Fresh ingredients, great staff, lovely space, Sushi Modo is my go-to! Great place to dine in and take out from. As a vegetarian, they have several options beyond the usual ones. I always recommend them for sushi in Port Moody.

Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Food: 4/5
Overall: 5/5
After seeing the grest reviews for this spot I was excited to try a new sushi place in the tri cities! I came on a Saturday night with my dad and we were able to sit down right away since they had a few 2 person tables left but I noticed there were bigger groups still waiting to be seated since the restaurant was pretty full.
The service was really nice but not super attentive - they took a while to come take our orders and we had to flag them down to pay. The food also came at staggered times which made eating a bit awkward.
As for the food itself, I got the tan tan udon as well as a yam cream cheese roll and a shittake roll, and my dad got a miso soup as well as an oshi and special roll. The sushi was very good - the rice was perfectly cooked and everything was really fresh! The udon, while huge in portion size, was very disappointing. It was quite flavourless and I ended up adding quite a bit of soy sauce to it to make it taste a bit more salty. Lastly, the prices are more expensive than most places and they wanted to charge $5 just to add tofu to the udon which is crazy!
Overall, I would come here and get the sushi rolls since the quality is great but prepare to pay for it!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 33018469813Nov 23, 2023Updated review
Very friendly staff and meals are decent portion and price but appetizer is still way to pricey for its portion and quality. The miso soup is alright, but the rice is well cooked. I'm not a big fan of the katsu don sauce but some people might like it. Nothing wrong this the specific bbq/balsamic sauce but I just personally don't like it on my katsu as it's a bit too acidic. The sashimi don is great though. The miso cod is way too oily , small, and even with the miso you can smell that it's a bit fishy. Tastes alright but if I can smell it when marinated, the fish is not the freshest. Parking lot right outside and Skytrain/bus across the street so it's a very convenient location. Not my go to sushi at all but not the worst either.

Some food are okay but nothing special and a couple dishes are pretty tasty. My favourite would be the miso cod BUT the prices are on the higher side and the portion is SO small. I ordered 3 things and came in a very small bag. At first, I thought they must have gave me the wrong order (looked like there's only one small bento box in the paper bag) but when I opened it, my order were all there. Tasty but not satisfied at all. Not a bad place but there's just so many better ones. Definitely won't be visiting again

