Chantel Q.

Not typically a place I would usually go to but because the customer service has been so good, we continue to consistently come back. The menu is pretty large, there is definitely something here for everyone. Most of the portions are very generous but was a little surprised with the Pot Stickers. The price is up there but it's a very small order. Food has been hit or miss but overall it's decent. I love that the kids menus have a choice of sushi to order. It also comes with 2 sides and a drink. Our kids loved when they had orange slices but didn't care for the, "canned pineapple" is what they were calling it. There's also inside and outside dining areas with a variety of seating, tables, booths, and a bar.

We had an amazing experience at Kona Grill Gilbert. Mark Savage was our server and he rocked the house! The happy hour is incredible! You can try everything at a really reasonable price. I really enjoyed the macadamia nut chicken, the chicken sauté, and the beef sliders. Great space for large parties.

We came in at 2 on Friday, there was hardly anyone there, maybe 8-10 tables filled throughout the place, which is decent size for busy hours. It took us half an hour to get our food from when we set and ordered. Our food was actually pretty decent accept for my son's mac n cheese, both him and our daughter said it tasted like dish soap so maybe the dish it was in wasn't rinsed well or the container they cooked it in wasn't rinsed? Our waitress Erica was great, she seemed to be the only one there and managing more than tables as the whole hour plus we were there we only saw a hostess (who doesn't say much, not even a thank you for coming in" when we left) and Erica and another worker. We enjoyed our food but more likely won't come back with how slow service was when it wasn't busy, if it was slam packed busy then it be more understandable for half hour wait for our food.

Kids pizza half eaten

We came here around 1 pm on a Sunday and there was a woman waiting at the front lobby to be helped when we arrived. No one was around until a server Erica came by and assisted us with getting seated when the host/hostess was nowhere to be found. We were seated on the patio with our dog and it was a nice day out. Plenty of parking on that side of the plaza as most people park towards the middle of the shopping center. Erica was our server during our meal as well and she was friendly and nice. We ordered the fried pickles, KG cheeseburger, seabass sliders and a kids pizza. Fried pickles (3/5) I love pickles and I enjoyed them but it was also pretty salty. My boyfriend also felt they were a bit soggy. We were expecting them to be more breaded. KG cheeseburger (3/5) Average cheeseburger and nothing special, my boyfriend also said it was a bit dry. Seabass Sliders (3.5/5) subbed fries instead of chips. This was my favorite dish out of everything we got but it still fell a bit short. Didn't taste the miso or furikake, mostly tasted the slaw. The Hawaiian bread felt like it came straight out of the bag and wasn't toasted or warmed but overall it tasted good. Small portions for the price. Kids pizza (2/5) Was not expecting this to be on a flatbread. Fairly simple - flatbread topped with pizza sauce and cheese. But it tasted like it came out of a cardboard box or the freezer. I know you can't really expect much for a kids meal but I've had much better pizzas for cheaper at casual fast food places. All in all the service was good and the food is okay but definitely not worth the prices they are charging. If each item was $3 to $5 cheaper then that would be more on par with their quality.

Fish & chips
Carla N.

Hubby & I had dinner here last night. We were seated right away. It took a very long time before our server came over. So long that the manager finally came over & took our drink order. Hubby got a draft beer & I got a sangria. Both were good. When our server came over he was not friendly at all. We ordered the pot stickers. Hubby got the fish and chips. I got the sliders. The pot stickers are really good, but not worth $21. We really liked the sauce they come with. We had just as good pot stickers at other restaurants for a lot less money. Hubby liked his fish. It was lightly breaded & not greasy at all. The "chips" were nothing special. Just steak fries really. Again, not worth the money for the amount of food you get. My sliders were okay. I wanted the chicken sandwich until I asked the manager if it was chicken breast or thigh meat. She said it was dark meat. I don't like dark meat chicken so I got the sliders. You get 3 sliders & fries. Whatever sauce is on the sliders was very sparse. I dipped them in the ketchup because more sauce was needed. I would like to go back & try the sushi because it looked really good from the table next to us. In my opinion, the other food is too pricey for the amount you get. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the pot stickers before we started eating them.

