    Chicken Crisp
    Gwyne P.

    This was the most amazing meal I've ever had! Parking is pretty difficult to find and located in a super busy area so please be mindful. We were seated right away with no reservation. The ambiance was very date night vibe and elegant. Our servers were very quick and efficient. I love that when the food was served, they ask if you'd like your food mixed do you. They also give their recommendations how to eat a dish if it's your first time there. Everything we ordered was absolutely rich in flavor and full of spices! I left feeling full, but not heavy or groggy. That's always a win in my book. They also pack your food to go. I can't wait to come back!

    Came here for a team dinner on a Wednesday night (had reservations). Honestly thought the food was really good! I would definitely order the Palata, crazy coconut and lamb curry again. The samosas were really good as well. Would probably visit again in my own personal time!

    Wow, yelp is like a time capsule. I totally forgot I came here many moons ago. We decided to come here because Justin came from out of town to visit us and he was craving Burmese food. Good pick! Because we probably only get Burmese food once a year and it was about time. We didn't have a reservation but walked in on a Friday night and were seated pretty quickly. We ordered a number of things for 3 of us: 1) tea leaf salad: must get. So yummy 2) some beef dish: oops I can't recall the exact type but it was a popular item 3) some chicken dish: also forgot the name but it was quite heavy in the soy sauce 4) some noodle dish: again, another suggested item that I forgot the name Honestly I think I would stick with salads and noodles next time. The stir fry dishes were way too salty. Or you really need to wash it down with some coconut rice! I increased the rating from last time since I was pretty happy about every dish. Portion is a bit small for the price so definitely more for a special occasion. Ambiance was nice and romantic.

    My coworkers and I came here for lunch during the week. It was decently busy, but we were seated upon arrival. Food: I ordered the mango tofu with coconut rice. I also ordered a Burmese coffee. The mango tofu was delicious. The texture of the tofu was amazing. The mango tofu paired well with the coconut rice. The Burmese coffee was pretty good. I would order it again. Service: Service for lunch was a little slow for lunch time. It's only an issue only because we have a limited time for lunch at work. Otherwise, service was friendly. TL;DR - service can be a little slow for lunch service, but the mango tofu is delicious.

    For a change of pace, in late November we decided to try Rangoon Ruby which has Burmese food. We went there on a Sunday afternoon for lunch before seeing a movie at the theater right across the street. Service - The waiter was very nice when we told him we only had 45 minutes since our movie was going to start then. So he gave us just the right amount of time to check the menu and then took our order. Our food came in about 10 minutes, and my mai tai was delivered in less than 5 minutes. Food - I had the Samosa Salad which was delicious. Lots of fresh veggies and salad, with a tasty sauce and bits of samosas. My husband had the "Country Style" Beef curry, lots of beef with jasmine rice. I really like the beef dish. Drinks - I had a Mai Tai which was good but I'd probably try a different drink next time. Ambience - nice decor, restaurant was only a third full when we went that day so can't say much about how noisy it would be.

    Not sure why this place is called both Rangoon Ruby and Burma Ruby? It's a little confusing, but the food was good nonetheless! As someone who is always on the hunt for a good tea leaf salad, I had to try it! Their Tea Leaf Salad comes with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, peanuts, yellow beans, dried shrimp, and my favorite part, Burmese tea leafs! It arrives at your table beautifully presented, and then the server mixes it for you. Very refreshing, and it has a great combination of textures! We also got the Palata, and I'd have to say, Rangoon Ruby's was one of the best I've had. Soft and flakey, you could really see the layers! It's served with a tasty coconut chicken dipping sauce. Wanted to try something different, so we opted for the Burmese Eggplant Curry. The eggplant had a really nice fried texture. The curry was mixed with finely chopped pieces of onion, garlic, and ginger and was less saucy than I was expecting for a curry. But even a little bit packed a lot of flavor! Definitely get a side of rice to eat with this one.

    Green with envy - cucumber together with jalepeno. So good.

    My coworker and I went after a crazy day at work and was greeted with great service and recommendations by our server Melvin. When the food came out, they pushed another table to ours to give us more room. The staff there was extremely nice. The food came out and was delicious. We had the Minted Jalapeño Chicken with coconut rice and garlic noodles. Drink was Green with Envy, it was so good. I would definitely come again.

    Arrived 4:30 pm Thursday...no wait was seated immediately. Easy parking across street in lot. I believe dining should be a cultural experience. Having lived 10yrs in Southeast Asia, I was excited to try a new Burmese restaurant. We enjoyed the tea leaf salad in the covered outside seating area. Melvin explained each ingredient and helped toss the salad. He thoughtfully offered to plate the jalapeños (yes) and dried shrimp (no) on the side. Salad was visually wonderful and savory. We migrated indoors when temperatures hit 90 degrees to enjoy AC and decor. Melvin our server was friendly and chatty. His recommendations of tea leaf salad, coconut rice and chicken kebab was perfect and made our first time dining experience memorable. Chicken was moist not overcooked and coconut rice fragrant. Melvin catered to our low spice level by making the chicken kebab mild.

