    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.

    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!

    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.

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

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

    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

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

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

    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.

    I wonder if the fish in the aquariums behind the sushi bar have any idea about what's happening right in front of them?

    Our server was nice but accolades stop there for me. The wait was very long even though we had reservations. The food was less than stellar.
