What a fun find in Virginia Beach! My friend who has a shellfish and ground nut allergy is able to eat here, which is always a plus! She just asked about certain items and told the staff about her allergies and the restaurant accommodated. I love sushi and ordered the Sushi Matsu. It's a little pricey at $31.95 but has 8 nigri. I just realized that the menu says 9, so the chef forgot one (photo is just 8) plus a tuna roll. Friend got the salmon teriyaki and ate every bite. The food was excellent quality and certainly will come again for the fun seating (low booth with a space for feet below), quick service, yummy food and accommodated allergy requests!
We came in for lunch on a rainy Saturday, not a lot of people in the restaurant at the time and we were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was extremely friendly and very quick to get us set up with drinks and appetizers. Everything was extremely fresh and tasted phenomenal. For a smaller restaurant it felt very welcoming and cozy. Will definitely be making this place a frequent spot. For food we ordered the clear soup, cappacio, yellowtail roll, Philly roll, and scallop nigiri and everything tasted amazing!
**Review Update: 06/26/2024** This has become our new go-to spot, and we visit much more frequently now. The staff, from the back of the store to the front, is always amazing, courteous, and kind. Whether I'm getting sashimi, sushi, or one of their many rolls, everything has always been fresh and delicious! They have the best ginger dressing I've ever had at any sushi place! If you're new to sushi, they'll answer any questions and explain anything with patience and kindness. This will continue to be our weekly dinner spot! I tried the Bento box for lunch today and it did not disappoint! I got the one with the Spicy Volcano, and my daughter had the Beef Teriyaki--both were delicious, and the beef was cooked to perfection!! They also have the best green tea in town; I always get the hot green tea!
This was my first time at this establishment , my grandson goes there a lot with his friend and his family. His friend actually works there , for the time we entered it was very welcoming, warming and attentive. The food was amazing we had several appetizers , sushi and entree I must say everything was 10/10
3.5 Stars - Rounding down This is a decent spot for sushi and other Japanese cuisine. It is right across from TCC VA Beach, where I take my classes. The interior is very cute and the service was friendly and patient. My friend took me here, as it is his favorite spot for sushi. He is a regular here. The booth we were sat in was unique to me. I haven't dined at a sushi restaurant with traditional Japanese-style seating. It was very cool! The server knew my friend very well and his exact order. They don't serve coffee, but they always kindly put on a pot for him that is usually for themselves! My friend gets the Philly Roll and the Volcano Roll. He is very fond of the food here, like I mentioned. He begged me to come try the food here for a long while. I went with an order of Shrimp Tempura and a Twin Tower roll. Unfortunately, I wasn't dazzled by the shrimp. It did not have much flavor. It was also really greasy. The Twin Tower roll has tempura shrimp in it as well. With the rice and crab salad, it became just decent. The shrimp by itself, however, was pretty disappointing. On a happier note, my sashimi was really fresh and melted in my mouth. I loveee salmon sashimi, and it was a hit for me. The yellowtail was new for me, and it was just as good as the salmon. These cuts of fish were savory and delicious. Next time, I'll try something else... I was sad because I am usually a big fan of tempura shrimp. But maybe I need to mix things up, or stick with my sashimi. I'm bound to come here again as my friend and I usually get out of class at the same time and we pick a spot for lunch.
Yuck. Grey tuna, overpriced, got the lunch special, the fish smelled old. Took one bite and spit it out. Will not return.
This place is easy to miss, we walked right passed it. Went in for lunch on Saturday and we were the only customers. Not sure if they had to go orders but they didn't seem busy. The waiter was nice, and attentive. Food was ok.
This has become one of my go-to spots for sushi especially since it is near my house. I feel like they have definitely improved since my last review in 2020. The service is great and fast. It's clean inside. I like that they still have the Japanese traditional like booths where you can sit cross-legs. I even DoorDash a meal and the quality of food was still consistently good. The sushi tastes fresh and they have some of their own unique sushi rolls. If you ever thought this place was bad, come try again. I have been here several times these last few months and have been very impressed.
Delicious food. I enjoyed my sushi and tempura udon soup. Everything was fresh and yummy. The attention and customer service was also outstanding. Excellent experience. I recommend this sushi restaurant.
Delicious, enjoyed the lunch special. Also ordered some sashimi which is no pictured. Enjoyed the environment and the staff was very nice.
I came here for dinner with some girlfriends. The service was great and I had a such a good time hanging with the girls. I just have my favorite spots and this one just didn't compare to it. The rice in proportion to the fish was a bit more than I prefer. The quality of the fish wasn't what I would say "sushi grade fish". We enjoyed our time but I'd only return if invited by a friend and I wouldn't choose this place as my top sushi preference.
Actually 3.5 stars for me. When my niece first started eating sushi, this was the place we always went to, and this is still one of her favorites. We came during a weekday for lunch. It's been awhile since I've been here, but the place wasn't as busy as I remembered. It could be because of the construction they have going on in the shopping center, looks like they're redoing the signs there. They have a great lunch menu here, and the prices are decent. I got the pick 2, with the shrimp tempura roll and the spicy tuna roll. My niece got her usual, the volcano roll (not spicy). The food came out quickly and my niece enjoyed every bite of hers and even took some of my shrimp tempura rolls. My meal wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me.

