We drove so far to eat here. At first I was skeptical because the bar would have to be really high to make 1+ hour of driving worth it. Surprisingly, the food here actually surpassed my expectations. If you love Japanese food, you have to try the food here. Dishes were almost on par with fine dining, but at lower costs. My favorite items were the fish tempura, scallops, and uni with sweet potato. Everything was delicious, and reminded me of being in Japan. The only thing that was a little inconvenient was the parking. It's street parking, no parking lot or valet available. The restaurant is tiny so make sure you make reservations in advance, unless you come here outside of regular dining hours. The interior is very simple, so if you are looking for somewhere fancy looking, this is not it. read more

The atomosphere is awkwardly unwelcoming for some reason. 4 of 5 dishes we wanted were sold out before 8. 2 of 4 desserts on the menu were also sold out. Our server didn't seem concerned but more disoriented and offered us nothing to help the situation. The proper management of inventory and basic consideration from service team are unfortunately missing here. I was expecting more refined food but most of cold appetizers were just immersed in a sauce. All handrolls came with a paper thin slice of fish also soaked heavily in sauce and a tiny piece of dry eel on excessively acidic and wet chunk of rice. Korean owned Japanese fusion is trendy and not a bad concept but I prefer more friendly and vibrant ambience. read more

This place is like a diner of Japanese food. Mediocre food with terrible untrained staff and an owner who seems to have no understanding of how to run a restaurant. Jack Flash will not be back. As you can tell the owner just likes to argue and try to prove his point. Very combative to patrons. I've never been so disrespected in my life. Good luck buddy. News flash, you're in the hospitality industry and you were not hospitable to us. BTW I asked the waitress after we sat, if we are going to be rushed out at 9 and she said NO. And guess what, we were. I just read what you wrote, the waitress came by and asked us several times???? She asked us once and I asked for the check, we were finishing our sip of drink and then leaving. What's wrong with you? And right after closing you reply to our message in such a hostile manner? I hope no one has to experience what we've experienced today. read more

We got there at 5pm just when they opened and we were the first ones there. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us at the bar. So make a reservation to guarantee a seat. Service was excellent! Inside is nice, with tables and bar seating. Menu is not that big and it's not a traditional sushi spot with a variety of rolls. It's mostly hand rolls and some specialty items. The cucumber salad was really good and refreshing. I really liked the presentation of the hand rolls. It's a deconstructed presentation and you build the hand roll yourself. Taste was good but not exceptional. My favorite was the scallop and unagi. The issue we had was that they told us their specials but when we ordered it, they said they didn't have it. Why mention a special when you don't have it. read more

I've been visiting INE since they first opened, and I've now dined here more than five times. One of the things I appreciate most is how the menu continues to evolve with the seasons. Each visit feels a little different, while the quality and attention to detail remain consistently excellent. The food is thoughtful, beautifully executed, and full of flavor. On my most recent visit, the Grilled Kurodai and Smoked Koji Mackerel were especially memorable. The Kurodai was perfectly grilled with a wonderful texture and depth of flavor, while the mackerel had an incredible balance of smokiness, richness, and umami. The service is another reason I keep coming back. The team is attentive, warm, and genuinely caring without ever feeling intrusive. You can feel the thoughtfulness in everything from the food to the way each dish is presented and explained. INE has become one of those restaurants I can confidently return to season after season. I'm always excited to see what they create next. Highly recommended. read more

Ine was beautiful and had good quality food but was incredibly pricey. The salad alone was $16 for a small portion, and although it was good, it wasn't justified for around a handful of salad greens. The "crispy tuna rice roll" was $14 for the 2 rolls. The handrolls itself were great quality -- it was better priced in comparison to the other food though. We also got the noodles with the additional sea bream, but the size of the sea bream was tiny: not worth the additional +$3 on the already $20+ noodle soup. The soup itself was clean and fresh tasting and was my personal favorite dish of the meal. Overall Ine was a great try with beautiful ambiance, but definitely a brunch spot with small bites! read more

