“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor”
“Yan gon is a family own Burmese restaurant on broadway Burlingame. The owner and the entire staff were extremely friendly , attentive , courteous . helpful, and welcoming . Their dishes are delicious . I have tried their Burmese Style Curry Lamb , Singapore Street noodles, Deep fried Chicken Wings , and Wor Wonton Soup. All four dishes were delicious, but my favorite is the won ton soup . This soup is perfect , it's so healthy and brothy. The broth is so rich that left a long lasting mouthwatering and coating sensation lingering in my tongue. The wontons are so tasty , juicy , and flavorful with the right amount of , I believe was pork , ginger , garlic ,chopped onions , sugar, salt , pepper , and shrimps . . The shrimps were very tastey and fresh . It didn't have that strange scent of ammonia or fishy smell like spoiled shrimps . The restaurant is simple , bright , clean , casual ambience with ample seatings. I have been here many times and got seated right away. No wait . This restaurant is a must try if you have the craving for Burmese food or just want to try something new.”
“Excente atención Delicioso todo El Sr Adrian y sus 2 compañeros nos atendieron de lujo 100% recomendable”
“Tonight, after a long and tiring day at work, I visited Society Restaurant & Hookah Lounge to relax—and it was the perfect choice. The place is beautiful, calming, and has such a great vibe with relaxing music. The staff were amazing: very kind, welcoming, and truly hospitable. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating; I personally love sitting outside, but since it was raining, I chose to sit inside and still had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend their kanafa and tea—they were incredibly delicious. This is a perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy quality time. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Food was good, but did not particularly stand out compared to other dumpling places. Had great service from one server, but the rest were very stressed and hurried. It was hard to get their attention. Food presentation was great and they surprisingly have a large bar. I would come back again and try different items.”

“This is my "go to" place in Burlingame! Fantastic wine selection , nice cool vibe. Austin, and Drea, as well as Jason (owner ), are extremely knowledgable. If you are looking for interesting wine, and a chill atmosphere, this is it. They have Thursday night wine events that are a great value to taste new wines. They get prominent wine makers, and wineries from major areas to have tastings throughout the year as well. They have small bites to nosh with your wine. :)”

“Went out to celebrate a special day and decided to try ramen for the first time. I absolutely loved the depth of flavor in the broth—it was a great introduction to the dish. The fried chicken we ordered didn’t quite live up to expectations, but the yakitori skewers were outstanding and definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I’m excited to come back and explore more ramen options.”

““Pizza is more than just food; it is a universal language of happiness. From the moment its aroma fills the air, it awakens a deep sense of anticipation and comfort. The golden, crispy crust tells a story of perfect balance, while the rich tomato sauce carries a bold yet familiar warmth. Melted cheese flows like a masterpiece, embracing every topping and uniting them in flawless harmony. Each bite is an unforgettable journey — crunchy, soft, savory, and deeply satisfying. Pizza has the power to bring people together, turn ordinary moments into celebrations, and remind us that true joy can be found in the simplest, most delicious pleasures of life.””

“BG is a gorgeous restaurant, with well prepared food, and live music/jazz, most days of the week. Owners are very personable and hands-on, which is rare, amongst restaurants. Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!”
“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!”
“Maybe it was just because I hadn't eaten all day, but the food here was something else. Transcendental experience. Ate some of the best donburi of my life and I felt full after only finishing half because the portion sizes are huge. Great experience for sure 🙂↕️”
“Huge shout out to Christie’s. This place has that true family owned, tight knit restaurant vibe that’s getting harder and harder to find. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and pride behind everything they do. The freshly squeezed orange juice is unreal bright, fresh, and exactly how it should be.
And the chicken fried steak… wow. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smothered just right it’s straight fire. This is comfort food done right, the kind that hits every note and leaves you already planning your next visit. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the quality is consistent.
They’re also dog friendly, which makes it an even better neighborhood spot for locals. What really sets Christie’s apart though is the people friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to serve their community. It feels like a place where regulars are family and new faces are treated the same way. If you’re looking for great food, honest flavors, and that classic neighborhood restaurant energy, Christie’s is a gem in Burlingame that absolutely deserves the love.”
“Great pub with a beautiful beer garden in the back. It was a perfect spot to hang out with a larger group. They didn't have food in the middle of the day, but the manager was extremely helpful and suggested nearby places we could bring in food from. The beers on tap were great as well. Be warned it is cash only. The whole place had a fun atmosphere and great hospitality. I'd highly recommend it even midday to grab some beers and hang out with friends!”
“This Mom & Pop spot is soooo good!! Absolutely DELICIOUS food and the staff is so nice and hospitable. I always over looked this place, but so glad I finally went in. Now I’m hooked!”

