Restaurants in Burlingame

“Velvet 48 is my favorite wine bar. They have interesting selections of wines and always adding new and interesting wines from Europe and the states. The staff are knowledgeable and offer tastings. They are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The noise level is perfect to enjoy your wine and conversations.”

“My wife and I had a wonderful time at Rasa. The service was great and the food was amazing. It was so flavorful and exotic. We ordered additional small plates so we could enjoy the variety of flavors and shared a main dish (we were getting full). Almost forgot the mention the cocktails; the mixologist makes specialty cocktails that are simply delicious. We definitely will be returning soon.”

“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.”

“We have dined at almost all Mediterranean restaurants in downtown Burlingame. The most outstanding in all categories is the Mediterranean kitchen on Lorton Avenue.
The location is most convenient and the Resturant atmosphere is most welcoming. From their humble Owner to each employee, each patron receives a warm and gracious welcoming.
The food and presentation is definitely five star in all aspects.
You truly feel the Mediterranean experience from the atmosphere to the delightful background music.
It is truly a great dining experience, both for lunch and dinner!”

“Love this place. Bring people here all the time for a quick bite or just after dinner hookah. Ambiance is great with indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to go somewhere where you feel at home and are truly treated as a guest come here.”

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.”

“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”

“Amazing staff, sandwiches, and specials. Christine runs it and she's a great person. You'll love Yay!”

“Great price for a yummy treat!! Try them all!!!!”

“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.”

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.”

“The drinks were perfectly made and the owner welcomed my guests as they arrived. The music volume was perfect and not too loud and the music being played was great! Coming back for sure when I’m back in town.”

“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!”

“Amazing poke’ ! Incredible service! Awesome owners! Cool Asian sparkling water flavors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

“Delicious. Best swedish crepes/pancakes!!! Great breakfast burrito too. But everyone loves this place so it seems all the food is tasty! Friendly staff. Lots of parking in a lot in front. Great little diner vibe. Lots of locals.”

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍”

“Everything i ordered (mansaf, veggie plate, chick shawerma, dolma, tabbouleh) was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. And the aish elsraya was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I’m going back for more. Great service, too.”

“All is good Food and Service”

“Amazing quality, freshness, and portions, both with the sushi and the avocado/bacon burger. Super friendly, small, and family-owned. Perfect spot for a meal before a flight.”

“Tout était parfait merci pour le conseil”

“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.”

“They are by far the $1 restaurant around. right on the mark”

“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.”

“Looking for something different after our cruise. Centro definitely hit the spot!! Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and awesome playlist!”

“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!”

“First time dining at Twelvemonth. Everything from ambiance, food quality, to service was outstanding. It is such a treat to have an entirely plant based menu in a beautiful environment like this. Jack, our server, and management took incredible care of us. Will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu. My compliments to the kitchen and staff. Cheers!”

“The staff were attentive and friendly. The restaurant is attractive and spacious. The food was delicious, however I felt it was overpriced for the portion size and complexity.”

“Excellent food Best gelato too”

“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.”

“Haven't been in years. What a great memory for me and my wife to be taken back and reminded of a place we have loved for years and years. 6 years living far away and wow great standards still. Service was top notch. Food was excellent and so well flavored. Beautiful decor in the restaurant and patio.”

“Great food and service was excellent. I would go back there again”

“Good food and fast service!”

“Incredible choice of pastries! Wow! First time visit did not disappoint 😊”

“Excellent food and service and atmosphere”

“Fantastic food and good prices Excellent service”

“Italian fire wood chicken and margarita pizza”

“Family operated business establishments are always the best!! Food is superb!! Price is competitive!”

“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.”

“BEST RAMEN EVER! I've eaten ramen all over the U.S. & this is absolutely the best I've ever had! You can't beat the rich savory creamy broth, tender noodle, moist chashu, all fresh toppings & generous portions. The beef short rib was fabulous flavor & succulent.
I had miso ramen & my son had TanTan ramen. This is my new favorite ramen eatery!
Staff is super kind & accommodating. I'm in electric wheelchair and they made space for me at their cozy restaurant. Food came out very quickly.”

“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.”

“The food here is absolutely delicious! I ordered the lamb shank, and it came with rice and a huge fresh salad. It was absolutely amazing.

