    Royal Rangoon has very good food and just about perfect service. It was a joy to be so carefully attended to and this was coupled with quite tasty entrees.

    Best Burmese around. This place has been in the regular rotation for years (saying this as a local). The owner is extremely nice and gracious. Great place to have dinner as there is ample street parking and the inside is nice and always very clean. To go orders are great too and very fast if you want to do pickup like I often do since the office is nearby. Order today was Basil Chili Beef, Mango Salad, and Somosa Soup, all A+. Will be back soon.

    Mango lassi was otherworldly. Fresh, nectar flavor, with unmeltable ice. The waiter hand mixed the salad for 3 minutes. Impressed with the tofu in the appetizer and main dish. First time trying yellow bean tofu. We liked all the dishes

    I am addicted to the roselle leaf stir fry here. It's got such a unique flavor that you can't get anywhere else. Sometimes in the cooler months they will also have a special: a soup made with the leaves and bamboo shoots. (They can prepare the stir fry without meat or seafood if you don't like meat). It's so amazing, truly. The soup was the only thing I wanted to eat for a month during and after I had covid. The staff is super kind too. While I was waiting for my take home meal recently, they chatted with me about the ingredients in my favorite dishes, what kind of herbs and veggies they use, and gave me tips on where I could find the ingredients to try to prepare the soup at home since fhey don't usually offer it during summer months. As an aside, i honestly like their tea leaf salad better than burma superstar's. RR makes theirs with thinly sliced cabbage instead of romaine, so it has a lovely crunch and sweetness from the cabbage - it's still good the next day too because it doesn't get wilted. I think their tea leaf paste dressing has a more complex flavor than Burma Superstar too. I hope this place stays open forever!
