Dash of Sazon is a culinary treasure trove where the vibrant flavors of Latino and Caribbean cuisine come to life. With a menu that spans the rich and diverse culinary traditions of these regions, every bite is a journey through taste and culture. The authenticity and attention to detail in both food and ambiance create an immersive dining experience that feels like a warm embrace.
Awesome and unique mix of pervian/Jamaican food that you couldn't find anywhere else if you tried. Everything we had was great, especially the beef and chicken empanadas and the pork shoulder pernil. The margaritas were also great, and there's a nice selection of cocktails and beer. Definitely coming back for more! Thanks!
Alright, so there's this new spot that just popped up in Chinatown Honolulu that y'all gotta check out – it's called Dash of Sazon. I swung by last week, curious and hungry, and boy, did it deliver! First off, the place has this cool, eclectic vibe, blending Chinatown's history with a fresh twist. Now, onto the good stuff: the food. My taste buds did a full-on happy dance with those Chicken Empanadas. Crispy on the outside, and bursting with flavor on the inside. And if you're in the mood for something a bit richer, you can't skip the Curry Chicken Plate. It's the right mix of spicy and savory, and had me scraping up every last bit. Oh, and shoutout to the Jamaican Rum Cake. It's got this rich flavor, perfectly moist, and I swear you can taste the love they pour into baking it. Speaking of Jamaican delights, the Jamaican Oxtail and Jerk Chicken were legit. The oxtail was tender and fell off the bone, and that jerk chicken? Spicy, smoky goodness! They also had this Guava & Cheese Empanada which, if I'm being real, I could probably eat a dozen of. Sweet, tangy guava paired with creamy cheese wrapped in a crispy shell? Yes, please. For those leaning towards a lighter fare, the Jerk Chicken with Kale Salad is a must-try. A perfect blend of spicy chicken with the fresh crunch of kale. And before I forget, the Puerto Rican Fried Chicken Plate. Man, it was like a trip to San Juan with every bite. Crispy, seasoned to perfection, and had me daydreaming of beach days and salsa music. In a nutshell, if you're roaming around Chinatown and your stomach's giving you the signal, dash into Dash of Sazon. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
Really good food. Husband had the fried chicken which was so flavorful and juicy. I had the jerk chicken and Sauteed kale. The spice level was just right. The kale was marinated to perfection. To top it off the rum cake was amazing and moist.
Overall a 10/10, cannot wait to go back! Customer service was excellent and efficient. The Chicha Morada was a 10/10 and the Parcha Lilikoi Spritzer was a 7.4/10. My oxtail plate was absolutely delicious and fell off the bone, 9.7/10. The Curry Chicken had the perfect kick to it and the chicken was juicy and seasoned to perfection, 9.5/10. The beef and chicken empanadas are the definition of handcrafted perfection 9.8/10. For the desserts, the Tres Leches was hands down a 10/10, Jamaican Rum Cake 8.7/10, and the Guava and Cheese Empanadas 200/10 that flavor combination is unmatched. Parking is available about a block away at a lot, or you can park at the bigger parking garage a block and a half up the street near J Dolans. If your reading this, stop what your doing and get here, i promise you will thank me!!!!
