A trip to the North shore is not complete without a stop here for lunch. The Kalua pork here is delicious. Always lean and tender. I highly recommend the plate with macaroni. The pork is seasoned perfectly. Seating is limited, so avoid busy times if you want a seat. Will be back when we visit Oahu again. Mahalo! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning and opted to order online ahead, luckily we did because when we came in to pick up our order, there was a line maybe 3-4 people ahead that hadn't ordered or been seated yet. Maybe they were short staffed this day? By the time a worker came over and asked if anyone was here for online pick up, I was the only one luckily so I was able to get our order and go. We got a smoothie, two burritos and the biscuits and gravy. One of our burritos were on the oily side and was dripping a lot of oil when we ate it. The salsa that comes with them is a nice touch! I'd prob return to give them another try if I'm in the area! read more

Absolutely delicious food. We got one of the bummer breakfast burritos with avocado and sour cream added to the chorizo egg potato mix, phenomenal flavor, everything was fresh and tasty. The second meal was pork sliders. They were so deliciously flavorful! Services quick and there are lots of places to sit down. Sound was not too loud, and everyone was friendly! read more

Chat GPT recommended we stop here on a day trip to the north shore. We are in surfer heaven so of course the vibe was super chill. We ordered Kalua Pig Nachos, a Quesadilla, Kailua Pork Sliders with 12 hour slow roasted kalua pulled pork and a Hawaiian Bowl. Everyone loved it all but the Pork Nachos were everyone's favorite. Our server recommended the Breakfast Bombers and wish we would have tried them, but there was only so much we could eat. Will have to try them if I make it back. read more

My dad and I were driving all around the parking lot looking for this spot, but it's along the road so just park and walk around and you'll find it like we did. We sat outside and I noticed a lot of flies and chickens which was kind of annoying! Luckily they have indoor seating! I ordered the plate lunch and it arrived while I was at my car grabbing a sweater to eat inside. My dad said the rooster literally jumped on my plate and grabbed a bite before being shooed away by the restaurant worker. She took the plate away and proceeded to make me a new plate (which was absolutely YUMM). And of course we ate inside! It's a bit chilly in there for someone who runs cold like me so I was glad to have my cardigan! read more

Heading to Waimea Beach and looking for a quick bite. We spot Kono's with great reviews and who doesn't like a breakfast burrito? We find parking in the lot nearby as it is quite large so that was smooth. Go around the corner and find Kono's...no line and there are tables/seats available outside (be prepared to dine with chickens) and even inside. We order the Haleiwa, Waimea, and Local Bomber burritos and this is where things turn. We wait...and wait...and wait..approximately 1 hour for our food! Wow. I get folks are on island time but this is crazy. That said the burritos are quite tasty... so can't complain about that. If you are in a hurry (and yes we wanted to get to the beach early to score parking) then you may want to look at alternatives. read more

We shared a Pork Plate and there was plenty for both of us for a decent lunch. We arrived 10 minutes prior to closing yet they were very accommodating. They were out of rice, but provided potato's instead and I am so glad they did!! The potatoes are AMAZING!! The pulled pork is very tender, most, and flavorful! Some of the best pulled pork I've had!! The inside only has three small tables so we had to sit outside on a rainy day on damp chairs - absolutely not the fault of the restaurant - I only wish they had more indoor seating! Highly recommended and will be back before we go home!! read more

We saw the line for this place, and it was out the door on New Years Day! We grabbed a coffee from another shop and placed an online order for takeout because we were not about to wait in that line. Our order only took about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad considering how long the line was. We got the local bombed and kalua pig sliders. I've been to another Kono's location and have always been a fan of their food. Everything is so flavorful. The local bomber hit the spot - portugese sausage is my favorite meat, so I knew this one was going to be good. The Kalua pork was moist and the perfect amount of salty. I would definitely recommend trying Kono's! read more

During our visit to the North Shore, we tried Kono's for the first time, and I was not disappointed. The food options here are plentiful. They have a great variety of bowls, plates, and breakfast items, and everything looked super fresh and tasty. I ordered the Hawaiian Bowl ($14.99), and it was delicious! The pork was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. It paired so well with the white rice and cabbage. My all-time favorite part of the meal was the BBQ sauce they put on the side. I drowned my food in it, and it made the food even more tasty. My husband also enjoyed his food; he ordered the Pork Plate Lunch ($15.50). Service was good, too! The staff was friendly and welcoming, though they did seem a little annoyed because it took our party of 4 a little bit to figure out what we were all going to order since we had never been there before. Thankfully, the place was slow when we got there, so we weren't in anyone's way when we were standing in front of the counter looking at the menu for a while. Once we ordered, we sat down and got our food quickly. One of the coolest things about this place is their tattoo wall! If someone gets their flying pig logo tattooed, they get 25% off for life. It's such a fun and unique idea, which really adds to the personality of the place. I personally would never do that, but I love seeing the pictures of others haha. Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone who likes pork. read more

