Delicious food and excellent service. The mohinga soup and green tea salad were both unique and memorable in the best sense and the Shan chicken was tasty and filling. Warm and personal service was the cherry on top. Looking forward to our next visit.
It was my first time trying Burmese food and I went with a friend. We were mind blown by the service and the food. It was so good and rich. A lot of coconut flavour. My noodle dish was mouthwatering. We love the coconut soup and the spring rolls were decent. My friend got the eggplant curry dish and it was the best out both chef specials! The host and chef puts a lot of thought into the health of her customers. Prices are average but the food is amazing. Will definitely be back for more with more humans!
We went here last night and had a great time! I highly recommend the Green Tea Leaf Salad, the Beef & Fresh Basil Stir Fry, and the Chicken. I would definitely return to try other things on the menu, they have spicy and not-spicy options. The owner was very nice, visited our table, and we talked a lot about Burma/Myanmar. You cannot go wrong here!
I picked up a green tea salad and the Chicken (shan khaukswel). Not only was it so delicious, the portions are so generous. I have more than half of the chicken dish left, and am sooo looking forward to having it tomorrow for lunch! This restaurant is so authentic and the owner is so sweet and invested in the food.
I went with one other person. We had all the “chef’s recommendation” items on the menu: Burmese spring rolls, green tea leaf salad, eggplant, and chicken with noodles and peanut bits. All were delicious, with contrasting and exciting flavours and textures, and the best chili-sesame condiment ever on the chicken. Oh, and the green tea leaf salad is really just the best ever version of a Caesar salad, tangy and crunchy and tasty. The owner/chef is also lovely. I’ve been here a few times now and will be coming back!
This restaurant is so unique that I must recommend it to anyone interested in Burmese food, or if you're simply interested in unique, flavourful cuisine. The couple that runs the place is so friendly as well, and the menu is reasonably priced. Not sure if the wine pairings fit, but please do yourself a favour and have a meal at Rangoon.
Delicious and great smelling food! Fair prices too. The green papaya salad was peanutty goodness and the coconut noodle soup had tender chicken and a beautiful coconut flavour. I want to come back to try more!
We went last night. We had the green tea leaf salad (mmm so crunchy and tasty), the coconut chicken (so soft) and the eggplant. All good choices. We were very happy with everything. I don't think I've ever been to a Burmese restaurant before here, but if they are all like Rangoon, I'll definitely be going more often!
