Modita

The dirty martini was perfectly balanced, and I enjoyed all the dishes we ordered except for the dessert and the oily naan. The mango cake had an odd imitation crab meat flavor, which was quite off-putting. I’m giving four out of five stars for service. Our main waitress was amazing, but some of the other staff gave us judgmental looks when we initially said we would stay and later double-checked the closing time with our waitress. We didn’t mind leaving once we confirmed the closing time, but the behavior of those staff members left an unnecessary impression.

Great night at Modita celebrating an Anniversary. The Shrimp Toast was delicious (see photo after two pieces had already disappeared!) The food was great, the staff was kind and attentive. (Thanks, Chelsie!) We will definitely be back!

Another excellent restaurant in Indianapolis serving unique dishes and quality cocktails with an elegant atmosphere! The food is a creative asian-inspired fusion - there are so many good items that it is hard to pick. The cocktails are elegant and delicious, many with beautiful floral flavors. This is a great choice to celebrate something or for a date night! Definitely recommend the pork soup dumplings, robata grill chicken with peanut sauce and ube ice cream.

The food, the service and the atmosphere were phenomenal. Our server and the rest of the staff took great care of us through the whole experience. It was her first time coming in but it felt like we were family friends. They also were very on-point when suggesting drinks to pair with our food order. The food had a decent amount of spice and fantastic flavor and texture all through. Finally, the mochi passion fruit ice cream was crazy good, and vegan!

I would rate Modita a solid 3.5 stars. Let's start with the pros first: - very nice setting, lively atmosphere - friendly and helpful staff - creative cocktails Now for the food which had mixed results: - Hamachi nigiri was disappointing; the rice was hard and the fish lacked any flavor - Bao Buns were drenched in sauce (I believe it was a plum sauce) that made them too sweet for my liking - Ora King Salmon was delicious; the coconut sauce really complimented the fish Overall an above average experience.

Not sure what all the hype is about this place, but it definitely broke my heart. I tend to go to chicago a couple of times a year & never leave without having soup dumplings in chinatown, so being from indy, this place has been on my must try list forever. Came here for my birthday & I was so disappointed. To start I won't blame my server for the extremely slow service since it was a busy saturday night, but my god everything is extremely slow here. My boyfriend & I ordered 5 items & intended to get it all together & share. We were advised that our food would just come out as it was finished, i said that was fine thinking it'd probably stagger 5-10 minutes between dishes coming out. However it was more like 30 minutes between everything. (25 minutes in) We first got the crab lettuce wraps & a tempura shrimp roll, those were pretty good. Next came the soup dumplings, supposed to be the highlight of my night, they were just warm, very doughy on the top & the taste was just okay. The pork bao buns came next, room temperature (& okay taste) like they had been sitting in the window waiting for anyone to bring them. We ordered drinks, which i will take the blame for. Asked for 2 strawberry mojitos as they appear to have a full bar (we were sitting right next to it) the drinks took 30 minutes & had no mint in them (isn't that the point???) Sodas are not free refills even though they only have coke, diet coke & sprite? After another 30 minutes, my Abura Soba came out (highly recommended by the server, supposedly the best rice/noodle dish on the menu.) By that time my appetite had passed from waiting so long for everything but I was still excited to try this "saucy ramen." This was the most bland item i've had in a long time. The pork belly pieces were fried hard like bricks on top, the noodles tasted like instant pork ramen from the grocery store, & again it was room temperature as if it was sitting in the window. I took 2 bites & just sent to back, didn't ask for anything to replace it because I was tired of being there. Our server seemed like she was having a long night, very cold to us, however I've been a server for years so I understand having an off day. I reminded her it was my birthday & asked if they had birthday desserts, she rushed away, came back with the dessert menu & then rushed away again. I saw other ppl celebrating their birthdays with candles on their desserts but mine was just brought out & sat infront of me, no happy birthday no candle nothing. As I was already desperate to leave that just put the cherry on top so I asked for a box for the yuzu bar so we could leave. Also, it was mind boggling to me how all the food would take forever to come out & be lukewarm, yet a lot of employees were huddled up behind the the wall separating the dining room from the host stand. Maybe they need to hire food runners or make everyone accountable for helping each other? Overall everything was lackluster, & it was extremely disappointing since it was my birthday & I had been really looking forward to going here. Even if the service was better I wouldn't return because the food is so average. If you want soupless ramen try Strange Bird, Kizuki, literally anywhere else.

