    The food had good flavor but was really cold. My steak was extremely over cooked after I asked for medium rare. It was very thin and only came with one side so I don’t think it was worth the price. My husband’s stuffing was cold as well. I didn’t complain because I knew it wasn’t the server’s fault and she was great.

    I had an excellent experience during my first visit to this location. To start, Bella was our server, and she was truly amazing and incredibly attentive. Her recommendations were spot on, and her friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

    The food was just okay the prices are a bit high for the quality of food they are serving our waiter was the only part of the experience that was above average he took good care of us even though he was really busy.it was also very loud with the music volume very high and the genre of music did not suit the restaurant atmosphere.

    Started off great with being greeted within 5 minutes. Which we put in our drink and food order- food order was missing items and all the items came out very spread out. Dining experience ended up being 1.5 hours and we still were waiting on item that we asked server to just take off so we can just leave. Still proceeded to wait an additional 10 minutes after conveying we needed to leave.

    It looked like it had been a busy day, because there was a lot of debris on the floor, and things generally didn’t look very clean.  the food was good, but the service was average. The music was also turned up very loud, and it felt more like a nightclub at times.

    Food was really good, however food was delivered without utensils, napkins, etc. Since we were eating sushi rolls, server had no idea that they needed to bring soy sauce, small dishes, etc. Cappuccino was in the menu, but was told it was unavailable. Beyond that, the restaurant was noisy, music was too loud and customers were vaping inside the restaurant. Poor experience, won’t go back.

    Loud music inside at 10:30am; and there were two different audio streams playing at the same time. One coming from main speakers and then something else (different music) playing from bar/kitchen. Restaurant tables and bathroom seemed a bit rundown/dirty. Service staff was nice and cordial; but seemed a bit slow in the AM. The breakfast was fine; but was quite expensive for what it was.

    Great surprise teachers got 50% off. 1942 was 2 for 1. Server was good. Needs to know what the deals are when asked for drink specials or dishes. Time line was great. We got our drinks and app ordered and drinks came out followed by the app lettuce wraps. Great app. Lettuce was not crisp but I want to say it was a different type of leaf. Flavor was great. 5 mins after we finished the appetizer we got our 2nd set of drinks margaritas. Drinks were good. A bit warm on the rocks maybe a longer shake? Idk. Flavor was on point. Then 5-7 mins later we got our main course. All cooked very good. Flavor was good. First time with miso potato’s I felt they were dry and bland. Not sure if that is how it should be. Over all good experience. Music was good helped get relaxed. The person in the front was away from her station when we got there. You may want to always have someone there.

    The food was excellent, but it was extremely loud inside. We requested to move to another table. Our server was helpful. Unfortunately, our food came out at different times, so we couldn’t eat together. My one friend’s desert came out about 20 minutes after our deserts were brought out.

    We visited this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday and had a mixed experience. Unfortunately, the atmosphere inside was damp and had an unpleasant odor, and the tables and menus were sticky. However, I must say that the eggs benedict I ordered was quite enjoyable. My wife initially wanted a double cappuccino, but they couldn't make it for whatever reason, so she settled for regular coffee. She opted for the Kona Loco for her meal, which had seared spam over rice, but surprisingly, it only had one thin slice of spam. In terms of food taste and service, things were satisfactory, but the cleanliness issue was a letdown. It definitely impacted our overall dining experience, and we wouldn't recommend visiting this restaurant due to that aspect.

    Wife and I had a couple of mixed drinks with the lettuce wrap appetizer which was delicious and a generous amount. We then shared surf and turf with an excellent ribeye and grilled shrimp. Service was very good with the server stopping by often but not obtrusive. Overall we had a great dinner. Only complaint would be cost, but drinks at $14 each do add up quickly, total bill was$150.

    Went for my birthday dinner and it was okay. Best thing we’re the sushi and drinks. Dumplings were good. Mac and cheese was hard and dry. Chicken burger was trash and they took forever to make it. Food didn’t come out all together so we had to wait a good while until everyone was served. Server was super nice and did her best.

    Service was exceptionally slow. We had to find someone to give drink/water refills. A few times, our serve forgot to bring things and we had to remind him. I ordered the cucumber salad as a subsitite for rice on the chicken skewer plate. Instead of putting it in a bowl (due to the runny vinagertte), they put it on the plate with the chicken and the vinager ran into the chicken making it soggy. I asked for salt as the cucumber salad was very sweet. 15 minutes late when the server came by, I asked again as was told that he could not find any salt anywhere in the restaraunt. The table behind us started vaping ( ugh) the booth seating is attached. Fortunately we were wrapping up because one of the children in our party has severe asthma and it was starting to impact him. This was the first time we had a bad experience at Kona.

    For the second time the attention of the hostess has been deplorable. I had a reservation and they kept me standing for more than 15 minutes. The restaurant was empty and we sat at a table at the entrance, waiting for our table outside. The hostess came and told us that if someone came to that table we would have to get up, I remind you that the restaurant was empty. Finally she gave us the table that was all dirty. The food is always very good, and the quality of the seafood is excellent, only that they wanted to charge me a drink of 8 dollars in 36.

    Music too loud and server spoke to soft to hear. Had to keep asking him to repeat. Husband’s food served 10 mins before mine so he felt guilty and awkward and waited until I received my plate. By that time his food was getting cold. Asked for club soda with lime and cucumber and was charged for a drink off the alcohol menu. Had to fight that before we left. Disappointed.

    Went on a Sunday evening. I was pleasantly surprised they had happy hour prices. Their happy hour menu is excellent. Prices are fair. The food is good. I love their avocado egg rolls. The margarita was too sweet for me. They definitely use a mixer. The sangria was better. The rolls were good. We did have to ask for soy sauces and chopsticks.

    The service from our waitress sucked! She took forever to take our drink order. Never refilled our drinks. People in our party were sharing waters because she never came back to check on us. We wanted dessert but never even offered to us. She just brought us some dumb device to sort out our own checks. Probably will not go back. We've been here at least 20 times and have never received bad service but this one left a really bad taste in our mouths.
