We told the waitress and recieved an apology and 10% reduction and you can see she was trying her best to maybe short staffed

    We made our reservation just 30 min before the reservation time. On arriving, we were taken aback that they did not have a table for us and the restaurant was full with ppl eating before going to a show nearby. The greeter/waitress suggested to hang around & they would call us when a table became ready, anticipating people would leave for the show soon. There is no real waiting area. After a while we did see that tables were emptying. We walked in and did get seated. Staff was very busy catching up and closing out the patrons for the theater, but once things quieted down it was fine. Note that this is the closest "nice" restaurant near the theater and there are not many similar options though several casual eateries nearby. This was the 2nd time in 2 days we ate here, the first being a much quieter luncheon service. That good. Yes, the tea salad with cabbage is excellent, and we also had garlic noodles w/ shrimp, pan fried noodles, mango curry, and lamb bihirani, all good. Spice level is mild to moderate. Also note that why we really liked the tea salad, it includes crunchy toasted lentils that are a little tough on the teeth, especially the second time when there was a lot of this ingredient. But overall the dish is so delicious; we crunched our way through everything. Will go back for more dishes, but beware that they might not be paying attention to their reservations.

    We have our favorite dishes and they did not disappoint. In fact taste and quality of the Coconut Rice and Eggplant Curry were above on point this evening! It was busy but not frenetic so noise level was ok and an enjoyable conversation was had. Will return again!

    This place was a pleasant surprise. We all loved our meals and the service was spectacular. We will be going again. The only negative was we sat in the back and the acoustics weren't great. Very loud. It appeared that the front was not as bad. But don't let that stop you. Honestly, the food was superb. Very unique and there was something for everyone's tastes. The portion sizes were also very generous.

    We have our favorite dishes, Eggplant Curry, Coconut Rice, Coconut Curry with Vegetables that don't dissapoint. The eggplant dish varies time to time, depending on the eggplant type and spices, but it's always great! Service is attentive most of the time. We're repeat diners usually before or after a Hawaii Theater event. A perfect combination!

    I’m really disappointed in Rangoon these days… To start, the service is horrendous! If we return we will request that the young lady with the long dark hair is not serving us. We’ve actually had this conversation with the restaurant staff in the past as well. We usually see her serving the back part of the restaurant. Nothing was coming out quickly at our 5:15p reservation. Not the food, nor the drinks. And when I say quickly. I mean we waited and waited…. It actually doesn’t do any good to provide “good” food when the staff is blatantly rude and super slow. Come on Rangoon, let’s do better!

    The food offering here is something you don't find at many other spots in Hawaii. We did it family style for a large party of 10 and we thought the food was amazing, the service was great, and they stored our ice cream cake we had bought for my mom in their freezer while we ate. Overall everyone was happy.

    Wonderful hidden gem. The food is incredible! Flavorful, delicious, and bright. We did note that it was a birthday on the reservation and that was completely disregarded which was unfortunate. The service was also rather slow for not being very busy, however we never ran out of water, so that’s a plus!
