We went to the new sushi modo in Port Moody, and it is officially the best sushi we have had in a long time. Fast, delicious, fish was fresh and great menu. We will be back. read more

I came for lunch while my car was being repaired down the street. I had heard of Sushi Modo, but never made it until this week. OMG fabulous food, I had one of their lunch specials, Bento Box and it was so fresh, and so much food, I brought 1/2 home for dinner that night. The place was so clean, such great servers and service and huge delicious portions. The table next to me had all different items and each one looked delicious and beautifully put together, and we talked together (3 tables that did not know each other), and we all agreed how fabulous this place is. I will be back on the weekend with friends. Thank you Sushi Modo. read more

During my search for various offerings of aburi sushi in BC, this was one of my planned stops after seeing some Instagram photos. While it's not the trendiest or most walkable area of Burnaby, once you're inside you'll be welcomed by traditional wooden decor, a large counter where you can watch the chefs prepare food nearby, and delicious aromas. Although my main focus was the variety of pressed sushi, I also got to try their creamy mentaiko udon and curry katsudon (both of which are great options to eat here). With their aburi sushi, it was definitely hit or miss - some sushi toppings were good, while others were too mushy or the taste was off (either because of the freshness, or the combination of ingredients/sauces...I couldn't tell) . One thing that was consistent throughout all of them was the rice, which fell apart easily and was a bit too oily for my taste. It got progressively more difficult to ignore as we ate each piece. While I fairly enjoyed the dishes they offered, it's a great place to go if you find yourself in the area for other reasons. However since it's more out of the way for me, and with tons of really awesome sushi options in Burnaby, I will likely not come back here. read more

Sushi Modo is a newish restaurant that's popped up in the former Shokudo Restaurant location next to the Amorosa/Greek Santali House on Edmonds Street in Burnaby. The interior is fairly clean with not much changing from the last tenant. Arriving just before noon on a weekday in late September, the restaurant was empty until more noon-hour patrons started to eventually show up. In the background, they had some up-beat k-pop music playing. First to arrive at the table, almost immediately after I ordered it, was the Gomaae ($4) with chilled spinach that had a pleasant snap to the bite and a creamy sesame sauce. Next up was my sushi selection: Hotate ($2.25), Unagi ($2.25), Ikura ($2.25), Negitoro ($1.75), Aburi Saba ($2.50), Aburi Tuna Toro ($2.50), Aburi Sockeye Salmon ($2.50), and Aburi Salmon Toro ($2.50). The hotate (jumbo scallop) was quite fresh and clean and I found that the unagi (freshwater eel) was superbly buttery. The fresh negitoro (a mix of chopped tuna and chives) and ikura (salmon roe) nigiri was also well prepared... love how the salmon roe pops in your mouth releasing the creamy centre. The aburi nigiri selection also turned out really well. While the saba (mackerel) had a slightly firmer texture, it was quite flavourful and had a juicy topping. Normally, I'm more into fatty tuna toro but I found that the aburi salmon toro was the best of the bunch... so buttery! After I was finished with my meal, they brought me out a complimentary aburi ebi nigiri topped with tobiko, Again, a fairly solid piece of sushi with the slightly warmed shrimp from the flame searing. I came back a couple of weeks later and they were playing light jazz music in the background. I wound up ordering the Assorted Sashimi - Chef's Choice ($14.95). The menu says that it comes with 12 pieces but there were 17 pieces on my plate including salmon, red snapper (I think), tuna, tuna tataki, tako (octopus), ebi (shrimp), and tamago (egg). The salmon had a nice buttery texture and the tai and ebi were both quite fresh. While the tako was a bit chewy (leaning towards tough), I really liked the tuna... although the temperature of the tuna was a bit too chilly for me, that didn't stop it from being super buttery. They were also doing a promo while I visited and I received 10% off (not sure how long that will last). On a subsequent visit, I decided that I wanted to try some of their other dishes so I ordered the BC Roll ($4.00) which had an ample amount of BBQ salmon skin as well as some crunchy cucumber pieces. The Don Ko Chi ($10.95) ramen is basically a tonkotsu ramen where the soup is rich and creamy from boiled pork bones. The soft egg added to the richness of the bowl as the perfectly prepared yolk provided a silkiness to the noodles and soup. The pork chashu was pretty good (not the most tender that I've had but an adequate job) and was a bit thicker than at some other restaurants. I finally managed to come back to this restaurant a few months later and decided to try their Aburi Sushi Combo ($14) which consisted of saba topped with a fried garlic chip, ebi topped with tobiko, unagi, tuna, hotate, and salmon. This was such a good selection of aburi nigiri with the unagi, scallop, and salmon being so buttery. After having tried tuna collar in Japan, I figured I'd give the Salmon Kama ($6.50) a try. Fish collars, although sometimes thought of as throwaway trim, are actually some of the best parts of the fish. The collar extends behind the head and the gills of the fish and usually includes the fins. There's actually plenty of meat in this area and much of it is super rich and fatty. I was actually a bit surprised at how much meat was in this dish considering the price. The grilling processing definitely brought out the butteriness that is so prized with this cut. Overall, very solid eats at this restaurant... hope they last. read more

