Rangoon Ruby Christchurch New Zealand

"A rare find in Christchurch. Burmese food with the Burmese chef/owner’s infusion of Japanese quality, attention to details (obtained while working in Japan) while maintaining the original Myanmar cuisine taste. Recommended!"

"A memorable and mouthwatering experience at Rangoon Ruby

I had the pleasure of dining at Rangoon Ruby on Colombo Street in Christchurch, thanks to a thoughtful recommendation—and invitation—from a friend originally from Burma. What a delightful discovery.

The restaurant’s interior is simply stunning. Modern touches blend seamlessly with traditional Burmese details—from the intricately designed menu on the wall and the colorful umbrellas adorning the ceiling, to the striking mural of Burmese women gracing the back wall. It creates a welcoming and culturally rich atmosphere.

From the moment we stepped inside, the hospitality was exceptional. The hostess greeted us with genuine warmth, and we were pleasantly surprised when the Chef and members of the kitchen staff came out to say hello. Our waiter was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.

Now, the food. Every dish was a standout. The seafood was perfectly cooked, infused with delicate yet vibrant flavours. The beef curry was melt-in-your-mouth tender, no knife required. I couldn’t get enough of the Tea Leaf Salad—I nearly finished the entire thing myself. We ended on a high note with a dessert that tasted like a comforting blend of warm rice pudding and sponge cake, paired with fresh fruit and cream.

All in all, Rangoon Ruby offers a truly special dining experience—flavourful, heartfelt, and beautifully executed. It’s an absolute must-try."
