I love this restaurant. It's one of my favorites in the city! The location is amazing and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very sultry. Perfect for a date night or dinner with the girls. They recently changed their menu and so the dumplings recipe is a little different. I'm kind of sad about that. I hope they bring back the original dumpling recipe! But other than that Modita is 10 out of 10 I recommend it to everyone specifically those Who are willing to try a different style of food.
A perfect spot for a date night, girls night, or any kind of celebration. This restaurant is a unique fusion of cultures and tastes! I suggest ordering a few different dishes and sampling with a group of friends. My favorite Benitez were the Brussel sprouts (literally could order two bowls just for myself!), the naan with the whipped feta, and the sweet and spicy chicken! Tons of drink options as well and staff was wonderful! I was too stuffed for dessert this time but they do have sweet treats for ending your meal!
2.20.26 Hubs knows I love ramen and sushi and we hadn't been here before, so he got reservations to celebrate my 55th. (I mean, my 29+th ...) This was a Friday night are our reservations were for 6:30pm. Modita is on Carrolton next to the Bottleworks Hotel, so there is the street parking and the lot - everything was already fairly corded, but we got a space in the lot. We ended up arrive about 6:15 and the place was probably 80% empty at that time. The interior edges on industrial, but with a darker color palette that feels cozy. We were shown a table in the front room, in the corner, which kind of was disappointing because there were cooler booths and more space elsewhere. So I had a good view of just a wall with freaky monkey wallpaper on it, ha. Water was filled right away and our server came pretty quickly. He said there were no chef specials off menu because they were just coming off devour indy last week. We took a few minutes to look over everything, and I always enjoy asking the servers what is their favorite and why. I am NOT a picky eater, so I will often order whatever they recommend because I like trying everything. We're fans of the Cunningham restaurants, so generally we expect it all to be delicious. I ordered a glass of the Gaspard sauvignon blanc (so delicious ... I ordered another later) and hubs just got a diet coke. We were a little "huh?" when they brought him a glass and a can. The waiter explained that all the other Cunningham properties use (fountain) pepsi products, but , being in Bottleworks ( the historic Coke factory), they use Coke products here. Great ... we like Coke better .. just cans at $3.50 ea. did not fit the ambiance. FOOD! Check out my pics. We got the edamame (wonderful sauce) and uramaki roll to start, then hubs got the shrimp drunken noodles and I got the pork shoyu ramen, which I also had asome leftovers of. For dessert, the Yuzu bar, a nice thick citrusy curd. Everything had a really nice flavor and met expectations of pretty fabulous. My pics are a little dark because the room was quite dim, but I adjusted a bit and I think you'll see how pretty the food was - and it all had very nice flavor. I expect such for a Cunningham restaurant, and, in terms of food, that did not disappoint at all. One downside is that the room was indeed a little too dark, especially at the corner table where none of the overhead lights hit it (the way it was that we could see at neighboring tables). Also, we were right under the speaker and that, plus the general conversation in the room, was quite loud. We basically could not talk to each other without really raising our voices - a lot. Everything came to $165 with free birthday dessert, tax & tip. So ... A+ for the totally #yum food, and this would be a great just regular after work type of place, but for a special occasion ambiance and service levels this does not match some of their other properties. #ReviewsByRL
This is my wife and I's favorite restaurant in all of Indy. We were lucky to visit last night, and still great as always. We had a reservation at 6:45, and were sat shortly after that time. The place was busy for a Friday night, and was somewhat loud. Our waitress greeted us quickly, and was on top of things throughout the night. I started off with a ginger miso salad, based on recommendations on this page. Personally, I could have went without the $12 salad. I would have paid more like $6 for the amount of actual salad I got. The dressing was good, but nothing extraordinary. I did ask for no cucumbers- I could taste a faint taste of cucumbers on the salad, so think they just took them off after they were already placed. We split some Bao Buns. These were the highlight of the show. The pork on them was thick, the slaw was fresh, and the bao bun itself was fluffy. We split two dishes for dinner- the short rib and the chicken udon noodles. The chicken udon noodles were fantastic- packed full of flavor and tons of toppings in it. The short rib fell a little short of my expectations, but I had high expectations to begin with. We have had the short rib multiple times in the past- and normally it is a hunk of meat, similar to a roast. Now, it is strips of tiny pieces of meat with a bone attached to it. If the owner/general manager is reading this- GO BACK TO THE ROAST STYLE- the strips of meat was too much work to eat. Still packed full of great flavor though. I had the bridge to Anshun for my drink. I had never had Baiju before, but glad I tried it. It was a tangy drink that was also sweet- would say it's a must try. Overall, some changes since our last visit that weren't expected, but overall had a great evening here. Can't wait to return.