Modern Japanese eats in a quiet neighborhood. Went for a weekend dinner. Quite a bit of street parking. Had an RSVP and was seated immediately. Ordered the following: - TH Tokubetsu Junmai (glass) - TH Junmai ginjo (glass) - fatty tuna brioche - sweet potato uni - tomato salmon - nori yellowtail - salmon hand roll - yellowtail hand roll - spicy tuna hand roll - toro hand roll - monaka - basque cheesecake Would say the appetizers and cold dishes were well made. The sauces of the salmon and yellowtail dishes hit well. The only dish I probably wouldn't do again is the sweet potato uni. It sounded good in theory since I like both ingredients, but together the texture was just a little too mushy. Was a little disappointed in the hand rolls. I think it's partly because they didn't have salmon belly or yellowtail belly available, which comes with the garnish / sauce that I was looking forward to trying. The rolls I ended up with were ok but didn't really have much flavor to them. The ratio of fish to rice wasn't great either. I do appreciate separating the nori though - keeps it crisp. The desserts were legit. I especially liked the monaka, which was like a lemon tart. The basque cheesecake was pretty darn good as well. As for the sake - def a difference between the junmai and ginjo - the ginjo is a lot more smooth. Overall - a bit disappointed in the hand rolls, but the cold dishes and dessert were excellent. Would come back for those. read more

Saw ppl posting on tiktok the cold noodles & the seafood ravioli which looked very interesting, and we were disappointed that neither one of them were on the menu. The restaurant itself is nice and cozy. The staffs were attentive. But the food is just so-so. We didn't understand why they would leave the pickled ginger soaking in the soy sauce. And the rolls were served as DIY... kind'a gimmicky and doesn't make the dish any better. The crispy rice appetizer was not what we expected. There's no crispy rice... it's basically a sushi roll wrapped in a toasted nori which wasn't even that crispy. read more

O V E R A L L Great discovery and new eats to add to your list of restaurants to try. Small, cozy, intimate vibes~ I do have to say, this was my first restaurant after coming back from an Asia trip... so my standards and expectations are sky high still. This made most of these taste more underwhelming or something that tastes like I could have had it anywhere else. O R D E R Crispy Tuna Rice (5/5) -- Pretty good, def order this! Fatty Tuna Brioche (4/5) -- Such a missed opportunity in getting better quality toast or putting a bit more thought there... currently feels like an after thought. Tempura (5/5) -- Nice and crispy without excess batter! Ine noodle (+ sea bream) (3/5) -- Underwhelming and the sea bream was such a tiny piece. The bonus here is the quantity of noodles felt generous but I don't think this was worth the price point. Ine hand rolls - Hokkaido scallop - Hokkaido Uni - Sweet shrimp - Toro All the hand rolls were refreshing and I love how they served it. I don't think it's anything more special than other experiences I had... it is good but not one of a kind. The toro was not as fatty as I would have hoped. Servet ice cream - I forgot what we got but we tried two. Both were delicious! S E R V I C E They are so packed! Must make a rsvp to eat here. The chef or owner noticed that we were waiting for a while and offered us this complimentary fish that was actually the highlight of the meal. We appreciate the attention to detail and awareness in their own business. O T H E R Parking is assssss just find street parking and don't risk it at the plaza next door. read more

Korean owed Japanese restaurant/bistro with Korean influences, what could go right? Plenty actually. Prices are decent for starters and the food? Well, we'll get into that soon. We got the sweet potato uni which surprisingly is an amazing pairing. The sweetness of the potato and uni complement each other well so you definitely gotta give it a try. The crispy rice was a nice crunchy treat with tuna that you almost wish you ordered double. Won't judge you if you did. The handrolls are fresh and the seafood even fresher so expect a good explosion of flavor with each handroll even though they run on the smaller side. The Ine noodles with sea bream were nice and refreshing and light. It almost gives a soba kinda of texture with the soup but also not really? Hard to explain, better to just order it and enjoy it. It's a nice finish and palate cleanser after all the other orders you ate beforehand. The overall vibe is more bistro than restaurant though, nice and cleanly decorated in a smaller space but you're still gonna enjoy your meals here! If you're a Resy or Amex Platinum card user, this is a fantastic spot to dine at and since it's relatively new, there's not too much of a crowd yet so come and eat here while you can before IG and tik tok popularize it! read more

