Inko Nito - Soho

The lamb was a bit overdone and not super tender. I couldn’t chew some pieces. The salmon sashimi and the kimchi fried rice were delicious but the rice wasn’t actually “fried”. I ordered two of the sakes and they were great as well. I recommend this place if you’re in the area looking for Japanese food.

Really fortunate to be given a table as a walk in on a busy Saturday night and had the tasting menu for 3. The food was amazing and the staff were all very pleasant, good selection of drinks. Only downside was that we ordered 2/3 drinks which were never brought over and had to chase up, which we then found we had been billed for twice - which I'm attributing to how busy they were.

Great place at Soho! Following the brothers Zuma, Roka, this robata restaurant it's pretty cool to have a great dinner and spend a good night with music, food and people! Different products and really nice meat! Starters, cocktails, and really good food in the heart of Soho! Light and style is great!

Visited this restaurant last weekend with my partner for date night, great spot if you're looking for somewhere more casual. The food overall was nice, I'd recommend the prawn and leak dumplings, crab sushi was fresh but a little bland, kimchi rice also lacking flavour and spice. However, my partners main saved the day for him, he loved his pork dish, utter perfection. Cocktails were also a hit, watermelon slushy was delicious. Service was really warm and friendly, pre-warning if you're sitting at the counter top be prepared to have arms learning across you and having to move over a lot, rather annoying but not the end of the world. If I could provide some constructive criticism, perhaps give customers more time on arrival to settle in, look at the menu and enjoy the ambience, we barely sat down longer than 1 minute and was being asked if we was ready to order. Nevertheless, a good experience, but I wouldn't hurry to return.

Honestly completely surpassed my expectations! The staff was so lovely and I don't recall ever having a faster service in London than here. Staff deserve the biggest raise ever 🫶 Food was delicious and even though we were warned about long waiting times we only waited for about 10 minutes. Definitely recommend this place for a date or a birthday. We will visit again soon!!

Such an amazing restaurant, we were really blown away. I booked dinner here to celebrate my cousin’s graduation and I was initially a little worried about the fact that the seats were counted style seats. However, it actually made the restaurant feel really open and not crowded at all, and we still felt like we could have our own private space. The servers are all so amazing and constantly checked up on us to make sure our meal was going well. The food was so delicious and the items coming from the robata grill in particular smelled even more amazing. I had already planned to order the aubergine, and at the restaurant, they were literally flying off the grill because they were that popular. We also got the tofu karaage, mushrooms, kimchi rice, mussels, bone marrow, lamb, and salmon sashimi. I would genuinely recommend all of them. The dishes are quite small, so prepare to order a lot if you are a big group.

If you're looking for a unique Japanese dining experience in the heart of Soho, INKO NITO delivers with its unconventional approach to Japanese cuisine. Upon arrival, I was promptly seated at a single table by the window, perfect for people-watching on a sunny day. Speaking of which, the attentive team at INKO NITO offered me a refreshing ice-cold water to combat the heat, a small touch that went a long way in making me feel comfortable. Now onto the food - I ordered the Crispy Prawn Maki with Wasabi Mayo, the Steamed Prawn and Leek Dumplings with Ginger Ponzu, and the Aubergine with Garlic Lemon Miso and Spring Onions. The stand-out dish for me was definitely the prawn maki - perfectly crunchy on the outside with a satisfyingly juicy prawn filling, and a zingy punch from the wasabi mayo. The dumplings were also delicate and delicious, with a tangy kick from the ginger ponzu. However, the aubergine dish fell a bit short for me. While the idea of lemon miso and spring onions sounded promising, the execution was underwhelming and lacked the depth of flavour I was anticipating. Overall, the atmosphere at INKO NITO was buzzing and energetic, with a trendy industrial-chic aesthetic. The team were friendly and attentive, making for a seamless dining experience. While the aubergine dish wasn't quite up to scratch, the standout dishes more than made up for it. If you're in Soho and in the mood for some creative Japanese cuisine, INKO NITO definitely delivers the goods.
