Excellent service!!! Friendly staff!! The food was very fresh, and the happy hour prices were just right! I love the fact that it is Happy Hour ALL DAY on Mondays!!! Honestly, you can't beat that! I definitely will be back again, and you should definitely swing by for a visit! read more

I was totally dissatisfied with my service today. My server name was Amanda. Let's just say she seemed like she didn't want to serve me and my party. We ordered drinks just to be told the Espresso machine was broken. My friend ordered the margarita flight to say that frozen machine was broken. When the table next to us was brought out a frozen flight, HMMM THATS SUSPICIOUS!!! Next I told her I needed split tickets because I was paying cash and I had a 25.00 coupon for my bill. Nope she took my coupon and took it off the total bill then split it. I did not tell her to do this. Then she never bought me a paper ticket to pay cash, instead I had to use my credit card. Which I didn't want to. Also we ask for dessert and boxes. Well let's just say she never came back. I come here at least once a month. I have never but have but good service. But today it was horrible. If I had to score it. I would give a zero. The food was great but service SUCKS!!! I will stay away for awhile. Maybe she will quit!!!! read more

Looking for good service, solid portions, and fair prices? You won't find that here. We arrived for a 6 PM reservation for four on a Saturday and were seated promptly. The restaurant was about two-thirds full, so I didn't expect any delays. Still, it took nearly 30 minutes for our drink order to arrive. Our waitress refilled our waters twice and apologized, explaining that the bar was overwhelmed. It even looked like a manager had stepped in to help the lone bartender, while some servers resorted to making their own drinks. Maybe someone called in sick--it happens--but the slowdown was hard to ignore. Once drinks finally came out, the appetizers followed soon after. The potstickers and egg rolls were tasty, though portions were modest for the price. Entrees took longer than expected, testing the patience of even the most understanding customer. Once they arrived, everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I had opted for the $41 Wagyu meatloaf. It came wrapped in bacon and topped with a sweet chili-style glaze, the serving was about the size of a fist. Both the potatoes and meatloaf were lukewarm at best. I decided to just go with it until I hit the cold center. That was it for me--clearly pre cooked but nowhere near warm. Honestly, you can't even reheat high end meatloaf properly? Manager took it away and apologized, offering to replace the meal, but we had waited long enough and I was out of patience. With so many solid options in the area offering better service and consistency, I don't see myself coming back. Judging by other recent reviews, it seems the decline of Kona might be catching up with it. read more

It had been several years since we've been here. My son wanted to go for his birthday because of their miso sea bass entree. Unfortunately, they have taken it off their menu. When we got there I ordered the margarita flight, which I was told was unavailable. Then I ordered the avocado spring rolls, which I was told was out of stock. Not a good way to start. I ordered the sake flight and so did my son, but we were only brought one flight. We ordered the calamari and chicken satay appetizers. The calamari was a very small portion with more peppers than calamari. I got the Asian salad with shrimp which was good but a much smaller portion that I would expect for a "large" salad which costs $29 (and smaller than in the past)!! My son got the sea bass sliders which were tiny. Overall the portions were small for the price. I don't know if it's the economy or what but the restaurant was less than half filled on a Friday night which shocked me. But maybe it was the prices. The sushi on the menu was very expensive too. read more

I recently dined at Kona Grill in Troy and had a generally positive experience. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and tasted fresh. The service was ok, and the atmosphere was modern and inviting. My main criticism is the portion sizes. While the quality of the food was good, the portions felt quite small considering the prices being charged. For the cost of the entrees and appetizers, I expected a more substantial serving. The meal was enjoyable, but the value for money left something to be desired. Overall, Kona Grill offers tasty food and a pleasant dining experience, but I hope they either increase portion sizes or adjust pricing to better match what guests receive. read more

