    Ordered pizza, salmon curry bowl and protein bowl with steak. - food was late (25 mins of waiting) - pizza was overly wet, literally with water when you lift a slice - curry bowl- we thought it was a soup dish since the curry was literally overflowing and thought it didn’t have any rice - steak bowl- steak was over cooked- I seriously don’t know what it wanted to showcase in terms of flavors - beautiful interior, amazing packaging/marketing and overall feel but they forgot the most important- customer service and quality of food

    Disappointed. This place was awesome a couple years ago. Flat iron steak is advertised on their site as being “cooked to a perfect medium rare” and it’s definitely well done, dry, cold, flavorless. the potatoes were also tough and cold. $10 for 1/2 salad and the highlights are inedible.

    Ugh the salmon is so salty like salted fish and the rice very dry. I ordered a corn pizza also, and the base very salty. Looks like they didnt care about wht they r selling. They have cozy place but not the food

    Light lunch modern: lemongrass pulled pork bowl and Baja blackened chicken salad. Very surprisingly, both were more tasteful than expected . The cucumber mint lemonade was nice very flavorful...true to its name! The spindrift sparkling water unsweetened I found not too pleasing to the palate. Overall, this was a very healthy meal option and would highly recommend. Good eating😃

    This place looks like it has some good "healthy" options for a light lunch and lots of items on this menu look great. I had the Curry Salmon bowl and was hoping to be at least warmed.. but the veggies were cold and more surprisingly the salmon was as well.. also the salmon was very dry and crusty. The curry sauce was mild and quite good. I think this dish would taste so much more if the salmon was fresh and veggies were warmed. Service was very friendly but it took a while to get the meal.

    Pizza didn't arrive with the rest of our order. We called to let them know. Almost an hour after our initial delivery time, I received a cold bbq pizza instead of a fresh pepperoni pizza, which was the original order. As far as the bbq pizza goes, I had to reheat it and I'd say it's not as good as a frozen California Pizza Kitchen of the same flavor and style.

    No one working here is wearing a mask. If they have the mask on, it is not actually covering their face. Absolutely would never come back. It's abhorrent. Also, it is so incredibly slow. If you're looking to get a simple meal within 20 minutes, go elsewhere.

    Took the Lemongrass Tuna Bowl and I wasn’t very satisfied with the bowl. Quick service, but the food itself isn’t that good and portions are small compared to what you get in other restaurants.

    The food was decent but the portion sizes were small for the price. The sandwich came with half a handful of chips and the soup was TINY. The restaurant blaring music so loud it was hard to have a conversation. They should definitely turn it down to improve the vibes. They didn’t have an abundance of vegan options for a healthy lifestyle restaurant.

    I ordered a salad bowl and this is what they gave me. Half of the bowl is empty. The quantity is very less and they charged 17 dollars for this! Very bad experience.

  • 5/5 Hilario D. 4 months ago on Google
    Came here in the last 30 minutes of operation hours, and still got an amazing experience. The guy who took my order at the register was polite and got a couple laughs out of me! Food was definitely fresh and delicious!

    Ordered the curry salmon bowl and was excited but they forgot the rice/quinoa. We were the only customers in there and they forgot one of 4 ingredients listed in the bowl. Disappointed but I’m sure when everything is included it’s good. Salmon a little tough/over cooked but curry is good. Keep in mind it’s just their curry soup that’s on/comes with the bowl, not a thick sauce. It’s alright, not great and probably wouldn’t go back considering they forgot one of the main portions of the meal.

    From the moment you walk into Modern Market, you can tell this is a restaurant that deeply cares about serving high-quality, wholesome ingredients. The food philosophy here is refreshing - real, recognizable ingredients made from scratch to create delicious dishes. Everything I tried at Modern Market totally hit the mark when it comes to flavor and freshness. The salads showcase crunchy, in-season produce tossed in balanced dressings. Sandwiches and melts are piled high with humanely-raised meats or savory vegetables on bread baked daily. Even the desserts like the fruit crisps burst with ripe, natural sweetness. And you can taste the care that goes into preparing each dish with restraint to let the excellent ingredients shine. For healthy, satisfying fare made with an admirable commitment to real food, Modern Market is a trustworthy choice. The cheerful ambiance makes it a great spot for grabbing a nourishing quick bite or lingering over a farm-to-table feast with friends.

