What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight Comma’s flavor-packed dishes, especially the Korean fried chicken and kimchi fries. Diners love the energetic atmosphere and say it’s a great spot to kick off a fun night. The cocktail menu gets frequent praise for being creative and well-balanced, and many mention the chic interior as a standout feature.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests enjoy the lively vibe, it can get a bit noisy during peak times—something to keep in mind if you’re hoping for a quiet meal. A few diners mention a short wait for tables on busy nights, so a reservation is a good idea if you’re on a tight timeline before a show.