We've only been to Kona Grill during happy hour -- and honestly, that's the way to do it. The food has always been solid. We've tried the spicy tuna roll, crab crunch roll, spicy shrimp tempura, avocado egg rolls, macadamia nut chicken, sliders with fries, regular edamame, and angry edamame -- all from the happy hour menu. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. The portions are smaller than the regular menu items, but it makes it easier to order more and enjoy different options. We also ordered the fire dragon roll (tableside fire-finished) off the regular menu -- fun presentation, but the alcohol flavor from the fire overpowered the roll a bit. The happy hour prices make it a great value, and the atmosphere is lively without being too loud. Service has always been quick and friendly for us. Izzy was our server on our most recent visit, and she was very kind and attentive. I've seen mixed reviews about regular dinner service and pricing, so we'll probably stick to happy hour -- it feels like the best time to enjoy Kona Grill. read more

My friend and I went during Happy Hour. Waitress Kim was excellent. We got sushi and sliders then ordered surf-n-turf which was enough for two. The green beans and potatos were devine and the steak was cooked to perfection. Then I got 2 desserts on the house for my birthday. Everything was absolutely delicious. read more

Came in on a Saturday morning around 11:30am. There were no other tables with people dining in yet. Placed order for take out. Sashimi and sushi order. Prices online and at the restaurant seemed different. At the restaurant seemed cheaper. Got the order ready within minutes. Quick and efficient! All the sushi and sashimi from here were great! Especially Eel Sushi and Eel Sashimi were phenomenal. Slightly crispy on the surface, juiciness and warm eel with the sauce was the best eel I have had since the eel dish I had in Japan earlier this year. Salmon, tuna and yellowtail were also good but the eel stood out! The only down side is the price. Prices are very expensive, basically paying $4.40 per sashimi piece. If it was more affordable, I could see myself coming for sushi/sashimi more often. Four-star rating because of the price. read more

I was actually surprised at how empty it was inside for a Friday night. I enjoyed my time there though. Everything was delivered very quickly, plated beautifully, and tasted even better. I wasn't expecting the pretzel bites (not pictured) to come out so crispy but they weren't bad. I really loved the lemon garlic penne. It was delicious!! Would definitely come there again. read more

Very expensive and bland. This is my second time here this year and it again falls just below expectations. You can get much better sushi at many authentic sushi restaurant. I tried the steak this time and it was well done instead of my request for medium. I spent almost $100 on two sake drinks and my meal. The atmosphere is very dated. We were there with a big group and even thru they have an app to pay your check they could not split the bill which just creates a hassle for the group. read more

Stopped in for the late night happy hour after 9pm. We got a spot at the bar pretty quickly. The happy hour is very inclusive and has a ton of options for both food and drink! Great prices and variety. There is a $3, $6 and $9 section on the full page menu. We got a couple rolls, some potstickers, chicken satay and sake bombers. Service was a little slow though even though it wasn't too busy. The bartender was a bit busy chatting with the one other couple he was serving. Seemed they were friends. He was also on his phone a bit but we were able to grab his attention when needed. Sushi was fresh, satay was tender and potstickers were flavorful. Will definitely be back for happy hour! read more

Extremely long wait for everything the food was mid .......drinks are overpriced for what you receive

Went for dinner to Kona Grill with several friends and it was not the best experience. The ambiance is lacking, very plain dining room without any sense of comfort or design. The service was meh. Our server would dissappear for long stretches and we had to ask other people to get things or call her back. The drinks were unimaginative and just ok. Three of my friends ordered lemon drop martinis that all had to be sent back. They came in rocks glasses and all were too bitter and concentrated and tasted like a lot of lime juice and no alcohol. The food presentation was decent and everyone said that it was tasty enough. The check out process was terrible. They bring a device to self pay. They won't split the bill if the party is over a few people 3 or 5 I can't remember. The only way to split the check, is for the device to be passed around, and each person has to calculate their own total, including the taxes, and then pay your share. With 10 people, this was an unnecessarily tedious process. Even if you could click on the items you had and the system would calculate the total and taxes for you would have made this better. This was just the appropriate end to the rest of the dining experience. read more

