Comment: The food was good and not as oily at the grill than expected. The chef was quick but accurate. The beer was great. The sauces were nice. The other beverages were nice. Nice place for groups and parties as there were a few. The prices are reasonable. The location is off sunrise but the environment and design was great.

Comment: We came last night and had a fantastic time! We were a group of 4 but still got our own hibachi table. The chef was amazing and made out night with his humor and skills. Everyome from the owner who took our reservation, to the waiter and service staff, were extremely nice, attentive, and welcoming. The atmosphere both inside and out was wonderful as well. Well see you again soon!

Comment: This was our 1st time here, as many people had recommended it to me. I brought my family from France here on a Thursday night. They had never been to Hibachi, and we were excited for them to see a show and eat good food. The food was amazing, but we were disappointed that there was no show! The chef did toss broccoli so everyone could catch it, but that was it. No onion Volcano, no flipping of the tools, no saki, nothing.

Comment: The decor was gorgeous! Wait staff were very friendly. There was a sushi bar, hibachi grills, regular dining tables, and a regular bar.The food was flavorful for the most part. My partner and I visited around 7pm on a Saturday and it was fairly busy, but the wait wasn’t long. We had the shumai, which was absolutely delicious, and the fire fighter roll which was also delicious. We also had the shrimp and vegetable tempura appetizer, which was more vegetable than shrimp. I personally wouldn’t order again.We had the nigori sake and miso sake. We loved them both, they were smooth and paired well with our meals. The complimentary soup (miso or onion) and salad were also good.For entrees, we had the chicken katsu and the BBQ Skirt steak hibachi. The katsu chicken was delicious. It came with a barbecue-like sauce and sesame seeds, which elevated the breaded chicken. However, I could’ve gone without the dish’s sides (potato salad and mixed salad).The skirt steak hibachi was good. The barbecue sauce on the steak was delicious. The sautéed veggies (broccoli, zucchini, onion, grape tomatoes, carrots and potatoes) were flavorful.We ordered the fried rice for both entrees, and it was a little bland, and not the expected hibachi fried rice. Mixing in soy sauce helped with the flavor.Overall, it was great. We’d visit again.

Comment: Wow! The manager here is incredibly kind. I live down the street, and I usually order their tofu/vegetable bachi bowl with extra steak on the side.I received an order the other day, and I thought something was wrong. It appears I received a side of butter in the order (this was new to me, and them) - and I thought something was just not right. After calling back, not only did the owner make things right, he personally drove to my house and delivered a new meal.Of course, after admitting my mistake, he was still apologetic for the confusion and he was thankful that I was a repeat customer, and insisted I enjoy the meal. Folks, this is the type of customer service other establishments need to adopt! This is the type of experience that will keep me as a customer as long as I live in Long Island. Thank you, Inatome! The food is great, and the management is the cherry on top!

Comment: Honestly, Ive been here many times. One time for omakase, one for hibachi, and one for regular sushi rolls. I might have reviewed this place already but my first experience here was the omakase and I felt like that was my favorite. It was around $80 per person pre tax and they gave a total of 15 dishes if I remember correctly. It was my first experience at omakase so the chef was really nice and told us what to do and how to eat it. It is at a bar around the chef station so its more intimate. The second time was hibachi and I felt like that was nothing special. The chef did not do any fancy tricks or anything, just cooked the food that we chose in front of us. The last was the regular sushi. We got the sushi for two. I think this was only a 4 star experience because the fish didnt feel fresh this time (vs omakase time). We paid about $55 per person because we also got the tuna tartare (which was bland) and I got a drink (which was good! Mai Tai is the one in the picture). Hope this helps!

Comment: Best sushi I’ve ever had in the US. Ordered sushi deluxe plus anago(sea eel), every piece of nigiri surprised me how well they processed and served.But one thing that I concerned was that waiter/waitress try to take my miso soup every once in a while. As a Japanese, I always eat miso soup with main dish, so that was the only thing that I wasn’t satisfied with. But overall it’s brilliant.

Comment: Went for a drive with the wife (she was practicing driving using my car. We lived!!! Lol) who wanted to go to Long Island. She had a hankering for sushi and hibachi. We searched up random places and discovered this place. Very beautiful little exterior set up and even better set up inside. Staff were friendly and the food was good. The chefs were entertaining (wish the people we sat with at the table were more lively during this service). Menu was extensive too. Good price. Try the gyoza and the hibachi rice with chicken and filet mignon.

