Everything here is wildly overpriced. Edamame is $12??? Poke bowl for $21?? Well it better be amazing. Spoiler: it is most certainly not. Nothing about warranted the cost. Skip this place. read more

The service for my pick-up was great! But the food was Terrible! My 11 year old daughter chose this restaurant because it's her favorite one to eat at! She said is this a "joke"?!?! Usually 3-4 shrimps are in the order when we eat in-house but with Corona we don't dare eat inside. The experience was definitely lack luster and we won't be partaking in dining there again. The sushi is adored by most patrons but I thought it was mediocre at best. read more

Kona Grill - El Paso - Child's Meal...Usually 3-4 Shrimps - Sushi Bars Near Me - Paso, Texas

My go to is pad Thai! Nice ambience and the happy hour! $3 beers you, can't beat that! Place to go!

Warning: Make sure to keep receipts and proof of purchase. I threw out my receipt and there was a miscellaneous charge for my check after I left. Way overpriced for what I could buy at the supermarket. Charged $125 for 3 entrees, plus 1 x salmon sashimi and 1 x tuna sashimi. Food came out in big plates, taste was not bad. Waiter was attentive as there wasn't a line or crowd maybe because it wasn't payday lol Only one star because the final bill that came out of my credit card was $137?!? I remember the check was $125 before tips. Where did the $12 extra charge come from? First and last time I am going to Kona Grill. There is a reason why I haven't gone to this establishment. My cousin is new to El Paso and I told her to choose any place so that's why we came here. read more

Kona Grill - El Paso - Sushi Bars Near Me - Paso, Texas

Went in on a Saturday night at 8p. Over an hour wait which, ok, I can understand. We get sat.. no server comes up to us. I had to go to the host desk where there were 5 host .. to ask if we had a server 20 min after we were sat. Server came, she was nice, but saw the menu and thought I was in the rich part of Austin w the prices. Like wtf! I ordered a Miso soup as an appetizer for $11. Had a small bowl of stir fry w white rice $28+. Had a family member order a small ass cheeseburger for $30. Coor light pint $10. We spent $200 for a party of 4, that included tip and trust me we did not indulge: I'm surprised this place consistently has customers w the prices. I know my review won't matter but I personally will never come back. I'd rather go to Indian cliffs ranch and get a thick ass steak and go to a zoo for that price. Or I'd rather rent a party hall w food included for that price. Or I'd rather take a family of ten to a local business for that price. Lesson learned. read more

I like Kona grill, food is consistent. My favorite dish is the Asian salad with Salmon, it is very good and healthy. I actually had the sushi this last time and it was good, not great but good. The atmosphere is causal and the wait staff has been great. If you are dining with a large group, be prepared to wait a while for your to be seated. 8/12/2020 very expensive and not that good, maybe Covid 19 related? read more

The service was excellent ! Thank you Manny very attentive and accommodating !! Food was delicious !

I ordered the Seabass sliders and the portion of fish is more akin to a piece of sushi. I was told that the portion sizes and amount of protein is intentionally being reduced while the prices remain the same. I don't recommend coming here to eat if this is their new practice. read more

Made a reservation for brunch and our party got sat right away. Our server Adrian made some great suggestions, like the ricotta fritters, they were amazing! We also had the Steak and Eggs and they were perfectly cooked. Shout out to Arturo, the manager as well! Highly recommend read more

I have really tried to like this place, so much where I have went 3 times and was disappointed every time. It is a beautiful restaurant with a fabulous ambiance, polite servers, but the food is not great. It lacked flavor, and it is very much overpriced. I have to say the mint mojitos were very delicious but with so much ice in the glass it was gone after about 4 sips. read more

Came here for a date night last night and The atmosphere and the ambience in this restaurant was amazing hence why I gave it three stars. The customer service that I received from our server Gigi, was great as well. The food however, was not up to par at all. My steak was so cold that it didn't even melt my butter on top of my food. The calamari wasn't that great either. Not sure if it just wasn't a great night or not, but we will most likely not return. Again the ambience in the restaurant was phenomenal I just wish the food matched. read more

Kona Grill - El Paso - Big Island Ribeye** 12oz - Sushi Bars Near Me - Paso, Texas

