“I had lunch here and did not know what to expect and they exceeded my expectations. The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing. You have to try the giant dosa. The lamb shank fell off of the bone and was so juicy, and their drinks were so refreshing”
“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.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Mediterranean Food!
If you are looking for authentic, fresh, and incredibly flavorful Mediterranean food, this is the place to go in Burlingame! The kabobs are cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with the right amount of spices. Every side dish, from the hummus to the fresh rice, tastes homemade and high-quality.
Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The portions are very generous for the price, meaning you definitely won't leave hungry. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch wrap or sitting down for a full dinner plate, it never disappoints. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great Turkish tea, and really good hookah. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful, and the vibe of the place was very cozy and stylish. Our waiter Ayaz was very friendly, attentive, and really listened to our preferences and requests. Definitely a great spot for a relaxing evening”

“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. :)”

“I decided to give it a try because Mediterranean. There are too many Italian and Asian places and I wanted something different.
Gives an I glad I did !
They have a great menu choice and although I don't remember the name of my dish it was lamb and it was amazing. Perfect temperature, amazing flavor, the rice was spot on and the salad crunchy and fresh.
I am not sure what stressing they used but I could drink that by itself, it was amazing. The lady who served me had a smile on her face and was super polite. The bread I got with my order was delicious.
I am absolutely coming back here and I will drag everybody here who asks me where to eat.
Next time I want to try their pizza so watch for that.
A really great place, I can only recommend it.
Update 05/2026:
Kofta Kebap Plate.... I just returned from Sydney where I got to try and enjoy all sorts of meals so it was my desire to stop by Med. P&G for a Kofta Kebab plate.. and I am so glad I did.
The best was tender and flavorful, the gentle lemon dressing on the crisp salad was incredible, the rice really really good and the bread... I have no words.
I am glad I came back!”

“Food was good. Service is a little lackluster; it almost as though our table was invisible. Not once was our table checked on during the meal. The only time a request could be placed was when we asked the young lady that came to remove empty plates from the table.”

“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!”
“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!”
“Nice Irish bar right in the middle of Broadway in Burlingame. The drinks are decent and there’s a great atmosphere. They have a little beer garden at the back which isn’t noticeable so ask at the bar for it to go look for it. It’s a cash only bar but they do have an ATM indoors but it charges you for a transaction. Best bring cash with you.”
“Family operated business establishments are always the best!! Food is superb!! Price is competitive!”

“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!”
“We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner in the Mezzanine room upstairs. The dinner was fantastic and the servers did an amazing job. Bianca was incredibly helpful and really went above and beyond to help us order the space, choose our menus and wines. Thank you, Stella, for helping us have such a warm and welcoming rehearsal dinner. We received so many compliments on the space and the food (especially the salmon and rum cake!)!”
“Amazing place to hang out if you are near San Francisco Airport. The vibe is good, place is cozy. I visited on Saturday night and DJ was amazing. Good dance floor. Helpful staff and some good options of cocktails. Ample parking that is free too over weekends. Must visit place. Kash was great in making sure only the right aged people are getting inside. He was humble and cheerful person. Dancing as well 😂 on the beats inside.”
“Been there many many times, the service is top notch! There's a lady who's often there don't know her name, but she's so attentive for all the needs! Best service ever.
Food is fantastic! Love the soup flavor! I've ordered a bunch of different ramen: clams(not fishy at all), shoyu, beef ribs, KFC chicken ramen(so much food for the value); also curry, grilled chicken skewer, whatever they have it on the menu. It's good!
They have lunch special, which is very reasonable priced for a lot of food. So more crowds during that time. Though they are pretty busy in general just because they are GOOOD!”

