Rangoon Ruby in San Carlos is one of those spots where you walk in and immediately know you’re in for something different with a warm, stylish decor with a hint of elegance, and the aroma of garlic, spices, and coconut milk floating through the air. It’s upscale but not uptight, perfect for date nights, group dinners, or anyone craving authentic Burmese food done right.
Must-Try Dishes:
* Tea Leaf Salad (Lahpet Thoke)
This is the signature dish and it does not disappoint. Fermented tea leaves, crunchy nuts, seeds, tomatoes, garlic, and lime all come together in a tangy, umami-packed bite. Complex and addicting.
* Samusa Soup
A flavorful lentil-based soup with pieces of samusa (Burmese samosas) swimming inside. Spiced but not too spicy , cozy and comforting.
* Pumpkin Pork Stew
Tender pork belly in a mild pumpkin curry , rich, slightly sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Definitely a sleeper hit on the menu.
* Burmese Style Garlic Noodles
Stir-fried noodles with crispy garlic, scallions, and your choice of protein. Simple, but seriously flavorful. A good “gateway dish” if you’re new to Burmese cuisine.
* Coconut Rice
Order it as a side with anything , fluffy, fragrant, and the perfect match for the saucier curries.
* Shan Noodles
One of the most beloved street foods of Myanmar rice noodles with chicken or pork in a slightly tangy tomato-based sauce. Light but deeply satisfying.
Drinks & Atmosphere:
They’ve got a full bar with solid craft cocktails and Burmese beer. The vibe is classy but welcoming ,think white tablecloths with a laid-back neighborhood feel. Service is attentive, helpful, and happy to guide you if you’re new to Burmese food.
Price Point:
It’s on the higher side for casual dining , you’re looking at ~$18-$28 for entrées. But the portions are fair, the quality is high, and the experience feels special. It’s not cheap takeout, but it’s worth it.
Final Verdict:
Rangoon Ruby delivers , bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and dishes that strike a perfect balance between comforting and adventurous. If you’ve never tried Burmese cuisine, this place makes a fantastic first impression. Just be ready to spend a little , and leave very full.

Went on a sunday, dinner for 2. It was really crowded, but staff were friendly and did their best. We ordered some sake that was pretty decent for like $35 a bottle. We had samosas and the tea leaf salad for appetizers. Both were really great, especially the salad. The fermented tea leaf is a distinct flavor, and paired with crunchy nuts and greens is a good combo. The spicy lamb and pork curry were definitely good but nothing crazy amazing. I also thought the rice was overcooked and clumpy. Overall very good experience, but would probably try different mains next time.

Went here for dinner and at 6, we were the only ones there. We ordered a lot of food – bowls of Jasmine rice, Mango Chicken, Garlic Noodles, Burmese Pad Thai, Yellow Tofu in Red Curry and ended with a Coconut Pudding.
Mango Chicken was sweet – expected it to be tangy. The Pad Thai and Red Curry base were the same. The Banana Pudding however was interesting. We ordered it with vanilla ice cream and it was awesome. Will come back for more.

This was my first time having Burmese and was bit excited. Started with freshly cut coconut with coconut water, it was bit ok not that good. Had Tea leaf salad & loved it, it tasted soo good . Service was very friendly. As this’s our first time here got no idea what to have and the lady who served our table was a great help to us. And then tried a Fish dish called Basil Chili Swai (if I’m not wrong) with a side of flavored coconut rice which was damn good. Ended up with Coconut pudding along with Pineapple ice cream. Over all the experience was amazing. Will definitely come back …….

Rangoon Ruby is a bit of an anomaly. The interior exudes of something that pushes it to be higher end, but in a “Western” way while the food obviously is Burmese/Thai. Now that’s okay… to be a fancy high-end Asian cuisine. Unfortunately, the quality of the food doesn’t support it.
The chicken comes in like flakes of cardboard. While the paratas were tasty, the lamb dip was simply washed out. The eggplant dish was surprisingly the saving grace. But again, one dish being tasty out of many simply doesn’t live up to the caliber of the facade.
If it wasn’t for the kind waiter, I would’ve dropped the review to a 2-star. A bit disappointing and a bummer that they couldn’t live up to the expected quality.

Small restaurant in downtown San Carlos. Ambiance is nice and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. Has online payment option. The food is good, the highlight of the meal was the Burmese Pad Thai and the mango sticky rice. Parking in downtown San Carlos can be tricky at times. Burmese iced tea is not the same as Thai iced tea, more like Indian chai tea.

We got the garlic noodles- excellent. Lemongrass Chicken- excellent. Chicken Crispy- my son said was great. Jasmine rice was done perfectly! Can’t wait to explore more of their menu! Slightly pricey, but the portions & flavor make up for it!

Ordered several items for takeout, most we’re good but the veggie kebat was really awful.
Veggie kebat – first the portion… For $19 we got 3 strips of tofu, 10 green bean, 3 wedges if tomatoe, 1/4 carrot, 1/4 onion. Tiniest portion I’ve ever seen for a ridiculous price. And it had no flavor. The spice was intense, but there wasn’t really any depth of flavor, I had to put salt in the dish. Very disappointing, I cannot recommend any is their kebat dishes. Maybe they left our the mint leaves, tumeric and masala cuz the only flavor I could imagine was tamarind due to the the hint of flavor?
Basil chili chicken. Very tasty. I think this was chicken thigh though, despite saying breast in the menu. Also very small portion but at least edible.
Chicken crisp. Heavily fried and breaded but tasty.
Pot stickers. Family really enjoyed these.

This was such a wonderful place to discover. Tea leaf salad is a must to start with the fermented tea leaves. Fresh Coconut water adds the zing and the beer is great too. All the dishes were perfect in taste, spice and flavor. Shrimps, lambs, porks were all cooked to perfection with gravy. Try the kebat and add the sides of noodles. Parking maybe a challenge. The restaurant is spacious, well lit and airy with outside seating, and the staff is excellent.

Ordered this location for catering to the office and everyone absolutely loved the food. Beef and chicken were tender, walnut shrimp were large sized, garlic noodles was nice as well. Fiery tofu and vegetables (green beans) and garlic eggplant were extremely popular choices. A must have favorite for the office. Catering portions are definitely a little smaller than the claimed headcount, be prepared to order quite a bit extra compared to the claimed headcount.
