The Garden Gate in Camden

Really bad food, and even with 50% off it was more expensive then many high end restaurants with vastly better food and interior. Restaurant atmosphere was rubbish more like a canteen, playing annoying music and very tired decor in need of update.

Food is always good, as is the service..

The table was fun to play with. Good experience with the food, drinks and game. My wife loved the prosecco. Server lady was very helpful with the table explaining and ordering. Everything was so perfect for us.

Bang bang cauliflower was the best, everyone should try this one. All the food we had were great of taste and such a lovely environment. Not to mention, we went for the interactive table which turn out to be fun. We were more focused on playing then eating. Tasty food and great customer service. Thank you inamo and team for the assistance.

Two lovely ladies looked us after very well.They never leave our glass empty. Prosecco was toped us and even asked me if i wanted to change the drinks. Definitely recommend to other and i will be back soon. Games were fun too. How quickly time passed by.

Thank you for the birthday cake and song. Service was best🥰🥰. Music selection was great. Food and drinks came quickly. No fault.

Do you remember what touch screens were like on smartphones in the mid-2000s? Well if you’ve forgotten - these tables will remind you! Cool concept but technology is nowhere near good enough and ordering is very frustrating. The only thing worse is when you get the bill and realise you have to pay for the system upkeep as well! What’s wrong with a normal menu? Food pretty good once you’ve ordered it and comedy cozy and accessible. Drinks overpriced.

Very disappointed with the food. I was given a voucher for the comedy show and dinner. The choices available to me were very limited, only 2 choices of sushi rolls , couple of salmon dishes- one was so salty it was inedible and a few vegetable choices. If you want a bigger variety you have to pay for them. Very expensive drinks. Again very limited. It took ages for someone to come over and explain what to do and how to order. The food didn't taste fresh at all, seemed like it had been sitting around a while. The comedy was great! Enjoyed that very much!

Subash was so lovely and attentive. Will definitely come again. Great food

Staffs were so attentive. Food was good. Can not expect more than this. The whole team was very helpful and surprised my friend with birthday cake following upon the request on the note. We will be back and i will definitely give 5 star to service.

They charge you for using the interactive menus (£1.25 person) which is outrageous in my opinion. This was not disclosed at the beginning otherwise I would have not used them. Food was mediocre and expensive for what it was, cocktails were extremely expensive (£16+, rooftop prices to be eating in a dungeon in a back alley). Waiters also seemed miserable

Wow, I am gonna start from the interactive tables. Great options for to play, good food (quickly came out) and excellent service. Nice customers, Great selections to drinks to choose from.

Interactive table was fun. My boyfriend loves the beer, wine, prosecco. He tried them all and our server make sure we were never out of drinks😃 The guy was very friendly as well. Definitely recommend

Booked offer £29.95 four items per person, table of four including one teen. Drinks extra of course, very expensive! The concept is tired and glitchy, ordering via touch table is frustrating as each person can order items or delete not realising others chose 🙃 sending order failed and had to call waitress who had to take pictures of order then placed. You get charged extra for tech that you have no choice to use should be included anyway....duh!!! For was ok, but not clear if we received all 16 items or if they matched our choices 🤔 they arrived rapidly and now cover the table such that you can't play any games until table cleared. The use of touch table was not explained well and was frustrating enough ordering, now trying to playing on a stained sticky table does not encourage you. Dark and dingy, hard services make noisy atmosphere. Too complicated, too expensive- go elsewhere to eat and play separately.....wouldn't recommend! Read OpenTable reviews too.

Food was awful but sumana gave us a great service !

Sauma was our host, she looked after us very well. We came here as a birthday treat for my 28 year old son.

Tuvimos una experiencia fantástica gracias al excelente servicio de Rosie y Marie. Eran profesionales, amables, y fueron más allá para hacer todo perfecto y agradable. Realmente apreciamos su atención al detalle y toque personal — ¡gracias a ambos por hacer que sea una experiencia tan genial!

Lovely place and Simona was amazingly nice!

The interactive TV is a novelty. Our server Mahamuda is very jolly but we had the impression that they are hurrying us up.

Great service and really good sushi. Sumana was a great help and she was really lovely to us all! We really appreciate it :)

Fun games, sumana out server was very polite, kind and quick, thanks!

The staff was super friendly and attentive—they kept checking in to see if we needed anything, which made the experience even better. The food was really good and super filling. Definitely worth it!

