We've had more authentic Burmese cuisine in SF but this is fine for Palo Alto. Service was good and attentive.

Cocktail drinks are pretty good but just know that some drinks are small for the price. The best drink is the coconut one with coconut rum. We had mango ice cream for dessert which was a very generous portion but the ice cream was on the icy side and not as creamy as I hoped. It tasted decently good though.

Unfortunately, there were problems with every dish: 1. Extremely small portions: The basil chicken and mango chicken portions were ridiculously small. Around 80% of the container was just onions, and the containers were only about 70% full. For the price, this is unacceptable. 2. Almost no chicken in the garlic noodles: The garlic noodles had literally only two tiny pieces of chicken. I cannot believe I paid almost $3 extra to substitute pork with chicken and received basically no chicken at all. 3. Unbelievably salty: Both the garlic noodles and basil chicken were so salty that they were inedible. I had to rinse them with water five times, and then re-cook them myself just to make them edible. I've never had to do this with takeout before. The food wasn't just disappointing in terms of flavor and portion size--the biggest issue is that it feels like the restaurant is being extremely stingy while still charging fairly high prices. Poor portions, excessive salt, and very little meat. Definitely not worth the price, and I would not order from here again.

Kham and Raymond were so nice and helpful in planning the menu for our gathering. Everything was served family style. We ordered - Tea Leaf Salad- the perfect ratio of fermented tea leaves and ingrediants. - Samosas- light, crispy, and so flavorful - Nan Gyi Thoke- the noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy, and the curry was creamy and delightful. - Basil Lemongrass Chicken- fresh basil, and lemongrass really made this dish a popular topic. - Pumpkin Veggie- Nice ratio of pumpkin and other veggies, very hearty. - Kebat Lamb- savory, packed full of rich spices, the onions add so much texture and flavor as well. - Jasmine Rice Plus plenty of yummy tropical cocktails for the adults. They set up a little table for the cake, and some graduation items that we brought. They really went out of their way to make our celebration comfortable. Everything was in generous portions, fresh and expertly prepared. My guests raved about the food and service. Some of my guests had never tried Burmese food before and now in their meal rotation. We didn't realize that we had stretched into their rest period between lunch and dinner because they were so gracious about not rushing us. I highly recommend Burma Spice in Redwood City for any meal or occasion. The restaurant is such a gem in our neighborhood and the service is friendly.

While the portion sizes are on the smaller side for the price point, the overall dining experience makes it well worth it on occasion. The restaurant has a beautiful, upscale yet bright and reasonably kid-friendly indoor ambiance. Booking online is seamless, and parking is incredibly easy right underground in the Springline lot. The cocktails are good, and you absolutely cannot go wrong with the tea leaf salad, the roti pratha with coconut chicken curry, and the garlic chili prawns. The garlic noodles and fried rice can be a bit hit-or-miss; we have had visits where they are packed with flavor, have a perfect texture, and are a massive hit with the kids, but other times they have turned up a bit bland or with mushy noodles. The manager and staff are friendly and welcoming, and the manager has gone out of their way to accommodate our walk-in group on at least two occasions. My biggest tip is to avoid booking the outdoor seating. It consists of only one or two tables situated right on El Camino Real, making it way too noisy to enjoy your meal. Stick to the gorgeous indoor dining room or bar seating for a solid meal.

Owned by a winner of a reality cooking competition, it makes sense why it is priced at a premium, and with that follows pleasantly attentive service, innovative dishes, and comfy seating. I found the food to be generally pleasant, and the only thing that is unpleasant is their proximity to the train station that interrupts conversation on an intervalized basis.

From what I read, they were originally at a dif location, but moved to this new spot. There is a parking lot. The place was spacious, good amount of seating, and very green/lots of plants. Felt cozy. I got the kaya toast set, beef rendang nasilemak set and the curry puffs. You can pick either kopi or teh for the sets. I got one of each to try, they were strongggg, and not very sweet. Personally, I would've liked it to be a little sweeter. Aside from that, everything was presented nicely, good flavor, and good portions. The meal was comforting! I got there almost 12 and it wasn't very busy, but got quite busy by the time we left. Since they were busy, it took awhile to get attention/get the bill. I hope they decide to continue serving the breakfast menu and maybe add a few more items too as there aren't that many places that serve this in the area :)

Menu has gotten a bit easier to read. Decor and styling is a bit more modern, trendy, and bright. Nice to see that they have brunch sets that come at a slightly discounted price -- drink + main + appetizer. Did wish the portions were a bit larger however, but Menlo Park rent is expensive so maybe that's why? Quite busy on a Sunday morning, we had to join a waitlist and waited for ~10 mins. Seats are nice and cushioned. Convenient parking lot across the street. Char Kway Teow (4/5) -- revising my prior review, this was much better! I tasted a bit of the wok-he smokiness and it was sweet as well. My friend says he wished it was more smoky. Eggs + Kaya toast (3.5/5) -- pretty standard. I actually wanted to crack my own eggs, but that's just a me thing! Eggs were a little over cooked, but still delicious. Kaya toast could be a little crispier but the Kaya jam was very good. Hard to get this dish wrong! Nasi Lemak (3.5/5) -- Egg looked fried, but didn't really taste it. Wasn't bad but nothing really stood out as well. Coconut rice could have been maybe a little bit more fragrant but still good. Wished there was more beef rendang. Hokkien Mee (2/5) -- this one made me a little sad because this is one of my favorite dishes! Egg noodles didn't look the same, was much paler than expected. Didn't come with any sambal chili sauce at the side, so it didn't have much flavor as is. Came with shrimp and octopus. Calamari Juice (4/5) -- Not bad! Pretty good, but don't think I'll be craving this

