We tried the tea leaf salads from Burmese Delight. For a food truck, the flavors were pretty good -- fresh and satisfying. However, the price felt a bit high for what we got. Decent experience overall, but not sure I'd go out of my way for it again.

Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 I actually saw this food cart featured in a Mike Chen video, so my bf and I decided to give it a try and it was really good! We originally wanted to try the beef and potato curry, but they were out, so we went with the chicken as an alternative. The dish itself was simple, with just chicken, potatoes, curry sauce, and paratha but it was packed with flavor. The curry's rich taste paired with the tenderness of the chicken was unlike anything I've had before tasted very hearty. To enjoy it, I shredded some chicken and added it to the paratha, along with a little bit of pickled daikon radish and carrot. It made for the perfect bite, as the pickled veggies balanced out the richness. I'll definitely be back to try the beef curry and will continue to keep this spot in mind whenever I'm nearby, good comfort food overall was very satisfied!

Burmese Delight is our favorite food cart at the Asylum food cart pods located in the Hawthorne district in PDX. Delicious food. Portions could be more generous. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

It's been a while since I've had Burmese food, so I was excited to see Burmese Delight in the little food court. I had a hard time deciding between the chicken samosas, the Shan noodle salad, and the tea leaf salad, but I ended up choosing the tea leaf salad. Unfortunately, this tea leaf salad did not hit the spot. It mostly tasted like fish sauce and sesame oil. I've also never seen corn in this dish when I've had it at other places, and I didn't really care for it. The salad was pretty oily, which is usually fine, but the staff was a bit stingy with napkins and only gave me one, so it was hard to eat cleanly. Maybe I would've had a better experience with the Shan noodle salad or the samosas, but I'm not sure if I'm open to giving this place another chance.

Green tea leaf salad (vegan)

Great food truck in a food truck village. They have maybe a dozen dishes, with clearly marked vegan items, including classic Burmese dishes like a tea leaf salad and Burmese chickpea tofu. We split an order of each, plus a Burmese noodle salad. (Each dish was $12.) The food took a little while to be ready but it was worth the wait. Every dish was fantastic, especially the two classic dishes: wonderfully integrated flavours and textures. Reasonable portions for the price. Fantastic spot.

13. Shan Noodle salad
Jason C.

I'm always surprised I haven't reviewed a place when I've been there more than once. The tea leaf salad I had in the past was super hearty with a nice range of textures. I tried the shan noodle salad recently which was quite tasty. I enjoyed the subtle complexity of the dish. It definitely benefited from the hot oil to round out the bright flavors. The noodles were slightly warm with the perfect chew which was lovely on a cold evening.

Was in town on a day trip to Portland and was craving some Burmese food. I found this food truck listing on Google and I'm so glad I did. The prices are very reasonable for a generous serving of food. My go to dish, the fermented tea leaf salad did not disappoint. It was bright, acidic, and vibrant and with a nice crunch from the peanuts and sunflower seeds. The dish paired well with piping hot and crispy vegan samosas with sweet chili sauce. The service was great. Definitely a new favorite!

Chickpea tofu salad
Emma S.

So delish! I highly recommend the chickpea tofu salad. The service was a little slow, but other than that it was great!

13. Shan Noodle Salad
Ohkkkaaayyy K.

Burmese Delight was a delight to say the least. I had the Shan Noodle Salad and it was full of flavor. The service was amazing and the beautiful young lady that helped me went above and beyond for my order. I wanted an extra kick and she did not disappoint. The place itself was super chill and full of variety. Come and try Burmese Delight for this amazing dish.

WOW Hawthorne Asylum was so so busy on a Sunday afternoon at 3!! I decided on Burmese Delight to try some unique Burmese food. I got the Shan Noodle Salad. The noodles were delicious! A sorta pad Thai-y tasting rice noodle dish with lots of veggies in it. It was sweet and sour and so so satisfying. The portion was very sizable for $10! I also got the Samusar/samosa side which is fried with curry/potatoes inside ($6 for 4) - very tasty and great value. Would highly recommend if you're at the Hawthorne Asylum food trucks! Great value for taste!

5. Beef & Potato Curry with JASMINE Rice
Serena S.

When I ordered the beef and potato curry I was worried since the chunks are so big I wouldn't be able to eat it without looking like an animal. But the meat fell apart and was SO GOOD. Super quick and the lady was super nice. I can't recommend enough

Beef & Potato Curry with Paratha
Brandy K.

This was my first time trying Burmese food and I thought it was excellent. I had the beef curry with the paratha. It was so good that we came back the next day and had it again! The paratha is so yummy I'm still thinking about it

