Deep Ellum

About the restaurant

Located in the Deep Ellum neighborhood, Komodo Dallas features an ultra-contemporary exterior facade that gives way to an inviting indoor-outdoor flow. The restaurant takes visual cues from its homebase, including Komodo’s signature illuminated “bamboo” cutout columns and duck display windows. From there, pops of saturated color are added, such as with the lounge’s eye-catching wallpaper and a dramatic fabric-draped corridor. Komodo Dallas spans two stories and seats up to 274 diners across tabletop, booth and bar seats.

Komodo Dallas’ menu offers delicious takes on Southeast Asian dishes, all of which have been developed and interpreted with a global approach. The result is a unique dining experience, ranging from regularly rotating specials to house favorites such as Salmon Tacos, Miso Chilean Seabass Skewers, Peking Duck, and Daring Plant Based Kung Pao Chicken. A full sushi bar is also included, while bespoke custom cocktails deliver lively and exclusive beverage options.

The whole experience was great. The hostess was so sweet and had our table was ready promptly. Our server, Duygu was so good. I haven’t had service that good in forever. We were here for my best friends bachelorette and our server made sure we always had what we needed/wanted. The drinks always came out super fast and the food only took like 10 minutes to arrive. We started the night at the table then moved to the karaoke pod afterwards. It was such a cute and fun experience. Even tho the pods were pretty far from our servers section she still made sure she was constantly checking on us and getting us what we needed. Overall it was such a good experience and I’m so thankful my bestie had the best bachelorette. Thank you Duygu you’re the best!
