Kona Hawaiian Barbecue

I had the honey shrimp (like coconut shrimp other places), wife had BBQ beef (basically teriyaki beef), and 8ct pork lumpia. The shrimp was a delight and almost identical to a favorite dish of mine from another place by which I used to live. This shrimp will have me returning many times over. The BBQ beef is a smokier/more savory teriyaki but very similar profile. The lumpia is not what I would call lumpia as I was raised knowing Philipino lumpia as true lumpia. This felt more like a egg roll to me; cabbage and veggies in a wonton wrapper with a hint of pork inside. I was deeply unimpressed with the lumpia as it was not expecting what it was and I happen to dislike egg rolls. The atmosphere was very reggae/carribean/islander vibe and was real nice. It's what I was expecting and it fit. Th

Beautiful interior! Clean! Professional, kind and attentive staff! Nice looking menu with sooo many mouth watering choices! I wanted to try everything as it all looked good! I chose #3 Hawaiian BBQ Mix and #9 Mochiko Chicken, with sides of white rice, brocoli, salad and Mac. The portions were enormous and should have given a 5 star rating for food on that alone but the #3 meats, while good, were a bit to chared, slightly over cooked and a bit chewy. Also, the Mac i thought was bland. But I'll be back as I was overall impressed and want to try many more menu items! Itsa a quick, nice, clean, friendly place with a good atmosphere!

Tasty, simple takeaway style Hawaiian food. Had the honey shrimp, so creamy and delicious. The Mac salad is one of the few I can eat out (no mustard, have allergy) and reminds me of the salad from south Florida; so good. Had a spam musabi, too; good price, great at hand with some sriracha. Banana lumpia was sweet, crispy, oily and happy. Also hit that with the Sriracha because I respect myself; not disappointed. Overall, great counter to-go food for a good price, and a nice little lunch date with my special person. Will be here again.

Enjoyed our first time here. Good local food. Chicken katsu plate with fries and Mac salad and Large meat plate (low carb option). Yah, weird choice on the fries, but was ono for fries! 🍟 Kalbi, Teri beef and BBQ chicken were tasty along with the 3 sunny side eggs - yum! Katsu was crunchy with a good sauce to go with it. Will definitely have the katsu again and want to try the mochiko chicken next time. Friendly folks and comfortable place to sit and eat. Added to our "regular" place to grind!

Being a local from Hawaii, I am always critical of Hawaiian food places on the mainland. Kona's was pretty good. Had the chicken katsu curry with mac and rice. Mac was a little firm for my taste but properly mayonnaisey. Katsu was perfectly crispy and light. Curry sauce was authentic Japanese curry flavor. I will definitely come here again and try some of the other plates. I like that on the plates you can choose 2 from 6 sides: white rice, mac, salad, broccoli, fries, brown rice.