I placed a takeout order for eggrolls. As I waited, I noticed that the structure to a private eating area was different. The garage door was opened on a beautiful day. The eggrolls were more slender than I imagined. I like them but they were a little pricey.
This place was really cool. I'd come back for the Brussel sprouts for sure. The staff were amazing. Very knowledgeable about their dishes and considerate of the people with allergies or special dietary needs. They also keep you hydrated. Whenever my water go low, within 30-seconds, it was being refilled. Hot towels for your hands when done with your meal (upon request). I ordered the brussel sprouts, chicken egg rolls, and shrimp drunken noodles. Brussels were some of the best I've ever had. The chicken egg rolls were surprisingly filled with more chicken than veggies. Shrimp Drunken Noodles were tasty. A little more spice would've been nice. They served this whipped feta with the Naan bread that was really good. Our table wanted to put that on everything!
Modita has always been great! Recently revamped menu includes 5 or 6 more dishes while keeping the bangers. Great date spot with a warm environment with great service. The move here is to order 3 or 4 dishes and just share everything. Went with Pho Soup Dumplings, Pork Belly Bao Buns, and the Salmon Uramaki roll. All phenomenal. Make sure to hammer as much of the broth in the bottom of the soup dumpling bowl. Need to get back soon to try the new drunken noodles and udon!
Have you ever had food so good that it puts you in a good mood for the next few days? Well that was my experience at Modita. Everything was amazing - the atmosphere, the staff, and the FOOD. next level. We had a bit of everything: sushi, bao buns, miso soup, Mongolian beef, ube ice cream. Yum yum yum. I can't remember the name, but I got the tofu dish and substituted fried chicken, and it might have been one of the best things I've ever eaten. My husband and I came for our anniversary, and it was such a treat. We'll be back for our next big celebration! Highly recommend.
The food is amazing. I will dream about those soup dumplings. The cocktail menu is deliciously creative. The mocktails are fun and inspiring, allowing any non-drinking members of your party to feel just as included in enjoying everything. But what really cements Modita as somewhere I will visit every time I'm in Indy is the service. Jo and Gabe were extremely personable at the bar, gladly nerding out with us about cocktails and games. The manager Matthew (?) was also very personable and delivered our desert to put the finishing touch on a meal so good it made me forget that I had had a disappointing day at GenCon. Yes, it's pricey enough that you need to be ready to treat yourself. But we've left happy we did so every time.
Food: I've been here a few times and even with the updated menu, the food is pretty tasty. I tasted the chicken egg rolls recently and they were perfect. I love the naan garlic bread and the sauces on the side. I shared some other foods w/frenz and they had chicken skewers, fried rice, broccoli and Brussel sprouts - we ate down! I tried dessert, the ube ice cream, for the first time and it was amazing Service: from host to server to even other people working the floor, everyone was polite and clear and very accommodating! Ambiance: it's a very dim lit place with pretty decor and since it's Asian cuisine, there were details that gave that cultural feel.
We had a lovey experience at Modita. We had a large party & JJ took incredible care of us. He was helpful in answering questions, offering suggestions & providing outstanding service. He made us feel like we were his only guests of the night with the care and patience he provided. Food was great as always!! I enjoyed my "little bee", Brussels sprouts & chicken w peanut sauce. Soup dumplings are a must. Something for everyone at this upscale restaurant with a great location if you want to continue ur night after.
Busy Friday night but service was great. Be patient as food usually takes about 20-30 min to arrive. Food is really good. Some things can be hit or miss. My family loves this place. Vibes r good. Everything was tasty. They make it spicy upon request. Drunken noodles were really good. I like the chicken skewers as well. Great sauce.
Met a friend here for dinner. Both our first time. Made reservations and everyone was so friendly. Restaurant has a cool, hip and comfortable vibe. Service was amazing in every way all evening long. Shout out to Annabelle who was delightful in every way. There were so many things on the menu we wanted to try. The food was tremendous. Beautifully presented with unique flavors in several standout dishes. Portions were generous too. Chicken egg rolls were solid. The shrimp toast was fantastic and a delightful confluence of textures and flavors. The shrimp noodles dish was tasty. Pork belly baos were very good and filling. Super unique and yummy were the pho soup dumplings. The only mid dish was the garlic miso salad which just didn't hit as well as all the other stuff we got. We had a great evening! Highly recommend!

