Have heard high praise for Modita and finally made it out last night with a group of 4 for dinner and drinks. Was not disappointed! Everything from the staff to the atmosphere to the food and drink was excellent. Super friendly and knowledgeable waitress. Though the menu is priced on the higher end, it is worth it for the quality. We ordered the kimchi pork belly fried rice, cold noodle salad, beef dumplings, chicken satay, short rib nigiri, egg rolls, shrimp tempura sushi, and shrimp drunken noodles. Sake for the table. I am salivating just thinking about it. Everything was phenomenal!!! I will gladly come back another time.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Came here to celebrate better half's born day. Nice cozy place. Short description: a place with flavorful food. Long description: Started with 2 starters. Korean corn dogs. This was enjoyable, especially with the cheese inside. Could have been better with the hotdog size though. Then chicken satay, which is very well flavored. The sauce also adds colors to your taste buds. This was my fave. Followed up with their famous Bao buns and shrimp shumai. You really can't go wrong with these 2 in terms of seasoning and flavor. Not to mention very filling. Then the main courses. I got the shirt rib. The meat was very tender, marbled, juicy, and very well marinated. It's all meat btw. And wife had the tangerine chicken, the serving is humongous. It was also flavorful. Ended the night with a free desert (cotton souffle cheesecake) for the celebrant. The night was filled of happy taste buds and a happy tummy. No outdoor seating unfortunately. read more

Let me start off by saying how much I love that this addition to Mass Ave (and Bottleworks) is walking distance from our home. Second, it's hard to go wrong with a Cunningham Restaurant - they kill it in the customer service department (along with design, menus, etc.). The thing that I loved most about Modita is that despite being an Asian-centric menu, they offered up several vegan and vegetarian options clearly noted on the menu which is key for someone with a severe fish/shellfish allergy. It certainly makes the experience 10 times more relaxing. I'm pretty sure we ordered everything on the menu but a few standouts included my mocktail version of the Suburban Birdcage (ya know, because I wanted to pretend I was on an island vacation), the sweet and sour beets on the appetizer menu (vegan), and heirloom tomato salad (vegan). I wasn't able to try it but my dinner companions loved the bao buns with grilled pork, miso aioli and Asian slaw. The mapo tofu I had was quite tasty and I appreciated how they shaped the rice nuggets into cubes similar to the tofu. Our server was very helpful and hospitable and the space was beautifully decorated with low mood lighting and a gorgeous tile selections throughout. Next time, we'll save room for dessert ;) read more
Holy moly! We had such a stellar meal here. They have a great looking cocktail menu. I went with the Suburban Birdcage- very tropical and suuuper good. For appetizers, we had the Spicy Tuna TarTare sushi and Bao Buns. The Bao Buns were out of this world and the sushi was also delicious. I had the Umami Noodles and really enjoyed the salty pork and edamame. My husband had the Tamarind Noodles and liked it but thought the sauce was a little too sweet. We finished with the Black Sesame Ice Cream that came with chocolate ganache. It was very unique. It tasted a lot like mint ice cream and the ganache was rich. The perfect ending to our meal. Next time we come, I plan on ordering more of the appetizers and sushi. The entire menu looks so good. Our service was friendly and quick. Can't wait to come back! read more

I ordered the veggie gyoza appetizer. It comes with three dumplings topped with sprouts and it was sitting in a chili sauce. The gyoza itself was tasty but flimsy and almost too squishy. It doesn't seem like a shareable appetizer. I also ordered the Maelstrom cocktail. Most of the other cocktails didn't seem like they would be very sweet or fruity but this one wasn't either. I probably wouldn't order it again. The restaurant itself was very dimly lit bordering on dark, actually. read more

My last experience at Modita was absolutely horrible. We had a reservation for 7:30 and did not receive food until 9:30. As the food starting coming mind you we specifically asked for all food to come at once.. the food coming out was COLD! It was almost like the food had been sitting there. Ice cold bao buns literally were gross sent that back. Our tempura shrimp was cold sent that back as well. Sucks because modita is a restaurant I typically rave about but the service has literally went DOWNHILL! read more

