I am not sure at all how this place gets such great reviews. I absolutely love breakfast food and this place has all the hype and their menus sounds delicious, but the food is horrible.
The Kono's potatoes sound and look delicious, but they were barely cooked. It was like eating raw chunks of potato that were really hard and dry.
Those same potatoes were in my breakfast burrito, which was disgusting. The breakfast burritos were huge, but there wasn't a drop of salsa, picante or hot sause on the burrito. It was just the dry potatoes, undercooked eggs and a little bit of cheese. It was so dry and blaw I actually didn't even finish my burrito and I have a big appetite.
The only hot sauce they had was traditional Tabasco. There was no cayenne hot sauce, Cholula or jalepeno Tabasco. If they had some decent hot sauce it might have made the burritos edible, but they didn't even have that.
My wife had the breakfast combo with scrambled eggs (her's were undercooked too), Kono potatoes (again way undercooked), bacon (this was the only good thing they had) and french toast (the french toast was okay, but not even average).
It seems like all their food is way under-cooked. It was all hot, but I think since they are trying to serve it fast they cook it all really hot, but really quick so it doesn't get cook thoroughly.
The only good things I have to say was the portions were very big. The atmosphere was pretty cool and the service was very friendly.
My advise though is go to Denny's up a block and avoid waiting an hour for this way below average food. I hate Denny's or any big chains, but at least you know what you are getting there.
Kono's was terrible and I was thoroughly disappointed. My wife was as well. I have no idea how this place gets such good reviews. Maybe we just caught them on their worst day or something.