In the MOOD for sushi...
I tried their Burnaby location a few times when it first opened and had mixed experience with it. In Port Moody and this place seemed to be the only sushi place around opens till 11pm during the weekend.
This place is located on St. John Street, right beside McDonald's. There are parkings available on the side and back plus street during certain time. Inside has a simple yet trendy decor to it, making the experience quite casual.
After being seated, here were the food I ordered;
1. Ebi sunomono. It was a generous portion, but I find the shredded purple cabbage was a little too excessive and in the way. And taste wise was a little on the bland side.
2. Black cod miso sake yaki. Nice presentation and taste but it was half meat and half belly. One thing about grilled or bbq black cod belly is they have that chewy crunchy texture that I am not a fan of, certain people enjoy it, just not me.
3. Assorted sashimi (3pcs salmon, 3pcs tuna, 3pcs sockeye, 4pcs chefs choice). Pretty fresh but a bit disappointed with the chef's choice, 2 slices of tako and 2 pieces of hokkigai (technically 1 hokkigai that's been halved). That was weak and another reason why I never like "chef's choice or selection" on the menu. More often than not it's never good. I usually ask but forgot this time, therefore, ALWAYS ask to ensure no lame ducks are being served!
4. Spider roll. Had its little own flair but overall pretty basic.
5. Ikura, toro, saba, chopped scallop nigiris. They were fresh, pretty basic standard sushi.
This is a decent little Japanese restaurant located on the busy Port Moody strip, easy location to get to and find.
The service here was no wow factor but it was okay.
As for the food I ordered, the price was decent in terms of freshness and portion wise. But the ingredient selection wise, certainly have room for improvement.
Nevertheless, I think I already tried all the restaurants along the beginning of this strip to the end of Poco??
Next time maybe give Sushi Mori a revisit when in the MOOD for sushi...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sep 7, 2022First to Review
NEW LOCATION. Sushi modo has finally opened a new location in port moody. Their known for their aburi sushi, and speciality rolls. Here were some of the things we got.
*
Mango tango roll ~ one of my fav speciality rolls we got, super delicious and not to mention it's huge! 10/10.
*
Scallop motoyaki roll ~ yummy the presentation and taste was good, loved the scallops on top. 9/10.
*
Volcano roll ~ that garlic chip on top complimented the entire roll so well. It was fresh and the sauce was good with it too. 8/10.
*
Tuna tataki avocado salad ~ presentation of the tuna and salad was good. Refreshing and worked well to cut some of the heavier rolls. 7/10.
*
King aburi sushi combo ~ perfect set to try a variety of their aburi sushi. Super delicious and each bite was good. 8/10.
*
Black cod sake miso yaki ~ cod was soft and tender, I wish it was more infused with the miso and sake flavour but overall super soft. 7/10.
*
Oshi sushi platter ~ the oshi here is good, my fav is their salmon and saba. 9/10.
*
Mentaiko cream udon ~ ultra creamy and thick! The noodles were nicely cooked and the sauce paired well with the noods 9/10.
*
Aburi popping roll - one of my fav rolls here, the jalapeño on top really adds a nice flavour and kick to the delicious seared roll, 10/10.
*
Deluxe sashimi ~ stunning, presentation was 10/10. Good variety it was fresh too! 10/10.
*
Overall the mango tango, aburi popping roll and deluxe sashimi stood out the most. (I still prefer the Burnaby location) but I'm glad to know there's one in Port Moody as well.

Overall, verdict ? Very good!
We live in the tricities and have visited most sushi places over the years. Most of them are Korean run, and quite certain they get them all from the same suppliers - you won't find any Japanese imported fish just fresh regular fare you're used to.
I digress - so in a sea of options especially in Coquitlam, we tried out Sushi Modo. The decor is very and clean, the tables are almost booth tables so large and private.
The sushi quality and size was good, and prices are reasonable (in today's economy). My litmus test is the BC Roll and it was good; all salmon skin and no fillers!
Also had the beef yakisoba which was very good, no too salty, or oily. Probably the best I've had yet.
Service was good, no complaints.
Will definitely return.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 19, 2022
I'm only really in this area during the summer and happily discovered Sushi Modo's new location. Highlight and lowlight:
King Aburi Sushi Combo - 2.5/5 I enjoyed the hotate nigiri and my sister enjoyed the saba nigiri but we wouldn't order this again.
Chef Roll ($16) - 4/5 A unique roll wrapped with rice paper. It was way too saucy unfortunately. But amazing.
We ordered a few more rolls that fell somewhere in between the two. Overall it was a good lunch.
Small parking lot, friendly staff.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lynn L.Burnaby, Canada94107130Nov 12, 2022
We love Sushi Modo on Edmonds and was excited to see that the opened up a new location in Port Moody. We popped in for lunch to check it out. As soon as you walk in you will notice how bright and beautiful to the restaurant is. Be prepared for a very large menu! We didn't know where to start because everything looked amazing. We ordered a bento with sushi and sashimi and wow it was HUGE!! Definitely you get the bang for your buck! Salmon oshi was a must and was delicious. If you love salmon sashimi try salmon belly it just melts in your mouth. If you don't do raw try the salmon kama, for $7.50 you will be surprised how big it is! To top things all off the service was amazing! Will be back!!!

Pretty good for middle tier sushi - think along the lines of green leaf or that sushi place in the amazing Brentwood food court! It is a bit expensive for what you are getting and it isn't authentic, but it is one of the better places on the Coquitlam / port moody area. A good meal and would be back!
