    Waste of money. Son's 'customized' ice cream cake. What a joke for $70. 8"
    jane m.

    -10 points if possible. My son's "customized cake" cost $70!!! 8 inch, simple vanilla cake. Showed her a picture and this is what she came up with. The sprinkles tasted like it expired 10 years ago (all four of my sugar- loving kids refused to eat it, so that tells you something.) The cake is lop-sided, the cream has an aftertaste. The cake was dry and the ice cream was gooey (hard to mess up vanilla but it was bad). Definitely not worth the money in any way. Just a warning for others considering to get a customized cake from them. A 9" well designed cake at baskin robbin is way cheaper, and there are more flavor selections. Edit: to the owner- I know you never "intended" to make a terrible cake but, the important thing is to acknowledge the possibility that you did. Can you seriously look at this lop-sided, messily decorated cake you made me and claim that if you had paid $70 for this, you would be happy? Yeah, I believe you when you said you made it the day of pick up, but rather you took 10minutes or 1 hour to make this is the bigger question. Plus, when I got there, your helper didn't know what I was talking about. When she called you and realized where the cake was, she didn't even know how to box it. It was a chaotic experience. I'm just saying that if you can't make quality cake while charging quality money, then consider taking them off your menu.

    This was my first visit and support this store after meeting my family. We stopped here to buy some tea for my mother-in-law and some snacks. The customer service and cleanliness were satisfactory. However, after returning to my mother-in-law's house in San Diego, she told me the entire bag of tea we bought expired Tomorrow!!! We bought it on 10/17/2025, and it expired on 10/18/2025. I called the store politely to report the issue and ask how they could help. They replied, 'We are busy right now, we will call you back," but as of today, 10/21/2025, I haven't received a return call. Please check all products before leaving the store as my recommendation!

    Lots of selection. Both ladies helping out were detailed and helpful. Was able to try different kinds of beef jerky. All were tender and flavorful. They also have ice cream here which is a plus too. Very clean location and well lighted.

    My loot! Every sample and recommendation were delicious! Worth every penny!!!!

    My family and I love this place! We stop by every time we come to SoCal for vacation. Everything is so delicious. The dried shrimp and crab is my fav!

    This stuff was like crack!

    Beef jerky
    Nicky N.

    I've tried a lot of different beef jerky brands over the years, but this one really stands out. The texture is perfect--tender with just the right amount of chew--and the flavor is amazing. It's savory, slightly smoky, and perfectly seasoned without being overly salty. I also appreciate that it's not greasy or overly dry like some other brands.

    Mango Durian Sorbet...So Good!
    Crystal P.

    First Thing...This Place has Some Of The Most Welcoming Staff Of Any Store I've Ever Been In. The Snacks Are Great...I Highly Recommend The Shredded Beef With Cashews...My Son Was A Big Fan Of The Thai Flavored Jerky. Definitely Worth The Drive From Riverside Today...Will Be Back Soon!

Second, they are not stingy with the lobster. Every bite actually has lobster in it, not just filler. Everything was rich, fresh, and super satisfying.

We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. Just excited there is finally a local place to get decent lobster rolls at. My recommendation would be to focus on the lobster rolls and tacos. ditch the quesadillas grilled cheeses and lobster fries.

Super flavorful without being overwhelming, which I really appreciated * I have to talk about the beignets... because WOW! They were better than Disneyland's (lol).

The team surprised me with a dessert (ice cream with fried bananas!) which was such a sweet and memorable touch. The vibe and ambiance overall was amazing! I'd 100% recommend this place for a group dinner or romantic date night to have your boyfriend peel your shrimps for you LOL. Service was outstanding, especially considering how busy it was.

The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted.

