    Wow is all I can say. We came for the Ramen (Midwest Shoyu and Akahoshi Miso), stayed for the Chashu rice - 2 orders it was amazing. It was absolutely phenomenal food, quick service. Watched the Ramen Lord in action and he even presented our Ramen at the counter! 10/10, eagerly looking forward to our next experience there.

    We went to Kona Grill for lunch. My husband and I were in the mood for sushi. We both had the sushi/salad combination, which was a fantastic value. The Asian salad had the right amount of crunch and flavor. The crunchy spicy tuna roll and nigiri were delicious. Tan, our server, was wonderful and patient. We had a coupon/gift card and he took care of everything. Bought gift cards because there was a superb deal if you buy $100, you get $50 bonus. Can’t wait to go back for Happy Hour or brunch .
