Flavorful, textured beyond belief, and such an exquisite dining experience. Highly recommend for big groups, and if you want some really elevated South East Asian dishes. It was my first time having Burmese food, and it was delicious. Service was prompt, charming and made great recommendations. 10/10 read more

Rangoon Burmese Kitchen - Burmese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Second time back and honestly... I think this is entering my regular rotation! Food: - Brussel sprouts with vegetables - sooo yum! Great portion size, perfectly seasoned, just delicious. - Burmese shrimp kebat - absolutely divine. I will order this 10 more times. The shrimp portion is generous, the curry sauce is unreal, and the flavor is out of this world! It's also got a perfect spice level Trust me, you need this. - Ginger salad - they had to modify this salad a lot because of my food intolerances so I don't feel like I got the full experience. It was fine and fresh, but nothing special. I think you should get this as intended and judge for yourself. I love this restaurant and I will say that they are AMAZING with food allergies/sensitivities. So kind, so chill, so accommodating. Super unique cuisine and absolutely worth trying! Please go! read more

This restaurant was plugged to me by a friend who likes to be worldly and adventurous (read: trying different cultural cuisines), descriptors reflecting a personality which may very well be a discussion for another day. Nonetheless, this friend steered us in the right direction as the food here stayed true to the culinary standard of Southeast Asia. My party of four ordered the platha (flatbread), the pineapple fried rice, the nan gyi thoke, the garlic noodle, the myeik pan fried noodle, the Burmese pumpkin stew, and the Rangoon tea leaf salad. All of these items were quite delicious, and also our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. These dishes, however, become the type of leftovers you might argue over. The nan gyi thoke was delightful and comforting, and we naturally had no leftovers of this. Myeik pan fried noodles tasted to me like a Burmese analogue to pad Thai, with its familiar taste profile. Everything else was also delicious and very much worth trying. The most difficult part of eating here was deciding which items to try. Perhaps, I will need to return here to eat through more of the menu. read more

This place is wonderful. Servers were friendly helpful and knowledgeable. We had the tofu appetizer which was tasty and delightful...I love anything with makrut lime leaves. The tea salad was a fantastic mix of flavors and textures. The restaurant interior is lovely. read more

Came here because free feasting my way through Hawaii, needed something with vegetables-that's still delicious! Had a hankering for tea leaf salad. Daughter clearly needed veggies too since she wanted tofu instead of meat! We had the Burmese chicken noodle stew , a basil tofu dish and my longed for tea leaf salad! Service was friendly and fast, vibes were nice too . We came here four years ago last trip to HI and it was great both times! read more

Let's talk about the most surprising recommendation I've got On-Island! My co-worker recommended I come to Rangoon because I told her I was looking to try something new. The vibe when you walk in is very casual with different genres of music playing throughout the meal. We were greeted by our server, Anna, who was super attentive throughout the meal. We ordered the Mango Salad, Myeik Pan Fried Noodles, Pork Belly with Mustard Greens and a side of coconut rice. We ordered thinking we would have enough to take home later but the flavors were so good, we ended up eating everything! The mango salad was so refreshing, with a sweet and salty kick with every bite, the fried noodles were savory and fresh with a hint of squeezed lemon on top, and the pork belly with mustard greens and side of coconut rice was my winner of the night. The flavors were so unique!! It's been a couple days since we visited and I still can't get the salad dressing flavor out of my head. We also got some cocktails (not pictured) but if you're looking for a new spot to come and have some great food, come to Rangoon! 10/10 will be coming back again read more

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located between Downtown Honolulu and Chinatown, Rangoon Burmese Kitchen has been around for a while. We went on a Sunday when metered street parking is free. Inside, the restaurant is calm and quiet. It has exotic decor which added to the ethnic vibe! Dining with others has many benefits...some of which are: We can discuss our likes and dislikes, point out different aspects of the dishes, and best of all... order more variety! If I came alone to Rangoon Burmese Kitchen, I'd probably just get 2 items. However, we got the Pumpkin chicken stew, Coconut lamb curry, platha & curry dip, samosas, mango salad, and garlic noodles. Everything was beautiful and tasty! We had a wonderful experience! read more

