| - Every month, a few Yelpers get together to meet up for a book club, and we try to go to different places each month, so that we can explore all the awesome food and coffee options available in the lovely Las Vegas area.
This past Sunday, we met at Kona Grill, per Stefany V's suggestion, for their all day happy hour!
Kona Grill is located in the Boca Park shopping center, directly across from (are you ready?) a Hipster Emporium. Location aside, I was pretty impressed.
Happy Hour is ONLY available in the bar areas (sushi bar included) and the patio, not in the regular restaurant. This was unfortunate, because it was HOT on Sunday. We sat in the bar, which has AC, but its right next to the open patio area, so it doesn't really stay super cool.
Service was polite and friendly, from the hostesses, to the waiter who told me about the restriction on the HH seating, to our server.
Food was ok! HH has a decent selection of sushi rolls, appetizers, and flatbreads, along with a few drink offerings, some for $6, some for half off.
I had a Bloody Mary (not on the HH menu, but only $7.50, and a pretty decent size),
From the HH menu, I ordered the crab crunch roll: crab mix, motoyaki sauce, cucumber, tempura flakes, eel sauce. This was half off for HH, so it was basically $3.75 for a really good sized roll.
I enjoyed this a lot. I'm not a roll kind of girl...when I do sushi, I do nigiri, and I do AYCE. Since this wasn't an option here, and the happy hour menu is limited, I picked the one that definitely didn't have avocado (allergy) that sounded good, and I really liked it. As far as rolls go, I would definitely come back for this roll, and a few of them at that!
Potstickers: seared chicken & vegetable dumplings, asian slaw, traditional soy
dipping sauce. These were "meh." Too much dough, and it was very chewy. The insides were a little bland. I'd probably go with a flatbread next time instead.
The regular menu is a little pricey for me, especially with how much sushi I usually eat, so I don't know that I'll come here outside of HH, but I will definitely come back to try some more of the HH specials.
