Happy Saturday!!!

We LOVE when our guests choose ZINI to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, friendships, milestones or simply a night together. ❤️

Hospitality is deeply rooted in many Asian cultures. Growing up, we were taught that when someone enters your home, you FEED them! No guest should ever leave hungry or thirsty. 😉

A few fun things you may experience when visiting homes across different parts of Asia:

🍚 Food is a love language. Being offered more food even when you insist you're full is often a way of showing care and generosity.

🥢 Sharing is part of the experience. Instead of everyone ordering only for themselves, meals are often placed in the center so everyone can taste, share and enjoy together.

🍵 Guests are taken care of first. Whether it's water, food or another pour, making sure a guest is comfortable and well fed is an important expression of hospitality.

That spirit is part of what we want you to feel at ZINI.

Come hungry. Come curious. Bring people you love. Let us take care of the rest.

Come Experience ZINI. RESERVE your seat today! https://toast.app/r/zinirsvp

My heart is so full. ❤️ Yesterday’s Grand Opening was more than a celebration—it was a reminder of how much love, support, and community it took to bring ZINI to life.

To our family, friends, team, and everyone who has supported this journey—THANK YOU. Seeing ZINI filled with so much love meant more to me than I can put into words.

And now… we are officially OPEN! 🎉

We’re open TODAY at 5PM and looking forward to welcoming you, serving you, and sharing the ZINI experience with you.

This is only the beginning. ❤️

You’ve Been Asking… What’s on the Grand Opening Menu? Here It Is!

Throughout our soft launch, we took you on a journey through our different collections and for our Grand Opening, we’re bringing back some of your favorites! Our limited menu celebrates the flavors, stories, and cultures of Asia through ZINI style small plates made for sharing and exploring.

🇱🇦 And From My Native Country of Laos…

We’re kicking off our new ZINI Soup Series with Khao P**n, a traditional Lao comfort dish featuring rice vermicelli noodles in a fragrant, creamy coconut red curry broth layered with herbs, aromatics, and Southeast Asian flavors. It’s warm, complex, comforting, and a dish that brings a little piece of Laos to the ZINI table.

Before Grand Opening, we’ll be in the ZINI Test Kitchen, training our newer sous chefs and perfecting each dish so our team is ready to serve our community. We’ll be sharing some behind the scenes photos over the next few days, so stay tuned!
