Mark is the most amazing server ever! Go see him. He recommended the cucumber southside which was an amazing refreshing drink. Definitely must come.

Our Sunday brunch was here at Kona Grill with some friends. We had a party of 6 + two toddlers and high chairs were included! It has been years since I've been to a Kona Grill, and it wasn't too bad! It was nice a cool inside, dimly lit for an intimate feel but still very open. It did not look very busy when we went and had the typical restaurant chain feel. Our server was very helpful to our table and even to our little ones. They have a good-sized menu, but the pricing took me back a bit. I think I assumed a lunch menu would be available with lower prices. My family and I ordered a French Dip sandwich, Kona Grill Cheeseburger, and Kid's Bento (chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, and edamame) Our meal was pretty good! The Kid's bento is HUGE and my little one can eat but he's only 12 months (lol!) It was a very cute set up and they had cut a bear out of the orange that was provided. I ordered the French Dip sandwich, and that was VERY good: it came with homemade potato crisps, horseradish sauce, and au ju. The horseradish dip was not my favorite, so I skipped it, but everything else was great. My husband ordered the burger, and he gave it a thumbs up! I can not recall what the rest of our table got, but they also enjoyed their entrees. The chef had come out at some point to greet us and check in with our table. He also had given us some coupons to use next time, which was really nice. We also finished out our meal with dessert! The two other families ordered the Butter Cake, which looked really good and came with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. My husband and I ordered the carrot cake and holy-smokes, that buggah was HUGE. Most places will have an overly sweet frosting, but KG had a nice balance, and I think it was one of the best I've had in a while. It was nice to visit here again, but the menu was much pricier than I had expected, and if we had not been invited, we would not come out. BUT, if we had not been invited, I would have known about their french dip and carrot cake, lol!

By far one of the BEST places for Happy Hour! Food & Drink a like. Absolutely LOVE Kona and we take advantage of the amazing food deals during the weekday happy hours. They have changed the menu around a bit/ over time and you don't seem to get as many options, but with that said they still have great deals. They've broken down the pricing for certain menu items that are half off and of course smaller portions yet still are as flavorful & affordable. My first choice on their menu is their meatballs. The perfect texture with a sweet honey glazed coating. Then served with delicious shiitake mushroom, mashed potatoes, topped with a creamy peppercorn sauce & sprinkled with macadamia nuts on top! They're the bomb! Best thing on the menu IMO. I've tried to duplicate them many times and come close, but these are always better! My second choice would be their lettuce wraps. They are so tasty and never disappoint especially when you want something a little lighter. The regular menu also delivers so much more than just this. We've had their sushi rolls that are pretty good. The potstickers are delicious & my son ALWAYS orders their avocado egg rolls and flats bread bbq chicken. The poke bowls use to be offered on the social hour and that was the best priced item for the amount as it was a regular serving at half the price. Still wished they had that bargain as that's a delightful dish also! History: Kona was inspired right here in Arizona. The first restaurant originated at the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall in 1998. Currently, their corporate resides in Colorado. They are thriving respectively serving 17 states. Its concept & branding considers itself to be an American cuisine, sushi, and cocktails chain. However, I personally feel it gives off more of a Hawaiian vibe from the decor to the menu; definitely more Island inspired impression. FYI: They offer an app. you can download for free to see featured specials each week, book reservations, look for new upcoming menu items and see what weekly updates are featured. Within that, the restaurant also has a rewards program where you earn points for discounts and it works for any and all of their locations. I enjoy this kick back especially since it's a place we frequent & I'm earning rewards while enjoying my time $ too! Suggestion: Highly recommend starting with their weekly early bird offers OR the reverse HH after 9 PM ( this is when we go as it's the best time and best service). Note: If you get Danny the Bartender; even better! You'll recognize just how nice and affordable this place is. Cheers!

Have the carrot cake!!! Our service was excellent. Glad good HH is back! We had the prime rib meatballs and they were amazing!

After going to the gym and running errands, I needed to get something to eat. Since it was Valentine's Day thought we'd beat the crowd and go for a late lunch and early dinner. We had an amazing experience, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The customer service was outstanding! Sara went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect by being attentive and helping us with deciding on a few good food selection. There's such an amazing variety of food to pick from. So fresh and delicious. I love the option of dining inside or out, either option presents a wonderful atmosphere.
