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

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

I came here many years ago and was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it is not the same. Not the service, not the food and definitely the pay system was a pain. I know this place can do better. read more

Christmas dinner. Prime rib salty thin and tasted more like a steak than prime rib. Lobster super small not like a medium prawn. Girlfriend got Turkey. It was dry Tasted like turkey loaf. Not from a fresh cooked bird. $16 for pumpkin pie that was average. Gave two stars cause service was very good. Coffee was very good read more

Our server Amanda, manager Calvin, and assistant GM Nick are amazing! They went above and beyond to help fix a horrible start to a big milestone birthday! read more

A first visit for us to Kona grill. I truly didn't have expectations coming in. We were promptly sat on the patio and weather was great so excellent choice. my cocktail was an expresso martini. I am never one to complain about a strong drink, this one was way strong, made the drink unenjoyable. Server brought a bit of the expresso mix they use and i was able to blend it together and make this work. our food was excellent. Not a long wait time at all. I do wish there was just a little space between the appetizer and entree. They were almost back to back hitting the table. Our server was very attentive, restaurant was very clean and I liked that a manager just strolled the dining room talking to customers ensuring everything was satisfactory. Nicely done Kona, we will return! read more

Been here a fair few times and love the crew. Staci is one of our favorites. She has me obsessed with the patio bubble and always has one ready. She knows our usual order by heart. The spicy crunchy tuna roll is my favorite. I'll always come to Kona for Staci service and hospitality. read more

I have to give a shout out to Kona for how well they handled our Mother's Day reservations. We were able to snag a last minute reservation for 7 people and although we didn't get seated for almost 30 minutes after arriving, the service and the food made up for it. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. No complaints at all. I asked for my steak to be medium rare and it was closer to medium but I really enjoyed it. The lobster roll was just ok, honestly their sushi is not very good and never has been but overall a fantastic meal! read more

We had a 730 reservation. Our food was served to us at 940pm! Yes, we waited OVER 2 hours!! Terrible service, mid food, manager was a jerk, it seems like this happens there frequently by the way the wait staff was acting. We will never be back. We are so incredibly disappointed and I could go on and on about how terrible it was, but frankly, I'd just like to forget this crappy meal experience and get on with my life. Don't go! Obscenely expensive! Bad service, bad management. 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

Two stars for the ambiance and hostess stand. First off the prices are just crazy. I know everything is more expensive but $20 for a frozen hamburger patty and a small portion of fries is just crazy. Most entrees are in the area $30. Service wise , they were friendly but inattentive. Water glasses went empty and I asked for mustard with my burger and I didn't get it. Not sure why but we are never served all entrees at the same time. Someone is always left waiting for their meal and that is unacceptable. It has been a couple years since I have eaten here and thought we should try it again hoping for an improvement. Unfortunately the only thing that has increased is their prices. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Our server was new and was extremely sweet and tried to be helpful. That was the only positive. They were out of several items because "they were changing the menu". Ordered a filet medium rare. Once was well the next one was raw. They were out of wines, out of tahine for margarita rims, out of kettle one vodka and on and on. The experience was unacceptable. Would not recommend. read more

Last night me and my family gave this place another try after a very unpleasant experience for Mother's Day. Not only the service was impeccable, but also, we got to try some new plates recently added to the menu. We simply loved the experience we had. Food was simply amazing but what really stand out was the service from our waitress and how the Assistant Manager Lisa was checking if we needed anything. This really flipped things around from my previous experience, to become one of the most memorable nights me and my family have had at a restaurant. A bit sad they ran out of their signature dessert, butter cake, but had some other great options like cheesecake, brownie and the largest piece of carrot cake my eyes seen, everything was delicious, just sorry I forgot to take a picture. read more

The food is average and over-priced. The ambiance is nice. Darker lighting but you can still "see". read more

Nice restaurant inside. Although a bit loud. The service was simply super super slow. Took 20 minutes to get the drinks, another 20 to get food and then 30 to get dessert. A dinner that lasted 2 hours. Way too long, especially for the price. The food was. Ery good though, even though they gave o e us the wrong meal initially. And yes it was at least ten minutes on the refire. The server was friendly and good. But paying these prices and taking two hours fur two people is simply ridiculous. read more

Let me preface this by saying that I feel I'm being generous with a three star review. I usually only give a two star for bad service or a dirty location. Kona looked as great as always and the staff was pleasant. However if you're paying $30 for a lunch size portion of stir fry, it should be top notch. The chicken was slightly dry, the veggies mushy, the sauce not very good. No nuts or water chestnuts to add a crunch. The broccoli were pieces that I would have thrown in the trash if I were cooking. Hard stems should not be part of a nice stir fry. I went to lunch here today for a work meeting so I didn't make a fuss. But I definitely would not order this again. Stick with the macadamia nut chicken or Asian salad, folks. And btw.... toooooo loud at this restaurant. I had to keep asking the person sitting next to me to repeat herself. read more

The food is good, however the service is terrible! We just went for the second time and again experienced the same bad service. Both times it took forever for a server to appear and to order drinks and our meal. It also took a very long time to get both drinks and our meals!! And by the way, it was not busy! We also had to flag her down for silverware! This is the way it went both times we were there! When it was time to pay the bill she told us to use the device on the table to pay our bill. No directions on how to do it! What happened to service? She was very nice and sweet but how do you tip for that kind of experience! We will not go back for a third chance! read more

