We always have a great experience at Kon! We especially love when we are seated with Candice - she always provides excellent service and is friendly and helpful.

The atmosphere is great in the hibachi area. There are tons of tables and a lot of chefs so you do not wait long for them to start at your table. The tables are smaller too which fit just our family making it a nice experience for our group. The chef made the night even better with his cooking skills and jokes. The food was great!! I wish I could remember his name Victor maybe? His catch phrase was “thank you for laughing” after most of the jokes which made it even funnier. Enjoyable night with our family!!

We had a wonderful celebration experience at Kon! That's right...an experience! From the two knowledgeable young women at the entrance desk to our Hibachi chef Eddie, everything was delightful, positive, and fun. “Eddie” gave all 8 of us silly hats to wear and was top notch with his cooking style and personality. We definitely recommend a visit to the Hibachi tables.

The staff was friendly and the restaurant was spacious. It had room for our very large party. The food itself was average. I wish that there was more specialization or authenticity to the menu. The variety of menu items was high, but I would rather have fewer options with stronger execution. The menu felt like a mixed bag of all things Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai from my memory) rather than having a particular dish or specialty that stood out. It was a bit like a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of situation.

Excellent experience for a team building lunch. Our waitress was fantastic and the hibachi chef did amazing. Thank you to the entire staff for being so accommodating and for making great food.

Hibachi was entertaining but kinda loud and the food wasn't very good. If we come back again, we will try the dining room instead of hibachi.

Great experience, everyone enjoyed their food. We did not book the hibachi however we could see it from where we were seated may want to try that next time!

I absolutely LOVE Kon. They have a huge selection of foods. I go often and can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. Their food (including sushi and sashimi) is excellent! They also make an excellent espresso martini! The staff is super friendly. I have certain places where I prefer to sit and they are always accommodating. The only issue I have is that I always want more food than I can eat. That's how good it is. My latest obsession is the Thai spicy chicken wings...I love them! If you sit near the hibachi room it can be a little noisy on a busy night but it's not bad. It's just people having a good time. If you want to sit further away just let them know but you must experience the hibachi at least once.

It was a good experience. Our server was great, the food was great. The downside was that our table was along the direct path to and from the hibachi room. So I felt like there was a constant parade of people, many of whom simply stared at us as they walked by. Of course this isn't anything Kon could change without installing a separate entrance to the hibachi room.

The Hibachi experience was amazing and you are well fed. Overall wonderful experience but was a bit on the pricey side.

Amazing!! Hibachi chef was awesome and funny! Due to it being New Year's Eve it was pretty busy and reservation was a little late but made up for it with free apps!! Thank you so much will definitely be coming back!

I have ordered take out from Kon Asian Bistro three or four times over the last several years and have only experienced consistent quality and generous portions - you know what to expect and this place always delivers.

At the take out counter/ maitre d' stand, I have been greeted and helped by Meg who is just a phenomenal person and the perfect face to represent this establishment and make you feel welcome.

This weekend, I dined in for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by Meg who put us in the care of the spectacular waitress, Jerri.

Jerri was charismatic and personable! She was also incredibly knowledgeable in respect to the menu and drink options. She checked in with us multiple times to make sure our meal and experience was beyond satisfactory. Jerri was awesome and provided top notch service and conversational skills.

I couldn't speak higher of this establishment or the wonderful people who work there. 11/10, would recommend to anyone.
