    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

    Steakhouse Burger

    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*

    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.

    Worn out seats
    Charlie W.

    Underwhelmed. The service was not impressive and for the price the food quality was subpar. Came for brunch just before 12. Not many customers and I think I know why. Ran out of sausage for all American breakfast. English muffin was unbuttered , cold, and stale. Asked for butter and got frozen butter. The seats are worn. There are much better options in the mall don't waste your time and money here.

    So I have been to Kono grill many times but this was my first at this location. And in the past, I have had fairly decent experiences. However, this time was a little different. We came to the mall to do some shopping and eat to celebrate my friend's birthday. When my friend and I walked in it was not busy but we were told that they wanted us to sit in a specific area, because they were trying to make sure that the waiters had an even distribution of tables. It wasn't our preferred area, but we went ahead and sat where they asked us to. Then we waited quite a while for our waiter to come to our table to take our drink orders, and we had questions about the drink options because they had a brunch menu and you could only get some of the specials if you ordered from . But it felt like it was an inconvenience for the waiter to provide us more details to help us make a decision. So I got something I normally get at Kona grill, which was the sake flight. And I also chose to get there sushi roll that has tuna and salmon, and I have to say, my roll was amazing. It had raw fish on it, but it was not fishy, the fish tasted very fresh, and it was a nice size. The roll was not cheap, it was $25 but I do think I got what I paid for. My friend chose to get the egg Benedict, and she said, it was actually pretty tasty. It just took a while for our food to come out. Then we were trying to get my friend's birthday dessert, but it also took a long time for our waiter to come back to our table. He finally did, and we chose to get the butter cake, it was different than what I have had before, it tasted more like sweet cornbread with ice cream but I ate it. Overall the experience was ok, glad the food was good, not crazy about the service. For a brunch item and an appetizer, and a drink flight each, we were there for about an hour and a 1/2. Will I be back, probably but may not go to this location.

    The establishment has a nice patio but major renovations are needed for the booth seats. They are all ripped up so we put the napkin down since my friend had on shorts. Food: The angry edamame was delicious and had a real kick to it. The potstickers were flavorful along with the green beans. Avocado egg rolls could have been fried a bit harder. My friend enjoyed the fried rice but stated he could have went without the pineapple. Service: Our server was nice but didn't have good service. She never refilled our drinks or checked to ask how the food was. When she came back to the table to bring more food she never took away the empty plates. It wasn't the best service but the kicker was when we paid and I selected the option for 18% gratuity we were charged 21%. I decided to do the math on my own because I had been seeing videos on social media on how the automatic payment machine options were charging more. I I for ed the host about what took place and I am not sure if she wasn't understanding the issue but she kept stating the gratuity options are optional. I stated I was aware of that (obviously) but I was charged incorrectly. Instead of going back and forth I asked to speak to the manager she then stated "you want to speak to the manager for that" as if my concern wasn't valid. The manager came over and explained the restaurant just started using Ziosk that day and she was willing to refund me the difference. I appreciated the immediate resolution and told her if was fine but they needed to know based on principle. Overall: I don't have to come back to this location.

    Little over priced on some items and they are small portions. Service was good. Nice atmosphere. Spent $150. One appetizer, small sushi plate and one entree, two drinks.

Loved that the chefs explained every dish and gave us the origin of the fish. My favorite was the Kanpachi, but everything was delicious and tasted fresh. I had a yummy mocktail and our "spirit guide" let me try a non alcoholic champagne which I loved. After dinner we were led into Ginger's which is a speakeasy next door that I've been to a few times. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The only thing I would change is the number of seats. I felt cramped.
