    The plate lunch - A+
    Jessica R.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    Really enjoyed the food here. We went before dinner service, so the menu was limited to appetizers,…read morebut honestly, that didn't bother us because everything we ordered was very, very good. The flavors felt much more elevated than I expected from a beachside restaurant. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it genuinely felt like there was a real chef working in the kitchen rather than just standard bar food. The service was excellent and very attentive and the indoor-outdoor seating ambience with the ocean across the street was amazing. Even with the limited menu, I would happily come back to try the dinner offerings. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're in Haleiwa and looking for something a little more elevated.

    Skip the poke here! I know, I know, those are fighting words in Hawaii and probably not the opening…read moreyou expected for a four-star review. And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.

    Stonefish is located in the Haleiwa Town Center, so there's lots of free parking in the lot behind…read more I came here for brunch on a Friday, and there was no wait to be seated. We were given the option of sitting inside or outside. I loved the wood furniture and plants that were used throughout the restaurant. For three of us, we shared the prime rib moco and malasada pancakes. The malasada pancakes are like no other, and it's a must try at this restaurant. It has the perfect malasada texture without feeling super heavy. The prime rib loco moco was a generous portion and paired well with the sweet malasada pancakes. Service here was friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend Stonefish if you're looking for a good breakfast spot with something for everyone.

    We give it a 2 star coz of the venue; nice place with very beachy ambiance being in North Shore…read more The staff are friendly and hospitable but not very attentive. We're seated at the corner and forgotten. Now, the food-DISAPPOINTING! We thought it would be authentic fish since the name stands for it! We ordered Chicken and Fish sandwiches. The plating was nice and looks appetizing but the chicken were chicken tenders or chicken stick and the fish was those ready made breaded fish from Costco (at least it looked like it). What made the good taste good was the sauce. So, I recommend if you're really hungry and you don't mind eating microwave dinner and the family needs to unload and relax coz the place is vibing and has a long bar for adults. I'm just disappointed with the food.