The flavors were bold and enjoyable and we're looking forward to going again to try more items. Due to a gluten free diet I was left with limited options, but everything had great flavor and we're looking forward to our next trip. read more
I'd been wanting to try Modita for weeks and was so excited to finally eat there! Maybe I built it up too much in my mind, but I think it's overhyped. And I really hate writing that. We started off with the soup dumplings- they get four stars! Salty, savory and absolutely delicious. I don't know how they compare to other soup dumplings but I will get these again. My main meal was the tikka masala, which is really what brings this rating down. It was okay. Nothing great and really lacked spice and that yummy cilantro goodness you usually get with this dish. Dessert was good and we actually tried two things! My friend did not like the marshmallow pudding at all, so the nice manager brought up a Yuzu Bar and that was a real winner. I thought the sesame caramel sauce was great on the marshmallow pudding, but she did not agree with me. However that lemon, berry and basil combo on the Yuzu blew the pudding out of the water. So my recommendation: go for the soup dumplings and desserts but eat a main meal somewhere else. read more
I really wanted to like this place, but this place is highly disappointing. Normally Cunningham restaurants take classic meals and puts a unique twist on it. They did the same with Modita - taking classic Asian food styles and trying to put a twist on it. The problem, of course, is that most Asian food is quite flavorful on its own and the twists were not tasty . Tried the crab rangoons - which looked very nice - but tasted just alright. As if several different flavor profiles were mashed together and so there wasn't one clear, enjoyable flavor. Also had the Tikka Masala dish - for an Indian dish spin-off, this "curry" had no spice, salt, and barely any flavor at all. Also, it's a little annoying that the restaurant opens at 4pm even on weekends in a busy area around Bottleworks. Overall, the restaurant is decorated well and the food isn't /terrible/. Service was great. But if you want to have nice Asian food, probably just go to an Asian restaurant. read more

The food here was incredible. We got bao buns (9.5/10) , fried brussel sprouts (7/10), soup dumplings (8.5/10) and short ribs (12/10). The service was amazing, our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Vibes were immaculate. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Another Cunningham hit! Modita was on my hit list and WOW! I wish I hadn't had waited and gone sooner! The food is Asian inspired which I absolutely loved. The vibe is trendy which is a good addition to the bottleworks space. And the service was amazing! You totally need to check this place out and go with a group because you'll want to try everything on the menu and each dish is perfect to share. Everything we had was delicious, but the fan favorite was the sliced 12 ounce ribeye. Get it rare and you can thank me later. I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu!! read more
Modita If a new Asian restaurant opens up I'm there. Oh they have rangoons? Definitely there. Wait a second. You're telling me they have Maine lobster rangoons? Say less I already pulled up lol. Got a chance to visit Modita yesterday which is another beautiful addition to the bottle work area. That place has became a major vibe with everything that's opened up lately. The ambiance was great, service was wonderful, and boy do they gotta a dope bar with some good drinks. However, more importantly let's get on to the food since I've wasted enough of your time : Pork bao buns: I think my table gave the consensus that this was definitely our favorite app. Soft bao, well cooked pork, and a nice bed of Cole slaw = absolutely beautiful Main lobster Rangoon: I mean what can I say? It was crispy. The lobster had a nice flavor to it and overall it tasted quite nice. I also enjoyed the sauce it came with Kimchi fried rice: the rice was good. The duck egg was the perfect consistency for me. I enjoyed it, but the next entree was the star of the show for me Drunken noods: my friends and I think this could possibly be our favorite drunken noods in the city. They were so flavorful. Each bite really smacked you in the face. If you want a kick you can ask for some chili! Insanity lo mein: do you like spicy? Order this. Our mouths were on fire, but it burned so good. I especially liked it because the spice didn't overpower the whole dish Overall: I really enjoyed my experience! The entrees are affordable, but the dim sum is a touch expensive imo (some were more than entrees) which is a shame because they're delicious. Still worth getting and still worth trying though! read more

The food, ambiance, and service is great at Modita! The food is Asian fusion style. If you like mushrooms, I HIGHLY recommend the mushroom appetizer. We also ordered a really interesting sushi roll that was absolutely delicious-- hamachi uramaki roll. SO GOOD. This is a Cunningham group restaurant so you can't go wrong! Recommend making reservations in advance. read more
We dined in at CRG's newest restaurant, Modita, a few weeks after it opened its doors in some space adjacent to the recently developed Bottleworks Hotel. The space is beautiful on the inside with an awesome looking bar and intimate lighting. We had a pretty good experience as CRG continues to kill it with their establishments in Indy. Before dinner, my girlfriend and I each had a couple cocktails. I had the Warrior Sunrise which is on the sweeter side. We split Bao Buns and a sushi roll for an appetizer, both of which were great decisions. The Bao Buns had delicious, tender pork belly in between soft steamed buns. The main lobster roll was also delicious and I think we got our money's worth with ten large pieces (relative to the $17 cost). For dinner, I had the Bison Short Rib Bulgogi, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. The grilled bok choy I had on the side was the only food item that missed on the evening; it was not super flavorful and I wouldn't order it again. The only thing I thought was a little weird was the lack of acknowledgment for the reason we were dining in - my girlfriend's birthday. I put it on the OpenTable reservation notes that we were celebrating her birthday that evening, and I also made a point to announce it to the server at the beginning of our meal. He didn't respond with anything (not even a "oh, happy birthday!"), and it was not mentioned the rest of the evening. It could just be him - he was definitely not very friendly in general - but I thought it was weird and was at least hoping for a dessert to come out with a candle. Not this time I suppose, it's not the end of the world. I will be back very soon at Modita to try some other unique menu options. I hope we have a more friendly server next time around, and I'll probably consider other restaurants for fun celebrations, saving this one for a regular evening out. read more

