After much anticipation due to them being closed for the holidays and working through figuring out…read moretheir schedule, we finally got a chance to head over to their evening location for a taste of that fresh Big Island lobster! They park their truck in what I overheard is on the property of one of their friends (what a cool friend!) and as such there isn't really much ambience on the street - next door there is a dive bar and there's not much else going on in the evenings, but they get credit for at least putting out some charming tables out front for customers, and making the best to work with what they've got. I ordered the combo, lobsta roll + lobster bisque. On a chilly night this hit the spot. The lobster was definitely fresh, although I felt like the roll took away from the flavor on some bites. Maybe the lobster wasn't packed in like I'm used to but hey, quality over quantity is okay by me. The bisque didn't blow me away but it was solid. Service was friendly and prompt, and I appreciate their efforts in using compostables over single use plastics (aside from the admittedly cute lobster pinned on top of the sandwich, which might i suggest to make this more Ocean Friendly by making it a paper flag)? I'm always mindful of the impact of single use trash/plastics guys, if you haven't noticed from my previous reviews. With all that said, I appreciate their use and support of locally caught lobsters which not only supports our local fisherman but also ensures the freshest and therefore most delicious seafood option, and for that they have my support. Totally worth their reasonable prices for what you get. I'll be back again when the craving for lobster rolls rolls back in, although their poke does look pretty bomb diggity so maybe I will try that too! Maybe this time I'll check 'em out in the daytime at their other location - I have a feeling the daytime vibe will feel more energetic!

Let me start by I wasn't expecting too much. I ended up driving around a couple times cuz I didn't…read moreknow where they were located but once I found the truck it was situated in a parking lot with plenty of parking. They have a nice set up with a table and some chairs under an umbrella in case you decide you want to eat there. I ordered their lobster roll and lobster bisque combo for $20. The lobster bisque came out in a small to go cup and was served with a small toasted square of Kings sweet bread and some fresh herbs. The bisque was good with chunks of lobster meet, a creamy stock, and a little bit of cauliflower. I was surprised by this but I ended up liking it as it added some texture without taking away from the lobster. The lobster roll was served on a perfectly toasted Kings roll with a side of lemon. The lobster tasted like it was grilled with butter and then they add some greens, radish sprouts, and a little but of egg salad. It seemed like he used a whole lobster for the lobster roll (albeit a small one) as there was a healthy mix of tail and claw meet. I liked how he added some egg salad and again it added a surprise to the roll without taking away the focus from the lobster. I ended up ordering another roll and left pleasantly full. I spent some time talking to Dustin afterwards and he's still trying to get the feel for things and he's also trying to figure out where he'll set up in town. He expects business to pick up significantly when he does but for now hurry up and head over to his Kailua spot before word gets out and you have to wait in line.

Honestly I would not worry about trying to park in the actual parking lot. I would find a place and walk there. Enjoy the beauty of Kailua and call it a day, especially since there aren't tables to sit and dine in. We bought 5 mini poke bowls. Honestly that option and portion is perfect if you aren't super hungry but hungry enough. So 5 mini bowls, 3 sodas with tax $83.67 The rice is so good! The spicy Thai was amazing. We loved the Ahi and added the roasted sesame sauce on it, tons of onions. Love! The Tobiko absolutely delicious. Could be spicier! Same with the Thai. The Limu was good. I understand it's the most popular, but I think the others we had were better. It was good we all enjoyed the others better. Cannot wait to come back!

Actually receiving our food took a little over 30 mins but it was a weekend and they were slammed! I'd happily wait every time because the burritos really are that good. Food: nothing tastes better than a konos burrito in a to go bag on the beach. I'm a huge fan of the chorizo burrito add avocado & my husband devours the pork one!

I'm a business owner and to me customer service matters more than anything, even when the experience isn't perfect. Kono's stepped up. Everything went well from order through delivery, and the Tube Bagel was fresh and delicious. They were out of something, but called to offer a choice of substitutions. I would share a photo but it's currently passing through my digestive system and not feeling very photogenic at the moment. Ignore that silly disgusting mess attached to my original review, but I will leave the photos up because I think they are instructive for management. Mission Accomplished Kono's Kailua! Not a criticism but I couldn't communicate with the Uber Eats driver through the website app. Whoever it was found me.

If you think you've had malasadas before, this one in Kailua will make you rethink your…read moreassumptions--and maybe your topology. Instead of the usual solid sphere situation, this malasada is a torus, complete with a legitimate central hole. It's not just aesthetic; it's deliciously functional. More surface area means more outer crunch, and the math checks out. Fresh out of the fryer, the increased perimeter-to-volume ratio delivers maximum Maillard reaction per bite. The exterior achieves a near-perfect golden-brown crisp, while the interior remains chewy and toothsome--soft, elastic, and deeply satisfying. It's a beautiful example of form following function, where geometry directly improves flavor. Eat it hot. Like, immediately hot. Any delay introduces unnecessary variables into an otherwise elegant equation. This is malasada topology at its finest: crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and proof that sometimes the hole really does make the donut better.
