This place was pretty good! I came with a girlfriend just for drinks, so take my review with a grain of salt if you plan to dine-in for a meal. The ambiance isn't really cute or charming, which is surprising given the area. I think they could make a lot of improvements in terms of the way the restaurant is decorated. I got a cocktail with cucumber and lime flavors, and I enjoyed it, though the huge 4 chucks of cucumber around the rim was a little odd and made it difficult to drink. My friend got their twist on a cosmo, and it was really great. It had a lychee-like flavor that really complemented the cocktail. The service was just standard. They seemed disappointed when we said we were only getting drinks even though it was past 9pm. Overall, I would be open to returning for dinner, but it wasn't a stand-out experience!

Spicy tuna Roll

Went on a Sunday evening around 7:30 and it was a bit slow. The staff told us we had just missed the rush. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable, helping to narrow down the wide sushi selection. It's a small restaurant, but we were able to be sat by the window, and it was a lovely way to close out the weekend!

There are much better ones to be had. Strong flavor and not the good way.

I really wanted to love this place. It's within walking distance from my place and I do love some sushi. The rolls here are not bad but everything else is. The sodium content is quite high on a lot of things too. Service here needs to be chased down at times. What saved them somewhat is the rainbow roll was tasty and the unagi (my favorite sushi) was soft and delicate.

Great spot on Knox for affordable sushi, great sized portion, a full bar, and delicious sake. The sushi roll specials are always my go to with an appetizer of edamame and house salad:) great service, get a reservation, also has a nice little patio on the street! Recommend: Fire roll for spicy tuna lovers, white dragon roll for yellowtail lovers, & katana 101 roll for salmon lovers

Dropped in for lunch yesterday. Was on my own so I opted to sit at the bar. Staff was very attentive. My water and iced tea glass was always full without me having to ask. I ordered the bento box with an added California roll. Everything was delicious.

really good lunch today. No-chee took great care of us. BTW, I don't think that's how she spells her name, but that is the way it's pronounced. Anyway, she's a great server, even though we haven't been in in a couple of months she remembers who I am and she knows what wine I like. Husband had BilGogi Bento box and I had a sunny roll. Both were excellent.

This was delicious! I got one roll and it was plenty of food for me. The ambiance was perfect for a chilly day and I would definitely go again.

Avocado eggroll

Stopped by here to grab a quick snack. We got the avocado egg rolls which were very tasty with the sauce it came with. Also tried the yakisoba noodles which were also flavorful. Overall kind of pricey and decent food. It's a good lunch spot for sure.

I was very excited going into my experience at Little Katana and I am sad to say it was a bit of a let down. Overall our server was great, he gave great recommendations and we were there for a birthday so he made sure it was a special occasion for the group. Our choice of Little Katana was a pretty spontaneous decision and they were able to seat us fairly quickly which was greatly appreciated. The ambiance is as you would expect as you walk past Little Katana on Knox. Nothing too special but nothing bad either. My main issue was with the food and drinks. The food itself was delish but the portion sizes were quite disappointing. My group of three ordered an appetizer to share and 3 separate entrees and we still walked out pretty hungry. In addition, we also ordered drinks and for the price they did not taste well made at all. Our group is usually really not picky with drinks but no one who ordered even got halfway through.

I ordered sushi and a margarita. The sushi was delicious and the margarita was really good. The margarita was mixed very well it was perfect in taste. The service was awesome she was very attentive. Will definitely be back !

Katana 101 Roll

Came here for the first time during lunch and was recommended the seafood stone bowl, because it was the best thing. I didn't think twice I ordered it and never looked back since. The seafood stone bowl is so good, the best part is the crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl. They mix it right in front of you, which is a nice touch, it's so good. The little katana roll is also my favorite, I actually order both when I go. It's a lot of food but I can handle it. Ha. I highly recommend this place and tell them I sent you because they know me . The ambience and service is always great. I've never had a problem.

We had an enjoyable dinner. I went to pay the tab and told our server, Stephen, to add 20% to the tab. Before ever seeing the tab. This was a $126 tip for a meal for 9. $800 bill. As I was paying the tab, Stephen said If I wanted to tip more, he would appreciate it. Stephen turned a great evening and meal into a 2 star review. We will not be back. Thanks Stephen, I would love to hear what you manager things of this BS, but I will not be back to find out.

I'm going to post a review and it says this place is permanently closed?? I ate here so recently!…read moreNot sure this is correct. We went for brunch, which I will admit is overpriced. $75pp before drinks? Wow. Definitely go hungry. Were we mad at it though? Definitely not. There was so much to try, I loved the sushi bar, the kids loved the dessert bar, especially the chocolate fountain. The location is nice and upscale and it's a nice place to go celebrate something. I hope it's not actually closed!

Went last night to celebrate my birthday. I've always wanted to go to Komodo ever since I moved to…read moreTexas which was 4 years ago. It was my very first time going to Komodo and the first time experience was not the greatest. Before I go into my review, I did enjoy the ambiance, decor and food. The food was actually really good and the portions were decent. I ordered the wagyu beef dumplings and garlic noodles for starters. I initially chose the Peking duck and was super excited to try it. This is where it started to downhill... As we were ordering starters and drinks, the drinks came out fairly quick and the starters did take about 15-20 minutes which I understand it was a Saturday night. After most of the appetizers came out, we decided to order our entrees because we noticed how long the appetizers took. About hour and some time goes by, the waiter comes back to tell me they just ran out of Peking duck. Which was disappointing so I quickly ordered the Korean fried chicken. The timing with how they ran out the entrees was a whole mess. There were two food runners that were confused with the food orders. 1 of 8 of my friends got their food way before all of us, we had waited an additional 15 minutes before 2 more entrees came out. Oh! My second appetizer (garlic noodles) still haven't come out yet and some of my friends had their entrees....My Korean fried chicken came out but it was fairly quickly so I'm not sure they just threw it in real quick for an apology of taking so long. Two of the breasts we're hard and tough to cut. So then we waited and waited for my very last friend to get her Lo mein...it was an extra 45 minutes until she was able to get her food!!!!! Unacceptable. I was so irritated about that and just ruined the mood. We were all done eating our food by then. We were already frustrated and ready to go at that point, but as soon as she got her food, the veggies were undercooked and it was an overall upsetting situation. I wish I had a better outcome and better celebration for my birthday. I would only recommend this place if you have nothing to do..because you will be waiting for your food for a long time. I suggest to eat before you go and by the time you digest, your food will be ready

