Amazing service, great energy, educational, and of course the food was delicious. Please do yourself a favor and try the Nan Gyi Toke. Our waiter Eric was kind, attentive, and a great representation of Burmese culture and food. Will be back.

A small and tidy eatery at the heart of Broadway. Parking can be a bit of a chore therefore.The decor is on the more minimal side but does not detract from the mood.The staff is friendly and took our orders timely. Lunch came out at a steady pace.The food is good but could be better. The tea leaf salad was light on the greens, the flavor dominated by the fermented tea leaf and the fried garlic. More crunchy than crispy. Also had the curry with chicken, the meat was quite tender, the flavor good if not exceptional.All in all a good place for a quick lunch.

Service here was excellent. Very little wait time on a Saturday night for dinner. We enjoyed everything we ordered except the garlic noodles which were too salty

I cannot say enough good things about Yangon. The food is phenomenal, the service is great, the tea leaf salad to die for. The pumpkin pork stew is made to order, takes about 20 minutes, and is worth the wait. I’m drooling just writing this review.Just check it out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

A family run restaurant, delicious food and the menu has a lot of variety and is almost underpriced. Things can go a little slow, so probably come by when you have more time. The people here are delightful. Everything we ordered was good, but the highlight was the Mohinga. Everyone absolutely loved the Mohinga and we finished it in seconds.

Good food, great service for takeout. I said I came from a hotel and they immediately supplied extra utensils and bowls. The boat is a Burmese harp.

Went after back to school night with 3 families with toddlers. The owners were incredibly gracious and kind and sweet to our girls giving them little bonus treats (and disregarding our noises). The food was amazing!!!! And the owners were kind enough to make the dishes (ordered tapas style) without the spice so our girls could enjoy them with us. Definitely will be returning. Wonderful family restaurant run by a wonderful family. 🙏🏾😊❤️

Theyre open on Christmas day if youre interested in that movie and Chinese dinner American tradition.FYI: this restaurant serves both classic Chinese and Burmese dishes. We ordered the Mongolian Beef and Chicken Biryani, respectively. Both a delight! Service was prompt and attentive and courteous.Will dine here again!

2023-05-02 01:52:09

Incredible food. Service always has smiling faces. Try the Kung Pao chicken or the sweet and sour chicken. Outstanding. A bonus.. you always get a fresh salad and wonton soup to go with your meal.

Yangon is one of my/our favorite restaurants. Ive taken my family members who visit from all over the world as well as locally here and they all love it. My best friend and I stumbled on to this place a few years ago when I was searching for a newer place to try but with high reviews. It was love at first taste... Lol. Since then, weve had parties in their backroom and patio, ordered to go or deliveries, or eat here at least once a month.The owners and staff are very humble, friendly, hardworking, and gracious. Im proud to bring my visiting friends and relatives here for so many reasons.Our constant staples/faves: Orange sesame chicken; salt and pepper fish; sauteed string beans; garlic eggplant; tea salad, samosas, honey walnut shrimp; and Burmese chow fun.Thanks Henry and Yangon crew!

The server was very friendly and made a great recommendation.The place is clean and there is a patio in the back for semi outdoor dining.Its a casual, but clean restaurant.I had Burmese pork curry which does not taste anything like Indian, Thai, or Japanese curry. Its savory, flavourful and not spicy. I dont know if its authentic, but sure taste good.The only complant i have is that I was the first customer for lunch and was served a bowl of rice with dry and crusty top layer.

Yangon is a great meal every time. Staff is very friendly. It’s got a family-run vibe. The restaurant is never too busy, which I find odd because the food is so good. I love the tea leaf salad and Burmese style falafel

Amazing food (pot stickers are home made and epic)! It’s also family run and they are the sweetest. They treat our kids like family. There’s an outdoor patio which is perfect for young kids.

Very tasty, I was very happpy with the food and service. I ordered Okra Chicken and Palatha appetizer. They were both excellent. The Okra Chicken was perfectly spiced (but not spicy) and the vegetables were fresh and tasty. The Palatha pastry was soft to chew while crispy on the outside and the curry it came with had chicken pieces that were so soft to cut with a spoon. The people working here are very nice. I was visiting from LA, glad I walked by this place.

Delicious food! Infused with a lot of spices and very flavorful. They adjust the hotness to your level which is great. We ordered lamb and shrimp dishes. Both were yummy and juicy! The servers were attentive and the food arrived quickly. I highly recommend!

Review №28

2019-05-06 16:16:23

Excellent service. Highly recommend the Spicy Basil Beef. Good portion sizes, reasonable prices and everything was made fresh. Only thing that kept it from a full five stars was the sweet and sour pork. There was way too much batter for the small pieces of meat. Other than that, a great dinner!

The BEST Burmese restaurant on the Peninsula! Hands down!Yangon is always quick to answer the phone for a to-go order. They are polite and always welcoming when you step in the door. Above all, their service knocks it out of the park. Thank you, all Yangon employees!!!Their food is fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious.I always order the palatha, which takes a little bit longer for them to prepare. I have no problem with that because I know it is being made fresh. It is so good and worth the wait!!!!The tea leaf salad is normally my go-to. I’ve never had a better tea leaf salad.I tried their Burmese Chow Fun tonight and was not disappointed.

Delicious, authentic Burmese and Chinese food. Some of the best noodles and crab I have ever had. I will be stopping here anytime I am in Burlingame.

