Portland’s Best Special Occasion Restaurants for Vegans and Vegetarians | Eater Portland
"Outfitted with leafy plants and paper umbrellas, Northwest 21st Avenue’s Top Burmese is an exploration into the Indian culinary influences of Myanmar. Vegan offerings include crispy triangle-shaped samosas served with sweet-and-spicy chili sauce, lightly funky fermented tea leaf salads, and turmeric-laden chickpea tofu curry with aromatic coconut rice. If you’re not able to get a table at Top Burmese, Kalvin and Poe Myint also operate Burma Joy, focusing more on Chinese dishes of Myanmar like kyay oh rice noodles, located a 10-minute walk away. Those who live in Beaverton can visit sister restaurant Bistro Royale. The vibrant cuisine and beautifully decorated dining rooms are memorable, but another highlight of visiting a Top Burmese restaurant is its fleet of robot servers ready to whisk bowls of khao soi to tables." - Waz Wu