The best sign of a great place is the food already has been attacked. This is a high quality fusion spot and will go back even at its pricey menu. Great atmosphere and even better to go with a group of friends to eat family style so everyone gets to try something different. Go with 4-6 people. Great drinks and staff. Apparently there's always a line on weekends so go during the week! Worth it 10000%

Food was phenomenal. I tried their Bao Buns & their Short Rib. The meat for both was super tender & full of flavor. The atmosphere was great! They had their side-door open and so there was the perfect mix of outdoor & indoor. Amazing location too - just a stone’s throw away from The Garage. Our waiter seemed a little uneasy but he just might have been having a bad day.

Sometimes I forget about this CRG spot, and then when bodhi is inevitably packed I make my way here and wonder why I don't remember it more often, the food is always fantastic, the cocktails are wonderful, and the service is always great. Don't skip this spot, great shareables.

BAO BUNS!! Everytime I think of Modita, I think of their bao buns. Love them. Came here with a colleague and of course already knew what I wanted to get. First time for her, and so for apps we split the bao buns (3 pieces), brussels sprouts(generous portion) and potstickers(3 pieces). Super great round of starters! No complaints at all. For my entree I got the short rib, and I don't know if it's listed or not, but I wasn't expecting it to still be on the bone. In my mind, I envisioned *braised* short rib. However, it was pretty decent! I also got a side of fried rice as the short rib came by itself. My colleague got a sushi roll and I wish I could remember which one, but she liked it a lot! The ambiance of this place is 10/10. Low lighting, intimate booth seating, and I think they have a pretty cool layout of the space. I always have great service while I'm there which is a plus!

I recently went to Modita and got the $40 three course devour menu + another entree. The devour menu was diverse and included fan favorites (like the bao buns). It did give 2 bao buns instead of 3, but tasted just as delicious. It did kind of seem like the pork belly was cut thinner than usual but I'm not sure if that's accurate. I can't really complain though - the buns were steamed perfectly, the slaw was light and the pork belly had a good amount of sauce. The drinks were great - I really enjoyed the Azolla. It was a really nice blend of flavors that were wintery yet bright and vibrant. It had blackberry and fig infused rum, winter spice syrup, yuzu, lime, lavender bitters, and mezcal. I don't love rum and I actually really dislike mezcal so I was nervous about this drink, but I loved it! It truly was spiced yet floral yet sweet. It was the perfect combination of flavors in my opinion and the smokiness of the mezcal was not the star of the show, which I liked. The aslam wasn't as tasty as I expected from reading the menu. It's Ginger Tumeric-Infused Reposado, plum whiskey, apricot liqueur, lemon, ginger syrup, and Crème De Cassis. For loving all the ingredients, I'm really not sure why I didn't love the drink. Food wise, the abura soba noodles were part of the devour menu. The waitress described it as a broth less ramen, which was perfectly accurate. I think because of there being no broth, the pork, mushroom and bean sprouts weren't as tender as expected, but it was still a really savory, umami dish that was a nice winter treat. The flavors were really good, but if you didn't get the sauce at the bottom of the bowl, you didn't get all that flavor. We ordered the tamarind noodles separately from the devour menu because they're one of my favorites. This time they tasted more like pad Thai than they did in the past. They always give a really generous amount of shrimp, so that's quite nice. The yuzu bar is a classic - kind of like a lemon bar but with yuzu flavor instead of just lemon and sugar? It was 10/10 as always and it was a huge portion honestly. I was super surprised. The staff is always really kind and knowledgeable. They are helpful when asking for recommendations and check on you once your meal has arrived. I had another great experience here and would do the 3 course devour meal again for sure!

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!

The ambiance and service are great here, as expected. The naan bread with the three different dips was the winner I think, who doesn't love some fried naan? Bao buns were also pretty tasty though a bit on the sweet side (I guess that's the fusion part of Asian fusion). Short ribs too were a bit sweet. I loved the shishito peppers, roasted with a lot of flavor. Buuuut the chicken and broccoli left much to be desired. For a pretty hefty price tag, we got the tiniest pieces of chicken! Not satisfying bite at all. That was my least favorite dish for sure. Portions are okay but you're definitely paying for the ambiance, the food is not bad, but nothing really to write home about in my opinion (especially at those prices!).

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.

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.

We had time to kill one evening so decided to give Modita a try. I was attracted by the inviting atmosphere - it was a warm night and the patio door was wide open. We sat at the bar and tried a few of the specialty cocktails and an order of kimchi fried rice. The cocktails were delicious (and strong). Mine was the Dragon's Challenge (spicy marg). The other was Summer with Aunt Thuy. Not my favorite- a little too herbal but it was pretty and my dining partner enjoyed it. The fried rice was delicious- tasted a bit like the inside of PF Changs lettuce wraps. The service was efficient and friendly. Pricing was a bit high, buy probably appropriate for the area.

Came in to eat with a couple of friends and had a good time till i heard the male manager swearing at full volume for 5 minutes straight. Very bad vibes. Food was great though and Brooke was an amazing server.

