    Very nice restaurant with an interesting and diverse menu. We had a meatball starter dish that was yummy. My wife had sea bass which she liked as average. I had the coconut shrimp sushi roll which was slightly above average. Service was excellent cocktails were good. We were on our way to a concert so we spent about an hour in the restaurant which was perfect. Overall it was a good experience and perfect if you have other plans to follow but it’s not a restaurant you would rave to you friends about.

    Super service from Jasmine! Food was great, but I should add that the crunchy spicy tuna roll is very inconsistent between visits. Sometimes far too spicy. Sometimes not crunchy. I see that the sushi chef is constantly slammed, so we don’t complain during our visits.

    The server forgot requests. The sushi dishes were good but $24 a roll is not very cool. The miso was meh. The one chicken dish was two tiny and thin “chicken breasts”. The rice that came w the dish was bland. The yellowtail carpaccio was legit. $9 for a root beer for my daughter is beyond ridiculous. $315 bill for 5. That’s $63 per plate. We will not be returning.

    Pleasantly surprised how good this was. Outstanding service by Liz. Very comfortable and not too noisy. Big portions that were very good. Use to mediocre restaurants in Scottsdale, this was one of the best.👍

    We are from CT and after a long day of traveling wanted a bite to eat. A quick search on availability we found Kona. The restaurant was very clean and everyone was very friendly. Our server was excellent (I think his name was John?). Our drinks were delicious as well as our appetizers. Dinner was equally delicious and every thing came out quickly. And whoever was in charge of the music (80’s baby here) it was amazing!

    What a great place. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. He checked on us to see if everything was okay. The ribs were phenomenal. The best we ever had anywhere. The coleslaw was delicious The prawn tempura in a ctrus sauce was really tasty. Great place for lunch. A must visit at Desert Ridge.

    Another fabulous experience! First off, our server, T, was exceptional! She gave us the most attentive service, and was extremely respectful and polite throughout. There is absolutely nothing she could have done more for us; we appreciated her so very much and will ask for her as our server every time we visit. The food was delicious; from the Tuna Tataki and Bama rolls, to the tempura spicy shrimp, lettuce wraps, edamame, and potstickers. Your manager, Marissa Tate (who I mistakenly in my last review put down her incorrect last name) is to be commended. She also made a special trip to our table to ensure everything was to our satisfaction (which it definitely was!) and kept on top of everything. She is an asset to your company and should be commended. Thank you for another wonderful evening! We will return again soon!
