Reviews for Inatome Japanese Steak + Sushi in Valley Stream, NY
Inatome was a cool space for a hibachi experience. The entrance steals the show more than anything else. The servers were... attentive and always asked if we needed anything, but forgot a couple of things from our order and we had to ask before theywere brought to our table. The decor is typical Japanese flair, with bamboo trimmings on the walls, and personal tables in thefront, hibachi grill in the back. There is also a sushi table stationed to the right as you enter, which is great for rawlovers. We took a private table, ordered sushi and sashimi, along with other items from the hibachi menu which gets brought toyour table sizzling. The sushi was pretty good, from the California to the shrimp rolls, they were all pretty good. The hibachioptions? Not so much. They came with a burnt smell to it and nothing compared to how good it is when you actually sit at thechef's table to get it done. It was a waste of money to be honest. We ordered the surf and turf, along with the shrimp hibachiand they both disappointed. The overall experience was just okay, and honestly would not go back. Read more
Best sushi I?ve ever had in the US. Ordered sushi deluxe plus anago(sea eel), every piece of nigiri surprised me how well they... processed and served. But one thing that I concerned was that waiter/waitress try to take my miso soup every once in a while. Asa Japanese, I always eat miso soup with main dish, so that was the only thing that I wasn?t satisfied with. But overall it?sbrilliant. Read more
Went for a drive with the wife (she was practicing driving using my car. We lived!!! Lol) who wanted to go to Long Island. She... had a hankering for sushi and hibachi. We searched up random places and discovered this place. Very beautiful little exteriorset up and even better set up inside. Staff were friendly and the food was good. The chefs were entertaining (wish the people wesat with at the table were more lively during this service). Menu was extensive too. Good price. Try the gyoza and the hibachirice with chicken and filet mignon. Read more
Great family atmosphere. Parking available services and food were great . Rent it for a Saturday lunch.
We are able to get reservation on the day at the sushi bar. Excellent food with great service. It's $80 per person. Would come... again! Read more
We were so lucky to get the seats at sushi bar on Friday night so why not try their omakase. The meal started with a refreshing... salad followed by 3 pieces of cooked fish. Then their yummy and fresh sushi. The omakase cost $80 per person and it worth theprice. ???? Read more
Our server was great, very friendly, but the performance was pretty lackluster for a hibachi place. The food was good but not... enough went around the table and we ended up picking off each others plates. Now I came in with a big group, so one half of thegroup was served by a different server and they got way more food, but I was also sitting on the kids side of the group, so thatmay be why the food just didn't get around. Other than that it's nice, but gets pretty loud with other tables screaming, andit's clean. I would recommend coming here at least once. Read more
Honestly, I've been here many times. One time for omakase, one for hibachi, and one for regular sushi rolls. I might have... reviewed this place already but my first experience here was the omakase and I felt like that was my favorite. It was around $80per person pre tax and they gave a total of 15 dishes if I remember correctly. It was my first experience at omakase so the chefwas really nice and told us what to do and how to eat it. It is at a bar around the chef station so it's more intimate. Thesecond time was hibachi and I felt like that was nothing special. The chef did not do any fancy tricks or anything, just cookedthe food that we chose in front of us. The last was the regular sushi. We got the sushi for two. I think this was only a 4 starexperience because the fish didn't feel fresh this time (vs omakase time). We paid about $55 per person because we also got thetuna tartare (which was bland) and I got a drink (which was good! Mai Tai is the one in the picture). Hope this helps! Read more
