3.5 stars.
I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't the 4 or 5 star place I was expecting.
Haven't had sushi in a while and was craving it so a friend suggested Inatei since it was one of the few places that was not AYCE uptown. Now, in hindsight, we should have stuck with some of the basic items but we couldn't resist ordering from the special fish menu.
I had never had lobster sashimi so we ordered that and then a platter of 3 special fish. Was disappointed with the presentation of the lobster sashimi especially for the price charged, but the texture was good, with a hint of sweetness. Ordering lobster sashimi also means you get a 2nd dish with the claws and head cooked, we opted for the soup which was nice. Lightly favoured by the lobster, had tofu, napa, 2 different mushrooms (YUM!) and some vermicelli.
The platter of 3 special fish, not worth the price as the pieces were cut very thinly. Three slices was comparable to 1 slice of regular sashimi. Taste was ok but again, expecting better quality for the price.
To finish our meal, we had the spicy salmon roll and an unagi roll, both were well made. Wouldn't say there was more salmon or unagi than other places but they were enjoyable.
Overall, I'm glad my friend suggested Inatei since I got to try lobster sashimi as it's not found in a lot of Japanese restaurants here. But my experience was as mentioned 3.5 stars at best - the 0.5 was added because service was good. Would give it another try and order off the regular menu, but maybe when my wallet gets a little heavier!