    Tea Leaf Salad

    Had reservations for 10 on a Tuesday evening and it was PACKED!!! But surprisingly the service was fast and efficient and the servers were friendly and attentive! It was really loud with all the people there so hearing conversations across from you was a bit hard. The food was overall really good! We ordered a bunch of dishes since we were a table of 10 and got to try a bit of every thing. Tea leaf salad was good, but the tea leaf was a bit lacking, it had more lettuce than anything. Potstickers were good with the sauce. Palatha was good and not too oily. Nan gyi dok noodles were refreshing and light. The beef curry was flavorful and the meat was tender. The tofu and vegetables were my favorite. Packed with flavor and not too salty. Shrimp kebab was delicious And the salt and pepper calamari was ok. Probably wouldn't order that one again. Overall super satisfied with our meal! Would definitely come back.

    (Palo Alto) Food: Palata (chicken curry) (8.8/10)- really well cooked and the chicken curry was a perfect combo to the Palata. The texture of the Palata was spot on Tea leaf salad (7.8/10) nothing special about this. A lot ingredients but it tasted like a basic salad. It just looks pretty. Tea leafs didn't really pop out. Definitely tasted the citrus of the lemon Mango chicken (8.5/10) - this was really delicious. Flavor was tasty. Could have added more mango but that's just my preference. The spice level were just right and not too over powering at all Setting: indoor. Great for date night, solo, or group. Has a mouth wash in the restroom which was a nice touch to cleanse your mouth. Service: server was friendly. Mixed the salad for us which we appreciate. Only complain is they never refilled our empty water glass throughout our stay. So you have to ask for it Price: price is a little expensive but i would come back to check out the other dishes Parking: Side streets and parking lots. Just need to drive around

    Palata w/ coconut chicken curry
    Cynthia Y. L.

    *LOCATION* This hole-in-the wall restaurant is located in downtown Palo Alto, off on a side street. It was barely visible when we were walking by. There is street parking and a few parking lots in the area. *WAIT TIME* There was no wait for our party of 2 on Sunday ~6:30pm. Shortly after we got seated, the restaurant became pretty full/packed. We were surprised at how popular this place was! *FOOD* -Palata w/ coconut chicken curry: nice and flaky "naan" type bread, there was a small piece of chicken in the dipping curry -Burmese eggplant curry: eggplant pieces were undercooked and too hard, the curry sauce was ok -Fiery beef tofu: decent, beef was a lil tough, sauce was thick and sweet, we asked for mild but it wasn't a teeny bit spicy at all -Coconut rice: very fragrant and coconut-y *SERVICE* Our servers were great and very attentive. Bathroom was clean. The only con was that the food took a looong time to come out unfortunately :( *AMBIENCE* Overall, the interior looked nice and service was good. We were really looking forward to the food but were a lil disappointed (maybe we chose the wrong items??). Hopefully, other people have better experiences!

    Both the appetizers were delicious. Lettuce wrap had amazing flavors and tea leaf salad was refreshing. Red curry in entrée did not have any unique flavors. Although the tofu made with bean had perfect tofu like texture and did not taste like tofu. Good innovation Pad thai was a bit sweet but delicious. + Point Very sweet, helpful, patient server. Helped us in selecting the dish we liked according to our choice. -Point Very noisy

    Service was very good. The food was bland; not a rich flavor at all. What was supposed to be medium spiced was at best mild. Disappointing.

The Burma house noodles were too sweet and funky for my family and my taste, not savory enough or nutty enough (it did reheat better the next day and somehow tasted a bit better). Tea leaf salad was decent, nothing wow about it, probably from a decent quality salad kit if I had to guess. Especially considering how quickly the two we ordered came out. There are a few Burmese restaurants in SF and Berkeley I compare this place to which is why I give it a solid 3.

They sat us outside on their lovely patio at two long tables to accommodate our group of 24. The first thing we noticed when we sat down was the customized menus they had prepared, with the name of our organization printed at the top which was a nice touch. The organizers had opted for a family style meal, so they basically just brought out several dishes of everything on the menu spread out across our tables. The restaurant was great about crafting a menu around dietary restrictions- about 1/3 of the group was vegetarian and we also had one vegan (me), and there were plentiful options for everyone. While vegan options were not labeled on the menu, the servers are very knowledgeable and let me know that out of our menu, all the vegetarian options except the roti prata were vegan (the roti has butter). As a result I was able to try the poh pia, wok fried eggplant, sayur lodeh, and kueh nagasari. They started first by bringing out the appetizers, I personally was not a huge fan of the poh pia, I really enjoyed the sauces but I didn't love the roll itself. However chicken satay was a huge hit, I think for many it was their favorite dish of the whole meal. I enjoyed the entrees a lot more, especially the wok fried eggplant which was so wonderfully tender. The sayur lodeh was also very good, however the curry could have been more flavorful- I didn't even realize it was supposed to be spicy until I looked again at the menu after the meal. We ended with kueh nagasari which was a coconut pudding for dessert, I thought this was delicious, except I think the shredded coconut inside the pudding should have been left out since it disrupted the creamy texture. Since we had leftovers after the meal the staff brought out a ton of takeout containers and we all left happily with food to take home. Overall the service and ambiance definitely made this lunch an amazing experience. The food was pretty good but nothing really blew me away, although I'm not sure if having to serve such a large group affected the food quality. I would definitely be willing to come back again to try some more of the menu.
