   When we arrived for our reservation there was a long line of people waiting and no host in sight for 10 or more minutes. There was no system to separate those with reservations from walk-ins. We were finally seated 30 minutes after our reserved time (RT) and did not receive our drink orders until 45 minutes after our RT. Food was served over an hour beyond our RT. When food arrived some was cooler than optimal and we did not receive one of our orders. The restaurant was very busy, they were clearly short staffed (only 2 waitresses for inside and outside diners) and we had to wait for water glasses to come out of the dishwasher. All and all a very disappointing experience.

   The service was spectacular! Had a reservation so didn’t have to wait long to be seated. The dojos was great. The drinks were really tasty. Give the tamarind margarita a shot!

   The food always tastes fresh! The vegan samosas are wonderful and I adore the fermented tea salad!

   My favorite restaurant in Beaverton. Great food, lovely and unique ambiance, and wonderful attention to detail in their drinks, both non alcoholic and alcoholic.

   Food was delicious. Service wasn’t stellar but far from the worst.

   Beautiful ambiance, not enough staff to care for customers, a bit dirty feeling and the food was very salty. Probably will not go back.

   Theres’s a surprising depth of Burmese food in NYC. After having it in abundance in San Francisco I was pleasantly surprised to find a high quality Burmese restaurant in a Portland suburb on a random trip so I booked a team dinner here. The food was better the second time and I plan on coming back any time I’m in the area.

    Unfortunately, my experience with the fish fillet was disappointing. The fillet was over-fried to the point of being dry and tough, and it carried a strong taste of burnt oil, which completely overwhelmed the dish. This was not the fresh and flavorful seafood I was expecting. While the service was attentive, the quality of the food left much to be desired. I hope the restaurant takes note of this feedback to ensure their dishes are prepared with better care in the future.
