Opinions de Kona Grill El Paso
I love the refined, yet relaxed vibe. The food is served timely, and in healthy portions. My current picks are the shrimp tempura, Kona calamari, and the sushi rolls. Dining here is always decidedly enjoyable, as the service is friendly, and top-notch, especially from Nicole, Jackie, Andrea & Alexa. Definitely, one of my favorite restaurants in El Paso. I'm actually planning to come back for dinner tonight!
We visited Kona Grill last night for Valentine’s for our first time last night. As expected the restaurant would be full, & although the time we were sat surpassed the reservation time, the Manager Cintia ensured we had a great experience while we waited! We were served complimentary champagne, & appetizers which was a sweet unexpected surprise. Thank you Cintia, & Kona for a beautiful evening! Will definitely be visiting again.
Great service! Angel was our server and I just want to take a moment to thank you for the great service. Your kindness, attention, and positive attitude really made our experience special. You were attentive without being overwhelming, and you made sure everything was just right. It truly makes a difference when someone takes pride in what they do. We appreciate you and the effort you put into making our visit enjoyable. Keep up the amazing work!
Everything was fantastic! We were greeted warmly immediately when we came in and sat quickly; service was prompt, kind, and attentive. Food is FANTASTIC. Excellent portion sizes as well, especially kids. We also had a couple of drinks from the bar and they were so good. Props to the manager on duty Cinthia; she made sure our visit was spectacular, and our server alyssa was awesome. Thanks so much!
Wonderful service from start to finish. Our server, Brian, was excellent—empathetic, friendly, and very attentive. He was quick and always made sure our table was well taken care of. The food was amazing with a unique flavor. The steaks were cooked perfectly, exactly to the right point. Highly recommended!
Eric was so incredible! Very attentive server who truly elevated the dining experience. From the moment we were seated, he was warm and genuinely welcoming. He struck the perfect balance between being present and giving us space, checking in at just the right times. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his recommendations were spot-on. What stood out most was his calm, professional demeanor and clear commitment to making sure everyone at the table felt taken care of. Eric’s service felt personal rather than routine, and it made our meal that much more enjoyable. I would absolutely hope to be seated in his section again.
My bestie and I went to El Paso from Carlsbad for the day. We chose to eat here. God places us where we need to be that’s for sure. The service from the door to the table was excellent. The manager is a gem. 💎 our server was a gem 💎, Aishah was not only stunning, she was full of culture, intellect, confidence, knowledge, dedication, determination, difference. We will serve back! The food was amazing! The seaweed, cucumber salad with the vinaigrette under the tuna is addictive. The avocado egg rolls are delicious with the sauce. I think they should offer either breast of grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs with the cilantro chicken, because breasts even thinned get dry. Dark meat is more flavorful, and with the turmeric rice it would be fire. 🔥
We decided to skip the kitchen chaos this year and try Kona Grill for Thanksgiving dinner. Best decision we made all month. From the moment we walked in, everything clicked. The host team was warm and welcoming (zero trace of the holiday rush stress you’d expect), and our server was flat-out excellent: attentive without hovering, genuinely enthusiastic about the specials, and timed everything perfectly. The vibe inside was upscale yet relaxed (sleek modern décor, soft lighting, chill music); festive enough for the holiday but never cheesy. The special Thanksgiving menu was way more creative than the usual turkey-and-stuffing suspects. The star was the Macadamia Nut Turkey: tender roasted turkey breast coated in a crunchy macadamia crust, served with a light passion fruit glaze that sounds wild but absolutely works. It’s the perfect blend of island flair and holiday comfort. The ribs (yes, ribs on Thanksgiving) were fall-off-the-bone perfect, glazed in that signature Kona BBQ sauce with just the right sweet-smoky balance. Sides were on point too: creamy mashed potatoes, crisp green beans, and a killer pineapple jalapeño cornbread stuffing that I’m still thinking about. Portions were generous, cocktails were strong (the spiced pumpkin margarita was dangerously good), and the dessert menu tempted us hard, but we were happily stuffed. Kona Grill turned what could have been just a convenient holiday meal into a legit dining highlight. If you want excellent service, creative food that still feels festive, and a beautiful environment that makes the holiday feel special without the dishes afterward, book it next year. We’re already
We came by to have an early dinner and celebrate our anniversary. Dixy was beyond amazing. The service was phenomenal. She surprised us with a finger licking good desert to help us celebrate. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Thank you Dixy for make it a memorable visit. We will be back.
The food was so delectable. The portion sizes were perfect and the atmosphere was pleasant. Our server, Eric, went above our expectations for what we wanted for our service. He was personable, friendly, and made sure that we were satisfied with each meal we got and stayed on top of everything. He even worked with the kitchen on our inquiry on getting a side of garlic bread, since we loved the garlic bread that came with the lemon garlic pasta. He definitely made our first experience there great and we would definitely come back again.
It had been a long day and I we were just looking for a place to remove all that stress and this was just the right place. The vibes here are amazing, calm enough to relax but not enough to fall asleep. Food was great as well. Laura was amazing as well, she kept checking on un often and even though it was our first time she made us feel like frecuente clients. Will definitely recommend
5/5 Stars – Outstanding Service! Our server went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. From the moment we were seated, they greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcome. They were attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at the perfect times to refill drinks and ensure we had everything we needed. What impressed us most was their knowledge of the menu – Monica offered great recommendations that turned out to be spot-on! The food came out quickly, and they made sure every dish was just right. Their friendly attitude, professionalism, and genuine care made our meal even more enjoyable. We truly felt like valued guests and will definitely return because of the outstanding service we received. Thank you for making our evening so memorable! The bestest server Monica
Today my boyfriend & I are celebrating our third anniversary and Kona Grill really made our celebration so much more special. The food was delicious, (I highly recommend the cilantro lime chicken), the atmosphere was great, and our waitress Andrea was the sweetest! Loved the service! Will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you so much Kona Grill! 🩷
I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Kona Grill recently, and while the food and atmosphere were top-notch as always, what truly made the experience unforgettable was our waiter, Jacob. From the moment we were seated, Jacob brought a level of professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness that is rare to find. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. His timing was impeccable-always there when we needed something, but never intrusive. You could tell he genuinely cared about making our experience enjoyable. What stood out most was Jacob's ability to make us feel like more than just customers. He created an environment that was relaxed, friendly, and welcoming-turning a good dinner into a truly memorable night. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and it absolutely shows. Kona Grill, you've got a gem in Jacob. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves because he truly made our visit exceptional. We'll definitely be back-and asking for Jacob by name!

