INI Ristorante Fountain Valley Reviews from The Last Year
this is a very late review as i dined here for my birthday
this is a very late review as i dined here for my birthday last year, but the food & experience is just that memorable! it's a bit pricy, but this is definitely a spot for special occasions and such. plenty of seating & the space is decorated to feel very open, but definitely make reservations if you can! it gets busy quick. our servers were attentive and friendly - they were able to accommodate us and change our seating when we asked (just felt a bit cramped in our initial spot). the truffle cheese bread (and honey) is a must!! one time, we had actually stopped by to make a to-go order just for that. the spicy miso carbonara may look small, but it was filling! no complaints, honestly, but the servers here pack your leftovers - our server had actually forgotten to pack the pizza (didn't realize until we got home, but we got taken care of & refunded once we noticed!), so just make sure to check you've got everything.
Great fusion restaurant very flavorful, service was great ,
Great fusion restaurant very flavorful, service was great , ambiance is outstanding would recommend this place.
10/10 would come back.
This was a great spot for a celebratory dinner out with friends, and the service was great. Shoutout to Cat for being a great server! She was super attentive, kind, and considerate (e.g. asking us for allergies, refilling water quickly, etc). Loved her! Our food was amazing, especially the appetizers. You gotta try the Truffle Cheese Bread! (my table finished it super quickly lol) The ambiance as well was just great. I already am recommending the spot to friends and family. The interior is beautiful and the dining experience overall was memorable and sweet

The salad n truffle bread was AWESOME!!! The servers were all very helpful and patient
Update: Received refund and response to my online message.
Thank you for following up.
Small but delicious portions.
Great customer service and the ambiance was dim but loud because of the other people talking. Great for celebrations or dinner for two. Also has a bar for those who love cocktails or other drinks.
The uni carbonara and mentai pasta were both amazing and
The uni carbonara and mentai pasta were both amazing and couldn't pick a favorite! It was so packed on a Sunday for lunch time so sat at the bar but was perfect for 2 people. The inside of the restaurant is decorated well and we'll definitely be coming back again.
First of all, this has to be one of my top favorite
First of all, this has to be one of my top favorite restaurants! The restaurant has plenty of parking. Which is so convenient and something you don't need to stress over. The service is amazing. I've been here 3 times and have always had the same waiter. He is always friendly and so helpful. I'm so sad to not know his name, but he made all experiences here memorable! The food and drinks are amazing! I always get the Truffle Cheese Bread. It's savory and can be sweet with your preference of adding the honey. My absolute favorite cocktail is the Pearadise Sour (recommended by waiter). And I always order the Spicy Miso Carbonara which is so balanced. Dinner here is always great. The dining room is aesthetic too. Very clean and a cute space. Can't wait to come here to try their Brunch!
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE! I have been trying to go to all the Kei
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE! I have been trying to go to all the Kei Concepts restaurants and this place did not disappoint. Came here for my birthday with one of my friends around 10:30AM and there were plenty of seating. Though, it is best to make a reservation ahead of time because it wasn't until 12PM when more people started to trickle in. We were stuck on what to order since everything looked and smelled so good. We ended up with Spicy Miso Carbonara, Beef Carpaccio, and Truffle Funghi Pizza. The spicy miso carbonara was very tasty and creamy. The udon was cooked to perfection with a nice bite to it. The Beef Carpaccio was thinly sliced, fresh, and got me wanting more. The mild sauce on top ties it all together. I also really loved the arugula they provided on top of it. The Truffle Funghi Pizza was very interesting! I was sort of scared ordering this considering how it was just mushroom and I'm more of a meat type of gal, however, the truffle is what made me choose this dish. Bite after bite, it was FULL of truffle flavor. The mushroom was very subtle and was able to absorb most of the truffle as well. I'm also glad they didn't add too many ingredients since it would've taken away the star ingredient of this dish. Overall, it was very filling and worth the try. They also provide a complimentary dessert if it's your birthday. The brownie was so soft and warm. The ice cream was a great touch to it as it balances out the chocolate from the brownies. Overall, I would love to be back. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was bright and cozy, and the food was delicious. Parking was also shared amongst other restaurants, so parking was easy. One thing I wish they had was a discount to try all the other Kei Concepts within a certain number of days.
Clean.
Spacious. Modern. Amazing food. Not one thing was a disappointment!! Ok well maybe that we came for lunch so there was no bone marrow to try. Besides that, every single thing - appetizers, main entree, desserts and drinks were 10/10. The customer service Mikey provided was the best too! So glad we tried this place. We plan to come back for dinner to try the bone marrow. Thank you again for having something for everyone!
Kei Concepts does it again.
Fountain Valley Town Center is getting a valuable upgrade with the gradual real estate takeover by KC. INI Ristorante exudes that airy elegance with the natural light and earthy tones. Walk-ins are welcomed but reservations are strongly advised. Kanpachi Crudo -- The raw pureness of the kanpachi paired with pops of flavor from meyer lemon and blood orange awakened our tastebuds. Our meal was off to a great start! Truffle Cheese Bread -- Don't sleep on this one. If you love cheese and truffle, then you're in for a treat. The self-serve honey is the cherry on top (don't be shy and drizzle generously). Spicy Miso Carbonara -- I love a good carbonara and I love shiitake even more so naturally, we had to order this. It is truly a decadent pasta with a rich, eggy spicy miso cream. Each dish was carefully crafted to ensure every bite delivered a punch of flavor. If asked to return, it'll be, "I'M INI!"
Been here a couple times and they've always been great to
Been here a couple times and they've always been great to me! They get pretty busy so a reservation is always recommended. Super clean with cute plant decor. Julia was fantastic and always checked up on us. Always coming back to try something new so this time we got truffle cheese bread, spicy miso carbonara, veal bolognese, lobster arancini, garlic Parmesan fries, and the chocolate hazelnut cake. Food was amazing like always. The best was probably the lobster arancini for me, so crispy on the outside and packed with plenty of the lobster and risotto on the inside. Super flavorful! Chocolate hazelnut cake was also a favorite, very chocolatey and decadent! Would definitely save room for dessert for this!
Here you go .
.. 04/20/24, 4:17pm order, check 141. Table 21 Btw, we gave approx 20% tip as generosity in spite of sending us away. In all dining places I've been, I am always allowed and able to finish my food... even at fast food dining! $$$, for what? Sorry, but really horrible experience.
oo I am very impressed! My friend recommended INI for
oo I am very impressed! My friend recommended INI for dinner and when I saw they were part of the "Kei Concepts" umbrella, I was down to try! The only other Kei restaurant I've been to so far is Nep in Irvine. We arrived at 6pm on a Tuesday and there was no wait and plenty of tables available. We ordered: Cheesy truffle bread 8/10 - a decadent appetizer stuffed with cheese and a white alfredo-like sauce. It's served with honey in a drizzle bottle, but the honey comes out reallllly slowly. I would've preferred if it was a squeeze-y jar or a dip. The bread experience is OK, some pieces are really hard while others were fluffier and the spread of white sauce/cheese on the bread is very uneven. Short rib gnocchi 10/10 - My favorite of the evening! The gnocchi was deliciously al dente and the short rib was saucy and yummy. I loved how there was pumpkin and mushrooms in the mix as well. Perfectly executed. Branzino 9.5/10 - I didn't have any bones in my fish! It was cooked perfectly tender and the sauce complements well. There's also a salad on top that pairs perfectly with the dish. We had leftovers and they box it all up for you which is nice. Service was really friendly. There are plenty of table options for smaller and larger groups. The menu isn't super extensive, but you can tell it's well curated. Lots of free parking in the parking lot! Compared to Nep, I actually liked INI a lot more. I will certainly be back!
My family and I had a great time.
The food is delicious as always and the service was beyond expectations. Thank you Bryant for the best service tonight! Will definitely be back

