Inaho

This is one of the best Sushi restaurants that I've been to in London. Coming from Seattle, WA we know our sushi and Inaho has extremely fresh and great sushi. True, it is a bit expensive, but the food is worth it. Especially compared to some of the other sushi restaurants whose quality is so far below Inaho's (and not much less expensive).

I would highly recommend getting a reservation. It is extremely small and can be crowded. And because it's so small, it can be a little slow if it's crowded. But if you love sushi and can appreciate good sushi, try it out. The california roll is the best I've ever had (they add fresh salmon) and the Udon is very good. Plus the fish is the freshest fish I've had in London.

Try it out, for a real sushi experience. Unless you are the type that likes Yo Sushi, in which case, you might as well go to Tesco and get sushi there ;)

Hope you enjoy!

We ate at this restaurant on referral of a work colleague. I honestly cannot see what all the rave is about. We arrived at 7.30pm for our booking and the place was completely empty but for one table until we left at 8.30pm. Whilst the mixed sashimi was indeed very fresh it was certainly not value for money - £15 for 7 pieces (small) of salmon and tuna. We ended up spending just over £50 for two (with only one beer each) and left feeling hungry and trying to calculate where our money went. We have eaten at many Japanese retaurants throughout London and I would honestly say that this one is right at the bottom of our list. It is especially dissapointing when that area of London offers so many other fantastic restaurants. To conclude the service was very cold and rushed - extremely surprising in an empty restaurant.

We are locals and we really enjoy dinner at Inaho. Part of the charm is the limited language of the staff. The saki is excellent and the food delicious. Always a good sign if there are Japanese in the restaurant which is all the time.

Excellent Japanese food. A lovely relaxed family run restaurant. The price is extremely good as the produce is very expensive. The service is very good too.

Sadly I can't agree with the generally positive reviews of the other two users. I was extremely disappointed by my visit to this restaurant. Not only was service very slow, unreliable and unhelpful (one of the dishes I ordered - crucially the rice - never turned up, another had a hair in it and they brought one of my companions the wrong dish), but the portions were frankly meagre and there were no vegetarian main courses on offer (not something I find acceptable in this day and age). And all this for a ridiculously over-priced bill.

This is very unusual. Tiny, old fashioned, you'll be lucky if you waiter understands much English, but will probably be very charming. Food is generally excellent, in a home made kind of way (Japanese home). Calm, unhurried atmosphere, but the lighting is dreadful. Surprisingly not at all cheap, but very charming.

The food is sublime but the wine is limited, but good if chosen with care(dry white. Check that the wine is cold!)

The raw tuna is exquisite.

We regularly visit the place, and always have very good service.

It seats at most 10.

I like this little place for a very casual dinner after work or if you want to show someone a very unique place in London. The food is amazing! the place is tiny and although only one waitress, she does quite well. It's esentially a little wooden hut in the middle of bayswater /nottinghill with decor that reminds me of a 1970's swiss chalet /cafe. I still really like it though - a big refreshing change to pretentious / over devloped trendy places with lousy food.
