    Cilantro Lime Chicken*
    Brittney S.

    Came in based on the beautiful lit menu out front it definitely drew me in as we were about to meet our Lyft! This place offers delicious sushi, sashimi, steaks and other tasty dishes. I got the cucumber salad (gf) and the Cilantro Lime Chicken with turmeric rice (gf). I must say that our server Diane, the host and the staff here were all friendly! The food was incredibly delicious and I was amazed at how well they handled food allergies. The cucumber salad was refreshing and paired well with my chicken they had a yogurt turmeric sauce on it and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I must say the bathroom was the one thing that could have used a little TLC, paper towels needed replenishing and due to it being busy it could have been touched up. Overall, the Kona Grill is definitely a place I would highly recommend and come to again!!!

    First time back at Kona since the Plano location closed. Went to this location about 430 for happy hour and it was completely empty. By the time we left at 8 PM it was live and I wish I could've stayed. The customer service was exceptional. The manager came to the table several times to make sure everything was good. The food came out hot and fresh and I wish you didn't go so early because the outside patio was really cute and I would've preferred to sit out there, but the sun was shining bright. All in all this location deserves a 10 out of 10 and I will definitely be back.

    Stopped by here for a drink before an event. The bartender was great very personable and attentive. The happy hour can't be beat for beers in dallas. Got specialty beers for $3.50

    I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would definitely come back again

    Steakhouse Burger
    Jarome W.

    I came to celebrate a friends bday and I was highly satisfied with my choice! The server was a bit overwhelmed as she had several tables and a large party! The food was delicious I ordered the smokehouse burger with extra cheese! It was the perfect choice, it was flavorful and a nice size! My friend ordered the salmon which was also great! The calamari had to be the best calamari I ever tried 10/10. The peppers do make it spicy, but adds additional flavor. I'm sure you could get it without peppers I would definitely come back again and get the same exact dish. All three options are delicious! The ambiance is perfect for date night or any celebration.

    Happy Hour!

    Kona easily has one of my favorite happy hours (and reverse happy hour) in town. So many good appetizers and drinks on the menu. I always get the shrimp tempura and maybe either a sushi roll or the chicken&shrimp lettuce wraps. It's delicious and a steal of a deal.

    I came here for the 1st time, as quick happy hour before going to the movies, and I have to say they have some good HH deals if you need some small bites. I got the BBQ flatbread that time and it was a decent size and yummy. This 2nd time I came I decided to try the $14 surf n turf which is a 3 oz steak and 3 grilled shrimp. I was highly disappointed with this. The steak was mostly fat which I mean I understand that can happen sometimes but once I cut away that fat it was barely a few bites left. I feel the cook should've compensated for that when portioning. So needless to say I won't be getting that again. Not worth it. So I ended up having to order something else to add on and satisfy my hunger and ended up getting the Bama roll I think it's called. Also on the HH menu, and that was yummy and came with 8 pieces so it made up for the lack of steak. Our server Ethan was friendly and attentive, despite being sat with a few difft tables which had him running arnd a bit. All in all, I think it's a good HH spot if you're going to the mall or before the movies.

    Kona Calamari*
    La'Tressa G.

    I used to really enjoy Kona Grill, but they've fallen off in all areas. The people at the reception desk are often not there when you first try to check in. I understand being gone 1-2 minutes to seat a guest, but 5+ is questionable. I can only imagine how many people have gotten tired of waiting for someone to show up, and went somewhere else to eat. I'd either suggest a first come, first serve concept & only have hosts at the front during high traffic instances OR have more than one person at the front, so someone is available to greet guests on arrival. Service wise the waitress I had was nice, but aside from taking my order & checking on me once I didn't see her as she wasn't who brought my food to me, and now everything is done digitally (as far as paying & I believe adding to your existing order), so the personable touch is no longer there. Not sure if it's Covid or the digital age that's to blame for this new cold culture within the restaurant space, but it's off putting for sure. Food wise the menu has changed up a bit since I last was here & the prices have skyrocketed, which almost made me walk out. I mean a plate of fried calamari, which is on the APPETIZERS list, should not cost $21. It used to be my favorite thing to order when they had them on their happy hour menu, because the batter was so well seasoned & the aioli like dip had a nice heat to it, but everything was bland. I think if you're interested in Kona Grill these days it's best to come during their happy hour, otherwise you'll be eating what I think has become mediocre food for three times the price.

    HH menu

    Went to HH yesterday with 3 friends. Let's start with... Service - our server was nice and on top of it, yet not a smother...appreciate that! Food - while it was HH, the food was NOT good...almost inedible. The shrimp taco, shrimp & chicken lettuce wrap...practically tasteless. The edamame (both versions) were overcooked. The chicken satay - OMG - can you say dry and extremely overcooked? The only decent items were the dumplings and the sushi roll. The place - very clean and kept spotless.

The food is consistently excellent. We went for dinner on a Saturday night (reservations are highly recommended). The wife had the chicken as a main entree. It was outstanding. The chicken was smoky, tender, and moist. It has a bevy of vegetables that are cooked perfectly. It comes with a side and she got the baked potato with everything. She loved everything about this entree. For me, it was an easy decision. I LOVE their wedge salad and started with that. The price has gone up a bit but it remains outstanding. For some reason, the waiter gave me a small but it was fine. The small in 2026 is $7.99 and the regular size is now $11.99. For my entree, I ordered from the appetizer menu and got the crab cake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the crab cake. It has to be the best in Dallas. It is one half pound of pure crab meat, no filler. The price has gone up to $26.99 so it is not cheap, but it is outstanding quality. The cake was perfectly cooked and the crab was sweet. It comes with three dips but to me, I want to taste the crab so I did not use them. The kid had the old fashioned fries and devoured them. Our server, Mark, was attentive and efficient. Service was excellent as usual. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in Dallas and IMO the best in the line of Kenny's restaurants. I cannot wait to return.

Our server, Miles, was genuinely friendly and warm, with great suggestions to match. He struck that ideal balance of attentive without hovering, and he made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. We opted for lighter lunches, a few salads and tacos, and everything was excellent. The ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell real thought went into building the menu. It's the kind of food that proves "light lunch" doesn't have to mean settling. The atmosphere deserves its own mention. The Southern aesthetic is done beautifully: country music in the background, thoughtful decor, and an easy, inviting energy. Everyone working was friendly, and it showed in the overall experience. Whether you're local or just passing through, this one is worth the stop. Highly recommend.
