Dagon Burmese Cuisine

Wow, this was such a flavorful and delicious meal! This was our first time at Dagon and we’re already planning our next visit. We had the appetizer sampler plate, Burmese curry, coconut curry, pumpkin stew, nan pya dok, and coconut rice and our group loved all our dishes. When we first sat down we asked the waitress what her favorite dishes were and she said she could pick just one as she loved them all. She was so right. We can’t wait to come back and try even more new dishes!

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.

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

Casual atmosphere, no frills but warm service. I ordered the Tea Leaf Salad, Palatha, and Burmese Eggplant Curry, and enjoyed all three menu items. The palatha was super flaky and the eggplant was tender and warmly spiced. Would return to try additional menu items!

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. The only reason I gave it 4 star was because of a cockroach that was spotted crawling on a plate on another table waiting for customers. Unfortunately, this is probably more common than we expect in many restaurants so you'd have to just accept it. Despite this, I'm still tempted to come back and try different dishes. 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 the BYOB in Hawaii. I'm really envious you can do this in Hawaii as I experienced this for the first time here bringing own wine and enjoying the food without having to pay ridiculous mark up for some cheap wine at a restaurant.

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.
