Inaka Sushi

This place is more for the SW Vegas locals.
It is never crowded and the service is always fast.
As for the sushi it’s good, but one could find better. Not bad for a quick bite.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Sushi is always very good. It is one of my biggest pet peeves when sashimi or nigiri isn’t cold & theres is so that’s great. Love their dinner combos, I haven’t done the all you can eat yet. Prices are okay, I really wish they had a happy hour. It would get my husband in there a lot more. but as for a local good quality sushi place this is it if you are in southern highlands or mountains edge

Wow the rice to fish ratio is way off. The fish is cut thin and the rice is way over, I tried 3 rolls and they were all tasteless and the scallops were slimy. I can see why this place has the rating it has. Call me crazy but even their soy sauce tastes watered down. Don’t eat here there are way better places around!

I really enjoy the AYCE. I prefer to go when Larry is there, I believe that’s his name. He is very friendly and takes such pride in his work. He’ll even fix you things that are not on the menu, «new creations» we always say. Very good and the place is always clean which is extra important to me in sushi places.

Ordered some rolls to go and was shocked to see how small they were. My husband and I ordered 5 rolls total and they did not taste very good :/​I was really disappointed since this place is so close to my house! It was also a tad pricey for what was delivered. Won’t be coming back.

Going to keep it simple. The service truly does suck. Money crunching. For an all you can eat that is a bad sign already. One piece of a role was remaining as we were trying to finish it after paying, the server an older man comes back I will charge you a full portion was appalling. With so much sushi places around town this was the first and last time at this restaurant. Based on the negative reviews I don’t see how people continue to go and how they will survive.

So… This place is the closer sushi joint to my house, and I’ve been coming here for the past 6 years. Sometimes I’d be on a sushi spree and have all you can eat weekly. I’ve been on a hiatus after experiencing other sushi joints in my neighborhood. My friends that I’ve taken here have said that it isn’t as good as others, and of course I had to try it out.
After I while I decided to come back here because it was always my fav to come to eat alone, since it isn’t that crowded. I arrived 30 min till close with my mind set on getting a couple happy hour rolls. The hostess, which I think is also the owner/​manager, greets me and asks if I want all you can eat or happy hour. For some reason I hesitated, then she says «probably happy hour because all you can eat will only be for 15 mins». I’m kind of thinking. Why did you ask then, but glad she kept me aware. I ordered two mountain rolls and an order of tempura. My total was the same as all you can eat pricing… What’s happy about this hour??? I can order more rolls at a place without happy hour and be cheaper and better food.
Mountain rolls are my favorite here, I discovered this before I ventured off into sashimi. I know they take time to make because they are baked… Didn’t mind this. When I received the rolls however, they looked rushed. I didn’t take a picture, wish I did, because I felt that I needed to hurry up and leave. Presentation isn’t everything… But it helps. As I was eating them, they don’t taste as good as I remember. Almost seem over cooked, and we’re falling apart.
I get that I came in later than I would normally… But I’ve never had an experience like this here. Maybe it has something to do with the experience I’ve had at other joints in the area since.
All in all… My friends were right. It isn’t good sushi. Guess I won’t be coming here again.

I like this sushi spot quite a lot. It’s convient since it’s close to my house and you never have to wait to be seated either. This place is nothing fancy and the appetizer and roll selection is not very good I will admit but Larry (the sushi chef) does make really good nigiri and that’s why I like this place so much. The garlic tuna, Cajun albacore, seared salmon, are all my favorites, and I could eat it everyday from this place it’s that good.
The gripes I do have is you have to ask for a stamp card. Ten stamps get 1 ayce free. I’ve must of been there ten times already they never said anything about. For some reason I ask and they go oh yeah you want one? Umm YES. she gives a card and only put 1 stamp on it. Like I know you seen me here twice a weak for the last year cmon now. That’s a cheap thing to do I think especially to a good customer. Ask for a stamp card, don’t expect greatness from appet menu or roll selection.. If you like simple tasty nigiri this is your spot

I am shocked that this location has such a low rating. Friends and I go here quite a bit because it is right here in the neighborhood and they have a great happy hour.
As some Unilocalers have said the fish is not the freshest in town, I will agree, it is not flopping out of the ocean onto your plate. However, it is fresh, safe to eat, and good! Plus they have a great menu selection.
The sushi chef is always so polite, we have done AYCE quite a bit in the past and sat at the bar where he guides us through the menu by asking what we like and whipping up his specialties! The servers we have had in the past are soft spoken and not as attentive as the service we get when we sit at the sushi bar, so we try to stick to that! Regardless, we have always had a good time here… experiences are what you make them. While it is a quiet spot in the southwest we recommend it to the community and have not had anything we haven’t enjoyed.

