Top Burmese Burma Joy

We had our post vday lunch date here and we like the vibe of the place! It’s a mixed of classic & modern vibes. The place is quite cozy. The food is good to our liking. First time to eat a tea leaf dumpling and really like the taste of it plus the sauce is good and spicy! The Mango chicken curry is not the typical curry I always eat, the curry taste is light and goes really well with the mango. The noodle soup is perfect for the cold weather, we had it with the meatballs that is so soft in texture and quite melts in your mouth. Overall, it was great date, not too crowded that time too!

We had Samosa, Tofu tots, Khao Soi, and Nan Gyi Noodle. Service was great, but food is extremely salty, I let the server know how salty the chicken is., hope she passed along and fix the seasonings ASAP. The tofu, you guys can make it better, the food is so cold, it should be hot and crunchy. I’m not sure if the cook change, I always come to this Burmese restaurant whenever I came to Portland. I’m very disappointed this time, have to rethink if I should come back or not. Very bad taste, not worth paying $85 at all.

Our first time trying Burmese cuisine and I have to say that our lunch was quite good. The restaurant is pretty impressive inside, the bar area is all bright colors and the area has a peaceful tone. I ordered the Garlic Noodles, thin wheat noodles topped with green onion and fried garlic with my choice of adding tofu. Served with a vegetable broth for dipping and a Sriracha sauce the dish was very good. The garlic flavor was not too strong, the overall dish was mild. I enjoyed the bowl of Garlic Noodles. My partner ordered the Golden Hill Noodles with wheat noodles in coconut curry sauce, he added tofu as his protein. The sauce was full of flavor and amazing. Overall, great service and great food. They do have a robot that brings the food out of the kitchen to your table, fun to watch.

Stepping into this Burmese restaurant was like entering a flavor paradise. From the first sip of the samosa soup, a fragrant and tangy broth brimming with lentil-stuffed samosas, I knew I was in for a treat. The menu was a vegetarian's dream, with a plethora of options that went far beyond the usual afterthought veggie dishes. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Ohno Khauk Swe, a creamy coconut noodle soup that was both comforting and complex. The silky noodles were perfectly coated in the rich broth, and the toppings added a delightful crunch and burst of flavor. But it wasn't just the noodles that impressed; every dish was a testament to the chef's skill in balancing flavors and textures. The service was as exceptional as the food. The staff was attentive, friendly, and eager to guide us through the menu. They were knowledgeable about the dishes and happy to offer recommendations. The drinks were equally impressive, each one a refreshing complement to the meal. From the tangy tamarind juice to the fragrant Burmese milk tea, every sip was a delight. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the passion that shines through in every aspect. The food is made with love, the service is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is vibrant and inviting. It's a place where you can truly relax and savor the moment, knowing that you're in for a culinary adventure. If you're looking for an authentic Burmese dining experience with an abundance of vegetarian options and top-notch service, this is the place to be. It's a culinary gem that will leave you wanting more.

The flavors were amazing, the service was prompt and polite, they have a robot food runner. We had the tofu tots, tea leaf salad, khao soi and lamb butter rice. Plus a delicious shrub and a fancy coconut drink served in a fish.

Wow! First time eating Burmese food and I’m in love! I had the Tea Leaf Salad and a Samosa. Both were excellent! I asked the staff to help me out with ordering and this is what they suggested - definitely did not disappoint! Thanks y’all!

Very cute restaurant in a nice location. The interior is very pretty, which created a great dining experience. Food is very delicious as well. We ordered the platter, and the tofu tots were soooo yummy. The beef stew was our favorite dish. The beef was very soft and juicy, cooked perfectly. The signature noodles taste like very traditional homemade food, giving you a very warm and relaxing feeling. Highly recommended taking a reservation if you want a table seat. Overall, we had a great experience there, and we will definitely visit again.

Great place! Perfect service. Great atmosphere. And AMAZING food. Everyone in our group was impressed! In our top rotation for our next visit to Portland. The curries all tasted amazing. The starters impressed!

