I have wanted to try the Kona Grill for sometime now. They used to be located within the La Cantera shopping mall. But this location opened back in January. I am going to review their Happy Hour menu because that is all we ordered from. In my opinion, Kona Grill has one of the best Happy Hour menus and deals in all of San Antonio! The times are very generous, all day Monday through Tuesday! Wednesday through Friday from 2-6pm and between 9pm to midnight everyday. That's right this is a great place to get good value for late night snacks, meals and drinks. We ordered a cheeseburger and fries, chicken satay, California roll, Crunchy Crab roll, plus a bowl of Edemame. That was more than enough for two people. My cheeseburger was very good. Nice toasted bun, which was warm and soft. Grilled onions on top of the melted cheese , tomato, pickles and lettuce on the side along with extra Kona sauce. And there's more, a basket of super crispy fries. All that for $6.00! The sushi rolls were also $6 each the other two items were $3 each. We really enjoyed our sushi rolls. Check out the menu I took a picture of showing the Happy Hour deals. Lots of drink prices too. Next time I am going to try the old fashion for $9. The restaurant has lots of table and booths. Very comfortable seating. There is a big bar section and lots of outdoor seating as well. In my opinion, they are shooting for a younger demographic with the music, style and decor. The regular menu has meals from $25 to $50 steaks. A large bar menu with a good wine list. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Service was fast. The bar area might get loud but there are places to sit where it is quieter. Give them a try. I think you will be pleased. read more

Went to happy hour. Such a sad happy hour. We ordered the $6 burger- yes it was a great deal cuz it also came with fries but you could hardly taste there was a burger in there. The single smashed patty was lost in there. We ordered the chicken fried rice and it had no real spices to make it pop and the chicken in the rice looked questionable. I'm talking strange coloring, dark weird pieces. The bbq chicken flatbread- was 4 measly pieces- the best part being the sweet bbq sauce. The star of our order- THE FRIES. sadly that was the only thing we truly liked about this meal. Even my Sangria was bland. It had no fruit taste at all. Sadly, we will not be recommending this place and not be coming back. Also- we couldn't understand the name -- KONA GRILL? what's the beach or Hawaiian theme of the place and menu? I left looking for someplace else to grab a bite. read more

To call this a bad experience would be generous--it was frustrating from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. We were greeted by the manager--yes, the manager--who handed us a Happy Hour menu, pointed out a few drinks, and sat us down. The table was noticeably sticky, which he even acknowledged... and then did absolutely nothing about. That should have been the first red flag. Looking over the menu, I noticed nothing listed for Saturday, so I asked our server to confirm whether we could still order from it since it was the manager who gave it to us. He came back and said the menus were given out in error and they wouldn't honor the pricing. Fine--but why didn't the manager just say that upfront instead of passing the problem along? Meanwhile, we're still sitting at a sticky table--so sticky that plates were literally sticking to it--and the utensils had white, caked-on residue that clearly wasn't just water spots. Not exactly reassuring. Food didn't improve things. I ordered fried pickles, shrimp tacos, and seabass sliders. Everything came out at the same time, so much for pacing. The pickles were decent, but there were only seven--oddly skimpy. The shrimp tacos had cold, stiff tortillas, and only one of the three actually had sauce on it. The seabass sliders? Cold. Service was just as lacking--my drink was refilled once, and that was it. All in, I spent $65 with tip for subpar food, poor service, and a generally unclean experience. Honestly, I could have spent less and had a far better meal pretty much anywhere else. Extremely disappointed. read more

Went with friends for reverse happy hour on a Saturday night and it was not busy at all, probably because the games were on. The vibe is cute and chill and the staff were friendly. A few friends got sushi, we shared the meatballs, and I got the chicken fried rice. All of us really enjoyed what we got. I also got a margarita and it tasted great. I would definitely return! read more

I came in around 9PM and sat at the bar. The bartenders were busy and took several minute sit greet me. After given menus, bartenders were attentive and kind. I ordered the 1/4 cheeseburger and Big Kona (Hawaiian draft beer) off the Happy Hour menu. I am dairy free and asked for no cheese and no bun, sub lettuce. The food was served hot and came out quickly. There were plenty of people here enjoying the all day happy hour. Great prices for the food! Will definitely be back to try more happy hour foods! read more