I usually like Thai food, but decided to live dangerously and try this Burmese restaurant. The tea leaf salad was nicely tossed at our table and the flavor profile was complex: delice! The calamari appetizer had really thick, bland batter on it. The batter seem more fitting for cod or some kind of larger, more textured white fish (like in the New England style of "fish and chips"). I barely tasted the calamari and had to graze through all that batter. The mango chicken main course was very flavorful. It was not too hot spicey but spices spicey which gave it a kick of flavors to the tender strips of white chicken mean: delice! We got jasmine rice to eat with our main dishes; for the price point and considering it was just rice, I thought we could get a little more for what we paid. Based on my experience and limited sampling of food on the menu, the taste of the food is pretty good; some of the ingredients were not so good; the portions were very stingy when you look at how much we were charged. The service was so-so. No one at the restaurant went out of their way to make us feel special or make our dinner nicer. They took our order (no recommendation), dropped off the food and left us alone (no checking back). Even though we had all kinds of food on the table, our server or other employees did not crumb or try to make our table look nice for the next course (I swear the romaine lettuce and yellow bean thing was staring at me from the table the entire time!). the employees did not smile often and made us feel like we were an imposition when we asked many questions or asked if something could be added to a particular dish. I don't mean to sound like a racist, but this is how I usually get treated at an Asian restaurant. I was hoping that since this was on University Avenue, maybe, I might get better, upscale and "Westernize" caliber of customer service. Points I did not like: This place is really cramped. We could smell the customers and had to move in contorted ways to avoid bumping into them. I like a little more room when I spend this kind of money and when I dine in this posh strip of Palo Alto. The restaurant also was really, really loud. Sound boards, anyone? We had to wait for our check because our server decided to go on a holiday in the middle of the dinner rush. By the time we flagged him down, it took him another long amount of time to print out our check. And then there was the time he had to pick up the check with my Visa card and then the time he had to return the printouts for me to sign for the charges. Before we asked for the check and after we sat there staring at our empty dishes, he never offered us any desserts, coffee or any kind of after-dinner drinks or anything. I also saw the next tables drinks (hard to miss since the tables were placed to closed to each other) be totally empty and the server never refilled it or removed the glass. The ghetto service does not match well with this new, modern interior setting of this restaurant. This bad combinations of experience made our delicious food seem not that pleasant, after all. Would I return to Burma Ruby? I might. But there are several Thai/Burmese/Chinese/Indian restaurant in Palo Alto generally and also along University Avenue that has the same, if not better, tasting and quality food, same mediocre or forgettable customer service and cost much, much less ... and do not have the parking problems that sometimes make dining in downtown PA a little stressful and inconvenient. There are many take-outs type of places that offer me better value, better food and better no-fuss service. I say I "might" because I am still pondering why I would trouble myself and invest my money into this place when it really does not offer me anything better than what is already out there. read more

Only after my payment was processed did they hand me my food and say, "Thank you." I completely understand that businesses need to protect themselves and ensure orders are paid for before they're released. That's not the issue. It's the way it was handled. As a customer, it felt like I was being treated as if I might take the food and run, rather than being welcomed into a local, family-owned business. A simple greeting, confirming the order, and then politely requesting payment would have made all the difference. Great customer service and protecting your business can absolutely go hand in hand.

we had a late night in San Jose. this place was on our way.we arrived a bit late , but they…read morewelcomed us in. Attended us right away explained the menu to us. We were so hungry we just started ordering different dishes from the menu, not knowing what family style. I wound up ordering the Mapo tofu, boy when I tell you that thing was spicy! And I like spice I couldn't even touch it. I decided to take it home with me. Everything else was delicious. The owner came out and explained to us every single dish. The restaurant was kind of quiet since we were the last one there but reasonable prices. I'm definitely going back.

Really nice experience here with my family!…read more Good - each dish was high quality - especially like the honey walnut prawns and the tomato egg noodles - very savory and crunchy - The portion sizes are large! Super full at the end - The waiters are really nice and friendly especially if you speak Chinese - super quiet and good for catching up here, modern ambiance Bad Pretty expensive overall Wait time was a bit more long Overall this was a really nice time and especially with a large group!

I have been craving pho for a while. I was in the area for an appt and I finished right around…read more11am. This place was open. I was the second patron. I sat inside. There were 3 wait staff and they were all very friendly and nice. Service was on point. Rare steak small pho - This was filled with a good amount of beef and noodles. I liked that I got a plate of bean sprouts etc. Some places don't offer this anymore. I drank half the broth - tasty and not heavy on the msg. I wanted a Thai ice tea but knew I wasn't going to finish at the restaurant. They placed it in a to-go cup for me. I would return the next time I am in Los Altos. Very satisfied.

I originally wanted to get a pho dish but saw that they had a wonton egg noodle soup that they said…read morewas one of their specials, so I decided to get that since you don't really see that option often. Quantity was quite large and reasonable for the size. However, the broth was a bit lackluster and well... it's exactly what it's named: wontons and egg noodles. I'm not sure what I expected but it just didn't have the impact I'd expect it to have. It's not bad, but it wasn't amazing either. Service was decent. Wasn't too busy on a Friday evening. If I come back, I'd like to try one of their phos instead.
