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.

Usually this place is 5/5 and one of my favorite places in Indy. Just had an off night. Korean Corn Dogs only come around once a year, but ours weren't very warm when they got to us. Drinks took 20+ minutes. Bao buns were good but not as good as usual.. jam packed with the cabbage mix. Kimchi fried rice had a burnt taste. Shrimp on the sushi roll was over battered. Like I said, typically one of my favorite places but they just had an off night. read more

Arie, thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are glad…
We were wandering around downtown and decided to take a chance and see if we could get in at Modita. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We did not have a reservation and they moved things around so we could be seated right away. Everything we ate was spectacular. I could eat the salmon roll 100 times. Even on a hot summer night, it was dim and romantic inside. We loved it. read more
We were visiting Indianapolis and looking for some good eats and man we stumbled across the right place! Modita is a wonderful place for some upscale Asian fusion food! Their menu is simple yet effective. With just a few items under each category, every thing we tried was *chef's kiss! Our server was super chill. Us being new to the area/restaurant, he gave us a quick rundown of the menu and recommended his favorites to us (we tried them all)! We started off with 3 drinks, the Nekojita (super sweet yet strong), Rising Tide (a kind of twist on the mojito), and the Domo (heavier on the liquor than the other two). We ordered the bao buns and the soup dumplings as our appetizers. I've got to say, the soup dumplings were one of our favorite soup dumplings we've ever had (we try these everywhere we go!). They were packed with flavor, a little spicy with the chili oil but it blends in so well with the other flavors. The bao buns were extremely fluffy and the pork well marinated. I wish there were a little bit more slaw on it but it was still amazing. For our entrees we ordered the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu and the Hamachi Uramaki Roll. The Miyazaki A5 only came with 3 little pieces so definitely plan accordingly if 3 pieces won't fill you up! The flavor of the A5 however is immaculate. Our waiter was going to grab the soy sauce for dipping but honestly you really don't need it with this dish. The flavoring is 100%. Definitely makes you appreciate the meat and how it was prepared. Hats off chef. The hamachi uramaki roll was also quite something. As a sushi lover, I've got to say this is one of the best rolls I've had in awhile. The yellowtail paired with Asian pear, garlic chips and pear aioli was just the most amazing combo. You can taste each element in this roll within each bite and it harmonizes so well. I honestly would come back just for this roll alone! For dessert we got the yuzu bar and lychee sorbet. The lychee sorbet wasn't my favorite. They topped it with a bit of salt and in my opinion it kind of ruined the sorbet for me. However, my partner loved it so i guess it depends on your palate! The yuzu bar was my favorite of the two. I'm not big on lemony dishes, but this was exquisite. Paired with the Graham cracker crust and the berries, I was in heaven. I was so full by the end of this meal I didn't think I could finish the bar but it was so good that I just HAD to. I loved the detail in each dish. The micro greens and flowers used to garnish the drinks and the dishes were also homegrown by the restaurant (there is a greens wall in the restaurant that adds to the aesthetic)! I was super impressed by all of it and would come back if I was ever in Indianapolis again. 100% would recommend to anyone in town with a palate for Asian cuisine! read more

Incredible meal and overall experience! We had reservations on a Monday at 7:15 and I was pleasantly surprised by how lively the atmosphere was. I'm sure it's packed on the weekends! Our server, Aaron, was fantastic. We ordered several dishes and each was timed perfectly. After a delicious cocktail (Arigato for me, Mezcal for my date) we started with the tuna tartar, which was very fresh. Next came the soup dumplings, which I was most excited for. Great! Then we tried the filet off the robato grill section. This was the highlight of the meal and I will definitely order again. And then two rolls - hamachi and tuna. Next time, we'd only order one roll, as we were stuffed! The hamachi was my favorite. We were way too full to have dessert there, so Aaron packed up a delicious yuzu lemon bar dessert that we enjoyed later at home. Beautiful time! read more
My husband and I went to Modita for our anniversary dinner during Devour. I'd been wanting to try it for a while and this was the perfect opportunity! We started with a delicious pandan cocktail, nigiri, and the fried chicken wonton (unfortunately not pictured). For our main course, we had the wagyu and salmon. And then we finished with the yuzu bar and ice cream trio for our desserts. The Ube Heath was our favorite of the ice creams and my husband wished he had a big bowl of that on its own! But, my goodness, every part of our meal was amazing!! The service was too perfect and the ambience was lovely as well. We were seated quickly and had a comfortable booth/table with nice warm lighting in a spot that was nice for conversation. The location in the Bottleworks district is great for a date night too. We can't wait to come back! read more