Visiting Portland and ordered takeout. Everything was very good. We had the tea leaf salad, mango chicken, and coconut beef curry. Husband's first time having Burmese food and he loved it. Edited to add: super appreciated that gluten free was marked on the menu!

I've never had Burmese, but would describe as a mix of Thai & Indian flavors. Been a few times to try some different dishes. The Papawadi Beef Coconut Curry & Mango Chicken were just ok. A bit bland, not enough flavor for me, same w/ the jackfruit curry. However, I really liked the Kyay Oh, which I would describe as sort of like pho but w/ more tasty veggies like lotus root, wood ear mushrooms and another delicious type of mushroom (the long stringy ones). You can get it w/ meatballs and it is served w/ a little hot sauce that was quite spicy, great to dip the meatballs or veggies in. They also had some tea leaf salads that looked pretty interesting & athoke which I don't even know what that is so might have to come back to try those. Only reason for not 5 stars is food is a bit slow to arrive even when slow and they used to have a lunch menu w/ some of the items discounted but guess they got rid of that. Inside is pretty nice & classy & they have a few covered outdoor tables as well.

This was a let down.I was really looking forward to a different cuisine than my usual Chinese/Indian /Korean cuisine Food: 2 stars Service: 3 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Everything was salty. We couldn't even eat quarter of food and decided to pack and eat later. We never got to it. Hoping ours was a one-off case. That said I will probably not be venturing here that often.

This was my first time trying Burmese food. The server was extremely friendly and helpful. We tried the mango chicken curry, the mango salad and the Shan noodles. The noodles were my favorite dish with chicken curry mixed with herbs and onions. I did notice that they use raw onions on a lot of dishes and it was a bit potent for me. All of the dishes were flavorful but I would like a little bit of spice to kick it up a notch. I have nothing else to compare it to since it's my first time having Burmese food but overall it was good food!

This place is definitely understaffed. Service is friendly, but slow. We got the chicken khao soi, the tofu garlic noodles, and the Papawadi coconut beef stew. Everything was too salty, and nothing came out hot. Everything was lukewarm. The garlic noodles are a hard pass. The beef stew was flavorful but the beef itself was extremely dry and bland. Would not recommend

This was my first time ever trying Burmese food and I am obsessed!!! I'm pescatarian so I loved all the chickpea/vegetarian options. I was absolutely obsessed with the green tea salad. And then the coconut curry noodles were also so delicious. I recommend trying everything and just bringing home leftovers. It was all so good and I just wish there was one in San Diego!

Food was sooo good! Tried the vegetarian Khao Soi- Coconut Noodle Soup with Tofu. Perfect on a chilly day! Friendly service, huge portions, and very cute decor. I'll definitely be back when I'm back in this area of Portland.

Seems that lately Burmese food has been on my mind!! My husband and I had a date to go see a movie and he decided we should try the Portland location of Top Burmese, with a slightly different menu than our Downtown Beaverton spot, and a lot of similar dishes. I wasn't crazy about the decor, it made it feel smaller and darker inside but the food delivers just like the other location. We tried the "yellow tofu tots" as an appetizer and WOW. I seriously feel sad that Beaverton doesn't have these on the menu. They were SO good. Lightly fried, very airy and light in both texture and flavor. Very good. I had the Garlic Noodles and yes. Delicious. Bit also, BEWARE if you are just OKAY about garlic. I eat cloves raw. I LOVE garlic. If it says 4 cloves, I'll likely use 12. If it says 1 I'll use 5. This is HEAVY in garlic. Good for your immune system!! My husband got the Kyay Oh noodles. And he loved that dish too. I got a Dragon fruit Whiskey Sour and it was tremendous. Absolutely perfect in flavor and JUST right for sipping. What has lacked across the board for me at Top Burmese both here and Beaverton has been service. It's like the focus is SO on the robot that the humans don't try to interact with you as much. Yes you CAN scan the QR on your table and order more but it feels colder than someone just checking on me. Part of what made this particular Portland brand so special was the "home" feeling that you're welcomed into someone's home to enjoy home cooking. It's evaporated since COVID.

Garlic noodles here were great! Service is quick and excellent. Music is very chill, not too loud and not too quiet.