Had a fantastic experience! Khan provided exceptional customer service—very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Highly recommend

Mahamuda was friendly and attentive, the food was good but there could have been more variety/options in the voucher. It’s also a bit naughty that the tech license and service charge is sprung on you at the end. We also noticed that they force you downstairs to the bar (this happens to everyone) while you’re waiting for your table ‘to be ready’ despite there being empty tables, and the drinks are extortionate even for London!!

Cosy atmosphere, loved the plum chicken. Khan especially very attentive and friendly.

Fui al pub a tomar una copa por la noche y a comer. Tuvimos a María como camarera y ella era increíble con un gran servicio! Todo el mundo era muy amable y servicial

My son and I visited this restaurant during his Easter break. The food was brilliant and we really liked the interactive table features which have tons of games on them. The portion sizes of the sushi were a bit small but we ordered enough for it to be a sufficient meal. It's location is in an alleyway and it is hard to find. There wasn't enough lighting so the place was a bit dark.

2nd visit ,loved it ,this time was not quite as good ,we never got a chance to get another cocktail.i asked the waitress when she checked on our food ,who said she would get our server......oh well saved £20 plus pounds ,we spent in the theatre instead

Had a great time at Inamo Covent Garden! The touchscreen tables were such a cool touch – ordering food, playing games, and even changing the table background made the whole experience feel futuristic and fun. Big shoutout to Mahamuda who was an absolute star – attentive, friendly, and made us feel well looked after throughout. Service was quick and efficient, and the food came out fast which kept the energy going. One little thing though – the “unlimited food” deal does feel a bit cheeky when some of the more tempting dishes are locked behind a premium upgrade. Bit of a buzzkill when you realise it’s not really all-you-can-eat unless you pay extra. That aside, still a brilliant night out and would definitely recommend for a fun dining experience!

Food was amazing! Bang bang cauliflower was the highlight of our dinner and service from Sumana was amazing! She was very kind and attentive :))

Sumana was lovely and a great help! It was lovely dinner!

I don’t often post a negative review but this was awful. Got tricked into taking the tasting menu. Which was rubbish. Imagine an expensive, deep fried, set of choices, even worse if you are gluten free and then realising that you have to pay extra for the only decent dishes on the menu and no deserts. The food is not as healthy or tasty as an itsu and obviously just the offcuts of the main meals. Did not have a main meal and the total cost for this uninspired slop, 60 per head including water. Extortionate for such poor food. So the experience. The menu was almost unbearable to use. And as soon as you got the food it was under the plates so really did not work. You could only play games after the meal when all you really wanted to do was leave. The restaurant itself is pretty run down. Gaffer tape holding the floor down, hand wash dispenser broken. Lots of wires all over the place, felt dirty in the toilets and stairs. Really for an expensive Japanese restaurant it was poor. There are better Japanese food places nearby. Had very little interaction with the staff but they were helpful when we did. Best food the Korean chicken wings which were lovely. Everything else better at Yo Sushi or Itsu. And I don’t like either. Taro would be better .

Great food ! Christina was amazing and so helpful

A gimmick at best. Sushi was like what you’d buy at a convenience store but 5 times as expensive. I did all of the work in ordering but our table still got charged £40 service charge. The screens could have been cool but they don’t work well and if you set a phone on them they glitch and they don’t work with a plate or cup touching. Find an actual sushi/Japanese place and don’t buy into the gimmick.

Great food, brilliant service by the whole team - especially Sumana

Really great food and service by Sumana- very attentive and friendly! Loved the interactive nature of dining. Very fun. We drew this on our interactive table!

What a disappointment this place is. Gotta be the worst food experience I've had. All gimicky and not for Asian cuisine fans. Booked a table for 4 via experience days worth £150, but feel I've been ripped off, all the sushi dishes were laden with soggy rice. We were so disappointed, we paid the s/c and IT charge and left after 15 minutes and went elsewhere to eat.

Emh it's ok. The all you can eat is kinda worth it, but in general dishes are small and drinks expensive !!! Service? Almost no service, they seemed rushed (even if it wasn't busy) no patience or willingness to interact with customers. Meh Screens on table are ok, but very bright

Food was lovely and ample selection available on the bottomless brunch. Non-alcoholic drinks options were limited on the bottomless brunch menu, and didn't feel like the value matched up to the alcoholic drink options. Note you also pay a surcharge for use of the technology (electronic menu ordering system from the table).

