- foodDespite arriving close to closing time, the staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and enjoyable to chat with. I got my order to go, and the food was VERY good. I will definitely go back.
- porkMy husband and I came in for breakfast and enjoyed a pork plate and a turkey avo melt, both of which were super delicious. Although I don't typically eat pork, the pork here was beautiful. The staff prepared our food fresh, and the approximately 15-minute wait was absolutely worth it for fresh cooked food, just like you would have at home!
- Hawaiian bowlOther members of our party had the Hawaiian bowl, with their house made coleslaw. There wasn't a lot of speaking during the time of eating; everybody was just enjoying everything that they had ordered. Their juice bar is excellent and they also serve fresh ice cream shakes for dessert.
- Hawaiian foodNever again for me. Good Hawaiian food, but there are plenty of other Hawaiian restaurants in this town.
- coffeeHawaiian Bowl with the BBQ sauce and a coffee for brunch and it was amazing
- triple crown sandwichThe staff was very helpful and informative, the young lady who helped us was patient, very kind, and went through the menu with us. I had the triple crown sandwich, it was way too much for one person to eat, but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it. The bread was fresh.
- menuMy experience at Konos was great! The place offers comfortable dining and a large menu. They are known for their pork, which is definitely something you should try.
- pork platethe nachos and the pork plate, which were incredibly tasty
- pulled porkDelicious! The pork is tender and flavorful. Staff is friendly and gave us a lot of info when we told him we’d never been here before.
- Chuns bomberGet the Chuns bomber if you’re looking for an 11/10 time!!
Frequently criticized
- foodMy experience at this restaurant was a significant letdown. We ordered nachos, but the food was cold, and there was hardly any cheese. It was supposed to have cheese, but it was very sparse.
- riceMy experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the food. The surfer rib plate was bland, and the rice was horrible. Despite the friendly staff, the food was extremely disappointing.
- baconthey didn't have enough bacon to make our two dishes
- biscuitsI ordered biscuits and gravy, and unfortunately it was one of the worst I've ever had. The biscuits were cold and doughy in the middle, and the gravy was actually ice cold and flavorless -- not just lukewarm, but straight out of the fridge cold and lacking any seasoning. On top of that, the eggs that came with it were burnt, dry, and completely flavorless.
- food qualityMy experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the restaurant was clean, I found that the food and prices could improve. The Kalua tasted more like pulled pork, and the portions were small.
- porkpork lacked flavor and it was very dry
- portionskinda pricey for the portions you receive
- shakean extra small with a lid for fountain drinks
- BBQ sauceone little cup of BBQ sauce, which was not enough
- Hawaiian restaurantdoes not make this a Hawaiian restaurant
If youre craving flavorful Hawaiian-inspired dishes like Kalua pork and bombers, its definitely worth a try, especially given the good overall satisfaction. Just be aware that some diners have experienced inconsistencies with dryness or portion sizes, so manage your expectations.

Ambience (7.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 30% of the guests
The ambience here generally hits the mark, with a 7.7 score indicating a good experience and 82% customer satisfaction. Many guests were pleasantly surprised by the inviting vibes and spacious layout, often highlighting the clean and comfortable setting. The island reggae vibe and chill music contribute to a relaxing atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind.
These positive sentiments come from 50 favorable observations out of 61 total. However, not everyone was entirely charmed. Some found the dark lighting off-putting, and a few noted the absence of a welcoming food aroma.
There's also feedback regarding the use of Styrofoam, plastic silverware, and cups, which some feel detracts from the overall experience and sustainability efforts. These points, though fewer with 8 negative observations, suggest areas for improvement.

Frequently criticized
- Styrofoam, plastic silverware, and cupsThe food was out quickly and prepared perfectly. The one thing that I will say we weren't too much of a fan of was the fact that this is a Hawaiian-based company that uses tons of Styrofoam, plastic silverware, and cups for everything. It would be awesome to see them use less of that non-biodegradable material, and we found it to be interesting knowing that they started on an island, normally islands are more aware and cautious of non-biodegradable materials.
- aroma of foodMy husband and I walked in and were immediately turned off by the very dark lighting. There were no pictures to showcase the food, and no aroma of food in the air. We were presented with only a menu featuring chalk writing.
- deceivingvery much deceiving from their pictures and ratings
- information outsideNeeds better information outside to let foks know

If you're looking for a clean, comfortable spot with a relaxed island vibe and good music, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just be aware that some find the lighting a bit dim and the use of disposable cutlery a minor drawback. Overall, it offers a pleasant atmosphere for a casual meal.

Alright, lets talk value! While customer satisfaction sits at a rather low 32.4%, and the overall score for value is an average 4.7, its not all bad news. Out of 34 comments, 11 folks found things to love, often praising the price and prices and portions.
Some even called it a budget breakfast spot, noting that they got a great meal and excellent value for their money. However, the majority, with 20 negative remarks, had some strong opinions.

- priceWe were really, really disappointed. The quality of our meal was not worth the price. I truly wanted to love this place, especially to support a small business and our Hawaii community.
- $13paid $13 for a tiny breakfast burrito
- automatic 20% tip chargeThe rest of the food was just okay. Additionally, the automatic 20% tip charge online is crazy; pay attention to that before you check out.
- bang for your buckYou’d get more bang for your buck
- bigger platesKai was 'spectacular' on explaining the menu and welcoming us 🙂. I would appreciate bigger 'plates' for the menu prices, and for sriracha bottles to be filled 😳. Regardless, my son and I will definitely be back to try something new on the menu each time we visit, and also say 'hi' to staff.
- kalua slider platekalua slider plate not even worth the price
- overpricedEverything is overpriced
- pricesMy experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the restaurant was clean, I found that the food and prices could improve. The Kalua tasted more like pulled pork, and the portions were small.
- pricingthe pricing is absurd
- two dollarspaid an additional two dollars for that tasted like cottage cheese
So, is it a good deal? Its a bit of a gamble. While some find the prices reasonable for what you get, a larger group feels its definitely overpriced for the portion sizes.
If you're on a tight budget or expect generous servings, you might want to explore other options.

Authentic Konos Experience in the US!
Having lived in HI for 3 years, I can honestly say this branch is a perfect representation of the original Haleiwa Konos. The food quality is awesome, notably the bombers. The staff is passionate, and the atmosphere is relaxing.
I was shocked to see the restaurant branched out to continental US and was even more shocked to enjoy their food like I regularly used to on island.

Overcooked Pork, Small Portions, Not Warm
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered a pork plate, and it was extremely overcooked and the portions were small. The pork didn't even look like pork anymore.
Additionally, despite living only 4 minutes away, my plate was not warm when I opened it immediately upon arriving home.

Absolutely Delicious Kalua Pork!
My experience at the restaurant was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Kalua pulled pork plate and the bomber, and both were fantastic. The pork was incredibly tender and flavorful in each dish.
The eggs served with the bomber were perfectly fluffy. What truly blew me away was the Hawaiian sauce that came with the plate.
