Inaka Sushi — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Review Update: 06/26/2024

Google keeps prompting me to update, so here it is! This has become our new go-to spot, and we visit much more frequently now. The staff, from the back of the store to the front, is always amazing, courteous, and kind. Whether I'm getting sashimi, sushi, or one of their many rolls, everything has always been fresh and delicious! They have the best ginger dressing I've ever had at any sushi place! If you're new to sushi, they'll answer any questions and explain anything with patience and kindness. This will continue to be our weekly dinner spot! I tried the Bento box for lunch today and it did not disappoint! I got the one with the Spicy Volcano, and my daughter had the Beef Teriyaki—both were delicious, and the beef was cooked to perfection!! They also have the best green tea in town; I always get the hot green tea!

Still our top spot for sushi! Took the kids tonight, and everything was perfect across the board! I'm posting new pics, and you must try the Mango Passion Roll—it does not disappoint. Our waitress, Yuki, was such a happy and warm person! We will continue to frequent this place.

I absolutely love this place. This is my go-to sushi restaurant.

The atmosphere is inviting and warm, and I love sitting in the tatami area! David is my favorite waiter. We have him almost every time we come. He always has the best suggestions for rolls, and this time his suggestion, the Honey Bunny Roll, was absolutely on point.

I have not had a roll I didn't enjoy here. A few of our favorites are the Spicy Volcano, the Super Duper Roll, and the recently added Honey Bunny Roll!! The authentic green tea just soothes your soul! The miso soup is good, and their ginger dressing for the salad is second to none! End your night with fried green tea ice cream for a perfect finish!

I've been coming here for years and will continue to come, and I hope David is...

Spider roll appearance and cold fried crab was very evident that is was sitting out before bringing to table. 51 minutes for food. Been eating here for a long time and the only place I take my family to eat sushi. Upon walking to our booth our server began to talk down to us about not wearing shoes at our seat. My response was "we come our often and know the routine." We ordered 4 sushi rolls and both servers were upset because we communicated to each of them we needed more time to order. Both of them asked us within five minutes if we were ready to order food. Then their body language showed signs of stress for not ordering in five minutes. After seeing another booth get their shrimp tempura and food I asked "why was our food taking so long?" The response was "it is the kitchen and takes a long time to fry crab." After I stated my disappointment and questioned if it was done on purpose the server blamed the delay on a back up, with only three other tables occupied in the establishment. After identifying a shortfall at a normally outstanding dinning expericene staff did not handling this...

I was invited here for a birthday dinner. When we got here all I could see was metal scaffolding. (The shopping mall is being remodeled). Don’t let that stop you from coming to this wonderful place because when you walk through the doors, it is elegant but simple and it has a peaceful, earthy feeling. They have different types of seating. We took a booth that you have to climb into - it makes you feel like you’re sitting on the floor. You have to take your shoes off to sit in this type of booth. It was fun. I know I ate raw salmon, a mango passion roll, miso soup, octopus, and three other types of rolls but I do not know what they were called. Every one of them was so good and the sauces they put on top were delicious and they all looked so pretty. A few of them had raw seafood, I believe one had eel. We were there with a child and she loved her food too. The meal was topped off with fried red bean ice cream. That was a first for me and it was so good. The service was excellent and friendly. I am looking forward to my next visit and trying some...
