Kona Grill: American & Asian Fusion Cuisine

December 31, 2013 by

Kona Grill offers one of Stamford’s most popular happy hours, featuring half price appetizers and drink specials. In nicer weather the large outdoor patio draws a cocktail drinking crowd – try the hibiscus martini. The bar also shakes up several low-calorie drinks like the cucumber mojito. Regulars love the generous portions and tasteful decor of this national Asian-American fusion grill.  Many come to snack and flat breads with traditional American flavors and are a customer favorite.  If you’re looking for Asian flavors try the sushi rolls, and if you like it spicy, the Picasso roll is their hottest roll with yellow tail, jalapeno, and three hot sauces. For a main dish, try the macadamia nut chicken or the avocado chicken club.  There are plenty of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options as well.

With many Japanese restaurants in Stamford, Fin II stands out for its friendly customer service.   Their lunch special attracts a mid-day crowd.  For $8 you get soup or salad, rice, a California roll, shrimp spring roll and entree of your choice – try the salmon teriyaki, which is always perfectly cooked.  The “movie” box is the dinner sized version and comes with two entree meats.  Fin II’s sushi bar offers standard sushi and maki rolls; the lovely couple roll with shrimp tempura inside and spicy tuna on top is a customer favorite.  If you prefer a simpler meal, order a salad with the house-made ginger dressing and the filet mignon dinner portion, with shitake mushrooms, asparagus and zucchini in a light teriyaki garlic sauce. The full bar shakes up Asian inspired cocktails and offers several sakes at reasonable prices – Fin II’s signature.