A sushi bar walking distance from my neighborhood,
Nothing too special, but it gets the job done.

It’s not the cleanest place. The fish is very much stale and not fresh at all. They have two people working. One making the food one taking orders. One hour limit for all you can eat. Meaning barely come to your table so they don’t have to take your order and take their sweet as time. I would avoid this place if I were you. This is not a place I recommend at all unless you want to loose five pounds by getting a stomach flue.

Our family enjoys the all you can eat!
Good variety and selection. We especially like their Harry Potter roll. Come hungry, leave full and satisfied!

Yummy food. Nice staff. I live close and will be coming back again. Considering on delivery next time.

Chinese owned sushi bar that is all about cutting costs and not about any sense of pride in their food.
My Chinese girlfriend and I have gone to Inaka three times over the course of five years. The deal is it is in the neighborhood so I REALLY want to like this place!
This place has been consistently over-​priced, low-​quality sushi! The first time we went there my girl-​friend swore that they swapped out eel-​sauce with maple syrup! Today the miso soup was… honestly, I am not sure what it was… The salad tasted like it had some ranch dressing variant. The sashimi lunch special for $ 14.95 was about half the amount of other places — thin, had a weird sauce on the salmon, and one piece tasted partially frozen. The cucumber was cheap? How can cucumber be cheap?
We actually had okay service today, but last couple times the waitress had to pull herself away from the Chinese programs on TV to check on us…
I am praying that Mountain’s Edge grows up with some shopping centers so a real sushi bar be built in our neighborhood.
For now I suggest: 808 Sushi on Durango, Ohjah Japanese Steakhouse Sushi & Hibachi off Blue Diamond, Sawa Sushi in the Kohl’s Shopping Center, or Kazuki Sushi in Southern Highlands. If you would notice, that is EVERY sushi bar in the area except Inaka Sushi.

DELICIOUS !!! I always go with my family But we only go when Larry is there. Now hes there tuesday through saturday. He always remembers his customers and when you walk in the door, you know hes getting started on your sushi. Hes very friendly and always gets our orders PERFECT. He will even make you things that are not on the menu especially if you want to tweak something! Im always absolutely stuffed when I leave.

Here’s an update to my review! The sushi chef commented on my review saying that my boyfriend ordered all you can eat. If you see my original review you will read that we told three different employees NO to all you can eat MULTIPLE TIMES and they still tried to charge us for it.
He also commented on my review saying my boyfriend was drunk. EXCUSE ME?! Neither of us had anything to drink whatsoever until we got there and ordered a beer. We were not drunk.
Maybe the service was awkward cause it was empty and they didn’t know what else to do but stare at us.
This place is just a bit ridiculous. Try it out if you know nothing about sushi and you might like it.

Came here for the all you can eat sushi. I know what good sushi is, and I’ve been to many great places… I kind of wish I read the reviews before coming here. The rolls are as dry as their service. They remind me of the sushi rolls they make at grocery stores. Not worth the price at all. They didn’t even have roles with no rice for people who are to that liking. I only gave 2 stars because they compensated the rice thing with not putting too much in.
I apologize if the workers see this — this should be a sign that maybe to change some things up a bit. The goal is to get people to come to the restaurant. Sure enough, when we went, it was empty.
Overall experience was ³⁄₁₀. Not sure if I would ever come back.

