Sushi Modo

Sushi Modo opened about 8 months ago in the Burnaby Edmond area and it is a great little sushi gem! Came here early around 6pm on a Friday and the restsurant was very empty but it quickly got very busy with an hour. It was nice my husband and I came here early as the food came out really quickly and the waitress were very attentive! We couldn't resist ordering a bunch of oishi sushi and aburi cause they looked sooo good! We ordered the aburi sushi combo, salmon oishi sushi, volcano roll and house special roll. They were all really good! And I really like how they don't over do the sauce like a lot of other Japanese restaurants. My fav has to be the aburi sushi combo in particular the ebi aburi in there! Something about the sauce and aburi they make that is especially tasty! Their price is very reasonable ranging from $12 - 15 for their specialty rolls and aburi. Will definitively come here again!

Great service, cute ambience. Bento box very nicely presented and delicious!
Our first time here and very impressed for lunch.

Came to eat dinner with my wife and mom. Friendly Greeting by one of the servers as we entered and immediately seated. Given tea to drink and menus. After looking at the menu I ordered to share with my mom assorted shashimi, favorite combo, an ebi suninomo, chicken karaage. Wifey got garlic unagi oshi, salmon flower, a tamago/Inari nigiri and black codfish.

Everything was tasty and prepared nicely. Real leaves were used to decorate the plate of sashimi. The suninomo was garnished with Parsely which I don't think really goes with the flavor profile but you don't need to eat it I guess.

Service was good and the servers prompt and attentive. Overall a very nice experience sorry no pics taken of the food.

Enjoyed a super delicious sushi dinner here.

We ordered quite a bit between the three of us: Salmon Sashimi, Oshi Platter, Red Devil Roll, Beef Tataki, Chicken Teriyaki, Mentaiko Cream Udon, and Wasabi Mayo Prawn.

We finished it all because it was all so good! Will be back again.

Ordered party tray a few times and never disappointed. Great service and order ready after 20 mins after phone order.

This is probably one of the best little gems for sushi in Burnaby. The staff is always friendly. The space is warm and cozy. The Aburi is one of our family favourites

Service was really good but the portion sizes/prices were ridiculous. I paid $18 for 6 slices of tako (octopus) sashimi and I swear it was cut with a sandwich meat slicer. I have never seen slices so thin.... I could almost see through it. This is something I order frequently and I have worked at several Japanese restaurants in my youth, and I have never seen anything like that.

One of my fave places for aburi salmon oshi & great value too!
I'd also recommend some of their "special" rolls too, like the Scallop Motoyaki Roll (pretty unique peanut butter saunce, with very nice plating) and Chicken Karaage Roll.

Salmon Oshi Sushi (6pc/$13)

Decent amount of seating, but it can get busy. They also do a lot of take out. Free parking at the back parking lot, go around.

Haven't been here for a while, but they seem to have gotten a bit better than before. We ordered the sime-saba ( mackerel ), No 8 roll and salmon/tuna don.

The sime-saba was good, with the black pepper giving it a little kick when you pop the sushi into your mouth. The special sauce and the torch add a good balance of flavor, although the black pepper can overpower it, depending on how much there is on top.

The No 8 roll was interesting with the torched chopped scallop on top. The unagi and the roll in general was soft/tender ( not in a mushy way ) but the sushi rice was cooked perfectly, the unagi and chopped scallop was fresh.

We will be coming back here when we're in the area.

When I was in the washroom, I can hear diners clearly.....ahem I hope I was not too entertaining....noisy.

We landed at this joint out of indecision, which seems to be in the middle of nowhere. Exactly what indecision deserves.

We arrived around post lunch, this place seems to be occupied by well-tattooed angry millennials.

Owned by Koreans, the meal was prepared by Japanese kitchen staff. If they were fronting, difficult job. Food tasted authentically Japanese. Nice.

Every plate was delicious. Thank god I did not foot the bill. So four stars. Had I to pay, maybe three stars as you are paying 30% premium, of prime location prices for nowheresville location and subpar ambience.

Would I come again? It is a resounding yes if and only if someone else pays. Ha. Kidding. This is surprisingly decent. May come back if in the area.

Thank-you my feeder.

Received delivery and unfortunately it was not a good experience. Ordered beef teriyaki and received chicken. The karaage was meant to be spicy, but was not, and it was pounded totally flat with flaky breading - super strange. To be fair, the flavour of the meat itself was good enough to bump the rating up a star, but presentation and prep leave a lot to be desired. The Philadelphia roll had a really unsavoury looking gooey sauce on top, the avocado inside was browned through, and the flavour left a really unsettling aftertaste...Sad to say it went in the trash, which we're feeling quite guilty about. Always down to try different sushi places but likely will not order from here again.
