The food is delicious here! We got eggplant curry, coconut curry, chili tofu (pretty spicy), golden tofu and shan noodles. Our favorite was eggplant curry! I really liked the house made golden tofu with yellow split pea skin.

Be warned, the hot is HOT. The Tea Leaf salad is to die for.

Some of the worst and most inadequate service I've experienced in a while. Server left the floor several times and ignored customers and or kept them waiting

The food is good here but the service is terrible. I believe the server name was Mykayla. She was not interested in serving us and not friendly at all. We were taking out family on the last night on the islands . She left a bad impression on our family and it put a bad ending to a wonderful trip. She treated us like children and was not professional at all. I would not recommend coming to this restaurant. The service is horrible

I had dinner with my family, and when I complained about the burnt bread, they responded immediately, but the staff did not respond well after that. If my father ever asked me to come here again, I wouldn't.

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.

Absolutely phenomenal food. Their spicy lamb, while not that spicy, had exceptional flavor sending my overly hard to please father-in-law into a spiral of positivity! Even their simple coconut rice dish had the perfect balance of flavors.Not particularly child-friendly, but the food was astounding enough to warrant some errant rice and samosa flakes on my lap while holding my child.

I had high hopes when I went to this restaurant. But the food was starchy and uninteresting, the service was only a tiny notch above "cafeteria" and the atmosphere was similar. If this place was super-cheap I would see its allure, but it is not. I won't be repeating.

Come enjoy the pumpkin stew, delicately seasoned kambucha squash. In a break from type, the music is of a distinctly southern acoustic sort, think Nathaniel Rateliffe.

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!

For those who like Asian cuisine
A restaurant you should try♪

In particular, the Dagon Tee Leaf salad has a unique taste and texture.
Curry, rice, noodles, you can't go wrong no matter what you eat♪
You should be able to adjust the spiciness...?

And BYOB is great for drinkers✨
You can bring your own favorite alcohol♪
