★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sameet Sapra · Nov 2025

This must have been an off day as I went during Thanksgiving, but everything fell just a little short. The tea leaf salad needed more of the fermented tea leaf, the mixing process didn’t feel very special. We liked the lamb curry and coconut rice, but the curry didn’t feel very emulsified, it didn’t have the right consistency. The garlic noodles also were a letdown, the chicken chewy and just lackluster flavors. I expected it to be more oily and way more garlicky, instead it was dry. The house made chili sauce was very spicy, so you’ve been warned. The paratha was excellent and rich and savory with the coconut chicken, probably my favorite dish of them all. I thought the prices were very reasonable.

Tea leaf salad is a must. Good service, ambience and food. Definitely will be coming back with extra room for dessert. One thing to note is that mains were a little salty and maybe the sesame chicken was a little too sweet, but definitely still tasty. Liked the coconut rice!

Just a normal walk around the neighbourhood here in Belmont. I found this place ordered some burger and fries. I love how it was perfectly cooked and presented. While eating near the window looking at the quite neighbor passing by. It's worth it ,🙏🏻

Some places just become part of your life. Rangoon Ruby is one of those for me. I have been coming here for over ten years, and somewhere along the way I fell in love with Burmese food through this kitchen. What I love most is how the flavors quietly carry influences from so many regions. You can taste hints of Chinese techniques, Indian spices, and Thai-style brightness, all woven together into something that feels completely its own. It is not fusion for the sake of it. It is Burmese cuisine standing confidently on its own. I always end up getting a little tour of flavors when I eat here. The tea leaf salad is still a favorite. Bright, savory, layered, and somehow comforting every time. The basil chili beef and the mint jalapeño chicken never disappoint either. Familiar, bold, and deep

Drinks were great..we ordered Moscow mule which came in a cute metal cup going well with the overall ambience. We ordered Fiery tofu and garlic noodles for the main course. The noodles were a little bland for my taste but were perfect aldante. It came with a sweet spicy sauce which went well with it. The fiery tofu was to die for. It had a distinct basil taste which added to its overall flavor. For the dessert we had the Sooji with mango icecream. I have had sooji dessert all my life but never with a combination of a icecream..the hot sooji and cold icecream combination was a flavor explosion 🔥. Would definitely recommend this place.
