Komodo is a vibrant, upscale restaurant offering a fusion of Asian flavors in a trendy setting. With sleek décor and both indoor and outdoor seating options, it creates an energetic and stylish dining experience. The menu features a creative blend of dishes from Thai, Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian cuisines, giving diners plenty of choices to explore.
For the most part, we really enjoyed the food. The highlights of our meal were definitely the Peking Duck, chinese ribs, and Wagyu beef dumplings. The Peking Duck was expertly prepared, with perfectly crispy skin and tender meat that was paired beautifully with pancakes and hoisin sauce. The Chinese ribs were another standout—richly glazed and incredibly tender, they were a hit with the table. The Wagyu beef dumplings were juicy and full of flavor, while the Money Bags dumplings offered a fun twist with their unique shape and tasty filling. We also loved the Spicy Bluefin Tuna Rolls, which had a perfect balance of heat and freshness.
However, there were a few exceptions. Some in our party didn’t care for the Korean Fried Chicken, feeling it lacked the expected crunch and flavor. Similarly, the Garlic Crab Lo Mein wasn’t to everyone’s taste—it had an overpowering garlic flavor that didn’t quite hit the right note for some.
One area where Komodo did fall short was in its service. The experience was marked by slow and inconsistent service, with long waits between courses and moments when the staff seemed distracted or disorganized. While the servers were friendly, the pace of the meal and attention to detail were lacking at times, which affected the overall experience.
On a sweeter note, the dessert was a huge highlight. The Chocolate Peanut Caramel Bar, which featured a Skinny Dipped peanut butter cup, crème Chantilly, and salted banana gelato, was absolutely delicious. The combination of rich chocolate, smooth peanut butter, and the indulgent gelato made for a perfect ending to the meal.
Despite the service hiccups, the food—especially the standout dishes and dessert—made for an enjoyable experience. We’d definitely consider returning, hoping for a smoother service next time.
