Service was great! Punctual and kind. Very attentive. We got seated pretty quickly but I want to share even though it says Hibachi in the title, they do not do the traditional hibachi where they cook in front of you. It is an item you can order off the menu. The rice was supposed to be fried rice but it wasn't any type of fried rice I'd had before. The ginger salad was good as was the soup. All and all, it was fine I was just really wanting that hibachi experience. read more

I had a friend who was craving sushi, so I suggested this place. I was talking it up for having cute seasonal rolls since I got a candy cane roll in December. Imagine my surprise when I find out that it wasn't a December special and I can order a candy cane roll year round. I ordered this roll and a teriyaki salmon bento box. Everything was fantastic. The salmon has a great glaze and was cooked to perfection. The dinner box was a huge portion (especially with the additional sushi roll) so I had lunch the next day. The staff are always very friendly and there are never enough people in here for how good this place is. read more

After traveling back and forth to the hospital to see our son, we stopped here to have a sit down dinner. We were seeking something quiet yet with a delicious menu which this place had that exactly. The restaurant is very small but has plenty of space to accommodate small or larger parties. The staff from the moment entering to leaving were extremely kind and eager to assist. The menu has tons to offer which is a nice change compared to other sushi/hibachi spots. The beef teriyaki bento box was delicious. My husband loved his chicken yakisoba bowl. We loved the metal cups, they kept our drinks ice cold and prevented the sweaty cups you normally get at other places. We will absolutely be back in the future. Thank you! read more

Great value for the Bento box sashimi dinner! It comes with a salad, miso soup, California roll, sashimi and gyoza!! The service is fast and friendly! The fare hot and fresh!! Highly recommend!! read more

I've given inaka several tries now and I can't get past the subpar sushi. Last night was probably some of the worst service and sushi I've had in a very long time. We were seated very quickly around 6pm this past Saturday evening and quickly ordered beverages. It took some time for us to decide. When our server returned, I asked what was in the vegetable roll. Her response - "I don't know I am new." Fair enough, but then she assumed I wanted it and I had to clarify that I wanted to know what was in it before I ordered. When orders arrived, my sushi was a solid 10 minutes before other rolls at our table and my daughter's teriyaki chicken was another 5 minutes after that. I don't have to tell you that a 5 year old doesn't like waiting that long after the adults to get their meal. Her chicken was fine and a good portion. My sushi was horrible! All 3 of my rolls were half rice (see photo). And the rice was incredibly dry. The sweet potato was a tiny sliver with heavy breading and no flavor. The super duper roll was so coated in sauce it was impossible to taste the eel or salmon. I think I've given Inaka enough opportunities to unseat my favorites near my home - Hanaki in Chesapeake and Sakatomo in Virginia Beach. Most likely will not return. read more

We went thinking it was a Hibachi Grill but they cool it for you and bring it to the table. If you are going to g thinking you'll see the grill...it is not the place. The service was great and the food was very yummy...just no grill. read more

Came here with my friend to get our sushi fix. It wasn't fried due to the holiday week, so service was prompt. I got the dinner box which was great for the price. The soup was hot, the ginger dressing for the salad was great. Typically you get 1/2 a roll with a box, but you get a full California roll. I took the Yaki Soba home. My friend got a sushi roll which she enjoyed. Definitely a great spot for sushi or hibachi. read more

Ok this is a small place with a vibe all to itself. We wanted an early dinner so at 5 we were the only ones there. The service was great and attentive and even as it started to fill we were not lost. We ordered the gyoza to go with our hot tea. There were 6 with this ginger sauce that was delicious. They didn't last long. My wife ordered the gc tuna roll and the Christmas tree roll. They were good sized roles and loaded with stuff on top. Very nice and tasty. The gc tuna roll was the right kind of crunch and fresh tasting flavor. Piled high with spicy tuna. The Christmas tree roll was fresh goodness there was something on top that was clean tasting. I ordered the monster roll and the inaka mountain roll. Wow they were wonderfully delicious. The monster roll was spicy and fresh tasting with a sauce dripping down the side that added to the flavor profile and little smokiness the inaka mountain role was big and had a nice mild spice with a great co treat to the sweet rice. It was drive to get here but worth it. This place is great. They also have a hibachi menu which smelled great. Maybe next time Give this place a try you'll be glad you did. read more

