    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

Experience: I visited Top Burmese for dinner with a friend and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. This was both of our first times. I am vegan while my friend is not and we had no struggle finding options that suited our needs. What stood out: Service: The staff was knowledgable and checked in on us frequently. Our food only took about 20 minutes to come out despite a busy dinner rush and we were offered chili flakes to spice up our curries. was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Food: For the table, we ordered the samosas which were perfectly flaky and filled with fresh veggies. I ordered the ruby garden non alcoholic beverage as well as the tofu curry with coconut rice. Every bite and drink of what I ordered tasted unique and made with intention. The samosas were incredible dipped into what tasted like a sweet and sour chili sauce. My tofu curry and coconut rice had a delightful blend of textures and tasted like no other curry I have ever had before. Ambiance: The atmosphere is so cozy with Burmese decor alongside dim lighting. It is perfect for a date night or catching up with a friend. Overall, I will be returning to Top Burmese to enjoy more of their vegan friendly curries and appetizers!

Modern, clean, cool crowd, and somehow I still walked in carrying a cooler like I was headed to a construction site. I ordered the KPS dumpling and the Lafayette salad because I had read some review complaining the salad got soggy and the portions were too big. Folks, if your salad gets soggy because you poured all the dressing on it and let it sit there like a science experiment, that is between you and God. That dumpling showed up hot and smelling so good I forgot my own name for a minute. I looked at it and thought, that ain't gonna fill me up. Ten minutes later I was sitting there defeated, full, and emotionally attached to a noodle. The best move I made was eating the dumpling first and taking the salad home. Boom. Two meals. Problem solved. Einstein level strategy. Great service, fair prices, no wait, and honestly way better than I expected. Whoever gave this place four stars must've been having a personal crisis. Easy 5 Stars.

The garlic noodles were a tad too salty, but otherwise tasty. The chickpea tofu curry was also fantastic, coming with a tomato-y sauce -- the tofu was firm and had wonderful texture. Service was a bit slow but friendly. Price level is pretty high compared to other Burmese spots in town. But the quality is there. Recommended.

I thought the tea leaf salad was alright although the fish sauce component was strong and I couldn't have too much as a result. The mushroom noodles were tasty, but a bit on the salty side. My friend and I both enjoyed the fried chicken and coconut rice dish, which had a nice flavor and texture and was the highlight of our meal. I also got a palm soda, which was refreshing, while my friend had an iced Burmese tea, which she described as a mix of milk tea and thai tea. It had a nice fragrance & wasn't overly sweet. The main downside is we opted to sit outdoors and got a few bug bites, so that is something to keep in mind (depending on the time of the day or season). Portions were good and we had trouble finishing our dishes. Pricing for our food and drinks seemed reasonable. Overall, Rangoon Bistro seems like a pretty good spot for Burmese fried chicken and noodles.

My only complaint is that the price to the portioning didn't leave me feeling as satisfied as I was expecting. I feel like the portioning could've been a bit more given the price point of things and with that, I left feeling hungry. I don't think I've ever spent that much for chicken wings and just know that when they say small plates, they really mean it. Overall, a good experience and would recommend trying if you've never had Burmese food before.

Overall, I'd come here again to eat and try other items as well. I'll give it a 5 star for now but more 4.5.

    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!

    4.5 stars!! This restaurant is a gem. This was my first experience with Burmese food and I must say…read morethat they did a very good job of showing their cuisine off. 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!!