I absolutely love, I mean, love the butter cake here at Kona Grill. I have had several other butter cakes and find this to be the best I've ever had. The raspberry sauce with it is delicious. Although I told them, please do not heat up my butter cake, because by the time I get home, it's going to be hard as a rock. Of course they heated up my cake, and it was super hard by the time I got home to eat it. It's so delicious, I reviewed it twice. Now...... Kona Grill prices are ridiculous! $19 for loaded french fries, that have no meat on them only bacon bits, is insane. Shrimp fried rice for $19! The butter cake is almost $20, they called themselves rebranding but it's not the food, It's the prices! Ratings for butter cake only, when not heated up ....5 stars Ratings for price .......2 stars read more

I cannot say enough bad things about this place. From the flies buzzing around my food to the homeless man accosting me on the way out my advice is to stay away. We got here for happy hour which is a draw if you live in the area because it starts at 2 and has a big happy hour menu but the food is mediocre at best and frankly the drinks leave something to be desired. Two flies flew into our beer and the waitress didn't offer to replace it. Then when we were walking out there was someone sitting on the bench by the hostess as we said thank you and goodbye. The man followed us out and tried to start a fight in the entry way of the building. No one tried to stop it, no one came to make sure everything was okay. The man was clearly homeless just sitting in there bothering the hostess and accosting guests. read more

Ate at an odd time (2:15P), and restaurant was not even close to full. Atmosphere/Ambiance pleasant. Our server, Karl, was very friendly and welcoming. Checked back, always with a smile, several times to see if we needed anything. Food was very tasty, however, as some have stated, quite overpriced. We asked for our appetizers first, entrees after. Contrary to our request, entrees were brought out first, and that was disappointing, but food was very good. Their lemongrass clam chowder ($17) was delicious, even though the clams were hard to find. Lots of bacon and bursting with flavor. Loved that it was a creamy broth and not overly thickened. Asian salad ($20) was crisp and fresh. Ordered their Macadamia nut crusted chicken (additional $6) to be added, but salad came without the chicken. Waited about 12-14 minutes for chicken to arrive. Also asked for dressing on the side, but it came mixed into the salad. Chose not to complain. Husband got the Kona Seabass sliders ($25). Fish was white, mild, and flaky and came with their house-made chips (get them! they're SO good, and NOT greasy!). He also got the SIDE Asian Salad ($15) which you can see pictured. Manager came to us at the end of our meal and apologized for the mix-ups. Total bill for 1 soup, 1entree salad, 1 side salad, and 2 sliders was $81.62 before tip. Karl was great, so we tipped him well. We'd try it again, as meal was delicious! Hopefully, next time won't have the mix-ups and delays! read more

We did not eat because upon entry the floor was pretty dirty. So we took a seat at the bar and went to use restroom. The ladies restroom was unacceptably dirty and because of that I would not order food there. My husband went into men's where the urinal was wrapped in plastic and unusable. He said "not filthy" but not clean. We ordered 2 beers , let the bartender know about the restrooms and that we wouldn't eat because of concern of cleanliness. She was great! Good conversation, she shared our concerns with someone? , we enjoyed our beer and left. We have eaten here before but will not again because it's not clean and my nose says there may be an issue with vermin, and an overall feel of grime. read more

Hands down the worst service I have received in my life. We got seated at 8pm for our 7:30pm reservation (on Mother's Day so the wait was not a huge deal since they were PACKED). But we didn't get our food until ~9:40pm. My teenagers and 8 year old were absolutely starving by the time the food came out. The waitress smelled like smoke and it kept getting worse as the night went on. She clearly went on breaks to smoke. She was an older woman and she kept swearing in front of the kids saying she doesn't know wtf is going on today with the kitchen. She didn't even give all of us water even though we kept asking. Awful experience. The food was disgusting now too. Not sure what happened to this place. It used to be great. Super disappointing. read more

Food was good. Waiter was not great. The bar was full of dirty glasses. I requested a table on the patio and was told it was closed for a private party which was not true. There was a party but they were in the back of the patio they did not have the entire patio taken over. It was okay. read more

I usually DoorDash the KG burger when I'm craving a burger. It tastes really fresh, not soggy. The fries are pretty good. I like that they place the toppings on the side. Their ranch is also really good. However, I'm not really a fan of their new sauce. I haven't dined in, in a couple of years, but I remember the ambiance being great because the staff has always been so nice. In my last order I found a brownie, which I was excited about because I was craving something sweet after my meal. The brownie was really good, would definitely get it again. Shout out to Libby!! Thanks girl :) read more

