Kona Grill

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SPOT TO EAT AND DRINK DURING THE DAY! The atmosphere is so fun. sucks it is temporary closed but as soon as they re-​open I will definitely be there 2 – 3 times a week! Great happy hour prices, great service, strong drinks, delicious food. what else can I say?! Lol
Just a tip: Pump up the music and please don’t ever play slow low tempo music. Makes people feel tired and bored.

It’s a shame it’s closed, but… I’m certain it will be even more fantastic when it re-​opens… Can’t wait!

Never a disappointment. I love how all day is happy hour on Sundays… I ordered the avocado egg rolls, pepperoni flatbread and a blended margarita. Yes, that was all for me (hey, I was hungry)…the waitress was amazing, very attentive… I left happy and full… :)

The place is always very clean and super laid back and the staff is extremely nice!
A couple friends and I usually get together and go for happy hour which is served in the bar or the patio areas. In the summertime it’s extremely hot to sit on the patio, (which is expected because it’s Las Vegas) but there are misters all over. In the winter they place tall heaters on the patio to keep you warm. In the inside bar area there are a few tables placed but it can get crowded in there.
Ive had just about everything on the happy hour menu and it’s all GREAT food and drinks! The prices can range from $ 3-​$ 6 and up but are well worth it.
I’ve came for just regular lunch and dinner which could be pricey but i love it, so it doesn’t matter!

Our waiter was wonderful (sorry I didn’t get his name). The food was delicious, I had the macadamia chicken and my husband had the Hawaiian ribeye. The kids meals were wonderful as well, and presented in a beautiful little box (and only $ 6!). My coconut mojito was yummy. Our first time at this restaurant, but it will not be our last.

Love it!!! Layne thank you for you for recommendations!!! You were pleasant, upbeat, and fun! We got the repeat necessities and you guided us into amazeaballs additions!!!

Amazing food & drinks! It’s a little pricy but the quality of the food makes it worth it! I had 2 different salmon sushi rolls & they were both delicious! I also had the tomato bisque to start… strange combo I know, & it was so good!
My mom had the Macadamia crusted chicken breast… so bomb! The sauces make it!!!
Chicken satay is really good too!
Fresh fish was a Lemon Snapper & was really delicious & super fresh tasting!
We finished dinner with desserts… Key Lime pie & Carrot Cake, both huge portions & super good!
Cocktails were really good too! Totally recommend this place!

Wow! What a surprise! I have to say I wasn’t expecting much being a chain, but I was very impressed.
I’m not a huge salmon fan, but for some reason I ordered the miso glazed salmon salad for lunch. I really need to be in the mood to order salmon and today I was. Kona Grill did not disappoint. The salmon was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. The dressing on the salad is amazing! I would love to get that recipe! The portion of salmon was huge, something I would expect for dinner. I loved it!
My companion ordered the tacos, a combination of the macadamia nut chicken and the shrimp. She really loved the macadamia nut chicken tacos, but said the shrimp was a bit bland. She said the fried Rice that came with the dish was OK, but not great.
We started the meal by ordering an appetizer calamari. It had a light dusting of chili on it that was nice and came with a side of aioli. The calamari was tender and very fresh. The batter however, needed more seasoning. We added a lot of lemon and salt. Once we did that it was delicious.
Something I don’t normally comment on are the drinks. We both ordered iced tea. It was probably the best restaurant Ice-​T I’ve ever had. I also want to complement the staff. They were very attentive from the moment we walked in until they said goodbye when we left. If it weren’t for the seasoning issue, I would give Kona Grill five stars. I will definitely go back and try something else.

This is by far one of our favorite happy hour spots! One of the larger HH menus. Includes some favorite sushi rolls. The patio is great! Mostly in the shade, they have misters that keep the patio cool.
We were greeted promptly, and our server was at our table within a couple of minutes.
We love the Kona Grill, and we keep it in our rotation of favorite restaurants.
We will be coming back soon, as my husband would like to feel what the evening vibe is like.
I would give this place 5 stars, however I believe that there is always room for improvement.

Great service, great food, and good drinks. Kona Grill is definitely going on my regular rotation.
I sat at the bar for happy hour and even though it was busy it didn’t take long for a bartender to get me a water and a menu. Since I hadn’t been here before I ordered the lettuce wraps and Philly roll thinking they’d be on the smaller side; they were not. The lettuce wraps were a perfect combination of sweet and savory and the Philly roll wasn’t bad either. I also had two Sangrias trying the sparkling and the red and both were tasty.
My water glass was never empty long and I was quickly asked if I wanted anything else once my Sangrias got low. My bill was waiting for me in a glass at the bar and once I pulled out my card it was quickly taken care of. I couldn’t really find any fault with my dinner and look forward to trying them again.

