I'm an ABC who flies to NYC/LA whenever the Chinese food cravings become insatiable…read more The food here does lean more home cooked flavors in my opinion, which I find comforting. They have pan-Chinese dishes, but less Cantonese influence than a lot of other Chinese restaurants I've been to in South Florida. La Zi Ji: I wish this was spicier but I understand they have to cater to the demographic Twice Cooked Pork: rice stealer, authentic Eggplant: Chinese cooked eggplant is the only id eat eggplant because otherwise I find them too bland. A lot of garlic and flavor in this one Also the only restaurant that has century eggs!! I think I saw some classic American Chinese dishes as well, like orange chicken, but that's not where my attention went. Overall, I will be back!

We have been to this restaurant off and on for a long while, and recently when we heard good things…read moreabout it we decided to give it a try, as we have a hard time finding a good authentic Chinese restaurant in the area. Happy to report that this place is legit, and the dishes are very authentic as well as delicious. They specialize in sichuan style dishes, though there are enough offerings that are not spicy, and we can request mild on many of them. The duck in dry pot was juicy and flavorful, and we also had a mix pot which was spicy with tripe, duck blood, squid, spam, cabbage, bean sprout and other stuff in it. The only dish I won't reorder is the salt and pepper tofu. While the flavor was good, the shell was too thick and hard. Service from our waitress was really nice. Glad we don't have to drive miles up north whenever we want good Chinese food.

I was so fully I had to unbutton my pants and I had plenty of leftover for almost 2 meals. The chongqing noodles are a must. Deliciously spicy and numbing if you eat continuously. I liked having the extra oil as well to put on top of the other dish I ordered. The addition of nuts add such great texture. The sliced pork belly is divine. Perfectly cooked and I'd order again 1000%.

Soup dumplings have been at the tops of my cravings requests recently. So just know that's what my…read morereview is based on. And theirs did not disappoint. When you enter you are immediately greeted at the front and quickly seated. Our waitress came to bring us water and take our order within a few minutes. I only came for the soup dumplings. They come 3 to an order for $5.95. They come out super fresh and steaming so let them cool down. The broth inside is delicious and really hit the spot. My husband ordered the pan fried pork dumpling. Also come 3 per order. We loved both and were happy with flavor, seasoning. Especially how fast the food came out. I would call this a small restaurant. The space is very casual with ample seating. On a Monday afternoon they were pretty busy so that tells me locals also really love this spot. I'll be coming back to try more of their menu.

As soon as you're seated, you get offered hot tea and water. The hot tea is good. The waiter provided some great suggestions. The only thing is that we did have to request the chow mein noodles, when it was offered to the other tables. To eat, I tried the fried shrimp taro cake, fried crab rangoon, pan fried pork dumplings and special lomein. The fried shrimp taro cake was the best thing I've tried that day. It was delicious and I could eat this all day, everyday. The fried crab rangoon was also delicious and I will definitely order it again. The pork dumplings were tasty too. The special lomein had pork, chicken and shrimp and it was very good. It also came with white rice, which was had no seasoning, but that was expected. The special lomein is definitely a shareable dish. Overall, the service was good and the food was very tasty. I was also very surprised how affordable it was. This is definitely a place I would return when I'm craving Chinese food.

Mediocre Food, Insultingly Small Portions and Poor Service…read more Unfortunately, Komodo was a major disappointment. The food was mediocre--especially for a Miami Spice menu--and nowhere near the upscale experience we expected. After spending almost $400 for my husband and I, I would have expected more. The portions were insultingly tiny, with the exception of the chicken salad. The salmon tacos contained what tasted like salmon "paste," and each taco shell was barely two inches long. They were so ridiculously small that even our waiter chuckled. The "half Maine lobster" was about the size of a jumbo shrimp, with no claw. The main course came with no sides so for $65 jumbo shrimp that was it. If you actually want a meal expect to pay extra for "fried" rice that was super bland and churrasco 10 oz extra at $12. So my steak meal was $87 and for that I could have had a real upscale experience at Daniel's in the Gables with upscale service and food. The experience started poorly when the four of us were seated at an awkward, cramped table with no legroom. We were positioned facing outward instead of toward one another, making normal conversation nearly impossible. It was a very strange setup for a party of four. Also, it was very warm in the restaurant and I would have asked to adjust but at the look at the servers face and everyone else I was afraid to say anything that something would happen to my food. The hostess also forgot to give us the Miami Spice menu. As soon as we requested it, the waiter's attitude noticeably changed, and the service went downhill from there. By the end of the night, the restaurant was overcrowded, with a very young crowd pouring into the bar area, and everything felt disorganized and poorly managed. Miami Spice used to be a wonderful way to experience Miami's better restaurants. Unfortunately, this felt more like a complete rip-off than a special dining experience. Komodo did not deliver the quality, portions, service or atmosphere its prices and reputation suggest. They should not be participating in Miami Spice as they have no upscale food to offer. My only regret is I didn't take pictures for potential customers to see how terrible this experience was and food looked. This was highly disappointing,,,save your money.

Also, people kept strolling in, looks like they have a private back area. People were interestingly dressed and kept taking photos near the back. The service was okay, it felt like the food took long to come out, considering there weren't a lot of diners there. Two of us had the picanha, it was good but it was à la carte, so I ordered potatoes with like a chili oil topping as a side. Split that with my daughter who ordered the mahi mahi and really enjoyed the mahi. The last person in our party ordered a chicken dish, I think it might have been Asian style; she said it was okay.

The service is top notch with extreme attention to detail. We were celebrating my friend's birthday so we went all out and did the Taste of Hakkasan Prix Fixe menu for $175. It was so much food but everything was phenomenal. I especially enjoyed the duck, all of the dumplings, the sea bass and beef tenderloin. But the flavors were great in every dish. Between the two of us, we had a ton of leftovers which wasn't ideal as we were staying in a hotel. We asked for a mini fridge and munched on the very expensive leftovers it in between activities. Although it was extremely pricey, we had a lovely experience and I'd love to go back when feasible.

They were a bit underwhelming flavor-wise, but once I added some chili oil they improved quite a bit. Overall, great ambiance and some really strong dishes. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially to try more items on the menu.
