CinKuni Restaurant is our family's favorite spot for dinner. We find something for everyone here, with delicious pastas, sushi, ramen, and a special menu just for the kids. I like trying a new dish every time we go, and I’ve always been happy with what I pick. The service is awesome, and the vibe is great.

Cute, clean place with a casual vibe. I love the fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine. I had really good ramen that had meatballs in it. It was a TON of food and I couldn’t finish it. They have a Sailor Moon option on the menu that looks so cute. I will be back :)
