It was great honestly. It was a tad pricey but they are very upfront with that on the menu. Plus, its Miami so thats a given. Food was DELICIOUS. Especially the duck wraps! I will say, there are bathroom attendants, which is nice but definitely caught me off guard. Never had that before, even in Michellin star restaurants. The dessert was lovely too, very light and very good. Its the Halo Halo. Anyway, do yourself a favor and have some food from here if you can

Didnt get sat until over an hour after our complete party showed up. Food was just ok, not at all equal to the cost. In theory you’re paying for the ‘scene’ but its seemed outdated already

I come to Komodo several times per month and bring friends so typically medium group of 5-8 people. Friday I was treated badly by the security person with blonde braids standing by front desk. He constantly pushed me and yelled just at me while letting pretty women push through so he could talk to them. I’m always complimentary and aware of the busy times but this was unnecessary and then later went to lounge upstairs and bought a table and he constantly stared at me and harassed my female friends. I don’t go there to have people be uncomfortable after spending thousands of dollars in one night. It’s not worth it.

The service was great. The wait staff was very attentive. The food came out very fast and was one after the other (served as prepared). Because of that, we felt that the dinner was very rushed. The food was good and vibes were also good.

The entire experience was phenomenal!! Our server, Polam, was very well educated on the foods and went above and beyond for us! He was so kind and funny and also very attentive to our table. The food was delicious! Every plate we ordered from the shisitos to truffle lo mein to veggie fried rice and cereal rock shrimp was INCREDIBLE!! 10/10! Can’t wait to go back!

For someone who eats all around the world, and as bad as some places have been, I have never left a 1 star review. This time changed that… it didn’t have to do with the food, or the atmosphere (which was stunning by the way…), it was a manager named Alfonso who thinks running around the restaurant with a giant CO2 canister blowing it off inches from peoples ears is “what we do here..” besides the tackiness of a greasy guy running through a restaurant with a filthy 2 foot can blowing dust off of the walls into people’s food, it’s ridiculously DANGEROUS. Alfonso blew the thing directly in my ear and I instantly felt a searing pain and couldn’t hear. I asked my server to come help as I was worried he would come back around doing it. Moments later, Alfonso was over at a table laughing and pointing at us, as we were still waiting to talk to the manager. Moments later Alfonso shows up to say that he is the manager and proceeds to offer to call me an ambulance and say “we are not comp’ing your bill, my solution for you is an ambulance…”. What?! Did I say I wanted my bill comp’d? I said I don’t want you to comp my bill, I want you to understand how dangerous it is and that beyond everything- you ruined mr $500 (for two) meal (had drinks while we waited for our table as well). NOT ONCE did he apologize… just kept passive aggressively offering me an ambulance when I told him that wasting an ambulance for people who need it is ridiculous. If I needed to I would go to urgent care. Eventually he walks away (still no apology) and the server comes back with our full bill…. Again, wasn’t expecting it comp’d, but he didn’t remove the $25 dessert we ordered that came out when he blew that in my ear, so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Alfonso the Manager…. I believe in second chances. But you need to pull your head out of your backside and realize that your little gas can trick is lame and dangerous. And perhaps you can apologize to people that were affected by YOUR actions.

It would be nice if the front of house staff put a smile on their faces, the first impression was far from welcoming. We received 2 dishes of food before we had even got our cocktails. Their were children screaming and crying and the fans in the outside area were blowing my hair on my face for the whole meal. There was a supervisor telling off a member of staff right behind us in full view of the restaurant and we could hear every word. Disappointing!

Dave Grutman should start paying people to eat here to get their honest feedback. People are stroking him telling him it’s good. It’s NOT! The service nor the food are quality. If the wait staff had to work for their gratuity it would be a wake up call for them.

Although the sushi was the best I’ve ever had, the hot plate apps were ok at best. Service was good. It’s super loud. The busser opened a new bottle of sparkling water every time he poured for us which was weird because we were only two people. The water bottles were actually used on two different tables, ours, and a very drunk table of six guys next to us. I forgot to check how many we were charged for. Still a fun experience, and again, best sushi and sashimi ever. Next time I’ll try the Peking duck from the hot menu instead of just sharing five appetizers after sushi.
