Food was good but do Not go if you or someone you know has any kind of nut allergy. Almost every food had nuts or was cross contaminated with nuts.

An excellent meal complimented by exceptional service from Carla!! The food was bursting with great flavors, served hot and generously sized portions. Truly a delightful dining experience!!

If you're looking for a good hawaiian dining experience, don't bother going to call in a grill. The atmosphere is horrible. It is so loud you can't sit inside. And when you do sit outside, you can't talk to the person next to you at the outside table. Because the music is so loud.

I get that food costs along with other operating costs are higher than before the pandemic, but customers should should still expect value, and management supervised recovery when things don’t go as planned.

Slow service as kitchen was the problem. Shrimp fried rice was EH, shrimp were tiny, few and far between while the taste was sweet! Not a fan! Fried chicken sandwich was way too crispy and the sauce was not what one would expect on a chicken sandwich. Prices were high for what you got!

Our server, Jamie, was outstanding. You just know when someone has the right personality to be doing what they're doing, and he certainly has that in spades. He was always there at just the right time, not rushing or hovering, but attentive and coming in at the perfect time. The food, as is our normal experience, was great. One comment about the Sea Bass. I do get this often, both here and at other restaurants, but here is always seems to have a bit of a chewy texture in the middle. I don't know if this is a result of how they thaw it, but other restaurants like PF Changs and Bonefish Grill never seem to have this happen. I would hope their food prep team would look into making this correction. Other than that, everything was spot on. Lastly, one of the managers named Kelsey (I hope I spelled that correctly) came over to see how things were going. It was a nice touch, and she was super friendly. I can highly recommend this restaurant and the team members mentioned above.

First time visit for 6 of 7 in our party and the service, food and experience overall was amazing! Kudos to Daniel our server for his patience and willingness to ensure everyone's needs were met and to Deshawn the GM who checked on us twice with personality plus! Truly grateful for a perfect outcome.

When they offer “still water” recommend you immediately specify “tap water” otherwise they will automatically open a bottle of Fiji Water and add that to your bill for an additional 8 dollars. Ripping us off on the water probably gave them a lot of pleasure. This review will not give them a lot of pleasure. Let’s begin with the theme and decor. The name “Kona” elicits thoughts of Hawaii and Polynesian culture. However, here you will find no Polynesian decor but rather a dark expansive lounge-like setting with ambient smooth jazz. The menu similarly avoids Polynesian or Hawaiian cuisine but is more geared towards American-Asian fusion. Here you will find cheeseburgers, sushi rolls, flat bread pizzas, Thai food, etc. the wide food varieties are almost schizophrenic. We started out with Avocado Roll appetizers. They were so tasteless that the dipping sauce was unable to help. The Pad Thai Noodles that I ordered stands out as the worst Pad Thai I have ever eaten (and I’ve eaten a lot of bad ones in my day). This had eggs so badly burned and charred as to become black burnt flecks and glops throughout that had to be picked out. How the cook, the chef and the server could allow this to get served to a customer is beyond me. The barbecue chicken flat bread was awful and my dining partner left most of it on the plate. This entire experience was patently awful - and the worst part was getting the high bill at the end. We will never be back.

A great spot to meet friends! Autry was attententive and enthusiastic about the food. His recommendation held up. Will be back!
so we use to go here back in the day for their awesome happy hour. we went tonight for dinner/ food was gross. i couldn't eat more than two bites of the lettuce wraps and the california roll tasted funny also. i feel like the meat was sitting in a pot for days.

An hour wait which was expected but it took another hour to get the main course entree. The ribs that was ordered came on top of an Asian slaw with mayonnaise that could not be eaten. We were so tired waiting that we took the ribs home to eat the next day. Service was absolutely terrible. The manager came by to serve the meal because the waitress couldn’t handle the volume of people. We have been there many times in the past (3 years ago) and will not ever come back. Prices for just everything on the menu has just about doubled since the last time we were there. So much for 5% inflation!!!! If you want to pay for expensive items with average food you come to the right place.

What a complete disaster of an evening. We had 4pm reservations on Mother's Day. We got seated around 425pm. Not too bad considering how many people were there and it being a holiday. To make a long story short, it was 645pm when we got up and left because we still had not gotten our dinner. Service was absolutely terrible. When we would finally see our waitress, she would tell us to hold on maybe for another 15 minutes. at one point, we were told it was going to be another 5 minutes for which we waited another 25 minutes or so. The food obviously never came. Just an awful display of restaurant management. Never again will I visit this restaurant.

Excellent service, tasty food 12 of us went for lunch. We were seated outside beside the water feature, which was great. The servicing staff were friendly and efficient. I had wonderful Korean 5 spice ribs - the ribs were tender and the flavour was excellent with a nice little kick. Overall a good experience with good food - well done.