Unique, flavorful There are so many different Burmese food dishes to sample here: salads, curry's, soup, noodles We loved the Mango salad; so much flavor we should have bought two of these two share. The Mo Hin Ga was the national dish of Burma and was so savory. Similar to pho but I enjoyed it even more. Also enjoyed the Burmese Curry, Pineapple fried rice. The Shan noodles we would likely skip next time; lacked in flavor. Highly recommend for people looking for authentic delicious SE Asian food ! read more

Everyone raves about the tea salad so I got it and was disappointed. I wasn't impressed with the flavor, like everyone else is, and there was something about it that I just didn't enjoy. I thought the rice noodle tofu dish that I got was ok. read more

This was the spot that was picked for my bro-in-law's birthday. Only a few of the 7 of us had dined here before. It was my first time. We made a reservation which I would recommend if you're going at normal meal times. We ordered: Mango Salad $18 Tea Leaf Salad $18 Burmese Samusas $15 Salt and Pepper Calamari$17 Burmese Curry with Potatoes w/chicken $18 Garlic Noodle $18 Myek Pan Fried Noodle $19 Basil Stir Fry w/beef $20 Eggplant Curry $17 Rangoon Fried Rice $18 Lemongrass Prawns $18 For the most part all of the food was really good. Lots of good flavors in every bite. Our least favorite and probably the only thing we wouldn't order again was the Lemongrass Prawns. They are a whole shrimp which isn't an issue. I don't mind separating the head from the tail and they were large but we didn't like the sauce that covered them. I LOVED the eggplant curry. The eggplant melted in my mouth and the curry was delicious. I ate the leftovers for lunch that week and got to relive the experience. The salads were both good and fresh. The calamari was nice. Our other favorite was the Myek pan fried noodle. It had shrimp, chicken and calamari in it but it was just so full of flavor. If I lived closer that would be a meal I'd eat weekly. Restaurant is nicely laid out and the staff were very friendly and helpful when navigating the menu. We'll definitely be back. read more

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. read more

This is my first time trying Burmese food. Now I want to book a trip to Myanmar. Two words come to mind clean and bright. Those are the kind of flavors you can expect. The crispy tofu with salad stuffing was very delicious and refreshing fried tofu stuffed with cabbage and other goodies. The tea salad was another one of my favorites, fermented tea leaves tossed with cabbage, some peanuts. Fried garlic and tomatoes was such a refreshing dish. Definitely a must order when you visit here. The fried calamari was perfect, crispy, but very late with jalapeños and other peppers and nice chili dipping sauce. Plenty of street parking also a big city parking lot about half a block away. Service was impeccable since this was our first time here our server made great recommendations. Definitely be back. read more

First of all, the staff is amazing. The hostess, the bartender, the waitress, the food runners, they were all attentive and friendly. The vibes inside were mellow and relaxed, there was no pressure to order or eat quickly. The drinks were strong and tasty. We didn't have reservations but were seated almost immediately on a Friday evening (maybe the first warning sign?). I recommend making reservations if you have a group larger than 2 people. Now the food, eh. It was bland. The ingredients were there, but just barely. I called it an introduction to Asian flavors. Nothing had spice which is weird because I could see the peppers used. I recommend the restaurant solely for the drinks and vibes. Maybe get food elsewhere. read more

Really good restaurant in Chinatown. My friend and I went for dinner and drinks, she said it was really good but this was my first time going. A lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. The whole staff was really great working around my friend and I'd allergies. Everyone was attentive, sweet, and efficient. Water was always full, drinks came promptly, both of ours were delicious. Food didn't take long either, it was piping hot and fresh. I enjoyed the chicken and basmati rice but I could have shared with someone! Portions are very large so come hungry or be prepared to take some home. Atmosphere inside is clean, quiet, and could be quite intimate for a couple. I'd definitely like to come back. read more

Scoped this place out while we were wandering around Chinatown in the afternoon and returned the next evening for dinner. Feels classy and modern with dim lighting and welcoming decor. Service was pleasant. Water tasted weird. Mai tai was delicious, and the food was incredible. We shared an eggplant curry and Shan noodle dish, and the flavors were so perfect it was hard to stop eating past comfortable. Great spot for a date night or a celebration or for any regular old dinner. read more

