    Ribeye with green beans
    Aini R.

    We stopped by for happy hour. I was disappointed in the lettuce size and freshness (see photo)! The shrimp taco plating was also plopped on. My husband ordered the ribeye steak, medium, but it came out well done. Our server had it remade. The flavor of the steak was good. However, they should get thicker consistent steak size, so they can cook it right with a nice sear without overcooking.

    I had the spicy tuna roll and the eel. Both were good. Another member in the party had the fire dragon roll. It tasted like straight everclear. Music was awful.

    We had an amazing experience at Kona Grill Gilbert. Mark Savage was our server and he rocked the house! The happy hour is incredible! You can try everything at a really reasonable price. I really enjoyed the macadamia nut chicken, the chicken sauté, and the beef sliders. Great space for large parties.

    We came in at 2 on Friday, there was hardly anyone there, maybe 8-10 tables filled throughout the place, which is decent size for busy hours. It took us half an hour to get our food from when we set and ordered. Our food was actually pretty decent accept for my son's mac n cheese, both him and our daughter said it tasted like dish soap so maybe the dish it was in wasn't rinsed well or the container they cooked it in wasn't rinsed? Our waitress Erica was great, she seemed to be the only one there and managing more than tables as the whole hour plus we were there we only saw a hostess (who doesn't say much, not even a thank you for coming in" when we left) and Erica and another worker. We enjoyed our food but more likely won't come back with how slow service was when it wasn't busy, if it was slam packed busy then it be more understandable for half hour wait for our food.

    Kids pizza half eaten

    We came here around 1 pm on a Sunday and there was a woman waiting at the front lobby to be helped when we arrived. No one was around until a server Erica came by and assisted us with getting seated when the host/hostess was nowhere to be found. We were seated on the patio with our dog and it was a nice day out. Plenty of parking on that side of the plaza as most people park towards the middle of the shopping center. Erica was our server during our meal as well and she was friendly and nice. We ordered the fried pickles, KG cheeseburger, seabass sliders and a kids pizza. Fried pickles (3/5) I love pickles and I enjoyed them but it was also pretty salty. My boyfriend also felt they were a bit soggy. We were expecting them to be more breaded. KG cheeseburger (3/5) Average cheeseburger and nothing special, my boyfriend also said it was a bit dry. Seabass Sliders (3.5/5) subbed fries instead of chips. This was my favorite dish out of everything we got but it still fell a bit short. Didn't taste the miso or furikake, mostly tasted the slaw. The Hawaiian bread felt like it came straight out of the bag and wasn't toasted or warmed but overall it tasted good. Small portions for the price. Kids pizza (2/5) Was not expecting this to be on a flatbread. Fairly simple - flatbread topped with pizza sauce and cheese. But it tasted like it came out of a cardboard box or the freezer. I know you can't really expect much for a kids meal but I've had much better pizzas for cheaper at casual fast food places. All in all the service was good and the food is okay but definitely not worth the prices they are charging. If each item was $3 to $5 cheaper then that would be more on par with their quality.

    Fish & chips
    Carla N.

    Hubby & I had dinner here last night. We were seated right away. It took a very long time before our server came over. So long that the manager finally came over & took our drink order. Hubby got a draft beer & I got a sangria. Both were good. When our server came over he was not friendly at all. We ordered the pot stickers. Hubby got the fish and chips. I got the sliders. The pot stickers are really good, but not worth $21. We really liked the sauce they come with. We had just as good pot stickers at other restaurants for a lot less money. Hubby liked his fish. It was lightly breaded & not greasy at all. The "chips" were nothing special. Just steak fries really. Again, not worth the money for the amount of food you get. My sliders were okay. I wanted the chicken sandwich until I asked the manager if it was chicken breast or thigh meat. She said it was dark meat. I don't like dark meat chicken so I got the sliders. You get 3 sliders & fries. Whatever sauce is on the sliders was very sparse. I dipped them in the ketchup because more sauce was needed. I would like to go back & try the sushi because it looked really good from the table next to us. In my opinion, the other food is too pricey for the amount you get. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the pot stickers before we started eating them.

    New Review as of 11/18/25 About last night. After being disappointed in the first restaurant bar we went to, my friends and I decided to go to Kona and get dinner. We haven't been here in forever and I know they changed their menu all the time. We got seated outside and chatted. Got our drinks and ordered food. Everything was amazing. The food was delicious and the desserts as well. Thank you to my friends and the waiter (whom I forgot his name, but he wore glasses and had a cross over his neck) but he was super nice and gave suggestions on what to get. He said he liked the French Dip as it's one of his favorites. Will def come back again. Will be seeing more new added items on the menu. Thank you for celebrating my birthday.