My fiancé and I recently visited Modita for dessert and cocktails, and we had a fantastic experience! We decided to sit at the bar, and the staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I was unsure about which drink to order, but they took the time to discuss a few options from the menu that they thought I might enjoy. They also recommended two desserts, and I have to say, the Ube ice cream was absolutely amazing! Please please try it when you come in! It was not only delicious but also had a unique purple color, which added a cute touch to the presentation. And if you have some extra room, also get the Yuzu Bar because it was well made and had a unique sweet and tarte flavor. My partner and I definitely will be back! read more
Food: was really tasty! I had dumplings and they were yummmmy! The flavor was hitting! Service was really nice he explained things, was rushing us, made wonderful recommendations! The ambiance was so quaint and calm. It was very comfortable. read more
Modita was magnificent!!! Started off with some fried brussel sprouts. By far the best I've ever had! The flavor is out of this world. I also tried the bao buns and all I can say is... keep em coming! Then for my entree I had the salmon which was truly a delicious end to my evening. Anna was our server and she truly was such a sweetheart with an amazing and upbeat personality. If you are looking for a yummy yet chill vibe for dinner, need I tell you where to go? lol I can't wait to go back!! read more

Had an amazing experience here! Our server was super knowledgeable and explained the menu perfectly. The pork soup dumplings are an absolute must, we ended up ordering a second round because they were so good. The green beans were good but would probably skip them next time. The Lychee Martini (not featured on the menu) was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. Mongolian Beef Noodles were super yummy. I got free ice cream mochi because it was my birthday and the passion fruit mochi was insane. Overall vibe and ambiance of the restaurant was cool. Highly recommend checking this spot out! read more

Everything was absolutely delicious for our night out at modita. We ended up spending a few hours lounging at this restaurant with amazing food and drinks. The vibes were *chefs kiss * . I started off with a Lady of Tani cocktail that was exactly what I wanted - a light refreshing sweeter cocktail. My second drink later that night was the Rudra, which was such a smooth, coconut-based drink. We ordered a few appetizers to share as a table. The edamame was a great starter, coated in a garlic-chili salt what was so flavorful. The pork bao buns were so pillowy soft with the nice contrasting crunch from the coleslaw that tied beautifully with the flavors of the pork belly. I loved the spicy kick from the pork soup dumplings. The salmon roll tasted so fresh. The Hamachi Uramaki Roll was a unique veggie roll w Asian pear and garlic chip. Everything tasted great! We had such attentive service throughout our meal. They really hit the mark: not overly pushy, available when we needed them, and helpful with all of our questions. They also recommended great drinks based on our individual preferences. Will be back soon to check out the dessert menu! read more
We took a chance on trying this restaurant on a whim and I am very happy that we did! Our meal and drinks were divine. The waitress told us all about the vast offerings of the Cunningham brand and took plenty of time discussing food options with us. Allergies were also addressed at ordering and upon food delivery to the table. During my next visit to Indianapolis, this will be a place I will be sure to visit. read more
We have been here three times. We really like Modita and if Asian Fusion is your thing, you're sure to like it as well. I loved the miso ginger Salad and the brussel sprouts. The bao buns were a smash hit. The salmon was delicious but the brown rice was very boring. The short rib special was just okay. The service has always been excellent here. The Cunningham Group does an excellent job training their servers. We made reservations and were promptly seated. On our future visit, I will avoid the main entrees and just share the appetizers/small plates or try a noodle/rice bowl because I've never been blown away by the entrees. But I will be back for sure. read more
Came here for my birthday dinner and it was the perfect spot for a fancy meal with some friends! Love the ambiance and vibe of this place. Parking is a little difficult on a weekend evening with all the construction going on, but it was worth it. For appetizers we started with the chicken potstickers and mapo tofu. The potstickers only came with 3 pieces but they were able to add one extra since there were 4 of us, so that was nice. The potstickers were good but the tofu stole the show! It was tossed in a chilli sauce that had a kick to it but was so flavorful and delicious. The edamame is a great option too and it's tossed in some salt and spices, and the sushi options are great to split as well and it's super fresh. For entrees, I got the chicken yakisoba noodles and it was so good! I loved that it was saucy and not dry. The filet is also delicious here, it's coated in an Asian-type sauce and served with wasabi flavored mashed potatoes but not actually spicy like wasabi so you get the flavor without the kick. They also gave us a free dessert for my birthday, we chose the chocolate cake which was so decadent and amazing. The yuzu bar is their specialty but I'm not a big fan of citrusy dessert. Also loved the presentation of everything. Overall a really great spot right on Mass Ave! read more
We had an excellent meal and experience here. Giving serious side eye to Mr. DeAnna P's 3-star review. I thought the portion sizes were perfect. I think so many places give you enough for 1.5 to 2 servings, so it almost seems out of place for them to give you exactly enough. I left pleasantly but not overwhelmingly full. Our server, Aaron, provided excellent suggestions on cocktails and food. He was very attentive and friendly. The food came out reasonably fast considering how busy it was. The atmosphere was on the loud side, so coming here for an intimate meal may not be the best. If you like sour, I highly recommend the Healing Spirit cocktail. It is lemon and VERY tart. Similarly, the yuzu bar they offer for dessert is very tart, which is hard to find in a dessert. It has a brûlée top, too. read more

