Nice atmosphere and excellent service. We ordered apps of the happy hour menu and wangyu fried rice from the full menu. Would prefer different lettuce for the wraps, something crisper like maybe butter or iceberg. Overall, everything was great!
Ordered 2 Big island ribeyes, an order of edamame, an order of potstickers, an order of spicy shrimp tempura, 2 kids cheeseburger meals(missing oranges, they said their produce truck didn’t come yet), California roll & the spicy tuna roll. I honestly think the food was mid. Definitely not worth the prices we paid. Staff was friendly & attentive. Giving a 3 because the food or prices could’ve been better.
My bestie and I went to El Paso from Carlsbad for the day. We chose to eat here. God places us where we need to be that’s for sure. The service from the door to the table was excellent. The manager is a gem. 💎 our server was a gem 💎, Aishah was not only stunning, she was full of culture, intellect, confidence, knowledge, dedication, determination, difference. We will serve back! The food was amazing! The seaweed, cucumber salad with the vinaigrette under the tuna is addictive. The avocado egg rolls are delicious with the sauce. I think they should offer either breast of grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs with the cilantro chicken, because breasts even thinned get dry. Dark meat is more flavorful, and with the turmeric rice it would be fire. 🔥
We decided to skip the kitchen chaos this year and try Kona Grill for Thanksgiving dinner. Best decision we made all month. From the moment we walked in, everything clicked. The host team was warm and welcoming (zero trace of the holiday rush stress you’d expect), and our server was flat-out excellent: attentive without hovering, genuinely enthusiastic about the specials, and timed everything perfectly. The vibe inside was upscale yet relaxed (sleek modern décor, soft lighting, chill music); festive enough for the holiday but never cheesy. The special Thanksgiving menu was way more creative than the usual turkey-and-stuffing suspects. The star was the Macadamia Nut Turkey: tender roasted turkey breast coated in a crunchy macadamia crust, served with a light passion fruit glaze that sounds wild but absolutely works. It’s the perfect blend of island flair and holiday comfort. The ribs (yes, ribs on Thanksgiving) were fall-off-the-bone perfect, glazed in that signature Kona BBQ sauce with just the right sweet-smoky balance. Sides were on point too: creamy mashed potatoes, crisp green beans, and a killer pineapple jalapeño cornbread stuffing that I’m still thinking about. Portions were generous, cocktails were strong (the spiced pumpkin margarita was dangerously good), and the dessert menu tempted us hard, but we were happily stuffed. Kona Grill turned what could have been just a convenient holiday meal into a legit dining highlight. If you want excellent service, creative food that still feels festive, and a beautiful environment that makes the holiday feel special without the dishes afterward, book it next year. We’re already
It had been a long day and I we were just looking for a place to remove all that stress and this was just the right place. The vibes here are amazing, calm enough to relax but not enough to fall asleep. Food was great as well. Laura was amazing as well, she kept checking on un often and even though it was our first time she made us feel like frecuente clients. Will definitely recommend