Midiocre service. They were not busy, but yet took them a while to not only take our order, but also offer us water refills. A small family came in and they did not even assist them, causing the family to walk out. When they did assist us they were friendly, but seems like the employees like to socialize more, opposed to assist their guest. My recommendation- just hit up a local mom and pop to get amazing food for less price. read more

For my first time here this place was pretty amazing. We must have hit it during a non peak time just before dinner and just after lunch because there was no wait and it wasn't really crowded. We started off with potstickers, Las Vegas rolls, and some cali rolls as our appetizers. Everything was amazing. Our server was very attentive and on top of drinks and anything we needed. The food was awesome, I seriously could eat here everyday if I wasn't watching my figure! Who am I kidding, I tasted everyone's food, and we took no doggie bags. We ordered Pad Thai, which was very flavorful, but a little spicy. Fried chicken, which came with fresh vegetables (butternut squash and spinach), this dish was excellent and was on the "seasonal" menu, and the kids items consisted of bento boxes with California rolls, mac and cheese, and sweet potato fries. I am thoroughly impressed with everything, and we even received little goodie bags with a coupon inside. We will definitely be back! read more

I went to the Kona for a good meal. The meal was decent but I ordered a sushi roll and shortly after finishing the roll. I felt something wrong and I immediately ran to the bathroom. I threw my dinner up. I think the seafood was not fresh. It took a while to recover. I don't recommend the sushi at this place. I don't believe they had or keep their seafood fresh. They offered my a water for all my troubles but that is all I got. After all of that they still charged me the full price. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Late Night happy hour rocks! Plus, Sunday night $10 cheeseburger and Margarita combo is a fun value

The best part: the cocktails. Downside it took over twenty minutes on a Tuesday night. The restaurant has a menu that ranges from simple sandwiches to sophisticated entrees. The sushi is average, although it was rolled in a way that it fell apart at the bottom making it more finger food than chopstick friendly. I ordered the new Korean chicken sandwich. There wasn't sweet chili sauce with every bite. I think the ciabatta bread could use a light toasting beforehand. It was slightly soggy and possibly the wrong bread to pair with tempura fried chicken breast. A lightly toasted simple bun would've let the other components of the sandwich shine. The taro fried paired with the tangy dipping sauce were delicious and I liked that it was something different from the usual side of fries or sweet potato fries. read more

Recommended by some fun friends who live in Vegas. Great brunch! Enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Typically I prefer to dine at local restaurants vs. chain restaurants. Decided to give Kona a try and regretfully it failed to deliver. Not only was the food significantly overpriced and lacking in flavor, but the restaurant was dirty. There were small flies hovering around our booth. The server lacked attention to detail and did not check on us after food was delivered. #Fail all around. Won't be back. read more

Had never heard of Kona Grill until it was suggested last night. We walked in and the host was friendly. Seems there is a happy hour that only applies if you sit in the lounge area and not the dining area. Drinks, appetizers and sushi are discounted. Obviously we chose the lounge area. We arrived around 6 pm. As we sat down, a table of men that sat directly beside us stood up. They passed by our table and one stopped and told us "Good Luck...she is slow." Oh no. Of course I whip out my phone and start documenting the times. 6:00 pm we choose our table. It's self seating. We waited chatting until another server came around at 6:20 and drops off the menu. She says "you're server will be here shortly." About 5 mins later our actual server comes up takes our drink order. I wasn't too hyped yet on the wait time since I was with a group of businessmen from China and I didn't want to seem rude or rushed. 6:37 someone from our group gets irritated and literally stops the waitress as she's walking somewhere else and says "can you please take our food order." She hesitates and comes over and takes it. No smiles, no welcome, no nothing. WORST...and I mean THE WORST server. I won't generalize because the other servers coming up to refill our water were chill. 6:55 water refill 7:04 we asked another server how much longer the food would be. We were starving 7:06 our apps came in!!!!! Yayyyy 7:14 food came All in all the food wasn't bad. We ordered way more food than needed. I tried to follow our server to see how many tables she had. I'm a server part time in Times Square and I know how difficult it can be when you have a million to tend to...but lawd jeesus...the restaurant was NOT that packed for her to take THAT long. Would I recommend this place for the food? Sure...just make sure your server isn't the one we had. read more