Inaka Sushi has been a tradition for me since high school (let's not age myself), and it truly never disappoints. Every time I'm back in Virginia Beach, it's a must-visit. From lunch dates with my partner to special outings with my grandma, this restaurant holds so many great memories for me. Tucked into a shopping center that has a gym and music studio, it's easy to miss, but absolutely worth seeking out. The sushi is consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and always delicious. Whether you're ordering classic rolls or one of the chef's specialties, everything comes out spot on. I love the ambiance. It's dimly lit, cozy, with cat decor. They have traditional Japanese-style seating tucked in the back that makes the dining experience feel unique and fun. The lunch specials are especially worth it, bento boxes and roll specials, generous portions, high quality, and an incredible value. It's easily one of the best lunch deals around. The service is always warm and welcoming, and walking through the doors brings a sense of nostalgia every time. It's rare for a place to stay this consistent over the years, but Inaka absolutely has. I always look forward to coming back. read more
My dad was raving about this place so we decided to give it a try as well. It's not a huge place, but it's not super small either. We were instantly greeted by the sushi chef and the waitress, Joann. We sat ourselves and were quickly brought menus and got our drink orders taken. I couldn't decide if I wanted the agedashi tofu, the tempura, or the sweet potato roll so I got the sweet potato roll and the vegetarian bento box. The vegetarian bento box was amazing btw and it was also humongous! It came with two pieces of agedashi tofu so I assumed they would be small, but they were huge. It also came with veggie tempura which is always amazing. It also came with a cucumber roll and seaweed salad. AND it came with a house salad and miso soup. SO MUCH FOOD. So good though too. My dad ordered cucumber salad and the sauce on that was delicious. He also got a roll. My husband got two rolls. We got an order of shrimp tempura to go for my mom. Everything was outstanding and Joann was so friendly! We will definitely be back many more times! read more
What an awesome hidden gem! Tatami table, sushi bar. Yum! The lady who works there is Japanese so yay! The sushi was great! Good ratio of rice to fish. They have non- fish yummies like katsu. Quiet, nice staff, fresh food, CLEAN! this place is worth driving to! read more

Hibachi portion was extremely small compared to what I'm used to. Rice looked and tasted like it came out of a rice cooker... not fried. Sauce container opened and spilled all over food. Sushi was so so. Not photo worthy. Won't order from here again. read more