Finally tried this place - 10/10 would recommend. I like the design of the restaurant and the Asian fusion concept overall. Our server was quick and attentive, and the food didn't take very long to arrive. I went with drunken noodles with chicken - mildly spicy, but still very flavorful and cooked well. For dessert, we got mango lassi cake, which is something I have never tried before, but I do enjoy mango lassi drinks. The cake was very fresh and not too sweet - exactly how I prefer it. I would've liked mango to pop a little bit more, but it was still a great and unique cake. I probably wouldn't go with sushi at this place because $25 per roll is New York level price, unless it is cooked from very fresh ingredients to the highest standard. All in all, a great experience - definitely returning. read more

Soup dumpling were one of the best apatizers I've ever had Sushi and bao bun short ribs were fantastic Atmosphere could have been dark and moody but it was so loud we couldn't hear each other and there was a light blaring down on me in our booth the whole time I had to get out of there after an hour it was over stimulating Server was mid read more

The bao buns never disappoint! Still continues to be one of my favorite spots. I don't know what it is, but I really feel like I am out of town when I come here, ha. I tried the chicken egg rolls for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! They were packed with flavor, and I loved the sweet chilli dipping sauce that it came with. Yum. Get the ginger miso salad and thank me later! Service was great as always (shoutout to Joe), and cannot wait to be back. read more

Really great experience here! We started with the Tempura Shrimp Maki Roll which we both thought was probably the best sushi we've ever had; the shrimp was incredible crunchy yet tasting fresh and still chewy. The Mongolian Beef Noodles fro her, and Kalbi Style Beef Short Rib + White Rice for myself. Both entries were incredibly good. The waitress, Chelsie, was great and helpful with this being our first time here giving us solid recommendations. Being inside of the old Coke building, this place is really charming! The lighting being dimmed with a lit candle, really hard to beat for a date night. 10/10 read more
Mocktails were absolutely fantastic and I loved that they had a nice selection to choose from! Service was great. Our waiter handled me requesting to order a different entree incredibly well. I would go back just to get an order of the chili brussel sprouts because WOW. I also really enjoyed the chicken tandoori. I wish I had thought to take a picture of any of the food I had ordered because it all looked beautiful. There were so many gluten free options on the menu. I really appreciate being able to order an appetizer and an entree with multiple choices for both. It's in such a cute area in Indy and there are so many places to go before or after dinner! Perfect place to add to the rotation for dinner with friends or date night. read more

The flavor was there but food was a bit on the salty side -- Appetizers Tuna tartare 7/10 Tuna and sauce (yuzu ponzu) was good, but the cucumbers were super salty (I like sour and salty pickles) but that was too salty (only ate the fish) Naan 8/10 I like the variety of sauce Soup dumpling 7.5/10 Pretty meaty (other people's pics don't look as meaty tho), good but not mind blowing Bao bun 8/10 Honestly well balanced, meat was on sweeter side Rib skewer 7/10 Pretty sweet and savory -- Mains Salmon with coconut curry and basil oil (not official name) SALTYYYY Dipped fork in curry and lost my appetite bc it tastes like creamy salt with a hint of coconut Salmon = bland Caulilini = steamed and bland All together = salty and burnt tasting Feels like a healthy protein bowl Server was super nice and quickly offered to sub (I got ny strip bulgolgi) Loved the cozy dim vibe of the restaurant NY Strip Bulgolgi 7.5/10 Meat was not as tender as I was hoping but sauce is decent, a bit salty Kimchi potatoes were salty , need to bring home to eat with rice lol bc kimchi flavor was pungent which I like Salmon uramaki roll 8/10 a lot of things going on but I kind of like it -- Drinks palomaadjacent 7.5/10 Tasted sweet (but not syrupy sweet), tequila, Paloma aftertaste and lemon Lychee Martini (off menu) 7/10 Sweet, more lemon than lychee flavor Skip cocktails if you aren't into simple ones -- Desserts Ube ice cream 8/10 I like the caramel crumbles in the ice cream, ube flavor is present read more

Modita has been my favorite restaurant since moving to Indy, but what has truly set it apart is the service you receive while there. During our recent visit, we brought some out of town friends who had a lot of allergy restrictions. Roan, our waitress, took the upmost care in making sure each dish was free from the ingredients in question. Our guests, who are extremely nervous when eating out due to their severe allergies, were so thankful for the care that she took, even taking the time to explain each of the ingredients of the dishes they were interested in. This just further exemplifies that it's not just about the quality of food but how you are treated when trying it. read more

