INI is a very fun restaurant serving unique fusion food. When we were there, the place was full of families with lots of small kids. Luckily, there were no interruptions.

The restaurant decor is on point, modern and clean. The Japanese style Italian dishes were a big hit. I loved the creaminess of the uni pasta and the fresh seafood in the other. We also got the mushroom truffle oil pizza and the flavors were just right. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating, I think it is a good spot for all occasions whether it be a date, business meeting or meeting with friends.

Delicious food and drinks! Service was great as well. Casual cool ambiance, with plenty of space. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu. There were a few items we didn’t try and I definitely want to go back to try more food… especially dinner. I wanted to try their porridge which I saw on the food photos but it wasn’t on the menu. I loved everything! My favorite was the spicy carbonara pasta. It was savory and the noodles were perfect. yuzu margarita was delish. Definitely recommend!!!

Went there for lunch, two of us ordered the cauliflower, the truffle pizza, the uni pasta and the steak…all were on fire though I would say the steak is probably can be had anywhere…the pizza was maybe the best ever! The cauliflower was so surprisingly good. Service was on too – initially the two of us got a table for two but we needed more space and they were quickly able to accommodate us. Will be back!

The noodles are good, taste like fresh handmade, Chicken Alfredo is amazing, noodle is just right, the sauce is perfect, and the chicken on the top are so tender and juicy. But, the Veal Bolognese is not that surprise, noodles was great, but the sauce isn’t that good. Their drinks are great.

We went with a bigger group as part of a birthday dinner. First of all I am familiar with other restaurants of this company and had high expectations but got disappointed very quickly. You would expect that the service for this price point would be able to serve the food at the same time. Instead they brought food all over the place in no particular order so one half of the table got a lot of food early and the rest was waiting for another 10 minutes.

Beautiful restaurant with quality items at a reasonable price. We ordered some pastas and enjoyed them, good portion and cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed my non-alcoholic Yuzu Peach Refresher as well. One of the pasta dishes I ordered was the Frutti de Mare which came with an appropriate amount of perfectly cooked seafood for the price. Their Spicy Miso Carbonara with Bacon was also very delicious.

The cocktails were great. They really do an amazing job putting a spin on the classics. The food was also great. We came for the brunch/lunch menu. Only downside was the tentativeness of the server. It was the lunch rush and wasn’t a deal breaker. I will be coming back for the dinner menu.