I've been here before and the first time was just ok. This time my wife and daughter came for happy hour (Mon-Sat 9p-close) and I must say this experience was a lot better. First of all the happy hour appetizer menu is bomb. They have the good ass lil sliders on there.....YESSS!!! You know I got me some. They also have the crab crunch roll....we got 4 . My baby got her a little bento box, she only ate the roll smh. I mean I don't blame her, look at the pic of the "Mac and cheese" UGH. She was still hungry so we ordered her another roll....y'all shes 5 . Anyway the service was extremely fast, which was surprising cause it was pretty packed last night. The waiter (so sorry man, I forgot your name ‍) was real koo he was good/quick on the suggestions, and ways to "cheapen" our bill (my kid wanted her roll a specific way, and he suggested we ordered another roll minus the sauce and it would be cheaper but the exact roll that my adorable but picky child wanted)which I thought was nice. I also told him about the Mac and cheese at the end of our dinner and he said he'd have the manager take it off which I thought was even nicer because I was just talking mess, I wasn't asking for a refund, but he gave us one anyway. He was probably tryna get a tip which we for sure wasn't about to give.....JUST KIDDING ! He was very nice and always made sure we had what we needed. He deserved every bit of they tip. Will be back for happy hour again :) read more

Like most Kona Grills, they have great eye candy. Food was o.k. although I was disappointed with the fact that they had no Kirin Ichiban and then when I go to order my Shrimp Tempura Naruto - crab mix, fresh avocado, cucumber wrapper, wasabi aioli, the dude said that none came up in the computer. I was like WTF. Do you have shrimp? Yes. Avocado? Yes. Crab mix? Yes. Cucumber wrapper? Yes. Then go and have them make that shit because that's like 60 percent of the items on your menu; so do these rolls come frozen? Dude was just like sorry. I was like whatever, just give me the app, I am not spending another dollar here. Thanks. Come if you want, and be ready for disappointment. Been to better Kona grills. read more

You know a place is good when it's open less than a month and the stellar reviews keep rolling in. Two words: Zaaaaaam Bae! Okay, okay...here's the thing, I think this Kona Grill could definitely earn a 5 star review from me in the future because like I said it's still in it's first month open so of course it's constantly packed and there are some kinks that need to be worked out. But overall, I am quite fond of KG and I will be a returning customer. Yesterday I hit up KG for Albert K's UYE/Angie M's birthday at happy hour. And I've learned one extremely valuable lesson: while the prices at KG are relatively low compared to a lot of places in this desert, HAPPY HOUR IS THE TIME TO GO! Each of my rolls were under $4! Crazy low! And the quality was so much better than any $4 sushi roll I've ever paid for (Albertsons sushi...I was young and dumb once, I didn't know any better). When I got my bill I did a little dance, shouted "A dollar makes me holla!", and contemplated ordering six more rolls just because...of course all of this went down in my head. R-r-r-rewind... Walking in I was a little perturbed by the hostess. I was running a little late so everyone else was already seated, but typically when I walk in somewhere with a hostess I'm greeted and if my table is already seated I politely decline being seated and I let them know what table I'm looking for. I walked in stood right in front of the hostess and waited for acknowledgement...never happened. Alas, I navigated my own way through this rather busy place and found my table. Interesting. I'm just going to say this...service sucked. Ya, they smiled and all that jazz, but the devil is in the details and a lot just ran over the servers heads. Yes, I realize it was busy...however I wouldn't expect crappy service from Chili's just because there's a wait (mind you it was busy at KG, but there was no wait) so the only reason I'm letting it slide is because they're ALL new employees. When I arrived the table had already ordered an app and their rolls. Their app had already arrived, but no one had plates. Very interesting. We were an 8-top table so that should translate to a bigger tip...step up your game, man! Anywho, I stole one of the Avocado Egg Rolls and I will say those things are delish! Crispy on the outside, smooth on the inside and the perfect honey-cilantro dipping sauce. I live in Margaritaville so when Angie told me about the Raspberry Margarita I knew I had to have one (I also tried Albert's Mango Margarita and boy is that thing good). The waiter appeared at the table to refill the waters and such, but didn't acknowledge me. Hmmmm...very, very interesting. When he came back with someone's refill I butted in and asked for a Frozen Raspberry Margarita. He was friendly about the order, carded me (which I'm okay with...but I'm pointing out because it's vital to this story) and brought it out promptly. No biggie. Then he returned with plates...minus one for me. I get it dude...I was late. But maybe he just counted wrong, whatevs. So since he carded me, him and I both know that he knows that there is an added guest to the table. He never asks to take my order...yes, I had to ask him if I could order. If this happened in any other instance I wouldn't even give it a second thought, but c'mon man there are just too many issues with service lining up. So I order after everyone's sushi arrived (their rolls didn't come out until maybe 20-25 minutes after I got there). The one saving grace was the fact that after I ordered my rolls arrived in less than 5 minutes. End service issues rant. Let's talk about food, man! I ordered the Philly Roll and the Spicy Tuna. Loved 'em both. Nothing out of this world spectacular (they're pretty basic rolls, but for happy hour prices...I'm in!), but they were fresh and had the perfect rice to filler ratio. And I have a weird thing for eel and eel sauce so I asked for a side of eel sauce which they happily provided...a small amount of eel sauce takes a Philly Roll to a whole other level. If I do the Spicy Tuna again I will probably ask for a side of Siracha or Spicy Mayo because it was a little mild, but regardless it was fresh tuna and fresh tuna is the way to my heart! Oh and before I forget, the margarita was heaven! Made exactly how I like my margaritas and men...strong and sweet! The ambiance is really thought out. Lighting is perfect and the outdoor seating looked really inviting (bonus points for having misters!). It's a very open floor plan, but with the mix of bar seating and table/booth seating, it really helps to separate everything. I like Kona. I'll be back. And I'll definitely update this review once I've experienced it without all the first month gitters. read more

