The Surfing Pig Hawaii
Kono’s began in Haleiwa on the North Shore in 2002. With its fun, surf-inspired atmosphere and delicious dishes, Kono’s has grown to be an island favorite. In 2017, it was voted #1 Plate lunch, #1 Breakfast, #1 Restaurant Under $29 and #1 Cheap Eats through the Reader’s Choice Awards in Hawaii Magazine. In 2017, and again in 2018, Kono’s received the prestigious ‘Ilima People’s Choice Award for “Best Casual Restaurant.” With the steady success and solid relationships that Kono’s has cultivated in the community, the conditions were right to start something fresh…
The Surfing Pig Hawaii is the fourth restaurant location, opened in early 2018 by Kono’s Restaurant Group. Also known as “Kono’s sexy big sister,” it is the first of its kind. Nestled in the heart of the Upper Kaimuki, on the corner of Koko Head/Waialae Avenue, its flavor is Americana with a bold, local twist. The interior design celebrates modern surf culture, and the walls are a muted canvas that allows colors and ingredients on the dishes to really shine. The feeling is warm and the service is infused with “Extra Aloha.” The Surfing Pig celebrates the early days of Kaimuki (the Mecca of dining on Oahu) while embracing the present.
The Surfing Pig offers an elevated menu of Kono’s award winning 12-hour slow roasted pork, various selections of meat, small plates, savory entrees and delectable desserts. The new restaurant serves the best hand-crafted cocktails and offers the best gourmet bar food on the island. It is a hub for the classic and hip, distinguished professionals, celebrated artists, community influencers, foodies, everyday people & their families, in addition to the travelers looking for a neo-local experience outside of Waikiki and into a more neighborhood feel. The Surfing Pig is pleased to receive its first ‘Ilima People’s Choice Award for a new category called “Best of the Burbs” for East O’ahu in October 2018.
A group of 11 of us wanted one last meal before heading our separate ways. We called the surfing pig and they were able to set up a table to fit all of us at our requested reservation time.
They had a big “Sunday Night Dinner” special that was a family style dinner designed for 4 people. The 11 of us shared 2 and it was a perfect amount of food!
This place is great for brunch! The food was great, chicken and waffles are bomb. Service was also pretty on point.
When one selects five stars as their rating on Yelp, it says “Woohoo! As good as it gets!” and this is definitely true for The Surfing Pig.
To summarize, everything we ate was amazing. Special shout out to the Red Wine Reduction which we special requested with our truffle fries, and the Tenderloin medallions. The ribs were perfectly cooked, and had a gorgeous outer crunch and moist interior. If you come for lunch, the beet salad with goat cheese is a must.
