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 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.
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.
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!
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.

Just get the dumplings. They revamped with a coconut base and mint leaves to add on top of each dumpling. Impeccable. The gm/owner checked in on us a handful of times even with a busy night. We will be back. 10/10 read more

This may be one of my new favorite restaurants. The service was great and the ambiance is nice but dim. The food is so delicious! I had the Pork belly Bao Buns and they were phenomenal! I also had the Sweet and Spicy chicken and was really good but a little salty. For my cocktail I chose the Azolla. Im a huge fan of Black berries and Mezcal so it was perfect. read more

I travel to Indianapolis annually for work & this is one of the best meals I have had in the city. The space was dark and brooding - but made it also feel cozy & sophisticated inside. I hope to remember the first bite of the shrimp tamarind noodles forever - it was that good. A delicate balance of the sweet & savory with a fresh burst of lime. I also highly recommend the tuna tartare - the fish was fresh & we got a great shareable portion for the price. Not pictured, but also ordered at our table was the Mongolian Beef & the Chicken Tandoori. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food & the strong flavor profiles of all of the dishes. Additionally, our server was excellent - provided recommendations, answered our questions about ingredients in dishes & was overall just added to our pleasant dining experience. read more
My sister chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday in. My mom made a reservation and the staff continuously wished my sister a happy birthday which always makes for a good experience. I went with the appetizer of the bao buns and the entrée of Mongolian beef noodles. The bao buns were an excellent starter. They were soft, and the pork belly was extremely tender and flavorful. The Mongolian beef noodles was a great dish as well with nice flavor and a nice amount of beef. I was able to sample some of the dessert as well. I tried the Yuzu bar and some of the mochi ice cream. I much prefer the mochi ice cream as I thought the Yuzu bar was a little tart. The restaurant has a dark and semi loud ambience, but it seems like a nice place for a date night. read more

Staci, thank you for sharing your detailed experience at Modita. We…
Modita is a fantastic spot for anyone looking for a meal packed with flavor! This is an Asian fusion restaurant with an upscale vibe which never fails to amaze me. I went during happy hour and was able to share the edamame and brussel sprouts since they provided us with huge portions enough for 3-4 people. I also ordered Bao buns as my main meal and they were kind enough to make a vegetarian friendly version for me with tofu which is always a win in my book! I cannot recommend Modita enough if you love Asian food or are looking to try something new! It is located across the Garage and be sure to make a reservation if you can as many love Modita! read more

LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!! Birthday celebration for a large party. The service was good despite we had a party of over 10 people. The variety of food was amazing! I ordered the Tofu & Shrimp Green Coconut Curry, the BEST I've had to date! The restaurant is located at the Garage. Although there is free lot parking, weekends are extremely so be prepared to wait or grab a meter. read more
OK SO GOOD! I picked my mom (a self-proclaimed foodie) up from the Indy airport and wanted to treat her to a nice meal before heading home. We landed at Modita and MAN it hit the spot! No drinks this time, but we started with the potstickers and they were fantastic! We were both indecisive so we decided to split two entrees: the Mongolian beef noodles and the Shrimp Tamarind Noodles. The Mongolian beef melted in your mouth and tasted like it had been cooking all day. The shrimp dish was a like a twist on pad thai and the candied peanuts were such a great addition to it. We have not had a meal that good in awhile and Modita has quickly jumped to the top of my favorites list for dinner in DT Indy! You can expect any restaurant from the Cunningham Group to be good, but this was top notch! Definitely check Modita out the next time you're in the Bottleworks District! read more

