Dagon Burmese Cuisine - Honolulu

My friends and I have eaten several times here, and we love it every time. The Dagon Tea Leaf Salad is delicious, we get it every time. I personally get the Chili Beef or Chili Lamb, but I like sharp (not for all). I recommend this restaurant to anyone I know, friend or enemy alike. Visit this place when you are in Honolulu, your stomach will thank you!

I'm not sure if this restaurant represents all Burmese cuisine, but if it does, it has become my new favorite spot. As vegetarians, we found every dish to be outstanding. The hostess was incredibly kind and welcoming, accommodating us even though the table was soon reserved. If I lived nearby, I would definitely be a regular here. The prices also offer excellent value given the quality of the food.

Have visited Dagon with groups several times in the past and have always enjoyed a variety of their dishes. The food this time did not disappoint. Was excellent as always. One thing that seems to routinely be an issue though is the wait time to have your order taken. They have fairly high staff turnover and could use more people. Would give 5 stars every time were it not for the service. Regardless, we'll be back!

We had plenty of time to peruse the menu and decide what to order, but unfortunately, this is where things began to slow down a bit. The waitress did a great job, though she appeared to be the only staff member working that day, which is often the case in many establishments. It wasn't a major issue since we weren't in a hurry, but there were a few minor inconveniences with some items. The food itself was well-cooked, beautifully presented, and delicious, with generous portion sizes. While I'm not an expert on Burmese cuisine, everything tasted authentic, and we're definitely looking forward to returning and recommending Dagon to our friends and family.

One of my favorite place to go. Food is consistent and friendly service. Burmese salad is highly recommended. They make fermented tea leaves in-house. I enjoyed food in Myanmar (Burma) now I continue to have a piece of Burma when in Honolulu. I recommend making reservations in advance even during the weekdays to avoid the disappointment.