I also ordered the baklava, and it’s honestly the best baklava I’ve had in the Bay Area so far.

I highly recommend trying the baklava and, of course, the lamb shank. Thanks for a fantastic mealI left very happy!”

“Delicious Burmese Cuisine.”

“Great place. Long lines and worth it”

“Awesome and fresh ! Defo worth going there for food and check it out your selves, it will be worth it!”

“Beef noodle soup was 5 star, pork chive shrimp egg dumpling was 3 star

Noodles were springy and beef was tender, dumpling wrapper was too thick and filling was undersaltes”

“It’s really creamy delicious! Highly recommended. 😋”

“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. :)”

“Great tea, and great English tea and sandwiches. Best tea blends I’ve encountered outside China and amazing nibbles especially the chocolate chip cookies All my tea I brew at home comes from here highly recommended”

“Great food and love the outside seating. so quant and cozy. Chinese chicken salad is delicious. very friendly staff. I only wish they had the nutrition info next to the items on the menu for those of is that like to keep track.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“es algo bueno que hayan puesto este bakery, algo de nuestra tierra por que yo soy de ahi.❤️”

“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.”

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners”

“We door dashed to a local hotel, rec'd wrong pizza. I contact them, they fixed the mistake. I would use them again.”

“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.”

“Quality vendors, very friendly community shoppers, nice place to be on a Sunday morning!!!”

“First time here. Love the place awesome coffee..gingersnap and pastries. Very friendly staff.”

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area”

“We love the food and Fresca.”

“Excellent service. I had a issue with my meal and the manager was genuinely concerned and wanted to make it right. He ultimately ended up comping my meal. I really appreciated the gesture. My server was also very professional and kind. Thank you so much!”

“Yummy and healthy! Great taste and lots of flavors!”

“A food truck I finally got to try while waiting for the Caltrain. Good quick eats. This truck is actually located at the west side of Caltrain by the parking lot pick up area.”

“Quality food everyone should give them a try ���”

“Not only are the cookies spectacular but Lizzy made an amazing chocolate cake for my wife’s birthday.”

“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! 😋”

“Great sandwiches but not amazing. The portions are huge here so you will not go hungry. Long lines as well but, the food is worth it. Overall, worth trying for sure. I’m a bit of a sandwich snob being from Chicago, so when I say these are not amazing, I do not mean they are not delish. I’d just probably not go back.”

“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.”

“Amazing sandwiches 🥪 & salads 🥗”

“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.”

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Step into France. The croissant are perfect - and so many choices. I love to go on homemade pasta day.”

“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 my chi tea And egg bites”

“Location always clean, staff very friendly and have been working for quite some time. Enjoyed my sandwich”

“La comida es buena solo que hoy que fuimos apesar que tenía la reservación a la 1:45 pm el chef empezó 3 pm a cocinar”

“First time dining at Twelvemonth. Everything from ambiance, food quality, to service was outstanding. It is such a treat to have an entirely plant based menu in a beautiful environment like this. Jack, our server, and management took incredible care of us. Will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu. My compliments to the kitchen and staff. Cheers!”

“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.”

“Great service, delicious food.”

“The food was very good indeed and the service was excellent.”

“The staff were attentive and friendly. The restaurant is attractive and spacious. The food was delicious, however I felt it was overpriced for the portion size and complexity.”

“Great food and service was excellent. I would go back there again”

“Food was great. Service was excellent even the restaurant was packed at height of dinner. Great food!”

“Good food and fast service!”

“Excellent food Best gelato too”

“Incredible choice of pastries! Wow! First time visit did not disappoint 😊”

“Haven't been in years. What a great memory for me and my wife to be taken back and reminded of a place we have loved for years and years. 6 years living far away and wow great standards still. Service was top notch. Food was excellent and so well flavored. Beautiful decor in the restaurant and patio.”

“Nice place”

“simply the best Margherita I've ever had! The crust and sauce are perfection and the service is excellent! can't wait til next time!”

“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!”

“Really like the backyard of this place especially in a sunny day. Good coffee and cake. Is there any chance to bring the matcha yuzu cheesecake back on stage pllllllsssssss it’s soooooooooo gooooooddd”

“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!”

“First time there yesterday. Delic!! Staff was Fabulous!! Especially Ashley!!”
