Modan

Beautiful space inside! Reminds me of somewhere in nyc and was very spacious. Def nicer than most places in nova. I sat at the sushi counter and it wasn't as engaging as other places I have been to at the sushi counter where the chefs interact with you. I took off one star because the service was soooo slow - the Modan experience took like three hours! And some of the food was a little too fishy. However, the tasting menu was a tonnn of food and most of it was really good. I loved the fresh nigiri that they give you especially the salmon and tuna and yellowtail. The sushi rolls for this course were okay, the salmon and avocado was a little fishy but the shrimp tempura one was a lot better. The star of the show was the matcha cheesecake dessert! Omg this was so amazing I want to go back just for this dish. Creamy, sweet and not too planty. I'm not sure I would do the tasting menu again if come back but I would for sure order that dessert.

Good drinks, albeit quite expensive as expected. Recommend the Fruit Ninja if you're not much of an alcohol drinker and want something sweet.Wagyu dumplings were like a bite of cheeseburger with aioli sauce. Very good, but at the end of the day it is a cheeseburgerChuutoro was dry aged to remove the fishy taste, but I still taste it--the flavor profile was not too different from regular tuna but it is very good and softer in terms of texture. The DragonBall Z roll was also good with eel and the eel sauce but nothing special.Karaage was very good but it's hard to mess up good Karaage. Weirdly enough, the steak is probably the best bang for your buck as it is priced normally when you go out. Nothing stand out, but it's pretty inside.We had a very nice server, and they were attentive. Warm towels were provided once we were seated.

3.5Tucked away in Tyson's, but still no readily available free parking, a paid garage opens right next to the entrance of this place. A bit overpriced. Decent service, really nice decor. Sushi was okay - the rolls weren't prepared that nice, with end pieces looking like they are falling apart, and the rice left a bit to be desired. The Dragonball Z roll was ok - you don't taste the fish much which can be a good thing, but I like the eel flavor and this tasted like just sauce. The salmon avocado roll was good but pretty standard. The nigiri is a bit overpriced at once 1 piece per order but I think they said it's because all their fish is dry aged, too. I personally didn't taste the difference in the dry aged sushi but maybe my palate isn't refined enough. I didn't like their ginger and their wasabi wasn't very strong (was it not fresh? I barely got the sinus clearing that I usually crave).Assorted vegetable tempura was okay, hard to share especially when they say this restaurant is supposed to be 'tapas style'- I also thought the vegetables didn't have much flavor and the batter wasn't that great. The eggplant was my favorite.The spicy Karaage was really good. Nice flavor and crunch. Would get again.A few at our table got a large Tbone to share. Very nice presentation and accompaniments (loved the pickled vegetables) - I don't eat steak so can't say much about it but I think they enjoyed it. It seemed pricey to me but I think for 35oz in a restaurant, that price tag of almost $250 is pretty standard. It was really nice of them to provide a hojicha creme brulee for my spouse's birthday for us to share. It was just okay, however, a bit on the watery side and the caramelized sugar crust was a bit thick.Unsure yet if I'd come back; definitely out of the way for us. I think if I came back it wouldn't be for the sushi -- would love to try the miso cod and other items.

Hated it - do not recommend! Frustratingly bad service for the grotesquely high price tag. For premium prices I expected a sophisticated experience, with friendly staff as soon as you walked in, and attentive servers that would explain each cut of fish as it came out. We got none of that. The sushi chef (we sat at the counter) literally handed us our plate of sushi over the counter, which was weird (the counter is a lot higher than our table, so we had to reach up awkwardly to get it). Our other dishes were served regularly by the servers, so this caught us off guard. The hostesses were unprofessional and aloof (it felt like I walked into a Wendy's), it took forever to get anyone to acknowledge us when we got seated, and at the end of the meal, they mischarged us. Extremely chaotic and unorganized.The food was overpriced for how mediocre it was. The karaage was pretty tasty, but kind of burnt. The wagyu taco was disappointing, and definitely not worth $21 for the tiny snack that it is. The spicy tuna roll was good, but nothing special. I liked the king salmon nigiri, but the barracuda was chewy and had a strange leathery texture. The trevally jack was unique. Overall, there's way better sushi in the area. We left hungry, and the whole dinner experience was ruined by painfully slow service, lack of care for the customer, and food that was not executed with the level of finesse required from a place charging such absurd prices. It was akin to eating at a busy fast food joint, though fast food would've been the better option.

