    Red rose roll

    The food is super good! I eat a lot of sushi and know when fish is fresh or not good quality and the fish here was really soft and good quality. I'm glad so find a new sushi spot, however the ramen is a little interesting on flavor, almost tasting more mexican-ish than traditionally ramen but it still had a good flavor. The service was quick and the restaurant is super beautiful/ clean inside.

    LOVE KOJI Koji is one of my top spots to eat in Denton around our neighborhood on the South Side of Denton. Their entire menu is simple but the simplicity taste so good. Their consistently tasty dishes have helped keep me and my family as regulars. Their consistently tasty service is always on point and all of the waiters know the menu and always offer up suggestions. The restaurant is always clean and well taken care of making for a warm and inviting dining experience. This is my first review of Koji but we have been over a dozen times since the name has changed. We will continue to visit and enjoy their food.

    Lunch Special

    First time visiting. We tried the hibachi meals and they were good. We had to have them made gluten free which they accomidated. No gf salad or soup option however. I do wish they offered lunch portions and pricing. The staff was very sweet, and the restaurant was clean with decor I really liked. Parking was a bit tricky in front, but there's additional parking on the side and in back.

    We ordered our food, and marked our sushi rolls on the paper that was given to us. We never received the such rolls, and when we inquired about them.... I was told that we did not order any on the paper. The waitress brought the paper to the table and proceeded to show me that we did NOT order any, BUT WE DID, I promptly pointed out the marked rolls. The food was subpar, the beef in our teriyaki bento box was very tough, and over cooked. The rice on the plate was hard and cold. It was almost as if they put it on the plate and let it sit there all afternoon until someone car and ordered the plate. The tempura was very dry and over fried. When we finally received the sushi, it was over sauced and horrible. Cut very uneven, and not even chewable. I spitting in a napkin. No wasabi given with the sushi either. Portions are super small. I would definitely not come back.

    I've tried many sushi spots around Denton, but this one will always be my favorite. I keep coming back because the quality is consistently amazing and the portions are so generous--I always leave full and happy. I usually order the same favorites, sometimes adding something new, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, which makes it the perfect place to really enjoy your meal. The staff are always so kind and welcoming. I truly love coming here, and it's my favorite little sushi spot in Denton. Highly recommend

    Hands-down one of my favorite spots for fresh, high-quality sushi with a cozy and welcoming vibe. Whether you're dining in or picking up, the staff are always friendly and attentive, and the service is quick without feeling rushed. The menu has a great variety--from classic nigiri and sashimi to creative rolls that are beautifully plated and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a date night, a casual dinner, or even solo sushi cravings. Everything tastes fresh, and the quality never disappoints.

    Chef's Special

    I had been following Koji on Instagram and wanted to try them. I finally had a chance and was greeted upon entering. The restaurant was so cute and nicely decorated. I wanted to place an order to go and escorted to a table to sit and look over the menu options. I specifically asked if they had riceless rolls and was pleasantly surprised they had many options. My order consisted of the following: Flying Fish Roe (Tobiko) not riceless but love the tobiko! Vegetable Tempura was hot and fresh Now for the riceless rolls: Chef's Special - 4 kinds of fish, crab, Japanese carrots, asparagus, avocado, wrapped in cucumber and tobigo with pozu sauce. Butterfly Kiss, spicy - special crab wrapped in salmon with ponzu sauce with avocado. Spring Roll - tuna, whitefish, crab, asparagus, avocado, mango, lettuce, cilantro, wrapped in rice paper with a sweet chili sauce. Caribbean Roll - yummy salmon, tuna, crab, avocado, asparagus, mango,and yamagobo in rice paper. Everything was so good without all of the carbs from the rice. While waiting, I was given the cutie rolls to try. So tasty. I had enough for 3 meals. They did a decent amount of to-go orders when I was waiting and started to get busy with dine in patrons. A great neighborhood find. Will definitely be back.

    I've been coming here since they first opened and it quickly became my favorite sushi spot in Denton. Fast and friendly service and the fish always tastes fresh, and very clean in the restaurant as well. Highly recommend!!

    KOJI SUSHI 04/19/24 Me and my Grandson had lunch here and as was the last time it was awesome. Very comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. I had made my mind up that next time I came here I was going to have appetizers for my meal so that is what I did! My grandson had The Tempura Udon! Noodle soup with thick wheat noodles, crunchy shrimp tempura, and chopped shallots/scallions with Dashi-based broth. We shared: Heart Attack - Deep fried jalapeño with crab, cream cheese. Monkey Head - Deep fried mushroom w spicy tuna, crab Crab Monster - Deep fried crab, cream cheese, jalapeño with Wonton. Cutie Roll - Special crab, avocado wrapped In cucumber with ponzu sauce Food was freshly prepared and served hot. Flavors were great. I can't make my mind up on my favorite item! All were very flavorful and delicious. We will be back!

    Two rolls -- can't remember the names and two cuties.

    Came here for my birthday lunch. Service was friendly and the place was beautifully decorated. I got the vegetable hibachi and my husband got two rolls. They gave us cities to try and they were delicious. My husband love his rolls. My hibachi was good. We will definitely be back.

    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.
