    Right from the start the service is amazing! The young man was so nice and had great recommendations! My mom and I got the hawaiian bowl and plate with their pog juice which was AMAZING I loved the pulled pork and their bbq sauce was my favorite!! Will definitely be coming back! New favorite spot in old town spring

    Why 5 stars? Because everything was so great, I couldn't stop ordering stuff. --- --- --- My wife visited the location in the Cypress area several months ago, and brought leftovers home. Even after re-heating them later that night, I was blown away with how delicious everything was, so I was really excited to check out their new, Old Town Spring location. We ordered the Chuns burrito and the Hawaiian bowl to split, but after ordering, we realized that the Chuns was a breakfast burrito, which is not what we wanted. Unfortunately, it was too late to switch it to the BBQ bomber, which is what we meant to get. As it turned out, both things were top notch, so it really worked out. But I had a craving for that BBQ bomber and had unprecedented hunger levels, so I yolo'd my way back to the counter and said, sir, I will be ordering my third entree now. And my wife maybe had 2-3 bites, while I crushed the rest of it. All in all, I probably ate 75% of these three meals and I have zero regrets about that. Bonus: the BBQ bomber was my personal favorite, so it was all worth it. Oh, and we had already ordered a Dole Whip with our initial transaction, so I grabbed that after I was done stuffing my face on the other stuff. Yes I ate most of that too and yes I enjoyed every second of it. Welcome to Spring, Kono's! I look forward to indulging you again in the future.

    When I found out that this famous Hawaiian restaurant was opening up a location in Spring TX, I had to come check them out and let me tell you, it was worth the hype!! I started things off light with a pineapple lemonade made from a juiced pineapple and their famous Hawaiian Bowl with a side of their house-made BBQ sauce! If you want to spice things up a bit, have them add a side of their pineapple hot sauce to add to the bowl. The bowl consists of their 12 hour slow roasted pork and slow simmered seasoned cabbage over steamed white rice!! Sooooooo delicious!!!!! For dessert, I ordered their Oaxacan milk shake! It's got that classic spicy chocolate that you know and love from Oaxaca!!! Yall gotta check this place out! Sooo good!! The service was amazing, they offered a variety of substitutions for the pork but I stuck with the original. The size of the restaurant and ambiance embodies a traditional Hawaiian restaurant!

    This is a cute little place that I had to come to for an event. Their burritos are massively stuffed with the ingredients. So if you like pulled pork, they are not shy about it at all they give you plenty. Flavors were good no complaints there. The tortilla was not ideally my favorite but I'm just used to fresh tortillas that's all. I did try the POG juice and instant instantly fell in love with it ordered more to go. That is a combination of pineapple, orange juice, and guava. There's some shakes that I'm very interested in so I definitely need to come back and try those out. The staff was super nice. The lady even sat there and talked to me for a little bit while we were killing time waiting on my burrito but I will say they are sweet. The place is nice and clean and an acute spot. I really hope they get more business. They are kind of tucked away, but it is nice and a good spot to drop in for lunch.

    The service was so friendly and helpful. I got the biscuit sliders and my husband got the chuns burrito. The biscuits themselves were so soft and yummy. The kalua pork was so good. She let us try their different hot sauces. We ended up buying a bottle of their habañero sauce. The lava smoothie tasted so fresh, and the POG juice was so good. We can't wait to go back again.

    Since I was in the area, I decided to see what they had to offer. The trio of biscuits sounded intriguing, but I was looking for something different. I was surprised I could order the "lunch" items at 9:15 AM. The Pork Lunch Plate sounded perfect as I did want to try some of the meat and greens. It came with soft and moist rice, which was a nice surprise. The slow roasted pulled pork was seasoned well and tasty with the side of homemade guava bbq sauce. The wild greens salad came with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. The homemade papaya seed dressing was similar to a thin honey mustard vinaigrette to me. The foam box was placed in a very greasy paper bag.

    Receipt only since didn't get food...

    Don't have a picture of the food. Because after 45 minutes with a hangry two year old during non lunch rush, we had to leave. We weren't the only ones, everybody was leaving. No explanation other than "warming up the pork".

    Can't believe we found a Hawaiian restaurant in the middle of Old Town Spring. You can eat and do some shopping too. Customer service is amazing and friendly. The owner was very attentive. The food portions are good. We liked the Chuns Bomber burritos, quesadillas and Hawaiian Bowl with Kalua Pork. They also have Dole Whip (get it with ice cream) and POG juice.

    Coffee was awesome!

    5 stars all the way for location, vibe, food, and service. A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.
