more food

my blog is basically turning into

a column on

cuisine, cars, design

and 

stuff I want to buy.

todays review: Kona Grill

 Kona was 

referred to us by some friends

who live in Mesa.

Not knowing at all what to expect

Kyle and I gave it a try while

meeting up with some friends doing

their internships down here in 

Scottsdale.

my meal: Macadamia Nut Chicken

 its was served with white cheddar mashed potatoes and

wok-tossed vegetables, served with a shoyu-cream sauce

and a pineapple-papaya marmalade.

the sauce: amazing

the marmalade: amazing

(I asked for more of both)

we now have dined at Kona three times.

the menu is pretty small but 

they also have a full sushi bar that

adds a lot of variety.

heres some other favorites I have had:

Avocado Egg rolls

The Tuna Tower 

from the sushi bar

Oriental Chicken Salad

chicken: amazing

cabbage: amazing

the atmosphere is great there as well.

they have an outdoor bar and dining area

with sushi happy hour deals

the inside: a modern East meets West

also I love their advertising. 

clever and catchy.

theres definately a youthful vibe at Kona

hip music, gorgeous hostess', and trendy servers
upscale, but not ridiculous price
($26 for dinner and dessert)

the chefs, great as well.

meet Zach and Takeshi 

it really is East meets West with these too.

individually they bring 

expertise from two backgrounds

and together have weaved a menu that blends both

deliciously. 

not only are they in the kitchen tossin up woks

but they are always out in the restaurant mingling 

with the patrons. I love that. alot. 

 

I'm a fan for sure.
