This is a locally owned, family-run "mom & pop" gem that has been rooted in the Kailua community since the 80s, and you can really feel that aloha spirit the moment you walk in. It is my absolute go-to spot whenever I have friends or family visiting. The Food: The menu is packed with authentic Hawaii flavors. My personal favorite is the **Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict**. It is consistently perfect. They also have incredible specials; I once had a **Kalbi Loco Moco** that was absolutely heavenly. Whether you're going for their famous guava chiffon pancakes or their housemade corned beef hash, you really can't go wrong. The Service: Despite being a busy staple, the service is always top-notch. The staff is attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful. They have a great way of anticipating what you need before you even have to ask, which makes the whole dining experience feel seamless and welcoming. Tips for Visitors: * **Plan Ahead:** This place is a favorite for locals and tourists alike, so it can get busy very quickly, especially on weekends! * **Hours:** Keep in mind they specialize in breakfast and lunch. * **Atmosphere:** It's casual and family-friendly. If you want a real taste of local comfort food served with love, this is the place. Mahalo to the Nam family for keeping the quality so high for all these years!

The restaurant itself felt pretty dated with poor ventilation and old carpeting. There were also flies everywhere constantly getting on the food, which was super annoying. The spam meal was decent, but honestly nothing you couldn't make at home in a few minutes. I also ordered the catch of the day, but it tasted more like the catch of the week. Fish was tough, lacked flavor, and the rice was caked up. The one standout was the guava pancake, which was extremely good and probably the best thing we ordered. Overall though, probably wouldn't come back again anytime soon.

I do love Lilikoi…read more.. So you know I was surprised to see a beautifully painted building of a surfer girl, octopus tentacles and cute classic VW bus and had to see what was there and it's located right down the street from the Aloha Home Market which is the reason I was in Kailua and after a bit of browsing I got hungry and knew I had to see what Lilikoi Kitchen had to offer. Slightly confused as it shares a small space with a tattoo parlor though walking in the do make the most of the space as there's a service area where there's two ladies doing it all and immediately informed me that it will take approximately 25 minutes for any orders which is great to know upfront. Menu is quite impressive for this cute cafe and though there are many items that caught my cravings it has to have Lilikoi...right!? Monte Cristo is ham, provolone cheese with Lilikoi jam grilled between Japanese style white bread and Lilikoi Iced Tea is the perfect pairing on this Sunday afternoon and gosh what a treat! The cheese pull was insane and the grill was done with perfect marks as you can see it wasn't rushed and grilled perfectly and I loved that it came with some greens and of course Lilikoi dressing...yum! There are some high bar type seating inside but decided that the outside was much more comfy and really enjoyed it all the iced tea was perfectly balance with Lilikoi, the wait can be avoided with a phone order but I rarely plan that early and had no idea it even existed but will be back for the other items. Thank you!

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! Can't beat 2 fat burritos for under $40.

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.

The space is a bit small and parking can be a little tricky, but it is absolutely worth it.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole visit even better. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you happen to come across this spot.

I have been on the hunt for an egg bagel which seems to be quite rare in Hawaii. I found Tali's…read moreBagels and Schmear at the Ward farmers market but didn't realize their Kailua location made egg flavored bagels. Well I decided to do an early morning drive from town to Kailua to see how many I could get. I lucked out with getting 6 egg bagels! I am also a fan of everything bagels and decided to get an awe zhuga zhuga bagel sandwich and a bagel with the mesugah schmear. Then an egg bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. I was surprised at how dense and burnt the everything bagel was compared to the soft fluffy egg bagel. I am glad we didn't get too many of those everything bagels because the burnt edges really threw off the rest of the sandwiches and weren't as enjoyable to eat. The inside is spacious but not so many seats. The parking lot has very narrow stalls and is narrow for navigating with a car coming the opposite way. Thankfully I was there to just run in and pick up the bagels. Wish the town location had egg bagels!

The cashier/order-taker was very patient, and kind. As it was our first time, thoughtfully went through the menu with us. We snagged the last B.E.C. and S.E.C. for the day and it did not disappoint. Your choice of protein, choice of bagel, also comes with scrambled eggs and cheese. Also decided to try their bialy which is like a bagel, but instead of the hole, it has a filling. To which I tried their seasonal special - pumpkin spice and cream cheese, so tasty!! As for the Israeli iced coffee, it has a slushy consistency with a dirty chai-like taste to it. Not my personal fave, but my other half loved it. Overall, the bagels are nice and chewy, not too hard. And the schmears are very tasty/complimentary as well. I can see why they have been voted the best bagels in Hawaii. Keep on doing what you're doing and I'm excited to come back to try the next seasonal flavor!
