Great local spot! Stopped by here on a whim and there was plenty of seating. They have a good variety of different dishes aside from sushi! We ordered: -poke bowl with yellowtail, it was excellent -truffle hamachi, highly recommend. def my fave thing we ordered -yuzu ginger sashimi, seared albacore. it was a good fusion choice with plenty of crunch and flavor -cucumber salad, refreshing and crisp -assortment of nigiri, tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp and octopus. everything was fresh and great quality The service was a bit slow and inattentive. Our server pretty much forgot about one of our sushi orders. Eventually it came out and we had to hurry because running tight on time by that point. Also, not a huge fan of the green lighting we were stuck in the back room with. Other than that, I'd still come back and give them another try soon. read more

Great food in a fun, eclectic atmosphere! Thanks to our wonderful, friendly server who was very nice & knowledgeable which made our experience enjoyable. We will have to make a return trip to Denton! read more

Found this place through Yelp, and it was such a pleasant surprise. Absolute fusion! While there is no parking in front of the restaurant, there is a parking lot less than a block away! A short walk down the street, and it's tucked away on the side! We were greeted at the door, and quickly seated! The restaurant is broken into several rooms. Some were more quiet and reserved for more intimate parties, and other's were larger to accommodate larger parties! While we skipped the cocktails, they had an extensive menu I will be back to check out! We made a tapas meal, and ordered almost entirely from the appetizer menu! The egg rolls were yummy, and properly cooked. We got the 3 for $14 Bao, and got the fried chicken, pulled pork and smoked tofu! While I expected the tofu or pork to be the winner, we both went crazy for the fried chicken!! We also ordered the Totchos... yep, nacho's on tator tots! We went for the Killa Kimchi, which was great. We then finished with the Philly Who? roll. It was a sweet spin on a traditional Philadelphia Roll. Everyone was very nice, and the food was excellent! 5 STARS and we will be back! read more

Great food every time we have been there. Exploration menu with some unique takes. Love their shashito pepper and Brussel sprout appetizers. All of the sushi that we have tried have been truly unique and above pat. Service has always been very attentive, and it is great that they stay open a little later than other restaurants! read more

I should be ashamed of myself...Komodo Loco is one of my favorite restaurants in Denton, and I have apparently forgotten to write a review after the multiple times I've been here! The vibe is fantastic. The music is always great and played at the perfect volume. Much of decor is Asian inspired and eclectic. Some of the tables are a tad too close for my liking, but it's never been a real issue. An ideal place for a first date! The service is always fast; I love the servers aren't required to wear a uniform and can show their personalities through their outfit. My consistent go-to here are the pulled pork totchos. If you get anything from here, get those! The shrimp tempura batter is perfectly light with a crunch. The pan seared pork gyoza is another go to of mine- whenever my mom visits we always get a handful of small plates to share. Not pictured that'd I've had before and loved are the KFD Wings. Just the right amount of heat with meaty wings! I tried the beef fajita roll for the first time last night, and that's definitely something I'll be getting again. DELISH!! The food here is obviously crafted with fresh ingredients and by someone with a fine tuned palate. Komodo Loco is a must try in Denton! read more

We had a great dinner here on a Friday night. I made reservations for 7:00pm, requested the front resto area, and we were seated there immediately upon arrival. We ordered shishito peppers and spicy tuna cones for appetizers, lovely. We ordered the sashimi combo, Mean Green & Horatio's Bayou rolls. All was very tasty. The icing for us was the bartender has an extensive Japanese Whiskey menu and made some great picks for us. Our server Anna riffed with us on Dead and Company all night. This is a fantastic restaurant with friendly staff! read more

The small plates were absolutely delicious, minus the deviled eggs. The Sake the server recommended was great and the sashimi was super fresh and perfectly presented! Highly recommend Komodo Loco! read more