Our experience at Modita was outstanding! We were staying at Bottleworks Hotel. After driving in from Cincinnati, we had no plans for dinner. We considered room service, bit I noticed Modita was pretty much two steps away. We hopped on the elevator. We exited to signs pointing to the restaurant. We didn't even need to leave the hotel! We did not have reservations, obviously. Though we arrived just as they were opening, I was concerned, but the staff were more than accommodating and sat us right away. Before talking about the food, which was extraordinary, I have to mention dining experience itself. Courses were served slowly and purposefully. After each, our table was cleared. Fresh plates and silverware were placed before the next course. The experience felt so special. I quite honestly felt like we're were royalty. It was very special. And now the food. Everything was so very, very good. To start I ordered a Meguro Sakura - Cherry Blossom Infused Absolut Vodka | Shochu Citrus Liqueur | Raspberry | Ginger | & Pink Peppercorn Shrub | Yuzu | Lime | Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters | Yuki Sparkling Sake. It was fantastic Mark had the miso soup, which he enjoyed. I had the Ginger Miso Salad, which was absolutely delightful! Appetizers followed. We ordered Pork Soup Dumpling (5 Pc) Black Garlic | Ginger Vinegar - Wow! I have no words these were extraordinary! For dinner I ordered the Ahi Tuna and Mark had the Mongolian Beef Noodles. Seriously,never y bite was a perfectly yummy moment. I don't recall, what we ordered for dessert, but I do remember they were both extraordinary! Any future trips to Indianapolis will definitely include dinner at Modita! read more
We visited here last night for dinner to celebrate my sisters birthday. We had made a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant has a modern Japanese theme with well organized dining tables. Our server was incredibly friendly and explained the menu thoroughly. This month the restaurant was offering the Devour menu, so I decided to start with the bao buns (so tasty), my entree was the soba noddles(flavor was a bit lackluster) and dessert was mochi ice cream. Overall it was a very nice dining experience. read more

10/10 recommend! Service was amazing and food was even better. We started off with the Garlic Naan bread this is made fresh in house daily. It is served with 3 different sauces. Personally love the whipped feta with chili oil. Then we shared a Shrimp Tempera roll; it comes with 8 pieces didn't get a full picture of it. Lastly ended with the chicken skewers; comes with three in total and the Brussel sprouts. The menu is designed for sharable. Absolutely will be back, can't stop thinking about the Leche martin! read more

One of my favorite places in the city! I just CANT get enough of their amazing Gyozas (the dough and sauce on top is just sooo flavorful!) and their BEST dish the Yakisoba noodles. Please do not expect authentic Asian - this place intends to have unique twists on dishes often combining flavors from their fresh greens wall feature. Service is excellent and attentive and the prices aren't bad for downtown Indianapolis - the bar feels classy with about 7-8 seats. This place can get super busy with sometimes 2 hour wait times in the evenings.. be sure to make a reservation. OR you can visit Duckpin Bowling/shop at the local shops while you are waiting! Excellent area of town for an entire evening of fun. read more

Had dinner here with a foodie group that I belong to. It was a very good meal, PanAsian cuisine. It was Devour Indy week so I stuck with the Devour menu. The restaurant is very pretty and I parked near the entrance on the street and paid for parking with my Park Mobile app. This is also next door to The Garage (a place filled with vendors, restaurants, bars) and they have a parking lot there as well. We had a reservation which is highly recommended during Devour week. We were seated in the back corner and had a group of 7. They promptly took our drink order and we settled in. I had the albacore tuna tataki, the Chana masala, and the ice cream trio. I did not have a cocktail on this trip as my diet did not allow for one :( but settled for an unsweetened ice tea. The dishes were certainly picture worthy as everything was beautifully presented. The 1st course was the Albacore Tuna Tataki and it had pickled daikon and carrot, scallion, and ponzu. Very pretty dish and tasty as well. My 2nd course, again chosen because of the new diet I am on, was Chana masala without the chicken or tofu added. It was chickpeas, Yukon gold potatoes, cilantro, and white rice. A very saucy dish but good. The 3rd course was the ice cream trio, ube Heath bar, champagne mango, coconut sorbet. OMG that ube Heath bar flavor was outstanding! My total bill under the Devour menu was 47.42 and it was worth giving it a try. I liked it, not sure I will go back because my list of restaurants to try is incredibly long but definitely at least worth going to try once! read more

First time eating at one of the side restaurants by the Bottleworks, tricky to get the right door. Beautiful restaurants with lots of stunning things to look at. Service was amazing, above and beyond. The Soup Dumplings were the best thing on the menu . The king salmon was perfect, but I'm not sure it was worth the cost. Do not get the Cowboy sake , worsr sake ever, tasted like dirt and leather read more