New Review as of 11/18/25 About last night. After being disappointed in the first restaurant bar we went to, my friends and I decided to go to Kona and get dinner. We haven't been here in forever and I know they changed their menu all the time. We got seated outside and chatted. Got our drinks and ordered food. Everything was amazing. The food was delicious and the desserts as well. Thank you to my friends and the waiter (whom I forgot his name, but he wore glasses and had a cross over his neck) but he was super nice and gave suggestions on what to get. He said he liked the French Dip as it's one of his favorites. Will def come back again. Will be seeing more new added items on the menu. Thank you for celebrating my birthday.

Kids menu burger, fries, and Mac & cheese
Kimmy H.

Ambiance great we had outside patio seats. The service was fast we had a good waitress. Food was a little pricy for portion. Two kids orders and a Macadamia Nut Chicken. The chicken was raw in some edges. The manager was able to make things right. Over all not a bad experience just the undercooked vibes has me staying away for awhile..

Chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps
Aini R.

We made a reservation through Resy to take advantage of our Amex benefit, but our server told us when we went to pay that they are not part of Resy--which was strange, since they were still able to find our reservation. We paid via the kiosk on the table. Hopefully, we'll still receive our reimbursement. Food-wise, the kids loved their bento box kid's meal with the "bear orange." It's definitely a great value at $8, which includes a main entrée, two sides, and a drink! The happy hour menu was also a good value, especially the chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps and the sushi rolls. The potstickers were tasty, but I didn't feel they were a good deal for happy hour. The surf and turf was good as well, although we requested medium and it came out medium-rare. Since we were in a rush, we didn't send it back. The grilled shrimp was very good! The rice on the sushi rolls were a little dry for me, but overall it tasted decent for the price. The spicy tuna roll was not spicy at all. The large fish tank behind the sushi bar was fun to look at, and the background music wasn't too loud, which was nice. The place is family-friendly, and we would definitely eat here again!

Anthony Q.

The service was great and attentive. We went in with our Resy credit from American Express. They have a special running right now with pre fixe menus (restaurant week and taste of Kona). There are some good options. The food is decent for their sushi options but the salad and steak were not fresh. I would recommend getting another option like their burgers. They also have some great happy hour options Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 6 PM, there is a 6 dollar burger meal, and again from 9 PM to close. The decor is a modern design with a dsrker ambience. Would give the happy hour a try just for the deal but would not recommend the steak options. The brownie dessert was great. The brownie was moist and soft on the inside. It is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that really paired well.

"Well done burger" and salad untouched! That was the salad without us eating even a bite. And yet that cost us $17?!
Meredith B.

I ordered for delivery and the driver kept messaging me apologizing for the preparation taking longer. It literally was almost 2 hours late! I could be more understanding if it was made to order but we ordered burger well done and it was totally pink pink! And the salad was so small and mediocre for $17! Delivery or in person, we won't be frequenting Kona Grill again.

Steak Frites
Shannon S.

Visited on a Friday night for date night. We made a reservation on Open Table for 6:30 and were seated immediately upon arrival. The waiter came in inder 5 mins to acknowledge us and to get our drink order, water for me, Sprite for my wife. He came back shortly thereafter to get our food orders. I order the Steak Frites which was a 6oz NY Strip and fries and my wife ordered the sweet chile salmon w/fried rice. The food came quickly and was got. I will say I was disappointed with the portion of my strip, you'll see in the picture. It looks smaller than 6 oz however it was tender and flavorful. I ate it in 3 bites. My wife's salmon was very good though, and I'm not a salmon fan. The fried rice was just as good, although it was a weird combo; we've never had salmon and fried rice. The bill for all this was a little north of $70 so quite pricey. Only reason for 3 stars is I've been to other places and ordered steaks and their 6oz is bigger.

Angry Edamame and Red Sangria
Jessica A.

