise everything was tasty! read more

We came here after an airport run. We got here about 8:30 and they close at 9:00, but they welcomed us and assured us there was time to make us anything we would like from the menu. Needless to say, the service and ambiance was warm and welcoming. We chose this place because it was highly rated on Yelp. For a small restaurant, the menu was quite extensive with lots of interesting dishes to choose from. I wish I had been more hungry because everything on the menu seemed so interesting and delicious to order but we only wanted a light meal since we had just come from the airport. We got their signature tea leaf salad which is one of the best ones I have had! The freshly grated cabbages, fermented tea leaves, fried garlic, peanuts, sesame and sunflower seeds and whatever their dressing was, was so refreshing and crunchy. We also had the fried chicken wings which were plump, juicy, and crispy. I also had a mango lassi drink which was delicious and you can taste that the mango was freshly blended . I would love to come here again after the next airport run to try the other things! read more

Great food, lovely service, really enjoyed my meal there. Pricing was reasonable and fair. Definitely recommendable.

I hadn't been here in a while because it is not close to where I live. I was in the mood for Burmese so I went with a friend. As soon as I walked in I was reminded why this restaurant was so memorable. The food is very tasty. The vegetable dish was packed with spices that enhanced the flavor of the veggies. The garlic noodles were perfectly cooked and also tasty. The ingredients were of good quality which really made the dishes pop. The service was excellent! From the greeter to the servers and all other personnel all had smiles and willing to help in whatever way they could. It was bustling with customers which is always a good sign. The floors and restrooms are kept clean. I could not find any garbage on the floors and they were all clean. Overall, you have to come here to know what a great jem this restaurant is. read more

Yangon is so good! I was looking for more restaurants to try out in the Broadway, Burlingame area and I saw all the positive reviews for this family owned restaurant so I had to try it out. I enjoy Burmese/Chinese food a lot so I was excited and I can see why people like this spot. The owners are very friendly and provide great service and the inside is also very comfortable. They have a lunch special menu that they serve from 11:30am - 3pm on weekdays. They consist of a main entreee with a mango salad and rice (if it's not a noodle dish). It costs $15.50 in total for the lunch special which is nice value for the amount of food you get. What my table and I ordered: - Cashew Chicken - Singapore Noodles Starting off with the mango salad, the lunch special variation is smaller than normal, but it was still pretty refreshing and all the ingredients you could tell are fresh. I got myself the Cashew Chicken and it was really good. The cashews add a nice crunch. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and not bitter at all. The chicken was so juicy and moist. It just melted in your mouth. I also opted for the coconut rice for a slight extra charge and it is worth it because that little bit of sweetness of the rice helps balance out the savory flavors. The Singapore Noodles here I also feel they do it better than a lot of places I have been to. It was savory, but some places make them overly salty. I wish there was a little more shrimp although overall was still a tasty dish. I'd come back here again for sure. read more

Yangon is a great Burmese place. The ambience is nice. The eating utensils are good clean not chipped. Service is also good. Parking is a challenge depend depending on the day and time you go! There are a lot of options for vegetarians. The tea leaf salad the okra and egg curry are fantastic. I think they can be a little generous with the side dish of rice serving. It almost felt like a four-year-old could eat that and asked for more.!! The rice serving as a side dishes poor. That is the one place they can improve in. For the meat eaters at our table: one person ordered a beef dish. One person ordered a salt and pepper fish, and one person ordered a chicken curry with eggplant - I believe all of those were good. Again, each of us felt the rice could've been a little more when they serve. Definitely a place to go to! read more

Our family went in to Yangon for lunch today and were blown away by how good the food was. Far and away, we think Yangon has the best value for Burmese food in the Peninsula. We ended up ordering the tea leaf salad (4/5), crispy wings (5/5), crab and cheese puffs (5/5), chicken biryani (5/5), mongolian beef (4.5/5) burmese chow fun (5/5), and desert palatha with ice cream (5/5) which the kind owner gave to us on the house. All of the above dishes were amazing and the bill total was $105.46. We have been here twice and it is a mystery of life why this place isn't packed with a line out the door for lunches and dinners. Other Burmese restaurants charge double what Yangon charges and that their food isn't as good. My advice is to enjoy getting a seat while you can. read more

It's a nice Chinese restaurant. Service is efficient, no-nonsense attitude, which is ok if everything goes well and it did in our case.