Kona Grill is a hip and vibrant place, kind of like the Cheesecake Factory of sushi in the sense that it's is an upscale-ish yet casual-ish restaurant. I had actually never been to one prior to the El Paso one, but I definitely enjoyed it. The sushi here is very good, I'll caveat by saying that I'm no connoisseur and there's a lot of sushi stuff I don't eat, but I really liked the basic rolls I ordered: tuna, Philadelphia, and Checkerboard. The sushi menu does have plenty of more exotic options for those with more adventurous taste. Rest of the menu is Hawaiian Fusion, which shouldn't mean anything, but I'm having trouble categorizing it as either American or Hawaiian, regardless, there's lots of options. As a newbie I decided to try one of their specialties, the Macadamia Nut Chicken. It was good, but didn't blow my mind, it just didn't have a unique flavor to it, but it's a good safe choice. Next time I'm definitely getting the ribeye. Carrot cake is outstanding! Atmosphere is very trendy, but not in a bad way, it's mostly the modern decor and the non-stop Electronica upbeat music. Like I said upscale-ish yet casual-ish, you'll see people in suits, people in shorts, and everything in between. Staff is very friendly, helpful, and most importantly, attentive. They do take reservations if you want to call ahead. I think this place will be great for Happy Hour, their specials look really good and they have a solid drink menu. read more

Not gonna lie it's pretty pricey but you're paying for quality. Some meals offer small portions such as the stir fry and I wish they served more because it is just that good.

Finally i got a chance to go to Kona in El Paso. I had tried two times before and the hostess would say there was a 2 hour wait.... ugh no thanks. The reason why I put two stars is because of the service. Once seated, I asked for a glass of water and my brother started drinking from it (and he was sick) so I ordered another one and the waiter gave me some attitude... He proceeded to looked at the water at the table and then at me again. Umm rude! Had to explain why I wanted more water, which was unnecessary Second, we ordered an appetizer- the pepperoni flatbread, and I asked the waiter to bring it before the food. Did he? No. I had the chicken caprese sandwich. It came with sweet potato fries. The fries were soggy, like they had been just been sitting in the plate for a while, and came with a dipping sauce I could not figure out what it was... it was too watery. The sandwich was so-so because it was a bit cold. My brother ordered the lobster mac & cheese. He was not impressed. It is a nice place and it definitely can be improved. Won't be returning anytime soon because of the service, but I will give it another chance someday. I was expecting it to be like the Kona Grill in San Antonio... but it is not the same. :/ read more

