Inaho - City of London,Westminster

I gave Inaho a 5/5 review because it was the only reason I stopped by. It is a traditional Japanese restaurant with limited options and higher prices compared to other places. I only return because it is a local spot, but it's not worth the journey. The sushi menu lacks popular options like tuna belly, sea urchin, or red snapper. Locals seem to stick to salmon and tuna sashimi, which was a better choice. However, the sushi platter was disappointing. The rice wasn't seasoned well and was not sticky enough, and the fish quality was not great as seen in the photos.

I passed by this restaurant several times on my way to and from Westbourne Grove, and initially, I didn't realize it was a restaurant. This small hidden gem is tucked away on a side street with a sign out front, making it a bit challenging to spot.

I decided to visit Inaho based on Harden's review, but ultimately found it to be lacking compared to other local restaurants like Ten Ten Tei. While the restaurant has a traditional focus, the options are limited and the prices are higher. The sushi menu was missing popular items like tuna belly, sea urchin, and red snapper, leading many customers to stick with salmon and tuna sashimi. The sushi itself was disappointing, with bland rice that wasn't sticky enough and lackluster fish quality. Overall, Inaho is not worth the journey for subpar sushi.
