    Spicy Tuna Roll* ** Eel*
    Paige G.

    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.

    Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll* **

    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
    Charleen B.

    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

    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.

    Chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps
    Aini R.

    We made a reservation through Resy to take advantage of our Amex benefit, but our server told us when we went to pay that they are not part of Resy--which was strange, since they were still able to find our reservation. We paid via the kiosk on the table. Hopefully, we'll still receive our reimbursement. Food-wise, the kids loved their bento box kid's meal with the "bear orange." It's definitely a great value at $8, which includes a main entrée, two sides, and a drink! The happy hour menu was also a good value, especially the chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps and the sushi rolls. The potstickers were tasty, but I didn't feel they were a good deal for happy hour. The surf and turf was good as well, although we requested medium and it came out medium-rare. Since we were in a rush, we didn't send it back. The grilled shrimp was very good! The rice on the sushi rolls were a little dry for me, but overall it tasted decent for the price. The spicy tuna roll was not spicy at all. The large fish tank behind the sushi bar was fun to look at, and the background music wasn't too loud, which was nice. The place is family-friendly, and we would definitely eat here again!

    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!

    Steak Frites
    Shannon S.

    Visited on a Friday night for date night. We made a reservation on Open Table for 6:30 and were seated immediately upon arrival. The waiter came in inder 5 mins to acknowledge us and to get our drink order, water for me, Sprite for my wife. He came back shortly thereafter to get our food orders. I order the Steak Frites which was a 6oz NY Strip and fries and my wife ordered the sweet chile salmon w/fried rice. The food came quickly and was got. I will say I was disappointed with the portion of my strip, you'll see in the picture. It looks smaller than 6 oz however it was tender and flavorful. I ate it in 3 bites. My wife's salmon was very good though, and I'm not a salmon fan. The fried rice was just as good, although it was a weird combo; we've never had salmon and fried rice. The bill for all this was a little north of $70 so quite pricey. Only reason for 3 stars is I've been to other places and ordered steaks and their 6oz is bigger.

The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

    Hubby & I had dinner here last Friday night. We made a reservation. The earliest you can make it…read morefor is 5:00. We arrived a little early, so they told us we could sit at the bar & have a drink. We sat there for 15+ minutes & the girl getting things ready for the bar totally ignored us. Right before we were seated someone else took our drink order & said she'd bring them to the table. Hubby got a beer & I got a Tito's & cranberry juice. We ordered an appetizer. While we were waiting they sat another 4 with us. We all expected dinner & a "show", but none of us expected the show we got. One of the staff started screaming at another staff member. We had no idea what the female staff member was saying since her words were not in English. She was so loud & screaming in the bar area so the entire restaurant could hear her. A couple of staff members tried to claim her dow. This went on for several minutes. It was crazy. All us customers were silent & just looking at the girl screaming & yelling. The next thing we know, round two. It was unbelievable. What was even crazier was they didn't send the staff member home! No one came over & said a word. No one apologized or said anything. After all of this, they sat couple with us. Finally the chef came to the table. By this time it was 20 til 6:00. Hubby got the filet with fried rice. I got the shrimp with fried rice. The food was good. However, hubby's steak was over cooked. Thankfully, hubby told the chef he wanted to change the steak from medium to medium rare, or it would have been even more over cooked. I also watch all of the employees but one prepping the food without gloves. This used to be our go to place for, but now with all this issues this time, we will probably have to find a new place.