“We love going here - it's sort of tucked away giving it a hidden gem feeling. The staff is warm, friendly and attentive. Sashimi is delicious and wonderfully presented. It was pricier than we expected but one wonderful thing they did for us was deep fry some of the decorations on the premium sashimi plate (the shrimp heads and the mackerel bones) - it was delicious and a nice, fun finish to the meal.”
“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!”
“Twelvemonth was a wonderful surprise just before a long flight. It felt like an embarrassment of riches to have to choose just a few things on the menu. We wanted to try it all! And everything we did try was a delight. Can't wait to return. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-15”
“Had a lovely meal here for our first, but not last, visit. Started with a caesar salad, then shared the salmon dish and a gamberi pasta dish. All so good. Service was spectacular. If Emma was an example of the quality of servers at Stella, we will be happy to return. Thank you.”
“Food and service was incredible. The sushi and ramen was delicious. We went for a birthday party and brought a cake. Without us asking, the waitress offered to store the cake in their own fridge and even gave us new clean plates to eat the cake with after we ate our food. Now I have 2 reasons to go back. The food and the service.”
“Family operated business establishments are always the best!! Food is superb!! Price is competitive!”
“Toma is a happy place. Their caterpillar rolls are amazing, best I've ever had, and we've always had a good time visiting this neighborhood gem. It is a local favorite, and very affordable!”