Let me start off by saying that our service was incredible! Our server (Camilla) was great and gave us the full rundown on the menu and what some of her favorites were along with the things we must try as first timers here.The atmosphere was dark and moody, which is my favorite. We did a big variety of food - buns, egg rolls, dumplings, pot stickers, wagyu steak, kimchi rice, and the chocolate cake for dessert. It was all very good! I did feel like (while delicious) some of the food lacked some standout flavor. For example, when I think of kimchi rice, I would have expected maybe a bit more sour or standout flavor to it - but it just tasted like normal fried rice to me. The steak was cooked to perfection and was definitely the highlight. I also thought the dumplings stood out between all the dim sum we ordered. We will definitely try this place again and hit some of the other menu items we didn't get to! read more
I looooove Modta down. The Asian fusion works so well. Great mocktails and always great and thorough service. The portion size is great. It's a nice vibe for a date night or anything intimate. Works for random outings too. read more
This was the perfect birthday dinner spot. The food was delicious. We were able to order tapas or family style and split everything. Their drinks were also really good. Ambience was a perfectly intimate to celebrate a birthday with my husband. The service was great! Our wait was quick and super nice. He offered us some suggestions and they didn't disappoint. Don't come expect your normal Asian dishes, but these were a great twist on the originals. read more

I came here for my graduation dinner on a Thursday night at 7:30 pm. We were seated immediately and welcomed by our waitress. We decided to eat our dinner family-style, meaning we shared all of the dishes. We tried several of the dishes including the: - edamame (has a sweet/sour sauce) - crab rangoon - tuna uramaki roll - salmon uramaki roll - this was the BEST of the two rolls, I wished that I ordered 2 of the salmon rolls instead of the tuna roll - tofu & shrimp green curry - a delicious curry that's very creamy with a little spice; comes with choice of rice - mapo tofu with lotus - a bit on the spicy side, but not too overpowering - wagyu skirt steak with charred bok choy - I was told that this was the BEST wagyu (I didn't eat any, but everyone at the table loved it) Their portions are generous and you can tell everything is freshly made. They offer such a good variety of Asian cuisine and I would love to come back to try more! read more

Perfect girls night spot! We had reservations and were seated immediately. Everything on the menu sounded amazing so we ordered a bunch: brussels, bao buns, potstickers, soup dumplings, crab ragoons. The highlights were the brussels and the bao buns! I would order just those next time and be happy. We however didn't like the crab ragoons at all as the filling was more soupy and very fishy. We also ordered four different entrees and they were all yummy! We will be back. read more
You may need a flashlight walking into modita on a sunny day. The ambiance is that of a speakeasy. It's dark and moody but with excellent food. A friend and I got the bao buns to share and we couldn't get enough of them. They had a bbq like sauce and the pork belly was so tender and flavorful. We split the tempura tuna roll that they had on special and liked it well enough. For our main course we had the sweet & spicy sesame chicken. The dish had a lot of flavors and you could definitely get a couple good bites of pineapple. This restaurant is perfect for a date night. The menu is all asian inspired dishes so if you don't like those flavors this might not be for you. We had great service and had a lot of attention to filling our drinks and clearing the table. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. Great food, service, and ambiance. We went for a girls night birthday dinner and could not have had a better time. We ordered A LOT of food and every single dish was perfection. The food came out in waves which was nice because we were constantly eating. The water staff filled our waters consistently and our wait checked on us very thoroughly. We ordered: Naan: Delicious. Served with three dips but the whipped feta was by far our favorite. Soup dumplings: Just like you see on the internet. Perfectly juicy and the sauce was a great balance with a little kick. Edamame: The chili sauce was nice and these were very light. Bao Buns: The pork belly was tender and the slaw was very refreshing. Shishito Peppers: The sauce was very refreshing and they were cooked perfectly. Chicken: Peanut sauce was amazing and the chicken was nicely grilled. Probably my personal favorite thing we ordered. Shrimp: Delicious with the coconut sauce. Very light and well balanced. Shrimp Tamarind Noodles: Like your typical shrimp pad thai. Could've used a bit more sauce. But the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Mongolian Beef Noodles: Juicy and the beef was delicious. Yuzu bar: Like a lemon bar with a crème brûlée crust. The berries were a perfect addition. I could not speak higher of this place. Absolutely amazing. HIGHLY recommend. read more
