2023-11-29 02:21:57The folks at royal Rangoon are prompt and friendly! The food is some of the best in the Bay Area and the atmosphere of the restaurant lends itself to lots of good conversation! The portions are hearty and the food has incredible, complex flavors. I love coming here for my birthday, and always bring out of town friends to eat here! I especially love the samosa soup!

2023-10-20 03:38:28We have been coming here for years, and it is one of the most consistently outstanding restaurants in our rotation. My kids love the sesame chicken, and the tea leaf salad is always fresh and perfectly spiced. The owner is warm and friendly, and at this point he had seen my kids grow from babies into young adults.This is exactly the kind of high quality, neighborhood business that is my pleasure to support. Enjoy!

2023-09-03 06:08:52A hidden gem: Best halal Burmese place in the Bay Area 🎊We went with a party of 8. In order to reserve, we called ahead of time and confirmed a 7:30 pm check in. Waiter said we were welcome to walk in. He also verbally confirmed the food was halal. Satisfied, we drove to the place at the confirmed time.Decor was pretty nice and the restaurant was quiet given there were very few diners.We ordered the following appetizers and mains:-1- Tea leaf salad2- Samosa3- Mango salad4- Basil chilli lamb5- Basil chilli beef6- Sesame chicken7- Fried rice8- Coconut riceAll the items were absolutely delicious! The salad were oh so crunchy and so fresh! The combination of toasted garlic,peanuts and nuts with the tangy salad was really good! I thought the salad at Burma superstar was good, but this was much better!Fried rice was really good too and so were the other mains.All in all, highly recommend. This will be our go to place up north.P.S: For folks considering halal, note they serve pork too.

2023-10-15 06:31:11Excellent Burmese food in Berkeley! Service was friendly and the establishment was clean. We were in town visiting family and feeling famished. Ordered the mango tofu, fiery tofu and vegetables, and coconut rice. The rice was incredible! Highly recommend. We appreciated that the typical surly, disgruntled jaded Bay Area worker attitude was not present here. Thank you for making out-of-towners feel welcome!

2023-11-25 04:10:06Ate here for the first time tonight, and it was such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. But what stood out the most was the outstanding, warm and courteous service. I can’t wait to visit again!

2023-10-09 01:40:39Really cozy intimate setting. Tea Leaf salad a must. It holds true to the hype. We went right during opening. So, its not too busy. All the food was delicious and savory.

2023-09-07 16:44:50Never had Bermese before. Was skeptical at first but quickly fell in love with the place. The Palata with Chicken Curry & The Tez Leaf Salad are a great way to start. Love the Basil Beef & Rangoon Shrimp. Great service, we go at least a couple times a month now. I am hooked.

2016-12-12 08:13:22Overall its pretty good, though the dessert was a slight letdown. The tea leaf salad is a favorite, always recommended. Also tried the basil chili lamb and chicken biryani. The lamb was great, the biryani was decent. Coconut rice doesnt have as pronounced of a coconut flavor as other places. For dessert we tried the sticky rice with mango, but the mango was not ripe at all: instead it was hard and slightly sour, definitely not a good complement for the rice. We mentioned this to the server but after checking with the kitchen he said they didnt have any better mangoes. We got some ice cream as well - that was ok. Would pass on both desserts next time unless they had ripe mangoes. Overall its a decent value in terms of taste/price.

2018-02-24 03:42:47This is a great place to eat Burmese food. Usually not crowed but it is better to make a reservation. Thanks be of the owners is really friendly and smiled at our little one. Place is quiet and we’re friendly to our child. Parking was not difficult Friday around 6 pm. Recommended to small and big groups.

2018-03-18 17:56:16Our second time at Royal Rangoon. Feels like you cannot go wrong with the food here. I would have given a five stars but yesterday, the restaurant was busy and that created some room for a little bit of delay in everything. But overall, a pleasant experience.