The service is ridiculously slow. 2 plus hours now and still waiting. Manager came by to apologize that the kitchen was backed up. Sorry sounds like they seated too many tables for the kitchen to handle. The place is so loud that you can't hear someone three chairs away. Expensive as well. 30 for a burger is a bit ridiculous. 20 for a sushi roll. I hope my burger is good. lol Update: we received our meals 2 1/2 hours after ordering. My burger was overdone. Wife's sea base sliders had less a tablespoon of fish on each slider. It was sweetest day but the staff was overwhelmed and terribly insufficient for the crowd size. Telling your guests "thanks for your patience" is not adequate after a 2 1/2 hour wait. Especially when we had reservations and other parties were seated and served before us. Yes, our party was large, but they accepted the reservation, so I expected they would be able to handle our party. They should have made it right, by crediting a portion of our meals or something, but no, just "thank you for your patience". read more

It was my grandmothers birthday and they don't seat you until at least half of the party gets there. There is indoor and patio seating available. I ordered a watermelon margarita and the pad Thai noodles and added shrimp. The margarita was good, but it was gone in like 5 seconds I wish they had bigger glassware. As far as the noodles. It came with eggs and peanuts, chicken,shrimp, bean sprouts, etc. but they were so good even with warming it up the next day and adding the lime to it was a great touch 10/10 next time I'm coming for the sushi read more

Updating to 5 for truly fantastic service and food during Happy hour. I think between separate trips we have tried all the apps (no drinks, though). Our favorites and most value were the shrimp + steak (not on menu), $14. That alone will fill you up! Other favorites were the shrimp tacos, chicken lettuce wraps (sauce was wonderful on this), macadamian chicken (that is a very unique sauce!), crispy avocado egg roll (crunchy, soft, and warm). I did not like the sliders as it was two small patties and felt not worth it, ribeye meatballs (again, small and not very juicy, $4.5 per meatball), chicken satay (just not amazing), bbq chicken pizza (a bit heavy on the bbq sauce). Service was great, prompt, and accurate. Made sure steak was cooked nicely. Ambiance is a good dinner atmosphere. We enjoyed our time much more this time and will likely be back for HH or non-HH times. read more

First time at Kona Grill. Tried their happy hours menu with family. Overall a great experience. Ambiance is great. Service is mediocre. But food exceeded my expectation. Honestly the best item is actually the kids menu salmon for $8. Probably the best kids menu out there. My toddler loved it. Also comes with a drink and supposedly an orange bear that we didn't receive. Regarding the other happy hour options. We also got 3 shrimp tacos and some sliders that didn't make it to the photo. Overall, I think happy hour is a pretty good deal for the portion of food we received. Highly recommends the shrimp tempura and lettuce wrap (both $9 items). The bbq chicken flat bread was a decent size but way too saucy and sweet for us. The surf and turf was good, just unfortunate that you can pick how you want the steak cooked. Overall would probably return for happy hours again. read more

I ordered "Sea Bass Fish & Chips". It was pretty disappointing. I was expecting a piece or two of fish that were battered and deep fried, like normal fish & chips. Instead, it was three patties of chopped fish that were breaded and deep fried. They just were not very good. Basically I feel that the description of the dish is misleading. I definitely would not order this again. My suggestion is that the dish be properly labeled-- or eliminated, because as I said, it was mediocre at best. read more

Thought I checked in when I had the Christmas lunch with the Meetup group I have. One of them suggested that I scheduled the Christmas day lunch here and others agreed. We had a full table including a few new members. I was happy to find a place with a good menu that takes reservations for larger groups that need separate checks. While the prices were a little higher than normal, we didn't mind because we hoped the staff that gave up some of their holiday was taken care of. Kitchen was a little slower but still not bad. Service was good and everyone loved their food. No one had room for dessert. I think I will schedule another meal here in the spring since the menu is variable with something for most. Adult drinks menu is bigger than the food but the food is not an after thought as others that also have larger drinks menu. Will be back again. read more
