Really good fried chicken. I recommend getting their slider because it had everything you could every want in it and it all goes sooo well together. They also grill their bun which is always a plus! Their chicken is thiccccc but not that spicy. I got hot and it was very mild. I would go for extra hot next time or even a level above that. I also really enjoyed their kale slaw. It's so delicious, crisp, and sweet to cut the heaviness of the meal. I didn't get a chance to try their grilled cheese but everyone else who tried it said it was their favorite so it's on my list next time I visit!

This is a place with a big bar inside near the open kitchen and a outside seating surrounded with plants and thatched roofs.

The atmosphere is very cozy and there are a lot of good looking people inside.

Service is really good. From the first step, after waiting to be seated, you're guided by really gorgeous girls to your table and are attended with really great service along your evening journey.

It is expensive but with great plates and drinks to have. You are in Brickell!

Very cool scene. Came for dinner and stayed for drinks and dancing in the club/ lounge on the 3rd floor.

Appetizers: Veg sushi, Shrimp tempura rolls, Sea bass skewer - all good

Veg dumplings were delicious.

Entrees:
Korean fried chicken
Crab lo mein

Spicy green beans - really are spicy, but good flavor

Veg lo mein - they don t have much for vegetarians, but we asked them to make the crab lo mein without meat and they were able to accommodate. It was so good, we ordered another one. Sadly the second one wasn t as good (less sauce), but it was still tasty

Delicious food in a fun and beautiful atmosphere. Despite being completely packed, our waiter was very attentive and entertaining. I shared the Peking duck and the wagyu beef dumplings with my boyfriend- the flavors of both dishes were outstanding. I definitely will be back.

Let s start with the positive...the atmosphere & presence in this restaurant is nice. The food was good. Now the negative...very over priced and small portions. Yes the Peking duck is good but for $96 you ve got to be crazy to spend that. And when they brought the steamed wraps, they failed to advise us they were layered with paper. So when you made your wraps in a very dark restaurant, you bit into a very chewy wrap with paper inside. This place is for the younger rich crowd looking to impress others. Go elsewhere where you get better valued entrees.

This was my first and last time visiting this restaurant. Although the decor was beautiful the service was not! Our waitress was not as attentive as she should be and I m assuming that s because they add an 18% service charge to your check automatically. Even though our party was only a total of 3 people. So the waitress didn t need to try. The food tasted good but portions were small considering the prices. The worst part of my dining experience was being rushed from our table after paying. Manager actually personally came and asked that we free up the table. Very upsetting considering i just paid them $330 of my hard earned money. When exiting noticed there weren t any people waiting to be seated so i don t understand the rush to get us out.

We ve read a lot of negative reviews but we thought we have to try for ourselves. We love everything here. Food, drinks, service, ambiance & music. Miguel looks after us extremely well. We don t need to tell you how much we like it because we re coming back for chef tasting on Wednesday night.

Awesome night with great friends!! Super cool vibe great music and loved how serious the restaurant is taking Covid-19. As you enter they take your temperature, I appreciate the extra mile everyone is taking during these trying times. Can't wait to get back there. Make sure you get the Pecking Duck!!

I dined here, new to the city of Miami with my Oregon family, only to be wowed. Hands down one of the best restaurants I ve ever been to in my life. I dined with David and his assistant Brandon who were nothing more than charming an attentive. Full of smiles and enthusiasm these guys were the best part of our experience. Always anticipating our needs, I didn t have to lift a finger to do anything. Literally felt like they would ve fed us if we asked. We had the Peking Duck, Sliced Beef, Komodo Roll and An A 5 Steak roll. Everything was recommended through David and we were thoroughly pleased finishing off with the Food God Baked Alaska! To Die For! Thank you for this tremendously pleasing experience! We will be back for more, with more!

Overpriced, rude manager.
Made several mistakes on our bill (over 300 dollars) of mistakes. Manager was rude and never attended to making the process of separating the bill easier for us.