We ordered the golden noodles and asked for rice noodles instead of wheat noodles without issue. Dish was delicious and filling. Menu was well marked for gluten free and vegan options. Service was friendly and quick

Second time here. I debated trying something new to branch out but the garlic noodles have too much power over me. I have no regrets.

Everything was fantastic. We were able to walk in on a busy Friday without a reservation and got a table. The food was fantastic!!!Absolutely get the mango salad, and if you eat beef their signature beef coconut curry. If you drink definitely get the Ngapali Day off. It is refreshing, well balanced and just down right tasty!

We were the only 2nd table around 1:30pm and were seated curbside. For about 15 minutes the waitress and she was the only one managing. I had to go inside to order beer. It took another 10 minutes and finally we got the beer. The food we only ordered the mix samosa which also took long time. And for an hour and half ok samosas and very bad service we got a bill and it included a 20% tip. Sorry I'm not going back.

Salad was bland AF. Noodles bland. Idk how they got the stars they have. Honestly. Idk

My friends invited me to this place one evening, and I've never tried Burmese food before, so I was super excited. Walking in, the decor was so beautiful and the ambiance was both romantic and intimate. Staff was super friendly and they have a cute little robot that delivers your dishes to your table. They had so many different options--both vegan and non-vegan--and it all seemed delicious. I ended up getting the jackfruit curry and it was so so delicious. I've never had anything like it before, but it was both light and very VERY flavorful. I would definitely love to come back here to try some other vegan Burmese dishes! :)

It was my first time trying Burmese cuisine and everything we ordered was delicious! There were so many vegan options and our server was so helpful at helping us choose (my favorite was the wheat noodle soup). We went on a Sunday evening and it was steadily busy, but for the majority of our meal we were one of three groups sitting inside. There is also ample seating outdoors with heaters. I will be coming back!

Came here for lunch. Top notch quality. Jackfruit curry was unique, rich and flavorful. Samosas were delicate and a must get every time. Pegu Club of course!

Our group of 4 drove around the block looking for parking on a Thursday night around 7 pm for at least 15 minutes. The restaurant itself is very elegant, with outdoor seating too. We were served by a waiter but the food came on robots. The mango chicken was interesting. I loved the tea leaf chicken, it tasted very homey. The Kyay Oh was new to us. Although filled with all of my favorite Asian veggies, it tasted very plain. A good soup to have if you're sick, I feel. The mango juice also tasted just like what you could get at the store. Overall, good food but I wouldn't come back for it!

Are you sober? health conscious? or do you want to try something that ISN'T Thai because it's overdone. This joint was the perfect end to a busy day working on the ship in the yard. The gloomy weather outside was kept back by the warmth and inviting atmosphere this place offered. The coconut beef curry was like if Your grandmother's goulash was made in Myanmar, hearty, warm, soothing on the palate. I wanted to curl up for a nap after this dinner. The N/A mango drink was creamy, smooth and the tajin salt garnish? *chefs kiss* perfect

I was excited to try this place out after seeing the stellar reviews and getting recommended by friends who were locals. However, coming from SF, I've had exceptional Burmese food (Burma Superstar, B Star, Burma Love, etc). So this spot just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Most of the items here were bland and lacked the complexity and spices that you would find at an authentic Burmese restaurant. The green tea leaf salad here was actually really flavorful and was one of the best tea leaf salads I've ever had. However, everything else I tried was sadly disappointing. The garlic noodles were very overcooked and lacked flavor, the sauce in the punn they noodles didn't tasted good, the beef curry was bland and beef was hard to chew, and the samosas weren't memorable either.

This was my first time trying Burmese food, and it was a very wonderful experience! The interior was absolutely stunning with lovely plants, decorations, and lighting. The staff was also very nice, we enjoyed the service. Now for the best part, the food! We got the Burmese Gold Samosas, Green Tea Leaf Salad, Papawadi Coconut Beef Curry, and Vegetarian Kyay Oh. I would highly recommend the first 3 items, they were delicious. The samosas are spiced super well and have a yummy sauce to dip them in, definitely the best samosas I've had. The salad is very unique, it has a strong earthy, garlicky flavor and lots of nuts. I've never had a salad like it before, it was so good. The beef curry was also incredible, so savory and deep in flavor. The Kyay Oh was my least favorite item of the bunch. Though it has a nice heat, overall it is a bit plain for my liking. Additionally, the beef in our curry was a bit tough. However, these are all preferences and might be different per person! Overall, I would definitely come back and recommend for everyone to try in Portland! With unique, spicy flavors and a lovely ambience, this place doesn't disappoint!