We went for a drink and we diceded to have diner after we saw all the dishes thatnpeple wasn ordering. The food was so elicious, the staff is very friendly and kind. We will come back.

Sumana was really lovely and helpful!

Perfect lunch l. Sonu was a perfect host. Food amazing. We will be back. Make sure you come and bring your friends.

Great time was had by both of us and we enjoyed it even more this time round. The food was so tasty and there was a good variety to choose from. The service was prompt and friendly and not in your face. The interactive table is so addictive from playing games and puzzles to ordering your food and drink. It makes the time pass by so quickly!!

Extremely disappointed by the new menu – especially as a vegetarian. The removal of the veggie burger and brownie in favor of a small aubergine dish and an out-of-place apple crumble (in spring?) feels like a real step backwards. The aubergine portion wouldn’t fill a child, and with only one other veggie option—a basic salad—the menu now offers virtually nothing substantial for non-meat eaters. I left hungry and genuinely frustrated. This new direction is alienating for vegetarians. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

Awesome food. Good selection on the 4 dish set menu. Good service from Subash.

Sangria was amazing she’s a queen. Also Sunday

Great restaurant and Asif was very helpful and lovely, would reccomended

Great service, very friendly, easy understanding!

Food is very good. Toilet cubicles out of order, not ideal when you have kids.

We had the best time!!!! Service was excellent!! Food was delicious and the drinks kept coming!! Mahamuda was fantastic

Mahmuda was lovely and service was wonderful!

Extremely overpriced, food is nice but nothing special. Got a bill for £140 for three people, only had one soft drink each! Large service charge added, but you order from the table plus a charge for using the interactive table. Toilets were discussing, blocked drains and water everywhere and dirty. I mentioned it to staff but not sure they were bothered. Won’t be returning. Can get better food for a better price elsewhere, overpriced all for the gimmick tables, not at all what we were expecting.

Thank you so much for a lovely time in convent garden - great food, great service. Sumitra Subash was very kind and helpful for us. :) xx

Great food, great service from Aysha and fun atmosphere

Enjoyed the Kimchi rice the most! Aysha for Aysha was a nice waitress too

Good food - great entertainment for the kids on the tables. Great service from Aysha!

Mahamuda was great very attentive

Served by mahamuda, really lovely waitress

Mahamuda was amazing, thank you!

Everything was just okay. Very limited sushi options in the bottomless. Very expensive drink options. We went on a voucher that didn’t include drinks and ordered a beer and a prosecco. They refilled my prosecco several times without us ordering so we thought maybe they were just being nice, as usually if it’s pay by glass you get a fresh full glass each time. When it came for the bill though the extra drinks were on there. I did drink them but, again at no time did we order it, and sometimes they filled up the glass before mine was empty so not your typical service if you’re ordering by the glass. They did remove it once we questioned it but wasn’t very honest practice. At one point our table turned off and we had to move and none of the staff helped move our drinks or plates over. Spicy edamame was the best thing and everything else was mediocre. Don’t think we will be returning, especially based on the full price of what you get.

Great food and service! Ayesha took care of us really well.

Great food, great service and amazing service by our waitress Mahamuda.

Mahamuda was great, very attentive - food and drinks were amazing.

Mahamuda and Sumitra were amazing with the bottomless brunch service! Also amazing food!

The only good thing was Subash. He was Very helpful.

Sonu was very polite and helpful, nice food and fun place.

The staff is very kind and fast food service (Christina was great and very attentive). The food choice was good :) We would probably come back

Christina was an amazing waitress . Attentive and always making sure we were happy

Christina was great, she was very kind and fast to serve us. I would prefer more food variety, there was not many meat choices, great for vegans

Wildly overpriced, wouldn't recommend. Food itself was okay

It was my special birthday afternoon tea with a wonderful delicious difference. We’ll be back. Thank you Sonu.

Amazing service by Sonu! So accommodating and nothing was too much.

Great service and really tasty dishes. Loved the mosaic roll and duck pancakes. But all was good. Sonu was a lovely host and treated us with a surprise! Will come back soon.

1. Offensively expensive; £9/pint, £21/portion of vegan sushi, £17 cocktail etc. Spend a £10’er more and go to the Ledbury. 2. Mandatory c.£5 on bill for “technology license” … presumably denotes the undisclosed charge for use of their touchscreen tables, which don’t work, and which do not in any event entertain. 3. Empty restaurant but they sit new diners right next to you … on the dirty table they haven’t cleaned since the last customer (or the one before them). 4. You know that feeling the day after a really horrible takeaway? Yeah, that. At least Deliveroo tells you how much you’ve spent before you’ve eaten. 5. Plastic plates slammed down by way of service. Nice!