“5🌟 restaurant!! We often do take-out from Yuanbao and have tried all of their noodle dishes. The noodles and dumplings are always made fresh and come out piping hot. Food taste great with good & consistent portion! It truly deserves the high ratings.🥳 I also love their open kitchen and the staff are friendly.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We have visited this establishment many times. We appreciated the chicken tikka masala, garlic cheese naan, and tandoori chicken. Their chai is also exceptional. The service is excellent, and the staff are welcoming. I am very pleased to have discovered an Indian restaurant that meets our preferences.”
“Another great place for Mediterranean cravings. Their gyros kebab wrap are pretty good as well. Their kebab, lamb shank are full of great flavors. This place is pretty neat and well cleaned as well as the crew is always on top of their toes to clean used tables. Not that loud and the vibe in this place is pretty welcoming. The down side which is only a suggestion for the staff to add some smile in their services other than that i highly recommend this place.”
“I absolutely loved my experience here. The workers here are so pleasant, and my waitress made my dinner feel extra special.
The Burrata caprese with prosciutto was so good!! I was mind blown. The pastas were all delicious and you can’t go wrong with tiramisu either.. My only regret is not getting lasagna which seems to be their signature.
I will be back for that next time. :)”

“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.”
“Cafe Central is a fantastic spot in Burlingame, and they offer a really wide selection of food, pastries, and coffee. Honestly, everything we’ve tried here has been great. The food is so good that it’s actually pretty hard to find a seat, even if you visit during off-peak hours! That clearly shows how popular and high-quality this place is, but you definitely have to be prepared to wait a bit for an open table. The owner/manager is wonderful and very friendly—we run into her pretty much every single time we stop by, and she always makes the experience feel welcoming. The staff behind the counter can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on the day, but in general, they're good. If you don't mind a little bit of a crowd, it's absolutely worth a visit for the great menu.”
“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!”
“It is one of the best sushi restaurants that serves fresh sushi, not freshly thawed ones. The foods are pretty authentic and delicious. I highly recommend this place for those who really wish to dine at authentic Japanese restaurants.”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“HUGE sandwiches that make you savor each bite. I got to try this location for the first time and it’s such a big uplift from the original one in San Bruno.
Got the chipotle chicken sandwich with Ceaser salad and it was delicious. Love the way chicken and melted crunchy cheese comes together to make a wholesome meal. Highly highly highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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! 😋”
“Easy to find, plenty of parking. Very impressive office complex, very inviting common area with a short walk to the water side of the San Francisco Bay. Views of aircraft on final approach to San Francisco International Airport.
The coffee shop is clean and well laid out, kind of small, not very much indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor seating and tables.
Good servers, our order was taken promptly and correctly. Lattes and bagels, both delicious.
We would visit again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Loving the spring menu and especially grateful for Miguel at Burlingame Starbucks who took my questions and my order! I went earlier this week and he was so patient and thoughtful modifying my order. Miguel's kindness and help was deeply noticed and appreciated, and I will try to visit this location again when I'm next in the area!”
“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.”
“Chill atmosphere with classical Italian music at the perfect volume level for a nice dinner.
The food was fresh and the sauces tasted hand made and with the perfect touch of condiment.
Server was kind and attentive.”
“Looking for something different after our cruise. Centro definitely hit the spot!! Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and awesome playlist!”

“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.”

“Ume Ume Ume I love you! Arguably the best price performance boba in the bay. You can still get <$6 drinks including toppings. They have a monopoly on that drinkable mochi topping (other places have tried but the texture is never as good). I am obsessed with their winter seasonal special that I hope never goes away - the purple sticky rice and mochi combo milk tea. So so so good. Excited to them to open in San Mateo as well to fill that void between Palo Alto and Burlingame. So good, such good price performance. Love!”
“Finding Ceré Tea in Burlingame Avenue was a pleasant surprise. Many Matcha and Hojicha tea drinks; half the menu are einspanners and half are lattes. Plus there are other options: fruit & cream tornado drinks. I tried the matcha strawberry einspanner today. Yum! Over the weekend I had a fruit tornado mango. Double yummy!
Limited seating…too many people with laptops here on weekdays. Popular with Asian and non-Asian young people. The drinks are pricy though - keep this in mind as a splurge!”