So I've been to the Beaverton location and now this one, and both were consistently good! The Khao Soi with tofu was excellent, with the perfect amount of flavor. Loved the different toppings with the bowl and they added a decent amount of protein as well. Not spicy at all, yet carried a unique authentic taste to it. The Yellow Tofu tots were something new and we loved it as well. It had a great mix of crispness, taste and spices and the chili sauce went well with it. It's almost like a savory mini fritters but better and definitely different as well. Service was standard and layout was great. Good amount of other vegan and vegetarian options. On the pricier side for sure but it's still worth the visit!

This was the best meal i had in Portland! Felt like a great home cooked meal. The Yangon Mango Salad with the Papawadi Coconut Beef Curry was a pair! I loved the robot and the drinks. I got a mock-tail by accident but it was delightful. And the cocktails are also great! Highly, highly recommend!

Okayyy Top Burmese!! Got this rec from a local at the Japanese Forest, Lavita (who also drove us here!). I got the "khao soi", which was . The soup is very thick, like a fusion between curry and soup noodles, and with a kick of spiciness! I never had Burmese food before but this was definitely hit the spot. Especially after a hard day of conferencing while walking the Japanese Garden! ‍. Definitely recommend! 8/10 The service was interesting. You order via an QR code and a robot delivers to you. No waiter/waitress. Idk how I feel about it yet, but it definitely changed the vibe of the place. I also couldn't ask anybody about some questions I had on their menu. Ambiance was small but cute! Come here! It's honestly really good :)

Visited based on high reviews on Yelp/Google, but left feeling disappointed. Food - Was average at best. Having eaten a wide variety of similar southeast Asian cuisines, the curries that we had seemed lacking in flavor and tasted flat. To be fair, the portions were decently sized, and there was a lot of meat to rice ratio in our entrees. Pricing - Entrees ($22) were expensive for the quality of food we had overall. Service - there was a robot server that brought us our drinks and our food. To order, a waitress came up to us and let us know that whenever we were ready to order, we could order through the QR code on the table, or we could call her back to our table. We ended up ordering through the QR code, and it took a little while for the server to come back to our table. Throughout dinner, we were only checked on once. When it was time to pay, our server came up, and tipping felt odd since it was primarily the robot that we interacted with all evening. Overall, meal was average, but was unfortunately hampered by the price and restaurant service.

The inside of the restaurant transports you to a tropical hideaway with lush greenery and SE Asian relics contrasted with dark teak wood and low table lighting. But don't let it fool you, deep in the jungle there are signs of modern life - robot servers! The food was delicious and full of flavor. There were plenty of plant based options on the menu. I had the golden samosas, the tea leaf salad and the jackfruit curry. The samosas were crisp and light with the perfect amount of spice in the potato. The accompanying dipping sauce provided an excellent counterbalance with the heat and citrus notes. My one slight disappointment was the tea leaf salad. I would have enjoyed it with more fermented tea leafs and less cabbage, but still overall tasty. Would definitely recommend!

Great ambiance and decor. Service was lacking despite a robot delivery. Menu was basic Burmese. Tofu tots were not as plump and moist as we like. All flavors were uninspired, including bland dragonfruit whiskey sour.

One should not overlook the oft overlooked Burmese cuisine - the Kyay oh (for me, akin to a Burmese Pho), the samosas, the meatballs, the incredible and crunchy salads... One of the best Asian restaurants in Portland (where sushi is overrated, pho is great but lodged in the burbs, and Korean is only KBBQ).