Sonu was our server and was extremely helpful and kind

Sonu was our server and she was lovely! We found this place off TikTok and weren’t expecting the food to be as good as it was. Truly shocked us. Loved the katsu sushi rolls.

We have had an amazing experience at Inamo Covent Garden on a Wednesday lunch time. The best part was the exceptional service from Sonu - her hospitality was impeccable and a big personal thank you to her for making our experience extra special.

Very good service, promptly received and the staff especially Sonu, was really helpful and we strongly recommend Inamo for further clients !

Disaster it was my 25 birthday, friend visiting me from another country I was super happy to bring them here, the welcoming was good but the rest was not we was even not seated that we are told to order because the kitchen close we was a good table as we order for 300 pound, 25 minutes receiving the food the lady told us we can’t have dessert and we need to do fast because they need to close, we felt super rush but we understand. At this moment we still eating and they are putting chair on the table open in big the door, we ask box take away as we don’t have cutlery we ask how to do it the lady told us do it by yourself then we did with our finger. We pay the bill without finishing eating and being rush to go away by the team it was my first and last time that I will come again.

Amazing service and nice taff,food was amazing and the food very nice . We came for a birthday and we did had a nice gesture at the end that our smile on our faces . Thanks again ! We will be back

Celebrated my birthday tonight with my fiancé, the staff were really nice, specially Sonu. She’s been really helpful and kind. Greeted us with a big smile and made everything special.

Thank you for the great food! And thank you Sonu for the treat for my husband birthday and for helping sort out the orders from our table.

Very expensive for what it is (meh food), super loud music… the tables are (not responsive) touch screens, where you can also play games. Later on my receipt they charged us £1.25pp for “interactive tech”/“technology license”.

Horrendously overpriced. The "bottomless" sushi menu consists of very few, mostly vegetarian dishes, with their being surcharges for any classic sushi dishes. At £140 for two people, I would expect to be able to eat whatever sushi I wanted. Would not recommend.

Fantástico El personal era tan encantador y realmente nos hizo bienvenidos. La comida era genial y todos nos fuimos muy contentos. Llegó un domingo ocupado del Día de la Madre. La señora que nos encontró una mesa era una estrella absoluta e hizo todo lo posible para que fuéramos bienvenidos y cómodos. Servicio al cliente perfecto.

Felt Like a Rip-Off We visited Inamo Covent Garden with a £65 voucher that was supposed to cover a meal (three small dishes per person) and entry to a comedy show. However, we later found out that the comedy show was actually free, meaning the voucher wasn’t even necessary. From the start, the experience felt off. Upon arrival, 10 minutes before our reservation, we were directed to a basement bar, despite available space in the main dining area. The basement was exactly what you’d expect: dark, dirty, and cluttered. It felt more like a storage room than a place to relax before a meal. The food itself was massively overpriced, with poor quality and tiny portions. To make matters worse, not all menu items were available, and the staff seemed unsure about what was included with the voucher. The restaurant’s signature interactive screens were greasy and poorly maintained, and at the end of the meal, we were hit with a surprise "Technology License Tax", something never mentioned beforehand. The whole place had a dodgy vibe, to the point that we felt so uncomfortable we skipped the comedy show entirely. Even though we used a voucher, we left feeling completely ripped off. Wouldn’t recommend it at all.

What a disappointment! We arrived ahead of our 1 PM reservation and were informed that we could wait in the bar area downstairs. Upon finding the bar, we were met with a dimly lit space filled with shabby furniture. There was no staff present to assist, and people were busy unpacking boxes. Deciding it was best to leave, we returned closer to our reservation time. When we came back at 12:50, our table was still not ready, and we were once again directed to wait in the bar. After sitting there for 10 minutes, we returned to the reception desk for assistance. Finally, we were led to our table on the upper level, only to find that the area was completely clear, with plenty of available tables. We could have easily been seated earlier. The explanation of how the interactive menu worked was rushed. We had to use the table to place our orders, and then they charged us at the end for this service. What other way is there to order food? The food selection was very limited and rather uninspiring. As someone with Stage 4 cancer who can’t eat much, I ordered a kids' katsu curry, only to be met with a curt response from a waitress who informed me that it was only available for children aged 11 and under. There was no compassion from her, just a rigid adherence to the rules. Once we finished our meal, we were told to leave our table because it had been rebooked, despite the fact that the rest of the restaurant was empty and there were plenty of available tables. There was a service charge included in the bill, which we asked to have removed due to the poor service, basic food, and overall disappointing experience. I will not be returning.

