Dagon Burmese Cuisine

The staff was quick and to the point. I wouldn't consider her friendly or knowledgeable on what to recommend. The food was good and served quickly. The salad was on the crunchy side and not my preferred item. The samosa, spicy chili and the kebat were delicious. I didn't care for the pumpkin stew either. The parking is limited in the little alley way entrance right before the restaurant if coming from King and University.

We got reservations for a rainy Monday night. The service was excellent and the food amazed! Best food on Oahu so far and best food in a while in general. We had the mango curry which was very flavorful but not overly sweet. The appetizer combo filled us up and the tea leaf salad didn’t disappoint. Too bad we are leaving Oahu or else we would be back way too often!

The food was excellent, especially enjoyed the dagon tea leaf salad and the coconut curry. One waitress for 13 tables, approximately 50 guests and then she was also running around answering the phone for takeout is pretty ridiculous. 15 minutes passed and she dropped off water and then another 10 minutes and we finally placed the order. The food came out efficiently, fortunately. Should be at least 2 waitresses and a manager/owner used as a floater to fulfill takeout orders, answer phone, expedite food. Usually I would have walked out if not greeted for that long but I stayed cause I wanted to try the food and it is very good.

Everything was absolutely delicious and service was efficient We ordered the Dagon Salad (fresh, crunchy, garlicky) yellow curry with Potatoes and Lamb (tender, flavorful lamb and delicious curry) and the red curry with eggplant which had such a rich, complex, umami flavor to it! Eggplant was cooked perfectly and served in generous big slices Despite being a busy and reservation filled night, the host and server was very nice and worked out a table for us. I’ll definitely be back with friends!
