Rangoon Ruby
Burmese cooking with a modern take on Emerson Street, downtown Palo Alto, with a full bar and private events.
Acerca de
Tea leaf salad, coconut noodle soup and curries built on slow-cooked onion and garlic are the heart of Burmese cooking, and Rangoon Ruby brings that kitchen to 445 Emerson Street in downtown Palo Alto, a short walk from University Avenue. The restaurant's own website lists the address and phone number and credits Chef Max Lee with a menu that pairs traditional Burmese dishes with a modern approach.
On the table
Burmese food borrows from India, China and Thailand and ends up somewhere of its own. Restaurants in this style usually centre the menu on fermented tea leaf salad tossed with fried beans, nuts and seeds, alongside noodle dishes, curries and rice plates. Check the current menu on the restaurant's website before you go, since dishes and specials change.
The site lists dine-in service with reservations through SevenRooms, takeout and pickup, delivery through SpotOn and DoorDash, catering, and private parties and events. There is a full bar.
Planning a meal
Lunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day. Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 on Monday through Thursday, 10 on Friday and Saturday, and 9 on Sunday. Downtown Palo Alto fills up on weekend evenings, so a reservation is the safer choice for a group. For catering or a private event, ask about minimums, how far ahead to book and whether a set menu is required. If anyone at the table avoids peanuts, shellfish or fish sauce, say so when ordering, because those ingredients turn up often in Burmese dishes. The city's public garages a block or two away are usually the easiest place to park.
Getting there
The restaurant draws diners from Palo Alto and Stanford and from Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and Santa Clara, across the northern end of Santa Clara County. Caltrain's Palo Alto station at the foot of University Avenue is within walking distance.
