    Poke Bowl
    Tashelle W.

    First review and now a favorite place! Our first time here was wonderful. The food and drinks are great. It is a great spot for a girls night out or date night. The staff had some great recommendations.

    Steakhouse burger and three best friends that anyone could have!
    Tawni C.

    I knew I didn't love this place!! Figured I'd give it a try for third time andit wasn't my decision where we at this round. Yep, still hated it. I do love the ambiance! But I'm there to eat not look at the decor. The service was mediocre and the food is a hit and miss. Depends what you order. Steakhouse burger looked good Chicken wings don't do it! $15 house salad just store bought mixed greens, cherry Tom's and shredded carrots. You can make this salad for three dollars at home. Chicken and Shrimp Lettuce wraps See the picture! No explanation needed and we even asked for fresh lettuce!!! Same crap lettuce came out!! Also, totally the wrong type of lettuce for wraps! I don't recommended this restaurant. Sorry, Kona Grill.

    Sometimes I think that I'm missing out on really good menu items when I order "just a salad" but tonight, the salad was so amazing that I have no regrets. (I ordered the Sweet & Bleu, by the way). Fun place with a high energy atmosphere and an enclosed patio makes for a perfect fall evening. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious.

    Greasy, salty, overcooked, Kona Calamari*
    Benjamin B.

    Earned 2 stars for no wait time, our server was friendly, it wasn't busy, and they have the "pay on at the table" option. We ordered the calamari, salmon, and a salad. The calamari was overcooked/greasy and they brought out the wrong entree salad. The salmon (side of rice) was simple and $35. The correct salad never came and we had to leave. I hate giving 1 star reviews and maybe it was just an off night for them. Still paid for everything plus tip. The inside looks nice, wish it was better, but "it's gonna have to be a 'no' for me dawg."

    Poke bowl
    Andrew s.

    Poke Bowl? More Like a Poke-ful Adventure! My quest for the perfect poke bowl at Kona Grill led me to an unexpected adventure. I emerged victorious, but not unscathed. First, the sheer number of customization options was enough to make my head spin. Edamame, seaweed salad, crunchy onions - it was like a flavor explosion waiting to happen in a bowl. Then came the protein. I bravely chose spicy ahi tuna, but let's just say the spice level was more "volcano erupting" than "tropical island breeze." I heroically devoured it all, but my taste buds may never be the same. In the end, my poke bowl was a delicious, tear-inducing triumph. Kona Grill gets points for variety and freshness. 5 out of 5 stars. Sage is a great server also. Do yourself a favor and get yo butt to Kona Grill ASAP!

    A Must-Try! Loved our experience at Kona Grill! The rooftop views were stunning, the ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had sushi, steak, and seafood -- all perfectly prepared. Big shoutout to Rex, our server, who gave us exceptional service and made us feel so welcome. The cocktails were also a highlight. Can't wait to come back!

    Just okay! We gave 4 stars because the service was excellent. The food was alright but nothing wow. For the price I would expect a more wow experience. We sat on the rooftop and that was nice.

    food amazing, service was on point, environment was lively. we had our book club meeting here; the chef gave us a complimentary dessert. loved it.

    The interior feels like you're under the sea. My favorites on the menu are: Dragon fruit margarita and Patio Bubbles, 10/10. The house field salad and chopped salad were sooooo good! The garlic bread is cheesy I recommend the chocolate cake as a dessert. Everyone was friendly and kind.

    Happy diners

    This place was wonderful. We loved it. It's clean, beautiful and the people were very friendly and helpful. I'm surprised that the bad reviews cause we loved it there. I had the grilled salmon and my girlfriend had the sashimi. The salmon came with roasted broccoli and rice, and it was very good. Excellent. We ordered an order of seasonal vegetables and had the asparagus which was grilled and it was delicious. My girlfriend had a glass of white wine, which I tasted. It was very good and I had a nonalcoholic beer. Sam Adams and I had not seen that nonalcoholic beer before. Our server was wonderful, young lady by the name of Reddi. She was very helpful, polite and friendly. Interior had wall paintings and a large aquarium. Several single bathrooms. I wish it wasn't so far from my house, but I'll be back anyhow.

    Wife and I used to LOVE Kona back in Missouri and would go multiple times a year, post pandemic Kona definitely started to slide. After moving to Utah and tried this location once they opened and every time we've been it's just a bit disappointing. Value has definitely fallen off, they've removed sides from each dish, while ALSO increasing prices significantly. And quality seems to have gone down on certain recipes as well. I got the Sweet Chili Salmon and the rice is just jalapeño mush, the salmon is mediocre. The happy hour items are solid. But it blows my mind trying to charge $15 for edamame The staff here is typically cordial but both recent times we've gone around 8:30-9:00. Everyone seems to be focused on their end of day tasks and getting out by 10:00 on the dot, rather than waiting the tables. And the food has been quite slow both times, to the level the wait staff is apologizing for the wait both times. Trending on giving up on this once great restaurant brand.

    My happy hour lunch!
    Stephanie C.

    Had such a fun lunch with friends. We ordered off the Happy Hour menu and it was perfect to sample all the yummy things! Cornell and Renata gave us the best service. Can't wait to come back. This restaurant is a GEM!

