As always an amazing experience at MC. Not listed on the cocktail menu is a delicious Espresso Martini. Can be made “light and sweet” or not. Favorite rolls continue to be Tale of Two Tunas and Land and Sea. Hamachi Sashimi is also an underrated dish. Can’t wait to go back

If this wasn’t Michelin star, I don’t know what is. From the attentive hospitality to the extraordinary and creative culinary experience. May have been one of the most delicious preparations of sea bass I have ever experienced, but then again every morsel was divine.

Absolute perfection. We had Oscar as our server, he and the busser were spot on and were truly genuinely concerned about our food experience. My partner and I had the Lobster Roll and the Wagu beef/ cast iron skillet as an app. Both were delicious. Main course, Pork meatballs w/ noodles, w/ fish sauce, and the Surf and Turf, outstanding! The filet I could've cut w my fork. Specialty cocktails were delightful. The overall vibe made for an outstanding birthday celebration. We'll certainly be returning.

Excellent meal in a nice cozy setting. The menu changes every Thursday so always something new. Don’t ask me to pronounce what I had…we started with lobster sushi. I had a cobia dish and my wife had the prawns. We finished with the bread pudding which was outstanding (be sure to leave room for it). We will be back.

We absolutely loved MC Modern Asian Cuisine. The host was extremely accommodating when we asked to add a person to our party. I know that’s tough in a small restaurant but we had a surprise grandparent joining us for a graduation dinner so we are so grateful the restaurant was able to work with us. We sat outside which was delightful and quiet, and our waiter was friendly and funny. The food and drinks were outstanding. Don’t miss the prawns!! All in all a wonderful dinner on a happy occasion. Thank you!

Overall a great restaurant in Cary. Indoor and great outdoor dining. Fresh innovative asian inspired dishes wiht new menu weekly. My past two times had spectacular main dishes, most recently a spciy lamb shank curry dish, and previously a fantastic cripspy NC fish dish. This time the fresh eggrolls were also great. Only dissapointment was the two sushi appetizers we got were bland over priced for the tiny serving.

This is a great restaurant. Love the Asian food choices. My wife had the Sea Bass, which she described as amazing, I had the rib eye which was cooked to perfection. Great restaurant, get reservations early, as this Jewel will not last on a Friday/Saturday.

This place used to be amazing but our last meal experience was just average. One in our party ordered “beef stirfry” and it was just 6 small chunks of meat next to under cooked broccoli and onion slices. That said, the sashimi nacho appetizer was delicious. And I support/understand inflation increases, but wow, our meal was expensive for what it was…