I did not know what I was expecting before coming here. I have had my fair share of SE Asian restaurants in Portland, and being one myself I guess I had some bias. They serve pretty much Americanized version of Burmese food. I ordered garlic noodles with chicken. It comes with a side of broth, which is the norm. However, I could not taste anything other than salty. It tasted a little flat, I wish there was more kick to it. Burmese tea is just tea with milk, which is okay. I am not sure if it's worth $4 for a small amount of tea. Anyway, the ambiance and decorations are amazing. They also have a robot waiter like in Asia. The server must have had a bad day something, they could use a little smile when talking to customer. Considering the location of this restaurant, I was expecting a friendlier service. The server does not bring your food to your table, they use automatic tray with wheels. I think this makes up for the food. I also super appreciate the spoon and fork by default! We SE Asians rarely eat rice with chopsticks, so I give a star for this :) only a few other SE Asian restaurants I have been to give spoon and fork.

I paid for terrible food and service so you don't have to. First off, the good: the interior was delightfully decorated, and the cocktails and tea leaf salad were on point. The clever turmeric martini had me hopeful for the meal. The tea leaf salad was likewise a hit, full of flavor and texture. But that's where it ends. The bad: pale yellow mango lassis that tasted primarily of yoghurt with a distant hint of a dim memory of the flavor of mango. Garlic noodles with so much fresh cracked pepper on them the garlic was completely lost. "House special" chicken meatballs that arrived cold and pink inside. And a coconut curry completely devoid of flavor served over hard, dry 1cm nuggets of theoretically-braised beef. All of this compounded by the fact that the restaurant was clearly understaffed for a holiday weekend Friday night during a heat wave. Our waters were filled once at the beginning of the meal, our meals took 40 minutes to arrive, and when it did, it arrived by the novelty robot unaccompanied by a server. I didn't know if we were supposed to take the food off it ourselves, as I had only seen it arrive at a table with a server in tow. The ugly: I personally feel so terrible sending food back that I rarely do it. Tonight I sent back the beef and the garlic noodles. I complained about the mango lassi and the meatballs but didn't feel right sending them back as they were ordered by our kids, who can sometimes be finicky eaters. The server comped us the uneaten garlic noodles, but only comped 1/2 of the price of the Dinty Moore braised beef stew. Which I guess was fair as I had eaten half of it in hopes of finding a silver lining in the brown gravy. But I've never seen a restaurant comp half of a meal. And there was no further effort to remediate our experience, just a wan apology delivered with a weary blank stare. I gather they were just happy to see me and my family leave their establishment. I have to say the feeling was mutual. Giving two stars because there were some great items on the menu and I did dig the interiors but the overall experience was one I will not be repeating even if I find myself starving to death north of Lovejoy someday.

My husband is born and raised in Burma, I've eaten authentic Burmese food with him. I think the most disappointing was the tea leaf salad, it was mostly lettuce, couldn't taste the tea leaf. The beef curry was very good though. I guess we had high expectations.

The food here is amazing! These two photo were from two separate visits- my roommates and I thoroughly enjoyed the first visit, which is why we came back the second time! Both times we got the tea leaf salad (not pictured) and it's a perfect combination of crunchy, fresh, and savory. Also, the mango juice, is super refreshing, so definitely order it! The restaurant interior is decorated super cute with lots of greenery, plants, and themed decor. The service is amazing- our food came out in a timely fashion. 10/10, would definitely recommend!!

If you love Southeastern Asian cuisine such as Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Filipino, Cambodian, or Laotian food. Burmese food should be very close on your radar! I love Burmese food and I wished we had it more readily accessible on the East Coast. I came here on a Monday evening with two friends for dinner. My friends being Portland locals, have been here a few times and left with good impressions. I was pretty excited to try this place out as it's been a while since I had good burmese cuisine. My standards were high since I've only had good experiences with the Burmese restaurants in the Bay area. The service was good, it was surprisingly pretty busy for a Monday night. The shop is also assisted by server robots that roll out your meals to the table. There is also a service bell on the table, should you seek attention from one of the servers. What we ordered: Tea Leaf Salad Kyay Oh Tea Leaf Chicken Curry Golden Hill Noodles Burmese Iced Tea (w/ coconut milk) My review will only be on the Tea Leaf Salad and on the Tea Leaf Chicken Curry as that was what I had. The Tea Leaf Salad is a MUST! I am not a big salad person, but the tea leaf salad is the only exception! It is vegetarian friendly as they use only fermented tea leaves, tomatoes, cabbage, roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, chickpea, and fried garlic. I believe some places incorporate shrimp paste in their salad, but not at this place! The salad here did not disappoint! It was definitely a dish that can easily be shared with 3-4 people. The tea leaf chicken curry was tender and cooked well. The flavor is outstanding and it mixes well with their rice. I would recommend this if you love Southeastern curries! I also had their Burmese Iced Tea. You can get it with milk or dairy free substitute (coconut milk) for those lactose conscious. It's a good subtlety sweet tea that accompanies well with the curry that I had during dinner. I would recommend coming here and would look forward to coming back the next time I'm in town!