Food: We tried a good spread here, and overall the food felt creative, thoughtful, and definitely memorable for a newer spot. The sweet potato uni was a standout, honestly one of the most surprising combinations I've had. I never would've thought those two flavors worked together, but the creamy uni paired with the slightly sweet, smooth potato base was amazing. The crispy rice reminded me a lot of a similar dish I had at a Korean Michelin-starred restaurant, great texture, nicely crisped, and elevated without being overdone. The handrolls were also really solid, with a generous amount of fish and a decadent feel that made each bite satisfying. Drinks were on point too, the yuzu ale and draft beer were both super refreshing and paired really well with the food. The only dish that didn't fully land for me was the ine noodles. They were refreshing and clean, but almost too light, and I found myself wishing for a bit more depth and richness in flavor. Price: Pricing falls into a mid-range LA fusion category. Appetizers like the sweet potato uni and crispy rice are generally around $16-21, handrolls range from about $8-12 each depending on the fish, and noodle/rice dishes like the ine noodles are roughly $14-19. Expect to spend about $30-50 per person depending on how many rolls and dishes you order, which feels reasonable given the quality and creativity. Ambiance: It's a smaller, cozy space with a modern, intimate feel, definitely more suited for dates or small groups rather than big gatherings. The open kitchen and compact layout add to that more personal dining experience. Service: Service was friendly and genuinely kind, but a bit slow during our visit. It sounded like they had someone call out and since the restaurant is still pretty new, there were some minor logistical struggles. Nothing too frustrating though, just something that will likely improve as they settle in. Parking: Typical York Blvd situation, you'll likely need to find street parking nearby and walk over. It's manageable, but might take a few minutes depending on the time of day. read more

Came here on a Friday with a reservation. It's nice inside and would be a good date night spot! We ordered: - Fatty Tuna Brioche - Hand Roll (Spicy Tuna, Unagi, Salmon, Scallops) - Ravioli - Basque Cheesecake The fatty tuna brioche was pretty good! I liked the sweetness of the bread with the soft tuna. The hand rolls were all so delish and I like that we can assemble them ourselves with the nori. My favorite was the salmon and the unagi. The ravioli was sooo good, I haven't tasted anything like they before! The texture of the ravioli was great, loved the seafood in it and the broth was bomb. Okay the cheesecake. At first I was questioning it because it looked...small. But honestly? That's all you needed because it was so rich and creamy! The lime cream on top was yummy. Excited to try other things on the menu! read more

Ok, so the food is really closer to 5 stars, but the overall experience really knocked things down. We had a reservation for 7pm, and when I showed up, the rest of the party was standing outside cause they were not able to seat them yet. The place is tiny, so the party at a table for 4 was still there. About 7pm, the party left and the staff let us know that they'd seats as soon as the table was cleared. Cut to getting seated, we learned that they were short staffed and the big menu items were either sold out already or not available. We started with a handful of items first to see how it went. While we waited, it got really cold because I seemed to sit in the apex of all the ac vents . Food came and everything was delicious. We added another dish, then decided to do dessert so we wouldn't be too stuffed. Even the ice cream was delicious. Fair warning though, friends hubby definitely needed to stop for something to eat on the way home. Overall, we probably be back, but wouldn't make a special trip out just for them. Parking Street only, the lot behind them is not actually for them, so park at your own risk. read more

Every dish we had was excellent. The only real issue was how many items they'd sold out of by 8 pm on a Saturday. Literally 5 items that we wanted were sold out. 2 more that the table next to us wanted. Pretty ridiculous. But, everything we did get, we loved. Fresh, flavorful, and unique. Limited, but good sake. Service was friendly. For me, the space wasn't extremely comfortable. Kind of cramped and loud, we were lucky we got a table away from the servers zipping by at a frenetic pace. Would definitely return, but we'd only go early to avoid the disappointment of so many sold out dishes. read more

