My friend and co-worker dined here at Kona. We had the absolute best waiter Marcus who made sure everything was just as we ordered!

I've been here plenty of times; however, this night was different because of my girl Abby. She took care of us the whole night. She was very personable and attentive. As soon as we sat down she approached us and let us know when last call was. She made this experience great even though we were not here for a kind time and that hungry. I would come back and ask for here. read more

1 star: Misleading happy hour pricing and poorly handled When I was seated, I asked for the happy hour menu. My server said they were out of paper menus and told me to use the tabletop tablet instead. I ordered the "HH Surf and Turf," which the tablet listed at $14.00. When the bill came, the surf and turf was $52. I told my server and showed her the photo I took of their own system showing $14. The manager came out visibly upset, told me the price was wrong, and said they couldn't honor what their system displayed. All they would offer was a partial discount, which brought my check down only to $40 before tax. The steak also arrived blue when I ordered medium rare, and I had to send it back to be cooked longer. In my entire life, this is the first time I've ever sent food back. If your own menu system shows a price and you direct customers to use it, honor it or fix it before it causes a problem. I normally don't write negative reviews, but the way this was handled was very disappointing. read more

The food was ok. We had the bar b que chicken flatbread pizza. The pizza had too much bar b que sauce on them, it overpowered the taste and had very little chicken on it. But I enjoyed the chicken fried rice ... it's just that chicken fried rice with very little odd looking chicken pieces and carrots, no veggies. If you try make sure you ask for garlic butter ... it was melted and really good . We had Kona frozen margaritas they were not the best ... but surely not the worse. I wanted to sit on the patio at night to enjoy the nice cool evening , but the patio was extremely dark. The service was professional and attentive. This was the HH menu. I love a place that offers two HH(Happy Hours) Please check them out for yourselves * Oan for olive lovers ... yummyyyy read more

Kona Grill has been a North Dallas staple for quite some time, so I decided to stop by for happy hour. One thing that still sets them apart is their reverse happy hour, which is a nice option if you're dining later in the evening. They continue to offer solid deals on their happy hour menu, which is always a plus. We tried a variety of items, including the California roll, BBQ chicken pizza, chicken fried rice, and the angry edamame. The sushi was good and probably the standout of what we ordered. The rest of the food was just okay--I remember the quality being better in the past, so that was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the atmosphere was great. The music was on point and really added to the experience, and the customer service was genuinely good and attentive. Overall, Kona Grill is still worth checking out, especially for happy hour deals and the vibe, but the food doesn't quite hit like it used to read more

Monday and Tuesday they offer happy hour all day. I got $6 Cheeseburgers and fries and it is big enough like a full size menu. And fries are very good! It was fresh hot, crispy and a lot. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

We visited on a Saturday evening and were surprised that the restaurant was nearly empty. Unfortunately, we had small flies repeatedly landing in our drinks throughout the meal. My husband's wine was bad, and the replacement glass was also undrinkable. For a $130 dinner, we expected a much better experience. We won't be returning read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've been coming to Kona Grill since around 2010, and I'm happy to say--it's still that spot for happy hour. Some of the best specials in town and the vibe is always on point. I recently checked out their new summer menu and wow. The All Day Chicken Brunch was my favorite--crispy chicken, a fried egg, and that potato & onion cake? So good. I also tried the Piña Rita, which was super refreshing and perfect for patio weather. The Summer Heat Roll had just the right amount of spice, and the Crab & Brie Stuffed Salmon was rich but balanced, especially with the turmeric rice and broccoli on the side. Whether you're pulling up for happy hour or their reverse happy hour, you can't go wrong. Kona Grill is one of those places that just gets it right every time. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Tried to have dinner at this place and we didn't even make it to ordering because the place was so dirty! flies and gnats were all over the damn place. our waiter just seemed unkept and gross, sweating all over the place. I'm like do I want this guy handling my food?? I read other reviews where people complained about the flies. That's a major red flag in a restaurant. it's not like we were sitting out on the patio. We were inside the restaurant!! You guys might wanna up your game with the health inspection because you're probably gonna get shut down. read more

Ăn cũng được ok nha nhưng mà thay phần fries thành chip chiên, cái này ăn thì thấy ghê nè

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. read more

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. read more

We used to love Kona Grill long before Covid-19, but this was our first visit since then. The atmosphere is still the same, but the food quality has changed. The clam chowder was far off--so much that we couldn't finish it. The sushi rolls were also different, with missing ingredients that the server didn't inform us about. While the service was good, we probably won't return due to the overall decline in food quality. read more

The happy hour menu is such a great deal! We tried fried chicken rice, burgers, and sushi rolls, all within 6 dollars!

