Kona Grill - El Paso

Kona Grill El Paso welcomes diners at 8889 Gateway Blvd West, Suite 1740, a vibrant spot just minutes from the bustling Gateway Mall and the University of Texas at El Paso campus. The restaurant opens Monday through Thursday at 11 am and stays lively until midnight, extending to 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays and closing at 11 pm on Sundays, offering flexible dining for both lunch crowds and late‑night revelers. Inside, sleek dark‑wood paneling, dim pendant lighting and an open kitchen create a modern Asian‑American atmosphere where the clink of craft cocktail glasses complements the aroma of grilled steaks and fresh sushi rolls. Signature dishes such as the Kona‑marinated ribeye, miso‑glazed black cod, and the tropical mango coconut cheesecake showcase the brand’s fusion expertise while the menu also features classic burgers, fresh salads and a selection of hand‑rolled sushi including spicy tuna and California rolls. The bar serves inventive cocktails like the “Sunset on the Rio” made with tequila, blood orange and a dash of jalapeño‑infused simple syrup, perfect for sipping on the high‑top bar stools. With a moderate price range of $15‑30 per entrée, families and business groups find the venue both affordable and upscale. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, and the location’s proximity to the El Paso Convention Center makes it a convenient stop after conferences. Reservations can be made online through the Kona Grill website, and the friendly staff, led by a seasoned service team, ensures a seamless experience from the moment guests walk through the glass doors.
