| - Yuck!!! What kind of generic ass Japanese restaurant is this??!! I think it's supposed to be some type of asian fusion?? The feel of Kona is very commercialized and seemed like it fell into the category of being 'just another chain restaurant.'
My BF and I were in the beautiful Boca Park area doing some shopping and was getting hungry for dinner. Being that we're always trying to find new joints to eat at, I saw this place, looked it up on yelp, saw that there were awesome reviews, and suggested we try it. From what I remember, it is a rather large restaurant with a lot of seating. I was overwhelmed by the amount of food they offered. The layout of the menu really reminded me of like an Elephant Bar or Cheesecake factory. They had a bunch of random ass dishes that consisted of things such as: pizzas, flatbreads, egg-rolls, pot-stickers, salads, noodles, sushi. Well, we passed on the dinner menu and leaned towards sushi since thats what I thought this place was.
Their sushi menu is a big fat joke. My BF started off with a $6 seaweed salad that was served on a big ass plate. I kid you not, the amount of seaweed they put on there was the size of a fucking tablespoon. I may be exaggerating a bit but I was damn disappointed with the quantity placed before us. I really felt like they straight took $6 out of my pocket. Robbed!!! Don't bother with this dish. We also ordered some salmon sashimi pieces ($9.50), sushi rolls/hand rolls, and one of their chef's plate: a yellowtail jalapeno sashimi with ponzu and cilantro ($11.00). What a disgrace to Japanese food. This shit tasted horrible. I cannot believe the quality of fish they used. It was cut funny and left a horrible aftertaste. I didn't bother eating any of the sashimi dishes after the first bite. I also ordered a side of rice and had to return it twice. How do you mess up rice?? The first bowl he brought out was hard and dry as hell. Eww!! I can't believe they served that, it was not even edible. You can tell it's been sitting in the cooker for a while. He brought out another bowl and it was the exact same thing so I passed on it. To make things worse our server was rude. He didn't do much and I had to wave him down to keep him updated on the status of our dining experience (ie. rice, drinks, blah). For the most part he just took our order, brought us our bill, we paid, then bounced.
Never Again.
