Brick Fire Tavern

Brick Fire Tavern is known for their Neapolitan style pizza and brick oven. The pizza crust is thin and the edges blister giving it a nice crunch. For lunch you can get a mini pizza and side salad for under $15. During happy hour, the mini pizzas are about $8. My favorites are the funghi pizza and Sal's carbonara. The pizzas are really good but the service is slow. Sometimes they get really busy and they tend to forget you but just be patient and wave them over when you need something. I recommend coming for the lunch special or happy hour because the pizzas are pricey.

It is best to walk here or get dropped off since there aren't too many parking options. Nuuanu Ave or Bethel Street are the closest for street parking but getting a space is tough. The nearest parking lot is inside the Chinatown Gateway Plaza on Bethel Street.

Rangoon Burmese Kitchen

Rangoon Burmese Kitchen is located in downtown Honolulu in the former space of Restaurant Epic. The food here is a mix of Thai and Indian so you get a lot of nice smells from the spices used in each dish. The taste of the food was good and it reminded me more of Thai food because I ordered items that were stir fried. The prices are reasonable and they give a decent portion. The service was a bit slow; they only had 2 waiters and it was tough trying to get their attention. It's best to avoid the peak lunch and dinner hours because it gets busy and the kitchen gets backed up.

I recommend coming with a group of 4-6 people so you can order a bunch of dishes to share and making reservations in advance. The restaurant interior is open and spacious but the noise can get loud if it's crowded. For parking, there is metered street parking on Nuuane Ave. The closet parking lots would be Mark's Garage or one of the Chinatown Municipal Parking Lots.