Review №31

2019-08-20 05:40:09

I have eaten here twice so far. Both times, I have really enjoyed my experience! The food is a fair price, good portions, but most of all, it is extremely tasty and delicious. Both times, the service was extremely attentive and very fast (about 5-7 minute wait for food). I have absolutely no complaints and will surely come back! If you have about 30 minutes to grab a bite to eat, I would recommend coming here!

Review №32

2022-01-15 04:15:40

If you like Indian food, this place has a good selection of dishes that I assume originated from the groups of Indian migrant workers who have populated Burma throughout the ages, including a very tasty Biriyani! Well done, chef!

Review №33

2021-01-29 06:38:05

Absolutely delicious! I introduced my family to Burmese food through this restaurant and now they can’t get enough. We are regular customers. The basil shrimp, Burmese pad Thai and tea leaf salad are our favorites!

Review №34

2020-02-01 03:19:47

This place is amazing!My fiance frequents this place and took me there for a dinner date.The food was good quality and delicious while also somehow being a fair price! You have to try the Tea Leaf Salad.They have an attentive staff and a clean restaurant. Learn a little about Burma and have some of their amazing cuisine.Downtown Burlingame was busy, but luckily there is a public parking lot right across the street that even has EV charging stations.5/5 would recommend this place.

2019-05-26 01:42:29

Fantastic service is one of the highlights of this restaurant. The family style tofu is another! Plenty of options on the menu to suit the fussiest of eaters. Lots of vegetarian options. Decent size portions. Good prices. All in all it adds up to a great place to eat. The service is what gets it 5 stars though.

Review №36

This place was good. I ordered Chicken chow mein and hot and sour soup. Chow Mein was excellent - flavorful,good portion. Service was very attentive and there wereultiple people coming by to make sure we were happy and didnt need anything. Knocked one star off for the hot and sour soup - had a very odd bitter flavor,was hot but not really sour and almost seemed like it was way too over peppered. Wont be ordering that again.

Yangon has become one of my favorite take out restaurants. Its always consistent and delicious.The tea leaf salad is good and generous, lots of nuts and and big size overall. The mango beef is my personal favorite. Its tangy, sweet and the beef is very juicy... Yum. The Burmese curry beef is also very good.GOT & Yangon every Sunday...

A legend for a reason, this Burmese spot was a lucky find after stopping in Burlingame to get a Christmas tree at the Balsam Hill outlet. Very fast and friendly service and the food was phenomenal. Believe the hype- this place is great!

Review №41

2019-01-18 03:25:57

Meat was an odd texture...kind of like scraps.This was true for both pork and chicken.I ordered pork fried rice and king Paolo chicken.Rice texture was like boiled rice and over cooked.Every item had an odd taste. ..these 2 entrees and a drink were $40. By the time delivery and to were included.

Review №42

2019-01-01 04:20:58

Excellent food! Keep in mind that rice doesnt come with the entrees, you have to order it separately. We had a little mix up about this, but they handled it very cordially.

So we are placing an order which came out to 32 dollars so we added 2 other items which added to 66.56 we thought wow okay very good price for what we had ordered.When we finally get our order we saw that 2 of the first items we placed were missing ( mind you shrimp chowmein and crab Rangoon’s were the first items we said and he repeated) when we call to let them know the waiter said oh you did not order that !!!! 😳😳 wow are you kidding me. Some of the items we received were good but way overpriced. Really disappointed I pretty much ate a vegetarian meal haha .... sorry but not ordering from here again.Cafeteria at best.!

We ordered Tea Leaf Salad, Mongolian Beef, Chicken Biryani, and Tea. Everything was fantastic including the service. We especially enjoyed that major chicken ratio to the rice in the chicken biryani. Nice, clean, well-lit, quiet restaurant and bathroom.

Review №46

2021-02-27 04:27:21

Edit: They deliver locally direct. Call them direct instead of grubhub. Restaurants deserve to keep their money instead of giving 15% to GrubHub. Good food. Delivery driver is nice and prompt. Look on Yelp for more reviews

Review №47

2017-05-14 12:44:22

Attentive, polite service, but quick to upsell. Food came pretty quickly after ordering. Server refilled water repeatedly without hassle. Pumpkin pork stew was a hit with wife & myself. Burmese red curry chicken was just okay. Skip the coconut rice, steamed white rice with flecks of toasted coconut for twice the price of plain white rice. This was one of the upsells.Clean, not overly crowded restaurant with mostly tables for two. There were mostly couples whispering quietly during dinner. My 15 year old son thought it was too stuffy; not sure small kids will enjoy or be tolerated by other guests. A bit pricey for dinner, so recommended for occasional, special dates only.

Ordered traditional Chinese (chow mein, fried rice, pot stickers, sweet and sour chicken, etc) for pick-up and it was awesome. Very friendly staff too. Family visiting from out of town wants to go back before they leave. I have a new favorite place!

Review №50

2020-03-03 06:03:29

Way overpriced and Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. 27 dollars for chicken and rice with no plates or utensils. Ive had better food at Panda Express. Spend your money elsewhere I damn sure wish I did.

Review №51

2019-08-12 18:21:27

Topnotch food. We always get the crispy orange chicken, pumpkin beef stew and tea leaf salad. They have a private room at the back for larger parties. Friendly staff and owners. For me, this sets them apart from their more known competitor on Burlingame Ave.

Review №54

2016-09-16 12:23:01

Great food, service, atmosphere and prices. Recommend sticking to this end of town instead of the main touristy part. One warning though - the tea leaf salad, while delicious, may very well keep you up all night like it did for me if you have a caffeine sensitivity.

2018-03-20 00:07:00

A good Chinese restaurant, I ate here for two consecutive dinners. There are also Burmese dishes and a beautiful proprietress.
