Komodo Loco - Denton

Don’t be deceived by the humble exterior, or the casual atmosphere, this restaurant is a gem! With their special “Asian food with a Latin flare”, Komodo Loco offers full flavors that surpass most of their peers.


If you’re starting with an appetizer, you’ll find it difficult to choose just one – and I couldn’t, so we had the Loco Eggrolls and the Dragon Eggs. Both are delicious, and while I enjoyed the Eggrolls, the Eggs have such a great combination of flavors, I could eat a whole tray of them!

The entrees were definitely the stars of the meal, as my family selected Yo’s Poke Tostadas, the Bayou Tower, and a build-your-own Poke Bowl which was gluten-free.


I had to go with a special, which I’m told is soon to be added to the regular menu – a Fried Noodle Bowl topped with your choice of proteins. Again, I couldn’t choose just one, so I selected the Steak and Pork Belly. Both meats were outstanding, but I have to give the winning nod to the steak. It was tender, flavorful, juicy with a rich grilled taste. I couldn’t go back and not get this again!


For dessert, 3 of us chose the Joy Macaron Ice Cream Sando (this of a Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich in size, but the cookie is macaron, and they have four flavors to choose from), a very satisfying finish, and our 4th ordered the Tempura Sopapilla Cheesecake. This is everything it sounds like. It’s New York-Mexican-Asian and the Texas State Fair together on your plate. If you’re a fan of any of those things, this is a must!


Topping the delicious food, the service was excellent. Friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. Overall, a great place for dinner not far from the square in Denton.
