4.5 stars!! This restaurant is a gem. This was my first experience with Burmese food and I must say that they did a very good job of showing their cuisine off. We ordered the green tea leaf salad, the turmeric fries, the chicken curry with paratha, the all-star okra curry, the coconut noodle soup, and the kheema paratha. I also tried the grass jelly drink. I can't choose my top favorite among everything that we tried. The green tea salad was very unique and I would never have ordered it myself. Now, I'm a fan. The turmeric fries were so delicious too! The chicken curry with the paratha was very Desi and excellent tasting. The okra had a homemade feel to it. I would've liked a side of paratha with it, rather than rice. The kheema paratha was excellent. The coconut noodle soup was like a nice warming/satisfying coconut curry with noodles. The grass jelly was interesting and I know that most of the jelly was left in the can, so while it is nice tasting, I wouldn't recommend drinking it in a can. The Hillsboro location is a little small but this restaurant and the server helping out are both an absolute delight and I highly recommend coming here!!

Came here for Valentine's day. They had a couple of menu specials. The food itself was very flavorful and the beef was melting in our mouths. The only thing was that the food was very salty, not overpoweringly salty; but enough where it lingered. Drinks are great as well, flavorful and strong. Prices are just about right given the quality. Service staff were not super attentive, but they do have these cute robots to bring your food to the table; so they get some points for that. Overall solid 8/10

Stopped in for lunch with a few coworkers. 1st time diving into Burmese cuisine. Once I stepped into the restaurant, this place seemed exotic. Customer service was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful in our decision making of what to try. Food was excellent. I was at a loss for words trying to describe what I was tasting. Food was prepared perfectly and well balanced. This place is a real gem. I highly recommend it and I will definitely revisit. Also, there was a robot that delivered our food to the table. Simply an amazing experience!

There are four different Top Burmese locations, each with its own unique charm, in places like Portland and Beaverton. We visited the Hillsboro location, which opened just a year ago. The interior is spacious, cozy, and stylish, creating a great atmosphere. The serving robot also did an good job🐱. We enjoyed our meal with Top Burmese Sav Blanc and Burmese Tea, starting with Sweet Mango Wings ($12), Papawadi Coconut Beef Curry ($24)🍛, and Samosa by Piece ($3), which we had as a side with the beef curry. We also tried the Coconut Noodle Soup with Tofu ($21). For dessert, we had Strawberry Falooda ($10.95) and Avocado Ice Cream ($7.95)🍨. The paratha was delightfully crispy, like pie crust, and incredibly delicious, but honestly, every dish was outstanding. We had planned to take some leftovers home, but we ended up eating almost everything!🤤

I LOVED the food. Especially the beef and paratha item. Also, the coconut milk drink with butterfly pea flower tea was heavenly!! I ordered from here before, but food tastes much better when you dine in. The robot service is cute. There aren't many South asian restaurants that serve beef. This is probably the only place where you get beef curry (not the coconut one) with ghee parathas, tastes just like home. It feels like a dream to have beef curry in a restaurant here in hillsboro. They also have a good number of non alcoholic beverages. The turmaric potato fry almost tastes like the fries our mums used to make back in home. Here is less oily. Also, I suggest the beef keema paratha. Fried beef with garlic rice is also a good americanized food option. Food is not too expensive compared to the portions and taste. I'm definitely going back.

The service in this restaurant was excepional: I felt quite welcome and well attended. I am not an expert on Burmese food, so I cannot comment on the "authenticity" of the dishes I had. I had chicken samosas and chicken curry. Both were quite tasty but had no heat. Some very fine hot chili sauce was available and allowed me to heat to my heart's content.

I brought my son here for a Thursday dinner and there was only one other table occupied. Parking is street parking but it was pretty easy for us to find a spot. The restaurant itself has nice decor and comfortable seating. We ordered a mango lassi ($8.95), mango wings ($12), beef curry with coconut rice ($23) and chicken curry with paratha ($23). Overall, we felt that the food was just ok but not really worth the prices. The wings only had 5 in an order and we expected more for that price. The beef curry was on the saltier side and the meat varied between soft and tougher pieces. The chicken curry was very tender and the portions of each were enough for leftovers. The coconut rice was good and the paratha was fair but not any better than when I make the frozen ones at home, it had a nice chew but wasn't as flaky as others. I would rate an overall 3.5 for ok food that is pricey, great service and a nice ambience. We probably wouldn't choose this for our date nights again.

I was searching for a new restaurant to try for my birthday, and this one caught my eye. Since I enjoy Thai food I thought it will be similar. I am so glad I did, my dish was incredible tasty and my drink was ideal for the hot weather; Zia , the bartender-waitress made us feel so special. I ordered Papawadi Coconut beef curry and my drink was Mango Lazi.