Hello, Drew! We're glad you had a good first experience at Modita.…
A lot of people have raved about this place so I was excited to come check it out. The restaurant is located right in the Bottleworks district by Garage Food Hall. They serve Asian-fusion/inspired food. To be honest, I thought the food was fine. I have had better Asian food and prefer a more authentic place. I would say to come here only for the vibes. We got Shrimp Shumai, Soup Dumplings, Eggrolls, and Chicken Satay. I personally didn't think the Shrimp Shumai was very good. The Soup Dumplings had no soup in them... it tasted more like a dumpling. The Chicken Satay were pretty good. I got the Yakisoba noodles and added shrimp. It came with 3 pieces of shrimp. The noodles were extremely long. Again, nothing special. Overall I probably wouldn't come back. I know I can get better Asian food somewhere else. read more

The food was 4/5 and we had to wait to get our waiters attention when we wanted something. The drinks were nothing special- we had had better at other places.

Everything was right at Modita. Food, service and ambiance were spot on. Our server Jo answered any question we had with specifics, made honest recommendations, and was attentive without being overbearing. Every plate we received was SO DELICIOUS!! We ordered Samosas as appetizers, entree Chicken Yakisoba Noodles, Brussel Sprouts, Salmon with Coconut Milk/Thai Basil Oil Sauce, and for dessert the Yozu Bar. Jo explained the flavors to a "T" - she could be Culinary writer! Presentation on all was beautiful but most of all there was a flavor experience in every bite!! . All dishes were so very pleasant. The party of 12 sat behind us was loud, and the acoustics in the room not suited for this, so it was unfortunate. But this won't stop us from returning if in the area, or highly recommending to anyone who is in downtown Indianapolis!! read more

Came here after not knowing what to eat for the evening and was pleasantly surprised. The minute we walked in we couldn't help but take in the dim lit cozy vibes. We were quickly seated and served menus. We ordered the veggie gyozas and it was absolutely delicious with the crisp chili oil. However, the star of the night were the tamarind noodles. It had the perfect balance of salty and sweet and the noodles were cooked to perfection! Our waitress was extremely sweet and attentive and brought us a dessert menu at the end. The chocolate cake was decadent and the tartness of the raspberries came through. Overall great experience and service, will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food and good service. We ordered the tempura shrimp maki sushi and the chicken yakisoba noodles to share. The sushi was very good and I was surprised that the shrimp was on top rather than inside the roll, but it was still pleasant. The yakisoba was also very yummy and my father ordered the shrimp tamarind noodles which he said he preferred because of the sweetness. We also ordered the chef's special ice cream which was guava and strawberry. In addition to the food, the decor and feel of the restaurant was really nice. Will definitely come again to try some different dishes! read more

Phenomenal!! I will be thinking about this meal for a long time! I was lucky to go with people who love to order many things to share. We ordered all of the dim sum items. My very favorite were the bao buns. They were truly one of the best things I've ever eaten! An absolute flavor explosion! You have to try them if pork belly is your thing. The soup dumplings were my second favorite. Every part of them were seasoned to perfection! The short rib gyoza came in third place and then the lobster Rangoon were my least favorite. Honestly you can't go wrong. Everything was incredible! We also had an order of the soft shell crab as an appetizer. It was also delicious! For meals we ordered the kimchi fried rice, tuna, waygu beef and short rib bulgogi. The bulgogi and the kimchi fried rice were the stars of the show for me. I personally am not a big lean steak fan, so the wagyu wasn't my thing. Everyone else at my table loved it though. Run...(don't walk) and try this place! read more
A friend highly recommended so I decided this was where I wanted to eat for my birthday. Great decision. I encourage you to make reservations for weekends. Samosas were a chef special of the night. Contemplated those or the buns. Went with the samosas and they were incredible. The menu featured a number of dishes that I would have enjoyed. Opted for the tamarind shrimp. The shrimp were decently sized. The portions were good for one person. My husband got the tikki masala and it was flavorful. We left room for dessert. Get the Coca Cola Chocolate Cake. That chocolate mousse was my favorite thing of the night. Great ambiance and the restaurant doesn't feel packed when all the tables are seated. read more

