| - ***UPDATE** This place has closed down and is now a new Japanese restaurant.
4 stars!
My coworker and I had driven here for lunch today, and because we had already tried the sushi competitor across the parking lot, we thought we would try Inada this time around! This was definitely a good choice!
The decor was clean and modern. The service was great, the waiters were very friendly and attentive. This restaurant just opened up two months ago and when we went around 1:30 in the afternoon, there may have been only 5-7 tables that were occupied at the time.
Inada serves AYCE for lunch and dinner, at the same prices:
Monday - Thursday
Adults (including sashimi): $22.99
Seniors or No sashimi: $17.95
Friday - Sunday
Adults (including sashimi): $24.99
Seniors or No sashimi: $18.95
I thought it was quite pricey when I first saw the prices for AYCE. When I saw the lunch specials and regular menu, I thought that they were more decent (some of the lunch specials were around $6.99). However, since we hadn't been here before, we thought we would try a bit of everything, so we got the AYCE (no sashimi). With taxes and service charge/gratuity, it came to $22 per person.
The food tasted so much better than most of the Japanese restaurants in Scarborough. There was also a good variety of dishes as well. The rice had a nice rice vinegar flavour, the sushi pieces weren't too big nor too small. The portions seemed like tapas style, which is great, because between two of us, eating an 8-piece dynamite roll would have been way too much. They gave about 4 pieces and for spicy salmon, they gave 3 pieces. The spicy beef udon noodle soup was also delicious and flavourful with a somewhat chewy-textured udon, which is what I like!
They also have dessert, including ice cream, mango yogurt, and mousses. The chocolate mousse was great. The ice cream was perfect and the bowls weren't cold so you knew that they weren't pre-scooped. The strawberry mousse and mango yogurt were good too.
I would definitely come back here and introduce this place to my Scarborough friends!