    The service was great and attentive. We went in with our Resy credit from American Express. They have a special running right now with pre fixe menus (restaurant week and taste of Kona). There are some good options. The food is decent for their sushi options but the salad and steak were not fresh. I would recommend getting another option like their burgers. They also have some great happy hour options Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 6 PM, there is a 6 dollar burger meal, and again from 9 PM to close. The decor is a modern design with a dsrker ambience. Would give the happy hour a try just for the deal but would not recommend the steak options. The brownie dessert was great. The brownie was moist and soft on the inside. It is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that really paired well.

    "Well done burger" and salad untouched! That was the salad without us eating even a bite. And yet that cost us $17?!
    Meredith B.

    I ordered for delivery and the driver kept messaging me apologizing for the preparation taking longer. It literally was almost 2 hours late! I could be more understanding if it was made to order but we ordered burger well done and it was totally pink pink! And the salad was so small and mediocre for $17! Delivery or in person, we won't be frequenting Kona Grill again.

    Kids menu burger, fries, and Mac & cheese
    Kimmy H.

    Ambiance great we had outside patio seats. The service was fast we had a good waitress. Food was a little pricy for portion. Two kids orders and a Macadamia Nut Chicken. The chicken was raw in some edges. The manager was able to make things right. Over all not a bad experience just the undercooked vibes has me staying away for awhile..

    Angry Edamame and Red Sangria
    Jessica A.

    Came for dinner/HH on Friday night and had a pretty good experience. Sat on the patio which was surprisingly cool enough despite how hot it actually was outside. Our server, Erica, was great...she was definitely hustling all night. Things we loved: Meatballs - the crust, the gravy, the potatoes, the peppercorns - yum! Margarita flight Crunch roll Filet Things that were good but not amazing: Red sangria Franciscan wine Bonanza wine Things we didn't love: Angry edamame (the sauce was really sour and not at all what we were expecting) The fries and green beans that came w the filet Overall, definitely a good little spot for date night - trivia at the table was a blast!

The location has a quaint, house-style feel with beautifully manicured grounds. The large doors were open, allowing a lovely breeze to flow through, a welcomed touch.

The restaurant offers a variety of seating options: outside patio, high-top outdoor seating, inside bar seating, and traditional indoor dining. We arrived in that sweet spot between lunch and happy hour, so the restaurant was quiet and relaxed, exactly how we like it. Drinks My Blue Hawaiian ($15) was absolutely amazing, it really hit the spot, and I was still feeling great when we left! My husband ordered the Pizza Port Chronic ($5) and said it was a nice, refreshing change of pace. Our Server Andrew Andrew greeted us immediately, walked us through both the food and drink menus, and was genuinely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was the highlight of our visit. Exceptional service. Appetizer Butter Board & Bread We started with the Butter Board ($14), served with toasted bread. The butter itself, whipped with ricotta, herbs, and what I believe was a honey drizzle, was absolutely delicious. My only note is that the bread edges were toasted a bit too dark for my taste, leaving a slightly burnt crust flavor and aroma. Entrées I ordered the Seared Scallops ($48), which were plated with white potatoes, purple potatoes (possibly ube), and sausage over a rich sauce. Unfortunately, the purple potatoes had a burnt taste that was off-putting, and I wasn't able to finish much of my meal. My husband, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed his Grilled Striped Bass ($48), beautifully plated and well-executed. Final Thoughts While my entree missed the mark this visit, Andrew's outstanding service and the overall ambience more than carried the experience. The space is gorgeous, the concept is lovely, and I can absolutely see returning when the seasonal menu refreshes. In my opinion, it's worth a second chance, we will be back.

The food was good & our waitress was sweet but they really should provide a carafe of water on the table &/or provide larger water glasses. One of us almost always had an empty glass. We only saw 2 young ladies working (1 server & 1 waitress). Think with small improvements this would be a solid 4 restaurant. I knocked off 1 start for accessibility issues. There was 1 lady in my party that has a walker but luckily she was able to navigate in & out of the building without any major issues. The Parking & bathrooms are a bit of a walk & may be difficult for someone with disabilities. I only saw 1 handicapped parking space. Plus all but the handicapped space in the parking lot is just sand/gravel. There's only 1 door for customers & it's located at the very front of the building (closest to Gilbert Rd). Know that the ramp to get into the building is quite short & steep. Also, the bathrooms are shared by the buildings in the complex & located in a separate building located behind the restaurant. *The ladies bathroom was clean, had a baby changer, & AC. It has a nice sized patio that runs along the front & side of the building with shade, fans, & misters. Too hot for my group on a 100+ degree day in AZ. Think I'd enjoy sitting in that outdoor space when it's cooler.