“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.”
“The moment you bite into any dish here, you KNOW it's fresh. What I loved the most was that each dumpling had sooo much meat in it and lots of flavor! They even have an open kitchen layout so you can watch them make the dumplings! If dumplings aren't your thing, definitely try their House Special Beef Noodle Soup and be sure to get the Marinated Beef appetizer. The garlic sauce it comes with is so good.
If you're looking for authentic, handmade dumplings, this is your place!
What we ordered:
* Beef, Lamb & Fish Dumpling
* Marinated Beef
* Cucumber Salad
* House Special Beef Noodle Soup
* Beef XLB
* Crab Roe XLB
* Iced Lychee Black Tea”
“I would like to share my disappointing experience at this restaurant last night regarding the reservation process and customer service.
Before arriving, we called the restaurant to make a reservation. The staff member who answered told us to make a reservation through Yelp. I explained that Yelp was not allowing us to book, which was the reason we called directly. She then told us that she would put us in the system and that our table would be ready in about 20 minutes, which worked perfectly for our drive to the restaurant.
However, when we arrived and informed the hostess that we had a reservation, she immediately told us that the restaurant does not take reservations and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. I even showed her the sms confirmation from my phone.This was very confusing and frustrating because we had just spoken with someone who confirmed our reservation over the phone.
As a result, we arrived expecting a table to be ready, only to find out that no reservation existed. We were dining with a child, so the unexpected wait made the situation even more difficult.
I understand that restaurants can be busy, but clear and consistent communication is very important. If reservations are not accepted, this should have been communicated honestly during the phone call. The conflicting information made us feel misled and disappointed with the service experience.
I hope management can review this situation with the staff to prevent similar misunderstandings for future guests.”
“This bubble tea spot was such a vibe. I got the brown sugar boba and it was honestly perfection. The drink was creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet. The boba pearls were soft and chewy just the way I like them. The tea and milk ratio was spot on, and every sip tasted super fresh and balanced.
It is a cute little spot, perfect for quick pickups. There is not much space to sit, but it totally works if you just want to grab your drink and go. Everything felt freshly made and not overly sugary like some other places. You can tell they put effort into getting the flavor right.
I finished my drink way too fast because it was that good. Definitely one of the best brown sugar bobas I have had in a while. I am for sure coming back again.”
“I tried Turkish cuisine and was very satisfied. The dishes were rich, juicy and well balanced in taste. You can feel the traditional approach to cooking and high-quality ingredients.waiters were so nice and there was one young lady her name was Fynda omg she is so sweet and kind. JUST VISIT THIS PLACE”
“I travel to the Burlingame/Redwood City area about once a month so I like to try different places to eat. This was one of my favorites. Service was great and very knowledgeable. My server answered all my questions and made great recommendations based on my feedback. (I like spicy 🔥). I ordered the Vegetarian Samusas, Curry Chicken with coconut rice, and Pork Basil stir fry. It was all awesome & I have plenty for my lunch tomorrow. The parking is a bit tough, but it is on downtown Burlingame. But there are parking lots around with signs directing you.”
“I ordered a heart-shaped pepperoni and sausage pizza online for Valentine’s Day, and it was coming out of the oven and getting boxed right on time when I went to pick it up. The staff was very friendly, and the inside of the restaurant was clean and spacious. The pizza tasted delicious, as usual, and was prepared perfectly. I drove all the way from San Francisco to treat ourselves to Pizza My Heart, and it was worth the hour round trip to enjoy one of our favorite spots.”
“Amazing poke’ ! Incredible service! Awesome owners! Cool Asian sparkling water flavors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great food!
Took away a star for a somewhat odd service. We were repeatedly asked to clarify our order -we had ordered samosa and chai (snack) but strangely were served samosa chaat. Tasted great though.
The Idlies were also great . Would have loved a bit more of the chutneys and the sambar.
Also would be good to have drinks in non-disposable cups for sit-down orders.Would suggest considering non-plastic stirrers.
Would highly recommend the restaurant overall.”
“Hannah is so amazing! She’s so attentive and checked in on us even before our drinks were on L (bottomless who?!) and on a Wednesday! She has amazing recommendations! But if you’re a beer bottler like me, make sure to have a cocktail list on the roster because they only have 3 beers on rotation 🫠 we also need to help the owner fill up the rest of the liquor shelf!
Suggestions: Sailor Jerry’s: who doesn’t love a good spiced rum?
Buzz ball bash?! Fall is near us and ya need to do some BOO-zie drinks to entice the crowd 👻
NINERS FANS WHO?! The DEEBO Daiquiri will have you bleeding red and gold at the end of the day 🏈 🍹”
“Absolutely fantastic!
Their coffee, food and ambience - it’s on another level altogether and when you talk about a place in Burlingame ave, this place is better than the best places here. Food is delicious, freshly made, impeccably served and portioned perfectly. Must come, try one of their coffees, breakfast options, brunch, lunch - you will walk away happy!”
“It was fun going during the soft opening of Palmetto Superfoods in Burlingame (there are other locations in the Metreon, on Union Street, and on Clement Street in San Francisco, with another planned for Santana Row). I learned a lot by speaking with the super friendly and deservedly-proud owner. This location in Burlingame is a really cool little spot diagonally across from Safeway and has a sweet public rooftop sitting area. And I love that everything is plant-based except the honey and bee pollen, but they have a vegan apple honey — which is absolutely delicious — as a superior substitute. Anyway, with a choice of bowls (and smoothies), one could choose a set one on the menu or customize everything with unlimited bases and toppings — as long as it fits in whatever size bowl you choose (yup, I totally went large). I opted for the Bay Blend, but swapped out the strawberries (not really my thing) for toasted coconut flakes (most definitely my thing). The bowl was quickly layered by the friendly employee, who looked like she was excited for her next opportunity to surf, at least in my imagination. From the açaí, pitaya/dragonfruit, and chia pudding on the bottom to the banana and almond butter in the middle to the granola, blueberries, and toasted coconut, etc. on top, it was scrumptious and satisfying. Wanting to try a little more deliciousness, I decided to take a Midnight Beach smoothie to go. Now that I’m gone, I know I’ll be back!”
“Now not so new but still fairly new to Broadway. The food quality is good and the atmosphere is uniquely refreshing. Good air circulation as the ceiling is very tall. It’s perfect for large groups and gathering”

