Komodo

Chinese food in Miami is what you used to crave after a night of heavy drinking, but then Komodo came along and turned this favorite hangover cure into something of a counterpart for a night of partying. Nightlife impresario David Grutman, best known for Miami Beach’s LIV and Story nightclubs, is behind the Brickell hotspot—which isn’t to say that food takes a backseat here. The menu is filled with traditional Chinese dishes such as dim sum and Peking duck (which hang roasted by the entrance). Happy hour (Mon–Fri 4–7pm) brings the opportunity to try some more innovative options, like the pastrami egg roll, as well as discounted cocktails.