Had a great date night here. Staff was friendly and attentive. The steak and sushi were fantastic, topped it off with a awesome carrot cake.
The portions are very small. The appetizers are not meant for sharing, they are individual portions. The food is good, but the price is very expensive. There were four of us and we paid $300, which I thought was excessive. We ordered meat and the pieces were very small and few; I didn't like it. The service was good, they didn't get my husband's drink order wrong.
Ambiance and environment of the restaurant was awesome. However, that's about as far as it goes. Diversity of the mean had an odd flow. Over priced meats with bad paired attempts at an island theme. …

First time at Kona Grill. Honestly will probably try it again but not happy hour. The appetizers were not good at all they didn't look appetizing. We had the sushi rolls I believe they were boneles…
Ordered 2 Big island ribeyes, an order of edamame, an order of potstickers, an order of spicy shrimp tempura, 2 kids cheeseburger meals(missing oranges, they said their produce truck didn’t come yet), California roll & the spicy tuna roll. I honestly think the food was mid. Definitely not worth the prices we paid. Staff was friendly & attentive. Giving a 3 because the food or prices could’ve been better.
It all started when we waited 10 minutes for a server to take our drink order. He mentioned that our actual server was “in the restroom” but he took our drink order anyways. Then after ordering some very good Spicy Tuna Rolls as an appetizer, it took a long time for our food to arrive and I almost felt the need to order another drink from the bartender myself. The Shrimp Poke was bland but overall not bad, tasted the Wagyu Fried Rice, it was good but the beef was a little chewy. For the expensive price, I do not plan to return.
Overall it's was tolerable. I think the frustrating part is it could be a high class dining experience with great food. The idea is there but the lack of care and passion is not. Cleanliness: is ok, the tables are worn down and with nobody really in the resturant the floor still needed to be vacuumed. There are balloons stuck in the ceiling which through off the esthetic. Decor is nice. Looks upscale and could be an amazing date night hot spot but, the fish tank is empty and needs to be cleaned. Which throws you off when you walk in because everything else looks nice and up scale. Now the thing that matters. My family and I went during happy hour. So the resturant was empty. The server was awesome! The food not so much. If you spend $100+ you should get your money worth. Fried rice- seemed out of a bag. The chicken look like it was warmed up with the rice in boil bag and taste the same. The Chicken And Shrimp lettuce wrap- I would not recommend. Over salted pre made mix that we sent back Spicy Tuna roll- not in pressed. I would rather have a piece of tuna in the roll instead of a puree mix of tuna and something else. Flavor just was not there. Shrimp Tacos- was not thrilled. No real flavor but if you like spicy only its ok. The spicey over took the shrimp and the slaw had no flavor. The Burger for happy hour SPOT ON! came with fried only $6 bucks has seeded Bum great job well worth it. Also the KIDS BENTO Boxes are good. My kids liked it and the orange for the box was decorated nicely. Overall not bad just be cautious of what you order to not be upset about the cost vs quality! If you going out with a family of 5 which is easily $100 I think you should get a certain level of hospitality and quality of food to make it worth your money! Stay Strong and Enjoy Life, Grasshopper

After coming across this restaurant online and noticing its strong ratings, I was genuinely looking forward to giving it a try. Upon arrival, the atmosphere did not disappoint. The ambiance was inviting, well-designed, and comfortable. The service was equally impressive—staff members were attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the meal itself fell far short of expectations. I ordered the surf and turf, anticipating a satisfying combination of steak and lobster. However, the steak was cut so thin that it was reminiscent of something you might expect from a casual diner rather than a restaurant positioning itself as a premium dining experience. The portion lacked the substance and quality typically associated with this classic dish. The lobster tail was even more disappointing. It was noticeably small—so much so that it was difficult to justify it as a true lobster tail portion. The size and presentation did not align with the expectations set by the menu description or the establishment’s reputation. While the atmosphere and service were commendable, the food itself did not meet the standard implied by the reviews or pricing. As they say, everything is bigger in Texas—but unfortunately, that was not reflected on this plate. $260 WASTED!!!! Respectfully, A visitor from California
