Rangoon Burmese Kitchen

Food and drinks were fantastic! One of the best old fashioneds I have ever had (specifically with the Knob Creek Rye). We got the biryani and shan noodles with the brussels sprouts appetizer. The lamb in the biryani was some of the most tender I have ever had. I love Indian and Thai food and this restaurant is like an incredible amalgamation of the two in terms of color, textures, and spices. Come check this place out!

Lovely experience of trying Burmese cuisine. It tasted like good home-cooked food. Lovely interior. But cleaning the space with chemicals right after opening is not the best idea. The restaurant was smelling like that Spanish floor cleaner. Disquastin 🤢

Food: I ordered the fish curry with red snapper. Unfortunately, the curry wasn’t that great. It didn’t had the tangy taste and lacked in the depth of flavor. I was hoping for it be a bit spicy too. My friends got the chicken Burmese curry and it was alright. The curry was slightly sweet. Service: Our waitress was so friendly and always checked in on us despite her being the only one running almost the whole restaurant when it got a bit busy. It was a 10/10 service. Atmosphere: Very vibey ambiance filled with nice decor. Parking: we got lucky with street parking that is a block away from the restaurant. Street parking is free on Sundays and holidays. I think it’s also free after 6 p.m. on other days. If you can’t find street parking, you can also park at the municipal parking lot.

Amazing small restaurant in china town bigger then a hole in the wall and absolutely amazing. First time trying this style food so I asked for recommendations and the waitress did not hesitate or disappoint. She pointed out several of their best sellers and a few of her personal preference so o tried them all with a friend. Everything came out beautifully platted and tasting absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. Did fill up fast during the dinner time frame with a very chill crowd.

The Review 🥢 ​A homey family restaurant located in the ❤️ of Chinatown, Hawaii. The Burmese style and history are etched right into the walls through their beautiful art and design. 🎨 ​The staff strikes that perfect balance—polite yet genuinely friendly. Entering at 7:40 p.m. on a Friday night, you’re greeted by the lively chatter of happy guests. 🗣️ With prices ranging from $18 to $40, I really enjoyed this quaint establishment. 🏮✨

We drove to Chinatown for a little visit and were wanting to eat something a little “different” and saw this place. The decor is unique and inviting. We had a larger dinner planned so our party of 4ordered 1 salad and 2 larger dishes but still had leftovers. The salad was 5 stars. The noodle dish was a 3 stars. The biryani was 4 stars. The tea salad with cabbage was fresh and the texture of different kinds of crunch was fun and the flavor of the fermented tea leaves was fresh. The meats across the board (chicken in the curry noodles, lamb in the biryani) were all very tender. The rice noodle itself felt quite overcooked. The other thing that surprised us with the curry sauce and the biryani spicing is that they both were quite sweet (more than expected). We were yearning for a more earthy/umami/savory seasoning. However we were very entertained and happy to be lunching at this restaurant. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing! One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Honolulu. We had the samosa, platha and curry dip, tea salad, Myek noodles and eggplant curry. It all came out really quick and hot. The tea salad and platha / curry dip are not to be missed. One suggestion I would make is do not order all your food at once because they will bring it all at once. Order your appetizers and salads first and when you’re ready then order your main dish.

Cute spot for Burmese/fusion cuisine. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all quite flavorful. The tea leaf salad can be slightly bitter secondary to the tea, bit it’s nice to try and surprisingly filling because of the seeds and nuts. Curry was excellent with tender meat. It’s a nice change if you’re looking to experiment something new.

Excellent food and great service! This is a great place to go for some delicious ethnic Burmese and good cocktails. The menu is great for lunch too. The atmosphere inside makes it easy to forget the slightly sketchy neighborhood outside. The salads here never miss. We tried the Rangoon Tea Leaf and the Mango salads - both were really good. The curries are also top notch. We've had the Rangoon curry with beef, and the pumpkin curry. Again both were great. My only knock against them is for the fritters, which were almost too hard to stab with a fork, and we're a slight jaw workout. Honestly if weren't for that inconsistency I'd have given them 5 stars. Lastly, the service was great. There was a mishap during one of my times there and the waitress handled it with aplomb.
