Happy hour is great here! There are several half-price appetizers, pizzas, and sushi rolls available during happy hour. You can only get the half-price specials on the patio, which gets packed, so get here early. I never go away from Kona disappointed, even when I have to pay full price it is well worth the money. I definitely recommend the shitake goat cheese pizza and practically every roll on the menu. My favorite is the crab crunch roll, though some say it’s too sweet.

The Kona Grill features Pacific Rim cuisine. My husband enjoys going there for the sushi. They have a huge sushi menu. Since I don't know anything about sushi, all I can tell you is there is a lot of variety and my husband likes what they've got. That said, MY absolute favorite item here is the Macadamia Chicken. It's a large portion, so be prepared to share or take some home with you. This meal has two large slices of chicken dipped in a macadamia nut coating, cooked perfectly. A macadamia gravy on the side is heavenly. Cheesy mashed potatoes and grilled mixed vegetables on the side are perfect. A dollop of what tastes like an apple/passionfruit sauce finishes the plate. The Hana salad was good, but a little too much ginger for my taste. There is lovely, indoor seating as well as outdoor seating with misters. You can't miss the HUGE saltwater fish tank dividing the restaurant from the bar. If it's crowded (and it is on the weekend) sometimes you can find a seat at the sushi bar and watch your sushi being prepared.
