| - +.5 for service
Been here twice now, and I can certainly say that this place is an underrated gem in Markham.
Le Modern is located on the ground floor of an office building, and has been open for about a year now. The inside is indicative of the new style Japanese restaurants (think JaBistro, Kinka, etc), but this place is a lot quieter than the well known establishments downtown.
The menu isn't very extensive, but the options are quite decent for a Japanese restaurant. The servers are Chinese, but the head chef in the kitchen is Japanese, so you know this place is authentic.
Some items I tried include the okonomiyaki, sashimi platter, angel roll, salmon oshizushi, tako wasabi, le hokkaido salad, grilled squid, miso black cod, lobster fantasy roll, and beef/pork skewers. Out of these, I highly recommend all the items except the okonomiyaki and beef skewers. The tako wasabi is extremely spicy as the wasabi stems in this dish is legit. The sashimi platter has decent variety, including bluefin tuna. Their pork skewers are also some of the juiciest I've ever tried.
This place also does catering for large parties, and I recently booked a 14 person party as part of my relatives from Hong Kong visiting the country. Their service is very good in terms of making sure everyone's appetites are satisfied.
Service is excellent, and personally I would rather visit Le Modern than similar restaurants in the area such as Tsuki.
