    Curry Katsu
    Kristine P.

    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.

    1. The meal was simple and comforting! The portion of the rice matches the portion of the meat! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! It is located inside a food hall! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with our order! It was ready within 10 mins! 4. There are only indoor seatings available! There are a lot of tables! 5. Parking lot is huge! Nearby parking can get crowded depending on time and day! Note: Carts are not allowed in the food hall! Photo: Mini Pork Katsu with Rice

    Pork katsu
    Cat N.

    After walking around the food court area in H Mart we decided on this place for lunch. KZ Mori specializes in curry and katsu. They offer a variety of different types of katsu including pork, chicken, fish, cheese and tofu. Their menu is pretty simple. You can make any of them a combo if you like. But if you want something different then they also have curry udon as well. We shared their curry pork katsu. Our pork was perfectly fried and the meat was moist and delicious. The curry was a little on the bland side but I still enjoyed it. A portion was very generous. It also came with some pickled radish, pickled ginger, a cabbage salad, rice, and some miso soup. Pricing was very affordable and we were very satisfied. Like mentioned, it is located inside Hmart but worth going just for this. We even saw lots of Hmart workers getting their lunch here as well. I would definitely come back if craving katsu and don't want to go anywhere too far.

    This spot is located inside the new Hmart! The food court is big and has a ton of other options as well in case you wanna come with a group and they are in the mood for something else. There's a good amount of tables and chairs food court style. We ordered at the counter and they provide me a buzzer. Even though it was their grand opening weekend, we were able to get a table quickly. The portion is HUGE!! I ordered the curry udon combo and my bf got the mixed combo. The Katsu was so crispy and the curry udon had a nice kick to it. I'm so excited about this new food court!

    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!!!

    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 Chicken

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

We ordered 3 things - vongole pasta. Previously they offered it uni but this one had claims and shrimp. We also got the pesto and the calamari. Calamari was crispy but it also was slightly too salty and seemed to be a lot of batter. The calamari pieces were small. The pesto pasta was okay, but the pesto wasn't the traditional pesto. I couldn't put my finger on it but it must've been the dashi. The udon was cooked well though. Soft, definitely not al dente. This vongole was the biggest miss. It had a taste that we also couldn't figure out, but it was not enjoyable to eat. We left the meal very dissatisfied. The friend I went with, who has gone before, also agreed it was disappointing. As someone who hates to waste food, we were very close to leaving nearly half of each dish there. My friend ended up taking it back. Later that evening, we both were feeling off. Idk, perhaps it was a coincidence. In the end, it was a truly sad experience.

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.

There were no physical menus and we scanned a QR code to see the menu. We ordered a couple things off the happy hour menu and loved it! Scallop Crudo - probably my favorite dish from the night! the sauce was tangy and citrusy, which was perfect for me. Tom Kha Ramen - This is a hit every time and I was so happy to see it on the happy hour menu. I'm not normally a ramen fan, but the broth is great! Corn cheese - A standard corn cheese IMO Beef Curry - DELICIOUS and had SO MUCH meat. I think this was so worth the price!

Another great place to get a quick sushi fix.

Their customer service is always on point and your designated roll chef knows how to fill up your taste buds. Furikake Fries - Skinny fries tossed with umami flavored bits. Hot, crispy and great for sharing. 5/5 Crispy Rice Tartar - Thinly diced salmon tartar on a bed of fried rice squares. Sweet and savory taste from the fresh salmon tartar and a crunchy exterior from the rice. Where hot and cold meets for the explosion of flavors. 5/5 Spicy Salmon, Hamachi, Unagi and lobster were all fresh tasing. Rice was not mushy and had equal parts to fish and rice. Portion size is not the best but you're paying for the quality over quantity, so expect a heavy bill if you have a big appetite. 4/5 Overall, it's a nice place to go to. If you're going during lunch or dinner rush hours, expect to wait 30-45 minutes so check in early if you can!