Kona Grill - Landmark - Happy hour definitely fell off here!!!! Almost $50 for my meal and had 3 "food" options these two included. - Salad Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We have been trying different happy hours in our city to discover if we want to try the rest of the menu. Using the happy hour as a tasting menu. Unfortunately, we had high hopes for this place but it fell very short. The pic my wife took makes it look great but the flavors were not there in the end and left us wanting more. The chicken bbq flatbread on the happy hour were 4 mini piece. The chicken friend rice was such a small bowl and the chicken looked weird and strange in the portion we got that we found ourselves eating around them and leaving those pieces untouched. The $6 burger and fries were the best deal but you really couldn't tell there was meat in the burger because the patty was pretty smashed. The star was the fries, the only thing we enjoyed during our time here. We also couldn't understand the name of the place. We thought it would be more island themed/ Hawaiian ? But the menu did not share that thought. read more

Went to Kona to take advantage of their happy hour menu and had great time! My group ordered one of about half the HH menu: 3, 6 and 9$ apps expecting fast food quality letdowns for the price and that wasn't the case at all. It was pretty good! Would I pay full price for any of the apps we received, probably not bcs they're a little pricey on the regular menu, but for 3, 6, 9$ we were pretty pleased. The service was good also, atmosphere was fun, and if you're not expecting Michelin star quality food for under $10 you won't be disappointed. Our whole bill was $75 including drinks. Bonus: their skinny margarita is a real skinny margarita, no sweet-n-sour or "margarita mix", or splash of club soda to water it down like some places do. That alone is worth coming back for, imo. Not a happy hour drink but worth it. read more

Kona Grill - Landmark - We raided the happy hour menu and enjoyed everything! Would forego the potstickers next time - not impressed, but all in, a great time - Salad Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Food came out slow. Bartender was distracted by manager and other coworkers. Overall bad service especially when there is no customers.

I went to the new stand alone Kona Grill location for lunch with a coworker. Great Power Lunch options for $19. It's a lot of food, two lighter eaters could split and it would be plenty of good. Power Lunch is a pre fixe menu with 3 courses. I started with the Miso soup and it was one of the Miso soups I have had. For second course I ordered the potstickers. It was a generous portion and taste was great. For main dishes I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and my coworker ordered the cheese burger, both dishes were tasty and a generous size. read more

First time at this location. Nice location, here for HH. Nice atmosphere, service was surprisingly SLOW for Tuesday. Spicy Roll was good, drinks were good. Just didn't check back on us or keep clean table for us. Not impressed. My sister's fried rice is better. read more

The service was great , however the floors & tables extremely sticky ! The drinking glasses were distrustingly dirty ,, I ordered the shrimp & chicken lettuce wraps (which are my favorite) but thank the lord I like carrots because that's literally all that was in my bowl & two three pieces of chicken and shrimp ... very unsatisfied with this new Kona grill location ! Go to NORTH STAR Location instead ! read more

Would not even entertain this place, prices for cafeteria ambience is just extreme. $21 chicken skewer no way, $15 edamame not on your life! Either they are In massive debt or are just predatory. read more

I had a great meal of fried chicken sandwich served by Justine, the food was great, highly recommend!!!

SERVICE HERE IS REALLY BAD. trust the reviews. I waited 20 mins to be greeted. Thankgod she brought Waters. After 20 mins of me sitting there on a slow Monday night, the server came over with no introduction, no recommendations, no nothing . After I ordered my drink I had to wait another 15 mins for my drink to come watered down... then she had the nerve to ask for my ID after I now waited 35 mins for what?? Servers here are slow, not nice & awkward at BEST. Spend ur money anywhere else. read more

I came for happy hour, and they weren't too busy! I really liked all the food, especially the spicy tuna roll. The happy hour food is pretty good pricing! I ordered a couple cocktails, the watermelon margarita and an old fashioned and wasn't that impressed with the drinks. They were super sweet but had some decent food options on happy hour. read more

Kona grill was so amazing Tyler the manager was very welcoming and informative of their friends with benefits program. Bella and Raul were super professional and speedy with their service absolutely will be back. read more

Justine did an amazing job! Kept us smiling and laughing. But most importantly just kept checking on us! The food was amazing too!! 10/10.

Horrible! Would give them a -10 but couldn't. Had reservations for 7 and ended up leaving the restaurant due to their rude hostess and staff and uncomfortable and noisy setting. The restaurant was small and empty, not typical for Kona Grills, and we were seated at a table next to the hostess stand, the bathrooms, and the tiny bar. Very noisy and trafficked. They denied us moving to another table although the restaurant was very empty. Made immediate reservations at a restaurant nearby and after having some drinks with their two fabulous bartenders, we left. Had a great time at Fogo d Chao next door, so thanks Kona Grill Landmark for making us have a great experience elsewhere.

