Inside Komodo Loco: Asian Flavors With a Denton Twist

Komodo Loco brings something distinctly Denton to the local dining scene: Japanese-inspired food approached with a Texas point of view.

Established in 2017 by local founders Kyle Krueger, Corey Bobbitt and Micah Fleck, Komodo Loco describes its approach as combining Asian and Southwestern cooking techniques. The result is a menu that moves comfortably between sushi, ramen, bao, rice dishes and creative shareable plates.

A Denton dining experience

Part of the appeal is the setting. Komodo Loco is tucked away at 109 Oakland Street near the Downtown Denton Square, giving it a slightly hidden-away feel despite being close to the center of downtown.

The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making it a natural option for dinner with friends or a date night where sharing several dishes is part of the experience.

What’s on the menu

Komodo Loco’s menu is designed around variety. Diners can find sushi and rolls alongside ramen, bao, bowls, and shareable dishes. Current menu selections include crispy rice bites and the Komodo Tower, among a broader selection of Asian-inspired dishes.

There’s a drinks side to the experience as well. Komodo Loco’s bar program includes specialty cocktails along with Japanese whisky, sake, beer, and wine.

Everything Texas is about helping people discover the local businesses that give Denton County its character.
