Where Top Burmese began ๐ฒ๐ฒโค๏ธ
This little space was Top Burmese in 2019 โ a tiny delivery and takeout kitchen in NW Portland, with no real dining room and a very small menu: samosas, chicken curry, tofu curry, tea leaf salad and nan gyi thoke.
Then guests started showing up and asking if they could eat there. So we added a little seatingโฆand then a little more. ๐
Before long, we had outgrown this tiny space and eventually found our home on NW 21st โ our OG location that is very dear to us.
Looking at this photo brings back so many memories. We really had no idea where that little window would take us. โค๏ธ
Thank you, Portland, for being part of our story. ๐ฒ๐ฒ
