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.

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. The dishes often bring together savory, tangy, and lightly spicy elements, creating balanced flavors that feel both complex and approachable. Salads in particular are a hallmark of Burmese cooking, and they stood out for their vibrant mix of ingredients and textures, often combining fresh vegetables with crunchy components and flavorful dressings.
Another highlight of the meal was the use of aromatic spices and herbs. Many dishes carried the warmth of turmeric, garlic, ginger, and chili while maintaining a balance that allowed individual ingredients to stand out. The proteins were well prepared, and the sauces complemented the dishes without overwhelming the underlying flavors.
The presentation of the dishes reflected a thoughtful and modern approach while still respecting traditional flavors. Plates were visually appealing and structured in a way that encouraged sharing across the table. This format allows diners to explore several dishes and experience the variety that Burmese cuisine offers.
Service during the visit was attentive and knowledgeable. Staff members demonstrated familiarity with the menu and were helpful in guiding diners who may not be familiar with Burmese cuisine. Their recommendations helped create a well-balanced selection of dishes for the table.
The overall atmosphere contributes significantly to the experience. Dagon manages to introduce a relatively uncommon cuisine to Honolulu’s dining scene while maintaining a comfortable and approachable environment for guests.
Overall, Dagon offers a thoughtfully executed Burmese dining experience with vibrant flavors, strong culinary identity, and attentive service. It stands out as one of the more unique and memorable restaurants in Honolulu for those interested in exploring Southeast Asian cuisine.

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. 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.

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!

A great Burmese restaurant! We were a group of nine and managed to reserve a table on the same day. It was a feast of rich flavours and spices. We ordered: laphet (the traditional fermented tea leaf salad unique to Burma), mango salad, vegetable samosas, stuffed tofu, chicken biryani, vegetable kebat, beef and potato curry, lamb coconut curry and chilli prawns.
All dishes were delicious and enjoyed by the group, most of whom have never tried Burmese food. Though very tasty, the weakest dish according to my Burmese partner was the tea leaf salad, since the tea leaves were very sparingly used, meaning the dish lacked the usual punch that we are used to having at home or with relatives, but we figured it’s a difficult and expensive ingredient to source on the islands. Still, worth ordering to get a hint of what is one of the most interesting salads in the world!

Dagon was a lovely experience, we were sure to make reservations as seating is limited and this is a popular place. Parking was available on the street with no problem either. Our waitress and hostess ( same ) checked our vax cards and IDs and got us seated she was attentive and got us water and drinks right away. We had plenty of time to look over the menu and make our decisions but unfortunately this is where things started to slow down a bit. She still did a great job but she was the only one working which seems to be the case in a lot of places these days. No biggie we weren’t pressed for time but some small irritations with getting some of the items. The food was all cooked and prepared very well and tasted great, the portions we great too. I’m no Burmese expert but everything seemed very authentic and we will definitely go back again and would highly recommend Dagon to friends and family.

short story go to the other Burmese place.
cuisine: ok
ginger salad. good, but dry
coconut rice: very good. well balanced, but a bit over cooked
mango shrimp curry: nice balance and tang. no heat. shrimp under done
service: poor.
kitchen, good.
bathroom existence obscure
BYOB
floor, poor: understaffed for a friday with poor attention to detail. too many tables for one waitress. had this one before. she was a little salty then too.
said 5 minute wait. I waited 15 and watched the single waitress handle every table on the floor after setting our table for 2. cleared 5 tables, delivered 3, 4 empty, made us wait outside and when I checked in at 15 minutes told me she said 10 and asked me to wait outside again.
ambiance: OK.

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.