Ine invites its patrons to indulge their pallets with clean, proportioned and visually pleasing presentations of their menu. If you're open to trying a new approach to Japanese cuisine, give Ine a visit. The service was attentive and well versed in offering suggestions to combine drinks with plates. On this visit we tried the oysters -- fresh! Ramen that was smooth and not potent; very different to other broths that we've had whose distinct flavors and textures are familiar. Hand rolls were beautiful in presentation and taste. Overall -- enjoyable ! read more

Ine is a Japanese fusion restaurant that opened in late 2025, and it felt like a local gem I kept seeing pop up all over social media. I was excited to try it and booked a reservation for opening time on a Saturday. The inside is intimate, tables are quite close together, and the space felt pleasant overall. Service was friendly enough and very attentive. We ordered a lot of individual items and I was genuinely worried about fitting everything on our tiny table, but they cleared empty dishes almost instantly. Unfortunately, while I feel like Ine has potential, the food fell incredibly short. There were a couple highlights, but with the pricing combined with portion sizes and the actual flavor (or lack thereof) of some dishes, it's difficult to give a glowing review. We ordered: - uni sweet potato ($16)--interesting concept but very poor balance. there was a truly overwhelming amount of sweet potato puree, and this is coming from someone who loves sweet potato - 2 regular oysters ($8)--a fine shigoku, nothing particularly special from the nori ponzu - 2 "burnt" oysters ($10)--also a fine shigoku, lightly seared with a richer feel from the tarragon butter - tomato salmon ($18)--I rarely call food bland, but this was bland. the tomato water needs help because our tomatoes are just not good enough to use straight up. came with capers, tomatoes, chives, and herb oil - tangerine bluefin tuna ($22)--much better, with a nice tanginess from the tangerine sauce. similar ingredients otherwise, swapping the tomato for blood orange - salmon HR ($7.50)--one sashimi-sized piece of salmon - bluefin tuna HR ($8)--one sashimi-sized piece of bluefin that was pretty meh - hotate HR ($8.50)--two smallish scallops, but at least there were two - amaebi HR ($9)--best value and flavor by miles. the bite with the aioli was delicious - uni HR ($14.50)--I don't know what happened here but this uni was BITTER. it was forgotten and brought at the end of the meal, and after one bite I gave the rest to my husband - salmon skewer ($7.50)--perfectly cooked piece of salmon with green onion, simple but delicious - hotate skewer ($11)--two small scallops, also cooked nicely - unagi skewer ($9)--lukewarm, tender but not crispy at all, and I didn't care for the sweet red wine sauce - kurodai / black sea bream ($30)--also perfectly cooked with crisp skin, beurre blanc, shaved fennel salad, and roasted hakurei turnips. there was this awkward thick half slab of charred lemon that was too thick to be a garnish and the wrong shape for squeezing The carpaccios were kind of a letdown? The ingredients between the two were very similar, just had a different base sauce and fruit. Would've been fine if we had only ordered one. Also, don't let the name "hand roll" fool you, these are basically nigiri portions of fish with slightly more rice and a nori sheet. The weirdest part to me was how the salmon and bluefin came with one thin slice for around $8, but you get two whole amaebi for $9. The amaebi even tasted relatively freshly dispatched, still retaining that slight translucency and crunchiness of live shrimp. None of the skewers actually came with skewers, they just cook it on a skewer and serve the meat (just a note). I usually don't eat lunch before dinners like this because I get full fast and want to try lots of food. Felt like a total glutton ordering as much as we did, and I reluctantly added the kurodai at the end. I thought about getting the Ine noodle too but decided against it because I was worried it would be waaay too much food. That... was not a problem because I left kind of hungry :( Imo it's only worth coming here if you want to try the cooked dishes. The raw ingredients didn't taste super premium or ultra fresh outside of the amaebi and scallop. Save your HR appetite for your favorite sushi restaurant instead. read more

Wanted to be adventurous and try a new restaurant in my old hometown. This restaurant is Japanese fusion tapas which is interesting, not common for Highland Park. Obviously the plates are small but the portions were even smaller (don't use such big plates when serving small portions), very disappointing. Most of the plates had subtle flavor, but honestly, some needed a little something else to give it life! From everything we ordered, the only item I really enjoyed was the Unagi! To me, all the other items were just okay! We have tried other tapas restaurants before and sadly, this one was disappointing. Sadly, we walked out, not feeling satisfied at all! I'm still trying to figure out for what we paid, doesn't equal the amount of food we got!! On a positive note - customer service was outstanding and on point on all level levels! read more