Dinner at Musume was absolutely delicious. It had been a long time since I'd eaten sushi this…read morememorable. The standout was the Black Cod Misosuka, marinated for 72 hours in sweet miso. It was incredibly tender, rich, and flavorful--easily the most memorable dish of the evening. We also shared the Sashimi Lovers Platter, and every piece was exceptionally fresh, delicate, and so tender it practically melted in my mouth. We finished with the Wrath Roll, which combines salmon, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, cucumber, sesame seeds, kizami wasabi, and smoked soy. It had a great balance of flavors and textures--the richness of the fish and avocado, the freshness of the cucumber, and just enough wasabi and smoked soy to give it a distinctive finish without overpowering the fish. The restaurant is beautifully appointed, upscale, and very comfortable. Jared, our waiter, was helpful throughout the evening and made an already wonderful experience even better. From the food and service to the atmosphere, everything was exceptional. I honestly think Musume may be the best sushi restaurant in the Metroplex--and if there is a better one, I want to know about it so I can try it next. This was unquestionably a five-star experience and one of the best sushi meals I've had in a very long time.

The best part of this experience was the special dipping sauce they use instead of the just soy…read moresauce for sushi. Everything else however was not up to expectations. Mainly the sashimis were Luke warm and the rice for each nigiri/roll felt much lower quality for a higher end restaurant such as this. This is definitely personal preference but felt it needed to be shared. Overall however we had a phenomenal experience. Joon did a great job making us feel welcomed and helped us understand the menu.

I was very excited to try this Malaysian place. They actually do a Thai fusion with it, but it's…read morereally leans more to Malaysian flavors. Their tea is amazing. You can tell they brew it and it doesn't come from a syrup. When I sat down, I was instantly greeted, and there were like four different people serving my table, I think that they all work as a team to make sure everything is covered. The service was just amazing. Restaurant is beautiful, the booths were , small and intimate and you feeling that you in place with privacy and yet part of the group ....kind of interesting how they've done that. But the food! The food was outstanding, first they gave me a complementary appetizer of Jasmine sticky rice with this eggplant chutney, that was very tasty, a teeny bit spicy, but really good depth with flavor. Then my beef Samosas arrived. There were four, wrapped in like a triangle rapper, smaller than the Indian version of the same, and the flavor was very tasty, and corn and small chopped potatoes, yum! The two chutneys that came with it one was a cool cucumber, and the other was this sweet and spicy plum sauce. They made samosas!!! They could be soft and cool, or they could be delicious and spicy, depending on chutney you had them with and you had a third option.... There was a bed of pickled radish and carrot that really sit off the samosas as well and we're just delicious on their own. I devoured the entire thing. Then get the entrée. I had drunken noodles and I added the shredded pork... It was devastatingly tasty!!! the noodles were obviously done it a wok that's been seasoned to perfection. The wide noodles picked up all that deliciousness from the wok and then combined with the pork... heaven ! They had large pieces of bell pepper and tomatoes. very fresh onions... Just deliciousness. I was too full this time to get dessert, but I'm definitely coming back and I will definitely try it next time

I really want to give the food a 5/5, but if I'm comparing it to a lot of the Thai places I've been…read moreto in Houston, I have to fairly rate them 4/5. There's just been truly so many outstanding experiences I've had in Houston. Regardless, the food was very good and it was authentic, we did get dishes similar to what we got at Street to Kitchen in Houston, which is the most authentic Thai we've had. Food: I forgot to take pictures of two other dishes we ordered, the Thai chicken, wings, and the drunken noodles. But let me start with the complementary sticky rice. I've actually never had a complementary "starter" at a Thai restaurant, so they stood out, and it was a good meal prepper. The dip is an eggplant type of dip so it's not peanut sauce based. It was really good. The best dish was the crab dip with the shrimp chips, the dip was curried and balanced well with the crab. The chicken wings weren't as crispy as we're used to, and there were more on the saucy side, but it was a solid 4/5 dish. The drunken noodles were good and I feel like they had a great mix of veggies, beef, and noodles in the dish, so it wasn't so carb heavy. But we've definitely had better flavor drunken noodles before. Lastly, the mango sticky rice presentation was unlike anything I've seen before, and I loved it. Do I prefer the traditional sliced mango over a bit of rice? Perhaps. But I did enjoy tasting the mango and the condensed milk and a sticky rice together inside the coconut for a change. Service: we went during dinnertime on a Saturday night, and I was so impressed with the level of service we had. Because don't get me wrong, they were busy, but the food came out so fast & we had multiple servers filling up our water and ensuring we're doing okay. We were literally out of there in about an hour, but it wasn't because they were pushing us out, it was truly because everything was so quick. And I loved that strategy they used where we didn't have just one server assigned to us, which is probably why they are thriving here in Dallas. Overall, if you're craving Thai, I would recommend coming here.
