Upon entering there is a little Asian mini mart in there with rice noodles, sauces and a few staple Asian items. They had a display cold case of their pies. The coconut cream pie looked yummy so I bought one. My order was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered the half Huli huli chicken and beef with an extra scoop of rice . Mac salad and a coleslaw was also included. They also have an assortment of small sauces to go, ranching from one star and up. I picked the crying tiger sauce, teriyaki and chili oil . This is a hefty mixed plate, enough for two or to have as leftovers for me. The beef is my favorite, seasoned and sauced well. I added the sauces to the huli huli chicken and it was superb, the chicken was moist and tender. I love Hawaiian Mac salad, it's the better type of Mac salads. I really enjoyed their Mac salad and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was a nice palette cleanser amongst the heavy but comforting meal. The coconut cream pie was good. I was expecting it to be a a little more sweeter, but the coconut flavor is just right. Not too overpowering . I will be back to try more.

It's in the basement of a hotel, but it doesn't feel like it at all. The guests there are lucky to have a solid dining spot without having to leave. Service was great from everybody from start to finish. Very personable and funny - I forget our waiter's name but he was great! We started off with the Pork Lumpia and those were delicious. They were also huge! We each only had one (it comes with three) and that was enough for us. For my main, I got the Huli Huli Chicken. Great portion and it was sooo good. The chicken was tender and exactly the flavor I was expecting! The tuna mac salad on the side was BOMB. I could've had way more than the serving they gave, I think that's my only complaint! Overall this was a great first experience and I can't wait to try more of the menu. Will definitely be checking out the Tukwila location next as that's closer to me.

They provide live entertainment on some days (check for weekends) at both their Bellevue and Tukwila locations. Come here if you're looking for good island flavors, and even better service!

They offer one of the cheapest poke plates around these days starting at $16. There are a lot poke options as well as add-ons to choose from that I had a hard time deciding. The salmon skins were new to me with poke & were delicious. They also offer other classic Hawaiian dishes and the weekend brunch menu looks amazing. I'm not a huge breakfast person, but I will come back for this if not for the poke. The location appears to be in a newer development area but walking inside Kona Poke House, it's anything but that "sterile newness" feel. The decor was actually very warm, homey and inviting. It's screams aloha and for a moment I forget that Safeway is right next door. Speaking of, that means plenty of parking too. Oh and the people who run the place are super nice!

This was my first time having real teriyaki chicken and it did not disappoint! I got the spicy crispy combo with pico and rice (chicken katsu and spicy teriyaki chicken). Lots of food for a good price! I would rate my meal a 10/10! I have nothing bad to say about it and I think it's perfect just the way it is.

Thankfully dine-in is back open again, so we got here on a Saturday morning around 11:20am to indoor seating that was nearly full and a small line that was forming at the front counter. Walls have a bunch of photo frames, and overall place felt very homely. They have a ton of Hawaiian style plates and even burgers and some seafood, though we and most others got the former to eat. I ordered their chicken and pork combo Hawaiian style plate, and my bestie got their chicken katsu Hawaiian style plate. Portions are huge for both plates and both also came with macaroni salad. They give you sooooo much meat no matter what you get. To go in slightly more detail: - Chicken and pork combo: both meats were flavored very well, and a little sweet too though pretty salty without using the rice as a palette cleanser. Chicken had more depth in its flavor; the pork's flavor was a little too much for my liking, and was slightly harder to chew. Both meats had some sauce hat went onto the rice itself. This didn't detract from my overall experience here, though. - Chicken katsu: we both agreed this was our favorite after exchanging pieces of each other's dish. The katsu is crispy and crunchy, and the chicken itself retained a lot of its juiciness. Katsu sauce on the side is honestly optional since the meat itself is already salty enough. This place does share extremely limited parking with Cakes of Paradise next door, so get here early or be prepared to drive around the area to find some. Just get here, it's a place you can't pass up when you hit up Georgetown!

Updated review from 2 Months ago…read more.. I've been back roughly 6 times from my previous review of Kona Kitchen. Then it was too many staff, not many customers and it was difficult to get service, that has been improved upon. They are nice and attentive when they see you. Service was normal, the wait staff came around and offered more beverage. This time it was still slow period, so what gives it only 3 stars instead of more? It's the fact that the main door the employee use to go into the kitchen to give their orders to the cooks had cob webs on the top of the door.i mean everyone of them walk through that door hundreds of times throughout the week because I could tell it's been there for some time. Where's the food inspector, should be a concern because if it's there in full view of customers and employees, what else is happening as far as cleanliness at Kona Kitchen. I will be there within two or three days and wonder if the cobweb will still be a fixture there... it's something that is annoying because nobody's done anything about it. Amazing.
