    Shrimp Taco
    Trust E.

    Service is good, service was very nice guy and food was very quick, as far as the test pat tai noodle wasn't good at all, steak neither but if you take a consideration that it's not a steakhouse I guess can't really judge it, shrimp tacos were actually good but super spice, and so edamame, place is nice, clean, a little darker but welcome.

    Came here with a group of friends for their HH tasting menu. Kona has been a staple in the Denver area for us millenials who grew up here. I remember the days where we would come almost every weekend before hitting the bars downtown. I haven't been back in a very, very long time,so I was happy to meet up with some friends here. We pretty much ordered everything on the tasting menu so everyone could try a bite of every dish. The steaks were not bad, but I'd prefer the pasta and sushi over those entrees. The house field salad and the chopped salad had more variety over the Asian salad. One of my friends raves about the carrot cake here and the manager even said some guests order it for their wedding cake! So I'd highly recommend ordering that. The brownies were good, but quite sweet, and same for the chocolate cake. Cheese cake was not bad. Overall a great experience to try out their new tasting menu and a great place to meet up with a group. The service was quick and attentive. I also like that you can pay at the table and split the tab as you wish.

    I used to frequent this location often, but somehow stopped coming--and now I remember why. With Christmas approaching, the mall was extremely busy, and there weren't many restaurants offering full table service. There was a short wait, but we were seated fairly quickly. Our server came by promptly, and we were able to place our order without any issues. The main problem was the drinks. My Kona Big Wave took quite a while to arrive and didn't show up until right before the food was served, which isn't ideal. Worse, the beer was flat. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expect better, especially when it comes to drinks. On the positive side, the food was good. The sea bass slider, served on warm Hawaiian bread, was enjoyable, and the Kona stir-fry was tasty as well. The ambiance is still nice, and overall service was good--definitely better than average. That said, the prices are quite high for the portion sizes. We spent over $60 plus tip, which felt steep for what we received. It was nice to revisit, but unless I'm desperate, I probably won't be stopping here again.

    The $39.99 "Taste of Kona" menu is delicious and priced right! It's going on right now! Head over for better yet, run! It'll cost you less than a pair of designer jeans at $39/pp is ridiculously priced! You can have a 3 course meal , 2 drinks , a starter and to end the note right a desert. All these you have a choice of three's. See menu attached. We had everything in the menu + a serving of my favorite dessert that's not included in the menu. Their massively delicious Carrot Cake!! Courtesy of Rose the GM! Talk about being treated well! Thank you Rose! There were four of us so someone had a repeat of someone's dish. But we shared so I know the dishes are all awesome! The salad I had called The Chopped -small was so good! My cocktail Patio Bubbles was super refreshing! The staff were awesome n you can pick your dining location: inside or patio.

    Tender Steak I had the New York strip, and it was so tender. Very tasty! For my drink, I had the Cucumber Southside, made with Tito's vodka, lime, mint leaves, soda, and (surprise) cucumber. For dessert, I enjoyed the chocolate cake. Oh my! It's like a brownie and cake made out...in a good way!!

    My experience with Kona Grill this time around was not good. When we sat down, everything came quick enough and I was excited that we had the ability to reserve a table for six at 7 o'clock on a Saturday. It was just a really good timing and we had just finished shopping. I had been to Kona Grill so many times before and I always had a wonderful time and service was always great so I was hoping we'd have a similar experience this time. At the start, I kind of sensed that this was going to be not the best service. Our water glasses were all a little dirty. But only one glass was sent back at first. And another one was requested. As this happened one person in our party presented a free appetizer coupon to our server. She ordered the wings and the server said he had to check that we could order those. She didn't like being told that there were stipulations on the type of appetizer she could order when that wasn't indicated on her free appetizer coupon. One of us ordered a Paloma. The drink was sent back because it was too weak. It was diluted to fill to the top and we could not taste much alcohol in it. So a replacement drink was ordered. That one was pretty good. So now this set the tone for the rest of the time we were there and I won't bother getting into some of the other things, but let's just say that the wings came out in the wings were great right. So everybody finishes the wings. Then I ask "hey do you guys have wipes for us because you know our fingers are sticky after eating those wings" and he's like "oh sorry we don't have wipes, but I can get you extra napkins" and I'm like "thanks". So now he clears all the monkey plates except mine cause I was getting the last wing. We place our main courses order. Four of us were splitting two dishes, the wagyu steak fried rice and macadamia chicken. The wagyu steak was very greasy and it pooled at the bottom of the plate. It also lacked flavor. I was praying for salt but we used soy sauce instead since salt shakers were not present. This made it better but still not great. The macadamia nut chicken was tasty but one person didn't like the sauce on the chicken. I thought it was solid. One person ordered a sushi roll to see how they liked sushi. He didn't love it but said it tasted the way it should. The last person enjoyed his food. But on the iceberg salad he had to request more bacon because there was so little on it. At this point I was getting annoyed because it was taking too long for him to grab another plate. My water was never refilled. But on the other side of the table their water was constantly refilled. My monkey dish from the first course was still sitting there after all of the other dishes had been removed. All in all it came off as lazy serving to me. I get that I'm a little further back but come on. Because I've been here so many times I'm able to count this as a one off. But sheesh. Nothing went right. I guess the host stand went efficiently. And it's a beautiful restaurant.

    Avocado Egg Rolls-super yummy!!