Do not eat here i was waiting for 2 hours for food and no food service its crazy don't eat here

The day you go to a restaurant shouldn't dictate how good the service is. I don't care if they have the B Team working; the service should always be good. That's on the management to sort out. This is why our Thanksgiving visit was such a shock. We saw that the prices weren't low, which reinforced the expectation that the service would be great. But, after an acceptably casual drink service, we found out that they didn't have pickles, apparently anywhere in the building. All my wife wants on her burger is pickles and mustard, but she had to wait until the burger was delivered to find out (without mustard). Had she known earlier, she could have changed the order. The fries were cold, as was the burger, but we were hungry. The burger is flame broiled, and it's good. Plus, two quarter pound patties means you will probably have some to take with you. It would have been better served when it was still hot. We asked for the fries to be remade, which took until halfway through the meal to arrive. The miso mashed potatoes my son got with his burger were surprisingly bland. And, in keeping with the theme, they and the burger were cold. My wife's mom was happy with her (lukewarm) stir fry. I tried some, and I have to agree. It was perfectly seasoned, but a bit small for $25. But, worst of all, my brother in law - who ordered the turkey dinner - didn't get anything. It took some chasing people down, and another half an hour, but he finally got his turkey dinner. And, you guessed it, it was cold. He sent it back, and got lukewarm food for his meal. We ordered desserts, and they came out one at a time, 5 minutes or so apart, even though we all ordered the same thing. We had to wait another 10 before the coffees arrived. Unlike everything else here, the coffee was hot. The carrot cake was really good. It had a homemade feel to it, with buttery rich icing, and it's massive. Like when the Detroit Tigers are getting shelled by another team, the manager came in, and relieved the server in favor of somebody else. The new server was attentive, but the damage had already been done. I would really like to try this place if they can get their service issues sorted out. They weren't even that busy today, though, so it's hard to imagine the experience being much better on a return trip. read more

Yikes. Fruit flies, at least 10 around us while we we were eating. The food was sincerely not good. The sushi honestly shouldn't even be called sushi. The roll was smushed, imitation crab and cream cheese rolled and tempuraed. The kids meals were fine. And the wine was great. But the atmosphere is nothing like you'd think for the high prices you're going to pay. I'm honestly shocked they are still in business. read more

#1 draw in - happy hour and a gift card I've been holding onto for years. The happy hour specials are unmatched these days. Three tiers of food options fall into categories from small shareable like shrimp tacos, chicken satay and edamame to sushi roll and spicy tempura shrimp. Which we split all of the mentioned dishes after a lengthy mall trip, ha. The ambiance could use some work, it's not what I'd envisioned - it has a bit of a late 90s vibe to it with a bit of an identity crisis upon walking in. They have the table side kiosks for grabbing your servers attention and paying... and paying for games/trivia which adds to a level of tackiness and convenience which I'm torn about. The floors had that just washed with oily water slickness to them. One major complaint is that Jones Soda is $9/bottle and they ask you if you want another like it's a beer or free refill. That was a bit steep and off putting. read more

Everybody's chicken came out raw, all the food was cold, very unprofessional had 3 different servers. Servers rarely came from the back, split our party up opposite sides of the restaurant. Do not come here! read more

I always love Kona grill, especially around happy hour time. I always get the chicken or shrimp Pad Thai but this past visit I tried the macadamia nut chicken and it was amazing. I might be converted. We love to get the sliders, edamame, and sushi during happy hour. The saké flight is really fun too! read more

We had April as our server for the evening, and she was absolutely wonderful. We've been to Kona Grill many times for our girls' nights, but this was by far the best experience we've had in a long time. April was attentive without being intrusive, made sure everything was taken care of, and had such a warm, welcoming presence. She truly elevated the entire night for us. We left feeling relaxed, well cared for, and already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Very nice atmosphere, very clean restaurant, servers and hostesses were very kind and accommodating. Their food looked great. Not a lot of gluten free options. There were 4 things identified GF. We got the 2 sushi items that were gluten free. They were fantastic but it would have been nice to have a larger selection. Oh and nothing available in the dessert department. Need to up their game. read more

Food good, but not served hot. Coffee was cold. We had a reservation, arrived 1/2 hour early and our table was given away. Twice. To two other large parties ( one was a walk-in). Food took forever. Waitress was personable, but overwhelmed with a table of 14. read more

Made reservations for 7:30. Didnt get sat til 8:10. 40 minute wait. That's crazy. It's now 9:20pm still don't have my starter (sushi and calamari) or been asked for a refill for my drink that's been empty for over 20 minutes. I ordered a salad and sushi. Neither of these require cooking. It's now 9:40. The table next to us said they were here for 3 hours. Didn't get their food yet. Went to bathroom and even a young guy in the bathroom was talking to someone on the phone saying the food was nasty and overpriced. read more

The waitress disappeared for long periods. Food was not consistent with the prices for the dinner menu. Won't be returning.

The sirloin isn't a real steak. It's bits of steaks glued together using a gross gelatin called literally meat glue.

If there was a zero star that would be what I would pick. Mothers day reservation. Over 1 hour behind. Thier excuse call center books for 40 locations and double books. Brunch menu sold out at noon ( 2 hours early) note they open @ 10am. Will never come here again. read more

Been here a while ago and decided to stop in and try something different and was happy with that choice. Had the pot stickers for an appetizer, main course was the sunset roll and my date had the korean ribs. All of our meals were good. The ribs were really good, tender and flavorful. read more