Such a quaint place and very friendly owners. It's a hidden gem in Burlingame. The food was delicious. I ordered the combination chow fun which was highlighted as spicy but the kick from the spicy sauce was just right. The kungpao tofu was crispy tofu and snowpeas ordered with rice. I ate till I was stuffed and could eat no more. For some reason the atmosphere felt like home cooked food served like a fancy restaurant. Will go again in heartbeat. read more

Yangon is a gem of a restaurant. We tried several of the Burmese specialties: mohinga (catfish stew), ginger salad, and chicken biryani. The mohinga was warming and flavorful, a hearty broth with rice noodles, fish, egg, fried wonton strips, and other tasty ingredients. The ginger salad was a showstopper: bold flavors and an incredible variety of textures. If you like ginger, it's a must order! The rice with the chicken biryani was wonderful, spiced with cardamon and cinnamon. The concentrated sauce on the chicken was mouthwatering. I can't wait to try more dishes! Friendly service from this family run establishment. The dining room was cool inside, so if you are like me and get cold easily, be sure to bring a sweater. read more

Just alright, nothing special about this place. Nice decor and very clean. The food itself is just ok. We were a party of two and waited 35 minutes for the food with no advance notice that the squash takes about 20 minutes to cook. There were only four tables with diners...go figure. There is alot to chose from out there... read more

Went here last Saturday and the food was delicious. When we arrived, we were the only ones in the restaurant yet it still took a while to get service. We ordered the parata, the potstickers, chicken curry, combination chow fun, and coconut rice. Everything was solid. The parata was something we had never had before and it was very interesting. Tasted almost like a heavier fried croissant. The dipping sauce accompanying it was just as interesting. Very savory. The potstickers were unlike any potstickers I've ever had. It doesn't indicate on the menu what type of potstickers they are, but they are pork, and they are very savory with a lot of umami flavor. The chicken curry was nice. Very simple but satisfying. The chow fun was our favorite dish. Unlike a lot of noodle dishes where it's overloaded with noodles rather than meat and vegetables, It is the opposite at this restaurant. Lots of delicious meats and beautiful vegetables with ribbons of chow fun swirled in the midst. It was perfect and we can't wait to come back for that and to try many other things on the menu as well. Our waitress was nice and the restaurant itself is lovely and very clean. Great experience, can't wait to come back read more

3/6/2021 Quarantine Day 355 My friend convinced me to come to Yangon and I wasn't disappointed. Normally when I go out to eat, I try to avoid Chinese food since that is all I eat at home (ah, the joys of living at home still). We were in a pinch to find something fast so I caved and we went to Yangon. I was able to park about 1 block away along California Drive, so it was a very quick walk to the restaurant. Inside, they only had two tables for dine-in, but the lady lead us to the back where they have patio outdoor seating with heat lamps. They also have something of a tent set-up to keep out the cold, wind and insects. It was super cozy and we pretty much had all that space to ourselves for most of our dinner. After we sat down, she came back with water and menus. Here is what we ordered: 1. Singapore noodle (share) 2. Okra chicken (share) 3. Burmese style fried rice (share) All the dishes came out in less than 15 minutes. The chicken and the okra are juicy! The chicken was a tad spicy but tolerable. The noodles were moist and not dry. The rice was fragrant and it was a different texture with the garbonzo beans in it. The onions and the beans added something of a light crunchy texture which tasted great. Overall, no complaints about any of the food or the service. Might come back to try more of their noodle dishes! read more

We really liked the food here and it's much more moderately priced than some of the other Burmese in the area. Of course the tea leaf salad was really tasty, although if you take out, ask them to mix it all for you first. The vegetable Burmese curry was super flavorful and good portion size. I liked the Cantonese options on the menu as well. The orange tofu Was yum! Would definitely recommend. read more

Great food and amazing home away from home feel. I really love the tea leaf salad and hot and sour soup!

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

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

My sister asked me to look for a restaurant in Burlingame for us to take our father out to lunch at. I found Yangon which serves Burmese and Mandarin Cuisine. A few factors that helped me choose it were: staff wears masks, recent reviews were high, and reviewers said that service was friendly. As luck would have it, there was a parking space right in front of the restaurant. This was very helpful as my father's mobility is limited and walking for him is difficult even with a walker. I went ahead and secured a table in the front by the window facing the street. I had also already looked at the menu. I had intended to get the Pumpkin Chicken Curry, but had to switch to Pumpkin Pork Stew because coconut milk was used in the curry. My sister ordered the curry instead. You can ask your server to adjust the spiciness of the dish. My sister went with not spicy, while I went with mildly spicy. My father wanted the Combination Chow Fun which had a mixture of vegetables and chicken, beef, and shrimp. The server's helper was very good about refilling the glass of water for my sister. We had a good laugh when my sister misheard the additional time needed for the curry and stew which was 15 minutes. She thought she had heard 50 minutes and she had a meeting to get to. The rice seemed like it had been spooned from the bottom of the rice cooker. Our dishes were excellent, however. Poor Dad! His dish came out after ours. My pork stew was very tasty and the meat tender. The kabocha squash were good sized chunks. My sister also enjoyed the kabocha squash in her curry. Her curry was not spicy just as she ordered. We all had leftovers for another meal. Dad said that he was going to have his leftovers for dinner. 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
