Hands down one of my favorite places in Denton! The atmosphere is super cool and unlike anywhere else in Denton at least and the service is always great too! I’ve tried a lot on their menu and find myself craving their Fun Guys (fried + marinated portobello mushrooms) they are so freaking good. The dragon fire roll is probably my favorite of theirs but you can’t go wrong with any of the sushi rolls and their nigiri/sashimi is some of the freshest I’ve had in north Texas!🍣
Don’t be deceived by the humble exterior, or the casual atmosphere, this restaurant is a gem! With their special “Asian food with a Latin flare”, Komodo Loco offers full flavors that surpass most of their peers.
If you’re starting with an appetizer, you’ll find it difficult to choose just one – and I couldn’t, so we had the Loco Eggrolls and the Dragon Eggs. Both are delicious, and while I enjoyed the Eggrolls, the Eggs have such a great combination of flavors, I could eat a whole tray of them!
The entrees were definitely the stars of the meal, as my family selected Yo’s Poke Tostadas, the Bayou Tower, and a build-your-own Poke Bowl which was gluten-free.
I had to go with a special, which I’m told is soon to be added to the regular menu – a Fried Noodle Bowl topped with your choice of proteins. Again, I couldn’t choose just one, so I selected the Steak and Pork Belly. Both meats were outstanding, but I have to give the winning nod to the steak. It was tender, flavorful, juicy with a rich grilled taste. I couldn’t go back and not get this again!
For dessert, 3 of us chose the Joy Macaron Ice Cream Sando (this of a Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich in size, but the cookie is macaron, and they have four flavors to choose from), a very satisfying finish, and our 4th ordered the Tempura Sopapilla Cheesecake. This is everything it sounds like. It’s New York-Mexican-Asian and the Texas State Fair together on your plate. If you’re a fan of any of those things, this is a must!
Topping the delicious food, the service was excellent. Friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. Overall, a great place for dinner not far from the square in Denton.
Tony was our server and met every box on being the best! I asked for a pretty drink and he delivered! He also wiped our table multiple time which I really appreciated! Little things go a long way! Also super friendly and super nice! We will be back many times!!
Ok, so pleasantly surprised with this spot. We were expecting your average Sushi joint. Let me tell you this is by far, the best meal my husband and I have had in quite a while. He also does not really enjoy craft cocktails and he loved the one he got...can't for the life of me remember the name but it was made with Japanese whiskey.. its a must try...our server was the best. So informative. He was on point and knew what he was talking about with everything he suggested to us. We will be back, as often as possible...I highly recommend you try this place. It will not disappoint. Your palate will thank you for it.
Great place to eat. Gave good vibes and the music was good there. Had a great cocktail and tasty food. No regrets at all. You gotta go try it out!
