“Everything from the greeting to the goodbye was excellent. We ordered the Chutney Prawns, the Cauliflower, the Genovese Basil Dosa & the Halibut (all very flavorful, succulent, delicious.) Generous portions & very good service as well. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“First time eating here and we were delighted to find this ramen shop to add to our rotation. They offer unique fusions, like the ramen with kimchi and galbi. The portions are generous and with a lot more toppings than your classic ramen (where you have to pay extra for this or that). I could only eat half and had to bring the rest to-go!”

“I’ve only been here twice but I Love it here! Kind staff with quality service. They even pulled out my chair for me. A good atmosphere with house music playing on a projector outside. Great place to go with my girlfriends to catch up after a long day of work. I love that it has music but it’s not overly loud.”
“Quality and ingredients are excellent. Portion sizes are large compared to most Japanese restaurants. There is no kids menu, so keep the portion sizes in mind when ordering for munchkins.”

“Delicious meals, warm atmosphere, and kind staff—every time. Great for families and special occasions. The plating on all the grilled kebabs and gyro is just right. Fresh salad, house-made hummus, and fluffy rice that complement the grilled dishes perfectly.”

“Good food it was a plate half chicken and half lamb with rice and salad also hummus. And dessert was kunafah , it was my first time tasting it and it was good much better than baqlava. Good hospitality and very clean environment. Definitely recommend. Thanks”
“Delicious vegan options include the Scallion Oil Noodles, and the Chongqing Noodles (super spicy, but you can dilute the broth with water and it will stil be the most delicious soup you'll ever have, though it could use extra veggies), the Mapo Tofu Steamed Dumplings are divine, rhe scallion pancakes are flakey and yummy (though a bit oily), and the cucumber salad is refreshing.”
“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!”

Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!”
“Great food and super friendly staff. We tried avocado toast and mocha. Turned out that they messed up our mocha and gave us a latte. They were extremely busy on a long weekend so I didn’t bother to ask them to fix it. They would have definitely fixed my order but I was okay with a latte too!”
“Family operated business establishments are always the best!! Food is superb!! Price is competitive!”

“I absolutely love this Stacks! I live in the city, but whenever I have the opportunity to eat here, I take advantage of it. That happened today, and I had the pleasure of excellent service from Miguel, and a delicious Montecristo sandwich. Miguel was very accommodating of my different allergies and was so kind In maintaining my dignity while I made special requests. My friend and I love eating here because the food is consistently good, it is a good value, but most of all, the service is always on point. Everybody is always kind and helpful!”
“What made this place great besides the food was the service. We enjoyed salmon nigiri, California bomb, and the Alaska roll. Also had the plum sparking wine, which I’d absolutely recommend. I think what was notable was being cared about as if we were family. I’d 100% recommend and return to if ever back in the area.”
“Amazing restaurant. The food was SO flavourful and perfect portions. The attention to detail with the design and soft paper towels etc. made for a wonderful experience. The staff and owner were so friendly and the service was impeccable. We will be back! Great cocktails too.”
“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!”

“Been coming here since I started working in the area. They always deliver the goods. Operated by a husband and wife team. Food and quality are always on point 🙏🙏🙏”

“Ordered a mocha to go and it was well made. There was plenty of street parking out front and seating inside and outside. Staff were friendly and not was clean inside. Everything looks so delicious and well made. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Perfect place to start your morning at.”
“Staying loyal to a restaurant for 15 years speaks volumes about both the incredible quality of the food and the exceptional hospitality.It is rare to find a place where the owner, Ismaiel, makes you feel genuinely welcomed every single time you walk through the door. Warm hospitality like that turns a great meal into an unforgettable dining tradition.”
“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.”
“This place has the best lasagna on the peninsula, hands down. The bolognese is by far the best lasagna I have ever eaten. It is layers and layers and layers of light, fresh pasta with the most flavorful sauce ever. And if you're in the mood for something with just the right kick, the italian sausage lasagna is fantastic! My daughter is a fan of the make your own pasta, where your choice of noodles, sause and protein gives you just what you want. They have a fabulous lobster ravioli and a fantastic porcini mushroom ravioli special that are favorites.
Meals start with some of the lightest bread ever made, and you cannot go wrong ending your meal with tiramisu. We will continue to go here often!”
“Looking for something different after our cruise. Centro definitely hit the spot!! Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and awesome playlist!”
“Love love love Christie’s! Have visited a half dozen times and the staff and service are amazing! The portions are… sufficient to say the least. Mushroom/swiss/chicken sausage omelette is THE BOMB.”

