"The place was lovely, the waitpeople were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious -- but also quite expensive. For as much as we payed for our meal (I got only a dragon roll; my date got clam chowder) we felt we should have gotten about twice as much food. Come here for the ambience and tastiness, but get only appetizers or something and have the bulk of your meal elsewhere to save some cash."

"Rolls and appetizers were good. We ordered cobia for the main entree and it was served cold. The side of rice was dry like it had set out on the plate for quite a while. Broccoli was also cold."

"We really love this place but in this event ALL the plates were different tastes, The food has a different flavor. Starting with the Edamames and we didn´t want to ask for desserts for the bad quality tested."

"17 people and they handled it great. All 17 plates arrived at once and were all hot.We had picky eaters and the variety in the menu helped satisfy all tastes, including gluten free, "healthy" eaters and kids.The atmosphere was noisy. It was a Friday night. You could only hear the people near you.They did not have many places I could see for handling large groups. The layout of the tables and booths was not flexible. This we say at one big long table and you we only got to interact with those at our end of the table.The service was professional, quick and attentive. Our two server knew the menu well and also knew what adjustments to items could be handled by the kitchen.Ali in all a great experience."

"Overall it was a good experience. My partner and I went to Kona Grill for our anniversary and the service was great. I knew they were busy on a Friday night, and although it took a while for the server to greet us, his personality definitely made up for it. The lettuce wraps as our appetizer were amazing as usual, which is the whole reason we chose this restaurant in the first place. I wouldn't recommend the burgers though, I ordered it well done and it came back medium and lacked much needed spices or at least salt and pepper....In the end, I would recommend this place to a few friends just because the atmosphere is very nice and stands out from others. :)"

"Kona can be expensive but they make great drinks and happy hour deals. Their sushi is OK, I have had better for cheaper. The hot apps are wonderful! There were a few times a food runner came to our table with other people's food, didn't bother us but the runner seemed annoyed which we didn't appreciate. An appetizer, sushi, two drinks and a dessert was $50. I probably won't go back unless it is for happy hour."

"I enjoyed having a Valentine's dinner with 7 of my closest girlfriends. There were 'skinny' drinks available, fun waiters/waitstaff, and the vibe was positive . I haven't even mentioned how wonderful the food was. Sushi so fresh that no one spoke when they got their sushi rolls. What a lovely evening! We will definately do this again!"
