Komodo Loco Denton

A buddy of mine has been raving about Komodo Loco for several months, so when I had the opportunity, I had to see first hand what the fuss was about. It is off the beaten path, near Downtown Denton, off Hickory, on Oakland, which is a seldom traveled side street. The place looks like it is a 100 year old brick building that has an interior reminiscent of the best restaurants in New York City or Chicago, definitely not Denton. Very chic, yet very comfortable. Gabi our waitress was off the charts stellar. We started with shishito peppers that were pan blistered with sesame seeds and served with soy sauce and lemon, Wow! We followed with chicken skinz which are fried chicken skins served with wasabi micro greens, green onions, sesame Thai, and Korean barbecue sauce. Incredible! My friend had a bayou tower, which consisted of raw spicy tuna, avocado, serrano peppers, fried crawfish tails, creamy wasabi, eel sauce and cilantro. He said it was beyond fabulous. I had the fuego rojo roll. It consisted of spicy raw tuna, fresh jalapeno, ebi shrimp, habanero tobiko, strawberry, and sesame Thai sauce. The quality of food is beyond belief, the service is on point, the decor is cutting edge, and the prices are moderate. Dinner was one incredible taste after another. This is fusion cuisine beyond expectations. There is nothing in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex that holds a candle to Komodo Loco. Put this place on your Bucket List and you will return time and time again. On a scale of one to ten, I give this place a seventy five.

Great service and excellent food! I had salmon hand rolls and a sweet Thai rice bowl with a Kirin Itchiban. Prices are low compared to other places and food tastes great. One thing tho it is an interesting fusion of food. I found myself eating fried tatortots covered in porkbelly and queso with my sushi. Is that traditional? Probably not, but damn was it delicious.