Hubby and I tried Inaka for the first time last week. Very friendly and attentive customer service! The food was amazing!! The tea was good as well. Both the dumplings and sushi were made to order perfectly. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. For seating, there are small tables and it looked like about 3 booths. When you sit in a booth, is very Japanese style with you taking your shoes off and sitting at the table. There is square type hole where your feet go. So if that's not your thing just ask for a table. On the way out the owner thanked us as well. If your looking for a good sushi place, we recommend giving Inaka a try! read more

It's been a long time since I've been here and it looks like it hasn't changed too much in 8yrs. My friend and I came in around 6:30pm and it wasn't busy at all. They had a special last night that was buy 1 roll , get 1 half off so I took advantage of that and got a christmass tree roll and a classic shrimp tempura roll. My friend ordered a gyoza appetizer and a chicken katsu dinner bento box. She shared with me the gyoza, shrimp tempura, and the California roll that came with the bento box. The gyoza (fried or steamed pot sticker) tasted like most, nothing that really stood out about it but it was definitely yummy. My Christmas tree roll however was outstanding. It's a spicy tuna roll on the bottom, spicy tuna tataki layered in the middle and seaweed salad on top with a bit of roe to make the shape of a Christmas tree. I loved the presentation for this one! The shrimp tempura tasted good too, it's always a 'go to' roll for me and there's never really anything different about it. However, the server was constantly checking up on us...not trying to sound mean or anything but it was like every 2 min... I guess it was because we were the only ones there for a while. Thankfully more people started coming in so that there was more time in between before he checked in on us again. Y'all should check this place out though! They have a lot to offer. read more

Lunch special was two rolls with a bowl of miso soup for $10. Decent sushi and a reasonable deal. It was A-OK. I had the tiger eye and the Boston roll. My socks weren't knocked off, but I think I could say that I'd return to this restaurant for dinner. read more

Great sushi and the staff is so much fun. The best seat is at the sushi bar. We have always had a great meal and a good time read more
I've always enjoyed coming to Inaka. I've never had a server that was rude or unfriendly no matter how far in between my visits are with them. They know how to hire waitresses, that's for sure. They're always pretty quick and efficient with their rolls and kitchen dishes. Everything always tastes fresh and delicious. Presentation is always a plus as well. Like many sushi places, prices are comparable so no complaints there. They do open for lunch and then again at 4 for dinner, FYI. If you want the booth, you just remove your shoes before sticking your legs under the table for the tatami mats. They have special rolls pictured in frames but you can't really see them so I suggest you ask them what they are and they will bring you a paper menu listing what they are. (Right now, they have a BOGO half off regular rolls.) read more

The service was great! Very energetic server who knew the menu very well. And just so sweet and polite. I have eaten here many times before. So, I knew the food was going to be fresh and tasty. Tonight was a little meh though. It started off with the fried shrimp tempura being cooked in old oil and you could taste it. It wasn't light and flakey like Pablo breading, but more dense and oily tasting. The soup and salad were good. I loved the dressing for the salad. It hit my taste buds like a brick wall exploding. That ginger dressing is the best I've tasted in Va Bch. The regular sushi came and I was already full. I couldn't eat much. But I will say the portions were a decent size and they give you more pieces than what was listed on the menu. The tuna wasn't that fresh (my ex is a seafood distributor so I got a lesson or two in recognizing quality ) but the salmon tasted good and it hit the bullseye in my belly. I would recommend, but maybe ask if the oil has been changed out or filtered recently before getting anything fried off the menu. All in all, a good experience. read more

It's been awhile since last visit. It was still very good as I remember. We got a warm greetings from sushi chefs as you walk in and server rushed to the front to greet us. We went to celebrate my birthday and we all had dinner bix specials. Chicken katsu, pork katsu, chicken teriyaki and sashimi boxes. They all comes with miso soup, salad, California rolls, like 6 different tempuras, gyozas, and banana tempura. Plenty of food and some leftover for lunch tomorrow. Server was very friendly amd attentive however she didn't know what bento was lol. Food is very delicous but you get the pretty much the same thing for the lunch bento also if you can make it during those hours. That will definitely save you few bucks. read more