It is a relatively new restaurant right across from the Archer hotel with high price & small portion. 1. Reservation: trickyWell, they have a huge bar area with super long table that can sit up to 10 people and it has always been open, so reservation is not necessary. However, the greeter is so mean and will demand you to have a reservation. Also, she demands full name and number when you are just trying to sit at the bar. Even hospitals and police stations don't demand that to enter! 2. Food: tastes okay but not good for the price point it is at.Very small portion and high price. DRINKS: $30 old fashioned? and it didn't taste good and barely covered half of the glass. It is a rip off! - clear mushroom: truly is clear. no flavor. mushroom in clear water like.- rolls: for $20, we get a small bite that was not delicious- $21 taco: very small 1 bite wagyu taco. So, beware of the price level. 3. Service: good - door girl: terrible- server: never tried any of the stuff and can't recommend anything, didn't tell us the daily specials and when we inquired he had no idea- manager: awesome! 4. ambience: nice. spacious, tall ceiling. Good decor. Great for dates, business dinner or happy hour with colleagues.

2.5 stars. I know it's a high end Japanese restaurant, but the quality did not match the price. The sushi portion was very small per roll and the taste was just average. I also tried the lamb chops, and while the flavors were pretty good, it was very small. Also the bar was pretty expensive too.

Decor and ambience are stunningly beautiful! It's the first thing you notice in this new modern restaurant. The staff were friendly and our waitress definitely knew the menu well as she listed a bunch of "must try" items for us. Kudos to her because yep, we liked everything she mentioned! Appetizers and entrees came out in a timely manner and everyone in the restaurant were super nice.Food was awesome -- Wagyu dumplings, Wagyu taco, salmon carpaccio, yellowtail carpaccio, miso cod, filet mignon, wagyu on hot stone and of course the lobster to make it "surf and turf". I cannot describe how delicious the wagyu taco and wagyu on hot stone were. Every bite melted and I wish I could have just another bite, and another. We all had a lychee martini and a bottle of sake and both were great for our dinner and evening. I can't wait to come back for another meal but everything I mentioned, does run up the tab pretty fast. I enjoyed every bite and it was totally worth it for me because I enjoyed all the elevated dishes, but don't be surprised with the tab if you like to indulge in all ways of wagyu! They age the meat and fish in house is it does make a difference! It's so so good

We reserved and we ate. Starting off with a pro tip, don't show up early or before 5 p.m. because you'll be standing awkwardly in the little lobby in the front (a gentleman compared it to a bus stop!).We got our coats taken and led to a table by the large windows. It was beautiful, the sun was setting, the snow added perfect elements to the scenery. The restaurant has very chic cool girl energy. Our waiter was great, he was super attentive and recommended great dishes. Kinda felt bad for him because he was running around trying to serve a lot of tables so kudos to him for making us feel seen.The food was phenomenal, if you're a fresh sushi lover, definitely check this place out (the fish was so fresh you could barely taste it). Honestly, I could've skipped the filet mignon but my friend really loved it.Don't leave without trying the dessert because the matcha cheesecake was flawless and the creme brulee was to die for.It is a bit pricer, but definitely worth it for a special occasion or if you're just feeling a little fancy.

The restaurant is stunning! We walked in with no reservation and luckily there was bar seating available. The bartender, Christopher, was nice, had great energy, knew the menu like the back of his hand, and made us laugh a lot.We got the waygu dumplings, shrimp tempura roll, lamb chops, tacos, and eel avocado roll. Everything was delicious! They also have a tasting and seasonal menu that is 5 courses. Also, if you're wondering, there isn't a specific dress code. I called before hand and they said come as you are.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. It wasn't just a meal, but an experience. I did the Modan Experience and my favorite dishes were the fish dishes. You could taste the freshness and the quality. The service was also impeccable. Highly recommend
