Modern Mäki Sushi | Walker’s Point, Milwaukee — Restaurant in Milwaukee

The Good: Reasonably fresh sushi. Decent tasting. As a sushi fan, and someone who used to work in a sushi restaurant, it’s nothing special, but it is good enough. So you’re safe there.

The Bad: Rude customer service. Has an attitude. Acts like they don’t want to be there.

I came this Sunday afternoon to the Zocalo Food Truck Park. This was my first time visiting the park, and I was hoping to get a good first experience. I walked through the park and selected the sushi truck. It was not busy at all. I read the menu and ordered. The tone the customer service person took with me was “you’re inconveniencing me. Hurry up. I don’t even want to be dealing with you right now.” To clarify that was not what the person said, that was tone of voice. When I went to pay, they handed me the tablet, said “ you can leave a tip but you don’t have to“ at a volume that I could barely hear, while they were looking off to the side as if I did not exist. I went to complete my transaction on the tablet. I only pressed one button before they tried to rip it out of my hands. I had to snatch it back from them and say “I’m trying to leave a tip.” No sorry, no thank you, no nothing. The only reason why I tipped is I assume when I’m tipping at something like a food truck that the tips are divvied up among all the employees, and I don’t want to punish other people for this one person‘s awful, rude, and condescending attitude.

As a trans person with a disability, when I go out into the world I don’t need any extra trouble. I don’t need someone talking down to me. My life is already hard enough. All I want to do is to get through my day with no drama, be civil to other people, and be treated civilly in return.

These interactions stress me out, and so I left the food park in a hurry, blowing off a sweet man who tried to ask me about my Boston Terrier.

I will never go back to this food park. One bad experience is enough for me. I will take my business...

My favorite sushi in Milwaukee (Maybe even anywhere)! Who knew amazing sushi could come from a food truck? My husband & I absolutely love it here. The Brewers sushi burritos, Dragon rolls, Dumplings, Spicy Tuna & boba tea are my favs, but really everything on the menu is great.

I'm also very picky with seaweed wraps, because some places have hard to chew & overly textured. I don't have that problem at Modern Maki! Their shrimp is always so tasty & crispy in the Dragon rolls, that it could be one of my favorite shrimps ever. But probably my absolute favorite thing about this place is the rice in the sushi! It's always made for perfection. So soft & magnificent.

I wanted to honor the effort to upscale the food options in downtown Waukegan so I picked up two sushi rolls for dinner from the food truck. $25.00. The employee was a young teenage American woman. She was very nice but not what I expected to see as a sushi chef although very accomplished at processing payment and tip. Presentation was very nice, but this was the worse sushi I ever tasted. The crispy role was $14 and soggy with no taste or texture. Everything tasted refrigerated. Nothing fresh....