Don't be deceived by the humble exterior, or the casual atmosphere, this restaurant is a gem! With their special "Asian food with a Latin flare", Komodo Loco offers full flavors that surpass most of their peers. If you're starting with an appetizer, you'll find it difficult to choose just one - and I couldn't, so we had the Loco Eggrolls and the Dragon Eggs. Both are delicious, and while I enjoyed the Eggrolls, the Eggs have such a great combination of flavors, I could eat a whole tray of them! The entrees were definitely the stars of the meal, as my family selected Yo's Poke Tostadas, the Bayou Tower, and a build-your-own Poke Bowl which was gluten-free. I had to go with a special, which I'm told is soon to be added to the regular menu - a Fried Noodle Bowl topped with your choice of proteins. Again, I couldn't choose just one, so I selected the Steak and Pork Belly. Both meats were outstanding, but I have to give the winning nod to the steak. It was tender, flavorful, juicy with a rich grilled taste. I couldn't go back and not get this again! For dessert, 3 of us chose the Joy Macaron Ice Cream Sando (this of a Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich in size, but the cookie is macaron, and they have four flavors to choose from), a very satisfying finish, and our 4th ordered the Tempura Sopapilla Cheesecake. This is everything it sounds like. It's New York-Mexican-Asian and the Texas State Fair together on your plate. If you're a fan of any of those things, this is a must! Topping the delicious food, the service was excellent. Friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. Overall, a great place for dinner not far from the square in Denton. read more

I cannot say enough about this place food was absolutely amazing. Started with pork belly boa buns. WOW! Great acidity with the pickled radish topping! You cannot go wrong with any of the ramen bowls. Shout out to Kellyn, our waitress. She was great! She steered us right with the sushi rolls! Thank you so much! We will definitely be back! And soon! read more

I don't know if I'm allowed to refer to my experience as orgasmic, but it was nothing short of such an acclaim. My socks have been knocked off and I would have licked every scrap off the plate but our server snatched it before I could be set loose upon it. This is the best spot in Denton for Japanese, don't let the prices scare you off, it's worth every cent. Come here!!! read more

I never knew this place existed - very hidden and close to UNT campus! The atmosphere was really cool and decorated with some neon signs and servers were all friendly. The menu is pretty big too and there's a large variety of options to choose from including Ramen, Sushi, Bao, Rice Bowls, etc. I got the Komodo Style Ramen which is a shoyu broth with chasu pork belly, kimchi, corn, & more. It didn't taste like typical authentic ramen and was a little too salty for my liking however - probably won't be getting the ramen here again. I also tried the Edamame appetizer & a Salmon Poke Bowl which was good. Everything was a little pricy (coming from a college student) - ramen $13 and poke $17. Overall, a pretty cool interior with average food (+ they serve drinks) if you're looking for something new to try. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Komodo Loco, and I must say, it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. One of the first things that caught my attention was the extensive menu, offering a wide variety of options to choose from. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, or somewhere in between, there's something on the menu to satisfy every craving. The diverse selection made it difficult to decide so picked a few different items. When the food arrived, it exceeded all expectations. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were evident in every bite, leaving me craving more with each mouthful. Not only was the food exceptional, but the portion sizes were also generous, ensuring that no one leaves the table hungry. And the best part? The prices were incredibly reasonable, making it accessible to all without compromising on quality. But what truly sets Komodo Loco, apart is the atmosphere. The vibe is relaxed yet vibrant, making it the perfect place to unwind with friends or enjoy a romantic dinner for two. The ambiance, combined with the outstanding food and top-notch service, creates an experience that is truly unforgettable. Overall, my experience at Komodo Loco was nothing short of spectacular. From the menu to the exceptional food, generous portions, reasonable prices, and inviting atmosphere, it's safe to say that this place has earned a permanent spot on my list of favorite eateries. I can't wait to return and explore more of what they have to offer. Only thing I didn't do was check for vegetarian options sorry . read more

The BEST sushi in the state of Texas! The tuna tower is unmatched... my standards for sushi consumption has gone up thanks to Komodo. We try and keep this place a secret as it is smaller and can get busy, but I won't lie you gotta try their food! read more

Fun menu and the food was great. I was wanting to take two extra crispy rice rolls home but I was full

A friend and I met up here for dinner and enjoyed sharing a handful of small plates and some sake. Everything was amazing!