Comment: Love coming here for the ume hibachi. Have been coming here for years and kids enjoy the food and watching the food being made in front of them. When we arrived we were waiting to check in for a few minutes, which I dont mind. But there was a gentle man standing there answering phones but in between calls he never acknowledged us and you can clearly see he was avoiding eye contact. I get it might not be his job to check people in but he could at least say something like well be with you soon.

Comment: A friend wanted some sushi in the Valley Stream area and never been to Inatome Hibachi and Sushi Place. It is off the path and you can easily miss it if you dont know where to find the place. It is low key near an intersection and dimly lit. The outside resembles a little like a Japanese garden to a lesser degree. The also setup small chairs and tables in case you want outdoor seating. Once you enter, you go up a small stairs that hooks left and you can see how large this establishment is. They have quite a few Hibachi tables and the place was at capacity for large families. They also supply these large rigid plastic barriers to separate the groups from each other. They also have regular tables If you only want sushi and not Hibachi. They also have a small sushi bar were you can watch them prepare sushi and dine there as well.We sat in the rear right of the restaurant where these were the only seats available. We were 2 and 2 who sat across on the far side of the Hibachi table. Plenty of social distancing there. The only table open was then filled with a group of 6 friends. The host who greeted us prior to seating had asked if we had made reservations. I had looked online but did not see a reservation area. He said people call to make them. We tried to joke with the owner whonseems like a quiet person, bit it seemed he did not like my banter and looked mad and walked away. He was nice enough to say thank you, goodnight and stay safe when we finished dining though. I did not take it wrong from the beginning anyway.There was a nice waitress, Hispanic who came to take our order. She was very pleasant. Ordered a Nigori Sake and a lychee martini. The sake was not sweet but perfect for me. The lychee martini was well made. You can tell by the organization of the place, the owner pays attention to details.We ordered a couple of yellowtail sashimi which were cut perfectly! Also they had Uni (Sea Urchin) from both California and Japan. Again, you see the detail that goes into the prep when they arrived. The Cali Uni was leaning towards the browner side. You can see in the pictures I sent up. The Cali Uni was also slightly more firmer the the Japanese Uni. The Japanese Uni was like butter!! Omg, it was so darn good and flavorful. My friend tried Uni for the 1st time and really enjoyed them. We decided to get mixed Hibachi dinners. I went all seafood, Shrimo, lobster and scallops while my friend went chicken and scallops. We were sharing anyway. They 1st came with the myabi soup, the clear Japanese onion soup. Afterwards, the salad with the ginger dressing. After we finished our appetizers and starters, the Hibachi chef arrived. He was a quiet friendly person. I was slightly disappointed he did not make the traditional onion volcano bit it was ok. He maybe in learning mode. He was fine handling the food and slicing. He did a nice job overall and was made us laugh a few times. He also tried to flip smallnpieces of broccoli to everyone sitting and we gave him a few bucks for his performance. He did do a small drum type play after which was cute. Again, the quality is amazing. The staff is really attentive and nice. Youbwill always have a great meal and time ar Inatome. Make sure to make a reservation if you are considering dining in the evening.

All of the food I’ve tried is delicious and each visit is consistently a pleasure! The staff is friendly and extremely pleasant. I have recently started to order takeout as well and have not been disappointed. Highly recommend.

Comment: Thank heavens they are open for dining in again. Really missed the hibachi style cooking. Cooks and wait staff wear masks and all guests must wear masks when not eating. Table seating is reduced and movable glass partitions are placed between groups sharing the large hibachi tables. They also added a few tables for outdoor dining, if you prefer. Glad they’re back. Come join us!

Comment: The food was really, REALLY good. Im not a huge fan of eating onions and veggies, but the way they do it, YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! Hibachi style. I love it. Even the atmosphere was awesome. Its a little pricy but its worth it: the quality of the taste and the quantity (its a lot). Ill be back! Oh, I had the shrimp and chicken combination.

