    The best soup in Hillsboro Oregon homestyle cooking at its best
    Zara P.

    Best authentic Taiwanese food everything is homestyle made from scratch never oily. This hidden gem is definitely a find. They cook it only when u order with a real oven. Not restaurant style PRO food is amazing CON Cash only so bring them greens & hidden in the back is Video Lottery.

    The restaurant does not serve Chinese food or beef noodles anymore. You need to update your information.

    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!!

Seafood pancake $20. TBH, it's more like squid pancake as that's the only seafood haha however when eating it fresh it was delicious and the batter was light. There was a good amount of green onions too which I love. Since my mom can't do spicy compared with me she provided soy sauce but I also got their spicy sauce it was fine (with a tiny dip). 2. Steamed dumplings (around $15) were good as it was piping hot and it was packed full of meat. TBH, all the foods we had didn't really need the additional sauce as both of the appetizers were flavorful enough!

Lady server was stingy (could…read morenot try other ppl's drinks, no banchan refills for 5 ppl, had exactly 5 pieces of potatoes) and did not check up on us throughout the meal, she was too busy on the phone. This would be ok in another situation, but we were changed a 20% gratuity for party of 5+. It also took long for the food to come out even though restaurant was pretty empty. Food was pretty good but did not like the Deulkkae Gamjatang (perilla leaf and pork neck bone soup), it was difficult to get any pork off the bone and it tasted like beans and flaxseed ( somewhat gritty) and was not smooth like regular soup. However other dishes were pretty good and large enough so that all 5 of us could share 3 dishes. Would come back but only to try other dishes and with a smaller party.

They have so many events throughout the month, including Monday line dancing once a month, Tuesday night trivia, Thursday night board games and puzzles and Fri/Sat live music. The downtown station is a go to spot for me, not just for the food options but for the variety of events. They are kid friendly, with their play zone and kid shows on one of the TVs.

The indoor seating area is also super spacious, so it's easy to find a spot. There's always been live music playing whenever we've visited, which adds so much charm to the experience - though it can get a tad bit loud, making it a little tough to hear the person sitting right across from you. While we've enjoyed almost all the food we've tried here, I have to give a massive shoutout to the Pinch Spice truck. They have some of the absolute best Indian food I've tasted around here. I find myself constantly coming back just for that single truck! 10/10 recommend One downer has been that at least a quarter food trucks are closed any time we have visited. Hope they start keeping more consistent timings.

First thought was, not very impressed and hope this place is not a dud. We visited on a Sunday which didn't have much customers. Only one waitress working. She was very attentive and memorized our order without writing it down. Very friendly and answered all our questions. Our order took quite a while to come out and was getting a bit worried... but to be fair, we did order quite a bit (we were hangry). AND THEN IT HAPPENED...Our food arrived sizziling hot. It was fresh and smelled amazing!! Everything came all at once except the Pork Belly. Never had purple rice before so this was an awesome experience. Banchan was great. The Hubby was sold on the Grilled Mackerel and ate the whole thing by himself. He normally doesn't like japchae (my favorite) but he actually really liked it and ate half of it. Our most favorite was the Kalbi you can tell it was marinated and they cooked it to perfection. The pork belly was good but the Kalbi stole the show. Service 10/10 Food 20/10 This is now dubbed, our new Korean go to spot. The wait was worth it!! We enjoyed the food and will definitely be back soon!!

The sushi was made very quickly, it arrived sooner than I expected which is always good. Looks like the restaurant is responsive in a timely manner to their online orders which is always a great surprise. The presentation was great, I was given multiple packets of soy sauce, two containers of wasabi and two slightly larger containers of ginger. Their wasabi has a good kick to it. The spicy tuna roll was simple, delicious, and exactly as expected. The ninja roll was okay, it felt like some rolls were packed and others it was just the tempura shrimp and rice. The salmon on top was also hit or miss, there was either a good portion or you'd get a thinner slice that was covered up with extra sauce on top (look at the picture). The Texas roll was so delicious, I just wish it was smaller. I can't eat the roll in one bite and so it breaks apart and everything falls out. If you've never tried a deep fried roll though... Try this one, super good! I'll update the review if/when I go eat at the restaurant!
