    The cure salmon dish. Good, kinda strange.
    Bryan W.

    Good food and great happy hour. My wife and I stopped by during a visit to Denton's Halloween which is super cool, but I digress. The place is real homey and very approachable. We stopped in around 5pm and found they have happy hour which was a nice surprise. We ordered a few items off that menu, but also wanted to try some regular items as well. The tuna and krab cones were really nice and light. Perfect to share over drinks. We always get an order of escolar when we find it. It was nicely cut and scored which made for an excellent chew. The last item to arrive was salmon dish called the cure. It had nice, thick slices of salmon with torched skin over a bed of soba noodles. It was okay and kind of strange. The torch really did a number on the skin. I would have preferred and hot skillet sear since the torch left it bitter and dusty from the ash. We are glad we tried it but wouldn't get it again. The service was great. We never ran out of drinks and had no questions on the progress of our order. We will come back every time we visit Denton.

    Smoked Yellowtail

    Was in town for a conference and used Yelp to scout out some nearby food options. Parking in the area is a bit tricky, but once you manage that, the walk around this little strip is easy and enjoyable. Lots of food and bar options nearby--it definitely has that small college town vibe (because it is one). I grabbed a seat at the bar and was greeted right away. Service was fast and friendly, which I appreciated since I was on a time crunch. I probably wouldn't return just because I'd want to explore other places if I'm ever back in town, but this spot did the job. What I ordered: Veg Out Roll Smoked Yellowtail Belly A mocktail (bartender's creation, since there's no mocktail menu) Food was fresh, well-prepared, and hit the spot. Solid choice if you're in the area.

    Amazing place to snag a seat on a Friday night. Wow is all I can say. The food is amazing and the drinks are top tier. The bartenders are knowledgeable and give good recommendations. Make sure to get the LARGE loaded tots to share because they're addicting.

    Southern Smoke ramen

    I went with a friend on a Friday evening and had a great experience overall! The restaurant was decked out in Halloween decorations which we loved. We had the loco egg rolls which have chorizo, I've never had that combination and loved it! I also got the southern smoked ramen and my friend got the yakisoba. The only thing about my ramen was not impressed with are the eggs, even in the picture, their cook looks a bit off like they either overcooked or had them sitting a while. Another thing was we ordered diet Mexican Coke and was served flat about 3 times until the machine eventually worked. We thankfully had an attentive and great server that noticed they were flat and gave us a warning each time, and to let her know if they were flat. Because of her kindness and transparency it was no big deal, or else we would have been more hesitant to complain about them. I'd definitely come again.

    Fried chicken Bao Buns
    Peaches W.

    This Asian-Tex fusion spot in the heart of the college scene (right between UNT & TWU) delivers big flavor and great vibes. The bao buns are soft, flavorful, and packed with variety, the fried rice hits every comfort-food note, and the cocktails are bold and fun--just the way we like them. Perfect for a casual bite, date night, or hanging with friends. We'll definitely be back!

    Octopus, salmon belly, yellowtail
    Taylor D.

    Favorite sushi spot in Denton. Not one bad thing to order off this menu. Our servers are always super friendly and helpful. You have got to try the salon belly!

    Holly C.

    Did not have "eat some freaking excellent sushi in denton" on my list. I have been well and humbled. We visited my brothers family and he took us here. Very attentive server who helped us choose between all the things. She gave great advice--we got the yellowtail belly for dessert. Lol Fun decor, comfortable, and a great place to spend the evening.

    Omg we love Komodo loco! When I pass by here just being in denton, I can just dream of eating the deviled eggs * drool* you can tell the quality of sushi is great. Brought some cousins from cali here and they were in love! The vibes are cool, it's a bit dark but it's worth it!

