    I have been eyeing this place for a while to check out because of all the great reviews that I've read, so decided to book a lunch meeting here. When we got there it was dead as a doornail on a weekday afternoon and from what I could tell the owner came to serve us herself. She was very polite and efficient. The place is small inside but cute. I got the impression that they probably do a much bigger take out business than a dining there business. I ordered green tea for my beverage. To my great surprise, it came in a can. Don't order this, ask for fresh tea. It tasted terrible. For lunch I ordered the tempura white fish bento box and miso soup. The miso soup was very tasty! The lunch bento was huge! I was actually surprised it was so big. I was initially concerned because I thought the lunch pricing was high but since a ton of food showed up, it ended up being cost effective. Although I did not order the sushi or sashimi, it looked fresh and my client said everything was good as well. All in all a good experience and I will happily go back to visit!

    We were just looking for a sushi spot in Clifton Park so we picked here off of reviews. When we walked in we didn't know what to expect, but we quickly knew we were about to have an amazing experience. The place is brand new, it was immaculate inside, stunning sushi bar with a chef who looked like he knew what he was doing. The menu is a lot to look through. It seemed extremely authentic and the place has no hint of "americanized" dishes. So many options, it was a great experience just looking through all the offerings. I love raw fish to the point that I want nothing to come in the way of it, so I opted for the sashimi and nigiri combo box. It sounded like it came with a lot, and it sure did. First was an impressive bowl of miso soup, chocked full of huge fresh seaweed, great depth of flavor, very good. Next was a house salad with the freshest ginger dressing. You could tell they made it from fresh ginger, the greens were so fresh too. Just the soup and salad really brought home the point that this place was real deal. Next they brought out delicious gyoza and tempura, so crispy, not even a hint of soggy, so fresh and deeply delicious. It was also all so light, followed by my beautiful plate of fresh sashimi and nigiri. The fish was so delicate, flavorful, fresh, I basically ran to compliment the chef, whom was on display working his magic. It took a loooonnngggg time to be served, but the time was appreciated and worth it for the immaculate plates we were served. Not a complaint in the air, it was perfect. Come here to appreciate the art of sushi and amazing cuisine, enjoy your time and come with friends to enjoy good conversation and excellent meals served at a slow place. I left impressed, and wanting more. Please come try our sushi here, I promise that you will not leave disappointed.

    Not very impressed. I was the only person in the place and they refused to seat me at the sushi bar. Ordered a variety of sashimi, cut in chunks rather than thinly sliced, and the only thing served cold and fresh was the yellowtail. Everything else was almost room temp and tasted slightly off. I won't be going back.

    very good good and very good service! i went on a tuesday night and we were the only people in the restaurant. the atmosphere was very quiet, the staff was very friendly. you start with miso soup (free). i'm not a soup girl but the person i was with had both bowls and said it was the best miso soup around. the fried chicken was SO good, and the general tso's sauce was as well. crispy but not hard to eat. i don't eat fish, but their vegetarian options were easy to find and extensive. as always, the sweet potato tempura roll was very good and the cucumber roll was the best cucumber roll i've ever had (it's hard to make something so simple so much better than others!). the inari was good and seasoned well. overall, a great experience, highly recommend.

    Only bottled beer available.

    It seems negligent that we should have waited almost three years to visit Modu since it opened. But in all honesty, from the outside there was nothing calling out to us to venture inside and try one of our favorite foods - sushi. Even tonight, as we entered through a vestibule, I would have had second thoughts about completing our entry had I not first looked at some of the photos on Yelp to ascertain what the dining environment was like. Inside, in front of a sushi bar with about five seats, are a mix of approximately a half-dozen, two- and four-top tables with low partitions, to help provide some privacy. Along a corridor to the back of the restaurant are maybe three booths. Everything is spotless everywhere. Modern pendant lighting fits nicely with the rest of the décor and provides a medium bright atmosphere. The menu provides a mix of both Korean and Japanese dishes. There are separate lunch and kids menus. In addition to the classic sushi rolls like California, spicy tuna, salmon avocado, .etc., and an assortment of thin rolls with the seaweed on the outside, there are hand rolls and over twenty Chef's Specialty Rolls. Starting with the two Japanese beers available from their bottles only selection, my wife chose the Sapporo while I chose the Asahi Dry ($4.50 each). We both agreed that the Asahi had more flavor. FWIW, both are brewed in Canada. For an appetizer we ordered Haemul Pajun ($12.95), a Korean seafood pancake with shrimp, calamari, and scallions made with wheat flour. If you're not overly hungry, this could be a meal in itself for one person. Served with a soy dipping sauce on the side, it had plenty of the seafood in the six pie-shaped slices. It was very hot when served but I still chose to pick up a slice as if I were eating pizza. It was very flavorful. I should mention that we were also served miso soup before our pancake arrived. It was a very good miso with soft cubes of tofu and very flavorful pieces of seaweed. Our sushi order consisted of: Nigiri - red snapper (Tai) $2.50; eel (Unagi) $2.95; mackerel (Saba) $2.50; white tuna $2.50; sea urchin (Uni) $3.50; and smoked salmon $2.95. I believe the chef added a couple complementary pieces of fatty tuna (Toro). Rolls - Spicy Girl ($12.95); Birthday ($12.95); and Modu ($8.50). All of the fish was very fresh. The nigiri had balls of rice that were actually a bit small for the portion of fish on top. While no wasabi was placed between the fish and the rice, there was plenty of wasabi and gari served on the side. The rolls had a wonderful mix of texture along with their flavors. Spicy Girl was a mix of white fish, jalapeño, spring mix and topped with spicy tuna, tempura flakes and a spicy sauce. It was not overly spicy at all, but the flavor of the jalapeño did come through nicely. The Birthday Roll consisted of tuna, avocado and cucumber topped with salmon, tobiko and avocado sauce. The Modu Roll used the pink soybean paper as its outer wrapper and seaweed as an inner wrapper to hold tuna, salmon, yellow tail, avocado, asparagus, and tobiko. This one had a lot of crunch with the asparagus and more great flavor and freshness. Service was excellent. It appears to be a family run business and everyone was friendly and efficient. Did I mention how clean the establishment is? Shame on us for not coming here sooner. I look forward to trying their main dishes.

