    Very good food! YUGE portions! But a very weird smell in the restaurant. We'll use the drive-thru next time. And the older gentleman ringing us up didn't know what Yelp was. Weird.

    I've been in twice for lunch now and both times have been great. I neglected to add the photo for the second meal just to give some variety, but trust me when I say that it was just as pretty lol. Okay! So the restaurant is in a large shopping center that stretches for a couple of blocks in Longmont - stores like Lowe's, Best Buy, various clothing shops, and a Petco are just a few in the area. There are also lots of restaurants around and very large parking lots to accommodate people. We went in most recently after a nice walk along the St. Vrain Greenway just down the road; we were feeling like grabbing a quick bite of something that wasn't going to sit like bricks in our stomachs lol. Kona has a fairly small dining area that feels like what you might see and experience at fast food restaurants; there isn't an over abundance of seating and food is ordered at a counter up front where you're given a number to listen for when your food comes up. The menu is pretty simple, while also giving a good amount of variety, and the price point I pretty reasonable. Both times I've gotten the "mini" meal, and both times I have not finished my plate. The first go around I ordered the fire chicken; the second time was the grilled chicken (which I sadly don't have a photo of... yet). I was expecting the fire chicken to be spicy, but it was pretty mild. The grilled chicken was prepared in strips that were easy to pick up with chopsticks. The meals also both came with a good amount of rice, macaroni salad, a couple broccoli florets, and cabbage. Both meals have been hot and fresh, and the flavors of everything are great! The restaurant is clean, including the restrooms, which is always a big plus for me. All of the staff members we've interacted with have been extremely friendly and are always smiling while they're talking with you. The food is obviously also very yummy and a great portion for the price point. I know I'll be back!

    I just ordered delivery through Door Dash and the food just arrived, when I tell you this food is stunning, I mean it! The flavor is spot on and it's fresh and I just genuinely appreciate the customer service that was provided on my order. I cannot wait to visit the establishment in person and experience the ambiance because I'm sure it's spot on as well. Thank you so much Kona Hawaiian BBQ you knocked this out of the park! Time to grub! - Krystal D

    Honestly I thought this was a place that my parents would like because it was kitschy and reminds…read morethem of Destin. So expectations were never high and thought it would be a tourist trap, yet, I wouldn't call Longmont touristy. So one day my wife and I got take out. Honestly, I was surprised. The food was fantastic. I don't remember what we got that time but it was memorable enough that we said we should go there for drinks and dinner. So a few months ago, not really craving anything particular and fresh off a hike but starving we decided to give it a try. Blown away. Food was exceptional. I got the salmon which is basically ordering fancy chicken at a restaurant. It was delicious. And the risotto was absolutely incredible. Service was great. When we asked what the server recommended he didn't give us a run around and say "well everything is good". He gave concrete recommendations and nailed it. Great place to go especially with family. Seems like it's a lot fun too

Uh, yes please! They have their own parking lot. We were welcomed in and seated as we had our reservations. The bathrooms were clean and well lit. The bar is located inside the pirate ship! We all came dressed in our tropical attire. The drink menu is fun and our server, Chase was the best! He gave us great recommendations and made the evening fun. We ordered the Pu Pu Platter for the table to share and then my husband and I split an order of the crab cakes. The platter had feta wontons, chicken wings (I'll come back to those), fried calamari, Spam musubi, red curry cheese tots, edamame, mac salad and seaweed salad. The seaweed salad was a new taste for me. I liked the dressing and overall it was tasty. The mac salad was traditional island mac. Good stuff. Edamame is not normally my fav, but this was seasoned well. Red curry cheese tots, yum!! The Spam musubi had a dipping sauce and together that was a tasty snack. The fried calamari, was crispy outside, not greasy and tender inside. Well done! The feta wontons were a fun combo of crispy wonton, cucumber and a creamy feta spread. Now, the chicken wings. They are not on the menu as something you can order on its own. I wish they were, as we would have ordered more! They come with a gochujang-teriyaki glaze topped with sesame seeds and scallion. Absolutely the best thing on the platter! Our crab cakes were made from Pacific Rock crab and accompanied by fresh avocado on a bed of smoked tomato pureé garnished with mango salsa. A perfect bite. I do need to talk about the drinks. My husband had a Zombie, Flor de Caña 4 year Oro rum, Planteray OFTD rum, cinnamon syrup, grapefruit, fassionola, lime and a dash of Leopold Brothers absinthe. He loved it! I asked Chase for a recommendation and he said his fav was the Three Dots and a Dash. I went with that. This drink had Dry Land Distillers aged cane rum, Planteray original dark rum, falernum, allspice dram, honey syrup, fresh lime, orange and Angostura bitters. I sipped and savored that for the evening. What a fun experience. I will definitely be coming back.

    A review from an Asian visiting from SoCal/OC:…read more This is for anyone but also uniquely targeted to Asians and those new to Hawaiian food. If you have been seeking to quench your longing (or curiosity) for asian flavors, this place is for you. My family ordered chicken katsu, short rib, and spam musubi. Things you take for granted that Kona nailed: rice, Mac salad, cabbage, katsu/teriyaki sauces. Katsu and short ribs were on point. My toddlers gobbled both of their musubis. My fellow Asian will have their souls relieved. The newcomer will have their taste buds awakened. Do support this business! Nothing wrong with "asian fusion" that blends the traditional with local flavors/preferences, but there's nothing like the taste of home. Thank you Kona!

Some diners were eating inside, so it wasn't completely dead. Food came out after 10-ish mins or so, but it was given to us by the cashier already packaged! We ordered the Hawaiian plate and the chicken/beef combo plate. We'd been to Kona Hawaiian BBQ at other cities before, so we knew what to expect. It tasted the same as the other locations -- everything was good! It even had more veggies than I remember so that was a plus! We had big pieces of broccoli and the meats were on top of steamed cabbage. It was exactly what we needed! The plates come with 2 scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. This place always hits when we visit a location!

We have had garlic chicken all over Hawai'i, from upscale to hole in the wall spots, and when I tell you this is the best we've ever had that's saying a LOT. Flavor, texture, portions... everything is consistently amazing every single time. We now order 3 garlic chicken plates -- one each for my husband and I, and one for our two young kids to share. Our foodie kids also know good food, and they both rave about the chicken for days after too! Never change, Iwayama!