So nice to have Burmese food in Hawaii! The ambience was great, the food delicious, nice options, tea leaf salad could be either romaine or cabbage and we got the cabbage option, which I haven't had before. It was tasty! Loved the unique flavors of the mango curry- had it with bread :) the cocktails had nice options but wish there was one or two more vodka based options instead of rum (I'm just not a rum fan...) read more

I always really like my tea salad from Dagon, but I sometimes forget Rangoon also has tea salad. I'm a fan. I'm really a fan of all the food I've tried here. I like that Rangoon is a larger restaurant that still feels cozy. Maybe it's the decor or the fact that they always seat parties kinda close together by the door, but whatever it is, I like it. The servers here are really nice and friendly. They helped us choose cocktails that were delicious and relatively inexpensive. I came with three other people and we got a variety of things to share. I really liked the pumpkin stew, the myeik pan fried noodles and the samosas. I definitely want to come back to try other things on the menu. It all looks so good! There is street parking, but it can get difficult to find parking if there is an event going on nearby. I also like that they were open pretty late. It seems like some places in Chinatown close too early. read more

They serve delicious food at this Burmese restaurant in Chinatown. The interior is small but nicely decorated. Service was prompt and friendly. We had the mango salad, pineapple fried rice and oh no khaoswe. After spending the morning at Foster Botanical Garden we were pretty tired and didn't feel super hungry, but after our first bites everything tasted so good our appetites returned. The oh no khaoswe is one of the best I've had! read more

Dagon was excellent so wanted to give Rangoon a try. Made a reservation on Open Table and was seated at the worst table in the restaurant. Right by the front door and host stand. Room temperature tap water served in a reuseable bottle is unsanitary and classless. Made me wonder how the kitchen looked like. I suggest recommending bottle sparkling or still water like finer restaurants! Tea leaf salad was refreshing but lacked taste. Burmese sumosa was overfried and greasy. Garlic noodles were hard, bit undercooked and lacked garlic flavor. Pumpkin stew tasted like it was reheated, coconut rice was perfect. Biriyani was nicely presented and tasted the best out of all the dishes. We had a lot of left overs but server did not help box them like at Dagon. Server was not very friendly and hospitable at all. Bill was $132 with 20% tip cause I am gracious however I will never return! Dagon, under the same ownership is better in every aspect of my dining experience. read more

Excellent flavors. Earnest service. Vibrant atmosphere. We loved the Rangoon tea leaf salad (the one with the cabbage) and Burmese curry and potatoes with lamb. The basil with beef and garlic noodles with beef had great flavors but the beef was tough and seemed overcooked. That's the main reason for the loss of a star. We went a couple days after Valentine's Day, which clearly cleaned them out. We initially wanted the basil with chicken, garlic noodles with pork, and coconut rice. But we had to pivot because they were out of chicken, pork, and coconut rice. Crazy! But I'm not going to fault them for this and will call to check on ingredient availability next time. read more

We tried the samusas, platha, coconut curry with lamb, coconut rice, and garlic noodles with char siu pork. The samusas were perfectly crispy and had a pleasant hint of mint. The lamb was nicely cooked, but the coconut curry sauce was much heavier than I expected. The platha was brought to our table without any other dishes, which I found odd. Overall, a nice introduction to Burmese food. read more

The food was fantastic! We ordered the samusas, crispy tofu filled with salad, mango salad and platha for appetizers. Then got the Burmese Fish curry, pork belly with mustard greens, pineapple fried rice, and coconut rice. Everything was delicious. They do use fish sauce in their dishes and that's what makes it salty but it was all perfectly balanced. I could've stopped at the appetizers! I loved the freshness of the mango salad. I could eat it every day. The samusa are so good! And the crispy tofu is lovely. The portion sizes are good and we had a party of 4 and shared everything. If you love roti from Indian food, you'll want more platha! Everything was cooked just right. Nothing overcooked. Fish was just right. Highly recommend eating the coconut rice with the pork belly. Service was great! Quick and efficient. The appetizers came out fast. They give you a water jug if you have more people. We ordered the food after we finished our appetizers and it came out quickly too! Ambiance is nice and relaxing. Not too many tables to feel super crowded and even when it got full, it wasn't super noisy. Recommend! They do take reservations!! read more