    I LOVE IT HERE! Been going to Modu for the past 8 years and it's honestly the best place for fried chicken. It's friend in a unique way that allows for the chicken skin to be crispy not hard crunchy. It's a texture I've never had in typical wings found anywhere. The environment is very calming and a great place to enjoy their food. The sushi is so good as well. Salmon is very fresh and I've never had any problems with their raw foods.

    Unexpectedly came towards the end of their weekday lunch deal so got the soondubu tofu soup and the…read moreseoul long tang which I usually get anyways and was an affordable price ~$15 each? (not too sure) The tofu soup I got was mild-lightly spicy and gosh it was the spiciest soup I've ever gotten and I usually eat this and other spicy foods perfectly fine! Wasn't the best for me. Alternatively the beef soup felt a bit bland but my friend liked it. Main complaint is not much beef in the soup and it tasted very tough. alternatively not much seafood either, just tiny small bits of cheap shrimps which were a bummer. Only good thing was the decent price and decent free side dishes (not many) of which only broccoli tasted good. Food took forever to come so side dishes were a life saver although they also were never refilled which at traditional places they are. Main thing: the service was quite bad... from the moment we walked in, we didn't feel welcome as no one welcomed us, dirty tables were everywhere (like in those video games you play to clean up), and we waited awhile at the counter looking at menus until someone greeted us with an attitude yelling that counter is only for to-go and we should've just sat down if we're dining in... she huffed and sat us down, surrounded by the dirty tables. We asked if we could sit elsewhere but as big as the restaurant was, she still said half of it was closed for dinner (I know other places do the same but they were kind enough to let us sit in that area when requested) and the reason why this time, was because we were literally sitting surrounded by dirty dishes all around us - which they never cleaned up the entire hour we dined here! Very unpleasant view-never have I ever! Even our current table was sticky. And the food and service took forever. She seemed very annoyed when we ordered and whenever we asked for water or refill side dishes and gave attitude like we obviously need to wait for her to appear and be free to even ask which she was rarely seen. I never saw her treat other customers like the same way she treated us, for them, she was very patient and kind and offered menu options and even personal talk. Seems like she doesn't like tourists, just regulars. Anyways she was rarely seen throughout the meal and so I just sucked up the not so good food and we finished and took awhile to get the check. That was the only point in the interaction she seemed to be present in the restaurant. Other times she was nowhere to be seen. When paying, she loudly exclaimed what do you want to tip? In an attitude saying that, we had to tip, and it had to be a sufficient amount otherwise she'd be upset - which she was because service was not good. Even when we left and said bye, she gave us no word back and just another one of those scowled looks. Only one lady working the front and she was barely present and not pleasant. Overall food really isn't bad but it isn't amazing either. If this cuisine is what you're craving go for it, it's fairly priced. I would support a small business. But don't expect a clean restaurant or friendly service - unless youre a regular or fits the server preferred demographic. Not the best experience for me. Whole heartedly believe if service was better this could be a solid place!

Was it a mistake to order their spiciest wings on my first visit? Would the price I paid for the combo meal justify the quantity and my satisfaction with it? Do the patrons REALLY watch those music videos? Well, it's definitely all about the chicken here. That first bite of a boneless wing with the Spicy Galbi was indeed a taste-bud-awakener, but after that it was all flavor and the right level of crispness. I definitely wanted more. The fries were interesting. They were nicely crisp, and they were lightly covered with some kind of coating that was both subtly spicy and subtly sweet. They were certainly fine, but I'll explore other sides on future visits like the cole slaw and the pickled radishes. The price for a combo, $13.99 plus tax and tip extra... well ... since I'm really here for the chicken, maybe next time I'll just order a big batch of wings and do something else instead of (the starchy) sides. Those music videos... today they were all from a K-pop girl group known as aespa, evidently quite successful internationally. Clearly I am not their target audience. But as background music, it was pleasant enough. Since it's roughly 15 minutes from my house to here, ordering in advance seems like the way to go. It is indeed worth it for the chicken.

I wouldn't come back to order it here. I would come back to try some of the other things on the menu though. Maybe they need to expand slightly beyond ramen? Or put more fresh ingredients in their ramen to make it more exciting snd appealing to eat on it's own. I don't love it when it's just noodles and corn like the cup of noodles that you buy at the store in those styrofoam cups. Kind of a let down.
