    Curry Chicken
    Brent P.

    Super delicious! Had the chicken curry. Katsu was delicate, moist and flavorful. Sauces and curry were spot on. Sesame salad dressing was delicious and ginger teriyaki sauce on rice made the rice alone worth it. I would definitely go back. Service was quick and friendly and place seemed clean. It is in the food court for H mart. Tasty!!!

    Errands after errands we did passed by hmart and ended up checking out there food hall. This place was honestly one of the best places I've had curry katsu. I had to request separating the sauce since my mom was with me.. and man she even mentioned the katsu was crispy and seasoned well.. also! this was just one order and just be aware of there portions which is great for its price.

    Use the sauce on the rice....

    Inside H Mart is the food court. Go in and find KZ Mori towards the left rear of the eating place. Our first time here and we knew the foods would be Asian influence. So we know "Katsu" is like a Hawaiian or Japanese breaded protein on top of a scoop of white rice. I ordered a pork and a chicken small Katsu Bowl. A little beeper would let me know when ready...it was taking a long time. Finally got our two bowls bagged with utensils and a small container of the sauce. Tried the pork and first impression was .. thin cut and ok breading, but not savory.... sauce should probably be Teri like. Tried the chicken.. hmm it is moist and better flavor although the breading is the same... rice was plenty and dry so use the sauce on the rice. We don't know if we should have picked Korean or even a sandwich or a Bobba or a hot dog... we just knew Katzu and KZ Mori did not really impress.

    Curry Fish

    delicious!! the worker in the front is always really kind. curry chicken (5/5) - my go to! the portion sizes are so good for the price. the curry is thick and has a slight kick to it, which i enjoy. the plates are loaded with rice and cabbage. fish curry (5/5) - my boyfriends favorite! he loves the fish, it's always fried well. everything is so yummy for the price and portion. definitely try it if you're in the food court!

    It was our first time here and we got the curry chicken. My boyfriend and I both shared this dish and it is more than enough. It comes with side of rice, miso soup, salad and the curry. Every sauce was so good! Highly recommend trying this place out. Everything was so good and the chicken was so juicy and perfect. So flavorful and very good quality. The service was really good. We went on a Thursday for lunch. Plenty of seating since it's a food court. I love the environment. I love that you can go shopping and then eat a yummy meal and dessert if you want!

    Mixed Katsu Plate

    We just had our mandatory Hmart food court date this weekend and tried out KZ Mori. For $19 we got the Mix Katsu Combo with Curry served on the side. The tray came with miso soup, cabbage salad and katsu sauce! Pickled radishes were at the counter for self service as well! We were there late afternoon so the wait for food was quick, about 10 minutes before our order was done. Portions are huge, we ended up sharing the entree between the two of us! Light batter on the katsu slices, with such a good crunch to each bite! The chicken tasted a tad juicier than the pork but overall each bite was a great compliment to the curry! Definitely a great stop for a good deal and a great lunch!

    Inside the huge HMart food court. Got the fish katsu. Perfectly seasoned and fried. Crispy outside and moist inside. All sauces goes well with the fish. It also came with salad and miso soup. A healthy choice. The staff is friendly. A casual setting with lots of table. Huge parking.

    Food and service was really good. I got the tofu katsu and my son got a side of cheese katsu. The breading was fantastic, as was the katsu sauce. The portion of katsu was huge. The only thing I might soggiest is that the tofu be a little bit thinner as it was a little on the softer side. I feel like if it was thinner, it would accent the breading better. Definitely heading back to this place.

    Store front

    Located in HMart food court. We ordered the Pork Katsu. Customer service was 5/5. The taste of everything was fine/average but at that price point, compared to local sit down restaurants that serve katsu at a lower price before tip, I do not think it is worth it. If you're just looking for a quick bite to eat and have to make a quick decision, this would be a solid choice as it does offer generous portions. However, I can't see myself craving this place and wanting to come back. Plenty of seating during a weekday, good luck finding a spot in weekends.

    Ordered the chicken katsu curry and really enjoyed it. The katsu was crispy without being oily and I also like that it came with cabbage miso soup and rice. It is a big portion so it was worth the price. The worker was also very friendly and food came out fairly fast

    Chicken Katsu Curry
    Zephaniah E.

    Huge portions.... was so much food I had to share with my gf- forgot to include the miso soup in my picture Don't judge a book by its cover truly, I initially came in with a low bar Surprisingly the curry was super delicious and flavorful The chicken too was soo moist and super tender probably the best chicken katsu I've ever had

    These are the people  I was talking about
    May W.

    I came back to this place because my first experience was very good. This time they were two employees at the front of the restaurant and when I asked questions they spoke in Spanish to each other instead of answering my question. They told me I didn't know what I was talking about. The woman told the man working there just give her whatever. They didn't know that I understand Spanish. While I was waiting she killed a fly on the wall with her hand and never washed her hands. The man was the one that was handling my food thank God! I don't think I'll be coming back dies to customer service or lack there of and that the employee aren't hygienic apparently. It cost nothing to be a nice person. I guess Kz Mori doesn't feel the same way.

The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere with soft, yellow lighting that makes it feel cozy. There was background music playing which added to the energy, although it was loud enough that conversation took a little more effort than I'd have liked. Service was attentive from the beginning, with the server checking in regularly. I checked in at 8:05, was seated by 8:10, and got my food around 8:30. I ordered the Miso Bacon Carbonara which was delicious. The sauce was rich and creamy without feeling too heavy, and the miso added a sweet flavor that made it different from a traditional carbonara. The bacon was cooked well, crispy around the edges while still tender and the slight kick of spice kept each bite interesting. Overall, I'd definitely come back for this dish.

I liked the egg yolk to make it creamier. -Momonoki chicken wing: don't bother. not worth it. overall, they've seemed to nail it on the pasta dishes. I liked all of the 3 we ordered. we were still hungry after the meal but ran out of budget.

I've been here several times and I have only good things to say. They have a seasonal summer menu that we did not try for this visit but it's nice to know there's new items to try.

I loved the arugula apple salad on top that added an extra bit of tanginess to the dish. -Truffle Funghi Pizza: Amazing thin pizza. The crust was soft and fluffy which I loved. -Spicy Miso Carbonara Pasta: One of the favorites for a reason. Creamy and savory with fun thick bacon bits. Shoutout to our server Danny.

I went with a group of 8, and we opted for family style. The umeboshi spring salad was fresh and delicious, sweet and savory with pistachios for crunch. Truffle cheese bread was served warm in a skillet. It came with a generous serving of mozzarella and ricotta on top, with honey on the side for drizzling. The crab roe spaghetti had a rich sauce with a nice sweetness from the crab, plus a generous portion of crab on top with dehydrated tomato and stracciatella. We kept the sauce for dipping some of the bread and pizza crust! Spicy miso carbonara was their recommendation as a popular dish. We got it less spicy, and it was pretty subtle. All of the flavors blended perfectly together. The egg yolk was dropped whole on top for you to mix in yourself. It was very savory and not too salty. Mentaiko pizza was super flavorful with a light layer of mentaiko cream under the mozzarella with nori, bonito, octopus and corn on top. The crust was delicious and chewy. It was an interesting mix and everything worked together perfectly. The service was great - very efficient, helpful and they checked on us periodically and made sure we had serving utensils since we were dining family style. They do accept reservations, which I would recommend! The space is bright and open, and has a casual family friendly feel. It's clean and modern with no pretension. The bathroom was also clean. We landed at under $35 per person for the meal, no beverages or dessert. I loved INI and would return without hesitation!
