| - Kona Grill has been a staple in the Chandler Mall area for years and years now. Years ago it was known as a more hip, trendy, bar type of place you go out to on a Friday night, now it's more of an eatery. They did a total redecoration and re-do on the interior, and the overall style and look is more modern and calm, it isn't the hip, trendy bar/sushi stop it used to be. But, that is not a problem, as the new style and look of the restaurant is clean, simple, and classy.
The food is fine in taste and quality, it's not amazing, it's not bad, it's pretty decent grub. The sushi is pretty decent, and the sashimi is a good cut with a clean taste. I'm impressed with the size of the cuts on the Salmon Sashimi, it was a hearty appetizer compared to sashimi elsewhere. The actual entrees and specialties are better than the sushi and appetizers, they are richer and tastier. I'd go for the Udon Noodles or Pad Thai if I were you, very tasty and flavorful.
The one and only thing that bugs me about this Kona Grill now, is the new approach to its serving staff. Not to sound like a jerk, but years ago the servers were a little more on top of things and a little more appealing. For instance, I was here recently with my woman and we had a quick bite, our server was nice enough, but didn't have much of a personality, you could tell he had no serving experience, and he was chewing gum...chewing gum as a server, in a semi-upscale restaurant?? Seriously? That is not only a health code violation, but it's downright disgusting and inappropriate. What if he dropped that gum on someone's food? This server also forgot to bring out the soy sauce, the food runner had to do it, and he only came by the table one time to check in. He was a weak server, I say that with all due respect, this server was weak and really needed to brush up on his people skills and manners.
That's what I'm talking about, a few years ago at Kona Grill you would walk in and a young girl with a bubbly personality would service your table, she wouldn't chew gum and forget your order and would make you feel like you are in a high service establishment. But, it's not like this anymore. The one in San Tan, the Gilbert Location is what this location used to be. The staff is more hip and faster, and the atmosphere is more fun. This location pretty much calmed down and lost its pizzazz. Nevertheless, the food is still good and the management is friendly and it's a fine place to grab a quick bite.
