I was thoroughly impressed. I walked in before a show at the Fox Theater and Itani was packed! I asked if I could sit at the counter. They asked a couple people to move to get me a seat. So friendly!
The bartender who was also my server was friendly, but seemed overwhelmed. On a Tuesday night they were packed by 6pm and had multiple people waiting for take out.
The cocktail menu was surprising innovative and the drink menu was extensive. The cocktail I had was well prepared.
The menu is simple, but has a good selection of appetizers, ramen, and rice bowls. I was in a hurry so I just ordered ramen, but the person got the waffle fries next to me and they looked amazing!
My pork belly ramen was hearty, had a great tasting broth, and was full of goodies. They took the time to arrange all the items in the bowl.
As mentioned it was a busy restaurant. The vibe was loud and energetic.
Highly recommended!
Great food and the most attentive waiter...how extraordinary ????
I was glad to see that the menu was simple and classic. All told, the food was super tasty and the portions made sense for the price. I had the Ume margarita which I highly recommend, and especially eat the garnish that comes with it. Yum.
Great flavor in the ramen. Nice and fresh ingredients. Staff is really friendly, the place is clean and has great decor.
