In 2002, Kono’s began in Haleiwa in the North Shore. We've been selling our signature Kalua pork (pulled pork) in our Famous Breakfast Bombers, Sandwiches, and Plate lunches for 15 years. Kono’s has been voted #1 Plate Lunch, Best Breakfast, Restaurant under $29 a person, and Best Cheap eats on Oahu for the past 2 years in a row. We also cater to those with a sweet tooth, with specialty smoothies, hand-crafted milkshakes, and fresh squeezed lemon and limeades. Kono’s has built a growing following of both locals and tourists. Since our humble beginnings in Haleiwa, we have grown to a total of 5 Kono’s locations (Haleiwa, Kaimuki, and Kailua) across the Oahu as well as 1 in the Las Vegas area. We are here for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
