One of the best Asian fusion experiences I’ve had in awhile. Everything was bursting with flavor. Quality was great. Decor was beautiful and immersive and music was fun. We went on a Sunday pretty early so there was no wait, but I was told reservations are encouraged due to the small size of the restaurant. The cocktails were also delicious! Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my experience at Komodo The cocktails are 10/10 I had the ginger passion fruit mule , very refreshing My husband had the lychee temptation and he enjoyed it as well . For appetizer we had Shrimp Tempura and Wagyu steak dumplings, they were absolutely delicious. Main course : My husband ordered the Wagyu Tomahawk steak with surf and turf fried rice. I didn’t care too much for the service b/c they do get very busy and our waiter forgot a couple of things but in return we were given free Komodo shots which were so good , I also forgot to mention they gave us complimentary champagne ( we were celebrating our wedding anniversary) Will I return ? Absolutely !
