Very interesting place with combination Japanese and Italian dishes. The restaurant is a great place to hang out with friends, nice, chill atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was a surprise, everything we tried was very well done and delicious. Tuna jalapeño poppers are a must, the sushi rolls have interesting combinations and were very good. The ramen was another big surprise, broth was awesome. Definitely a place to visit several times as you have a wide selection on the menu.

it's a hidden gem! My friend found this place & sent it over to me to try so I came on by. This menu is HUGE! Maybe a little too huge... lol. I promise you though, whatever mood you're in, you'll find something here to eat. They have pastas, pizza, rice, sushi, ramen... list goes on!!! They have it all. I was super impressed at how refreshing the protein sushi roll was. The fried rice was flavorful. The gyoza was alright - I wouldn't get it again. The sashimi was perfection. Large slices of fish that were amazing quality. I don't remember the name of the pasta we got (pictured below) but it was incredible. We added some lemon on top & were in pasta Heaven. Will absolutely come back here to try more items. Prices are worth it & portions are large!

Cinkuni is Japanese Italian Fusion restaurant in North Park. This fusion combo is so unique that I had to try these this place. They have a pretty vast menu with delicious flavors that merge both Japanese and Italian cuisines. Some of the dishes that I tried here a- Mixed Tempura , Seaweed Salad , Focaccia Bread with rosemary butter , Vegan San Diego Roll, Sailor Moon , Fried Artichoke Inari, Nigiri , Pappardelle Cinkuni (my favorite) , Vegan Tan Tan Ramen & Topo Gigio Pizza (kid friendly)

We stumbled upon this place while out and about and decided to try and it were so glad we did.... it was amazing! They have a huge variety of food and drink and nothing wasn't amazing. The ramen bowls were huge. Highly recommend!

:::: FOOD :::: This is a good place to have ramen and and a variety of sushi rolls. They're good at doing good unique combinations and the pasta is ok too. :::: DRINKS :::: I really like the drinks here. They have a good variety of beers. I tried a rose beer and it was really good. ::: SERVICE :::: The service is excellent. The waiters are doing a great job here. Always taking care of you and checking how are you doing. :::: PLACE :::: The decoration is ok. Reason for just liking this place it has to do with the amount of flies here. There are so many, the place looks clean but it impresses me every time that I go for the amount of mosquitoes or flies that are flying over your food. This last time one got stucked in my red wine. This is probably something very personal but I can't stand those mosquitoes. I find them truly disgusting. If you seat there an take a look at the wall you can see how many of them are, waiting to get to your food. A shame, ' cause I really like this place.

When you see “Italian and Japanese fusion,” a fair amount of trepidation is understandable. We avoided trying this place for months, not understanding how sushi, ramen, pizza, and pasta could occupy the same menu. But honest to God, it works! And it’s all quite good. Don’t be afraid to try items with red sauce, as the miso is really subtle. It’s a great tomato sauce. The pasta and gnocchi is all handmade, fresh, and delicious. Starters: recommend the garlic edamame, calamari, and mixed tempura. I’d order them all again. We visited with a party of 7 and everyone loved their entrees.

I can’t even describe with words how great this food is! There is a huge selection to choose from on their menu, and each item has been crafted with care. They use a true wood fire grill (most places just say they do and use a gas stove). The food here is unmatched and the heart/soul put into it shines above the rest. I could come here every week without getting tired of the taste.

Great place for Italian and Japanese fusion! They open at 4pm Monday to Friday, Ave they have a good happy hour The food is interesting, but great. They have various takes on pizza, pasta, and ramen

The place is okay. Their thing is the Asian/Italian fusion cuisine and a nice variety of drinks (beers, sake, etc.). I enjoyed the spicy garlic edamame appetizer. Tried their Tokotsu Ramen and was okay. The Margherita Pizza with added Italian sausage (they don't have pepperoni) was also okay. Enjoyed a Japanese Lager from a local brewery.

Highly recommend this place! Definitely will come back again~ ❤️ The food was absolutely delicious with so many yummy options. I wanted to order one of everything, but there's always time to come back and try something different. The interesting thing I've never seen before is that their Lil pizza appetizer they give you like breadsticks comes with a little butter cup that's lit up like a candle. You're supposed to wait until the fire goes out to have it melt the butter away, but you could totally just dip the pizza in it if you can't wait to eat it any longer. The pizza you order also comes out on of those wood boards with the handle that you see when moving the pizza in and out of the brick oven! The ramen, especially the Godzilla, is a high recommend. Love the taste of the meat soaked in the tonkotsu soup, and the noodles were so soft and long enough to continuously slurp up~ The desserts, absolutely divine. Big fan of their matcha tiramisu with lovely presentation. There were just no complaints at all with the food, I'm just sad I don't have enough space to eat it right then and there, but at least I can eat it for leftovers! The servers and staff are all lovely people. One of the owners also came by to check on us and saved a pizza from Falling over! Was all fun 🤭 The atmosphere is fun and cozy. Absolutely adore the mural and art on the walls and they have a cozy sitting area in the corner with a big screen TV to watch a football game. You could also see the big brick pizza oven and them making the pizzas from scratch. Just a lovely mix of the Italian Japanese combo~

This Japanese Italian fusion was amazing. The menu is overwhelming but there’s a little bit of everything for everyone. We tried their house Sashimi, it was great! Tonkotsu ramen was solid. Loved the egg and broth flavor, the pizza was the start of the show. I wasn’t sure about shrimp on a pizza but the miso marinara sauce thing going on was amazing. Highly recommend you check it out and try whatever you’re in the mood. Some others friends tried the sushi and others pizzas and they all said similar great things!

I ordered take out here on a whim as most of my normal spots had closed at 8. I was happy to see so many vegan options and ended up just sticking with the vegan crunchy roll. Overall flavor was great, though I don't think I'm personally the biggest fan of heart of palm. That didn't stop me from enjoying the roll, and certainly won't stop me from coming back to try more!

Incredible. I love both Japanese and Italian food. To be perfectly honest I was not interested in trying this place. Typically when I hear “fusion” I assume it’s a gimmick. Well, I was soooo wrong. After a few clients telling me about it i thought to myself it was time to let that silliness go. I am so glad I did. It’s wonderful. One of the best restaurants I’ve ate at in San Diego. I hope this place stays for a long time. People need to try this place.
