Burma (modernized name - Myanmar) is a Southeast Asian country about the size of Texas, tucked between India and China, is a home to various ethnic tribes, a melting pot of beautiful cultures. When it comes to taste-buds tingling cuisines, Burma has a lot to offer. It has been a passionate dream for Burma-born owners Kalvin and Poe to open a Burmese restaurant to be able to share their culinary culture. That dream came true in 2019 when Top Burmese opened as a virtual takeout only restaurant from a commissary kitchen in NW Portland. Due to its authenticity, made to order, home-style cooking, and Burmese hospitality, Top Burmese traditional and modern Burmese dishes became so popular effectively evangelizing the masses to become Burmese Food fans. Today Top Burmese serves its amazing dishes via various Burma themed restaurants. *** Top Burmese was named in Oregonian Best New Restaurants, Forbes, Willamette Week Top Eats, and various must eat lists including EATER Portland. ***

    Service was good and robots were fun, but horrible muzak playing and since pretty empty at lunchtime, atmosphere had a particularly dull vibe - in spite of nice decor. Food was bland, but plentiful. Recommend Hillsboro location because it is more lively (but go for dinner, not lunch).

    The service and place was nice but the food was not good. I’ve had Burke food many times. It was salty in most of the curry dishes. The tea leaf salad had way too much dressing and that killed the lightness of a salad. Would not go back or recommend.

    The food was ok. Not great. Beef was tough. None of the dishes had wonderful flavor. Chicken curry was dry. Not terrible but a bit disappointing. Service was good and the ambience was nice.

    We got the 5 curry feast. It was delivered by a cute robot which was kind of fun, but reduced waitstaff to ask for things like more rice or water. The food was delicious, especially the tea curry and beef stew curry. Would definitely come back.
