    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