    Thank you for the Veterans Special! My server, Celeste, was super-friendly, professional and efficient. The Parmesan Sole was well-prepared, great portion and delicious! The carrot cake is the best!

    That's a $20 spicy tuna roll.

    I rarely write Yelp reviews, but this experience was bad enough that it deserves one. The problems started almost immediately. Despite the restaurant being slow, we sat for an uncomfortably long time before anyone greeted our table. When a server finally approached, the interaction felt completely transactional--no warmth, no hospitality, just going through the motions. Unfortunately, the real issues started once we began observing what was happening around us. Our table was seated next to the open kitchen, which gave us a clear view of the line and expo area. What we saw was honestly shocking. The Executive Chef was repeatedly putting his hands in his mouth while expediting food. I watched line cooks eating while standing on the line preparing dishes. At one point, our own server casually grabbed food out of the expo window and ate it in plain sight of guests. If that's what's happening when guests can see it, I can only imagine what's happening when they can't. I should have trusted my instincts and walked out, but I stayed because I didn't want to make a scene in front of my daughter. Unfortunately, the food didn't help redeem the situation. The quality was mediocre at best, and the portion sizes--especially the sushi--were laughably small for the price. It genuinely felt like the restaurant was cutting corners by skimping on the fish. The final straw was listening to our server openly argue with other staff members about side work in the middle of the dining room. It was loud enough that multiple tables could hear it, and it made it abundantly clear that the guest experience was the last thing on anyone's mind. Between the lack of hospitality, questionable food safety practices, and underwhelming food, this place is operating far below what any guest should expect--especially at these prices. I would be genuinely surprised if this restaurant is still around a year from now. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

    (Not dog food but close, Chicken & Shrimp Lettuce Wraps*)

    If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We waited what felt like hours for our food. The service was unbelievably slow -- one of us didn't even get their meal until the very end, and we had to pack it up to go because it took so long. On top of that, there were flies everywhere, which made the experience even more unpleasant. To make matters worse, my turkey and shrimp lettuce wraps were cold and honestly looked like dog food. Absolutely unacceptable. We will never be coming back.

    Ask the Community - Kona Grill - Denver

    How's the prime rib?

    Very tasty, my mother ordered it. It was tender and cooked to perfection however the steak is very thin and the portion is tiny for $40.

    Do They Still Offer Happy Hour All Day on Sunday?

    No :( Looks like they got rid if it, sadly!

    Does Kona validate parking for the Cherry Creek mall?

    They do, but not for Happy Hour food, you need to purchase a full-price entree and/or Kona Roll. Also, they don't validate for valet.

The experience truly begins with the reservation, where you are asked a series of questions from your familiarity with sushi, fish preference, appetite level, and so on. This truly is an in-depth questionnaire so that the chef Yasu could source fish from Nagahama fish market for your meal. It's an incredibly personal, curated meal. On the date of, you are led to a private room in the back, Denchu Den, which is a simple, private sushi bar for up to 4 guests. Then, Chef Yasu comes out for a truly intimate experience, one that is extremely rare to come by, even in Japan. It is truly just your party and the chef as he prepares some truly epic bite. And the menu is not set, it really depends on your personal taste, and the food continues basically until you tap out. As such, there is no set price, though typically we run up about $150-200 a person. It's a 2 hour experience during which you get to experience that Japanese hospitality with chef Yasu. We talked with him about his home, learned about his experience in Denver, and he provided some fun facts about sushi and Japanese in culture in general. I cannot praise this truly unique experience enough, and, in fact, we have been back here every single year. The cherry on top is that as you return, Chef Yasu starts to remember your preference and even past conversation. And it does not end there. Based on our conversation where I discussed my next Japan trip, Chef Yasu even took time to send us an email with his recommendations.

The…read morefood is good, the ambiance is great, and the staff is kind when you interact with them. Unfortunately, both visits had the same issue: very long gaps between dishes. On my most recent visit, we waited nearly 50 minutes between courses and never received the remaining three dishes. We ended up asking for the check instead. What made it more frustrating was the lack of service. No one checked on us, and we had to flag down another staff member just to get the check. Our server never came by. It was also surprising because the restaurant wasn't busy. There were open bar seats and plenty of open tables, so I'd be nervous to see what the experience is like on a busy night. It's disappointing because the food is solid, but the pacing and service make it hard to come back.

    5 star food and service at Mizu Izakaya! Our experience made for a perfect, fun Friday Date night…read more I came for the crispy spicy tuna and it was easily the best I've had. We also really enjoyed the chili wontons, pork belly skewers, and Kobe beef buns - all were super high quality and packed with flavor. We didn't care for the cucumber salad - the large chunks just didn't take on any flavor and felt like eating plain cucumber. The ambiance is very high energy and can be loud (there's a live DJ), but we had a wonderful experience on the patio.

    I stopped by this spot after catching a candlelight orchestra performance nearby and was craving…read moresome sushi--and this place definitely delivered, just not in the way I expected. When I walked in, it felt more like a club than a traditional restaurant. The music was loud, the energy was high, and the crowd was definitely on the younger side. Honestly, I've never really experienced anything quite like it--part restaurant, part nightlife vibe--but it was kind of cool in its own way. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered sushi along with a seaweed salad and an Old Fashioned. The food was actually really good--fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot after the show. That said, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing dinner, this probably isn't your place. But if you're open to a lively atmosphere and something a little different, it's a fun experience. I enjoyed my food, soaked in the vibe, and left glad I gave it a try.