    I have to give a shoutout to Chester, and his manager if you're out there, I hope you see this! We…read morehad the most amazing experience last night. My husband and I came in for a light dinner after a movie last night. We got our food and were just sitting, enjoying our meal when Chester walked by with a couple plates of sweet potato fries and I made a comment only to my husband about how good they looked. To my surprise less than 5 minutes later Chester came over and dropped off a plate of fries at the table for me. That was literally the NICEST thing someone has done for me in forever - I was SO impressed. WOW!!!! So if you're Chester's manager - please tell him thank you again for going above and beyond. We love Flower Child and this was an experience that will keep us coming back!

    If you're looking for a healthy-ish spot that still feels fun and social, Flower Child is a great…read moreaddition to the rotation. The atmosphere is upbeat, bright, and welcoming with a really good energy whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with a larger group. The setup works especially well for groups since there's plenty of seating and the ordering process keeps things moving even when it's busy. One thing they do very well is efficiency without losing hospitality. They have both a dine-in ordering counter and a dedicated to-go counter, which seems necessary because this place stays packed. Even during busy times, the staff stays friendly, attentive, and organized. You can tell there's real attention paid to each order and that management understands how to run a smooth restaurant operation. The menu has a lot of solid choices whether you want something lighter, comforting, vegetarian, or protein-packed. Portions were satisfying, and the broccoli deserves its own mention -- somehow simple but absolutely addictive. My only real note is that pricing feels a little high for an order-at-the-counter style restaurant. That said, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience do make it easier to justify once in a while.

    I am literally never disappointed with the food here, nor am I disappointed with the service or the…read moredrinks. Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it. To update about the food I tried but some of you may not get to try since they're changing it up :P *Tiger Shrimp - DIVINE - JUICY ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CURRY THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONCE ITS EVER TOUCHED YOUR TONGUE - the prawns are BIGGER THAN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER *Thai Salad - zesty spicy, VERY filling and made in lettuce cups, so very much not your typical salad but very tasty *steak skewers - much more like the juiciest steak I've literally ever had on a skewer - LITERALLY...but not because it's fat, just because they somehow made this steak completely juicified - don't ask me how - ask Cat *Mole Chicken Skewers - My favorite...you should just try it.

Sat at the bar where service was good, drinks were expertly prepared and really enjoyed the dessert! Food looked great as well, I really wish we had eaten here instead of wasting money at the other place.

    This is such a swanky gem in the middle of a college row filled with sports bars and fast casual…read morerestaurants. My colleagues selected this spot for dinner while in town for a conference. We were setup in a separate dining area from the main dining room, which allowed for better conversation without added noise. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there, which was a couple hours. The milk bread is an absolute must! It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing. For my entree, I had the shishito Caesar salad and was advised I could add a protein from their skewer selection of chicken, pork belly or oyster mushrooms. I asked the waitress about the chicken and she advised that they are smoked and will appear pink from that, so not to be alarmed, but are moist and really flavorful. While the filet was tempting (and what everyone else at my table ordered), I wanted something lighter. Thankfully I was not disappointed in my selection. The chicken was as delicious as described and could be cut with a fork. The Caesar salad was well dressed, but not soggy. Do I think it was worth the money to add the chicken? Not if I were paying, but since my company paid for it, I think it was worth it. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.

The milk bread and cast iron Brie were insane, I would totally recommend to get one each for the table to share. We got the bone in short rib and were pleasantly surprised with how much meat was on the bone and how easily it fell apart. The dish is a little heavy so I would suggest something else that is light/citrus to complement the dish. Overall the service and food at filthy left a great impression!

Today was no different, the service was perfect, just enough interaction that ensured no one waited for anything. The food was really good, I had the lamb slider, if there is anything I can say that's negative it would be the slider was too big to even fit in my wide mouth.my wife had the chicken sandwich which she loved and gas another lunch from the left overs, our friend had the zucchini grilled cheese which she completely enjoyed. The setting is beautiful, very large open windows and high ceilings. We really like this place, you should try it.

I had it on my list, but it's not in an area I usually go to. It's tucked away in commercial/ industry area around other businesses. Pretty well hidden. You would have to know its location to drive back there. Once you drive into the parking lot, you see all the trees and the white brick building. The interior and outdoor patio is a beautiful space and we opted to sit out there during some nice weather. For a Tuesday night it was surprisingly full, we had a reservation for 6:30 pm and were sat right on time. The service of everyone we interacted with was great. Our server was friendly and did a great job explaining the menu and making suggestions. We ended up splitting a few dishes- the burrata appetizer, octopus picatta piccante, scallop spaghetti, and roasted airline chicken breast with risotto. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The cocktails were also well balanced and very enjoyable. All in all, glad we ventured out to that area of Mesa to enjoy a lovely dinner!
