The Avocado salad is to die for. At $9 it's a bargain! Food for 8 was ordered and ready. All correct. Excellent!

Went for the hibachi grill for a birthday get together. Food was great. Service was slow but was very busy. Prices I'd say a bit high but a place I'd try again. Parking was slim pickings.

We ate at Kon Asian Bistro Feb. 21, 2024 (our second time here in a couple years) and had a great meal and drinks!We got a drink at the bar while waiting for our hibachi table, both drink very good! We got to our seats, placed drink orders, then our app order, then our meal order. Our Drinks came quickly, the salad came out but we waited for the soup. Our apps (sushi) came out, both of which were so good! We had the special and it was one of the best sushi dishes I've ever had! Our hibachi cook came and started cooking and then we got our soup. Not a huge deal, just seemed like we had a slow waitress. The other side of our table sat after us and got all their food first. Still, not a big deal. We had a great hibachi chef cook for us. The food was all delicious! We ordered dessert and got our check. again, much later then the other side of the table (with a different waitress).We noticed when our kids (9 & 10) got their meat for their meals they seemed to get rather large portions, so at the end we asked if they got kids size or adult. When we looked at the bill, the price for our kids seemed high so we asked our waitress and she told us unless we specify they want a kids size portion they automatically give them adult size. We questioned why they did that, and in the rudest tone she said "We do not assume the age of your child". So I said "You just called them a child, so you know they ARE in fact, a child, so again why do you assume they want an adult size?" She had another rude remark (more her tone and attitude now that we had an issue) so my husband handed her a credit card and paid the bill. We did ask to speak to the manager. The manager was more then friendly and apologized for her tone. She did explain that she was very new but the attitude was uncalled for. I double checked with the manager about if they automatically give children an adult meal and she said they do, unless we specifically ask for a child meal. We said we had no issue paying for the meal, we were given the meal we paid for but thought it was a little confusing that when a child orders they need to specifically order a child meal. The manager also said they ask the waiters to repeat back and specify we want adult for a child, which the waitress did not do. We were very happy with the managers response and time she took to talk to us. We did make sure the hibachi chef was getting his tip/pay regardless of what we tipped our waitress. He gets a cut from her bill (which is 10% of the bill, he gets. Not part of the tip). The manager also gave us a $25 gift card, which we did not need or expect. We just wanted to make it known how the waitress treated us.The meal was delicious as usual and we will go back. Just make sure we specify "Kids Meal" for our children in the future!Kid-friendliness: Make sure you specify if you want your child to have a child meal, they do automatically assume you are ordering adult size.

We visit Kon every Friday night! We had some friends come with us this weekend so our normal routine was switched up a little. We have the same server quite often and she's fantastic! I wish I knew her name. She knows my boyfriend and I's order by heart.

This used to be our favorite place for hibachi. After a 3 year hiatus, we brought friends who have never been to hibachi before. We were immediately sat and drinks poured. Apps and dinner order were placed together. Our salads and soup were brought out before our apps arrived. The chef came out- for a crowd of 8, he was extremely boring. We've had such great chefs in the past. This seemed forced and quick. Not much interaction except what he "had" to do. The food was served and the portion sizes are about half what you used to get. My husband and I were bummed. Flavoring.. just okay. I guess not all good things always last.