It's a quaint place with not bad sushi, can't complain. The sashimi was pretty good :)

I really wanted to try new sushi places this year, and this was a good first go! The 3 of us shared the 13 piece assorted sashimi, salmon avocado roll, the 6 piece aburi combo, aburi popping roll, and the mentaiko cream udon. Total bill came out to around $70 which was not bad. To be honest I was kinda skeptical about the sushi after seeing that they use a machine to actually press the rice onto the seaweed, but the rolls turned out great. You really can't go wrong with aburi sushi, and theirs is no exception. Everything tasted very nice and fresh. The most disappointing dish was the udon. I was hoping that they would give at least a tablespoon of the pollock roe, but when we got the dish, it was more like 1/3 a tablespoon, and we could hardly taste it. Overall the restaurant is above average by Burnaby standards, and we would come back again!! (I also like that there isn't your typical strong vinegary smell in the restaurant, like most other Japanese restaurants) read more

At the corner of 6th and Edmonds Street, this Korean-Japanese sushi restaurant provided friendly and prompt services. They have a large menu - appys, salads, tempura, sashimi, rolls, aburi, don, hotpots, udon, soba, ramen, teriyaki and bento boxes! Their specialty rolls are fun and full of ingredients. The mango tango was on special and the portion was huge! The most unique was the dark knight roll: spicy crabmeat and cucumber topped with pan-fried seafood with mozzarella cheese. Honestly, it had a tad too much going on. Though I appreciated the creativity. We had to scoop up the sushi with spoons because it was so large to grab and eat. For the aburi, the black pepper on the saba along with the garlic & green onion meshed well. I regretted not getting the BBQ eel - maybe next time. The interior is nice. Can fit a medium size group and plenty of small tables. My only minor complaint is lack of air conditioning. Or I'll plan to come on a cool day as I wouldn't mind trying their other food on the menu! read more

Meh is what this place is. The nigiri sushi was small. Sushi Gardens, for example, gives you twice the size. And you wouldn't know I was eating toro sushi. The rolls were also meh -- compared to a place like Sushi Oyama. The Miso soup was good, but it's hard to mess that up. I also should mention that there were way too many people inside during this time of a pandemic. Overall, disappointing. I would really like there to be another really good sushi place in South Burnaby to experience. read more

Must try place! Taste & Presentation is over 9000! Salmon Oshi Sushi melts in your mouth! That's some luxury you got to enjoy. The bento box for lunch looks good! Tastes good! Comes with salad, whole roll of California rolls (EIGHT pieces!), beef teriyaki has RICE at the bottom! That's insane, not just bean sprouts or nothing like other restaurants. The tempura was battered and fried to perfection! Comes with FRUITS as desserts! True luxury! Unbelievable. The chicken karaage was the hot and juicy! No pain no yummy! You got to get tongue burnt but it's all worth it. Try it, taste better than some chicken places ;) New favourite go to sushi place! It's in the middle of no where ,but wow. You gotta do what you gotta do. Full = Happy read more

Great food. Easy online ordering. Nice people! We feel grateful to have a quality sushi restaurant like this in our neighborhood! This is a must try! read more

Haven't actually eaten here (or been here physically in person), but this has been our go to place when ordering delivery lately. Mainly because it's close so the delivery fee is cheaper, but also because of how good it is! My boyfriend is absolutely in love with their beef aburi, while I love their tuna rolls (basic, I know). The portions are decent for their price, seafood is fresh, and the taste is amazing. Of course this doesn't compare to sushi in Japan, but it sure hits the spot when all you can think about is sushi...which is...pretty much all the time... read more