This place is perfect for a nice evening out
My honest opinion the Duck is abosuletly delicious well seasoned Super moist "But highly overrated"
Now The octopus Baby that was definitely my favorite dish of the night Yes Lordt
The sweet patatoe is a definate must have
The Lobster Roll and komodo roll was on point
The lobster was Good but you only get half of a lobster most of the weight is just shell
Cauliflower Fried rice The Fried Rice Green Light
I Don't know who created the recipe
For the Brussel sprouts But they hit a home run with it I tasted the love
My only complaint was the lighting
If your more for a romantic setting sit upstairs but if you want to just chill with friends or family sit down stairs But over all Money was well worth it

The food was excellent, service very good, atmosphere below par. Cost for 6 adults and two children with 3 adults not drinking alcohol was close to $700, including tip. In a high end restaurant I expect a fair amount or personal space. We were seated at a table that was a bit crowed for all. Tables were so close together that to stand up was hard due to the fact that pushing back your chair more than 6-7 inches you backed into a diner at another table! If the server had to go behind me to serve someone further down the table he disturbed my chair. Getting to the bathroom was a challenge. If you want excellent food served ln a cattle car environment, perfect place for you.

I made my reservations for 10:30 pm and arrived at 10:15 pm to arrive on time, then the staff tells me that I have to wait 10 minutes and those 10 minutes became 30 minutes and the girl tells me I have to wait more time and I see more people coming in after me. It is a lack of respect for their staff Because the lady told me that the table that people are going to give me is paying and with a mocking tone and when they take me to my table I see that you have more than 5 empty tables....

Awesome decor inside but menu was really hit and miss with some good dishes and poor ones. Very flavorsome but not balanced. Eggplant entre too sweet and dumplings in a sauce far too tart. Is considerably more expensive than its worth. Staff ok. Were nice but left me in a corner for longer than 10mins before taking orders and the place was only a third full.

Overpriced and underwhelming. Music was a bit too loud for my taste. Ordered from the Miami spice menu. Nothing I'd recommend, but I do recommend staying away from the chillean sea bass. I was ill-tempered after finishing my dull meal and signing the check. Will never go back.

Can t get the Nutty Bar dessert out of my head, so good! This place has a great vibe, it s classy, but not pretentious. The service was excellent. The menu offers a lot of variety and plates are easy to share so we tried 6 items off the menu. Even at 98$ for the duck, it was worth getting; the prawns, the octopus, everything is really tasty. We were lucky to be seated outdoors on a beautiful evening, but the inside looks just as appealing. I d definitely recommend it to anyone staying in the area!

Expensive though the food was nice, as were the staff. Walking in at 8pm we assumed we would have required a booking, however we were seated straight away with no dramas at all. Entrees were all great, and the crab noodles for the main were too good to pass up my partner and I got the same meal. And luckily we did, they were so good neither of us would have wanted to share

One of Miamis best! My wife and I love coming here from Tampa. Jodi takes great care of us at the bar! The sea bass skewers are to die for. Komodo roll if you like sushi is hard to beat. Great service... fabulous food... and the scene on Fridays and Saturdays is VIP!!!

Sometimes you hear people say that everything they ate at a restaurant near delicious and you wonder if they are just hyping it up. No hype here. Komodo delivers for foodies. Was not the biggest fan personally of the Ruben Egg Rolls but everything else was amazing, and we ordered a lot. Waygu dumplings, beef jerky and other apps were so good we filled up on those. Unfortunately but fortunately we kept eating. The duck is so good and prepared even better. My favorite was the short rib. Desserts did not disapoint either. We went on a Sat night so it was packed. We had a reservation and ended up waiting 20+ minutes anyway. It is on the loud side and some of the tables are pretty close as well. This is a pricey place so keep that in mind. Definitely enjoyed coming here and will make a return trip when in Miami again.

Nice place in Brickell for upscale Asian food in a club like setting. They have a bar on the first floor and two levels of seating that's both inside and outside under a covered pavilion. The ambiance is great but the prices of the food are very high considering what you get. The service here is some of the best I ever had in Miami and for that reason I may come back

What a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. My only issue was with their policy of automatically adding an 18% gratuity...with a party of 2. The waitress was having a bad night but her team of support was really nice and professional. I called back to check on the gratuity and asked to speak to a manager on duty. The individual that I spoke with must have been our waitress. My wife and I will always give a 20% gratuity, no matter the level of service...25% if the service is really good. If the service is lacking we may write a word of encouragement for the waiter or waitress.

Felt a little bit annoyed by the waitress assistant, I don't understand why he asked so many questions. How many plates did you ordered, from what menu are you ordering, miami spice or the regular one? How many desserts? More sparkling water? or tap water in the same glass is fine? Are you waiting for something else? or are you leaving soon? Every 20 seconds a different question! You cannot have a peaceful dinner!
