"This was my first experience at the Chandler Location as I usually dine at the Tampa restaurant. Service was superb but the noise level was so great that it diminished the experience. Unlike the Tampa locale, which is a stand-alone, this restaurant is located in a large mall which contributes to the bustle of the restaurant."

"The Macadamia Chicken is wonderful to say the least. And at $19.00 it is a steal. Knowing how good it is I couldn't find any reason to spend $31.00 on a steak. The Kona Burger is huge and the Caesar salad is quite nice as well. Trade out chips(healthy veggie chips) for fries or veggies. Water wall was a nice backdrop and seating was spacious and comfortable."

"This dinner was awesome! They ran out of the special that night and the manager cane to tell me, very apologetically. He even comped the meal for me. My husband and grandfather ordered the sea as and since his portion was about half the size of my grandfather's another manager brought him a whole new order. Would definitely go back and refer others to go eat there."

"My experience was great! I had 3 adults and 5 children for my daughters 8th birthday. Food was amazing and the kids loved the meals. The only issue was the server. It wasn't a busy day at all yet I only saw him a few time. He took forever to get our orders, and I waited quite a while for a water refill. Aside from that, we WILL be back! Love Kona grill!!"

"Our experience was just ok. Food not cooked as ordered so the person who had their dinner waited until other dinner came and then that dinner wa cold. Probably won't return. Not the Valentine's experience we were hoping for."
