“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.“

“This was our first time at this restaurant. Our hibachi experience was awesome! We came on a Monday so it was just us at the table. It was our chef Dika’s first day and he did exceptional! He was very professional and made us feel welcome. Plus the steak he cooked was exactly how I like it! We will definitly be back and will ask for Dika.“

“I like inoko express. We order from them every now and then. Got our sushi rolls home opened up the container and no ginger! Yeah not the end of the world but do like my fresh finger with my rolls. Other than that shortcoming they were perfect“

“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.“
