Rangoon Ruby Burmese Cuisine - Palo Alto (CA)

5 /5 LiLo: Tea leaf salad is a must. Good service, ambience and food. Definitely will be coming back with extra room for dessert. One thing to note is that mains were a little salty and maybe the sesame chicken was a little too sweet, but definitely still tasty. Liked the coconut rice!

3 /5 Sameet Sapra: This must have been an off day as I went during Thanksgiving, but everything fell just a little short. The tea leaf salad needed more of the fermented tea leaf, the mixing process didn’t feel very special. We liked the lamb curry and coconut rice, but the curry didn’t feel very emulsified, it didn’t have the right consistency. The garlic noodles also were a letdown, the chicken chewy and just lackluster flavors. I expected it to be more oily and way more garlicky, instead it was dry. The house made chili sauce was very spicy, so you’ve been warned. The paratha was excellent and rich and savory with the coconut chicken, probably my favorite dish of them all. I thought the prices were very reasonable.
