I could go on and on about this spot. It was fantastic. All around wonderful except there is only 1 bathroom and when it's busy...well don't wait til the last minute to pee or there may be a line??♀️ cannot wait to go back!!!Vegetarian options: Everything we ordered was very well balanced. Proportions we're good for 2 to share depending on how hungry you are I guess, we shared 4 dishes and we're stoked with everything

Love burmatowm. Excellent food and service. Have their system down Pat for serving as many people as possible. Just want to point out the bathroom is kind of gross which isn't a good look for a nice restaurant. They and (all) restaurants should keep their bathrooms spotless and nice so that we can assume their kitchen cleanliness is the same.

The best restaurant in Marin!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could. Their Tea Leaf Salad is the best I've ever had. There is not a bad item on the menu!

If you like Burmese, you’ll love Chef Jenny’s beautiful, fresh, and delicious takes on classic dishes as well as her specials. The menu is accessible and has something to please everyone, and at reasonable prices. The space is unfussy, comfortable, and stylish without being obnoxious, and the staff and service are wonderful. Parking isn’t horrible, but you may have to walk a bit if it’s busy. There’s a reason this place is always poppin’ and is a local fave.Also, just get the tea leaf salad…you want it even if you don’t know it, and it’s just effing delicious.

Best Burmese in Marin? Burmatown is, for sure. (It's the only one). On a cool and damp Saturday night, everyone in Marin seemed to have converged on it. Burmatown has great apps, big (for a Burmese restaurant) beer and wine menu. They stopped carrying what was my favorite nitrogen stout. I had been longing for it the last time I came) to have with a palatha. Oh well. The crispy angel wings ($14) were crispy and as big as chicken. Burmatown bao ($5.50 each) are like little soft tacos. We got one with ribeye and one with lemon shrimp. And, of course, the palatha and dip,$11, which was a bit too overcooked but still delicious.

I must admit, I've been daydreaming about Burmatowm's garlic noodles ever since I first tried them months ago. I'm a huge fan of Burmese cuisine, and when I found myself pet sitting nearby, I knew I had to seize the opportunity to dine at this restaurant on Tamalpais. To start, I ordered the shrimp bao, and it was delightful--the slaw was refreshing, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. For my main course, I savored the mushroom garlic noodles, which had just the right amount of spice. I absolutely adore this place and wholeheartedly recommend it!

First experience last year was fabulous food. This year everything was mediocre. Too bad...

Really fun dinner - sat at the bar and had the Scallop special with Garlic Noodles and Tea Leaf Salad. Every bite was amazing and our wait person was amazing - total 5 star experience.

Excellent everything! Friendly service, fantastic, food, and lively atmosphere. No matter what you order you are bound to love it. The food is meticulously prepared by the owner. You might even be lucky enough to see her at the end of the evening and thank her yourself.
Absolutely love it! Garlic noodles and green beans followed by just about anything else. Fantastic spot.

Nice restaurant with good food. If you suffer from migraines, this place loads food with MSG. Too bad, food doesn't need it. I've gotten two massive migraines eating here. Unfortunately off my list now.

Wonderful ambiance and delish food! We sat at the bar for a date night and the bar tender was very attended and doubled as a great server.

Love Burmatown. Whether it be stir fry, vegetables, dumplings, noodles or dessert, every dish is delectable. Top notch, friendly service too. One tip though for the uninitiated, go when they open and/or on a weeknight. They do not take reservations for parties under six (6) people and the wait times can be long during prime dining hours on Friday and Saturday.

I really can't say enough about Burmatown. It's evident from the moment you walk in just how much heart and soul Chef Jenny has poured into this establishment. Each plate was absolutely delicious, and the portions were excellent. What a gem for central Marin.