Hi Tisha, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are…
My friend and I came across this place while walking down Mass Ave. Modita is located right off Mass Ave across from The Garage. When we arrived, we were prepared to wait as we seen the restaurant was full. We didn't have a reservation of course but host let us know he would have a table ready in just a few minutes. We were really happy about that! It is stunning inside! This is definitely a great place for a date night or girls' night. It was dimly lit, and the dark color scheme is perfect. When we were seated, we took a minute to look over the menu. I ordered the miso soup, miso salad, chicken with peanut sauce, and a side of fried rice. I also ordered a cocktail, but I did not write down the name of it. It was so good! Everything that I ordered was phenomenal. I thought the portion size was great for the price. The waitress was attentive and made sure to check on us frequently. For dessert the waitress convinced us to order the coca cola chocolate cake as it is very popular. I was skeptical at first, but I was happy with the choice. I could barely taste the coca cola! I am not big on the flavor cherry, but I liked it with the cake. I truly enjoyed my experience at Modita and I know I will be coming back very soon. Side note: You can get some great pictures in here! I love the wall paper in the entry way between the front doors. read more
I have been wanting to try Modita for a while and finally got to last week. The food is a little pricy, but the quality is great. Loved the soup dumplings and the pork kimchi fried rice. The cocktails were good as well. I enjoyed the one with the chili oil on top. I wish they had a better selection of sushi. I would come back for a special occasion meal. read more
A very cute and intimate place! Was seated upstairs which was a no no! It is next to the kitchen and it was so hot we were all sweating! Went on a Friday night so it was busy too! The service was good as there was multiple people bringing you your things, but everyone was nice and got whatever you needed. The espresso martinis were good. The chicken skewers were amazing!!! the sauce was so good it was hard to share. Got the salmon, Mongolian beef, and noodle bowl and everything was delicious. Will be going back. read more
Seriously, how does CRG do it?! How do you create a restaurant empire that doesn't have a single terrible restaurant??? I have been wanting to come here as soon as they announced Modita was opening. Of course, right before arriving, I had anxiety about what to order because if my stomach could bear it and it wouldn't have cost me hundreds of dollars, I would've ordered everything on the menu. We started with the soft shell crab tempura which the table proceeded to eat every little bit of, even the last peanut crumb and drizzle of sauce. We also ordered Bao Buns and Soup Dumplings which did not disappoint and only left us wanting more. Fatty, crispy pork belly in the buns and garlicky broth oozing out of the dumplings - this is my jam! My entree was the Kimchi Fried Rice and a side of the mushrooms which to no surprise, was amazing. The rice was perfectly cooked with a great hint of spice from the kimchi and the soft-boiled egg just mixed everything together. As of lover of shiitake mushrooms, I couldn't get enough. I mixed in some with my fried rice too. You cannot go wrong with Modita! read more

I really think I gotta do it. I will not lie to you there were drinks involved so ....do with that what you will but all things considered I felt royalty. Ok over all is say staff wise, amazing, who ever is in charge of that deserves a raise. My guy Tim was so amazing, also kudos to the chef, they're absolutely killing it. Onto food, I was with my mom and aunt, (aunt is gluten free), so staff everyone was super great accommodating. Like just doing a sauce on the side or something. What u really care about: food! Asparagus really didn't rock my world, it's what u would expect Tangerine chicken- it's good, lighter than orange chicken, beware of though of huge water chestnut things, if u don't like you might be annoyed Wagyu Nigiri..... for obvious reasons this was outstanding Crab roll - I was pleasantly surprised and impressed in terms of sushi standards read more

I was so happy to have found this restaurant open late at night. Our waiter was excellent. On top of the excellent service and food recommendations, he also gave me hiking recommendations and areas to explore when in Indiana! I got the edamame, bao buns, spicy tuna tartare, and the tamarind noodles. The edamame and bao buns came out first. The edamame was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I enjoyed the crispy texture of the pork in the bao buns. The miso aioli tied in all the flavors well. The spicy tuna tartare was great. The sake marinated cucumbers added great flavor to the dish. The tamarind noodles were cooked well. They had a sweet taste, but it did not overpower the dish. I also had one drink, the hyacinth. The drink was refreshing! The presentation of the food was beautiful. You can tell that the chef's enjoy plating the food. I will definitely return when I am back in the area! read more

The food there never disappoints me! My friend out of town came for a visit so I took her there And she loves it And she constantly talks about how good the food is after. This time I order wine. It has great texture Bao Buns is my favorite My friend loves it too! We love sushi too And soups dumplings. We went around lunchtime and there are not too many people at that time I am that a fire alarm went off but it wasn't the restaurant it was the hotel that was connected to the restaurant. It was pretty loud at that time. The server was very nice and apologize for the loud noises which was very kind of them. The food is always 100% this is a place where I would love to go every single weekend my favorite spot is The food and the Vibe in the restaurant. read more