“Been to this place twice. Dropped in on a Friday and it was kinda slow The gentlemen working the bar didn't seem like he wanted to be there. But he still put on a smile when serving the drinks. Went back a there was a woman bartending. She was extremely sweet and very welcoming. There was also a back patio that also has a tv and you could smoke back there.”
“Found this when I look for Korean restaurant that serve noodle soup. This restaurant is next to hospital which I think in a good location. Next to it is boba shop which I saw some customer went to the the boba shop after their meals.
The interior is very simple, with couple tables and the dishes photo all over the wall which looks inviting.
The menu is pretty complete with many varieties of Korean dishes. We order Spicy Seafood noodle soup and Stir fried noodles with black bean sauce.
They give 3 type of banchan, daikon, beansprout and kimchi. The kimchi is sweet and later I saw it is from a big jar that you can get from grocery store. I wish they make it fresh in the restaurant. At least if have it from jar, don't show the jar.
The noddle soup is yummy but not spicy. the Stir fried noodle is served with hot iron plate. the presentation is good but I just feel it is too sweet.
The server is very nice and very energetic. Only one server serves all the tables.
Overall it was ok meals. May be next time we will try other dishes and wish they make the kimchi in house.”
“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!”
“Fresh sushi with an impressive variety to choose from, and the owner is so kind and welcoming. You can taste the quality in every piece. Definitely a restaurant I'd recommend to any sushi lover!”
“Best Northern Italian cuisine in Burlingame! Ian is an outstanding bartender who made our whole experience. The manager JT is very accommodating with our seating request. Would highly recommend this establishment.”

“This is our family’s favorite destination for pizza. They have one of the best gluten free crusts for me and tasty traditional crusts for the rest of the family. It’s great because they have awesome seasonal specialties and designer pies, but you can also customize with your own toppings and it’s super easy to divide one pizza into two custom halves. We almost always order enough for leftovers. The debate in our house is whether leftovers are best reheated in air fryer or cold”
“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! 😋”
“Me and my colleagues were browsing through DoorDash and deciding what to get to drink since it was a warm day and it is best to stay hydrated with something refreshing. We came upon this spot, I had it before at a different location and my fellow colleagues said they ordered from here before where they enjoyed it and that is when we all agreed this is the place we will order from. They have many many things to choose from, such as their top sellers, milk teas, fruit teas, matcha drinks, brown sugar drinks, cheese foam drinks, frosties, original tea, coffee, a kid’s menu, yakult series and much more to choose from. After browsing through their menu we knew what we exactly wanted and the order was placed which got me excited because I was in need of something good to drink. Everything here is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. This place is a great option in the area since they stand out compared to other drink shops nearby. You can order in person, place an order online for pickup of have it delivered to you through a food delivery app. Finally when the drinks arrived, we all popped the straw through the cup and the moment from that first sip was satisfying and a thirst quencher. I highly recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, to anyone willing to try something new, if you are in need of a refreshing drink like us or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will order from here again and make a visit one day.”
“Wasn’t planning on writing a review but the bubble waffle was the best and most perfect one ever had (before I tore into it). Even the edges were shaped well. The Okinawan with free crystal bonds substitution was spot on. Thank you kind lady for being so friendly and accomplishing to my family. We will be back!”
“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.”
“I thought the food was great! The ingredients were high quality and I was licking the plate at the end. There may be some struggles with the service due to them primarily speaking Spanish. The server is also a quiet speaker. The atmosphere didn't really stand out to me, as the restaurant was mostly empty. Overall, it was a good experience that I would recommend for those in the area who want good Mexican food.”

Warm hospitality like that turns a great meal into an unforgettable dining tradition.”
“We ordered Lamb biryani. It was very good, but the mild option was still pretty spicy. Mango lassie really helped temper the heat. Wait staff was very friendly. We sat at the table on the sidewalk during the street festival and enjoyed the atmosphere.”

