Rangoon Bistro

While traveling, I stumbled upon Rangoon Bistro on a mission to find some good vegan food. Their Mushroom Mala Ci Chet ($18) was bursting with rich, spicy, earthy flavors that made each bite more satisfying than the last. I left feeling both full and incredibly satisfied with the dish. We were a large group, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly our dishes were served, piping hot and beautifully presented. The space itself is spacious and warmly inviting, perfect for settling in with friends or family and truly enjoying the meal. Rangoon Bistro is a vibrant, affordable gem that's sure to make any vegan (or non-vegan) food lover's heart happy. An absolute must-visit if you're craving bold flavors and a memorable dining experience.

Wonderful spot serving Burmese food in a casual but airy wooden interior space. A little pricey but reasonable for food quality and quantity. Having been to the country itself and a lot of Burmese spots, the tea leaf salad was delicious and right up there with the best - a little more bitter due to the leaves not being as fermented and could have skipped the celery, but great anyway - hitting the nail on lots of crunchy bits.Pork rib dish was delicious as well. Ribs were incredibly tender without being too fatty and came in a broth/sauce that was sort of a combination of chicken broth, chimichurri, and some acid. Part soup part gumbo, I was really impressed at how the ribs retained the flavors of the dish without a sauce per se. Rice was perfect. A very hearty, comforting dish that could be split 3 ways as an appetizer or a main dish for 1. Food and ordering was quick.Look forward to returning next time I'm in Portland!

Absolutely incredible Burmese food, amongst the best I've ever had. My highest recommendation. I stopped in for lunch with a friend, and we shared three dishes. Ordering is done at the counter, and staff bring the food out shortly thereafter. We ordered:-Lahpet Thoke ($14; prepared vegan by omitting the fish sauce) -- this is the classic Burmese fermented tea leaf salad. Their execution of it was top-notch, with fantastic textures from the deep fried fava beans, pulses, crunchy cabbage, crushed peanuts, fried onions, tomato, and of course the tea leaves, and dressed with a nicely acidic dressing. Phenomenal stuff.-Shan Tofu ($11) -- this is the classic Burmese chickpea tofu dish, though this particular version of the dish was quite different: very creative and impeccably prepared. You get thin slices of chickpea tofu, topped with crushed peanuts, shredded cabbage, and other stuff, accompanied by a somewhat rich, tangy, oily, somewhat sweet dressing. This was incredible.-Tofu Nway ($16) -- this was the most unusual dish we ordered. The dish is centred around rice noodles and cooked with a chickpea tofu sauce -- I had never seen tofu used this way. Coming with it is mustard greens, a couple dal fritters, and various garnishes. Brilliant combination of flavours and textures once again.Friendly, quick service, reasonably priced, very generous portions. I can't praise the food enough. Don't miss this when in PDX.

Been coming here for years and it's always just great. The food is delicious, prepared fresh, the coconut milk drink is to die for, and all the staff are super nice. It's a relaxed little place inside a building that hosts a wellness center, and the food feels nourishing and works well with the overall vibe of the place.

I've never done a follow up review, particularly when I had already given the place 5 stars, but this has quickly become my favorite restaurant. We took our daughters and we all ordered something different. You know it's amazing when everyone is insisting you get a bite of theirs, they want to share the joy they're experiencing! Service is always quick and friendly, getting to see the head chef smile ear to ear when he sees you enjoying his food just makes the whole experience elevate. We loved the non formal laid back vibe, was perfect for a rainy day! Already can't wait to go back and it will always be the restaurant we take people to!

Wow wow wowCame here on a random whim because it was close and I hadn't tried it and I was blown away. We got the Tofu Nway, Mala Aloo, and Khao Payne Sane and everything was amazing. The flavors were complex, the texture of everything was on point, and the meal left me wanting to try everything else on the menu! Also got the Tamarind Pegu club drink which was lovely. It's been awhile since I've been so pleasantly surprised by a new food place. I will absolutely be back. My mom even stopped by the kitchen window to tell the cooks how great the food was.

Have been coming here since my partner and I moved two years ago and their food is always so delicious and fresh.We always order their cold Burmese tea leaf salad and shan tofu dishes (vegetarian). This place provides a lot of vegetarian options and they can make the tea leaf salad, which typically comes with shrimp floss and fish sauce, vegetarian and still delicious. Don't miss out on their shan tofu dish. This is my favorite dish and it's a cooling chickpea tofu dish packed with flavor. Their tofu nway noodle dish is also amazing and we always order that regardless of the season. This time around we also tried their fried chicken and wow, it was amazing. Will probably be back many more times this year to repeat all of our favorite dishes.

Cute place that has indoor and outdoor seating. The food is so goooooddddde!!! The chef is this white dude but he knows his stuff!!! So glad the Yelpera were right! Also they open until 10 pm!!!

This Summer, my mom and I took a trip to the Pacific North West. One of the highlight of our trip was visiting this authentic Burmese restaurant. The food was AMAZING !!! We talk about going back next summer to visit Portland so that we can eat at this establishment again. Beside the food, the service was also great. They were very attentive and friendly, giving us recommendations on what to do in Portland. As you can see from the pictures, we ordered a lot and ate a lot. This is a place to experience. I wish I lived in Portland so this place can be my rggular...

We stopped by one of our favorite local restaurants in SE Richmond. We always leave with extra food as the portions are typically more than you can eat!I had their spicy fried chicken which is so crispy - meaty and full of flavor that I'm getting hungry just writing about it. The staff is always friendly and they serve you quickly if you arrive before 6pm as it's always busyThere are many other tasty appetizers and entrees - enjoy!Bon AppetiteRonn just RonnThe hole in the wall food guy.