I recently had an amazing meal at Modita and just had to share! The sushi was top-notch--so fresh and delicious. You could tell the chefs put a lot of care into each piece. But what really made the night was Evan, our server. He was awesome! Super friendly, knew his stuff, and made great recommendations. Evan made sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. If you love sushi or just want a great dining experience, definitely check out Modita. You won't be disappointed!

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.

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.

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!!

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!

Part of the successful Cunningham Restaurant Group, conveniently attached to Bottleworks, this is a frequent dinner stop for me and my crew. Our two go-to apps: pork bao buns that consist of cloud-like fluffy buns stuffed with tender pork belly, and crispy lightly fried Filipino lumpia. So good! Recommend the ube ice cream if it's available! Perfect not-too- sweet dessert! It's a little splurge/spendy but worth it!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great service! The waiter was able to guide us through the menu and give recommendations. Everything was amazing from the sushi to the entrees. Love the soup dumplings and bao. Great dessert options

A good friend of mine brought me here for my birthday on Wednesday night. everything started off great, cocktails were great and so were the apps And service. once entrees came out I was disappointed with what I'd ordered as it was not what I was expecting and requested if I could order the dish my friend had ordered. My dish also came with a side of noodles. The server took the entree off the bill but not the side of noodles. when I requested for the noodles, that I did not eat, to be taken off as well, I was met with an attitude and told that I'd eaten half of the bowl and that there would be an issue with his manager. I in fact had not eaten half the bowl of noodles and that accusation alone ruined my birthday experience here. I felt profiled and uncomfortable. The server went back and forth with me about whether I'd eaten a half empty bowl of noodles they'd given me, ON MY BIRTHDAY. you'd think they'd given better service to someone coming to celebrate at their establishment. I didn't call the manager over because I was just over the whole experience.

We were lucky to walk in last minute and grab a seat at the bar, even though it was really busy. The bar seating was actually really nice, and the servers were great. I loved their non-alcoholic cocktail. The place might look unassuming from the outside, but it's a solid spot for date night or a nicer dinner.

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!

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.

This place is fancy and impressive! Perfect date night spot. It's darker/intimate and decorated nicely. The menu is unique and confused us a little at first. There's appetizers but also small plates (dim sum) - then a section that is just grilled meats - and then regular entrees. Oh and sushi. Do yourself a favor and get the Bao Buns. They are in the dim sum and honestly I'd go back just for those! All the food we tried was great (bao buns, soup dumplings, chicken udon noodles, beef Szechuan noodles). Only thing I'd like to see is maybe they offer one sushi option that is cooked - all sushi options here are raw.

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!

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!

Service food and ambiance are all top notch. A staple in Indianapolis. You have to try the boa buns

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!

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.

This high-end restaurant truly lives up to its reputation. We ordered the Mongolian beef noodles and pork kimchi fried rice, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, showcasing the chef's expertise.The staff at Modita were incredibly helpful and friendly, enhancing our dining experience with their attentive service. The ambiance is sophisticated and elegant, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion or a refined night out.While the prices are on the higher side, they are justified by the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. If you're looking for an upscale dining experience with delicious food and excellent service, I highly recommend Modita.

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!

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.

One word....excellent! The food was excellent, the cocktails were excellent, the dessert was excellent, the service was excellent!

We tried all kinds off the menu. My favorite was hamachi roll. Food was good overall. Food came out pretty fast. Staff was attentive. Ind trial and Asian decoration is pretty cool vibe. There's public parking across the restaurant building next to the Garage.

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

A cool restaurant in the Bottleworks district, expect to pay for parking. The food is wonderful with a little bit of a kick.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Sushi is always so good and the boa buns! Service is always amazing! I rushed after dinner to go to the living room theatre and forgot my credit card and the server had it in the office for me when I noticed I forgot it!

The bao buns were the best I've ever had. The service was attentive and professional and there's plenty of space in the venue. I ordered the Dragon's Challenge cocktail, which was pretty good!

First time trying this place a few weeks ago and most of the food was amazing! The ambiance was beautiful. Our sever was really nice and helpful with food and drink choices. The only thing I would change is the type of chopsticks. I would choose wooden over the plastic. Or give the option.

Recently stopped into Modita and it is always a delight! Executive Chef Megan is amazing and her food is incredible! Every dish is so beautiful and those Bao buns have a special place in our hearts!

ambiance of the place is nice. definitely felt upscale and intimate, at least on the weeknight i went. my family ordered a bunch of dishes to share, my favorite being the samosas and the brussel sprouts (so crispy!) i don't love kimchi but the pork kimchi fried rice was really good too. very cool selection of cocktails as well!
