Kona Kitchen - Seattle

I give this place a 4.7. Finally, we made it to this restaurant! When I heard who owned the restaurant, I was sold immediately! First impressions, amazed by the history, the photos of different celebrities that visited this location, and the different art that was given to the restaurant.
The only downfall is the place can use some cleaning.
The table we sat at has a plant next to it, and it was caked in dust.
Other than that, the service was good, and the vibe was chill.
Now the food, damn the food was amazing.
Also, the positions....lol well let's just say, I hope you're hungry.
Good size positions and flavors are to die for. Today, my girl got the Lau Lau plate, I picked the build your own Loco moco, which consisted of fried rice, spam, hamburger patty, and gravy.
Omg, the banana wrapped pork was amazing.
Pork was supper tender and just melts.
The Loco moco was super good.
The fried rice alone was supper good.
For dessert, we got the guava cake and haupia cake.
Omg, again, super good.
The guava cake you can tell the guava spread was made fresh.
The haupia cake had a nice subtle, but yet nice flavor, Overall, we love this place, and plan to visit the other location :)

We ordered the Lau Lau Plate and the build your own Loco Moco.
The Lau Lau pork was moist and delicious.
The Lomi salmon and Mac salad are also delicious.
We ordered the Loco Moco with fried rice, burger patty, spam, egg, and gravy.
The combo was to die for.
Portions were a reasonable size and we ended up with leftovers.
We also ordered a piece of guava cake which was layered to perfection, moist, and had a delightful guava taste, it was not overly sweet.
We also ordered a piece of haupia cake, I am not familiar with this cake version, I am only familiar with the Filipino hopia.
This did not take away from the light and airy vanilla cake and light melt-in-your-mouth coconut frosting.
The servers were attentive and quick.
The entire establishment was busy. The only unfortunate part was the cleanliness and upkeep of the restaurant.
There was a heavy layer of dust on the faux plants hanging over our table, decor, and window coverings, the paneling was breaking that lined the walls, and the carpet and flooring were clearly in need of replacing/repairing/or cleaning, the bathroom (womens), had cobwebs coming from the ceilings and a layer of dust on top of everything.
It's as though only the tables and chairs and counters tops were being regularly cleaned.
For a restaurant this busy, it's just unfortunate to see it in this state.
I did not post photos as I didn't want to take away from the delicious food.
This did cause a reduction in stars.

The food was pretty unique and good but not too impressive, the service people were nice and the atmosphere is really great.
If you’re looking for a type of comfort food that’s relatively quick then you might want to try eating here.
