This was one of two places I wanted to take my bestie to for some great food I've had during the…read morepeaks of the pandemic. 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!

I would have to say the most thing I enjoyed the most was the chili pepper water, it added the tanginess that the chicken needed and I was very pleased with the spice level.

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!

I…read moreordered ahead and scheduled the order so I don't need to wait for my food, and it was ready at exactly the scheduled pickup time, no earlier no later. I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it. Overall, great value and great food. I'd be a regular if I didn't live so far from Kirkland (1 hr drive for food can be challenging in busy schedules)

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.

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.

Spam musubi and macaroni salad are how I judge Hawaiian restaurants, and I am def going back here for more.

The spam musubi was good enough- it could have used a little more seasoning, and the rice was dry, but I'm willing to try again. My husband and I shared the spam musubi and the short rib plate, and it was plenty of food. When it first arrived we thought it might not be enough food, but we left feeling quite full and satisfied. The interior was clean and minimal, and the staff was friendly without being overbearing. Look forward to being back!

What I love most is that you can get poke and assorted seafood by weight, so you can build your ideal spread and pick exactly what you crave. All fish tastes fresh, no fishy aftertaste. Great for assembling a sushi & poke feast to dine in or take home. Highly recommend for any raw seafood lover. I will absolutely be coming back to try more menu items!
