    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yellowtail roll (cucumber instead of green onion) & spicy tuna roll

    Little Katana was great!! Their food was amazing. The sushi tasted so fresh. The food was a little pricey, but great service and environment.

Ambiance- 9.5/10 Dim atmosphere with trendy vibes. Cool decor and Jenga to play while waiting for your food. If you don't like dark areas, you can sit outside with umbrellas providing shade. Service- 10/10 Our server was extremely helpful and nice. She recommended excellent dishes and even gave us a plate of chicken wings on the house! Value- 8/10 Good value, especially considering the quality of the food. Most sides were 5-10$, while the entrees were 12-16$. Portions were medium. Food Malaysian Roti- (2 pc, 9.5$)- 9.5/10 Was perfectly flaky and crispy. Came with a flavorful curry dipping sauce. Chili Garlic Edamame- (8$)- 7/10 Everything you would expect. However, it could have more of the chili garlic sauce. They do give you a complementary tray of spicy sauces (including chili oil), so this was not a big deal. Korean Twice Fried Wings- (5 for 14$)- 10/10 Wings were large, so one was the perfect appetizer for a single person. Coated in a heavenly gochujang garlic glaze. Nice and saucy while still being very crispy and juicy. Was my favorite dish we ordered. Pad Thai- (16.5$)- 8.5/10 Came with a fried egg, shrimp, and chicken. Had a hint of spice that elevated it from good to great. Curry Laksa Ramen- (16$)- 9/10 Very flavorful curry broth. Noodles were excellent and also came with tofu and a boiled egg. Overall, every aspect of the resturant was top tier. Would 100% recommend if you are near.

Prices are fair for the experience and sharing style. Verdict: A highly recommended spot for a lively dinner with friends. Ideal for trying many bold flavors in one sitting and enjoying the modern, communal vibe.

Every plate has its own personality. The service strikes a good perfect balance: attentive without hovering, warm without being over-the-top. It feels personal. I genuinely find myself already thinking about what I'll order next. The Mongolian Beef deserves its own spotlight. The sauce is rich and savory -- the kind that makes you slow down so you don't finish it too fast. The beef is tender and generously portioned, and the broccoli and carrots are cooked just right -- tender but it's never been soggy. It's the kind of dish where every bite is savory and satisfying. Safe to say, it's my current favorite... for now. The Pad Thai Woon Sen is a completely different experience in the best way. The clear noodles are light yet incredibly flavorful, and the tamarind sauce brings this beautifully layered tangy-sweet depth that builds with every bite. It's balanced, vibrant, and simply delicious -- the kind of dish that keeps you going back for "just one more time." The staff is friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful when you're trying to decide between dishes. You never feel rushed, and their recommendations feel thoughtful rather than scripted. And then there's the bar -- a hidden gem. The cocktails are delightful and refreshing, crafted well without being overly complicated. The drink menu offers great variety without overwhelming you like some trendy spots tend to do. It's the perfect place to unwind before dinner or linger a little longer after your meal. Asian Mint delivers bold, distinct flavors, thoughtful service, and a surprisingly fantastic bar -- all wrapped into one place. Definitely worth the repeat visits.

After the first time, I called to let them know, and the response was dismissive. When it happened again, I called again and got the same lack of concern. At that point, it's not a mistake, it's a pattern. At these prices, basic order accuracy and customer service should be a given. As for the food, it's average at best. It doesn't even reach Panda Express level in terms of consistency or flavor, which makes the pricing even harder to justify. I don't see the value here, and based on repeated issues and the lack of accountability, I wouldn't recommend.

He was polite and friendly. Food was good, but could be better. I want great food with these prices. The garlic noodles were tasty, but I have had way better garlic noodles. They were missing something. Now three of us ordered the surf and turf rice. This is my favorite dish. The portions of lobster and steak were all different on our plates. Mine had the least and seemed a bit skimpy compared to my friends. We all agreed on this. So the chef needs to do better controlling the portions of lobster and steak. It was still flavorful and delicious. Cocktails are weak in my opinion. Both in Vegas and Dallas. My friends and I also agreed on this. Overall Komodo is a lovely space.

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
