Updated September 2026: The restaurant’s correct name was Rau Răm. Its former Yay Kyaw Road location is closed, and we could not verify a current permanent reopening.
Rau Răm was a stylish modern Asian bistro in downtown Yangon. Its dark dining room, compact bar and creative regional menu made it feel different from more traditional restaurants in the city.
This review records our genuine visit to the former location. The food and cocktails impressed us, but readers should not use the old address as a current recommendation.
Rau Răm Yangon review
The restaurant combined Vietnamese and wider Southeast Asian influences. Familiar regional dishes arrived with modern touches, while the bar gave the room a lively evening atmosphere.
Service also felt internationally minded. The manager had worked in Singapore and Dubai before joining the Yangon restaurant scene.
What stood out during our visit
- Food quality: The dishes felt polished and used good ingredients.
- Regional flavours: The menu drew on Vietnamese and neighbouring cuisines.
- Cocktails: The bar was an important part of the experience.
- Atmosphere: Dark interiors created a relaxed, modern setting.
- Value: Prices felt reasonable for the quality during our visit.

Is Rau Răm Yangon still open?

Older directory pages still appear online. They should not be taken as proof that the restaurant is operating. Check the brand’s social channels for any temporary events or future reopening announcement.
