Kalua pork sliders
Sydni K.

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!

Hawaiian bowl
Jessica S.

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.

lava smoothie & chuns (slow cooked pork) wrap
Coral T.

This place has the best + fast customer service most importantly the food is outstanding! A variety of pork wraps/burritos & breakfast plates with smoothies available. Got the Chuns Bomber/Lava & Sunset Smoothies. Thank you for the excellent experience and flavor. Make sure you tip!

Kalua sandwich
Ichika G.

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.

BEACH sandwich
Paul C.

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

Triple Crown Sandwich
Ysabelle A.

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.

Antonio H.

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.

Nachos big enough to share!
Kara B.

The pulled pork is excellent!!! The sandwich was incredible! We also shared the nachos. The serving was huge and plenty to share. Very chill inside, order at the counter then pick up when your number is called. Service was great and friendly. the girl at the counter was very helpful when ordering! Great island vibe & great food!!!

Triple Crown - Kalua  Pork, ham, Bacon and delicious
Ronald E.

Righteous Kalua Pork in SSOOOOO many ways and all are great. I got the Hawaiian Bowl and the cabbage was savory and well cooked

Adriana G.

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!

Nice stop for local foods

After that you just head back inside for pickup. When our Pancakes arrived they were impressively huge. Definitely enough to share and legitimately some of the best Pancakes I have ever had. The coconut syrup also goes great with the pancakes. Since we got the combo we also got two eggs and sausages. Overall Ted's is a great stop and I would definitely return. Highly Reccommended!

Today, I had the chocolate haupia and it was tasty. The whipped cream on top is decorative and not too heavy, and the haupia is nice, although I do wish it were more coconutty. The service is never particularly pleasant. The workers seem unhappy to be checking people out, at least every time that I go. However, they are quick. I will give them that. Ample seating outside, although there's usually a lot of leftover trash from other people who have eaten there earlier. A good stop if you are craving pie by the slice at a reasonable price.

We arrived right when the restaurant was opening and were lucky enough to be seated immediately. The parking lot is relatively small, but we lucked out by being there right at opening. I loved the seating area, it is completely open and we were able to enjoy the light breeze and beautiful weather. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi which comes with garlic ponzu long beans and lemon caper brown butter sauce (which I requested on the side) and white rice. I am glad I decided to put the sauce on the side because the sauce was really rich and I enjoyed it more as a light dipping sauce versus drenching the plate with it. The Mahi Mahi was delicious and cooked perfectly. The kids menu here is amazing, the kids all loved their choices. I tried some of the Chicken Tenders and it was one of the best I have ever had! The staff here are wonderful! They were so attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and just as we ordered. I would highly recommend Haleiwa Beach House to anyone craving fresh and delicious food... there is a variety of choices on the menu, everyone in our party was able to pick what they wanted and we all left full and happy :)

I remember his burger bun was purple, from the taro root ingredients. Mentally, I added it to my list, for next time. My nephew had never been to the Northshore before, and has rarely had a real vacation in his young run on the planet. His partially-genuine question was amplified by the inherent organic qualities of the lunch experience. Namely, the serene backyard surroundings of Farm to Barn's property. The picnic bench tables. His bare feet on the grass, manifesting a closer connection to the earth (which fortunately, he only mentioned once - we all know the someone who would've mentioned it 6 times, or so). My older sister added her coconut granola bowl was the best acai-adjacent bowl she's ever encountered, in the handful of years she's discovered such meals exist. And my breakfast burrito, aka my fav. food, was top 5 for sure. The yard chickens cruised us, hoping to get some scraps. But, we all made the most of our post-hike meal. One would think, photos would've been taken, during such a moment... but nope! Too busy enjoying family, and food, and the ultimate healthy Hawaii vibe, that this spot effortlessly provided. There's a ton of great food options on this stretch of the Northshore, but hard to imagine not coming here every visit, from now on.

The place was smaller than we expected, had a relaxed comfortable charm. The weather was comfortable outside so we sat on the covered porch area on interesting heavy well made chairs. Arrived early so the place was relatively quiet Staff were very attentive. Their happy hour runs between 5 and 6, took advantage of the lower rate on two items. Husbands ordered the hamburger which was very juicy and had tasty add ons. It came with garlic fries that were delish. The Tapas we tried were the Spicy garlic shrimp on rice, roasted Brussel sprouts and cauliflower dish. All were delish, be warned the Shrimp dish is very spicy, we ordered a little bread to cut the heat. All in all we enjoyed our dining experience at Maya's.

I have been to an Island Vintage Coffee before, but not this location. The shop here is located in the Haleiwa Store Lots and is quite large. With that space, there is a lot of seating as well as numerous stands of merchandise and coffee for sale. For my coffee on this afternoon, I ended up going with an iced Island Latte, which is a latte with macadamia nut and a hint of coconut. It only took a couple of minutes before my coffee was ready, and my dad and I headed back to the car to try it. My coffee tasted good as the coffee flavor itself was bold and very noticeable. I could also taste the macadamia nut, which gave the coffee a slightly nutty flavor. Last but not least was the coconut, which they said it had a hint of, and they were not wrong. Overall, it was a good coffee and it hit the spot for the afternoon pick me up I was going for. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My coffee here was pretty good and I would totally be up for trying their Hawaiian Honey Latte, which I almost ordered today.