So good. Large portions, and the burritos are so big! Service is good. Sometimes fast and sometimes slower depending on the Time of the morning and time of the year. You can eat outside if you are lucky enough to find a table. But if not get a burrito which you can totally split in a half with someone and walk around and enjoy!! read more

During my visit I came here twice for the kalua pork! First time I got the chuns then the sandwich. Both were amazing. Service is nothing particularly impressive, but not rude either. It's a little place with 3 tables inside and outside. read more

I haven't been here in a while, and was in the area, soI decided to stop here for breakfast this morning because I was specifically craving the biscuits and gravy bomber. Unfortunately, the entire experience was incredibly disappointing. I ordered 2 bombers and a smoothie. While waiting, I overheard what appeared to be the manager tell an employee in the back that they needed more eggs. I get it, things run out and food has to be prepped. What I don't get is allowing customers to continue waiting without saying anything. I waited nearly 30 minutes for my food, and at no point did anyone let me or the other customers waiting know that there would be a significant delay because they were waiting on eggs. Had someone simply said, "We're waiting on eggs, so your order is going to take longer than usual," I could have decided whether I wanted to wait or get a refund and go somewhere else. Instead, we were left sitting there with no communication while the manager repeatedly had to remind the kitchen that she needed eggs. After that entire wait, my order was also made incorrectly. I ordered a biscuits and gravy bomber, but I was initially handed the biscuits and gravy plate. To their credit, they remade it as a bomber quickly once I pointed out the mistake, but by then I had already been waiting close to half an hour. What bothered me most was the response when I told the manager that, in the future, customers should be informed when something like this is going to cause such a long wait. She completely ignored me. No apology, no acknowledgment, nothing. I also watched her handle bacon with her bare hands while preparing food, which was concerning to see. I work in food service myself, so I understand that things happen. Kitchens get backed up, ingredients run out, and orders occasionally get made incorrectly. Basic communication and customer service are super important when those things happen. If I know an order is going to be significantly delayed, I let the customer know so they can make an informed decision about whether they want to wait. And if a customer brings a legitimate concern directly to me, I at least acknowledge them and apologize for the inconvenience. A wait is one thing; leaving customers sitting there without any communication is another. With the prices being what they are now, nearly 30 minutes waiting without warning, an incorrect order, concerning food handling, and then being completely ignored when I raised a reasonable concern made this a really disappointing experience. read more

I was working in the north shore and my colleague suggested taking us the breakfast at Kono's. I've seen them before but never had the chance to go. The location is on the small side. But the flavor it packs almost explodes out the door. We got there right before the rush. The 4 of us got there as people were leaving. When we left, more than triple the amount of people were waiting to sit. Most ordered and were waiting on their food. The guys who work here are pretty quick. We each got the chuns burrito. The choices are really good but played it safe for the first time going. Definitely big boy certified! They give a lot. Grease can drip so beware. Would definitely go back from any meal of the day! read more

I kinda knew the last time we went that this place wasn't worth the effort. It was just okay, but I wasn't going to leave a review either way. Today was enough for me to say that it has to be done. First the girl at the cash register couldn't muster a greeting or an anything. It seemed like she was mad at the money. I still tipped because I didn't want to screw the people preparing the food. Second the food took forever to come. Then the people behind me were getting their food ahead of me. Mind you I ordered their easiest burrito (potato, eggs and cheese) and a bagel. It took them 25 minutes to work the science behind defrosting a bagel I suppose. The person making it needed to look at the receipt 5 times to figure it out. Before she could get it together she had to change the TV channel. Third the food was basic. Not great and it took close to an 40 minutes to order and wait for it. Save the time and make a Jimmy dean sausage biscuit at home. Never again. Lesson learned. read more

Classic breakfast burrito spot It's either super crowded or empty. Roll the dice Schedule accordingly: Service is slow, even for Hawaiian standards. 45 minutes to get a burrito. Thank God for coffee refills. Get the burritos. That's what my partner did. I got the BEACH sand which and it was mediocre. The French roll should have been toasted but because it was not , the sando was wanting Very local feel with a bunch of tourists added in read more

I don't understand it. We got here pretty early and they were out of chicken, our quesadillas took over 25 minutes to get (I swear we have patience for island time) and the benches outside were on the verge of collapse if one more ant roamed the table top. This place could do so much better and it must have in another life with all these positive reviews. read more

Kono's was one of the best sandwich shops I've had, and the Triple Crown did not disappoint. The signature kalua pork was flavorful and tender. The sandwich itself was smoky, savory, and every bite was packed with flavor. This sandwich was a decent size and I was full after half. I was really amazed by the kalua pork, and would recommend if you are visiting the North Shore. Definitely a comforting, quick, and easy meal to grab and enjoy on the beach. read more

The first time we were in Hawaii we ate at the one downtown. We dreamed of the breakfast burrito. We were very happy to know there was another one near Northshore. We ordered the breakfast burritos and they did not disappoint. The son and DIL got one with chorizo and we got the one with pork. We ate outside and it was perfect. read more

