Best Burmese Restaurants in Portola Valley

We return to Teakwood again and again because of the quality of food and the proximity to the Davies Symphony Hall. It was a busy evening and our waiter did not pay too much attention to us after food was delivered. Tables were small and crowded. When we’re ready to pay, I had to get up to find somebody. It is a more comfortable experience if you can get a booth, with 3 or more guests. Otherwise, just go for the food, not the ambience or service.

We were seated before 6 pm, so noise was not an issue, and it was still easy to talk at the end of our meal. Food and Service were excellent and we will definitely comeback in the future.

Delicious as always. It was a busy Valentine’s and the staff worked hard to accommodate my last minute change jn plans and late arrivals.

Great experience despite the noise level that made conversation challenging at times.

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!