Ok, now that I've had a day to think about this meal, I'm even angrier about it. How dare you charge $50 a person for a continental breakfast equivalent to the free breakfast at the Fairfield Inn? How dare you make me wait an hour for this trash I couldn't even eat, then have the audacity to ask if we wanted more? How dare you present me with a check for $200 when you served me prepackaged croissants, pancakes and muffins, soggy bacon, spongey overcooked sausage patties and what was likely powdered scrambled eggs? How dare you torture mothers who work hard all year and want to be celebrated just one day of the whole damn year with this awful excuse for a "brunch"? Your advertising was deceptive and you made it sound nice. Shame on you! How dare you? I really want my 2 hours and $200 back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Location North Park mall-by AMC Parking Large lots and garage Atmosphere Casual, Hawaiian, large tv's at bar Seating Did not go inside-outside low and high top tables-great for groups-the a/c from inside cools much of the patio. There are umbrellas. Service Attentive and friendly Menu Fall menu offers pumpkin mocha martini and pumpkin spice margarita. Full bar and great wine list. The margarita was refreshing with a light taste-think apple spice chai-strong! The sliders are served on a sweet Hawaiian role with melted cheddar on the burger. The avocado egg rolls were delicious as noted in other reviews. Creamy and tasty with a shell that was neither thick nor rubbery. The chicken skewers were seasoned perfectly-served with a peanut sauce. The sushi was fresh and yummy. Meatballs arrive atop a small mashed potato bed and crowned with a seasoned mushroom slice-so good!! The size of the meatball was just right-not too big or tasting like it came out of a bag-yummy glaze! Summary My new fav spot at the mall-fantastic menu, amazing service, great location! See you there! read more

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. read more

Come here for lunch, and I will say Robert was a great server; He had a great personality. Let's start by saying the food is a little over priced for the quality. The fried rice was extremely salty, and I couldn't enjoy it. However, I enjoyed the calamari. It was cooked to perfection. I ordered the California rolls and they were decent. This is restaurant was ok, but I definitely believe $60 was a little much for it. read more

Fresh sushi and Hawaiian coffee! Say less! The coffee was flavorful, and aromatic. They bring caramel syrup on the side so you can sweeten it as much as you can. It's a really thick syrup. I got a poke bowl. You can pick a rice or salad base. The sushi is lit on fire, which is pretty cool. It's a convenient location in the mall. They have a lot of options and noodles and Asian salads as well. read more

I've given this place multiple chances but it just is not good. Waited at the bar for a long time while bartenders walked back and forth passing us multiple times... it was honestly super irritating. One bartender finally noticed us and helped us out, she was kind, just sucks we had a horrible start & honestly just bad experiences here in general. We wanted to order more than just one drink each & maybe some food, but no thanks. There's multiple restaurants to choose from at NorthPark Center, I encourage you to choose one of them. read more

Excellent in every aspect. The ambiance was great, the service was fantastic and the food was even better.

Plano just closed permanently. The Dallas location and likely others can't far behind. $41 for fish and chips? $17 for a piece of cake? AL BIERNAT'S desserts are cheaper than this. $16 for a small bowl of edamame? It's like they are trying to go out of business. These prices aren't even in the same realm of the other restaurant's high prices. These prices are in a league of their own. So outrageous, it's offensive. Even their happy hour food portions have taken a big dive. No longer a value. It's a shame too. Kona Grill used to be a fun place to go. Now all we see are empty chairs. Won' t be returning. read more
