We've been here many times for dinner over the last few years and it's always wonderful. The decor is fun, service is fantastic, and as with all Cunningham restaurants, the food is always delicious. This time we just stopped in for a drink at the bar. We were waiting on a table near by and chose Modita because we knew we could count on a quality craft cocktail. I had the Izakaya and it was fantastic!! The best cocktail I've had in a long time. My husband had the Parisian Dreams. He didn't love it because it had a licorice flavor that he is not a fan of, but could appreciate that it was good and well made. Highly recommend this place for food, drinks, or both!! read more

The food was very tasty, but it all came out lukewarm, even the side of rice. It was also slow to come out, which made us think maybe it was just sitting there waiting to be served. When we were finished and ready to pay, our server gave our neighbors their check and they immediately paid via tap, which we wanted to do, but he instead just dropped off our check. Then he was over at a large group taking all of their individual checks which took a really long time, so we ended up just getting up and going to the front to pay our bill. read more

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

Modita - Tuna Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

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

Great menu, okay service. My wife and I came to Modita last Friday for a date night. We had been once before but not for a few years. It was busy so we sat at the bar for dinner and drinks. The bartenders were friendly but pretty swamped with a full bar. We ordered sushi and dim sum. The sushi arrived pretty quickly but about 15 minutes after we had finished eating the sushi, we were wondering when our dim sum was going to arrive. I asked our bartender if the order had been placed and he said that he had "spaced out the courses for us." Well...another 15 minutes went by before we saw our dim sum, and at that point we were ready to go. I appreciate the thought behind spacing the courses but the execution was poor. I have a hunch that he had forgot to place the dim sum order and placed it when I had asked when it was coming. Overall, the food was fantastic, the restaurant has a cool vibe, and the staff are friendly. read more

For plant based folks, the tofu mapo was great, as well as the Brussels sprouts. Very generous portions.

Wow. So thankful we ended up going here. Our hunger was thrown off by our day's activities, and we ended up going because it was the only place within walking distance that would allow our 4-year-old past 9 on a weeknight. Our service was impeccable! (Shout out to James!) He accommodated us on every level, even asking the kitchen to provide a couple extra ingredients to satisfy my growing fetus. My husband's Mongolian Beef Noodles were savored at every bite, and I have RARELY tasted Brussel Sprouts that meet my full expectations of how they should be cooked. Several couples were enjoying a beautiful date night in the bar area, and we felt just as welcomed and loved in the moody atmosphere as a family of three. read more

Honestly, the drunken noodles tasted like a greasy skillet. Like, use a half sheet of paper towel and get rid of those old, greasy tastes. Highly disappointed.. read more

My sister chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday in. My mom made a reservation and the staff continuously wished my sister a happy birthday which always makes for a good experience. I went with the appetizer of the bao buns and the entrée of Mongolian beef noodles. The bao buns were an excellent starter. They were soft, and the pork belly was extremely tender and flavorful. The Mongolian beef noodles was a great dish as well with nice flavor and a nice amount of beef. I was able to sample some of the dessert as well. I tried the Yuzu bar and some of the mochi ice cream. I much prefer the mochi ice cream as I thought the Yuzu bar was a little tart. The restaurant has a dark and semi loud ambience, but it seems like a nice place for a date night. read more

I travel to Indianapolis annually for work & this is one of the best meals I have had in the city. The space was dark and brooding - but made it also feel cozy & sophisticated inside. I hope to remember the first bite of the shrimp tamarind noodles forever - it was that good. A delicate balance of the sweet & savory with a fresh burst of lime. I also highly recommend the tuna tartare - the fish was fresh & we got a great shareable portion for the price. Not pictured, but also ordered at our table was the Mongolian Beef & the Chicken Tandoori. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food & the strong flavor profiles of all of the dishes. Additionally, our server was excellent - provided recommendations, answered our questions about ingredients in dishes & was overall just added to our pleasant dining experience. read more

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

Everything was a unique experience from start to finish definitely would recommend for something new.

