I think I'm only adding to the general warmth towards Inamo; yes it's a novelty, and yes the novelty just about wears off somewhere between eating your meal and ordering the bill - but the food is excellent enough to raise the admittedly geeky table interaction above pure tokenism. I found prices to be average (maybe not if you like exploring the more tucked away & traditional East Asian eateries in Soho), but it doesn't break the bank - especially if you take advantage of the lunchtime deals (via Toptable and the like). A really fun experience, and I imagine a great, quick place to take clients and friends alike. Go!

Japanese with an interactive twist 22nd May 2009

1 found this helpful

A modern oriental twist on Japanese style dishes. Great food which probably gets overlooked on account of the table projectors. I had their Cinnamon Chicken dish which was excellent, but perhaps let down by parts being uneatable with chopsticks (I'm not a fan of using hands).

While the interactive tables are fun, they are quite gimmicky and make the ordering process harder and more time consuming then it need be.

Quite pricey when weighed up with the amount of food served.

A little bit more expensive than some of the Asian restaurants in the area, but the food is really excellent, and the interactive tables and ordering system is awesome!

A fun and tasty value proposition 10th April 2009

I came here with a few people. We had an awesome night mucking about with the interactive tables and greatly enjoying the inventive, and very tasty, food and drinks.
We followed up in the bar after dinner and found ourselves drinking with the owners - an enthusiastic pair, eager to take feedback and enrich our experience.

I recommend this place highly and will definitely be going back for more.

How cool is this place!

I ordered a drink, changed my tablecloth and had a look in the kitchen all from the interactive table. Before browsing the food menu which enlarges the image of the dish on your plate.

Whilst waiting for my food we played a quick game of battleships.

The service is polite and quick, the food tasted amazing, served in rustic bowls and no compromise on flavor. I had the thai red curry and rice and a beer £13.95 I believe.

It seems you can pay your individual part of the bill as well as pay as a group which will stop any and argument over who pays what.

I definitely recommend a visit, 5 stars from me.

I'm curious to try Inamo; so far I've heard through friends that only some of the tables have the much hyped interactive ordering system & that the food was disappointing.
- I'll have to go there myself & report back!