We both can't wait to go back and try more. read more

I finally got to bring my husband here. We started with edamame and Japanese pickles and they were good. He ordered the cow-a-bunga which had a good kick and I had miso loco ramen. Both great choices across Asia. The nigiri salmon and Take Two to Tango rounded out to full status. All the dishes are displayed well and perfect portion size. Our new Asian Fusion place. Make reservations before you come. They are packed with a great vibe. read more

Love this place. Never disappoints. Have been a few times now while visiting my daughter from Virginia. Love the rustic decor. Awesome wall art. Service is always great. I tend to get cosmos but I'm not too crazy about theirs. How good the food is far outweighs this minor drawback. LOVE the pulled pork tachos. Get them every time. Most of the time I just get multiple appetizers. Gyozo perfectly seared and flavorful. Fried shrimp tempura has a nice light batter so you can appreciate the shrimp. Pork belly bao is yummy. Meat so tender. Not too fatty. Slaw adds a nice crunch. Will return here every time I visit. Prices good too Walking through kitchen to get to the bathroom is kinda weird though! read more

Simply perfect. I've a lot of great meals in many places around the world and this night is in my all time top 5. Every dish was made with class and delicious. I had shishitos, edamame, miso soup, pork belly bao buns, pickles and jalapeños, pork belly ramen, and sashimi yellowtail and albacore. It was perfect. And that's just the food. The service was on point and the ambiance indicative of the best Japanese sushi joints. Can't recommend enough. Do it! read more

Server was great. Excellent suggestions. Menu really has many different selections. Was noisy on Saturday night but loved the decor.

Was down in Denton With a friend and saw this place in the Google search results and decided to give it a shot as the menu looked interesting, we weren't there for a big meal but we tried a couple of things. We had the Pork gyoza and 2 bao buns one with fried chicken and the other with pork belly, both were delicious and the gyoza was very good as well especially the side sauce which I still don't know what was in it but it was a little bit spicy and very tasty . They had several interesting items on the menu including some unique ramen that I would like to try if I get an opportunity to come back, so if you're in the area and looking for some good solid Asian fusion food don't hesitate to stop by and try this place! read more

I have never been disappointed with the food or service at Komodo loco. I highly recommend!

Okay, fine! I kind of like this place despite going into it very skeptically. I got the Southern Smoke ramen and an old fashion. The food itself was awesome! I don't like the idea of fusion, but what do I know. It turns out I was so wrong. A lesson to us all is to try new things. The vibe from the outside becomes more inviting as the sun sets. The only reason this place doesn't get five stars is because of the seating. We met another couple with their kid and were sat at an L shaped booth. This isn't great geometry for visiting. In addition the tables were too tall for the seating. Maybe some people want their food right by their head for ease of slurp, but it's a bit awkward. Be adventurous, give Komodo Loco a try. read more

This will forever be my favorite sushi place in Denton. Our waitress was nice and the ambience is suitable for a nice chitchat or catch up. The food is above amazing: well seasoned and beautiful. We got the Komodo Towel with salmon, 3 pork belly baos, Bulgogi Fried Rice with Korean bbq sauce, and a Slammin' Sake. Except for the fried rice, everything was sooooo good, especially the Komodo Towel!!! I think the fried rice doesn't worth the price because the portion was small and there wasn't anything special about it. I highly recommend! read more

The Ramen is deliciously dope! I also love the spicy salmon sushi. You won't regret it!

The place is located down an unassuming street. Fortunately, we were able to grab a spot as it was fairly busy for a weekday. Customer service was on point. Very attentive and even changed the tv to a game I wanted to watch very promptly. We started off with the edamame and yellowtail tartare. The edamame was amazing, the flavor of Orange was a great touch. I had to try to the yellowtail tartare cause it's something I don't typically see on a menu. As a lover of yellowtail, I was excited and loved it. For the main dishes, we tried the dragon fire and fuego rojo rolls. Both were good. The size of the rolls seemed to be a bit smaller than what I typically see at places but regardless they tasted good. I tried the chocolate flan dessert with high hopes and was sadly disappointed. I would've given this a 3.5 if possible but going down to a 3 seemed to be unfair, especially with the great customer service. read more

Amazing atmosphere and music, not to mention the best Kara-age i've ever had. Definitely will be back.

This used to be one of those places that we were excited to go to but the last visit was really disappointing. The food has always taken a LONG time to come out but the quality was always great. Not any more. One of the best dishes was the pork belly buns. They were incredibly flavorful and well balanced. The last time, they were bland and ordinary. The other dishes were disappointing (except for the Smokey Ramen which was still very good). If you look at the prices and the wait for the food, we aren't planning on coming back. read more
