Reviews for Top Burmese Burma Joy in Portland, OR
Incredible food. Unique and tasty drinks. Excellent service. My friend and I ordered the following dishes and had leftovers:... samosas, shoo share tea leaf salad, Jackfruit curry, and the Kyay oh noodles. For dessert we had the mango ice cream. Myfavorite dish was the tea leaf salad. We ordered the spicy version and it did not disappoint. Lovely flavors and textures. Youmust try it. Everything was great. We probably wouldn't get the jackfruit curry again. It wasn't bad, just didn't stand out likethe other dishes. Our server was very helpful and friendly. The food delivery robot was a wonderful treat. We will be back. Read more
Great restaurant, went there twice on our short stay in Portland. Very friendly service, they have gluten friendly options and... everything for a very good price. The coconut curry, mango curry and beers were excellent. Our kids loved the robot that servedyou too Read more
I’ve never seen a Burmese place before. Loved this quaint little restaurant! Great decor and great service. They seated us... right before closing. Unfortunately there weren’t indoor spots to experience their robot server, but sitting outside was stillnice on a warm day. Tried the jackfruit curry. Great alternative to meaty dishes. The texture is like slow cooked meat, withoutthe grease and the heaviness. It was a tad on the sour side, but I still enjoyed it with a nice pot of jasmine tea. The noodleswere also good. Read more
Whether the enchantment was from the quality of the food or the first sit down restaurant experience in the past two years is... hard to say - perhaps both. The food is excellent and worth the (slightly higher than order up) price. The spring rolls arethe best I've ever had, period. One of owners spoke humbly of the spring roll wrapping, but just as much magic is found within. Very highly recommended for the food robots alone (are they going to tax those things like people, or what?!). What a wonderfulexperience. Read more
not knowing what to expect… lunch started with a super informed wait person and a welcoming host. i had the majesty noodles... and the grass jelly tea. the bowl of noodles had a super rich broth, full of small pieces of chicken, quail eggs, fish balls,and dried press tofu with fresh red onions and veg to balance it out with just enough noodles to make the soup a perfectmeal. the grass jelly was pleasantly sweet and is a cross between a drink and a dessert. it’s a taste from my childhood, andvery worth trying for the uninitiated.

Absolutely Fabulous! My friend and I shared Green Tea Leaf Salad, I had Tea Leaf Jade Rice, and tried my friend's Garlic... Noodles - everything was fresh, totally delicious, and filling. The host and server were warm and friendly, and the Robot - oh,the adorable Robot server! I already have plans to go back next week and introduce this place to another friend of mine. Oh,so grateful to the friend who suggested we try this place! Read more
The restaurant has a lovely tropical-feeling atmosphere! We were warmly greeted! I really enjoyed my dinner! I love the... crunchiness and spiciness of the Shoo Share Salad! For me this dish is a must as it is so unique with the spicy tea leaves! Idid share it with the three other people in my group. We also shared the Burmese Spring Rolls. For my entree I had the PunnThey Noodles with chicken! I loved the sweet and sour flavors. I ended my meal sharing some mango ice cream. Our server washelpful in describing the menu options. It was fun to have a server robot deliver your labeled food! I did not feel shortchanged as our server checked in on us often! I love trying different cuisines and I will definitely visit again.

We travel, pretty frequently, and food is always a major part of our spending. This was absolutely amazing, down to the last... detail. Few places, can make you forget that you're in a major city and get lost in the atmosphere... but this place did forus. We still talk about how succulent the meat was, and have never had anything like it. Read more