Every month, a few Unilocalers get together to meet up for a book club, and we try to go to different places each month, so that we can explore all the awesome food and coffee options available in the lovely Las Vegas area.
This past Sunday, we met at Kona Grill, per Stefany V’s suggestion, for their all day happy hour!
Kona Grill is located in the Boca Park shopping center, directly across from (are you ready?) a Hipster Emporium. Location aside, I was pretty impressed.
Happy Hour is ONLY available in the bar areas (sushi bar included) and the patio, not in the regular restaurant. This was unfortunate, because it was HOT on Sunday. We sat in the bar, which has AC, but its right next to the open patio area, so it doesn’t really stay super cool.
Service was polite and friendly, from the hostesses, to the waiter who told me about the restriction on the HH seating, to our server.
Food was ok! HH has a decent selection of sushi rolls, appetizers, and flatbreads, along with a few drink offerings, some for $ 6, some for half off.
I had a Bloody Mary (not on the HH menu, but only $ 7.50, and a pretty decent size),
From the HH menu, I ordered the crab crunch roll: crab mix, motoyaki sauce, cucumber, tempura flakes, eel sauce. This was half off for HH, so it was basically $ 3.75 for a really good sized roll.
I enjoyed this a lot. I’m not a roll kind of girl… when I do sushi, I do nigiri, and I do AYCE. Since this wasn’t an option here, and the happy hour menu is limited, I picked the one that definitely didn’t have avocado (allergy) that sounded good, and I really liked it. As far as rolls go, I would definitely come back for this roll, and a few of them at that!
Potstickers: seared chicken & vegetable dumplings, asian slaw, traditional soy
dipping sauce. These were «meh.» Too much dough, and it was very chewy. The insides were a little bland. I’d probably go with a flatbread next time instead.
The regular menu is a little pricey for me, especially with how much sushi I usually eat, so I don’t know that I’ll come here outside of HH, but I will definitely come back to try some more of the HH specials.

Thanks to the all the Unilocal reviews I was aware that happy hour is all day on Sunday. We originally had a reservation for 10 at 3 PM on Mother’s Day in the dining room. When we arrived they were still setting up our table. The very courteous hostess then informed us that there was room available for our party on the patio. I then remembered about the all day happy hour and we accepted the offer to sit outside. The weather was perfect that day which provided a great atmosphere for our meal.
Happy hour gave us the chance to order and sample many items. For drinks, I had a bottle of cold sake for $ 6.75 and my wife had the sparkling sangria for $ 6.50. For food, they have select items for $ 6 and other rolls and flatbreads for half off. We ordered pretty much the entire HH menu except for a flatbread. Everything was quite tasty and no plate was left with food on it. The shrimp tacos were a hit and I enjoyed the Voodoo Roll which has spicy crawfish, tuna, and habanero sauce.
Mychael was our server and he did a fine job despite being very busy with multiple tables aside from our 10 top. One thing to be aware of is that the bar and patio areas are first come first serve so there will be vultures hovering around, especially when you are coming close to finishing because they want your table. Happy hour at Kona Grill is a good value and we’ll definitely be back.

PRETTY GOOD HAPPY HOUR! I came on a Sunday at 2 and it was pretty packed.
I ordered a white wine sangria $ 6 and it was refreshing and with just the right amount of sweetness. They also have sake bombs with a whole bottle of Kirin and hot sake for $ 7 that my boyfriend had.
We ordered:
Flatbread pizza: it was good. Lots of cheese and pepperoni!
Calamari: slightly rubbery and tough. But the spicy mayo complimented it well.
Spinach and artichoke dip: literally leafs of spinach and chunks of artichoke. I didn’t really that at all.
Spicy chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps: my favorite! The chicken and shrimp were very savory and was perfectly spicy when you add that sauce.
Overall I would come back! My total was only $ 45 dollars. Can’t beat that.

Horrible service from Chris the manager.
Too bad because I really enjoyed the lobster mac and cheese which wasn’t part of happy hour but how would I know right? We asked to see the happy hour menu but Chris points some of the items out all over the place on the regular menu and said he’d come back with a happy hour menu but never did.
Two more pair join us at the bar, we were the first, and they get a server and way better server than us. We sat at the bar with our shitty spicy tuna roll, and awesome tasting (but not on the happy hour) lobster mac and cheese, while the other party had about 8 plates, tons of drinks, filled water cups. All I really wanted was to get a couple happy hour cocktail and try more happy hour items. Water was never refilled and we only saw him twice, three with the check. The first time was to take the order, second to drop the food, and finally to pay.
He took a couple of our items off the check but who gives a shit about that when good food, or absent food, is ruined by bad service. I tipped the cost of the discounted items.

We made reservations on Easter Sunday for 10 people and had no problems. Surprisingly, the restaurant wasn’t too busy. Our server seemed new as he couldn’t give us recommendations from the menu at all.
Luckily, my party was blessed with my presence because I ate at Kona Grill several times before since I used to have a cousin that worked at Kona Grill. I have eaten most of the items from the menu so I was their food expert there. I did recommend the calamari, lettuce wraps, miso sake sea bass, basil pesto linguini, and macadamia nut chicken.
The future hubby and I ordered the calamari and miso sake sea bass, which used to be my favorite. When we got our order, I was highly disappointed. It wasn’t what I remember ever having. The calamari did not taste fresh, the miso-​sake sea bass was tough, and the rice tasted old/​stale. Fortunately, it seemed that everyone else other than myself and fiancé were happy with their food so I didn’t express my dissatisfaction.
The server rarely checked up on us, but he did split our checks so that was nice.