What a wonderful place to dine and enjoy food some have never tried befor , this was my first time here , I really wish it wasn't, the food was amazing, the kitchen staff really know what they are doing with the chicken curry I had , if you love spices and spicy food let your server know! Sarah and all the waiting staff knows what to recommend if you tell them what you like and the kitchen staff like Sam and all of them back there can really make you wonder "WHERE HAS THIS FLAVOR BEEN ALL MY LIFE ! " . I'll definitely be back with my family and friends 10 out of 10 chef ! . read more

Overall average experience here. The parking situation was not great. We had to drive around a couple of times before finding a metered street parking spot. They only had one high chair, which was being used by another family when we visited. We luckily grabbed it when that family left but had to deal with a wandering toddler until then. They have a large selection of vegetarian options and our waitress helped us by selecting a few more popular options. Yelpers raved about the tea leaf salad so we decided to try it and it was delicious and unique! It comes with crispy beans and a mix of many vegetables. We also shared coconut curry with tofu and rangoon fried rice with veggie and tofu. The portion sizes are large. I thought the dishes were overall average. Our waitress did not ask if we had preferred spice levels but would definitely consider getting a medium level here as the dishes came out very mild. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday night with a group of 6. There was no wait since we arrived early and street parking wasn't hard to find. Service was very slow at first but they let us know they were understaffed. The food was great and we ordered a lot of different dishes to share! The drinks came out really slowly throughout the night. My favorites were the lemongrass prawn, calamari and the pan fried noodles. Everything was a hit and we all left super full! Overall it was a little pricey but it was great to try all the different dishes! Hopefully service gets better but otherwise it's a nice little spot. read more

Food is delicious here! If you like indian food, you will appreciate this cuisine. Must have the biryani!

Ordered Basil Chicken and Nan Gyi Thoke (rice noodles w/coconut chicken). Dishes come out "family style" so you can share the food. The basil chicken was very tasty, so much flavor that we ordered a coconut rice. The combination of the coconut rice with the basil chicken was a winner. The rice was on the clumpy/sticky side so as to soak up and hold the flavor - a winning combination! The more I ate of the basil chicken, the flavor became overpowering to the extent that it was salty. Just keep that in mind. The rice noodles with coconut chicken didn't have as strong a flavor but as you continue to eat more of it, the flavor builds and becomes better. As the sauce is on the watery side, it would help to offset the strength of the basil chicken, but the flavors may not necessarily 'match' if you're picky about your food. It's been about an hour since we finished our meal and my wife and I both noticed that our tongues feel like we had too much salt. Should've had something sweet after dinner to help offset the saltiness. The reason for the three star rating is because the noodle dish was lukewarm-warm when it came out - not good quality control. However, the waitress was nice enough to take it back and have a new one made for us. It came out piping hot! We would most definitely order the basil chicken dish and coconut rice again. Maybe two orders of the rice to one order of the basil chicken. The interior is with low, lighting which gives it a casual, relaxed feeling. The seats are all wood and became a bit uncomfortable while sitting for an extended period of time. Casual attire is fine. Since this restaurant is located in downtown Chinatown, parking on the street may be difficult to find, but there are parking lots in the vicinity. read more

Rangoon Burmese Kitchen - One side of menu - Burmese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Glad to report that food remains consistent after many years. My favorite is still the tea leaf salad and the pumpkin stew. Less stars than prior review mostly due to their service. We were not aware of the automatic tip added on to the bill and it was not itemized. Food came out really fast but drinks took a while. They do serve alcohol and corkage fee is "it depends on the owner". The air circulation is also pretty poor at the restaurant so all of us were sweating on a pretty cool Hawaii winter night. read more

I took my parents here as mom is looking more for vegetarian options . They have tried Burmese food . I'm glad to say that the Burmese food is almost on par with California. From my parents , they said it adds a freshness to their palette . Food wasn't as greasy . Staff were great and attentive with refilling water . Decor does transport you to South East Asia Located on Nuannu avenue , a primal location for walkability and other businesses . The only critique I have is the tea leaf salad . The lettuce isn't chopped as finely and it requires more tea to my taste. I also did not know there's a Burmese version of biryani . My favorite was the biryani with platha and the crispy and steamy samusa Dishes we had: BURMESE SAMUSA Hand wrapped with potato, onion, mint leat, green pea, spices, garlic chili sauce. SALT & PEPPER CALAMARI Lightly battered and wok tossed with sall, black pepper, onion, jalapeño, bell pepper, coriander.