Food is absolutely amazing! The Mongolian beef noodles are so flavorful and delicious! The Bao buns are fluffy and definitely one of my top picks. We also tried the naan and that was wonderful. I've now tried a few of their sushi rolls and they're not my favorite. I would skip those and try some of the other menu items. We also enjoyed both the tandoori chicken and peanut sauce chicken! To finish we had the ube ice cream and that was one of the best ice creams I've had in my life. Definitely make a reservation. Drinks are also great, i love a dirty grey goose martini with blue cheese olives! Service is good. read more

Wanted to order everything from the menu, so many good options. The Pho dumplings, Short Rib Nigiri and the Kalbi Short Ribs were my favorites. I will dream about them for a while. Service was great, ambiance too. The inside is bigger than I expected. Great place to celebrate and come with a group, you will want to share a lot of the dishes. read more
Last week, my son got to try Modita for the first time. Mama here had a concert she wanted to go to and maybe bribed him to join with the promise of dinner. It was a same-day decision so a lot of places were booked, but we snagged a table right when Modita opened up at 5. We had a positive experience and enjoyed all our food- read on for more details. To start, service was quick and friendly. Our server asked if we had any time constraints and so I let them know we had a concert later, but would be ok until about 6:45. We were able be out the door by that time and it was much appreciated. We were sat in the front room which allowed for some people watching out the window. To drink I had the Parisian Dreams and Lukas had the Ube Pineapple from the Spirit Free menu. Both were great. I really appreciate seeing creative spirit free options-both for sober friends and for my son who loves a "fun drink". The dumplings were a good starter. Soup dumplings can be a little hard to find, so it was a good surprise to see on the menu and they all arrived in tact so you got the pop of broth when you ate them. The sauce they were in had a good flavor also. The potato samosa were fried a little heavy it tasted like, but the filling inside had a good flavor. I would have preferred a more complex spice profile- it was missing some of the earthiness for me, but that said, it was still an enjoyable dish. The Tuna Uramaki Roll had more spice than I was expecting and that was a pleasant discovery. The dragon fruit was a fun addition for some sweetness to contrast, as was the mango tobiko sauce. At $24 though, I'm not sure I would order it again. For me, that's a high price point for one sushi roll. Robata grill-The shrimp was really just for my son, but he said it had great flavor and could have eaten more of it. The chicken with peanut sauce was my pick, and it was great. The chicken had a great level of char from the grill and there was ample sauce served with it to dip through. My son who said he was "kind of over chicken" also enjoyed it enough to steal a whole skewer from my plate. I had hoped to be able to get "The Dirty" with gin instead of vodka, but was told it was pre-batched. I don't prefer a vodka martini, but It was solid for a vodka martini. Not Dirty enough for me but probably perfect for a normal person who doesn't typically order theirs "filthy like swamp water" like I do. The olive oil wash gives a great mouth feel and is why I wanted to try it as is. My son enjoyed the Mochi ice cream for dessert, but the dessert star is the Mango Lassi cake. This is just so good and flavorful. read more

This was a fun place to go! If you like Asian food they have a whole mix of stuff- Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Thai- but it's a fusion of flavors. The drink menu was fantastic! We had the Old Fashioned and Little Bee Appetizers were fantastic! Got the Edemame, Kimchi Kimbap Roll, Pho Soup Dumpling. The only reason Im giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because IMO it's a little pricey and the Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice I ordered tasted delicious but didn't come as described (I didn't see a single snow pea, egg or bean sprout- there were a couple of tiny carrot cubes and pork belly). I would definitely recommend this spot. Good for special occasions, but not necessarily weekly dining. read more
First time here and the food was fantastic. We started off with tuna roll, edamame and bao buns -- while everything was great the bao buns were my favorite starter we got. I then got the salmon roll for dinner and it was also great. The salmon on top was cooked, which I wasn't expecting. Figured it'd be raw but it was cooked well and had great flavor. Got dirty vodka martini and that was good and had three big blue cheese stuffed olives. I can't remember the desserts we split. But the lemon bar type was a little too tart and the pistachio one wasn't my vibe. But the whole experience was great and I definitely will be back to try more menu items! read more