“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.”
“Ordered a mocha to go and it was well made. There was plenty of street parking out front and seating inside and outside. Staff were friendly and not was clean inside. Everything looks so delicious and well made. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Perfect place to start your morning at.”
“I have stayed at this hotel for the past month. On nights that I'm too tired to go out of the hotel for dinner. I have dined in.
The pear salad is my favorite. The combination of pecans,goat cheese & pomegranate is excellent. I love the honey mustard dressing. I Added some grilled chicken on top and it's even more perfect. I also love their steak wedge salad!
More recently I have stopped in for breakfast as well. Today I had the Challa French toast with pork sausages. Oh my God that is delicious! The pork sausages were huge, flavorful and still moist. The French toast was amazing. I could not finish it all.
The other morning, I had the Create your own omelette with potatoes, that was also made to perfection as well. Not overcooked and dry but moist and even the cheese was melted perfectly. The portion size was huge big plus
The service is excellent. This morning at breakfast Drew treated me with professionalism, respect, timeliness and Care. We even got to talk and share a few good moments. The Hostess has always been super nice to me. The staff always recommending me great dishes and pointing me in the right direction. The staff is Top notch and deserve a raise.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. Corporate- If you are reading this, please make the Hostess and Market dedicated positions. During the one month that I have been here, I have observed and experienced long wait times to be seated or ordering to go at the Market.
Peet's coffee grab and go this morning was especially challenging for the Wait staff. The line for to be seated for breakfast was humongous and people were visibly upset. I could feel their pain as in the morning we are trying to get in and get out because people have flights to catch. The Wait time is excessive because there is only one person seating people and also performing market cash register duties. The market person also has to warm up the food for the Pete's grab-and-go's which also increases the wait time for her hosting duties.
So Corporate if you are reading this, I implore you to make a change. Please hire dedicated market and hostess positions. Do not combine their Duties.
If you can eliminate the excessive wait times to be seated I think peoples experiences will be greatly enhanced. Instead people are having a bad experience right out the gate. It is very hard to overwrite a bad first impression.”

“Food is phenomenal. Had a loaded breakfast croissant and oh my goodness, it was huge!! Got halfway through it before we remembered to take a photo. The iced tree leches coffee is packed with flavor and a beautiful way to start the morning. The business is kind of tucked a way off the road a bit but easy to find. The lady that owns it is incredible.”
“The cutest place I have ever been to, both Julia and giovanni. were excellent. My favorite cocktail was the Christmas drop, it was so good, i had like 5 of them🤦♀️, can't wait to come back. This is a small swanky spot, that serves wine and special ingredients cocktails, appetizers. cocktails do change by season.”
“Hands down the best Matcha in the area. Beautiful velvety texture, rich dense taste with perfect balance of sweetness/bitterness. Great steady caffeine high, pretty strong (I only get half a shot here). Their einspanner and sesame syrup are also chef's kiss 😚🤌
Nice clean open air store as well. I like that you can order ahead.
I give 4/5 stars for 2 reasons that keep me from going there more often:
- It doesnt open until 10am. I would love to see them open earlier! 10 is too late to wait for a caffeine fix, it kills me.
- No decaf options. Maybe consider stocking decaf espresso for those who want to enjoy your drinks later in the morning or afternoon.
Thanks for all you do!”
“⭐️Found this gem during a layover in San Francisco literally a 2 minute walk from my hotel, and I’m so glad I stumbled onto it. From the second I walked in, the service was outstanding. The manager was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive, the kind of hospitality that actually makes your day better, not just polite small talk.
⭐️What really stood out was when she noticed I was struggling to figure out how to get to the nearest market. Without hesitation, she offered to drive me there herself so I wouldn’t have to pay for an Uber. That kind of genuine generosity is rare, and it turned a simple coffee stop into one of the highlights of my trip.
⭐️The food was immaculate fresh, well presented, and clearly made with care. I also loved that they have outdoor seating with proper tables, perfect for enjoying your coffee in the sun or people-watching for a bit. The whole space was spotless, clean and tidy from the counters to the restrooms, which says a lot about how the place is run.
⭐️The atmosphere overall was relaxed but polished the kind of spot you’d want to return to even if you didn’t have a flight to catch. If you’re ever passing through SF, even just for a layover like me, this place is 100% worth the short walk. Highly recommend!😍❤️”
“We got 2 meals (combo plate and chicken gyro) and both were amazing. Also, a great order of fries as a side. All delicious! We spoke with the owner for awhile as our food was being made. Great guy. We definitely recommend this business! We're going back tonight to try a cheese steak and a lamb wrap.”