The food was definitely good, but it didn't necessarily stand out from other Japanese spots. What they do offer is higher quality, slightly elevated versions of the standard Japanese dishes you can usually find elsewhere. I really liked the simple indie/hipster Japanese aesthetic of the restaurant -- it had a clean and relaxed vibe that made the experience enjoyable. The service, while friendly and accommodating, seemed a bit overwhelmed during our visit. You could tell they were short staffed since nearby tables had dirty plates sitting there for quite a while, which made things feel a little awkward. Still, the waitress did the best she could and remained attentive throughout. One thing I genuinely enjoyed was the hand roll setup. The seaweed was served separately so you could assemble it yourself with the rice and meat, which made it interactive and fun. They also served a toasted rice tea that was surprisingly really good and paired well with the meal. Small touches like that helped make the experience more memorable. Overall, it's a good spot and worth trying at least once, especially for date nights or casual outings. Personally, I don't see myself coming back often, but I can definitely understand why other people would. read more

Relaxed vibes and vapor wave music Visited here to yap and eat with 2 lovely ladies on a Thursday evening. I made reservations about 3 weeks in advance. The three of us ordered the most delicious hand rolls that were so unique! I had the salmon belly hand roll which came with a couple of pomegranate seeds on top. We also had the yellowtail belly, uni, and the toro hand roll. I liked the salmon belly hand roll. It was amazing! I highly recommend their hand rolls and I'm sure you can't go wrong with anything you get! Oh and their matcha latte is so good! I had 2 matcha lattes because they were that good! I would like to revisit to try the sea bream entree. Thank you for everything, INE! read more

Ine - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cozy Japanese fusion spot with a pleasant ambiance, but unfortunately the food was a letdown. The only standout dish was the prickly uni sweet potato - the uni was fresh and paired well with the sweet potato's creamy texture. Everything else we tried lacked depth and felt underwhelming, with flavors that didn't justify the price. For a place that looks promising and has a nice atmosphere, the food missed the mark. I wanted to like it, but I wouldn't return for the food. read more

my boyfriend and I decided to come here to give it a try because we were in the LA area and found this place through Resy. We love hand rolls, and are always excited to try a new place out whenever we get the chance, so we were really looking forward to eating at this restaurant. We luckily had reservations here so the wait was only 15 minutes and that was because we came early. the restaurant was cozy and well designed. it was minimal and felt intentional. the staff were also nice and provided great service to us. i'd give the food an overall rating of 4/5. we started off with the tempura platter, which was really good. It was lightly fried and there were a lot of pieces to share amongst two people. Then we got the Ine noodles, which was OK. The broth was savory, but overall the dish wasn't too impressive. I wasn't sure what I was expecting exactly from this dish but the staff had recommended it so I guess I had high expectations for it, but it was kind of just like a savory broth noodle dish that was leaning more on the bland side. The mushroom hotate was also pretty bland. The scallops were good and there was a mushroom taste to it but before being a $20 dish I wasn't really impressed with the combinations of the flavor (mushroom and yuzu). The only hand roll was good. They gave a lot of Uni which i was happy about because it was quite expensive ($14.50 per roll) but i don't think id repurchase it. And then lastly, the hand rolls we ordered a variety of hand rolls such as yellowtail, toro, and spicy tuna. I like how they serve the seaweed separately from the rice and fish to keep the crispiness of the seaweed as fresh as possible. The hand rolls were good, but overall, I think I prefer a different style of hand rolls where the fish is more chopped up similar to Kazunori. I wish there was more bursts of flavor in each roll. But overall, I would still get this restaurant a four out of five just because the staff was kind, the ambience was nice and the food wasn't bad. read more

Food is just not good. Uni was not fresh and very bitter but they did return it. We saw another table get real wasabi so we wanted some for our fish and they gave us fake tube wasabi???!!! Sweet shrimp with persimmon just does not go. No flavor, no salt, no umami, just no flavor sliminess. At least put some smoked salt or yuzu kosho or anything. It's another looks good but doesn't taste good restaurant. read more