Absolutely outstanding restaurant the food is so health consciously prepared and absolutely delicious. The green tea leaf salad is a must an absolute must most dishes are large enough for people to share them. Kevin was the most genuine patient waiter his attention to customer service. It's definitely highly recommended and a must eat at restaurant in Portland. Ask for Kevin is your waiter. He's just amazing.

Always a delight dining here. I've been to other locations but this is the first time I've been to this location. The menu differs slightly from the one in Beaverton, so it was great to try something new. The Green Tea Leaf Salad is one of my favorite salads of all time, it's that good! Plus the robot servers are so fun to interact with. I didn't know this but the Jasmine tea is complimentary, so we got one pot of it. I went ahead and ordered the Punn They Khao Soi, the noodles were well coated in the curry sauce and the flavor was not overpowering.

Service and ambiance are good. However, it is evident that the level of flavor and spice has been adjusted for the typical westerner's palate. Some of the dishes were also too salty for our group.

This was our 1st time here. It's a pretty small place, we came here on a Saturday and didn't have to wait to get a table. We went to this Burmese place with no standard because we have never had Burmese food before. There were a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. We started with the Tofu Tots and the Samosas. For entrees we got the Kyay Oh, the Jackfruit Curry, and the Punn They Noodles- everything was delicious! The dishes aren't overly huge, but appropriately portioned. The restaurant was clean and I really loved all the plants throughout the place. The service was prompt and friendly. I loved that the food and drinks were delivered by a robot. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Atmosphere looked fantastic, but we hadn't made reservations so were seated at a street-side picnic table. Food was disappointing: the tea leaf salad was notably missing the fermented tea leaves, making it a VERY expensive romaine salad. It did have some tasty crunchy bits and a half decent dressing, but it wasn't a traditional Burmese tea leaf salad. My friends split a dish; one liked it enough and the other found it meh. Spring rolls were okay. None of us left feeling inspired to return.

OMG this restaurant is FANTASTIC! The place is pretty small but I have always been able to get a table. Service is great... made better by the robots on staff. Do yourself a favor and get the tealeaf salad. Most things on the menu can be made vegetarian or vegan. I have enjoyed everything I have ordered here and cannot wait to go back!

Never tried Burmese food before, but this was a mix of Thai. It tasted great and I really loved the salad bowl. The curries were unique and tasty too. If you haven't tried this type of food before I highly recommend it in the interior inside, was I placing an enjoyable. They even have a robot serving your table, so be kind to him or her!

Had the mango chicken, was delicious, flavorful, but not spicy, ( I don't like spicy). good atmosphere, quiet and relaxing. Polite staff and loved the robot (nano?) delivered our drinks and our meal, even the robot gave us a smile when we finished getting our food. Had a great lunch and will come again. Sorry was so surprised by the robot and was too busy eating, I forgot to take pictures... next time...

We visited on a busy night between Xmas and new years, and the 2 front of the house staff (who were waiting tables, hosting, AND making the drinks ) were absolutely slammed, but they did their absolute best to get everyone their food and drinks in good order. The food was great, the 'vacation drinks' were the bomb, the staff were busting their butts, and I'd give the place 5 stars except for 2 things: 1. The owners should know better than to be so understaffed during the holiday season and 2. The outdoor heat lamps were almost useless. We had to sit outside despite getting on the advance waitlist, and we were soooo cold. Get stronger ones!

