Surf and Turf fried rice
Jeanette D.

I met up with friends for a quick dinner at Komodo. We had already been to happy hour and gotten drinks and an appetizer so we really just wanted something tasty to eat. The service was really good. Our server was very attentive and consistently checked up on us to make sure we were ok and answer any questions. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice. It a great spot for a romantic dinner, the bar area is nice to meet other singles, and the restaurant is nicely decorated. I decided to go with the surf and turf fried rice. If fact, most of my table got the same dish. I'm glad I got that dish. I had so much lobster. My friends were shocked and all said I had a lot of lobster. The dish was well seasoned, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I would recommend it and come back for that dish again. Overall a great experience. I may try to fried chicken next time.

Me and my girls had the a girls' night here. Everything -- and I mean EVERYTHING -- was delicious. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The bathrooms are a bit of a journey to get to, but they're extremely well kept, so the walk isn't too bad. After around 10pm (I think?) there's an upstairs lounge with a bar, a DJ, and it's a good spot if you want to dance and get a little club vibe in. I'll most definitely be back and ordering half the menu.

Crispy King Crab Dumplings

I saw a lot of mixed reviews for this place so we were a little hesitant to go. After dining there, I get why the divide. I think it really depends on what you are looking in your dining experience. Here's my take: Ambiance and Service: 5/5 One of the coolest Asian restaurants that I've been to. The vibe is awesome and the decor is super cool. The music is upbeat and amazing. I wouldn't say it's like a club but pretty close. Our server (Dylan) was super cool and helpful with navigating the menu. Food: 4/5 Truffle Honey Salmon: 5/5 This was our fav dish. The flavor is really incredible and the sashimi is really high grade. We ordered a 2nd set of this. Surf and Turf Maki: 4.5/5 This is NOT your typical maki dish. The combo of the seared waygu beef on the top and the shrimp tempura in the middle was excellent. Crispy King Crab Dumplings: 4.5/5 Super unique, crispy and tasty. One of the most creative dishes I've ever had Surf and Turf Fried Rice: 1/5 Super salty. We sent this back Crab Lo Mein: 2/5 Salty and lacked character Overall we enjoyed our experience but considering the price, I would give it 3.5/5.

Talk about the perfect spot- girls' night, date night, solo date... you name it--Komodo fits the bill. I went on a Friday evening for dinner with a few girlfriends, and we will absolutely be back. First, the vibe and decor: it truly has a grown, upscale feel. The lighting is moody, stylish, and there are plenty of seating options throughout the space. The bar is a great size and adds to the lively atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel like you're in for a fun night out. The staff was amazing. Every single person who stopped by our table was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They explained dishes, checked in at the right moments, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Peter and Desiree were our servers for the evening, and they didn't miss a detail. Both had great personalities and struck the perfect balance of being attentive without hovering. They seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask, and their timing throughout the meal was spot on. We had the chance to try quite a few menu items, and nothing disappointed. With such a large menu, there's still so much we want to come back and try- and based on what we had, I'm confident we will be in for a treat again! After dinner (and a fantastic dessert), we headed upstairs to check out the lounge. It was jamming up there! We didn't stay long, but the energy was great, everyone seemed to be having a good time, and the layout upstairs is just as nice as the dining area. Overall, Komodo is a great spot for a night out. Great vibe, excellent service, and a menu that makes you want to come back again and again. I'll grab better (and more) pictures next visit. Enjoyed the company & staff so much that I didn't get photos of everything

Me with an AI twist
Joy O.

If you're asking how a restaurant gets a perfect score from me? Baby... they have to deliver in every single category. And Komodo absolutely did that. First of all, the location? 10/10. Walking distance from my hotel and right by the nightlife -- which I definitely enjoyed after dinner. We love a seamless, soft-life evening. Now let's get into the vibes. The decor is giving luxe, sultry, rich. Deep red tones, Asian-inspired accents, dramatic lighting... it's sexy and elevated. Perfect for date night, birthdays, or Valentine's Day (which is TODAY, by the way). Very much "I look expensive and I know it." The service? Top tier. The hostess understood the assignment -- okay? Taking my pictures in front of that mural, being a whole co-star in my TikTok moment. And my waiter? Treated me like the princess that I am. Patient, attentive, giving recommendations, laughing with me, and even doing a small (but huge) favor at the end of the night. That kind of energy matters. Now let's talk about the food because whew... sushi, steak, fried rice, wine, cheesecake -- some of the BEST I've ever tasted. And if you know me, I've dined at a lot of beautiful establishments. I don't throw "best ever" around lightly. Komodo in Dallas left a forever stamp in my mind. Luxe. Delicious. Memorable. I will always recommend it. Period.

