Kono's Northshore

Great tender pork on soft delicious bread. Price was a little high, $18 for the sandwich and $5 for the strawberry lemonade, but I guess these are 2025 prices. Going to have to come back for a bowl.

Kono's Northshore is incredible. This is my fourth Kono's to visit. The atmosphere is great, staff is incredible, and the food, the food broke the mouth! I'm lucky for my favorite Oahu meal, the Old School and a Dole Whip, to be down the road!

WHAT A FUN FIND!!! First of all, the ladies I met here, clearly a couple sweet ladies doing managerial work at a table and a very friendly, sweet, efficient and helpful employee serving us - were soooooooo welcoming, kind, helpful & joyful! The lady that took our order let us know all the specials available Monday - Friday (they have a super convenient special menu they will give you to keep if you’re a fridge or “menu drawer” person for go-to takeout. See the photos for the extensive menu! We went for the Thursday special which was awesome! On Thursday they offer BOGO on their bowls. We went for that and boy are we glad we did! It comes with their signature slow roasted (12 hours) pulled pork, a unique cabbage slaw, and perfectly sticky steamed rice and a side of their scrumptious BBQ sauce. The pulled pork!!!! Sooooooooo good! The slaw was the perfect crunch to give texture to a great bowl! It was a perfect amount of food. Both of us took half home with us for later! All for under $15 before tip! You cannot beat that! But wait! There’s more! When we were finished with our food and were getting ready to leave - she brought up a generous sample of a fresh smoothie she had just made - fresh strawberries, fresh lemon to name a few of the flavors - soooooo good! The perfect finish to a great lunch! We can’t wait to be over on this side of town again to try more options!

LOVE Kono’s! It’s one of must-eat places on Oahu, so I was thrilled to see them open a location in Houston! Tried it today and it tastes exactly the same. The pork is juicy, tender, and flavorful. Fantastic tacos, plates, and “bombers” (burritos). Also enjoy the milkshakes. The service was great - so friendly! Will be back soon! Can’t recommend it enough.

We came for breakfast and it was amazing! I got the biscuits and the guava juice. The sausage is delicious and anything pork I’ve tried is sooo good. Highly recommend adding pineapple sauce to your food. Sharing a picture of my meal. Recommended. Also got a mug cause it was super cute.

Loved the slow-roasted pork — super tender and flavorful. I also really liked their mango pineapple hot sauce! The Hawaiian platters were on point, and the island music added a fun vibe. Definitely worth a visit!

I got the Triple Threat sandwich and it was probably a pound of meat, cheese, and love. FANTASTIC sandwich. I also tried the Kono’s mud pie milkshake and it was fantastic. I can not wait to come back and try more of the menu.

We love pulled pork sandwiches and someone had told us we had to try Kona Northshore and IT DID NOT disappoint! Better than any pulled pork we've found at a restaurant because Kona's pork is so so so very juicy! I got the sliders on the Hawaiian-style rolls (think Kings Hawaiian rolls) and my hubby got the Old Timer, the same thing but on a different larger bun. Both had a super yummy coleslaw on them and were heaped with pork. When I tell you we are going back, it's not out of convenience because we live in The Woodlands but because it was SO dang tasty!!! Might be considered a wee bit pricey but it was a lot of food! They have a bunch of other things on the menu too, including bbq chicken and salads, maybe we'll try next time. Or maybe we'll just have to get another juicy pork sandwich! I can only imagine it being better if we were eating it on a beach in Hawaii! Lol

The establishment is clean and has plenty of seating options. I stopped by right before the lunch rush and had no trouble finding parking or getting suggestions from the people working the counter. I tried the pork plate lunch and the food was great, it was even better because it was the lunch special of the day when I visited. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the sauces were. They had a few items that caught my attention and plan on coming back to try when I'm in the area.

Food is amazing and the people are awesome! I went for breakfast and got the Chuns bomber! It was filling and delicious. Worth every penny. I also got the vanilla macadamia nut iced coffee and a sample of the dole whip! Their hot sauces are fun bounce between because they each have a unique flavor, but the Mango Pineapple is excellent! Cute and clean decor, great experience.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great portion sizes. The flavoring on the pork was amazing, very juicy and not fatty. Sweet Maui onion chips came with everything. Would highly recommend checking this place out!

Love this new addition to our Northwest Houston community. Friendly staff, great food, coffee, and cute interior space. I stopped in and had the Wendy's Bomber to eat for breakfast and got an Iced Vanilla Macadamia Nut coffee and loved both of them. The bomber was a good size and I probably could have taken half of it home to eat later, but I was enjoying how peaceful the place was so I stayed and finished it all there. Highly recommend it, you feel like you've been transported to Hawaii once you enter but without the jet lag
