    California Crunch Roll
    Lauren G.

    Fast and friendly service! Very yummy and flavorful sushi! California roll was amazing!

    That's not going to waste

    I don't do sushi very often and it's not because I don't like sushi I just don't care for sticky white rice or any white rice because it does absolutely nothing for me but since it is what sushi is I have to suck it up once in a while. I do have to do sushi once in a while because I like the freshness and the layers of flavor combinations and since I do it so little I know nothing about sushi and I just order what sounds good. I ordered the hot flamin sushi burrito which is spicy salmon, spicy crab, eel, avocado, cucumber and spicy hot ramen for crunch. My burrito came with chop sticks, cute dipping tray, 4 soy sauce and 3 napkins in the bag and I was surprised to get chop sticks because a burrito is a hand held food that requires no utensils at all. The soy sauce is a god send because it makes the white rice edible for me. My hot flamin burrito came with ginger slices and a ball of wasabi which was on point because it had the nice clay like texture and proper nasal awakening action and complemented my burritos nicely. I was surprised to find a piece of blackened white fish in the end of my burrito because it's not listed as being in the hot flamin burrito. My burrito was very good and tasty which hit the spot even though it has all that white rice in it.

    Tonkotsu Ramen!

    I've only visited twice, but both visits have been very good! On my first visit, I ordered the Eel & Avocado roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll. Both were delicious and tased fresh! The sushi rice was on point! On my second visit, I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. Tonkotsu style is my go-to for ramen, and I've had it at just about every place in town that offers it. I love the slighly salty, yet savory flavor of the pork-based broth, as well as the mouth feel of the broth's milky texture. Modern Maki impressed me with their Tonkotsu Ramen! Their Tonkotsu broth is definitely top 3 or 4 that I've had in town! The pork belly was practically fall-apart tender and delicious, and the bamboo shoots, fish cake, and other toppings were also on point. I skipped the corn because I don't think corn belongs in ramen, but that's just a personal preference thing. You want to pick up corn kernels with chop sticks? Have at it. What I really appreciated and found unique was that they serve the broth in a large bowl and the noodles and toppings in a separate smaller bowl that hovers near the top of the broth bowl, hanging by the rim of the bowl, so they don't make contact and don't get soggy. It is an absolutely brilliant design and perfect execution! The broth stayed hot, the lid was tight, and I loved every delicious bite. It's too bad the Health Dept. requires the boiled eggs to be fully cooked from a food truck, so they can't serve the proper soft soy egg, but this egg certainly did not disappoint. I look forward to trying sashimi and negiri, as well as a sushi burrito, so I can get a full idea of what Modern Maki can do, but so far, I'm a fan!

    Veggie Ramen

    I visited Modern Maki over the weekend to take advantage of the sunny weather. I ordered the Crunchy Munchy Roll and the Vegetarian Ramen. I did not use the app to order, so there was something of a wait. That is my only critique really. The truck didn't appear to be terribly busy, but who knows how many delivery orders they were working on. The roll was crunchy, as promised, with a well balanced mix of flavors. Two chopsticks up for this. My ramen was packaged smartly, with the noodles and ingredients separated from the broth so the broth stayed hot and the ingredients wouldn't get soggy. The broth flavor was complex and well developed. It was not as deep as a mushroom base would be, but it was good and flavorful. There were plenty of noodles included to satisfy. I enjoyed this a lot and would certainly go back,

    I went up to the truck with a friend and we ordered two rolls of sushi. She said can I get a (whatever she got) roll and I said and can I get a cucumber roll. Originally I wanted to order the tamago sushi but they were out of stock so that was a major bummer for me. We paid together since it was only two rolls. We were having a quick snack before a nearby exercise class so we didn't want to overeat. I suppose since we paid together that's why the sushi came together in one box which is fine. I thought it was strange that the food truck person only gave the two of us one pair of chopsticks and one soy sauce dish to eat our sushi with. We ended up passing the chopsticks back and forth a couple times until I went back to the truck to ask for another pair. We went at a time that did not seem busy and it took somewhere between 5-10 minutes for the two rolls of sushi to be made. Overall I think the cucumber roll that I ate tasted good although it's hard to mess that up. A positive sign is that I believe the knives they use are clean. I am a lacto vegetarian and do not eat fish eggs, sometimes I notice fish eggs on my sushi from dirty knives or stations at most restaurants. I did not have any stray fish eggs on my cucumber roll signifying clean working conditions in the truck. Seeing my cucumber rolls look nice and clean made me happy. I would definitely come back here when I am in the area with my friend. Hopefully the chopstick thing was a one time mistake because I don't want to be known as the girl who keeps coming back to ask for more chopsticks. The food truck area only had two picnic tables that I noticed but I'm sure there would be more if I kept searching. There are bathroom facilities which I did not use. After getting onto the sidewalk I do not recall ever seeing any steps so I believe the area is wheelchair accessible, the only issue would be the height of the counter at all of the trucks so an employee may need to come out of the truck to accept payment and hand over food.