Modita is a fantastic restaurant, and a great location. The food is always top-notch, the service is fantastic, and the ambience set a wonderful tone for dinner. We went there with a few folks from out of town, and they all commented on how great of an experience it was, with quality food, quality, service, and pretty good for money read more

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

OK SO GOOD! I picked my mom (a self-proclaimed foodie) up from the Indy airport and wanted to treat her to a nice meal before heading home. We landed at Modita and MAN it hit the spot! No drinks this time, but we started with the potstickers and they were fantastic! We were both indecisive so we decided to split two entrees: the Mongolian beef noodles and the Shrimp Tamarind Noodles. The Mongolian beef melted in your mouth and tasted like it had been cooking all day. The shrimp dish was a like a twist on pad thai and the candied peanuts were such a great addition to it. We have not had a meal that good in awhile and Modita has quickly jumped to the top of my favorites list for dinner in DT Indy! You can expect any restaurant from the Cunningham Group to be good, but this was top notch! Definitely check Modita out the next time you're in the Bottleworks District! read more

We visited here last night for dinner to celebrate my sisters birthday. We had made a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant has a modern Japanese theme with well organized dining tables. Our server was incredibly friendly and explained the menu thoroughly. This month the restaurant was offering the Devour menu, so I decided to start with the bao buns (so tasty), my entree was the soba noddles(flavor was a bit lackluster) and dessert was mochi ice cream. Overall it was a very nice dining experience. read more

This place is a vibe! It was worth the wait! The cocktails are amazing and the service was next level. We had the naan and we could have licked that bowl. The spicy, sweet, salty feta dip with garlicky naan was so tasty! The short ribs were grilled well and so savory. The bao buns were delicate and the meat was cooked well. My husband and I shared a few plates and were full! We had a salmon sushi roll, but wasn't exciting. It was more on the expensive side per person, but worth it. read more

LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!! Birthday celebration for a large party. The service was good despite we had a party of over 10 people. The variety of food was amazing! I ordered the Tofu & Shrimp Green Coconut Curry, the BEST I've had to date! The restaurant is located at the Garage. Although there is free lot parking, weekends are extremely so be prepared to wait or grab a meter. read more

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

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

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

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

Let me start off by saying that our service was incredible! Our server (Camilla) was great and gave us the full rundown on the menu and what some of her favorites were along with the things we must try as first timers here.The atmosphere was dark and moody, which is my favorite. We did a big variety of food - buns, egg rolls, dumplings, pot stickers, wagyu steak, kimchi rice, and the chocolate cake for dessert. It was all very good! I did feel like (while delicious) some of the food lacked some standout flavor. For example, when I think of kimchi rice, I would have expected maybe a bit more sour or standout flavor to it - but it just tasted like normal fried rice to me. The steak was cooked to perfection and was definitely the highlight. I also thought the dumplings stood out between all the dim sum we ordered. We will definitely try this place again and hit some of the other menu items we didn't get to! read more

Delicious asian small plate fusion options for foodies! We were a table of 8 seated with a view of the bar. The seating was perfect out of the way and there was a ramp to make my access easy to our table. (The person from our group who made the reservation didn't known I was on crutches so I feel like their restaurant is pretty ADA compliant.) Our server was amazing to help my spouse select the spiciest options from the menu, craft cocktails were delicious and food timed perfectly to make the post-dinner Old National Center concert. All dishes ordered were wonderful! We had a varied mix vegetarian, standard and sushi dishes with appetizers and main options. We've been to Modita a few times before and plan to return. Parking is not easy in the Bottle District nearby for handicap parking and this restaurant entry doors, but my husband was able to retrieve the car and find a nearby area to make exit easier than arrival. read more

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

Perfect girls night spot! We had reservations and were seated immediately. Everything on the menu sounded amazing so we ordered a bunch: brussels, bao buns, potstickers, soup dumplings, crab ragoons. The highlights were the brussels and the bao buns! I would order just those next time and be happy. We however didn't like the crab ragoons at all as the filling was more soupy and very fishy. We also ordered four different entrees and they were all yummy! We will be back. read more

You may need a flashlight walking into modita on a sunny day. The ambiance is that of a speakeasy. It's dark and moody but with excellent food. A friend and I got the bao buns to share and we couldn't get enough of them. They had a bbq like sauce and the pork belly was so tender and flavorful. We split the tempura tuna roll that they had on special and liked it well enough. For our main course we had the sweet & spicy sesame chicken. The dish had a lot of flavors and you could definitely get a couple good bites of pineapple. This restaurant is perfect for a date night. The menu is all asian inspired dishes so if you don't like those flavors this might not be for you. We had great service and had a lot of attention to filling our drinks and clearing the table. read more

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