| - Kona Grill is a modern Asian fusion restaurant crossed with the franchise feel of a Cheesecake Factory. The menu is divided between the typical starters, salads, sandwiches, and entrees, and the sushi menu on the flip side. Personally, with the variety of sushi choices in Vegas, I would never order off the sushi menu, but the prices are actually quite reasonable.
For starters, the smoked gouda fondue is something nice and fun to share. For the entrees, they feature several island-inspired dishes with favorites marked by a triangle. I decided to try the macadamia nut chicken since I'm a fan of crusted chicken dishes. While I enjoyed the chicken itself, I was disappointed by the lack of any macadamia nut flavor. I would say the majority of the crust was made of panko. I did enjoy the accompanying mashed potatoes, broccoli, shoyu cream, and pineapple-papaya marmalade. Although, I do wish the chicken was topped more with the marmalade than the cream. If you're in the mood for seafood, the miso-sak sea bass was really good. The sea bass had big flakes and you get a pretty large portion.
While the food was on the average side for me, I will say the service was excellent and Kona Grill is a great choice if you're looking to dine with a large group. With the reasonable prices, I may have to come back to check out their happy hour, which apparently is all day on Sundays. The staff was on point and they were very accommodating to our large party and were able to split individual checks.