Definitely not the experience I expected or hoped for. Restaurant wasn't very busy on a Sunday night, but we barely saw our server every 20-25 minutes. The digital menu is a QR code on a plank. And the least enjoyable part of the night was by far the food which was overpriced, underseasoned and had very small portions. They want to charge you $8 for a lukewarm bowl of miso soup that is smaller than the average cup of coffee. The stir fry with shrimp was bland, oh so very bland. This place will keep people coming in only because of a pretty good location at the Fountains. Don't waste you time or money here. read more

Nice ambiance, upscale restaurant in the fountain mall. Pricey, but mostly good. Potsticker appetizer came out cold on the inside so we sent it back; came out still cool in the center, but also very bland. Our waitress apologized and took it off the bill. My salmon with pork fried rice was delicious--perfectly cooked, moist, flavorful salmon! My husband said hid pad Thai was very good as well. The manager came by to check on our experience and we told him about the potstickers and he apologized as well. Excellent customer service and a lot of inside and outside seating. Will return if in the area again. read more

Going on opening night of any restaurant can be asking for problems. However, when we went to this place everything seem like it was a well oiled machine. It seemed as if they've been open for a long time and it wasn't their opening day. Three out of the five of us ordered appetizers. My sister ordered chicken satay. I didn't try any, but everybody seemed to enjoy it. It appeared that the chicken was well cooked not dry, but still juicy. I did try the coleslaw that came underneath it which was different because it had blue cheese in it. Also the dipping sauces, one which was a peanut sauce and the other one which was a hoisin sauce, are both excellent. My mom ordered spinach artichoke dip. This was one of the better artichoke dips out there because it actually had quite a few chunks of actual artichoke hearts and spinach; it wasn't overly salty! As for me, I ordered the angry edamame. It was your standard edamame, but there was a lemon spicy salt on the outside. I found it very addictive and would go back for another round if I could right now. For the meals both my dad and my niece ordered the jambalaya. I took a bite of it without the meat and it was tasty. It was actually a bit spicy which is nice! Mice sister order steak and potatoes. The steak was very well cooked as ordered. There was enough food on the plate that there was enough to take home for the dogs as well. My mom ordered the Apple and brie flatbread. It was enough for a meal. I was able to take a bite and thought that the apple and brie went well together. However I felt that it was more of a breakfast kind of food then a dinner food. It was a little too sweet for a dinner. I decided not to order the entrées as my dinner. Instead I ordered a couple of sushi rolls as well as a Nigiri. The first one I ordered was the coconut shrimp roll. It was a fried shrimp with macadamia nuts and it had mango and soy paper around. I was surprised that I like that one as much as I did. It definitely the heat of the wasabi to counteract the sweetness of that roll. The other role that I ordered was a checkerboard roll. It was a habanero tuna with checkerboard on top of yellowtail and tuna. I found this one disappointing because although it's at habanero there was absolutely no heat to this roll. I asked for extra habanero sauce on the side which made it better. Finally I ordered the sweet shrimp nigiri. That was two raw shrimp served over rice. They also came with two fried shrimp. I did enjoy the taste of the sweet shrimp, but the heads came out semi cold. Of course as we were so full that we couldn't breathe without unbuttoning our pants, we decided to order dessert. Our waiter recommended that we order the Keylime pie. Not a fan of such desserts so two of the three of us ordered desserts got that. I did take a bite and it was good for a citrus pie. It had homemade macadamia nut crust with a very very tart custard in the middle. I went for the Apple bread pudding. It was not too soggy which is often an offense of most bread puddings. It had a combination of apple, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. None of the flavors overpowered any of the other ones. I also have to commend our waiter. He was one of those waiters that doesn't hover around but is still very efficient when it came to service and refills. When somebody dropped a glass of water he came and cleaned it up promptly without giving any fuss about it. Usually you can see on their faces when they're annoyed to be doing something like that but he seems like he was okay with it. Also, unlike most servers I've had, when asked for recommendations he actually recommended something instead of saying, "Everything tastes good!" So if you go, ask for Chris. One last small thing: some little changes that can be made to enhance the stay. Number one, this place can be very loud. With the people in the kitchen talking loudly and the radio maybe everything should be toned down a little bit. Secondly, it was cold in there. And that's mainly because we are right under the air conditioner vent. However it was so high that stuff actually flew off the table as we were there. Finally, when getting refills, if the drink is still half-full don't hand the refill and take the other one. It felt like very much a waste. I can tell you with the experience that we had, this would definitely be a place I would return to. read more