Came here for happy hour with a group of ladies. The front patio and bar area were totally packed! We sat at the bar and then grabbed the first open pub style seating. We got lucky.
Drink orders were very very slow to get started as there were a ton of people here around 6 pm. I think we waited about 15 minutes for our initial drinks. However, after that, our waitress, Nicole, was on point and making moves! The rest of our food and drink orders were very prompt.
Happy hour appetizers were wonderful! I got the lettuce wraps, which were sooo delicious. We had a great time sharing dishes and enjoying our white sangrias!
The atmosphere was great for after work. I will definitely be coming back!

Hadn’t been here in awhile other than a few happy hours for sushi. I used to eat here a lot for lunches, as well as frequent trips for the macadamia nut chicken.
I went here with my friend who when we were dating loved the macadamia nut chicken, so we dropped in Saturday night around 730pm. They must have had a huge kids party because the place was packed with kids and parents, and had a buffet style set up in the middle of the room. It was ending, so the noise level went from loud to quiet in about 20 minutes.
Ordered the mac nut chicken, with extra shoyu cream sauce. The chicken came out with very little sauce on it, and a minuscule amount of mango sauce. Lots of garlic chunks in the garlic mashed that really overwhelmed the potatoes. The veggies tasted a little burnt. The chicken was not as moist as before. I was actually pretty disappointed with the meal as prices have inched up, and meal quality has gone down.
Kudos to our server Jason who was fantastic and did everything right. Too bad he doesn’t cook lol

One star for atmosphere, one star for waiter attentiveness, and one star for dessert.
We came for happy hour after reading some positive Unilocal reviews. The sushi, while cheap, was meh. We ordered the special crab crunch roll, regular special crab roll, Atlantic roll, philly roll, spicy ahi roll, and gyoza. All the rolls pretty much looked and tasted the same. They were a bit on the small side and lacked the depth of flavor that I normally expect from sushi. Maybe the «regular menu» sushi items are a bit better (someone ordered a nigiri platter and it looked delicious) but as far as happy hour goes I wasn’t blown away. Again, though, for about $ 4 a plate, not terrible. I also ordered the Happy Hour Margarita, which was good and strong.
Our waiter was prompt and we didn’t have to wait long for his attention even though we sat at the sushi bar away from his other tables. For dessert we had the brownie a la mode thing, which sounded CRAZY expensive at $ 7.50, but the brownie was huuuuuge and decadent and the perfect texture. We split it between the three of us and it was more than enough.
Bottom line: Probably won’t come back here for sushi but may return to try other menu items and drinks and desserts.

Sunday is all-​day Happy Hour for food and drinks– that’s reason enough to give this place a try. Grab a cheap, light lunch here between stops browsing the shops in Boca Fashion Village with some friends.
HH eats menu has several sushi rolls half-​off and a list of others priced at $ 6/​each– opted for the BAMA ROLL (crab mix, cream cheese, jalapeño, tuna, avocado, soy paper, spicy motoyaki sauce), which I enjoyed and the VOODOO ROLL (spicy crawfish mix, avocado, habanero tuna mix, smelt roe), which was both falling apart and had unbalanced flavors.
Would come back with a group to try more of the HH menu, but the sushi options here seem to be hit or miss based on this and vague prior visits– nothing in particular stands out. The macadamia nut chicken is a tasty dish if you’re in the mood for a non-​seafood entrée.
Interior is a little swanky, seating available at the sushi bar, alcohol bar, or patio, as well as regular indoor seating. Service is friendly and dishes have nice presentation. Not sure I’d return outside of HH times though.

It was back to Kona Grill with friends, where Shrimp Tempura featured real small and thin shrimp, but otherwise all was fine. A bowl of Miso Soup was tasty, and a small Oriental Salad filling. A well-​prepared Rainbow Roll was excellent, and so was Shrimp & Pork-​Fried Rice to go with the ever enjoyable entrée of moist Miso-​Sake Marinated Baked Seabass. A taste of grilled Ono with Mango Salsa also proved to be moist and delicious.
I washed down my meal with hot Organic Sweet Chamonile Citrus Tea in a cast iron pot, while Diane enjoyed glasses of hard to find IBC Root Beer. Service was very good except for late transport of the Fried Rice. Our friends, who had lived for years in Hawaii, greatly enjoyed their dessert of Passion Fruit Crème Brulee (Lilikoi).
This place has proven to be consistently very good through the years, and will continue to be on my list of stalwart restaurants to which I will periodically return.

Food was ok nothing special
Service nice & Sweet
Drinks: Strong flavorless whats wrong with Vegas its Not so Hard to make Good Drinks.
Crowded& busy
