Top Burmese

A new favorite spot! I was driving in from seattle, and it was my first time here. Also my first time getting Burmese food. I am now fully obsessed with their chicken curry noodles (pro tip - get extra lime~). Staff was super chill, very helpful. Also located in a great neighborhood to roam around in before and after ~

The place has a comfortable positive atmosphere. It is small and cozy. The server was sweet and positive. I ordered the tofu curry w/coconut rice. The rice is decent in flavor taste, though however, the texture felt on the dry side. As if it was a day or two old. The tofu curry was good in flavor overall. The tofu traingle was well done though the sauce was a bit water. Typically curry sauce is much thicker. They did offer a complimentary jasmine green tea, which was a good basic tea. What I did not like about this restaurant was the portion sizes compared to the cost. This one dish cost me $22 plus tip. For a small dish that isn't enriched exotic flavors and for the size isn't worth the cost. This dish flavor is your typical tofu curry dish you can get in many places for large portion size and cheaper price.

The chicken curry was incredible. The fish curry was also delicious-- reminds me of Cambodian khmer noodles. The Chinese noodles are a bit oily but everything else tastes light and fresh. 3 plates were perfect to share with 3 to 4 people. Delicious cocktails & soju also. Great service-- they joked with us made good recommendations. Will definitely return.

This is a great little quiet spot for dinner with a cozy vibe and unique decor. The tables are painted with different designs and the food is unlike anything I have had. Unsurprisingly the food is somewhere between Indian and Thai food. Dietary guides are clearly marked on the menu, including vegan and vegetarian. The samosas are familiar Indian-like fair. The fresh salads somewhat like Thai or Nepalese food. The curries are hearty and savory, more like a Japanese curry instead of sweet Thai curry or spicy Indian curry. The kabocha curry is a delicious vegan choice. The noodle soup is like Tom Yum Nam Khon. All flavorful and worth the price. My favorite part were the drinks. The Brumese tea with coconut milk really hit the spot on a cold rainy day. The Burmese lemonade had a depth of flavor to it, with some pleasant slushy shaved ice. The Burma Pearl was refreshing for an alcoholic drink. Not strong at all and pleasantly sweet and sour. Dining inside is small, so not good on busy days. They have a very cute robot that helps with orders! Quick service no complaints. Highly recommended for mixed company of vegetarians, omnivores and vegans alike. **beware there is a step down into the restaurant, if you have a wheelchair this will make the inside functionally inaccessible** edit: the business says there is a secondary entrance which is level and accessible. I did not see this during my visit.

I first tried Burmese food in San Francisco and loved it. When I moved to Portland, I was happy to find this cute Burmese restaurant near me! I have eaten here multiple times; the rainbow salad is incredible and the coconut chicken soup is my go to for rainy Portland days. Not to mention, everyone working at Top Burmese is so kind, and willing to go above & beyond!