A staple and for a great reason. The khao soi with tofu is my favorite but everything i've had is amazing! The robot servers are also so precious

Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Top Burmese is the all-inclusive SE Asian fusion you didn't know you needed in life. With multiple locations in town, each location features its own specials along with a staple menu available at all places. Located on NW 23rd, this cozy eatery has outdoor and indoor dining (if you sit inside they also use robots to deliver their food!). We ordered the shoo share tea leaf salad, papawdi coconut beef curry, majesty noodle soup, and punn they noodles. The highlights of the meal were the shoo share tea leaf salad and the punn they noodles. The salad was spicy, and the fermented tea may seem a bit off putting at first, but it made the salad so fragrant and added an earthiness that complemented so well with the ingredients. The nuts and seeds elevated the textures all the more. Highly recommend this dish! It's the perfect size for sharing! The beef was tender in the curry; it was spicy, and had a bit of zest from the lime, balancing the flavors. It was just comfort. The majesty noodle soup is the perfect fall soup! The soup was so flavorful and the vermicelli soaked up the soup welll! The wood ear mushrooms and bamboo shoots were a nice texture contrast to the soft noodles. The punn they noodles were so fragrant! The noodles were al dente, and the five spices and curry sauce were a harmonious play that I didn't know could exist. Top Burmese does fusion well and the food speaks for itself. Don't overlook this quaint eatery next time you're in the area!

Food was delicious, ambiance was beautiful, servers were fine, the robot who delivered your food was cute however we did have to grab a server to tell us what one item was. The robot delivers but if you don't know what your items look like, in our case a side sipping broth which we didn't know if it was a dressing or a soup, it has a disconnect. Overall we enjoyed our time, once we figured everything out.

The food was sooo good. We went as a large group and probably tried half the menu and every single dish was amazing. I'll be getting the samosas and the garlic noodles when I go back.

The interior design was immaculate. The menu had many options, but I had to stick to the classic garlic noodles. The portions were big enough to make it into two meals. When I went me and my buddy were the only table and the server was great. Zack was helpful when we had questions with the menu, and extremely friendly (give him a raise). If this restaurant is on your prospective list, it is a solid option.

We liked the food; they were a bit slammed (a lot of places were closed for the 4th, but Top Burmese remained open - yay), so the service was kind of on the slow side, but the staff was kind and apologetic, so no worries there. Favorites: the samosas (totally vegan; light and crispy on the outside, well-balanced spice-veg-filling on the inside) and the mango chicken curry. The beef curry is their signature dish - it's delicious, but not quite as nuanced/tasty as the mango chicken. Garlic noodles were fine, but I would probably not bother ordering them again. Lots of other, more interesting things to tackle on the menu. We'll be back.

This was the second time we dined with this company (we ate at their other location, Top Burmese, just a few days prior, and really enjoyed their food). This location was much larger and a little more upscale than the other, as the interior was more carefully and ornately decorated. It also had a slightly different menu than the first, which we really enjoyed because we were able to try a bunch of new items. We tried their green tea leaf salad, which was a very funky, but delicious salad, with sautéed and seasoned tea leaves, and lots of crunch, coming from pepitas, roasted chickpeas, sesame seeds, fried garlic, and peanuts. It's definitely not your traditional salad, but I really enjoyed its uniqueness, and it was my favorite dish of the night. I would highly recommend trying it! We also tried their yellow chickpea tofu nuggets, which were wonderfully seasoned, with a crisp bite to their outer shell, as well as their Burmese tofu curry with coconut rice, mango chicken curry, and garlic noodles with tofu. All of their dishes were tasty, however, like the other location, all of their food was just WAY too salty. I needed to eat a lot of rice and drink a lot of water to be able to swallow their food, and I think they would have all been even more delicious with much less salt. After a while, it was hard to continue eating the food because it was SO salty. However, despite the food's excessive saltiness, we still had a good experience. The servers were great and the robot server was a cute addition to the restaurant as well. I would recommend Burma Joy because it still is a very nice restaurant, just beware of the salt!