Had a fantastic dinner at Komodo Dallas with our wives and it was an all-around great experience. The lychee martinis were a huge hit with the ladies--refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The old fashioneds for the guys were equally impressive, well-crafted and full of flavor. The food really shines here, especially the variety of shareable selections. Everything we tried was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, making it easy (and fun) to sample multiple dishes as a group. Great atmosphere, excellent drinks, and standout food--Komodo is a perfect spot for a night out or special occasion.

This place is definitely a trendy spot for the ladies but despite being a trendy place they don't flop on the quality of food like some of those other restaurants who focus on ambiance and not quality. The spicy edamame were some of the best dressed edamame I've had. The tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection served with lychee sauce on the side that adds a nice balance to the tender steak. 3 of us shared the steak and it was plenty for 3. The pork ribs were sticky sweet with a caramelized glaze but fell off the bone easily. The night club upstairs is an ok space. As someone who is only 33, I still felt like I was one of the few people above 25 in the space. But it's a good space to dance off a little of the food before going to another spot like Green Elephant. Price transparency Our bill was $400 for 3 Including a $150 tomahawk steak 2 appetizers, 2 shareable sides, 1 shareable dessert, and a couple shots.

Duck at the entrance
Walker C.

Komodo Dallas is an upscale Asian fusion restaurant that also doubles as a club/lounge. I recently visited during Dallas Restaurant Week. The interior is chic and gives off strong zen vibes. Service was attentive--our waiter offered good recommendations. We provided our order for all three courses up front, all of which were brought to us at just the right time. For starters, I had the Wagyu steak tacos served in wonton shells--easily my favorite course of the evening. They were very tasty, though I wish there were more than two per order. I also tried the shrimp spring rolls, which came four to an order. Good for sharing, but the filling-to-fried ratio felt a bit off. For my entrée, I had the duck lo mein. The duck itself was flavorful and not overly gamey, but the citrus mixed into the lo mein created an unusual flavor combination that I'm not entirely sold on. Dessert featured yuzu dumplings and mochi. They are fairly small in size making them good to satisfy a sweet tooth but make sure you order more than one if you plan on sharing. My favorite was the yuzu dumpling--it had a soft, cold exterior with a ganache-like interior. Not what I expected, but still delicious. Overall, Komodo Dallas offers a stylish setting and some standout dishes, but certain flavor combinations and the price point left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.

Surf and turf maki
Tommy C.

I hadn't come to this restaurant since I've heard mixed reviews about this place. We came for restaurant week just to give them a try. Ordered wagyu tacos and the seafood and turf maki rolls for our apps. Only one appitzer showed up. I had to chase down service half the time. As I did with not receiving my appetizer. The waiter finally came when I waived him down and he said he would check on it. Then came out to tell me it's on its way. Well another 5 minutes pass and my dinner is served. My dinner was the Korean fried chicken and my date's was the daring king pao chicken. Both were pretty flavorful but my chicken was on the wrong side of being fully cooked. And with her kung pao chicken, I've never been served that dish without rice. Weird stuff right?. I did finally receive my appetizer halfway through eating my entree. It was not bad but it tasted like regret for coming here. The desserts were the mochi which was ok and raspberry dumplings which was excellent. Definitely not coming back though. I always feel the whole point in doing restaurant week is to bring in customers that normally wouldn't come to your establishment and try to wow them so you will have a new client. These guys served me rawish chicken and their service was so blah. These guys served 2 stars was for the waiter just trying at the end to save things.

Complementary cucumber salad

Food was amazing! Went for my husbands birthday. Loved the spicy edamame! And the milk bread.

Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. Ambiance was REALLY nice. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food & cocktails. I ordered the surf & turf fried rice, which was delicious. However, we all felt food was overpriced for the portion size. Service was AMAZING! They were really nice, attentive, & helpful with drink & food suggestions. Disappointing thing was when one of our friends was calling to plan, she asked about bringing a cake, which they said was fine. They would keep it refrigerated & bring it out for us to sing happy birthday. However, the night of dinner after we sang, we weren't allowed to cut and serve the cake. This was NEVER mentioned to my friend when she was inquiring about the space & bringing cake. There is valet parking available or you can park in a nearby parking garage.

My boyfriend took me to Komodo Dallas for my pre-birthday dinner, and overall we had a great time! It's definitely a vibe -- the ambiance is very grown and sexy. It was a Saturday night, so it was pretty loud and lively, but not so dark that you couldn't see the menu (thankfully!). Our reservation was for 9:30 PM, and we were seated around 9:44 PM -- mild side-eye for the wait, but honestly it wasn't a big deal since we hung out at the bar and enjoyed the energy. Our server was really nice and made sure we were taken care of. I ordered the Ginger Passion Fruit Mule, which was absolutely delicious! For food, we shared the shrimp spring roll, crispy shrimp, king crab har gow, black pepper beef, and spicy tuna maki (I think). Everything was good, but to be honest, nothing was particularly memorable. I love Asian cuisine, so I was a little underwhelmed, especially considering the price point. Komodo is definitely more about the vibes and scene than a standout culinary experience -- and that's okay if you know what you're coming for. I left still a little hungry and didn't feel tempted to order more, which says a lot for me. All in all, it's a fun spot for a date night, a group birthday dinner, or a girls' night out if you're looking for good drinks and a beautiful setting. Personally, I'm glad I went, but I'm not sure if I'd rush to go back -- I want the vibes and the food to hit equally for the full experience.

Food was exceptional. Honestly very very good. Playing was beautiful and flavorful was fantastic. To start I got the cucumber salad, which was refreshing and delicious. Followed by the Thai shrimp which was Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I got the brazino with potatoes. This dish was very so flavorful, fish was fresh, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Potatoes were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I appreciated the food runner describing the dish when he dropped it off at the table, something a lot of places has slipped on, and it makes a huge difference in understanding the components of the dish upon arrival. My waitress was very welcoming and frequently checked in on me to make sure I was enjoying everything and didn't need anything. She was very prompt and timely with any request and thoughtful. Ambiance was fun and energetic making the experience more enjoyable. 10/10

Is there a bottle service menu for the social club? I want to have a section for my birthday but I'm not sure what bottles are available for what the prices are. I called to the number online and they didn't have any information on anything.

Don't they have the Sunday brunch? Unlimited sushi and pastry? I saw on IG.?

Yes! Their Sunday brunch is $72 and comes with the unlimited buffet and a full entree. Check out my review or you can view it @itslegacylee on IG!

Is there happy hour?

No, there is no happy hour at this restaurant. They are only open for dinner service from 5 PM -11 PM. They do have a nightlife but it's incredibly expensive to attend and not worth the money.

He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

We checked in with the host and were quoted a 30-minute wait, which ultimately turned into 45 minutes. That said, once we were seated, the food came out pretty quickly. The Fried Brie is always a 10/10! The blueberry compote pairs beautifully with the brie, and I love that it's served with sliced baguette on the side. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe with added shrimp, while my husband went with the Bowen Cheeseburger. Unfortunately, the shrimp was extremely salty. I love a well-seasoned dish, but there's a difference between flavorful and overly salty. The seasoning completely overpowered the shrimp, so I ended up picking it off and enjoying the pasta on its own. The Bowen Cheeseburger was excellent, as always. Just keep in mind that you can't request it medium-rare since it's a smashburger. For dessert, I ordered a slice of cheesecake, which comes with the same blueberry compote served with the Fried Brie. It was delicious and earned a solid 9/10 from me! Overall, the food was great, as usual. Aside from the overly salty shrimp and the longer-than-quoted wait, we enjoyed our visit. I'd absolutely come back, especially for that Fried Brie!
