NOT WORTH THE PRICE GO FOR HAPPY HOUR OR NOT!

by madie86

Walking into the restaurant it seems pretty roomy and nice big booths and a giant fish tank in both the Sugarland and Galleria area but food wise I believe you DON'T get what you pay for. Very pricey food for not great food quality. I decided to try an entree for dinner and since it was a slow Sunday night I believed it would come out pretty fast. Although it was quick the Sea Bass infused with miso flavoring or so what the menu described was not worth $23. You could get a better meal at TGI Friday's or Chili's for better and cheaper.Getting back to the Sea Bass I believe it was marinated too long and it was tough and overcooked. It wasn't flaky or buttery for a white fish and it was not best quality. The fish on the other the server didn't even know sea bass sushi from sea bass entree, but he did know what toro was. I also ordered a miso soup which was the worst! Miso was sooo dark you would think it was clam chowder! Salty and the cubes of tofu was hard yuck! When I told ther server he looked at it like I was lying, I can make miso at home and if someone sits at the sushi bar then I would think they know their sushi. The sushi bar was empty no fish and it looked like they closed early it was round 8 pm when I ordered. I had so much high hoped for this restaurant me and my friends came in for happy hour and it looked fresh and lively but I guess its just the bar and patio side. My server seemed preoccupied and nice. I order a mango mojito and voss water and he didn't even offer to open the water and pour it out at the very least. People were cleaning around the kitchen and mopping the floor when I started my meal and the smell or bleach just ruined the ambiance the fish quality was alright but nothing comparably to other sushi bars. For Kona to have sushi is a shame and the food was terrible for the selling price either get your stuff together or lower your prices. Service was not good barely decent please have more professional servers. Bring shame to sushi bars.

• Pros: Average ambiance farely good price happy hour
• Cons: Service, sushi, food

Ok I will just say stay away!

Don't waste your time.

My boyfriend and I went here on a Thursday night and it was horrible. We sat down in the bar and it took a while for our server a while to come over. After sitting there for a while screaming to each other over the LOUD music our server finally showed up.

Long story short we order two bud lights, one hot sake, a phoenix roll and four fresh water eel sushi pieces, it cost us 40 bucks.

The next day I was sick because the sushi was NOT fresh and I only ate one piece.

Save yourself the time and the money and DON'T go to Kona Grill there are way other better places to go and the food is fresh the service is light years better and the price is better then here.

• Pros: You get to eat with your hands because the servers forgot to bring you utensils, so your being green right?!
• Cons: Freshness of food, painfully slow service, horribly overpriced!

My favorite restaurant of all time!

by ceebee9021

I love kona! It's a bit pricey, but their happy hour is wonderful! Half price pizzas, sushi, appetizers (which are big enough to be meals). Also, half price saki, cosmos, appletinis, and domestic beer.

Their sushi is fantastic, pizza is scrumptious, and every other dish i've had! MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER!

• Pros: food, happy hour, atmosphere
• Cons: happy hour service (but the servers have 9 tables at a time on the patio and bar so I won't ever complain)

One of the Best Sugar Land Happy Hour Spots !

by jewelryjunkie

I really love the happy hour atmosphere at this Sugar Land Town Center restaurant.

I love the huge fish tank and the outside covered eating area.

The bar seating is nice if you want to watch TV, and the appetizers are really yummy !

This is a great place to meet friends after work who live in the area, or if you just want to try something

different. I have never eaten dinner there so I can comment on that yet, but if you are looking for food that will fill you up before a couple of drinks then this is the place to be if you are in the area.

Very Good

by csfh

The food is great! I have not tasted anything bad at this restaurant. The macadamia nut crusted chicken is wonderful and the Big Island meatloaf is some of the best I've had anywhere- great combination of meats. The prices are really reasonable, and the portions are huge.

• Pros: food
• Cons: parking at the mall, location

Arizona-based chain known for its creative steak and sushi dishes, vibrant lounge area and massive 2,000-gallon saltwater aquarium centerpiece.

In Short
This contemporary restaurant in First Colony Mall provides an upscale dining experience with an affordable price tag. An open kitchen delights diners seated at nearby tables and cozy banquettes, while a large aquarium (separating the bustling bar area) makes for interesting conversation. The menu is a mix of Hawaiian- and Asian-flavored dishes including macadamia nut chicken, lemongrass crusted swordfish, noodle dishes and steaks. The sushi menu features varied rolls as well as some in-house creations.

good service...thats about it

by cfyjnkyliz

i was so excited that there would finally be another place in the galleria. i went a few weeks after it opened and was very dissapointed. the sushi tasted like it came from a buffet and there was such a random combination of dishes on the menu. i will say that the server who waited on us was amazing. fun, funny, helpful.

• Pros: service
• Cons: food

Won't be back anytime soon, unless for happy hour!

by diane713

Went there for lunch but we should have waited till happy hour! Great decor, but food was only so so, drinks were expensive, and service wasn't that great (and they weren't busy).

Waste of Money and Time!!

by gohel24

My boyfriend and I went there this past Sunday to enjoy a new restaurant. We had the potstickers to start off with, which were enjoyable. For our main course, he ordered the Sweet-Glazed Chicken Breast and I ordered the Chicken Wrap. What a mistake!! His meal should've been called a pigeon breast since it was so small. My wrap had huge pieces of VERY bland chicken! I sent my plate back after tasting it once since chewing the chicken was similiar to having gum in my mouth. I then ordered the Pad Thai noodles with shrimp. By the time my noodles came, my boyfriend had finished his pigeon breast and was watching me as I started to eat. Again, I was shocked at how bad the noodles were. They were undercooked and had a really bad after taste. I am not a picky eater by any means but this place just kept bringing out bad food. The waiter even charged me the higher price, which was the noodles, even though I ate about 4 bites and left my plate full and still smoking from the heat. I will never go back and don't recommend this place at all.

• Pros: The waitor was nice enough to switch ou t my meal
• Cons: Too bad the meals did not taste good
