Kona Grill - El Paso

It was a little tight for spacing. The food was good but on the salty side. Our server was a little busy, probably because there were a lot of us and the place was quite packed, but she was very nice and accommodating. We loved the wines. It was a good experience. Definitely coming back on a regular day.

🧐 Interesting how almost all reviews are 5 stars. 🌟 yelp reviews are more accurate in this occasion. Glad I was not crazy with my 2 stars. This place, is overpriced by a lot. Based on prices, you would think you are at some luxury restaurant. Unfortunately you are not. It’s a shopping center restaurant. A nice one shopping center restaurant. Been there 3 times. They have a cloudy unlit fish tank that looks like a hole in the wall Asian restaurant fish tank. Looks kinda dirty. Our waitress was nice. I did have to ask passing staff for something twice. I got a Pad Thai. It was good for El Paso. The sushi, 🍣, not so much. I am a big fan of sushi. (Try Albertsons fresh sushi.) The side plates had some black cloudy staining and oil in the center. My wife initially said it was the color of the plate, but once I smudged it with my finger she agreed with me. It was like a cloudy smoke color on those plates. The decor lacks luxury. Lacks the nightlife vibe. The wood decor, just does not get it done. People are not taking a picture to post on social media at Kona Grill because it doesn’t look impressive in pictures. Hype and decor is important for a restaurant, especially if they charge so much for food. Look at menu prices before you go. Luxury prices without a luxury experience. Pad Thai was like $35. Lastly the drink, it was mostly ice, two straw sips and it was done. Maybe this is as good as it gets for El Paso.

My husband and I went to Kona for my birthday and it was one of the best dining experiences of my life. Our server Daniela was so kind and friendly and even had a bump-friendly sushi roll made especially for me. The food was unbelievably flavorful and unique, we were blown away by everything. We can’t wait to return!

Our server, Adam, was so so so amazing. We had a party of 20 people and he was so patient and personable. He gave us exceptional customer service. Not to mention we ordered the dragon fruit margarita & the whole table ended up getting one. Our surf & turf and our sushi dishes were delicious. Restaurant was clean, quick and efficient. If we could give Adam a 20 star rating we would. And Adam was hot!!!!

First time dining here during brunch. Atmosphere is nice and thank goodness the weather was nice-they had their door open so it was a nice cool morning. Andrea, our wait staff was friendly and recommended great food. We had the Kona Stir Fry with chicken and shrimp which was DELISH and the crunchy crab traditional roll with Asian salad. The portions were more than I expected and very filling. Had a few Ichiban beers and strawberry Kona-mosa AND ended with dessert, the double stack brownie (which I had to try since Andrea mentioned it was her FAV). Thank you Kona Grill for an exceptional experience.

First time eating at this Koni Grill in El Paso. It did not disappoint...we were seated right away even though it was somewhat crowded. Make sure you get there for Happy Hour as the deals are much better for appetizers and drinks. Kona specializes in sushi and margaritas. The regular food was good and our server Laura did an excellent job engaging with us and checking up on us. Overall I think you would love this place for family to eat.