Came for dinner/HH on Friday night and had a pretty good experience. Sat on the patio which was surprisingly cool enough despite how hot it actually was outside. Our server, Erica, was great...she was definitely hustling all night. Things we loved: Meatballs - the crust, the gravy, the potatoes, the peppercorns - yum! Margarita flight Crunch roll Filet Things that were good but not amazing: Red sangria Franciscan wine Bonanza wine Things we didn't love: Angry edamame (the sauce was really sour and not at all what we were expecting) The fries and green beans that came w the filet Overall, definitely a good little spot for date night - trivia at the table was a blast!

Every time I've ever been here, it's always been busy during the dinner rush, but service has always remained quick and attentive. It certainly isn't what I would call a "fine dining" experience, but it's upscale enough and has good enough food to feel like a meaningful night out with family, friends, or your partner. For an appetizer, we enjoyed their bread and butter, which was fantastic. The bread also came with olive oil and seasonings to dip it in, which was also very tasty. For dinner, I enjoyed their grilled cod with French and sweet potato fries, as well as coleslaw.

Almost like being in San Francisco! For dinner we decided to share a couple of things; the crab cakes, which comes with fried avocado and some of the best aioli for dipping. The cakes themselves are big and full of crab with just the right amount of filling to create a decadent and moist cake! We also shared the seared jumbo scallops...High Tides knows how to cook scallops to the best! So yummy and tender and perfectly cooked with that crispy outer and the soft, creamy inside. We also shared a Caesar salad and one of the things we love about this place...ask and you can get some fresh anchovy on the side to add to the salad. Wife always asks for more lemon as well to drizzle over the salad. Overall a fantastic dinner for us and everyone with us!

The atmosphere is upbeat, bright, and welcoming with a really good energy whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with a larger group. The setup works especially well for groups since there's plenty of seating and the ordering process keeps things moving even when it's busy. One thing they do very well is efficiency without losing hospitality. They have both a dine-in ordering counter and a dedicated to-go counter, which seems necessary because this place stays packed. Even during busy times, the staff stays friendly, attentive, and organized. You can tell there's real attention paid to each order and that management understands how to run a smooth restaurant operation. The menu has a lot of solid choices whether you want something lighter, comforting, vegetarian, or protein-packed. Portions were satisfying, and the broccoli deserves its own mention -- somehow simple but absolutely addictive. My only real note is that pricing feels a little high for an order-at-the-counter style restaurant. That said, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience do make it easier to justify once in a while.

I know my opinion is probably unpopular because it seems like everybody loves Flower Child, but it's not really my cup of tea. I fully understand, though, that that's just me. I do have some weird food issues. I will say this place is so bright and airy and just lovely. I love the paned windows that look out onto the patio, the very high ceilings, and the brown rattan lighting fixtures. Even though the space is quite large, it's extremely inviting. That said, it's a great place for something healthy. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the choices if you're trying to eat well. My friends lunch looked much better than what I had. I had the Flying Avocado Wrap, and I didn't love it. In fact I didn't finish even half of it - - I took it home and my son ate it. I think it's the bread I don't like, and anyone who knows me knows I can be really picky. Will I come back? Probably. When I have lunch with somebody else who wants to come here, I won't have a problem with it. I would really like to try the forbidden Rice that my friend had. But I'm not likely to ever swing by here on my own.

With exposed brick walls and rich wood finishes, the historic site provides an upscale, contemporary urban and industrial-chic setting. After easily finding parking in walking distance from the entrance, we arrived shortly before midnight of the 7th. They were closing soon, but we had enough time to order a round of craftly-made cocktails and beers to down quickly. It helps when your friend knows the bartender. Enter smiley face emoji here. THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN is credited for the first place that I ever tried a CLOVER CLUB, a pink, frothy cocktail with fruity, citrusy, velvety qualities. I was instantly tickled pink, literally, by the nostalgic feel of the elegant concoction, topped with artfully designed egg white foam and served in a vintage-style champagne glass. What a beauty of a drink with a touch of class and sophistication! Almost made me want to throw on a flapper dress and dance the Charleston...until I realized the need to balance from the powerful punch in the serious drink. Fancy, stiff cocktails served at THE BRICKYARD DOWNTWON fo shizz. No complaints about that here! It's been a while since I visited Arizona. Maybe it's time to return.