None of us had ever been here but the reviews were very high! I had vegetable tempura. Everyone else had salad. They raved about the orange lemon peel dressing with mirin and maybe cashew butter. Yum! Excellent Sushi! Prices were reasonable for the quality. I'm a big eel person and I've been craving it! I was very pleased with the plumpness and amount of eel sauce. We like eel with avocado instead of cucumber. The California Roll, Philadelphia Roll all excellent. There was one roll that had a slightly toasted salmon filet resting on top of a whole roll. It was called Mt. Trashmore. It had a yummy sauce on top of the salmon. Very unique. Can't go wrong! I'll definitely be back! read more

First of all it is deceiving to have hibachi in the restaurant name when in fact you dont do in person hibachi grill. Came here for a hibachi experience. Ended up staying since it was our anniversary and didnt want to drive all over town trying to find another. Calamari had no flavor. We did order chicken & shrimp hibachi (cooked in kitchen and brought out to us) with fried rice. Not typical fried rice (no fried egg, no sauce, no bits of chicken in it. Not the best. Chicken and shrimp were flavorful. Very disappointed by the hibachi here. Sauces with hibachi were watered down. Sushi was great. Service was great. Won't be coming back though. read more

Some friends and I met here on a Friday evening at about 6:30pm. They were busy so we had to wait about 15-20 minutes or so. The owner showed us to our booth. She took our drink, appetizer, and dinner orders. Between the 4 of us, we ordered several specialty sushi rolls, salad, miso soup, and salmon hibachi. My miso soup was hot and yummy. I had the monster roll and the spicy volcano roll. They both were delicious! I was pretty happy with everything here. The service was great. The food was delicious; and prices were reasonable. The restaurant was clean, and the decor was very inviting. I will be coming back very soon. read more

One of my favorite places to hit up! have been here a few times now with my partner. The customer service is always top notch and the waitress is always so helpful is we want to try something new and ask for a suggestion. Plus they have one of our fav appetizers i haven't seen anywhere else , the 'Seasonal baby octopus'. full little baby octopus with a red sauce on it and its sooo good! Took some friends for the first time and they loved it as well so i defiantly suggest giving them a try!! read more

First time here and it was good, it's smaller than expected. The service is very good, they are attentive. For dinner we ordered the Japanese fried rice called Yakimesi for the lil one. For sushi we had the monster roll, Inaka mountain roll, and rainbow roll. The sushi was made well but were smaller in diameter than usual, that appears to be the style. For sashimi we had the salmon and tuna and it only came with 1 of each. All in all, we enjoyed the dinner. read more

I've heard good thinks about this place and I'm mad I waited so long to try them out. My waitress is so friendly and happy that I'll come back just for her! Their menu is simple and they offer hibachi, like you would get from a hibachi place that cooks right in front of you just unfortunately they don't, to sushi and noodle dishes. Everything was hot and yummy! Not salty, like you would get at other hibachi places. The rice was "buttery" I think? That might be their secret ingredient. And the veggies still had a bite and not mushy. And the 3 sauces they offer was a nice compliment to the meat too. I got the shrimp hibachi and it was plentiful. The salad dressing they use is like a orange/ginger sweet and not Mayo-y, like at some other hibachi places. The shrimp tempura roll was warm! Like the shrimp was still warm! And that's good because like some other hibachi places they're cold. Ok so to end this review in reference to other hibachi places LOL this place is definitely a place to try out for a non hibachi experience LOL! read more

Our family wanted to get together for lunch, but we were coming from multiple locations. Inaka opens for lunch, closing at 2:30pm, and reopens later for dinner. Knowing that we might be pushing the closing time, I explained our situation and was told that there wasn't an issue which made our time together more ch more enjoyable. They were very accommodating given the time and our party of nine. Nice selection of food and beer, wine, and sake. Thanks for making our family get together happen with little notice. read more