“I had to stop by Royal Donut Cafe because of all of the great reviews I saw on Yelp! And I must say that I wasn't disappointed at all! The staff was awesome! From the cashier, to the cooks, and the server. And I even got a chance to meet the owner, Terri, who has taken over the business for the past 15 years! Definitely going to be a regular here! I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋”
“Delicious sandwiches! And large! You could definitely split a sandwich between two and be full. But i like to just save it for later and eat the deliciousness again. Pretty good value too. Only reason I gave a 4 is sometimes the staff is a little cold/mean. I know they're always busy but I can't help but feel like I am bothering them when I order lol. Regardless--v recommended!”
“If you’re looking for the best smash burger in Burlingame, look no further than Lilikoi. The food is consistently great, and the service is some of the friendliest I’ve experienced. A huge bonus is their delivery service to nearby bars—it’s the perfect setup for a night out. Highly recommend!”
“Tpumps is a great place to get boba at a decent price. Not too long ago, they raised their prices by 50 cents, which is disappointing but understandable. My go-to at Tpumps is the blackberry peach black tea with boba, and it always hits the spot. The pearl-tea ratio isn't the best, but the drink is still very worth it. I can appreciate the amount of customization this boba place offers, from the long list of flavors, to the many topping choices, to the amounts of sweetness and ice you can request, to the option to add milk. That's what makes it different from the rest. The staff at Burlingame are particularly excellent. A customer once mistook my order for their own and left, and the employees quickly noticed and remade my drink. Overall, a fine boba place, 4/5.”
“Simply love this place! The food is incredibly delicious, the staff is patient and very friendly ( and they ARE bilingual so you don't have to speak English to enjoy their marvelous dishes ), the portions are big enough for 2 or to take what's left home for dinner. Cannot recommend this wonderful restaurant highly enough.”
“We walked here from our hotel and we’re so glad we did! The coffee is amazing - high quality, made with care, unique - and the food is phenomenal. We ordered the frittata breakfast sandwich and added prosciutto. You HAVE to try it - adding the prosciutto is worth it I’m telling you!! It’s even better than it looks in the picture. We wish we had Equator Coffee back home!”
“The photos look legit. Rating was high and I'm in the mood for some ABC style chow mein (the thick round noodle).
The chicken chow mein was not bad. Tons of wok air. I liked the fact that it has lots of vegetables. Decent size noodle. Only thing is, it's a bit too salty and has a little bit of bitter after taste. 澀味. I suspect it's the soy sauce? Could be the salt. Or overcooked soy sauce. Otherwise, it's pretty good.”

“We arrived before our reservation time and they were able to accommodate. Our waiter was great with detailing the dishes and answering my culinary questions. Service was slow. It took nearly 25 minutes to receive cocktails. I had to inquire about appetizers which were ordered with cocktails. The GM was very present and walking the dining area but not speaking to any guests or acknowledging that they are waiting without drinks and food. The food was good. I have a different palate so my good may great for another person. The only negative was how long everything took when it wasn’t a night where there was a full house of guests. If that can improve, we may return. For context we ordered Smoked Bourbon Prickly Pear Margarita Calamari Crab & Artichoke Dip Crab Stuffed Sole topped with roasted garlic and shallot shrimp and a side of mashed potatoes Ribeye with compound butter and Cold Water Lobster Tail We switched from cocktails to wine with the main dish.”

“A good meal with excellent service, however unlike other tasting menus there wasn't too much explanation of the dishes when they were presented. Also the space was cavernous which is fine, and we were at a booth, but since it wasn't crowded it seems to lack the intimacy I was looking for. More of a place to be seen vibe.”
“Had a lovely meal here for our first, but not last, visit. Started with a caesar salad, then shared the salmon dish and a gamberi pasta dish. All so good. Service was spectacular. If Emma was an example of the quality of servers at Stella, we will be happy to return. Thank you.”

“Love this place. I 1st discovered this place when my kid was at UC Davis. Great boba drinks and love their popcorn chicken. Today I got their special the fried octopus and jasmine tea. Super delicious. Will definitely come back. And so glad that they are all over the Bay Area.”
“Found this gem while strolling through the neighborhood. The staff here are incredibly welcoming, they even surprised me with a complimentary Canelé, which honestly stole the show! It had that signature hard, crackly shell and an airy, tender interior that was perfectly balanced in sweetness. Pair it with a latte, and you’re set. I also gave their Hojicha Latte a go; while the milk was steamed beautifully, the tea flavor felt a little light. A bit more punch from the Hojicha would make it a 10/10. Still, a wonderful spot with great energy and top-tier pastries.”
“This is my "go to" place in Burlingame! Fantastic wine selection , nice cool vibe. Austin, and Drea, as well as Jason (owner ), are extremely knowledgable. If you are looking for interesting wine, and a chill atmosphere, this is it. They have Thursday night wine events that are a great value to taste new wines. They get prominent wine makers, and wineries from major areas to have tastings throughout the year as well. They have small bites to nosh with your wine. :)”