Comment: Keijis place is where you want to be for great sushi. Ample parking by the Wonderama lot off of Rockaway Avenue. Street parking free after 6pm. Had my standard miso soup to start. Felt I needed another appetizer so I went for the Beef Tataki. Was not disappointed. My staple order of 2 pieces sushi: masago, ikura, ebi, unagi, saba. And my salmon skin handroll to end the meal. What I found interesting about my meal was the unagi. Most places just drench the damned thing in brown sauce. Not here. They marry the sauce into the eel. It is baked right in. Also, the fact that the rice stays under the eel meat and doesnt fall apart without the seaweed wraparound is a feat unto itself. I notice dumb little things like this. Pretty impressive by an aesthetic standpoint, seriously. Will try the specialty rolls when I come around again.

Comment: They have a decent drink selection and the staff is nice. They even have that cool Japanese soda that comes in the glass bottle if you dont drink. They also have tofu and dont mind giving you a larger salad since none of their soups are vegan. they also dont mind not using butter. If youre not into Hibachi there Sushi also

Comment: Inatome has been a staple in Valley Stream ever since I moved into town. Food, though pricey, is worth every penny. Wait times can vary, however Ive never had any issues waiting for more than a few minutes. Service is great and professional, and the Hibachi chefs are both friendly and obviously talented.

Comment: Such a nice, classier than expected hibachi place located unexpectedly in a residential area. Food was great as was the service. The broccoli toss was perfect, right in my mouth didnt have to move, and the chef was 7/8 on the broccoli tosses, the one drop coming because my mom closed her mouth before the broccoli hit her in the lips.The salmon was excellent and not remotely dry like most hibachi places tend to be. Steak was good but tasted very Asian, so if youre not into that youre probably in the wrong place. And the chicken was also nice and moist albeit a tad dry. Vegetables were great as well with probably one of the tastiest tomatoes Ive had (secret - its the butter)

Comment: Came here to eat for my 8 year anniversary on Friday and it was great. I called and spoke to a very sweet and professional gentlemen. I asked for a private table but they only did groups of people at the tables where they cook in front of you which was fine. When we got there they put us alone anyway which was great! Thank you for that! I loved everything about it, from the soup to the fried ice cream! Yummy! Our cook was fun and sweet and my daughter even enjoyed it being her first experience and having broccoli thrown at her hahaha. We are definitely coming back.

If you want to sit in front of Sushi Bar, you will need a reservation, otherwise you can order Sushi Sashimi at the Table. Chef always introduce new type sake to try and is always a treat to have omakase there. Reasonable price.

You get so much food for the price and the quality is superb. I usually get the filet mignon, and it was the best hibachi steak Ive ever eaten. The service was typical for hibachi but the decor was very Japanese oriented.

Comment: Outside was done beautifully. The noise level inside was way too loud for a nice, relaxing dinner. Food was very good as I love hibachi, but hate the seating arrangements. I like my privacy. They could not serve me if I didnt sit around the large community tables with.strangers. However, they tried to accomodate us by seating us at an empty table. Only 1 other elderly couple sat at the.complete opposite side of the table. We had a bit of privacy after all. I will definitely order take out or delivery next time since i like quiet dinners and delicious food.

Comment: The pros:Food, price, and the atmosphereThe cons:The speed of service (the place wasnt really even that busy and it took a very long time to be served, etc).I enjoyed the restaurant and the food was actually quite good. The miso soup was delectable but the waitress wasnt sure what kind of fish stock there was in the mix (I have shellfish allergies so thats why I inquired). The sushi we had included an assortment of items and I also packed on avocado rolls. Id go back.

We brought a friend with a shellfish allergy and they accommodated without question and seated us at our own habachi table (cooked our shrimp appetizers last). She had never been to one before due to the fear over the cooking style and her allergy. She is now a fan. There is a reason they have been open for so long.

Comment: Even better since rebuilding after the fire. I dont remember the decor being as nice as it is now - it feels like a much classier place than youd expect in Valley Stream (Im from the neighborhood). Food is as good as anything youd get in the city - they even have fresh sushi imported direct from Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo now, at least on some nights. This is not Benihana - this is real Japanese hibachi, and a Japanese-owned restaurant. Dont expect the chefs to do tricks; theyre there to cook. Still a fun way to eat. Worth going out of the way for, and if you live nearby, why *wouldnt* you eat here regularly? Cant think of a better restaurant in town.

Comment: We made last minute reservations for the sushi bar. With such an accommodative atmosphere and great chefs behind the sushi bar. It is a pretty authentic experience in this area of Long Island. Granted, I am not Japanese and have not spent a considerable amount of time in Japan. I would say this is a good example of a Japanese meal.