I was surprised how great quality their fish is here as there's not much good sushi in Burnaby. Their salmon oshi can be worked on since the rice was a bit oily that that the board was wet. However, the nigiris were very good! Love how the rice ratio is small so you can taste a lot more of the fish. Overall, this would be my go to sushi place if I'm in the area as it is a budget friendly joint with substantial ingredients! read more

May be my new favourite Burnaby sushi restaurant in a slightly out of the way location. Got take-out the other night, very nice aburi oshi sushi, great sauce flavour and nice bite from the jalapeño. Spicy tuna sashimi had a great sauce and nice dressing on the greens and a good tasty unagi roll. Chicken karage was a bit overcooked, but ok. Will definitely be back. The restaurant is quite large inside with lots of seating. Street parking nearby or across the street after other shops close (careful for some 24 hour reserved spots). Good size menu with lots of other items to try. Only took about 15 min to prepare my takeout order. Currently closed on Mondays but the sign on the door says that will change soon. read more

This has become one of my favourite sushi spots hands down. The salmon oshi and the tuna tataki are my favourite dishes to order. I have also tried the aburi sushi and the scallops were delicious. There is also a tuna tataki version of the salad and I love that the salad has fruit. The garlic chips on top of the tuna is what always makes me want more. The restaurant is very open, inviting and spacious. It isn't overly crowded for that reason. The staff are friendly and the service is great. Overall I love the food and the environment. read more

Miso soups was very watery. Scallop rolls did not have much scallops and for some reason it was slimy. House roll with deep fried prawn in the centre and spicy tuna on top was just ok. Again the spicy tuna had a slimy texture to it. Chicken teriyaki did not have any sprouts ? Just finely chopped cabbage? Tasted ok. Short ribs lacked flavour and needed a sauce or should have been marinated properly. Takoyaki could have been crispier. Garlic Unagi Oshi had too much sweet sauce and the garlic over powered. Your better off getting the unagi nigiri as you get double the unagi. Prawn tempera was delicious! Loved this. One stand out that is insignificant to most people, but is one of the most important to me is the sushi rice and the rice that came with the Teriyaki chicken and short ribs. It was absolutely perfect, the texture was chewy and the grains were perfectly cook. I would not come back again as I feel it is overpriced for what we got. My table agreed that Sushi garden and Sushi Oyama are better in regards to quality and value for your money. 4 of us total with tax and tip, no beverages $95.00 read more

Ordered them for takeout and they've never disappointed both before and during covid-19. Had the awesome / ocean rolls , sashimi portions, all made faster than their estimated time. Worth supporting, which is why I wrote this review. read more

Salmon Oshi and Aburi Popping Roll are a solid 10/10. Super mouthwatering that I get cravings for it, lol. Sushi Modo serves high quality fish and is a nice treat when I'm craving sushi or seafood. Definitely recommend and will be coming back! read more

I have been here at least 10 times and have never left disappointed. I even go there by myself sometimes when I have a craving for sushi. My favourites are the wakame salad, vegetable udon (substitute with ramen noodles), and avocado salmon roll. The plates, cups and tables are always sparkling clean. The service is great! read more

I'm probably the pickiest sushi eater ever. I've tried so many places in Vancouver and have often left so disappointed. The sushi and just their menu items in general are probably the best I've had in my life. Fresh, flavourful, good quality ingredients, not too saucy and not fake tasting; just totally delicious. I couldn't be happier to have found this place. My new obsession! read more

Sushi Modo opened about 8 months ago in the Burnaby Edmond area and it is a great little sushi gem! Came here early around 6pm on a Friday and the restsurant was very empty but it quickly got very busy with an hour. It was nice my husband and I came here early as the food came out really quickly and the waitress were very attentive! We couldn't resist ordering a bunch of oishi sushi and aburi cause they looked sooo good! We ordered the aburi sushi combo, salmon oishi sushi, volcano roll and house special roll. They were all really good! And I really like how they don't over do the sauce like a lot of other Japanese restaurants. My fav has to be the aburi sushi combo in particular the ebi aburi in there! Something about the sauce and aburi they make that is especially tasty! Their price is very reasonable ranging from $12 - 15 for their specialty rolls and aburi. Will definitively come here again! read more

This place won't have folks from Vancouver making the trek out for it, but if you're in the area it's a very good choice. Bento specials are great, everything I had was tasty. I also ordered two pieces of nigiri (toro and unagi) both were fresh and not sitting on too much rice. I would say that service was a little slow for a lunch, but the servers were very nice and attentive. Overall, if you're in the area and need sushi, this is a great choice. read more

