Good Fusion, Lacking Price Value
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was pretty good, the flavors weren’t as outstanding as I’d hoped, especially considering the price. The fusion concept is a fun idea, and I appreciated that there were good dishes for different dietary restrictions, like vegetarian options. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the service also received a 4, indicating a generally pleasant dining environment and attentive staff.

Disappointing Meal Despite Recommendation
I was pretty disappointed by this place, especially since it came with a recommendation. The branzino was a significant letdown; it was slightly overcooked and so under seasoned, making it bland and flavorless. The presentation was also a bit sloppy. The cocktail was just so-so. Overall, it felt like there wasn’t a lot of care put into the food.

Disappointing Food, Great Service
I honestly don’t understand the hype about this place 🫠 My food was so disappointing! The service was great, and the arancini were solid. However, the ceviche was terrible; it seemed to use the same sauce as the arancini mixed with the “lasagna birra” sauce, which just didn’t work. It felt like the restaurant only has one sauce for everything. The wagyu + Gorgonzola tacos were also bad, with the Gorgonzola completely overpowering the other flavors. The lasagna birra was the best of what we ordered, but even that missed the mark, lacking distinct layers and crunch, feeling more like a mushy purée. I hate trying a new place and leaving feeling like I wasted my money on bad food. On top of that, the place has a sweet, really sickly smell that makes it hard to enjoy the meal.

Vibrant Lunch Spot with Juicy Burgers
I visited this restaurant for a quick lunch with a friend and had a great experience. The atmosphere is vibrant with modern decor, creating a welcoming environment. The juicy burger was a standout dish, perfectly complemented by very crispy fries. Overall, Modi delivers pretty good food for a quick bite during lunch hours.

Great Food, Terrible Restroom
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The service was nice, and the food was great, earning top marks. However, the restroom was revolting, which significantly detracted from the overall experience.

Great Service, Bad Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the service and atmosphere were both excellent, receiving a perfect 5/5 rating, the food was consistently disappointing. On both visits, the food quality was bad, leading to a low score of 2/5 for this aspect.

Disappointing Steak, Good Service
I had dinner with coworkers on 09/24/2025 and my experience was largely defined by the main meal. I ordered the medium-rare "Black new york steak mezcal, " which was unfortunately too soft and the meat was very bland. Even the sauce was almost tasteless. To add to the disappointment, my colleague ordered his steak medium, and it appeared more rare than mine. He also did not enjoy his steak. The rest of the food was ok to great. The appetizers were good, and I particularly enjoyed the arancini alla mexicana. The pizza also looked tasty. The table service was good; drinks were checked quickly, and empty plates were removed promptly. My overall score reflects the significant letdown of the main meal.

Phenomenal Service, Good Food!
My experience at the restaurant was quite positive. I was initially going to give a rating of 4, but the service was truly phenomenal! The food was good though~ I recommend the Caprese nepales.