Yep! I have them five stars! kona grill is so underrated and one of two of the only chain restaurants that I eat at period! The other is Rudy's. The location is the first thing that deserves all kinds of praise! The fountains make me forget that I am in a dirt ridden El Paso. The service you can't beat it and the restaurant atmosphere screams classy! I also love the Monday thru Friday happy hour! From 4 to 7pm Now for the food!! I love sushi and that's mainly why I go there I love the crunch rolls and the Bama rolls that's basically what I stick to! But I am always open to new ideas. the turkey burger is phenomenal and don't get me started on the sweet potato fries are awesome!! The bama roll is my favorites sushi bar none!!

Have been a fan of Kona Grill in Scottsdale, AZ, so was excited when I saw it was opening in El Paso. The food is great, drinks refreshing, and the atmosphere relaxed. We had the 7 spice ahi to start with a cucumber salad. The ahi is fresh and tasty with hot mustard on the side. We also tried the jalapeño yellowtail which also was very fresh. Next came the rolls. We had the anago shrimp tempura roll and dragon roll. Both were excellent. All of the seafood was super fresh. If we weren't in the desert, I would swear it was caught this morning. Took home the carrot cake, which a slice looks to be about half a normal cake , looks delicious will try it in the morning. The London Mule cocktail is like a Moscow Mule but made with gin; it was cool and refreshing. Overall, it was a great experience! Opening weeks can be tough until the kinks are worked out. Most of the kinks have been worked out ahead of time and it shows in the great service all around. read more

Blah. My favorite was the spicy edamame, it was delicious and not too overbearing. The rest was just meh. Flatbread was decent, shrimp wasn't great ( didn't help the server forgot to put the other in so it came out after everything) fries were stale, margarita flight was disgusting, no one at our table would drink it. I'm too old to feel like I'm getting some drink n drown tequila at the derby. Overall this is about the 3rd time I've gone to Kona due to friends suggestions and I definitely won't go back. Atmosphere has a nice vibe, it was clean, patio is open with misters during the heat, and they're taking appropriate precautions right now... food wise it just wasn't there. read more

They have one in Irvine, ca. And thats why I wanted to eat here. But some of their food wasn't that great. Sushi rolls: not high quality. The rice over powers the meat inside. I would NOT recommend. Avocado egg rolls: they are surprisingly good! If you like the BJ's avocado rolls, then you'll love these. It's actually better than BJ's because it has a lighter taste to it. Pulled pork sliders: must get! It's a little spicy. Comes with sweet potato fries. Lobster pasta: DONT GET it. It does have some lobster chunks but yo I can tell it's cheap pasta with shredded cheese from a bag.. most likely from Sysco's. It's not that great, would not recommend. Lobster and tuna flatbread: you should get it if you want to share with a large party, it's really big. Service- attentive and nice. Ambiance- hipster and loud music noise level. *sushi bar and the actual kitchen are in different locations of the restaurant. So you might get your food at different times. Overall, I would recommend if you come in large groups. It's lively but the food was a little disappointing. read more

This restaurant has sushi as well as American food. It is very fancy looking inside as well as outside, thus a little toward the pricy side. Main entree is around $20 and upward. I wasn't too hungry on this particularly day so I wanted something lighter so I decided to try the pan seared tuna. Basically, it is a piece of tuna on top of some rice and bok choy and Asian sweet and sour sauce. I thought the rice is a little undercooked. It's ok but nothing special and it costs $25. My other friends said the sushi are good but I am not sure. It looked ok. The service here is really good. None of us tried or willing to try American food, which probably say something. Overall, an average American/sushi bar place. read more

I'm sure they have better options read more
