    Menu at the counter of Modoo Teriyaki

    Been coming to Modoo for 15 years and I nor my friends have NEVER been disappointed!!! Always fresh and tasty, not like all these other Teriyaki places popping up everywhere that cut corners and have really changed the taste of what should be a standard in good Teriyaki.

    Best Japanese food in south hill - Sang gave great service! He was awesome & he takes great care of all customers - To Go orders included!

    $38 for 2 lunch meals. Teriyaki chicken decent, General Tao's overly fried, chewy sweet, no spice. Katsu good, overpriced.

    Well, first off the prices are higher here. No lunch specials offered like most others. I could see if you're getting dinner portion to match the dinner prices for lunch but it's a very standard portion. We are used to having enough to save some for snack or another meal, this was not. At $38 for two lunch meals (no drinks and just 1 w/salad) I'd call that pricey. The teriyaki chicken was decent being tender w/some char flavor and did have some sauce on it, although a bit sweeter than we prefer. Salad just iceberg w/ok dressing, rice a bit on dry side. My General Tso's was over fried, dry and mostly chewy, disappointing. The time to put together the order was impressive, while at counter he had 3 other orders coming in yet had ours ready within 10 mins. The bad thing is they are still using STYROFOAM!! That was banned at start of year!! That alone is reason not to support, using cheap unhealthy packaging illegally yet charging top dollar. Sad

    Spicy chicken teriyaki
    Jonathan B.

    This is spicy chicken teriyaki it is 15$ after tax but oh yeaaaa big portion of chicken plus they have teriyaki sauce on the table!! That's a big big plus because everyone loves the teriyaki sauce so you know this place will let yu have as much sauce as you like! This isn't too spicy so I decided to get extra extra spicy and he asked what level I was surprised he agreed because most places don't ask NO EXTRA CHARGE I'm like wow but so much meat enough to take home and for sure fill your belly this place is good and great portion blue collar union worker here and I APPROVE. Also gave me free soup when you eat here inside WOW!

    Count your days modoo.... What is this???

    What is this???? Where is the sauce??? The chicken was basically rubber! So gross. Terrible. Horrible. Nasty.

    chicken and rice in a styrofoam container

    Ordered delivery, cost $56 for 2 white chicken teriyaki dinners plus delivery. Ok, I get it, nothing is cheap anymore. But, this was the worst food. The chicken was a pile of dry, overcooked chicken with no teriyaki sauce. Nor was there any side of teriyaki sauce. Tasteless pile of dried out white meat chicken. What a waste of money.

    Amazing Sushi, Stellar Presentation... but a Loyalty-Points Plot Twist…read more We stopped in for happy hour at Trapper's Sushi and honestly, the food delivered exactly what we came for. The Salmon Skin Roll and Mr. Charlie were absolute standouts -- presentation on point, flavors bold and balanced, the kind of rolls that make you pause mid‑bite just to appreciate the craft. And of course, you can never go wrong pairing it all with an ice‑cold Kirin Ichiban. That beer just gets along with everything. Service at the bar was smooth, friendly, and quick -- no complaints there. But here's the curveball: Even though we were ordering during happy hour and in the bar, we were told afterward that we don't earn points on happy hour purchases. That was never mentioned upfront, and nothing on the menu or signage hinted at it. For a place that pushes its rewards program, that feels like something guests should know before ordering. It's not a dealbreaker -- the food is still fantastic -- but it's definitely something management should clarify. A simple note on the menu or a quick heads‑up from staff would go a long way. Overall, great food, great drinks, great vibes... just wishing the loyalty program rules were a little clearer.

I ordered the Sushi Regular, which comes with 10 chef-picked Nigiri. Sadly, the only fish on that plate that was super fresh was the Tuna. The Yellowtail was very discolored around the edges, had a slight fishy odor, and tasted like it waz about to go bad. The Super White was not as creamy as it typically would be if fresher, but both were still ok to eat. I ordered a Spicy Scallop hand roll, but what came out was a spicy imitation crab hand roll with a couple tiny pieces of something (hard to tell bcs it was minced.) I sent it back bcs who would pay $8 for imitation crab? I do want to point out that this place is trying to pass off Tilapia as Red Snapper. Tsk tsk. It even says it on the menu. Wow. The Miso soup was typical. The Gyoza was flavorless and overcooked. On a positive note, the Spicy & Spicy roll was fantastic. Service: The server/waitress was amazing! Aside from that, this place can do better. No greeting from the chefs when you walk in. When I asked if they would please give me fresh Yellowtail to add to my order, they stated all they had available was what was in the case. BAD! If you have a saavy customer asking for fresh fish, you make it happen bcs it's your opportunity to make things right! The prices do not match the quality here. I had planned on ordering food to go afterward, but changed my mind. Overall, I may give this place another try at some point bcs everyone has "off" days. 3 stars...the extra star is purely for the outstanding server.

    I took 3 of my kids for a sushi dinner tonight. We walked in at 8:15pm, asked if you were still…read moreopen (were told yes), so we sat down and were given menus. We started grabbing plates off the conveyer belt and 7-8 mins later, when the server walked back, I tried to order some additional items off the menu. We were told that we couldn't order off the menu since you were about to close at 9pm. (Mind you - we weren't trying to order anything fancy, we wanted California rolls that weren't on the conveyor belt) I asked if the server could double check, she never came back to confirm if they could be ordered or not, but the sushi roller guys were awesome and came back with a plate of California rolls. I would have ordered 2 orders if the server had bothered to ask how many we wanted - but she didn't, so I asked the sushi guy if we could have one more. He said it wasn't a problem and was great at resolving that "ordering off the menu" issue. In the middle of eating, a different server (head server tonight?) was cleaning up and asked if we could pass over the soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger containers. We get that the restaurant was closing soon-ish, but we still had almost 30 mins left until closing and were getting uncomfortable feeling like we were being rushed out. When it was time to checkout, we asked if they had military discount. The girl said "I don't think so?" so I had to ask if she could verify. (they do offer military discount by the way) In the end, I asked if I could speak with a manager. There was no manager so I asked for the next person in charge which I'm guessing was the head server. She came out and I explained how we were disappointed to be sat down with menus, yet not able to order off of said menu. (What's the point of being given a menu if you can't order off of it??) If we were told the kitchen was closing soon from the get-go we could have ordered asap. It was the server's 3rd day on the job, so for sure want to give some grace, but at the same time, I wanted the place to know that maybe there were some training issue that could be addressed - which is why I wanted to mention it to a manager. After explaining our issues to the next server up, she didn't apologize one bit or seem to care really. So, putting all this on here in hopes for management to see it and: 1) let customers know from the get-go if they can't order their meal off the menu 2) don't ask customers to start passing over condiments in the middle of their meal while you're trying to clean up while the restaurant is still open 3) train staff to know if military discount is offered 4) if issues arise train staff to be problem solvers har a customer service mindset. Sushi guys were great, but servers just seemed to want to close up and leave TLDR Food was good, overall experience not so much, customer service lacking
