About

About Kona Grill

Kona Grill opened its first restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1998 with a vision that was genuinely novel at the time: an upscale-casual dining room that put handcrafted American entrées side by side with a full-service sushi bar. The name nods to the Kona coast of Hawaiʻi, and that Pacific-Rim spirit runs through the menu — macadamia nuts show up in chicken dishes, shoyu cream sauces accompany steaks, and the bar stocks an extensive selection of premium sake alongside its craft cocktail program.

The chain grew steadily through the 2000s and is today known in equal measure for its globally inspired all-day menu and one of the most celebrated happy hours in upscale casual dining. Happy hour pricing — $3 edamame, $6 sushi rolls, $6 well margaritas — draws a devoted afternoon crowd at most of its roughly 20 U.S. locations. The kitchen takes equal pride in its tableside fire-finished specialties, including the signature Fire Dragon Roll and steaks finished with flavored butters at the table.

Kona Grill locations are concentrated in suburban lifestyle centers and upscale mixed-use developments across markets including Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and the Midwest. The brand is owned by MTY Food Group and continues to refine its seasonal menus, rotating limited-time summer and brunch offerings alongside its core all-day menu.