Thank you for your 5-star review DeAnna! I always appreciate when…
Finally made it out to Modita in the Bottleworks as part of Summer Devour Indy, and boy I was not disappointed! We had a 3-Course meal starting with the Hamachi Nigiri with Black Tobiko and Smoke Seasalt, the rice was a little loose but the fish tasted fresh and loved the added Smokey saltiness. I upgraded my entree to the Australian Wagyu and it was delicious, the sticky rice wasn't what I was expecting but loved the umami flavors - it was more like a fried sticky rice. The meal ended with the trio ice cream (Strawberry Basil, Ube, and Mango) the ice cream was rich and flavorful. All for $35 (plus up charge for the wagyu) was a great value and a wonderful way to try out Modita. Otherwise, you can expect to spend a little bit on the higher side for all three items a la carte. Atmosphere is chic, and we got seated pretty quickly for a 7pm on a Friday Night. I would make reservations though if you're in a time constraint or want to guarantee a spot. Service was great as well! read more

Ok this place is fantastic! The Buns, and Brussels sprouts are a must for starters. The kimchi fried rice, the chicken and peanut sauce, and Mongolian Beef are wonderful. We finished with a Yuzu Bar. Ok so we made it through the snow to find a warm and inviting staff and place, seated promptly. We meandered through our meal and were taken care of by Brooke, who was epic. By the time we left this wonderful place was filled up with people on a snowy nasty night. This should answer whether or not it's worth going....ask for Brookes area she will take care of you! Will definitely be back read more

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we truly appreciate you…
We came here for Valentine's Day and started at the bar. Due to the evening, we knew it would be busy and we wouldn't get a lot of interaction with our bartenders. This is usually fine with us. We each ordered a drink and by the time we got them our table was ready. Deanna was our server and did an awesome job. We ordered the egg rolls, Bao Buns, tangerine chicken, and shrimp and curry crispy noodles. Everything was delicious, well timed to the table, and we left full and happy. The food was delicious and even with some of my changes to the dish, it came out perfectly. Next time we go we probably wouldn't get the shrimp curry crispy noodles again. It was good, but we left craving something different. However, that didn't disappoint or ruin our meal in any way! We cannot wait for our next visit. read more
The incredible service provided by Andrew (the bar/beverage manager) was truly outstanding...he went above and beyond to accommodate our needs! The bao buns are still my favorite dish...so flavorful! The ahi tuna entree was also delicious, as was the tuna sushi roll. Excellent cocktail menu...crimson rite and espresso martini are on point! read more
This swanky spot opened recently in the Bottleworks building. Located steps away from Bottleworks Hotel, The Garage Food Hall, Living Room Theatre, PINS, and the wonderful shops on Mass Ave, it's a fun spot to be. The restaurant has been super popular, so I'd definitely recommend getting a reservation in advance. You can book on their website, but if you have eight or more people, you'll need to call them. We had a group of eight and got given a cool private room (which I believe you usually have to pay drink and food minimums to get). Because it was Devour Indy week and probably busier than usual, they used this room to seat us, which made it a really fun and private dining experience. I ordered a cocktail, app, and items off the Devour menu: + Amethyst cocktail: ube, white rum, Velvet Falernum, citrus, bitters, soda - purple and delicious! + Bao buns: pork belly, Asian slaw, miso aioli - definitely order these! + Soup dumplings: pork belly Shang Tang soup, black garlic, ginger vinegar - okay but probably will try something new next time + Loch Duart Salmon: comes with a marinated cucumber salad, brown rice, and a hoisin glaze - this was great! + Yuzu bar: Graham cracker crust, ginger macerated berry, meringue, Thai basil -- it's definitely sour but I loved the crust! + Mango sorbet - delicious! Our server was amazing and I'll definitely be back to try the Korean corn dogs and sushi! Congrats on another great restaurant, Cunningham Restaurant Group! read more