    I felt compelled to leave a review after reading a rather ridiculous one. My boyfriend and I are a bit of foodies and love trying new restaurants, rarely coming back to the same restaurant twice. However, Komodo has become one of our regular spots because YALL ITS THAT GOOD! The food is phenomenal, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the vibes are great, and it's clean. Reviews should be based on the quality of food and service, not minuscule details that had no impact on your dining experience. Before publishing something online, we should all think to ourselves, "is this helpful? Is this kind?", if the answer isn't yes to both, then don't post it. The restaurant industry is challenging enough and patrons shouldn't be picking apart irrelevant details and then leaving bad reviews because of it. This is someone's livelihood and that shouldn't be taken lightly. The world would be a lot better of a place if we were all more thoughtful with the words we speak and post. Kyle--we love Komodo and I'm already craving the bluefin crudo again! Can't wait to come back!!

    What was left of the roasted peppers before we finished them off
    Jason J.

    Great little place just off the main roads. It looks a little divey from that outside, but is clean and comfortable on the inside. Our service was excellent and everyone was incredibly friendly. We had the roasted brussels sprouts as well as the roasted peppers for appetizers and both were delicious. I had the southern smoked Ramen with extra spice added. It was excellent, and the spice level was perfect for me. Others had the sushi, which they really enjoyed. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area

    Miso Ramen with pork belly
    Shonda M.

    This place is phenomenal! I was m town for a vid wrench and was not expecting anything super great. Luckily, my coworker suggest we try here and I admit I was blown away! In fact, it was so good I came here two nights in a row. The location is great with plenty of public parking down the street. The vibe is pretty hip and fits the food quite well. Both nights we shared several apps, and I ordered a sushi roll and a bowl of ramen. Everything that everyone had both nights was incredible! And on top of that, prices were great. I would definitely come here again, if ever back in the area.

Did the sashimi check with fatty yellowtail and it melted in my mouth so buttery smooth as it should be! Given that I'm in Japan 5-7x a year I can confirm this is really good sushi. Please don't sleep on it. The establishment is super cute, can host larger groups and the service was great. We went in the evening quite late and was really happy to see that it was open. Many of the other sushi places we go to are closed on Monday', so kudos to Koji for identifying the demand! If you're around don't sleep on this place and let me know what your thoughts!

    We started eating here last summer and were impressed with the food, ambience and service. However,…read morethe last 3 times we have eaten here, since October, the food has declined. I consistently get the chicken katsu. The last 3 times it was overcooked and chewy, the breading too brown, and the breading slid off. This last time we went this week in January, and probably our last, service was awful. The young girl barely greeted us and sort of just told us at the middle of the restaurant where to sit. Then, our party of 3 ordered. As our lunch was delivered, my husband didn't get anything. We thought maybe they were just behind. I finally called her over and asked about his meal. Instead of being helpful, she copped an attitude and immediately pulled out her ticket book and said, "No! He didn't order! He said egg rolls!" I looked at her and said, "I heard him order the bento box" and he said he had. My daughter even heard it. She continued to argue and I just told her never mind, I didn't want to argue with her. There were no helpful solutions from her such as, "I am so sorry I didn't hear you (or most likely understand him), why don't I put the order in for you now?" Nope! So we sat awkwardly eating while my husband just sat there. He went next door at Marco's to order a pizza to take home. We eat out a lot and it seems to us this younger generation need lessons on how to talk to people and take accountability. We were nice to her. But she immediately took offense and didn't take steps to attempt to solve the problem. Lazy! We will not return here as these Japanese sushi restaurants are a dime a dozen now.

I learned so much about sushi but even more I learned more about the food they create. The owner is amazing, kind and above all truly cares for the food he puts out and the customers he serves. I have tried everything on the menu but my favorites are the oven baked rolls like the volcano, golden bridge and lion king roll. You can't go wrong with any of the rolls here. They almost always come with sauce... so if you don't like that... you can always order the sauce on the side instead. You should at least give it a try though because all of their sauces are homemade, fresh and super tasty. My other top recommendations are their vegetarian rolls especially their vegetable tempera roll. I've tried to find another place that comes close to how sushi cafe does their vegetarian rolls, but have never found a close match. I love the decor and vibe of this location as well. You can always hit it up after or before school or going to fry street or the square. I learned to fall in love with sushi here.