So I came here for a late lunch with my sis since I heard that there was a new Japanese place near my home. The food is delicious and filling with reasonable prices. And the menu is filled with various selections, not just your typical sushi. I rarely talk about the service but at Sushi Modo the service was quick and the people were attentive and friendly. A comfortable and relaxed atmosphere great for lunch or dinner. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Good fried pork dumplings. Donkuchi was a bit weak in the soup and not much meat. Maybe I went for early dinner so soup was not quite ready yet? The meat was sliced marinated pork belly. Only four pieces there. I was expecting Japanese style of chasiu... The noodles had a bit of lye water taste. I was a bit disappointed as I had very good donkuchi in another Korean restaurant before. read more

Just visiting in from abroad and felt like sushi. Sushi Modo popped up as the top option on google so I decided to give it a try, and wow was I impressed. I showed up a bit after dining hours were done and they still showed me hospitality and served me food even when they didn't need to. The food came very very fast and it tasted great. All in all 5/5 do recommend. read more

Excellent place for Korean style Japanese food. Best restaurant in Burnaby/new west for non sushi cravings. Although their sushi is pretty darn good too. Also has koerean hot soup. Great service. read more

Good food. Love all the effort on playing and taste. Price is okay. Not the best in the city but doable. Ramen was Terrible though (only 3 different kinds). Service was exquisite. I appreciate that they come very very often to pour tea in your cup and not have no wait for anyone. Parking is terrible. Decent space to eat. Covid protocol is in place. Kind and welcoming staff. These guys won't forget to say HELLO and BYE to you. That's rare for more resto. 4 star because parking sucks and ramen was bland af. Other than that, great! read more

Sushi modo is a great place to satisfy your sushi cravings, and it will most likely not disappoint! It was my first time coming here today and I'm glad I made that decision at the recommendation of a few friends. Since I had to grab something quick and go, my friend and I opted for take out and ordered the spicy salmon donburi, the favourite combo (spicy tuna roll, California roll, and dynamite roll - all for about $13), and one order of chicken karaage to share. Total cost came to about $30, but it was worthy every penny. They even threw in a miso soup for us. Sushi modo is a comfy, decently sized Korean-run restaurant serving a mix or Korean and Japanese fare. The service was fairly efficient and friendly. We waited for about 25 minutes for our order to be prepared, mostly because the restaurant was packed, and for good reason. The rolls were all on point, made with fresh ingredients and with care (mostly). The only negative thing I could make out was that my dynamite roll started to fall apart early on in the meal, probably due to it not being rolled tight enough. Rolls are the perfect size - not too big, but not too small either, and they don't cheap out on ingredients. The shrimp tempura in the dynamite roll wasn't freshly deep fried. The tuna in the spicy tuna roll had a great texture and the perfect amount of spice. My friend had the spicy salmon donburi whic,h according to him, was satisfying to say the least. The portions were on point and I love that they don't cheap out here. The real highlight of this meal for me, however, was definitely the chicken karaage! It's perfectly seasoned, the chicken inside was moist and tender, and the outside was the perfect balance of crunchy, flakey, flavourful, and not overwhelmingly thick. You don't wanna miss ordering the chicken karaage here. ORDER THE CHICKEN KARAAGE. Overall, a satisfying first experience with sushi modo. If I'm ever in the area, I would love to come back and try the other items on their menu. Great value, good service, and great food! read more

Sushi Modo is my new favorite in Burnaby! This place is clean, has attentive services, and serves really good solid rolls, aburi sushi, fresh quality sashimi, crispy meaty kama, and spicy flavorful seafood tofusoup!

I'll be bringing my family and friends here and become a regular. read more

Still open for takeouts and delivery, not sure when they open, but they close at 9. Called ahead cause I was craving and had to wait an hour til I could pickup, which is understandable. Great sushi and chicken karaage fix! read more

I ordered from skipthedishes.com and was quoted 33-40min(ordered Chicken Teriyaki, Dynamite Roll, sockeye sashimi and Miso soup$40 after delivery fee). While confirming the order It was stated that the restaurant needed more time (55min). I immediately requested to cancel the order and I got the following: "Because the restaurant has started to prepare your order, we won't be able to issue a refund if you cancel. We can still cancel the order without a refund or you can choose to proceed with delivery. What would you like to do?" So I am going to receive food that was made 55min prior? Most restaurants on skip the dishes enable an immediate cancellation if they extend the delivery times. read more