I love this place! I've been during Devour week and a few times on normal weekdays/ weekends. The cocktails are rotating and I always ask our waiter which one they recommend. They've never given me a bad recommendation, so I'm going this stick with that strategy. I'm convinced the best way to experience the menu is to get a bunch of different dishes and share it family style. You get to try so much more food, plus it's fun! The bao buns are the star of this show!!! A little sweet, a little savory, and oh so good. I've tried multiple sushi rolls and the shrimp tempura is by far the best one. I love coming to this place and trying new items every time. Overall, the ambiance is relaxed and so beautiful. The staff is great and always super honest about the menu. I would recommend making a reservation, it's usually pretty busy. read more

My family and I visited Modita during Devour Indy. It was a great experience, and definitely one of our favorite Cunningham restaurants. It was nice going in a group because we got to try a little bit of everything, and we walked out satisfied! For the appetizers we got the following: -Korean Corn Dogs - I could eat these over and over again! I wished if they would serve these at the state fair lol -Miso Salad - Himachi Roll -Chicken Egg Rolls - probably the one item that was below average for us after trying the others. - Pork Belly Bao Buns - this is a must!! The pork belly was so soft, and the bao buns were made perfectly! For the entree we tried tangerine chicken which lacked the tangerine flavor and couldve used some more spice. The tamarind noodles were good similar to pad Thai! However, my FAVORITE entree was the chickpea curry! It was way better then any Indian restaurants in town. The spices and amount of coconut milk were well balanced! read more

This five star rating is an update to a review made several weeks ago. As is sometime the case, an outstanding restaurant can once in the while not be perfect. Such is life. However, an outstanding restaurant with outstanding management will acknowledge mistakes and make every effort to make it right. This was accomplished by General Manager, Matthew when insuring that my niece and her husband, as well as her parents enjoyed a night of exceptional food and service. Arranging for the best table in the house and a top server named Josh to take of them, guaranteed a dining experience that was absolutely on point from beginning to end. read more

Popped in recently to grabs to apps and shareables for a romantic blanket picnic at home with my bf. I ordered the Korean Corn Dogs (3 out of 5), the Bao Buns (3 out of 5), Soup Dumplings (4 out of 5) and Modita Fried Rice, no edamame, add shrimp (5 out of 5). It was my first time having the Korean Corn dos and the low-ish score is because it was a texture thing for me. I really enjoyed the spicy mustard though. The Bao Buns were disappointing. I come here specifically for the bao and 1) the slice of pork belly was literally half the normal size and 2) it was DRY! I wanted to cry. The soup dumplings were good and the fried rice really hit the spot! The addition of the shrimp really set it off. I hope the bao is better next time, otherwise I'll be forced to stop ordering it. read more