I have come to Ini a couple of times whenever I stop by the Orange County area, and my graduation dinner was no exception. What makes them so unique is their perfect balance between Asian flavors and Italian classics. Everything I have tasted here has been delicious and has exceeded my expectations. Something I appreciate, besides the aesthetic interior, is their unique selection of dishes ranging from innovative pizzas, creamy and original pastas, and bright, flavorful appetizers. Here are a couple of items that I want to shout out: First, the truffle honey bread. I really appreciated the crispiness of the cheese on top and the bounciness of the fluffy bread paired with the sweetness of the honey. It creates a very balanced bite that keeps you wanting more. The raw salmon appetizer was a huge hit with our table. The citrus paired very well with the salmon itself, and even though this is a common appetizer at many fusion restaurants, they really do it right. The beef carpaccio was a great fusion dish and a wonderful nod to the Asian flavors that inspired them. This is a dish I have ordered multiple times, and it always hits the spot. Out of all the pizzas, I enjoyed the mala lamb the most. It actually was not too spicy, with a nice peppery flavor. Sometimes lamb can be a bit overpowering; however, when topped with the mala honey, everything balanced out perfectly. I also want to note that I have never seen this flavor combination anywhere else, and I think it is definitely something you need to try if you are here. The short rib gnocchi was another favorite of mine. The gnocchi was fluffy and cloud-like and paired really well with the umami-rich, savory flavor of the short rib. The meat itself was very tender and pulled apart easily, making every bite delicious. There are other dishes I could mention, but I do want to shout out the scallop risotto. This one definitely surprised me, as I am not usually a big risotto eater. I appreciated the creaminess of the rice mixed with the scallop, and even though it was a cream-based dish, it did not feel heavy at all. The service was very friendly, and everything came out in a timely manner, which I especially appreciated considering we had a big group. Overall, I will always try to find a reason to come back here, as this place really does take the cake for me when it comes to Kei concept restaurants.

I walked up to the hostess podium and I was ignored. Then I said that I was checking in for 5:30p reservations and the hostess said " that's gonna be much later than. I'll probably get your party in closer to 6:30p." Obviously I was upset by this response since we drove over an hour to this restaurant for the sole purpose of a celebration of life. If reservations were going to be ignored then I would not have bothered making them in a timely matter as I was instructed to do by the organizer of the evening. I basically got the brush off like there was nothing they could do since people were not leaving (including walk-ins) after a 90 min dining limit was posted outside. I was very peeved about this response and said clearly that is not my problem yet I am being penalized. My first encounter with the hostess carried throughout my visit. Our servers name was Linda and she took our drink order as soon as we were seated, however it did seem to take a while for our drinks to arrive. Apologies were made again for the wait but at this point it was clear there was gonna be an issue throughout the meal. I ordered a Caprese salad with brussels sprouts to share family style .When my salad arrived there was no basil. It was just mozzarella and tomatoes, balsamic and olive oil with a dried herb sprinkled on top. When I asked my server if this is how the Caprese is served she said yes. I never had a Caprese with no leaves of basil. Needless to say it's not what I wanted nor expected. My sprouts were dry and overcooked. Linda was truly trying to be accommodating. I could tell she is working very hard to satisfy our group despite the fact the restaurant was packed. Linda was great. We decided to share key lime pie and the warm butter cake w/ ice cream and raspberry sauce. The key lime pie was fine. The warm butter cake was a bit different as it had a hard sugar top. Ice cream with raspberry sauce on the side as well as below. It was too much sauce for my taste. More like a jelly doughnut. My blueberry pomegranate margarita was the best part of my meal. There were so many things that may seem small but were enhanced because I was already upset. The fact the restaurant overly committed and couldn't handle the amount of people was a real issue.

She prepared a few different dishes with it, including sushi cuts and a spicy salmon bowl, and both turned out absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place you can trust for quality seafood, especially when it's being used for raw dishes like sushi. Highly recommend this market for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality fish.

    I'd round my 4.5 up to a 5. The owners were incredibly kind and took the time to answer all of our…read morequestions from how best to enjoy the fish to explaining what they currently had in stock. We ordered the toro, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail and I can definitely see myself coming back here often. If I'm being completely honest, the toro didn't quite meet my expectations, which is the only reason I hesitated to give it a perfect score. That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything. Anyways our sushi night at home that fed three people to the brim was around ~90 and was a success thanks to D&D seafood
