In a case of the country coming to town, Kono's on Kapahulu is a city outpost for the popular North Shore–based purveyor of 12-hour slow-roasted kalua pork. They also serve popular breakfast sandwiches and decent salads. The milkshake menu is even longer than the pork menu; try flavors like key lime and coconut cream pie.
