"A newly rolled-out omakase service began with a first round that included a plate with around 10 nigiri bites, two tuna tacos, and a few surprise bites, including a slice from a tuna that a chef broke down on the floor as diners watched. The first course of sashimi was served unusually in a bento box over ice, indicative of the unorthodox manner of service. Technically, as it is the chef’s choice, it is omakase, but diners are served at individual tables and the atmosphere is very much a party-style service; the quality is good — it’s just a matter of whether or not this is the omakase experience one wants to have." - Courtney E.

"Head in for a prix fixe menu from 9 to 10:30 p.m., at $175 per person, that includes a complimentary glass of Champagne and dishes like a wagyu bone-in strip, angry Maine lobster, money bag dumplings, and miso chocolate temptation. The night will also feature a DJ, dancers, and live saxophone performances. Upstairs, the Lounge will keep the party alive with music by Zillamatic and entry is complimentary for guests who join the dinner or $45 if all you want to do is dance. Reservations for the dinner are online and tickets to the party are as well." - Courtney E. Smith
"If the young-skewing scene at Komodo Dallas isn’t your usual, Restaurant Week is a good time to drop in; the food is quite good and the $99 signature menu includes standout options like a whole branzino, a 10-ounce New York strip, and a surf-and-turf plate with wagyu beef and tempura shrimp." - Courtney E. Smith
"A year ago, in June 2023, I made my first visit to La Neta Cocina y Lounge at the Epic in Deep Ellum. It had been open for six months and neighboring restaurant Komodo had opened in April, but I hadn’t yet visited the new duo of clubstaurants at the development." - Courtney E. Smith
"Komodo, originally from Miami, is a fine dining restaurant located in the Epic building in Dallas, known for its luxury dining experience." - Courtney E. Smith