came in on a tuesday night and waited 30 minutes for a party of 2. the interior of the restaurant is super cute & modern. i ordered 1 app & 2 entrees. the truffle bread was good but it didn't captivate me. the pizza was mid in my opinion. i got the prosciutto & burrata flavor. there wasn't enough marinara sauce ratio & the crust was okay. the veal bolognese was cooked perfectly but needed a little more sauce. overall, i don't think i would come back.
I used to LOVE this place - the truffle cheese bread was
I used to LOVE this place - the truffle cheese bread was amazing and I would recommend it to all my friends but I went last night and my experience was incredibly disappointing. The cheese bread had significantly less cheese & truffle cream sauce to the point where it was bone dry and more like a glorified stack of croutons. Also unfortunately the service by our waitress was lackluster and I had to find someone after waiting 20 minutes for the check. The restaurant wasn't too busy as it was a Monday. Maybe the hype of this place died down and the quality is going with it?
I'm a huge fan of KEI concept restaurants.
Their collections never disappoint. I'm willing to drive from LA to OC just to explore their collections. This restaurant is no exception they deliver the most outstanding fusion Japanese Italian dishes and the combination works. Their service is quite fast and you can always book a reservation or your upcoming visit or if you're willing to wait or walked in there's tons of stuff to do around the area. Interior is very aesthetic for me because I love wooden decoration but at the same time not too cabin looking but modern. Parking is relatively easy because there's plenty in the plaza.
We love INI! Every time we drive up to the OC we try to
We love INI! Every time we drive up to the OC we try to grab a meal here. They have suchhh good pasta AND pizza AND drinks. It has truly never failed to disappoint. Our favorites are the spicy miso pasta and chicken Alfredo (such tender chicken). For pizza we love a good funghi pizza. Really enjoyed all the cocktails we got, including the paradise sour and yuzu Rita. this is definitely our fav out of the Kei concept restaurants! The staff is so nice and welcoming and it is so bright and modern and pretty inside!
- i recommend you reserve or get there right when they
- i recommend you reserve or get there right when they open! - beautiful interior with lots of natural lighting streaming in when we went for brunch - quick and attentive service! since it was our first time our server gave us great recommendations food i recommend: (1) seafood mafaldine - spicy tomato sauce with a light hint of seafood (but with plenty of chunks of fresh seafood mixed in it as well!), i loved the noodle texture which the sauce was able to cling onto well - spicy miso carbonara: good and unique too but it became too heavy/creamy towards the end, i would share this dish with others! - truffle mushroom pizza: also good but not mind blowing and i feel like you could get it from other places! - calamari: i found the batter to be too mushy and doughy! but good portions for sharing

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
