The omakase consisted of 25 courses, and from the very beginning, I knew we were in for an excellent meal. Chef Yasu mentioned that he uses a special blend of vinegar for the shari, primarily Yokoi akazu, which is renowned among Michelin-starred chefs. The presentation of the initial courses was understated yet stunning. Each dish was exceptional and mouthwatering, but the standout courses for me were the Hokkaido crab paired with pen shell scallop and vinegared gelee, the cherry blossom-smoked katsuo, iwashi maki with chives and ginger, and the aburi nodoguro before we began the nigiri flight. I was particularly impressed by Chef Yasu's innovative searing technique using a hand torch that...
I arrived at 12:01, worried I might be late since pickup was at noon. Entering through the left door of I-Naba, I walked down a short hallway to the reception desk. I informed the hostess that I was there to pick up my order, and she almost handed me someone else’s meal before double-checking. After I confirmed that I had only ordered one roll (not two), I showed her my reservation. She then escorted me to a small counter room with seating for about six people. A chef was there, who asked me to wait and confirmed that I had ordered the jewelry box. A few minutes later, another staff member came in to finalize my order using an iPad. Once that was done, I waited a little longer as the chef w...
I visited the restaurant on Saturday afternoon at 1 PM, and I was promptly seated with my reservation by friendly waitstaff. They kindly served us hot green tea, which was a lovely touch. I ordered the Kaiseki Lunch special, which included everything I was hoping for: a salad, an appetizer, sashimi, tempura, soba (or udon), some nigiri, and a scoop of ice cream to finish. The salad featured a standard sesame dressing, while the sashimi was decent, with the snapper standing out as particularly good. The appetizer included mozuku, duck, and miso-infused cream cheese. The tempura, featuring vegetables as well as squid and fish, was cooked perfectly—crispy and light on oil. The housemade soba ha...
Inaba, a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant, is an incredible discovery—delicious and surprisingly affordable, especially for a place with such prestigious recognition (as of 2024). Having lived in South Bay my entire life, I can hardly believe I hadn’t visited until now. Tucked away in a modest strip mall, Inaba truly feels like a hidden gem. The food is a remarkable experience that transports you straight to Japan. From the sashimi and tempura to the sushi and soba, every dish is exceptional. To our surprise, we walked in for lunch and were seated immediately without a reservation, which is quite rare for a Michelin-starred venue. We opted for the Kaiseki Lunch, an impressive 8-course me... Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
You should definitely visit this restaurant to experience the chef's skill and the exceptional quality of the ingredients. If you're simply looking to fill up or prefer a place that prioritizes quantity over quality, or if you're only dining to find faults in what you don't understand, then perhaps you should choose another restaurant, as you might not appreciate the excellence on offer here. The chef is incredibly talented, and if you feel compelled to leave a negative review, consider sharing what you expected rather than making baseless comments like the food lacked flavor, prices have risen (a result of the 40% inflation seen across the U.S.), or that the restroom was inconveniently lo...
We ordered two omakase nama chirashi to take away. For a sushi takeout order, these boxes are truly impressive. They are visually stunning and beautifully arranged, and all the seafood tasted incredibly fresh. The rice was well-seasoned, although I found it a bit heavy on the salt and vinegar for my taste. At times, the flavor of the rice overshadowed the delicate sweetness of the seafood. Nevertheless, it was definitely worth it, and the portions were generous enough for two people. I believe they are currently operating temporarily out of I-Naba sushi restaurant, accessible via a side door into a seating area. The ordering and pickup process was smooth and effortless. For a special occasio...
I had another fantastic experience at Inaba Sushi, having been a loyal patron since their Manhattan Beach location. Yasu San consistently impresses with his creativity and the quality of his dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Soba with Uni appetizer and the various seasonal fish, which I found to be perfectly seasoned. I can't wait for my next visit!
This unpretentious little restaurant is located in a strip mall and primarily serves the local crowd, with only a few foreigners. The menu is straightforward, featuring a selection of set meals that include rice bowls, sushi, sashimi, and udon or soba noodles. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
The restaurant serves genuine Japanese cuisine at affordable prices. Their lunch menu includes a combination of soba and don, which is an excellent value.
