Sushi Date at Kona Grill in Oakbrook - My Highest Self

Sushi Date at Kona Grill in Oakbrook

When you have kids it can be really tough to get an old-fashioned date with your hubby!  Ray and I haven’t been on a “date” in months.  He recently took a week off work for vacation and since both kids are now in school we had a few daytime dates!  We headed to Kona Grill in Oakbrook for one of our outings and had a sushi lunch that was out-of-this-world.

We first enjoyed the Sweet and Spicy Shrimp appetizer:

kona grill dragon roll review

Ray chose the Dragon Roll (crab special roll with eel and eel sauce) which was absolutely delicious.  This is what I will order next time because it was so much more flavorful than what I chose.  He also ordered the octopus and yellow tail sushi.  I liked the yellow tail but did not try the octopus (I’m too squeamish for that one).

Rock Coconut Mojito - Kona GrillI also enjoyed the Rock Coconut Mojito (Bacardi rock coconut rum, pineapple, lime, mint) and could not have been happier.  I will definitely order this again, so yummy!

We both enjoyed Kona Grill in Oakbrook, I had been there once before but it was Ray’s first time.  I love that this location has an open-air front, where you can eat indoors but feel like you are on the patio!  I felt that the prices were very reasonable for fresh sushi and well-made drinks.  Kona Grill has multiple locations in Illinois and Arizona.  I highly recommend it if you have a location near you!

Where did you go on your last “date”?
