Dagon

I recently visited Dagon for the first time and had a lovely experience. The waitress was really friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Every item we ordered was outstanding. Each bite full of flavor. I recommend the Tea Leaf Salad pupu. Will definitely come back! No reservations required. A few parking spots available in the back, otherwise street parking.

I recently dined at Dagon, and it delivered one of the more distinctive culinary experiences in Honolulu by highlighting the rich and often underrepresented flavors of Burmese cuisine. Located along South King Street, the restaurant has a contemporary yet welcoming atmosphere that balances modern design with a comfortable neighborhood feel. The dining room feels polished without becoming overly formal, allowing guests to focus on exploring the unique flavors of the menu. Burmese cuisine is known for combining influences from neighboring regions such as Thailand, India, and China, and Dagon’s menu reflects this diversity through a variety of dishes that emphasize herbs, spices, fermented ingredients, and layered textures.

A cute little restaurant with remarkable Burmese food. Their lamb briyani is the best on island and their curries are delicious.

The food is easily one of my favorite places. The salad was very unique and delicious with tea leaves in it. Shan noodle's tamato-based sauce flavour was so good.

Three dishes were more than enough for two people as we still had enough leftover that's enough for another one person meal. Visiting from Vancouver, which is already well known for variety of top notch cuisines it offers, we actually don't have any good Burmese restaurants. Another thing tourists should know is th

This was my first time eating Burmese so I can't vouch for how authentic it is, all I know everything was delicious. My wife loves Burmese food since visiting Myanmar, so we had to try it. It's a flavorful cross between Indian, Chinese and Thai food. We got the tea leaf salad to start with, which was super refreshing. I got the garlic noodles, which was very Thai inspired and very tasty, and my wife had the lamb potato curry with Jasmine rice, which had distinct Indian influences. We also got the Burmese tofu on the side, sort of chickpea french fries - delicious. Overall, the meal was great and the service was exceptional,we'd definitely go ahead when we're back in Honolulu.