The food here was very good and the ambiance is great but giving it a 3 star because the service wasn't the best...my friend got wasabi on the side of her sushi and they charged $5 for it without telling us that it costed extra or costed that much for something that's normally included with sushi...would try it again but would like better service :/ read more
I recently went to Modita and got the $40 three course devour menu + another entree. The devour menu was diverse and included fan favorites (like the bao buns). It did give 2 bao buns instead of 3, but tasted just as delicious. It did kind of seem like the pork belly was cut thinner than usual but I'm not sure if that's accurate. I can't really complain though - the buns were steamed perfectly, the slaw was light and the pork belly had a good amount of sauce. The drinks were great - I really enjoyed the Azolla. It was a really nice blend of flavors that were wintery yet bright and vibrant. It had blackberry and fig infused rum, winter spice syrup, yuzu, lime, lavender bitters, and mezcal. I don't love rum and I actually really dislike mezcal so I was nervous about this drink, but I loved it! It truly was spiced yet floral yet sweet. It was the perfect combination of flavors in my opinion and the smokiness of the mezcal was not the star of the show, which I liked. The aslam wasn't as tasty as I expected from reading the menu. It's Ginger Tumeric-Infused Reposado, plum whiskey, apricot liqueur, lemon, ginger syrup, and Crème De Cassis. For loving all the ingredients, I'm really not sure why I didn't love the drink. Food wise, the abura soba noodles were part of the devour menu. The waitress described it as a broth less ramen, which was perfectly accurate. I think because of there being no broth, the pork, mushroom and bean sprouts weren't as tender as expected, but it was still a really savory, umami dish that was a nice winter treat. The flavors were really good, but if you didn't get the sauce at the bottom of the bowl, you didn't get all that flavor. We ordered the tamarind noodles separately from the devour menu because they're one of my favorites. This time they tasted more like pad Thai than they did in the past. They always give a really generous amount of shrimp, so that's quite nice. The yuzu bar is a classic - kind of like a lemon bar but with yuzu flavor instead of just lemon and sugar? It was 10/10 as always and it was a huge portion honestly. I was super surprised. The staff is always really kind and knowledgeable. They are helpful when asking for recommendations and check on you once your meal has arrived. I had another great experience here and would do the 3 course devour meal again for sure! read more

Thank you for your outstanding 5-star review, Josie! We're thrilled…
My apologies to both Modita and myself for only taking a photo of the menu - every dish I tried was amazing. Went with friends for a birthday dinner and we tried the edamame, naan, soup dumplings, and various sushi (salmon uramaki, tuna uramaki, and salmon, hamachi, and wagyu nigiri). The soup dumplings weren't super soupy, but tasted incredible nonetheless. The tuna uramaki and wagyu nigiri were some of my faves - the wagyu is market price and it's worth the splurge! The atmosphere felt intimate in our booth and can't forget about the great service (shoutout Kyle). Appreciated a little birthday treat at the end of the meal as well. A great place to celebrate, can't wait to try other menu items (and reorder faves) in the future! read more
The ambiance and service are great here, as expected. The naan bread with the three different dips was the winner I think, who doesn't love some fried naan? Bao buns were also pretty tasty though a bit on the sweet side (I guess that's the fusion part of Asian fusion). Short ribs too were a bit sweet. I loved the shishito peppers, roasted with a lot of flavor. Buuuut the chicken and broccoli left much to be desired. For a pretty hefty price tag, we got the tiniest pieces of chicken! Not satisfying bite at all. That was my least favorite dish for sure. Portions are okay but you're definitely paying for the ambiance, the food is not bad, but nothing really to write home about in my opinion (especially at those prices!). read more

Excellent food and an amazing overall experience. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The Pho Soup Dumplings were absolutely divine, and the Yuzu Bar was definitely the best dessert! We also tried the Mongolian Beef Noodles and the Kalbi-style Beef Short Rib, both full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back. read more

We had time to kill one evening so decided to give Modita a try. I was attracted by the inviting atmosphere - it was a warm night and the patio door was wide open. We sat at the bar and tried a few of the specialty cocktails and an order of kimchi fried rice. The cocktails were delicious (and strong). Mine was the Dragon's Challenge (spicy marg). The other was Summer with Aunt Thuy. Not my favorite- a little too herbal but it was pretty and my dining partner enjoyed it. The fried rice was delicious- tasted a bit like the inside of PF Changs lettuce wraps. The service was efficient and friendly. Pricing was a bit high, buy probably appropriate for the area. read more

Do they have patio seating?
Thank you so much for your question, Tatyana! Unfortunately, our establishment does not have a patio as part of the Bottleworks complex. However, we do have a large, warehouse-sized garage door (as part of the historical restoration from the…