It seemed promising when we arrived because the space is very cute and clean, with lots of greenery. The umbrellas and piano make the space look unique and enticing. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. We ordered the non-fried spring rolls as a starter. They were not good and I regretted my choice. They were wrapped sloppily and seemed to lack filling. It reminded me of a moist sock sliding off of a foot. The veggie filling had a nice flavor, but the damp draping roll wrap grossed me out. I wished I could just toss them in a deep fryer. We decided to share the coconut curry noodles with tofu, and the okra dish, and we both added one samosa on the side. The curry noodles were shockingly bland. I did not taste curry at all, only coconut. Not a speck of curry flavor. It was weird, because the noodles were yellow...my brain kept expecting flavor that never came. It screamed for salt, and there was none on the table. It also left a bland, chalky coating on your tongue. The tofu in the dish was not good. The pieces were cut all different sizes and it had a musty bitter flavor that I was not expecting. I couldn't even eat it. I was also surprised that the dish lacked vegetables...it was garnished with raw red onion, cilantro, and some horrible dry store-bought brand crunchy noodles. I was shocked by how much I hated that dish. The okra dish was a little better (it actually had some flavor) but it was very one-note and I would not call it good. The main flavor I got was smoked paprika, which was kinda nice but overpowering, as it tasted raw and needed to be cooked through more. The tiny potatoes were raw which was really not cool. There's not much I hate more than undercooked potatoes. The eggplant was also undercooked and spongy. The okra was ok. Even the rice was not good. It was mushy and came in a pathetically tiny portion served in a small cup that was barely half full. The samosas were probably the worst thing we had. I wouldn't even call it a samosa. It was a tiny greasy triangle of mostly dough. There was a single pea and a tiny smear of overly-salty potato filling. I was shocked at how bad they were. My wife didn't even finish hers even though it was tiny. It was that bad. Worse than the food was the stupid robot waiter. We had to push a gross (obviously smeared and dirty) button to make the robot go away after bringing our food. And we could tell that the waitress was also annoyed by it, as she had to walk it through the restaurant like it was a toddler taking its first steps. So dumb. This was the worst and most expensive lunch I have had EVER. It is rare that I try a new place and don't like anything I try. It was kind of shocking, actually. I will never be back.

The atmosphere is incredible - they've nailed that moody, low-lit lounge vibe without feeling pretentious. The food was equally impressive. The giant single dumpling wasn't my favorite dish of the night, but everything else more than made up for it. The pork ribs were outstanding - tender enough to fall right off the bone, with a sweeter flavor profile that worked really well. The noodles ended up being our favorite dish. They had just the right amount of spice with tons of flavor. Service was quick, no line and you order up the counter and they will bring your food out. They offer indoor seating and outdoor seating. The patio setup is especially great and feels like the perfect spot to spend a summer evening with friends. Overall, a fantastic addition to Mississippi Street.

Lots of menu options to choose from. Excellent service. They even gave one if those robot cat delivery vehicles to bring the food out to you. I felt well taken care of. The food itself was delicious with just enough spice to make it delicious but not overwhelming. If I had any criticism it would be the chai. It is complimentary but it's just too sweet. Not sure if they are adding sugar or using condensed milk? I'm glad I didn't pay extra for it. Burmese food has a lot of similarities to Indian food. We did get a side of paratha which was 4 triangular pieces and I thought it was a bit expensive at $8 for it. I would, in the future either go with just the rice or the paratha but not both. Parking is a bit different in this area of town. It's all street parking but with so many different restaurants in the area, you might have to park a few blocks away and walk. They have just as cute outdoor seating area too. I would come here again for sure.

A Flavorful Escape in Hillsboro! If you haven't made the…read moretrip to Top Burmese Ambassador on Main Street, you are missing out on one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences in the Portland area. While the original NW 21st location is a classic, the "Ambassador" location in Hillsboro feels like a true elevation of the brand, combining incredible hospitality with a menu that is a masterclass in Burmese flavors. Here is why this spot is an absolute 5-star gem: The Tea Leaf Salad (Laphet Thoke): You cannot visit a Top Burmese location without ordering this. It is the gold standard--fermented tea leaves mixed with crunchy peanuts, toasted sesame, fried garlic, and fresh lime. It's a texture and flavor explosion that is unlike anything else in Southeast Asian cuisine. The Golden Samosas: These are a "super duper" must-order. They are flaky, perfectly spiced, and served with a house-made sauce that provides the perfect tangy kick. If you want something even more comforting, their Samosa Soup is the ultimate rainy-day cure. Standout Mains: The Coconut Noodle Soup (Khao Soi) is incredibly rich and aromatic, with just the right amount of creaminess. For a more savory, hearty option, the Beef Curry with Pan-Toasted Paratha is spectacular--the beef is fork-tender and the paratha is buttery and crisp. The Service: The "Ambassador" name is fitting because the staff truly acts as ambassadors for their culture. They are incredibly patient in explaining the menu to newcomers and make excellent recommendations based on your spice tolerance. Atmosphere: The interior is beautifully designed--vibrant, warm, and upscale without being stuffy. It feels like a "mini-vacation" right in the heart of Hillsboro. Pro Tip: This location is incredibly vegan-friendly (about 70% of the menu can be made plant-based!), so it's the perfect spot for a group with diverse dietary needs. Don't leave without trying the Burma Blue cocktail--it's as beautiful as it is delicious!

We ordered the green tea leaf salad, the turmeric fries, the chicken curry with paratha, the all-star okra curry, the coconut noodle soup, and the kheema paratha. I also tried the grass jelly drink. I can't choose my top favorite among everything that we tried. The green tea salad was very unique and I would never have ordered it myself. Now, I'm a fan. The turmeric fries were so delicious too! The chicken curry with the paratha was very Desi and excellent tasting. The okra had a homemade feel to it. I would've liked a side of paratha with it, rather than rice. The kheema paratha was excellent. The coconut noodle soup was like a nice warming/satisfying coconut curry with noodles. The grass jelly was interesting and I know that most of the jelly was left in the can, so while it is nice tasting, I wouldn't recommend drinking it in a can. The Hillsboro location is a little small but this restaurant and the server helping out are both an absolute delight and I highly recommend coming here!!