Awesome! In town for work and came in for dinner. Staying at adjacent Bottleworks Hotel. Wasn't sure about the place and had not read any reviews. Just cold outside and was looking for a nearby place for dinner. Really great food! read more
Another great CRG restaurant that delivered on delicious food, great service, and overall an amazing date night. The food is modern upscale Asian fusion. As an Asian American, I was admittedly kind of skeptical, but I'm glad I gave Modita a chance! Everything on the cocktail menu looked delicious but we settled for the one with San toki whiskey, Aleppo pepper, pineapple juice and more. I'm not a huge whiskey fan and this was very well balanced and not overpowering. One of the best cocktails I've tried. We tried their robota grill mapo tofu that was so unique. Apparently Modita is one of the few restaurants that has this grill in the country. From what our waitress described, the grill gets up to a really high heat and does an excellent job at caramelizing the outside. The tofu was crispy on the outside but warm and soft on the inside. The sauce was moderately spicy and very flavorful. A unique twist on a classic! We also tried the popular tamarind shrimp noodles, which is similar to pad Thai. This was unexpectedly one of our favorites. The best part were the shrimp. These were jumbo sized and cooked to perfection. We also tried their king salmon sushi roll. I loved all of the toppings and the garnishes that added to the bite. Fish was fresh, not fishy at all. Prices were slightly elevated, but isn't everything expensive nowadays? Definitely worth every penny. I can't wait to come back and try some more delicious cocktails and other menu items! read more
Today we visited Modita to celebrate our anniversary. We were immediately sat and greeted by our server Evan. Evan did a brief detailed description of the menu and brought out our food in a fast timely matter, his acts of service were spot on. One thing I quickly noticed was how exquisite the service was, not only from our server Evan but the rest of the staff. Our table was approached by 3 different servers that helped fill our water and clear our tables. Evan was a kind generous man and he highlighted our evening. For starters we got the Salmon Nigiri and Crab Rangoons. The Salmon Nigiri was a simple high quality dish that prepared the flavor palette for the food that was to come. I can say the same thing for the Crab Rangoons, it was a fresh high quality dish that came out hot and ready and was paired with a sweet and spicy sambal sauce. For our entrees I ordered the Wagyu Skirt Steak and my significant other ordered the Shrimp Tamarind noodles. The Wagyu Skirt Steak was remarkable. The steak was cooked perfectly throughout and was tender and flavorful. The steak alone was high quality and had no fats. My partners Shrimp Tamarind noodles were flavorful and the ingredients in the dish paired perfectly with eachother. He also noted that the shrimp was one of the best he'd had in his life. Finally for dessert we got the Chefs Seasonal Choice which was chai ice cream. I'm a HUGE FAN of chai and I can tell this was pure chai not artificial. The presentation was lacking but the taste was there. Salmon Nigiri: 10/10 Crab Rangoons: 8/10 Shrimp Tamarind Noodles: 9/10 Wagyu Skirt Steak: 10/10 Chefs Seasonal Choice: 6/10 read more
Modita might just be my new fave! I have been meaning to visit Modita for quite a while and I'm happy to say that they were worth the wait! The experience begins from the moment you enter the restaurant. The modern rustic decor is warm, welcoming, and appealing. From the host to the wait staff, the Modita team is friendly and welcoming, doing what they can to ensure a quality experience for you and your dining party. I love that there is a variety of seating spaces available, from private nooks to larger, more open spaces - one of the benefits of re-purposing an historic building. The food was an absolute treat. It's definitely some of the best Asian fusion cuisine I've had. Drom starters to entrees, my palate was pleased. The signature drinks were also a complete delight. Modita is joining a select few on my list that make up my faves! read more
I love the Cunningham group restaurants, some of my favorites are Provisions, Rize, and Bru Burger. Modita seemed like a slam dunk since I'm a big Asia foodie fan and this is their take on Asian Fusion. The ambiance is great and located in the supercool Bottleworks Hotel. We started with the Soup Dumplings which were a bit gummy and had very little soup (key ingredient), 4 pieces for $12 is a but overpriced in my mind and not in line with Michelin Dim sum restaurants in NYC. We also tried the Bao Bun that was very good, a huge portion of perfectly cooked pork belly was in each bao. The Wasabi tuna roll was an interesting take with Wasabi greens and Wasabi peas and fish roe on the roll. We had 2 noodle dishes that were not on par with what you want from great Asian noodles. The umami noodle had very little pork belly and was not flavorful. The tamarind noodles looked great, a pad Thai version but again not very flavorful. We also waited 15min for the server to bring my wife's wine-not sure what the holdup was. I will continue to visit other Cunningham restaurants but probably not this one. 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…