    Decided to treat myself to some Ramen today. Unfortunately this was the most flavorless underwhelming ramen I've ever tasted. Fool me once. Thank God i happened to order a maki roll as well. The tempura roll was good. I wouldn't bother ordering their ramen ever again.

    My son and I stopped in for a late lunch and sat at the bar. Our server was extremely…read moreknowledgeable about everything on the menu. She was able to describe how the various entries are constructed and the ingredients included. She also talked intelligently about the noodles that are made "in house" and what entries fit best with which noodles. We started with hot White tea and the shrimp tempura appetizer. The White Tea was very good, especially on this cold afternoon. (5 stars). The shrimp tempura was just okay. The breading was a bit oily and did not adhere to the shrimp. (2 1/2 Stars). I ordered the seafood Ramen and loved the flavor and the freshness of the ingredients. The Scallops were extremely good, great taste, and cooked just right. (5 Stars). My son ordered the Curry Ramen and thought it was good, but he felt that the jalapeno was a bit overpowering. (4 Stars). The noodles were very very good. Great ambiance, excellent service and a good variety menu. I'll be back for sure.

    Thursday evening we wanted to have a chill dinner, didn't want to get too fancy…read more This was perfect! It was super chill. Not busy on a Thursday evening. Our server was soo nice and on top of it!! There's super cute decor and art on the walls. Loved it! They have anime playing on 3 different tvs! We tried their house sale and it was good. We were there during happy hour so we took advantage of the buy one get one app 1/2 price off. We had the drunken mussels and birria bao. I wasn't too impressed with the birria bao, but loved the mussels!!! I had kimchi ramen and the boyfriend had seafood ramen. We both ate it all up it was so yummy!! I can't complain about a bit of it. It's a large portion so you can take some home too!! We added the black garlic but I wasn't impressed and found it tasting and feeling like just charred garlic instead of actual black garlic or fermented garlic. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect but I wouldn't add it again. Lastly we did get to try the Fire sushi roll and this was the absolute highlight of the meal for me! I loved it so much I had to bring another roll home with me! I couldn't get enough!!! i would visit this place again. It was fun, delicious and chill.

Not the elevated experience you would expect from this type of restaurant. We also had a bday we were celebrating and there was no acknowledgment. We had one menu from the bar. We finally had to ask for more and her whole demeanor was I don't care to be here and hate being a server. Which made our experience not as enjoyable. Didn't want to leave a tip at all. You can do better Room Service. Even though food is great , it left a sour taste in my mouth to not want to go back :(

    I have been wanting to go to Room Service for a while now and absolutely loved the experience…read more First, the food was phenomenal! Everything we had was delicious, expertly prepared, and had such cool presentation. We went for an anniversary and it was the perfect restaurant environment and very intimate. The server also included 2 complimentary glasses of champagne, which was such a nice touch. For starters, we had the gorgeous appearing Royal Flower Dumplings served with lettuce, the Spicy Fatty Tuna TatTar on crispy rice, and the pork belly Bao buns. My favorite item from the entire night was tuna TarTar, it was perfectly spicy and tasted so fresh, I highly recommend. I also think that the dumplings had such a wonderful presentation and were an experience, but probably would order a different appetizer next time since I have had them once. For our main dish, the drunken noodles were a must! The thick noodles were delicious and cooked to perfection. We also had Room Service Supreme Hand Rolls set (including spicy toro jalapeño, Saba, Yellowtail scallion, Ama Abi, and Salmon topped ikura) that filled us right up. For drinks, I had to order the One Night in Bangkok signature cocktail with such a fun lemongrass aromatic cloud (so cool and fun!), the berry-cation, and the Thai Godness. All were delicious and would order again! For dessert, we wanted to try something new and picked the Thai Tea Binsu. I am glad we tried it and it was yummy, but will probably go for their cheesecake next time. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience here!
