Overall it’s pretty good, though the dessert was a slight letdown. The tea leaf salad is a favorite, always recommended. Also tried the basil chili lamb and chicken biryani. The lamb was great, the biryani was decent. Coconut rice doesn’t have as pronounced of a coconut flavor as other places. For dessert we tried the sticky rice with mango, but the mango was not ripe at all: instead it was hard and slightly sour, definitely not a good complement for the rice. We mentioned this to the server but after checking with the kitchen he said they didn’t have any better mangoes. We got some ice cream as well – that was ok. Would pass on both desserts next time unless they had ripe mangoes. Overall it’s a decent value in terms of taste/price.

This is a great place to eat Burmese food. Usually not crowed but it is better to make a reservation. Thanks be of the owners is really friendly and smiled at our little one. Place is quiet and we’re friendly to our child. Parking was not difficult Friday around 6 pm. Recommended to small and big groups.

Our second time at Royal Rangoon. Feels like you cannot go wrong with the food here. I would have given a five stars but yesterday, the restaurant was busy and that created some room for a little bit of delay in everything. But overall, a pleasant experience.

The owner is dealing with water damage and landlord issues so when we went they were takeout only. I feel for him and hope people keep supporting this gem of a business. That being said, was a little disappointed in the dishes (except for the coconut rice–that stuff is GOLD). Let the guy at the front talk me into a salad that was very blah (trust your gut, don’t be swayed!). And we got eggplant (yum!) With overly fried tofu (sigh). But that coconut rice….. Dreamy. I’ll be back!

Small restaurant, good ambience with some Burma maps on the wall. I like places where you can have dinner on the bar . I had the Royal Rangoon noodles and their red chicken curry. The curry was great. Royal Rangoon noodles are served cold which don’t taste good when they are cold. Probably I don’t get the idea as to why that dish is supposed to be served cold.

Absolutely love this place. Delicious food that beats the heck out of any other (over-hyped, ahem) Burmese restaurants in town. Kind, efficient staff and a hole-in-the-wall vibe that’s just right. Give it a try if you haven’t yet.