Just an awful service experience. We walk in and it's dead. All the employees were talking to each other in a group as we entered. The guy that checked us in had his Red Bull sitting on the counter. Our server was so awful. Messed up our order several times, she had no personality and was just so dry towards us and our kids. I had to ask someone else for assistance when things weren't brought to our table several times as well. Then she charged us incorrectly for the order she messed up. Manager wasn't much help but adjusted our order that was $40 over what we should've been charged. Just awful all around. I see they relocated from LaCantera and now wouldn't be surprised if this location failed too. read more

Outstanding service and great food! This restaurant has the ambience to match the wonderful food selections and top tier service in San Antonio. read more

Well Yelp family... my wife and I first came to Kona Grill back in 2014, and honestly, we had a great experience back then. The food was good, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and it felt like a place worth coming back to. Fast forward to today... and wow, what a disappointment. Let's start with the basics: * Our order came out wrong * The silverware was dirty * Drink refills took forever unless we spoke directly to the manager * The steak prices were WAY overpriced for what we actually received Now I always try to give credit where it's due, because not everything about the visit was terrible. The manager at least attempted to correct some of the issues and did lower the price on one of the meals after we complained. But honestly, the overall experience still missed the mark badly. My family ordered steaks, and one thing that immediately stood out was the menu never listed steak sizes -- only the different cuts like Ribeye, NY Strip, etc. So naturally, when you're paying premium steakhouse prices, you expect a decent-sized steak. When our food finally arrived, my daughter and I were both served NY Strips that looked closer to 6oz portions. We brought it to the waiter's attention because for the price, there was no way that could be right. They took both steaks back to the kitchen. About 15-20 minutes later, the steaks returned. My daughter's steak looked much better the second time around, but mine honestly looked like something off a kid's menu. I really wish I would have taken a picture because it was almost unbelievable considering the price tag attached to it. At that point, I had to speak with the manager again. To their credit, they did reduce the cost of the steak, which I appreciated. But even with the adjustment, paying around $46 for a steak of that quality and size just doesn't make sense. For those prices, I honestly could have taken my entire family to Fogo de Chão and had a far better experience, better service, unlimited quality cuts of meat, and left actually feeling satisfied.($306.78) The most disappointing part is that this place used to be good. Maybe it was an off night, maybe standards have changed over the years, but based on this visit, Kona Grill definitely did not live up to the memories we had from 2014. read more

Nowhere near the standard of the sophistication standard we expected based on longstandibg experience at North Star Mall. Food: good, nothing overwhelming. House burger: still wondering about where the mushrooms were to ve found... Decor: cheap, nothing to do with North Star Mall, not even to the standard of a Chili's or Sea Island... Menu: very, very limited... Pricing: grossly, brutally exaggerated ! (example: $18 for edamame, even angry, really ?) Very unsatisfactory experience, in spite of a very good waiters' efforts, even shocked with the value-for-money ! Avoid the place and if North star Mall downgraded to this standard, avoid the brand ! read more

I was expecting the quality of food, service, modern decor and cleanliness of previous Kona Gtill in La Cantera mall and was so disappointed. We went during weekday happy hour when it was not busy. The tables were sticky and the restrooms were old and dingy and the sink was dirty and obviously had not been cleaned in days. Service was terrible and we had to be up to ask another server to refill our drinks and the waiter never checked on our meals. Happy hour menu variety and prices were good but not good enough for us to return to this location. Sad La Cantera location closed. read more

I wanted to love the new Kona for all the nostalgia but nope. This place is not it :( The place is beautiful but vibe was off. Our server was prob the worst I've had in years. Not attentive. Not talkative and would awkwardly stare and walk off. She did not pre buss at all. Spicy edamame was soo spicy I couldn't enjoy it and I love spice. Then we had the chicken lettuce wraps and that chicken was even more spicy!! We had to send it back. Not sure if it was a bad batch but I don't recall it ever being spicy? Skinny margarita was good but that was about it. Kona grill overall is too pricey for what it's worth. read more

Unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations. Our server was absent much of the evening, communication was lacking, and one of our appetizers was never brought out. Hoping the restaurant improves consistency and attentiveness moving forward. Won't be back .... Many other places that are better for price. read more

I use to go to The Northstar mall but some friends live on the other side of town so we thought Kona at La Cantera just to find they move to Landmark, the food was good but the menu is very limited. The Angry edamame is not how it used to be to be. The place is now like a Chili's & I think both food & drinks are really expensive for that setting. Service was very good but I won't go back. read more