I'm so grateful to find Inaka sushi. The waitress was very friendly and my food was great. I ordered the steak hibachi. My plate was portioned well & could have easily had leftovers if I didn't eat it all. My coworker ordered the Pink Lady sushi. I have never in my life seen pink sushi, so it was cool to see. My coworker enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for sushi in the chesapeake area! read more

Inaka is my new favorite sushi restaurant. It's a wonderful local restaurant with a kind and caring staff. The food is always great and the place is nice and clean. It's located on Kempsville and Volvo, behind the gas station, and across the street from Harris Teeter. The parking lot is a little small, spots can be difficult during peak times. I recommend parking in the safe by the Smoothie place. Watch out for the spots marked 15 minutes. Inside is cozy. It seems big at first, but it's still a place you feel comfortable. There is two kinds of soy sauce on the table, regular and low sodium. You always have a napkin, a soy sauce dish, chopsticks, and a small plate. Their menu has lots of lovely sushi, there is often a specials menu too! There are some noodles, hibachi, and other kitchen dishes if sushi isn't for you. I really enjoy the sushi, the rice is nice and small and all the rolls have flavors that go together. They're accommodating if you want to swap out something or add a sauce. I've never had a messy roll here, so expect a tight roll that holds up as you eat it. The fish is fresh and tastes great. My favorite part here is the staff. This is what makes a good restaurant great. They are friendly and lovely to be around. I enjoy chatting when it's slow and I've enjoyed every experience here! read more

In the mood for hibachi and we were definitely steered by the name. Sad to see it wasn't cool in front of you, but it was still hibachi style cooking essentially. Our waitress was great! Really sweet and made sure we had what we needed. We ordered sushi first that was good and filling, then our typical hibachi order. I enjoyed and even had leftovers to take home. Only ehh was that the fried rice was sweet and not what I expected. Also, the shrimp still had the tails on them that interrupts your eating pace. read more

I normally purchase tempura but I did ask if they use panko or standard batter they use standard, so I opt to order avocado salad and one of their special rolls which is the Black Jack roll. The avocado salad was fine but the dressing was too sweet for my taste. The Black Jack roll was pretty awesome I always look at the ratio between the meat and rice and it was just perfect there is not too much rice so it was it was perfect combination. The atmosphere was fine and relaxing and the waitresses were very attentive to my questions. They get a yummy in my book! read more

Wow. I'm just going to say, I was genuinely surprised with the quality and taste of this sushi. I'm from Hawaii, where the fish quality is as close as you can get to Japan.

Stop what you're doing, get off the fence, and go to Inaka post haste. This time, my date opted for another sampling of special rolls, all of which were simply delectable. I instead ordered a cooked entrée, chicken teriyaki, and it was absolutely perfect. Cooked to perfection, moist, tender, flavorful, and well presented, As always, the service was peerless and unquestionably superior for Hampton Roads sushi. The decision is complete, put down the phone, get in the car, and scoot your butt to Inaka sushi. You can thank me later! read more

Authentic Japanese foods.! A pleasant restaurant and great customer service. I highly recommend.

Had to do a quick lunch grab!! So where do I go? Inaka! I've been a loyal customer since their first store opened in the late 90's or early 2000's. My go to, is the Christmas Tree roll and Mango Passion roll. For apps ill usually order edamame. They have some of the best service, and never take long to bring your food out. It doesn't matter if it's a bento box or sushi roll. The restaurant itself stays perfect, just quiet and peaceful, no need for yelling or raised voices. Love this place!! read more

Everything is delicious and portions are great! Our server ChiChi was so kind as well! The ambiance and decor is so cute and on brand without looking tacky. Coming back here for sure read more

One of the best sushi places that hidden in a corner spot. Dine-In has great customer service. Take out also has great customer service. Sushi/sashimi is fresh and has great taste, good portions, and wasabi has the kick. The miso soup is pretty good, unlike other miso soup i tried at other places was either too strong or too weak in flavor. The only thing I can suggest from my personal preference is more fried rolls. read more
