About Kona Grill
Kona Grill first opened in 1998 as the reincarnation of Sushi on Shea. Michael McDermott, the owner of the restaurant, decided to create a restaurant that focuses on providing dishes that are more American themed.
Today, the restaurant operates in 23 U.S. states and has over 40 branches. There are currently plans to expand to at least three international locations in the future.
