Trendy spot. Best happy hour sushi and cocktails in the city but can be tough to get a table. For night owls, try the reverse happy hour .

Justin Martin

KG sliders are a surprising fun treat. Lets be real, sushi is the star! The Kona Poke is fusion at it’s best while the Picasso hit all senses. Ambiance is great for groups , just get their early!

Chris Davis

Excellent place for happy hour . Good good good variety/authentic and great drinks. Good for a quick sit down or dinner or brunch ! #agooo time

Dawn Michael

Jalapeno yellowtail is thr managers favorite and definitely the best thing on the menu. Get 2!

Abby

Pad Thai two thumbs up. Basil pesto linguine three thumbs up. BEWARE: avocado egg roll appetizer is to die for but they charge $10 per egg roll . It's a nice surprise when you get 4 for forty.

Susan Wellford

A must-do happy hour in KC. Sushi is delicious. Love the lettuce wraps , too. Outdoor seating is a bonus.

Kate Davison

Oriental salad and vegan sushi . Great options for vegans and those who need gluten free .

Kimberly Duncan

If you're looking to mix it up, try the checkerboard roll. If you like spice, try the voodoo roll - the waiter told me it wasn't "that hot" but I learned there's nothing mild about habanero sauce

Chana Kommedal

Firecracker sashimi was amazing, but super spicy ????

Janelle Williams

OrderThe DESERT ... A nice Warm Brownie Topped with a Scoop of Ice Cream ... #Add a Scoop... OFF THE CHAIN:)

Sit by the open window on a nice night. A bit pricey compared to other sushi places.

Decent sushi . Place is always lively and popular amongst young professionals.

Andrew Miller

Awesome Happy Hour , Sake Bombs !! The flat bread pizza is the best

Sheila

Love happy hour , hate the stress of finding a table. Service can be lacking at times. Sushi does the job.

Susan Casserley

Happy hour sushi . Crab crunch roll and Vegas roll !

Mick B

Office drones' idea of a hip happy hour . If Black & Veatch had a love child with Reece & Nichols, the patrons of Kona would be that child.

Sean Kelly

If you like spicy food , and edamame , then the "angry edamame " is the way to go!!!!

Katie Edwards
