Thai-like dishes with an edge from a large menu. Great food and lively fun atmosphere. Went for a large group business dinner. Would visit gain. Order via your phone or through a server if you're mobile-free. Beware the tall water bottles scattered across the tables....They're $8 each when you open one.More

This was at least our 5th visit to this restaurant and it never disappoints. Was really fun introducing others to fantastic Burmese cuisine. So many great things to recommend, but of course the tea leaf salad to start and the paratha bread (get the chicken...sauce). My absolute favorite entree is the lemongrass chicken with the coconut rice. Simply divine.More

The best part of the meal was the salad made right at the table. Unfortunately, I don't eat onion, and in other dishes it makes up at least half of everything. My impression is that Burma cuisine does not come close to Thai, let alone...Indian. It may be my personal taste.More

I have only good things to say about my dinning experience at Burma Ruby. It was easy to reserve a table online, I was quickly seated by the cordial host to be followed by great service and yummy food. As expected most dishes come in...4 levels of spiciness (is this a word?) - I went for Spicy. The fried tofu was wonderful - crispy on the outside and silky fresh smooth on the inside. The beaf curry was great and the coconut rice complement is perfectly warm, sticky, and full of flavor. Add to this a nice glass of beer - who needs more. I highly recommend !More

This was our first time in Burma Ruby and we would definitely come back to eat here again. The quality of entries was excellent, everything was well prepared. We had the veggie samosas (savory and freshly made), the beef curry (flavorful and soft) and the...beef kebat (excellent portions and made to order). We went for the coconut pudding with mango ice-cream. This desert exceeded expectations and has the WOW factor with a high-end ice-cream texture and flavor.More

Not to miss the Tea Leaf salad (vegetarian option available) and the mango seafood (shrimp or savai). The staff are polite, although the usher was rude. But overall ambiance is nice and close to parking place.More

My husband and I tried this restaurant recently. We love all kinds of food - Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc. If this is a good representative of Burmese food, then I guess I’m not a fan. I love curry food, so I tried the curry...tofu and vegetables. It did not taste anything like I expected it to. When I asked for a side of rice, the waiter said the Burmese rice was a white rice. He neglected to say it had a lot seasonings. Too many competing seasonings for me.More
