I have eaten at enough sushi restaurants to know the formula…read more Step 1: Install bamboo. Step 2: Add a dragon. Step 3: Play mysterious flute music. Step 4: Name every roll after either a volcano, a ninja, or an apocalypse. Komodo Loco apparently looked at that formula and said, "Nah." This place has actual character. The restaurant is dark and cool without feeling like you're being interrogated. There are cozy little nooks everywhere, and somehow it manages to feel both laid-back and upscale. Like if a speakeasy and a sushi restaurant had a child who grew up with excellent taste. Then the food arrived. Look, I've had plenty of sushi. I've had good sushi. I've had "my friend won't stop talking about this sushi" sushi. Komodo Loco belongs in the last category. The fish was incredibly fresh, but what really stood out was that the rolls didn't all taste like slight variations of spicy mayo negotiating with cream cheese. The flavors were genuinely original. We ordered the Crispy Rice Bites, the T-Dub Roll, and the Horacio Roll based on our server's recommendations. The Crispy Rice Bites were so good I briefly considered ordering a second round before I had finished the first. The T-Dub Roll disappeared from the plate so quickly that I suspect it may have violated several laws of physics. The Horacio Roll was one of those dishes that makes you stop talking mid-sentence and stare into the middle distance while reconsidering every life choice that led you to not order two of them. Which brings me to our server: Breann. Or Breanna. I apologize for not knowing which one. In my defense, I was busy entering a committed relationship with sushi. My daughter is moving to Denton, and since we don't live here, we asked what we should order. Breann/Breanna immediately became the Gandalf of menu navigation. There was no hesitation. No "everything is good." No vague server diplomacy. Just confident recommendations that absolutely delivered. She was kind, funny, helpful, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. More importantly, she made my daughter feel at home in a city she's about to call home. As a dad, that meant a lot. I also loved how Komodo Loco celebrated Pride Month. Not because restaurants have to weigh in on everything, but because the atmosphere simply communicated: "Hey, you're welcome here." And honestly, that's one of the best things a restaurant can do. Good food fills your stomach. A welcoming place fills the room. Komodo Loco managed to do both. So yes, I'll be back every time I'm in Denton. My daughter thinks she's moving here for school. I think she's moving here so I'll have an excuse to eat at Komodo Loco several times a year. One of us is probably right.

Food was great, but the service was slower than expected. My husband and I came with two…read morefriends--we were seated right away and ordered drinks quickly. It wasn't very busy at the time, but our drinks still took about ten minutes to arrive. We started with potstickers, which were delicious, and our little one's avocado came out quickly, which we appreciated. However, after placing our order, we noticed several tables seated after us receiving their food before we did. At one point, we were concerned our order may have been overlooked. When the food finally arrived, it was very good--no complaints there--but the wait was a bit disappointing, especially since most of what we ordered were appetizers. Overall, we'd still come back, just hoping for a smoother experience next time.

I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and was thrown off when it arrived. It was on the yellow side which lead me to believe it had "curry". It didn't and in fact was absolutely delicious. We also had the drunken noodles, aka Pad Kee Mow and like the pad Thai was delicious. Major home runs. Service was sweet and pleasant. They even offer "help yourself" to free soup..hot and sour today and it was soooo good. A little gem of a spot right here in Decatur. We will be back.

I've also indulged in their macaron sandwiches that they have which, while pricy, are so worth it! The strawberry cheesecake is gluten free and so delicious. Definitely give it a try if you visit.

So, we went around 230/3 in the afternoon on Saturday. The person working was friendly enough. I am not sure if that time of the day is considered dinner menu or lunch menu, but we were charged dinner menu prices which is fine enough except we received day old rice that was reheated and stale. The vegetables were good and the meat was tender. The salad dressing tasted like straight up mayonnaise. I want to go back and give them another try before I just drive to Weatherford in the future because I really hate that I got old stale fried rice. If I hadn't had that I think the meal would have been worth dinner menu prices.

The menu is small with a section for BBQ, burgers, and sides for this then the next page is Asian (Philippines food) with sides for those dishes. I had the baby back rib plate with 4 bone of ribs, toast, and my sides were Pancit (noodle dish) and potato salad. The ribs were perfection; soft with a light pull off the bone, nice level of smoke, flavor was excellent. Sauce in the table was good but the ribs did not need and flavoring as is. They say the potato salad is one of their specialities and they weren't exaggerating. Not a thing in this order wasn't great. My Wife had the smoked cheeseburger. It was a huge burger with nicely seasoned meat, super fresh bun, and crispy fresh veg made this one of my favorite burgers of all time. Fries were okay, nothing special about them. The star of the show though was the Lumpia. For those of you that don't know what it is think of fried spring rolls. Veg and pork filling then CRISPY fried to perfection. Four in an order and they also have loaded lumpia and brisket lumpia. Wow, you can't get this anywhere in Wise County.

For an appetizer, I ordered the Soup Dumplings that were excellent! Juicy and tasty! For my entree, I ordered the Pan-fried Sliced Noodle with Beef... OMG! I mean there was a chef actually making the fresh sliced noodles BY HAND in the open kitchen. The Sliced Noodles come with your choice of protein, plus eggs, Chinese cabbage, onion, bean sprouts, celery, carrots, and scallions. I assume this is their signature dish... a steal at $14.99! Run do not wok (pun intended) to the Fun Noodle Bar! I cannot wait to eat there again...

However, coming back today I would definitely not return. We started with the steamed dumplings. They were mushy instead of a nice steamed texture as if they had been sitting in water for an extended (emphasis on EXTENDED) period of time, which should have warned us what was to come. The noodles in our ramen appeared old with different pieces having different textures (soggy/mushy & stale). Everything was lack luster, the service was okay, however my breaking point was seeing one charge via my bank account and seeing another on my receipt. This place needs to find a new cook, freshly make their food, and lock in before they don't last long.
