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.

My fiancée and I had a lovely dinner here, and it was a nice date spot. The food was great (we got a tea leaf salad and the mango chicken), but the surprisingly nice aspect of dinner was the service. Our waiter was very attentive, and seemed to appear exactly when we needed him. He checked on us frequently, and brought out food just as soon as we finished the last dish— it was pretty impressive. Overall we had a nice time and I’d go back next time we’re in palo alto!

Some places just become part of your life. Rangoon Ruby is one of those for me. I have been coming here for over ten years, and somewhere along the way I fell in love with Burmese food through this kitchen. What I love most is how the flavors quietly carry influences from so many regions. You can taste hints of Chinese techniques, Indian spices, and Thai-style brightness, all woven together into something that feels completely its own. It is not fusion for the sake of it. It is Burmese cuisine standing confidently on its own. I always end up getting a little tour of flavors when I eat here.

Good but average food options for all fellow vegetarians out there. Great dessert!
