I'm often told that my opinion matters to a lot of people because I'm usually right. So you can take my review with varying grains of salt, depending on which way you slice it.
With that being said, this restaurant is definitely a Nin-NO for me... My coworker foolishly thought that this would be a good place to have lunch because it's an aesthetically pleasing restaurant to look at. However, the food and the service are equally as unappetizing.
Our dining experience started with an appetizer, a nice 45-minute wait for our waiter to tell us that the food is coming soon. Following this was the main course; a table next to us being served spoiled fish and having management not giving one sliver of concern over the fact that she may have had rotten fish (good job). Last but not least was dessert, our ramen was watery and tasted as if Gordon Ramsay's mute half-brother made it while he was in a coma (probably from the food poising from this place). My friend's beef udon tasted like an abusive childhood with not even a semblance of a brighter future.
All in all, this place is trash and should be treated as trash. Ninki is only still in business because the owner luckbox'd the prime location that has given it this halo of invincibility which has allowed it to get away with such shitty food and service.