Ine has a really cool ambiance, and I loved the overall vibe of the restaurant. The food was decent--nothing extraordinary, but enjoyable. I especially liked the hand rolls, and my partner really loved the noodles. One thing we both appreciated was that the food didn't leave us feeling heavy afterward. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. The server was also acting as the host, which wouldn't have been an issue if everything was running smoothly, but it felt chaotic. We waited quite a while to place our order, then had to wait again for our check. I also had to ask for a water refill at the very end of the meal when the check was brought out. Throughout the dining experience, the server wasn't very attentive and didn't check in to see if we needed anything. Overall, I'd rate Ine 3 out of 5 stars. Great ambiance and some solid dishes, but the service really took away from the experience. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and I think Ine is a great place to have lunch! Everything was fresh and delicious. Their standouts are definitely the handrolls. Their crispy rice isn't what you would immediately think of, but rather crispy seaweed cylinders, so something to keep in mind. Was kind of bummed they are out on a few items since they were booked out the night before. I know this is a fairly new restaurant so once they work out their kinks, this place is great!

Had a great lunch at Ine. The handrolls were fresh and tasty. The tomato cold noodles kinda blew me away since it was during a hot summer day, it was really refreshing and one of the memorable dishes I've had recently. The servers mentioned that they would come up with specials based on what's available at the farmers markets. Will be back. read more

The service and ambiance was great, but at the end of the day its about how the food tastes, and it basically tasted like nothing. We had the tempura, bluefin tuna, several skewers and other few dishes and they all uniformly were just one note of flavor, barely noticeable. Nothing unique, nothing that felt personal, just meh... I feel like nowadays, if you are going to charge +$50/person, you better to have either a really unique dish, or strong flavors, or at least a story to tell. And when your 1st option for dessert is a "Basque Cheesecake" ( the easiest dessert to make, and most profitable one), you are just telling me you have no interest in doing anything other than sell overpriced food to people. LA dining can be a scam, and unfortunately this is one of those places. read more

The restaurant is tucked near a shopping center so it can pretty tough to spot. Parking is super limited so be prepared to spin the block. We were super lucky there was parking on the corner. We had reservations on a Sunday early afternoon so it wasn't super hard to get a seat. They have great availability. Staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. We ordered lots of food, oysters, toro toast(?), handrolls (yellowtail, scallop, tuna) skewers (sea bream), edamame and gyudon. The oysters were great, plump and juicy great flavor. I'm a little meh on the pomegranate aril, as you couldn't tell if it was grit from the oyster? The flavor was great. All the handrolls were great- loved the wrap yourself concept, let the seaweed crisp. The sea bream was exceptional. There were two on the menu, we tried ordering a different one only to be told they done serve it? (should probably take it off the menu. Or say it's seasonal?) either way that was great! The edamame was tasty, really well seasoned. It went well with the gyudon- as that dish really needed a little more of something. The cabbage leaves on top were well seasoned but because they were left whole that seasoning wasn't throughout the whole dish. Overall a great experience, the restaurant has a variety of great seating and you could fit a small party inside. Great lighting and super clean space. read more

Low-key, elegant food and vibe. Excellent service, thoughtful menu, cool selection of sake and beer. I'm going back soon!

their menu changes a lot by season and seemed more focused on the Japanese aspect of the Japanese-Italian fusion when we went, so there wasn't any pasta. the server said it will come back in the future depending on the season. the fish was pretty yummy, and the crispy rice tuna is actually a cigar-style hand roll. the fatty tuna from the brioche melts in your mouth read more

I came here for lunch during their soft open (I think day 2 or 3 of their opening) and waited to write this review until they got some 5s under their belt. The service was friendly. The place is beautiful. But some things just weren't ready yet. They didn't have full sized napkins, so we just had cocktail napkins, a good number of dishes on the already small menu were not available, and the plates were a bit of a hodgepodge. That being said, everything we tried was really skillfully created and delicious. So my plan is to give them a little time to workout the kinks and come back for a second try. read more
