| - Previous reviews are right in that service is definitely lacking here. We were seated near the back washroom and I could barely pull my chair out to sit down because there was a pole behind the seat. I asked the waitress if we can move the table out and she pulled it out by probably half an inch and walked off..
Second complaint is lack of parking available. We almost missed our reservation time because street parking was nearly impossible to find.
Third, after 15 minutes of being seated, no water or tea was offered.
Fourth, taking a quick look at the menu, holy moly items are overpriced. The Chirashi is a whopping $25, the price charged at higher end authentic Japanese restaurants downtown on Front Street (Inakaya is Korean run). I'm not even sure if our tea is free.. The wet hand towel given to us was freezing cold.
Food was sooo slow with large time gaps in between dishes.
1. Volcano Roll $18 - Not sure what the hype about this was, besides the little fire show. The beef was very tough to chew on, and the sauce was too salty, you wouldn't need to use soy sauce.
2. Gindara $12 - overpriced for one piece of black cod. It was very good, but still does not justify the price.
3. Sushi Moriawase $26 - again, overpriced with very small portions. The fish is fresh but the variety wasn't impressive.
4. Sashimi Moriawase $35 - three pieces per fish type. The octopus was very tough and dry, same goes with this white fish that had no taste to it. Salmon was fatty and delicious as was the tuna. The bowl of rice that came with this was overcooked and had no texture.
I would not return to Inakaya because the food and service does not justify their steep prices.