When I first saw the reviews, I was like… ummmm no. I don’t want to die. Nope.
This place is legit right by my house and I had the feeling that maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t as bad a people say. You know, Unilocalers tend to be overly generous, so if this place is rockin’ 2 stars, that doesn’t bode well, but maybe Unilocalers tend to be a little overly critical as well? Who knows.
I have never had AYCE sushi before — that’s not to say I’ve never had sushi, I’ve just always had it one roll at a time. When my friend Gil R. came by to visit on 6÷12÷14, I decided that maybe it was time to try this place out.
Because we went at a certain time, I believe before 7 PM, it was Happy Hour so we got free hot sake with our meal.
There was nothing I tried that I didn’t like. Nothing. And that’s saying something because my friend Gil is a big guy (6’2, 410 lbs) so I got to try a LOT of rolls. I thought everything was great, minus the ice cream. It was just meh.
For $ 52 for two people, I’d say this place is a great deal. I did order uni and it never came out, but Gil warned me that I would hate it and that it’s a good thing that it didn’t come out so we didn’t have to pay for the uneaten portion. He also said the fish wasn’t the freshest compared to other AYCE places, but that it was still good. I thought it was fine.
Will be back to try again.

I tried this place only because it’s so close to me – I am pretty adamant about sticking to my favorite sushi chef in the world — Naka from Naka Sushi in Summerlin
This place made me realize that their are 2 types of sushi chefs – (1)The super serious just-​take-​whatever-​I-​give-​you chef and (2) the fun loving come-​on-​in-​everybody sushi chefs — Unfortunately this place had the first kind of sushi chef — the mean mugg dude that acts like he doesn’t want to be there… the type of dude that doesn’t ever go off the grid and just sticks to the menu
Speaking of the menu, it’s REALLY confusing because they have these LITTLE menus that show pictures and names of the different types of sushi fish and it’s on this stand up V shape card that’s actually meant to be a promo for a certain type of sake or Japanese beer or something — THIS IS NOT THEIR MENU — Their menu actually looks more boring and is just a list of things in black and white… I mistakenly tried to order something I saw on the little promo menu and he told me THAT’S NOT THE MENU IT’S JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT DON’T KNOW WHAT SUSHI LOOKS LIKE — I get the point but from a customer’s POV it’s just confusing that you have something that LOOKS like a menu… albeit a second, smaller menu… but what was disappointing was that this little menu had fish that the restaurant didn’t even have — So, ONCE AGAIN… why bother having this little menu at all???
The sushi chef wasn’t a total a-​hole. He just didn’t have (what I would consider) an upbeat and pleasant attitude — and when customers are asking you for certain types of fish or for you to make a roll a certain way — whether it’s on the menu or not — you should have a better response than «We don’t have it»… or in this dude’s case he pretended to NOT understand what I was asking for.
The salmon and tuna HAND rolls were the best thing here. The saba (mackerel) didn’t have that fishy taste that I was used to and was actually quite bland — The main reason I wanted to come here was because I wanted to try hamachi — but it was nothing to write home about
All-​in-​all there are just way better sushi places to go to in this valley

Unilocal has had Inaka Sushi at about a 2.5 star rating for as long as I can remember and I had no plans of going here but since I had some time to kill and skipped lunch I figured why not. There were some decent items but also some poorly made items.
Let me go from good to bad
The Salmon Kama was perfect.
Seasoned and cooked perfectly I should’ve ordered more of this. Having had Salmon Kama at a lot of the good AYCE sushi spots it was maybe best done here.
The Salmon Skin Handroll was good.
Almost as good as Blue Fin Sushi at least the salmon skin was crispy to my liking but smaller. Again I should’ve ordered more of this.
The Green Mussels were good.
The mussels were separated from the shell, baked up with some mayo sauce, and served in a large hot shell-​like container, it could’ve been a real shell but I don’t know. I’d eat it again, can’t say no to baked mayo things.
The Fried Aged Tofu was good
and simple. It was served hot so let it cool down a bite, I burnt my mouth after the first bite.
The Leo #2 roll wasn’t that great
It was filled with shrimp tempura and jalapeño and covered with eel sauce, spicy mayo, and tempura flakes. Way to much tempura flakes and spicy mayo wasn’t spicy if anything it tasted just like mayo.
The nigiris for most parts were bad.
The tamago was OK, the uni was hard for me to eat, the other 3 in the pic wasn’t so good in quality. The oysters wasn’t that great and shrimp was pretty bad seemed old
After seeing how the freshness and quality of the nigiris were I started ordering non-​sushi items.
Customer service was OK. Spacious place but no one was really there maybe one other person. It’s the only sushi place in the area but I’d drive farther if I was craving sushi.
