“This place is a staple for Athens! I started coming here freshman year of college and I’ve now been graduated for 1 year and still love it. The portions are great for a very affordable price.
My go-to is the large poke bowl, but the hibachi steak is also great!“

“I’ve been coming to Inoko for years now! I love the chicken teriyaki with fried rice, and vegetables. I’ve seen a decrease in the portion size over the years, and the customer service has gone down dramatically, but I’m hoping it will get back to the way it used to be. They have recently remodeled the interior which is nice.“

“There was a little bit of a wait (10-15 minutes) before they actually took our order but once they got our order it was at our table really quickly. The food was decent quality and absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and courteous.“

“Sam and Stacy were so helpful on my first visit! They cleared up the technical issue of my online order not going through, and even changed one of the dishes to the deal Inoko had going on at the time. I got a little stamp card too!
The onion soup is so good!
I am definitely coming back!“

“A nice buffet-style restaurant. They had several variations of chicken as well as beef, pork, and seafood. It was clean, and they did a very good job of keeping the buffet filled with food. The dinner buffet is priced higher than lunch because they add seafood to the buffet. Also has a sushi bar...“

“We have been twice in the last week and the food was amazing. Definitely one of the best filets I've had at a Japanese restaurant. One dinner meal is enough to feed 2-3 people!“

“Worth the 15 minute drive. The lunch bento was a good size and everything tasted really good. The spicy tuna sushi didn't even need any soy sauce, it just melted in your mouth. The taro boba was good as well.

The fried ice cream was bigger than I thought it would be but there is a cake around it that is really soft. That paired with the crunchy outside is really good.“