    I ordered a chicken Basil Sammie and it was delicious. The kiddos had the Mac n Cheese and let's just say there weren't any leftovers. Not a lot of seating, but we were able to find a seat. I would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 8 months ago on Google
    My wife and I ate lunch here for something lighter than the usual BBQ we get when visiting Austin. We both ordered a “Chef’s Pick” item in their menu: She got “Greens and Grains” and I got a Chile Steak sandwich. The food was fantastic. I also liked the unusual fountain and lemonade drinks available.

  • 4/5 eye 4. 6 months ago on Google
    Decided to eat here before going to the venue. I had the Blackened Chicken Mango bowl which came with rice and quinoa, mango, kale, black beans and chicken ofc. That was one of the best bowls I've eaten. The ingredients were fresh and this bowl was definitely filling. They also have cane sodas, tea and lemonade. I had a Berry Hibiscus tea that I mixed with lemonade. It was the perfect blend of sour with a bit of sweetness. While we were there, a homeless man came in to get something to drink. However, they yelled at him to get out. I don't know what history they have with him but the interaction was loud and upsetting.

    Delicious fresh food! The Budda bowl was a great vegan option. I am feeling full and happy. I bought the pepperoni pizza for my toddler. She liked the small amount of food she consumed. Service was great, restaurant is clean and I would like to come back.

  • 5/5 Ginard H. 5 months ago on Google
    Crazy delicious food! The tastes are well-thought out and layered wonderfully. A BLUEBERRY pesto panini sounds ridiculous but was sumptuous. The bay windows are excellent for people watching. Cannot recommend it any higher.

  • 5/5 Sasha B. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is outstanding!! The food is fresh and the flavor combination is to die for. I’m sad that we’re in Austin only for a couple of days. If I lived here, i’d make sure to come here frequently!

  • 4/5 Snigdha A. 1 year ago on Google
    Appetizing sweet potato soup. The blueberry pesto sandwich was quite refreshing and unexpectedly good. Wish they had some more vegetarian offerings though.

  • 5/5 Dave H. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate here twice for lunch. Amazing blackened chicken thighs, awesome ahi tuna so rare. The garlic mashed potatoes and arugula blue cheese salad, and roasted fingerling potatoes were to die for. Awesome manager would greet every guest walking in the door and it made it more than a fast food restaurant. I will definitely return when I come back to Austin.

    I enjoyed the Buddha Bowl! The food came out pretty quickly and the outdoor seating was nice.

  • 5/5 Gigi G. 3 years ago on Google
    We LOVED the menu options. We are vegetarians and it's always hard to find good choices, variety and good tasting food. It was all ther! The service was nice and quick. We got the modern avocado toast and the mac and cheese for kids. They loved it! Beautiful seating as well .

  • 4/5 Mel Z. 2 years ago on Google
    The Thai Coconut Salad is delish! The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors mixed perfectly that I felt an awesome explosion of flavors going on at once! I loved the sweet potato and the herbed tofu. The salad has mixed green, cucumber, cilantro, crisp pickled onions, strips of sweet potato and toastedunsweetened coconut flakes. It all comes with peanuts and a peanut butter dressing, but since I am allergic I ordered it with the champagne vinaigrette and it blended well. I wanted to give the place 5 stars but my order even though I asked for no peanuts, it still included them. It was good that I could just not eat that section and enjoy the salad.

  • 1/5 Eryn B. 2 years ago on Google
    It was impossible to pick the temperate you want your steak cooked online so I just got their chicken bowl. Chicken wasn't seasoned, sweet potatoes weren't seasoned, the only thing that was seasoned was the mashed potatoes. All and all just a trash experience.

  • 5/5 Jennifer L. 1 year ago on Google
    First place we found out about this restaurant. Love the street corn pizza. The soups pair well with the pizza too. We will try other things another time. For now it’s addiction to street corn pizza. I’ve seen reviews saying steak needs some work. Probably will stay away from that too. Staff here are sweet and friendly.

  • 5/5 Lo 1 year ago on Google
    My go to lunch place. Make sure you come here before or after the lunch rush hour, like all Austin restaurants they are under staffed. My favorite is the summer special AHI TUNA SALAD. So so so good, so much inside you have to take it home. It’s on the pricier side for salad— like $18 but it’s so worth if.
