I accidentally discovered this restaurant and WOW! Love it! Have eaten there 3 times this month. Wish we had one in Los Altos. Judy

We were seated promptly. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. We had tea leaf salad, shrimp and eggplant, lemongrass chicken, and garlic noodles (medium spice level). A great meal and half came home for dinner tomorrow.

Ruby Rangoon is a gem for flavorful Southeast Asian cuisine! The tea leaf salad was fresh and packed with umami, and the crispy samosas were perfectly spiced. The fiery tofu had a great balance of heat and texture, though I wouldn't have minded an extra kick. The pad Thai was delicious, though slightly on the sweeter side, and the lemongrass chicken was fragrant, tender, and well-seasoned. Service was warm and welcoming. Overall, an excellent dining experience—I'll definitely be back!

I really wanted to like it but unfortunately we had a bad experience from the start. The lettuce cups appetizer had hard bits in it that we had to spit out. We ate very little of it and told our server who didn't seem to understand. The main course was fine but we were careful eating. We couldn't wait to leave.

Food was great. The place was super packed and even with a reservation there was a 15-20 min wait.

We decided to try new things and ordered the lotus chips Very tasty with tea leaf aioli which we loved, along with the Tea Leaf Salad which is the most interesting and delicious salad on the planet! The staff took great care of us, advised on a few choices on the menu which turned out to be beyond great, Delicious and a pleasure to try! We had the broccoli with garlic, the Chicken and Shrimp, the Ruby Shrimp too and the food was fantastic in presentation and flavors. We will definitely dine at Rangoon Ruby again!

The server Mel was great we love him. I asked for no spice and the chicken and they added hot peppers. The broccoli was cold and my friends rice was not hot. But the food was delicious once we got it right

Our group had an absolutely lovely time here. Everyone that took care of us was very attentive and made great recommendations. Food was finger licking good! We look forward to coming back :)

This was our first try Burmese food and we really enjoyed their taste. We ordered chicken fried rice, eggplant Burmese curry and beef kebat. We loved fried rice and eggplant curry most, kebat taste was on average. Overall quality and quantity both were satisfactory ?
We went there on Friday night, did reserve our table 2hrs ahead. Parking could be an issue specially during weekends or Friday night but there are a number of public parking places nearby, you just have to be lucky to get a perfect spot!

N.B: if you are not used to asian spicy, I’d recommend to try medium spicy because highest one is tough to digest

They scam you into paying for rice, the food isn’t that good, it’s expensive and the portions are small

They also made an unapproved charge on my credit card and have not been able to resolve it in the last week

Kid-friendliness: Too loud, too spicy (even mild dishes) and too expensive

I have been coming here for years andI feel like the quality of food and the service have deteriorated. But last time we went was especially bad so I felt the need to write a review. 5 of went there and I brought my baby. We were seated at a 4 person table, and it was so tight (even thought we made a reservation and there were available tables). My baby slept in the stroller the entire time, didn't need a highchair and did not eat anything. However they charged us additional fees of the party of 6. I feel like that was not fair since the baby didn't need any accommodations and we sat at such a small table.
