This place never fails to impress me. The food was so delicious. The coconut lamb curry is my favorite. Not to mention the tea salad and baked hot pot which I cannot remember the name. I always enjoy the rice on the side.

Amazing place one of my favorites, but when they don’t update their hours of operation and don’t answer the phone it is quite the turn the off for a restaurant of their caliber.

We have dined at this restaurant many times. The food is very good and tasty. The platha curry dip, coconut curry with chicken, and the tea leaf salad are our favorites. The one down side of this restaurant is one of the long-time servers. She will always take liberties with our order. For example, we ask for a side of bread to go with the curry, but she orders a double portion. Another time we asked for a side of steamed rice, but she brought us a full fried rice dish and said that's what she heard. Overall I would recommend the restaurant for the food.

Tasty Burmese food in Honolulu Chinatown. We chose it because it offers plenty of vegetarian and even some vegan options. I had the plant-based tea leaf salad and their Shan Shan noodles with tofu. Generous serving sizes, good value for money given the Hawaiian prices.A bit of a downturn was the service, the appetizers (samosas) were brought after my partner received his entree, and we weren‘t notified about it before. My entree came also later than his. Also, we really had to wave them down to refill our drinks.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian dishes, some are vegan

My husband and I were visiting his family on Oahu and met up with a local friend to dine here. Our friend usually orders the tea leaf salad as takeout and since I'm Burmese, asked us to try this place out for its authenticity and taste. We were seated right away at opening on a weekday. We ordered 7 dishes: tea leaf salad, platha with curry, Mo Hin Ga (fish chowder), noodle coconut soup, traditional Burmese beef curry, chicken biryani, and Burmese Indian rice. Tea leaf salad: 4 stars for taste & 3.5 for authenticity. It could use less lettuce and more tea leaf and chili. Platha w curry: 5 stars. The platha was perfection. Beautifully toasted, crispy and fluffy. Better than the curry dip itself. Mo Hin Ga (fish chowder): 4 stars. Tasty, accurately prepared. However, on the salty side and could use more fish. Portion was on the smaller side too for the price it's listed. Noodle coconut soup: I can't really rate this as I usually don't eat this dish but it was tasty, just on the salty side similar to the fish chowder. Portion was small too. My husband liked this dish and he's not even a coconut fan. Burmese beef curry: 5 stars. This was so delicious and reminded me of how my late Pay Pay (Dad) would cook this. The beef was so tender and the curry was great, too. I hope this dish is consistently prepared to this tasting so that everyone can enjoy what we enjoyed on this day! Chicken Biryani: I wish I tried more of this but was so full already. From what I remember, it was very good and I'd order it again just so I can better rate this. Burmese Indian side rice: 2.5 stars. We ordered this to eat w the Burmese beef curry. It was $10 and the dish was so small. It wasn't warm and was on the dry side. We won't order this again if we return. All in all, the dishes were tasty and many worth trying again. Next time we'll probably try more of the noodle dishes like the nan gyi thoke or the shan noodle. FYI- the dishes are small and could be shared if you and your party want to try several dishes. Could also be a personal dish. Service: We were not impressed. The waitress was cordial and attentive but maybe it's a cultural barrier (she seemed to be from Europe?). When my friend handed her credit card for payment while simultaneously asking for the check, the waitress seemed annoyed or bothered and rudely said "don't do that, I will bring the blah blah blah to you." We didn't understand why she snapped as we were a positive, polite and friendly group of 3. All we did was ask for the check. Then 5 mins later she brought over the portable card slider and took our payment. We were dumbfounded why she acted the way she did. I think maybe she was not having the best of day so I'd like to hope she doesn't treat someone else like this. Otherwise she knew the dishes well and I am sure is an asset to the establishment. I got photos of a few dishes. Forgot to snap the rest.
I have been to Rangoon 3 times and have never been disappointed. The food is great and very flavorful and has a lot of bang for your buck. The service is great, the wait staff was very attentive. The ambiance makes me happy to be in the restaurant, a very pleasant atmosphere. In fact we are going back on Saturday for a birthday celebration with some friends. This has fast become our go-to place.

Seafood would let me. It was like a child of Indian, and Thai, however, the waitress well, all of them had a severe case of attitude. Not sure why it was towards the end of their shift, but we even joked about it how bad the attitude was. However, I will be going back multiple times for the food. I don’t even care about that
We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we visited twice during our Honolulu trip. There is paid parking near the restaurant. We were seated immediately, and the staff was friendly with quick service. We ordered mango salad, garlic noodles, pineapple fried rice, mango curry, coconut rice, and paratha. All the dishes tasted good, and even the kids enjoyed the food

Wow this was so bad. The place was pretty busy and there was obviously not enough staff, so we waited for like 45 minutes for our food. When our dishes came out, they were stone cold. The paratha was ok and the curry dipping sauce was good. However, the fish curry was terrible, lacked seasoning, tasted super fishy in a bad way, the fish was super bony and tough (completely overcooked cheap fish). The Shen noodles were a gluey mess because it'd been sitting out so long, and it had no seasoning.

Great find in China town. The food was incredible something for everyone. Family style so a few dishes and it will feed 4.
