Our take: Inori Japanese Dining offers a generally positive experience, particularly for those seeking fresh sashimi and well-presented Japanese cuisine in a quiet setting.
Reviewers consistently praise the freshness of the fish, with some noting it's flown in from Japan twice weekly.
The Chirashi Don stands out as a signature item, frequently highlighted for its generous portions and quality, with one reviewer even stating it's "above and beyond Sushi Tei standards." Set meals are also noted as offering better value compared to individual special fish dishes.
While the ambience is often described as cosy and intimate, service can sometimes be overly attentive, leading to a rushed feeling for some diners.
Minor inconsistencies, such as varying oyster sizes or the temperature of the truffle angel hair, are mentioned but don't detract significantly from the overall positive sentiment.
We think Inori is a strong contender for a relaxed Japanese meal, especially if you're in the mood for a quality Chirashi Don.
Best for a quiet lunch or dinner, but be prepared for potentially eager service.
