    The honey buttered pretzels were delicious. They are listed as a side but we had them as an appetizer. We thought they’d have a stir fry noodle dish but they don’t. The menu has everything from fish tacos to mac and cheese. We did get a stir fry on rice that was very good. The kids bento box comes with an orange cut to look like a bear which is really cute. We will choose the patio in our reservation next time because it is enclosed and a brighter space. Unfortunately, for our family this is a special occasion restaurant due to the prices.

    We came for happy hour. A great value for your money and a pretty big selection. Everything we had was good - sliders, potstickers, meatballs, BBQ chicken flatbread (a little too spicy for me).

    We had the fire dragon roll and rainbow roll, with some veggies (crispy Brussels and miso potatoes). Everything was good. Got there before 6 pm on Friday and took advantage of the happy hour bar specials. Was a very nice outing, plus free dessert for my birthday. Recommend!

    If you want sushi go to Japanese restaurant where you will get value, quality and service for what you pay! Host was wearing sweatpants and hoodie, waiter was unprofessional and sushi rolls looked like the chief made it with one hand while he was using the other hand playing games on the phone. Will never go back there again

    I used to love coming to this place, and I have many times over the years. The food is good but I wouldn't say "great" for the prices that have skyrocketed, Yes, everything is more these days but unfortunately, the service that night (and the time before) along with the average food just doesn't warrant the dining dollars - which are not significant, so everything has to be great. Honestly, everyone cleared out after the Happy Hour specials were over, so maybe that is the only value on the menu. I get great food and service at a lot of places, just not here anymore. Sadly, I think that was my last time there.

    The best part of our evening was the service. Shane was the best server. He accommodated our every wish. He was kind, attentive, and professional. The manager was also great and helped to resolve an issue we had with one of our orders. The dishes were delicious - especially the sea bass! I think the only thing I'd recommend is that the management consider lowering some entrée prices. The menu items are quite pricey!

    As always, Kona Grill was amazing! Of course, we make sure to go for Happy Hour these days as regular pricing has jumped a lot over the past years - big bill for a family of 5 who LOVE sushi. We've been celebrating birthdays and special occasions at Kona (previously in Lincolnshire and now in Oak Brook) for almost 10 years. We'll be back!

    The food was great and service was just ok. We had reservations for 6pm on a Monday so the restaurant wasn’t packed. However they were hounding us for the used dishes as if they were running short. I literally just picked up the last sushi roll and the guy with the cart came to whisk it away. This happened several times but besides that, I’d recommend and plan on returning.

    When I made my reservations, I noted that the occasion was my son’s 18th birthday. The restaurant called earlier in the day to confirm, and noted they would give him a piece of cake for his special day. Unfortunately, at the end of our meal, they completely forgot. I didn’t want my son to feel awkward, so I didn’t make a stink about it and we left. I was disappointed the restaurant didn’t live up to its commitment. We ordered a few varieties of sushi as appetizers. They were brought to our table at the same time as the main course. What is the point of appetizers if they aren’t delivered in advance of the entree? Overall, while the food was acceptable, the meal was a terrible value for what we paid. In the future I will only return for happy hour specials.

    We specifically asked medium cooked steaks that were cooked well done upon receiving. When they took them back to correct they gave us the fattiest cut of steak that barely had edible meat. The best part of my meal was the green beans. I’ve frequented this place and never had such terrible food. The server also made us feel a bit rushed. We could barely get assistance from him because he was on the go. Even though the restaurant was practically empty.

    Went on a Saturday night for dinner. Our server was absolutely wonderful. Food was delicious, with just a few minor oversights: asked for salad before entree and it was brought together, also asked for spicy pasta and it wasn’t made spicy. Worst part was the staff started vacuuming before we paid, which was before 9 pm. Very distracting, felt like they wanted everyone out of the dining area despite several other tables of people still sitting and enjoying their meals.