    At first impression I thought this place was going to be really good. The ambiance and look of the place was great. Music was a bit louder than I would want for visiting with my dinner party. After all is said and done, 5 star is nowhere in the realm of possibility with how it is. 1. 4 in our party, sat in a 6 top. "We" moved the extra settings to the end of table where they remained for the entire evening. Hostess should have removed upon seating 2. No water until well after we seated and ordered beverages, and we had to ask for it. And had to ask for refill. 3. Server was not very knowledgeable, had to go ask for answers to our questions. 4. Didn't tell us about any specials or promos, we had to figure it out ourselves. Just happened to see the board in looking around. 5. House wine is Black Box? Come on, box wine for a 5 star (claiming) establishment is laughable 6. Out of several beers on tap.....on a Friday night..poor planning on mgmt. I was really looking forward to Kirin on tap, never had it that way, then couldn't get in bottle either only the light, and I wasn't doing that. Had to settle for Lauganitas. Like I have had that before......smh!!!! I go out for trying new things 7. Food was ok, definitely not 5 star. Bland unseasoned fingerling potato's? Come on now, zest them up with something, serve them crispy not bland and soft. Steaks were good, not great or anything but, poke bowl was small and not much protein. Yes it's on the lighter side menu, but there was maybe 2oz of tuna. Sushi roll was nice to look at, tasted pretty good. Meatballs were really good. So apps were the best part of the meal. 8. Plates never removed after finished, we had to stack them in middle of table to get them from in front of us. Even after dessert was served, they stayed. Never removed. This is a MAJOR, MAJOR foul. And deserves a serious ass ripping of your staff. 5 star is nothing on the table to remind you of the gluttony you just finished. Two hostesses standing around doing nothing leaning against the wall gossiping and sipping on a beverage in a styrofoam cup, two individuals in sushi bar doing nothing but playing grab ass. Other servers and personnel milling around. No mgr in site anywhere......come on TEAM!! Help each other out, open your eyes as to what you can do to help your team. All this screams 3 Star at best, and the prices you are charging for this 3ish Star is a disgrace. We go out with this other couple once a month to a high end place we have never been, this by far is in last place. You have a ton of potential, mgmt needs to straight up. Do better or you will be closing up shop before you know it.

    This is the story of a love affair that started nearly a year ago... from 250 miles away…read more I'm from Idaho, and somehow Big Mango found its way into my Instagram feed. One look and I was hooked. I immediately pinned it to my restaurant bucket list and started scheming up just about any excuse I could think of to justify a four-hour drive to Riverton. Eventually, I ran out of excuses and just made the drive. For months I'd been studying the menu like I was preparing for a final exam. On one hand were all the incredible traditional Thai dishes. Having been to Thailand three times, I'm always chasing that meal that can transport me back without requiring a 24-hour flight. On the other hand, there were so many creative fusion dishes that looked impossible to pass up. After an embarrassingly long internal debate, I landed on the Double Wagyu Smashburger. It. Did. Not. Disappoint. Normally, there's about a zero percent chance you'll catch me ordering a burger with raw onions. But this one deserved my trust, so I ordered it exactly as intended. The red onions were diced so finely, and paired so perfectly with the crispy onions, that my taste buds completely short-circuited. I'm pretty sure I briefly left my body. Every expectation I'd built up over the past year was somehow exceeded. Needless to say, I'm already trying to come up with my next completely reasonable excuse to drive four hours to Riverton again. See you soon, Big Mango.

    I came here with really high hopes, and unfortunately I left a bit disappointed…read more The restaurant itself is very loud, but the biggest issue by far is the portion size compared to the prices. We ordered the chicken Pad Thai for about $17+, and the amount of food we received was honestly shocking. Pad Thai at most restaurants is usually a decent-sized portion, and I had planned on sharing it with my daughter. There was nowhere near enough food to share. For $17, I expected much more than what looked like a very small serving. It felt extremely overpriced for the amount of food on the plate. We also ordered the Korean corn dog and chicken fried rice, and overall the value just was not there. When you are paying restaurant prices, you should not leave feeling like you barely received enough food. I will be posting pictures with this review so people can judge the portion sizes for themselves. I really wanted to like this place, but based on the portions and pricing, I would not recommend it. Buyer beware if you are expecting a filling meal for what you are paying. That being said, the food had very good flavor and was spot on as far as being authentic. You had to scan a barcode on the table to order, very little interaction with the staff. But with white little interaction, we had they seemed friendly.

Kinduva' weird location...here, a nice upscale restaurant hidden in the middle of a strip mall surrounded by shoe stores, fitness boutiques, and hair salons. But a true hidden gem! We made online reservations (just in case), and were seated promptly. Nathan R was out waiter and he did an exemplary job taking care of us. The place is beautifully decorated in a minimalist way, and we both enjoyed pouring over the menu (also somewhat minimalist in its offerings), but offered up some great choices nonetheless. We each had a beer from the adult beverage menu...and for dinner my wife ordered the Shrimp Scampi, and I had the special of the day...a Pork Tenderloin plate, both with salads. Both entrees and salads were de-lish. And Nathan also bought out a complimentary dessert to celebrate our 43rd...and the cheesecake was awesome. What a great place this turned out to be. Yes, its affiliated with The Tiburon in Sandy, where we've also spent a few anniversary dinners. But this new venue seemed a bit nicer and more receptive (and waaaay quieter). Five Stars for excellent food and service. We will be back.
