Top Burmese

Cute little date night Burmese spot.
I honestly only came for the tea leaf salad, as I had it one 15yrs ago at a restaurant in Philly.
This tasted as good as the one I don't remember! Due to her dietary restrictions, I couldn't get the super fancy special tea salad, but the basic was really good.
Service was also good at letting us know if anything conflicted with her allergies.
My Pegu club was sublime.

Owner response

We had never eaten Burmese food before but decided to give it a try since our hotel was nearby - and we left mindblown.
Their tea leaf salad is out of this world - if you like spicy.
The chickpea/tofu fritters and samosas were also really good.
In general, for vegans this is a perfect spot.
Serving sizes are big and generous - we weren‘t able to finish everything (we ordered one starter, one salad and two entrees).
Too bad we live far from Portland, otherwise you could consider us regulars from now on :)

We were there once before today a couple of weeks back and had a really nice meal.
Today, however, the food was not good and very over-priced for what we received.
Also, two of the dishes were not as described on the menu! One of the dishes was a combination starter that was described as having samosas and tofu tots and what we received, for $34 which is such a rip off was basically a platter of miniature puff pastries with only 3 of them with any filling.
They are all tiny pieces to boot.
1/2 cup of French fries was also on the plate with 3 small containers of sauces two of which resembled hot sauce.
How can they charge $34 for this? I didn't even realize the cost until my family member showed me the receipt as we were walking to the car - that's when I decided to review because we felt very ripped off.
I actually called the restaurant afterward because I thought there had been a mistake on the $34 charge for the platter and the woman who I spoke to said she was a server and not in control of pricing and if I had a concern I would need to email top Burmese “support,” which I did and haven’t heard one word back.
The woman said “they’re air fried!”Okay…Anyway, we’re feeding the remainder of the mini empty all carb puff pastry platter to the birds.
I’ve ordered samosa platters at other restaurants for $9-$11 and actually received delightful, substantial and delicious starters.
They should be ashamed serving this and charging such an outlandish price.
Probably the biggest rip off I’ve ever experienced in my long history of restaurant dining all over the planet.
For my entree, I ordered a curry chicken noodle which had absolutely no chicken in it.
My family member had an eggplant dish with coconut rice, she usually loves anything with eggplant and she said it was 'tasteless and bland.' The only thing that was decent this time was the tea leaf salad, although that tasted bitter and I would not recommend it.
Another disappointment was getting their dessert cake to go, they did not include the whip cream and the serving size was literally half what I received on my last visit.
A very disappointing experience.
Unfortunately, we will not be returning.
This restaurant lacks quality control and over-charges.
I am thoroughly disappointed.
