Stanford's is one of my favorite Portland restaurants. They have a great menu with lots of choices, and the food is always delicious. The service has always been great as well. Whether going out for a nice dinner or dropping in at Happy Hour, going to Stanford's has always been an enjoyable experience.

Beaverton

About the restaurant

Burma (modernized name - Myanmar) is a Southeast Asian country about the size of Texas, tucked between India and China, is a home to various ethnic tribes, a melting pot of beautiful cultures. When it comes to taste-buds tingling cuisines, Burma has a lot to offer. It has been a passionate dream for Burma-born owners Kalvin and Poe to open a Burmese restaurant to be able to share their culinary culture. That dream came true in 2019 when Top Burmese opened as a virtual takeout only restaurant from a commissary kitchen in NW Portland. Due to its authenticity, made to order, home-style cooking, and Burmese hospitality, Top Burmese traditional and modern Burmese dishes became so popular effectively evangelizing the masses to become Burmese Food fans. Today Top Burmese serves its amazing dishes via various Burma themed restaurants. *** Top Burmese was named in Oregonian Best New Restaurants, Forbes, Willamette Week Top Eats, and various must eat lists including EATER Portland. ***

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.

We went here for my granddaughter’s 11th birthday. There were eight of us and Nick was amazing and fun and made my granddaughter laugh. Nick is the best. And our waitress I don’t remember her name, but she was really attentive and quick to refill drinks. Ask for Nick to be your chef!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