Always enjoy their pulled pork plate. It's a musk. Have one going to Hawaii. The ambience is a cute little shop that has just a few seats and the service is usually pretty quick which I always appreciate. read more

My overall experience at Kono's was pretty solid! The staff were extremely friendly and helped with suggestions! The food was also delicious. The only complaint I have was there's little to no where to eat. They had a few seats around, but there were homeless people sitting at all the tables. So I had to find somewhere around the area to eat instead. read more

My husband loves their breakfast burritos, and to be fair, they're pretty big and filling. Personally, I think they're decent, but he's definitely the bigger fan in our household. They also have decent smoothie options, which is a nice addition if you want something refreshing on the side. One of the most unique things about this place is that you can actually get a discount for life if you get a tattoo of a surfing pig -- definitely a fun and memorable perk for loyal customers. The staff was friendly, and parking was easy, which made the whole visit smoother. Overall, it's a solid breakfast spot with some quirky charm and hearty portions. read more

Parking available but very busy in this area. There is online ordering available. They were out of sandwich bread but subbed with rolls. Sandwich and sliders are a bit messy so better to eat it in. Got the Kalua pig sliders and the triple crown sandwich. Kona mudslide milkshake was delicious as well. Good comes with Maui chips. A few tables to eat inside or outside. Only open for breakfast and lunch read more

When planning my trip to north shore, I found this restaurant as a highly rated spot. I don't typically eat pork but this place looked so promising that i decided to give in. Once we got there, we realized they only have outdoor seating so luckily it wasn't a rainy day. On the inside, they had a quirky sign and other humorous things posted. The staff were friendly and were doing the best they could with all the orders. I got the pulled pork sliders and my partner got the pulled pork nachos (which honestly feeds 2 people) so we were both stuffed by the end of it. Overall, I'd recommend this place to any pork lovers because it won't disappoint! read more

I enjoyed my visit to Kono's! When I first walked in, I didn't realize the menu was primarily pork-based which isn't usually my go-to. Thankfully, I was able to find a non-pork option, which I really appreciated. My partner enjoyed the food, especially the flavors and portions. While it wasn't totally my go to place due to it being pork-based, I can definitely see why it's a popular spot. read more

I don't what was wrong with the girl who took our order. But she had terrible service and was just straight up rude lol. Ruined my mood and put a bad taste in my mouth before I even got the food. The older lady is kind, but the younger girl needs better training or something. read more

I walked into this place not being sure what to expect as we just ran into it while being in the area. At first sight there isnt anything "special" you could say. However, whenever I travel I do pay attention when I see locals visiting a location. So we decided to grab breakfast here and was so glad we did. I got their basic breakfast burrito (bomber) but with not just a basic taste. The eggs, bacon, the salsa, it was so tasty and hot! The space isnt large but there are some tables inside and out for eating in or for take out. I ate in the shop but its a great option for to-go if you are doing the scenic drive. The staff was super friendly and very helpful as well. I will definitely be back to this place when I visit Oahu. read more

Still our favorite place to eat on the island! The pork is incredibly tender and flavorful, the rice is simple and comforting, and the real standout is the BBQ sauce, it's absolutely delicious. I honestly wish I had bought a bottle to take home! (Can I still get one?!?) This location is super convenient, though it has more of a casual, diner-style feel compared to their other spots. Totally fine by us, they were packed, so we decided to grab takeout instead. The outdoor seating is limited to a few picnic benches and tends to attract a lot of chickens (very on-brand for the island!), so we took our food to go. As always, the food was affordable, satisfying, and packed with flavor. We'll definitely be back, it's a must-visit every time we're here! read more

This place is so good! Only been here a handful times, but the burritos are always I always get the Chuns but sub the bacon for Portuguese sausage and it never misses :) the middle aged lady who made my burrito was so kind and full of energy, made the experience +10. We need more people like her! read more

No change from 10 years ago. Been excited to get a bomber since I've been back on island. Used to be a weekly stop and sunrise with coffee and burrito on Waimea beach. Service with a smile. Totally chill vibe from Haleiwa. That was me wishing. Looks like they streamlined the process.... Little ovens with a bunch of premade ingredients. Hmmmm. Still a pretty damn good burrito. Torn between 4 and 5 stars. read more

Kono's is located in the heart of Haleiwa, there's a parking lot behind the restaurant which is convenient as parking in town can get busy. We stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday. There was a line, so be prepared to wait to order and for your meal to be prepared. There are hand flow seats inside picnic tables outside as well as a few chairs. The restaurant is lacking in cleanliness, the staff were friendly and menu had various items. We tried the breakfast burritos, you get what you see on the menu, very basic/plain. I feel like even just putting the burrito in a pan/on a grill once stuffed with all of the ingredients would send it over the top. If you're looking for basic hand held breakfast options this is it, but be prepared to wait as it does get long. read more
