Kona Grill - Eden Prairie

Mady is awesome... Almost as good as the eel sauce! She looked out for my sis who has celiac and helped her enjoy an amazing meal. All day happy hour makes me happy!

While visiting Minneapolis for my first time with my family, we arrived at Spark by Hilton down the street and hit this place for dinner. It was a Monday and they had all day happy hour food and drinks. Thank goodness cause their prices were a little steep in my opinion ($21 for a sushi roll?). I got a spicy tune roll and shrimp tempura. My gluten free wife got the macadamia chicken. Her's first, there was no where it said this was a breaded chicken, and therefor not GF. We sent that back and she got Lettuce Wraps instead, which she did enjoy. My turn, the food tasted good, was very surprised they used canned tuna rather then a piece of fish. I have seen that before but only from cheap sushi on conveyor belt kind of places. Also, they chopped the shrimp up into small pieces rather then a tempura battered shrimp, but that isn't a big deal. I guess I expected more from a nice restaurant in a town that is known for fishing the river and lakes in the area. But the real reason I am writing this review is the food poisoning. While my daughters and wife explored the Mall of America, I was in bed. It began in the wee hours of the night. Now my girls have never heard me get sick, and honestly I don't think I have since my college years and that was self inflicted. This was loud explosive vomiting. I have never been poisoned by a restaurant before. I was so ill. I spent the night on a bathroom floor. My girls had a good day the next day while I couldn't keep water down. On a bright note, I didn't have to share in the driving home to Denver the next day. My girls were happy cause the didn't have Dad saying no to all the stuff they wanted to buy at the Mall of America. And we stopped in Omaha for an extra day of vacation cause it was too long of a drive for just one person to make. One less PTO day for both of us. The cost of going to this restaurant was huge for my family. I highly recommend going anywhere else! ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!