TL;DR 1) There is a separate charge for using the menu. 2) Serving fish sushi in the same plates as vegan sushi. 3) Frustrating touchscreen menu table. 4) Sushi was mostly ok, rest of food was salty and/or oily and inconsistent in quality. Wagamama is better and cheaper Asian fusion for perspective. 5) Subpar service. As we sat at the table, our first thought was how cool is that touchscreen table? But it turned out to be a dumb gimmick because they are poorly calibrated with shoddy user interface that kept glitching, making ordering your items a pain. The creme de la creme is the charge you get for ordering using the touchscreen table, something that is neither mentioned in the fine print on their Wowcher nor by any of the staff during your visit till they slap the bill on you. We don't know if paper menus were available but those were not offered to us. That is incredibly underhanded. We are Chinese so we have a certain standard when it comes to Asian food. I personally do not have high expectations for Asian fusion restaurants because of this, but I have been to better ones than this. Wagamamas is pretty good even. The sushi was mostly ok, but at some point one of the dishes had weird tasting rice. Tasted gone off. Most of the non-sushi dishes were too salty. The udon noodles were incredibly oily. One of our party is vegetarian yet when he ordered vegan sushi along with the rest of our orders of salmon sushi, they served all of the fish and vegan sushi on one platter without telling us. Bearing in mind one of them was vegan salmon so they look quite similar. I tried one of the vegan salmon sushis - it had a hunk of gherkin in it. Weird. Like with the black bean salmon sashimi, they're evidently trying to be creative and fusiony - for us, it doesn't work. I don't expect authentic food at a fusion restaurant, but I do expect good flavour combinations at any type of restaurant. The service was quite fast - perhaps even rushed, considering the quality and poor plating - and one of the servers simply placed our plates on our table saying absolutely nothing. No telling us what it is (again, we had a vegetarian with us), no saying "here you go" - nothing. Some servers were normal and friendly, I'll just say that. This restaurant has a 4.2 rating here as of writing. I don't want to speculate why so I will just say, take what you will from my review and use your best judgment. I probably typed way too much but I guess I was just surprised at how disappointed I am from this experience. It's just a good thing we came here with Wowcher.

It was an absolute disaster! By far the worst sushi I've ever eaten. At the beginning we were ignored by the receptionist. After a good 2 minutes she looked up “surprised” as if she hadn’t noticed us. Absolutely unprofessional! The all-you-can-eat offer is like a really bad joke. For £44 per person you really expect something VERY different. There wasn't even simple maki, generally no selection at all and they skimped on everything, especially quality and freshness. Anyone who likes to eat sushi and is familiar with it knows that beetroot, red onions or pickles simply have no place in sushi. In short: the sushi was absolutely disgusting! The warm dishes were also a complete disaster and inedible. This store is an absolute catfish and really offers NOTHING for the way overpriced. Just give this restaurant a wide berth.

Absolutely hilarious treated a friend with a nice surprise! The games just made the whole thing even funnier! Will definitely go again!

Me and my boyfriend came here hoping for a nice dinner and experience. Unfortunately this place did not meet our expectations, food was okay and took really long to come. The interactive table didn’t work properly for us and had problems sending away our order. Furthermore, we felt completely ignored by staff, no one came to check on us to see if we liked our food either. Servers checked on all the tables around us and ignored us for some reason causing an unpleasant experience, it was also very difficult to get staff’s attention for help. When we tried to, servers looked our way and would walk off. We politely asked a waiter to check on our order which we made 40minutes ago and he never came back to explain why nothing has came. A waitress was also very quick to give us the bill while we were eating even though we didn’t ask for it. I noticed they did not do this to anyone else that was still eating. The only time someone came to us was when they were asking about last orders or handing us the bill. This is the worst service I’ve ever had! I do not recommend this place!

If I could give Inamo zero stars, I would. This was hands down the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in London. First off, they have the audacity to charge customers a “technology license fee” for their interactive tables, which are incredibly outdated, difficult to use, and honestly more of a gimmick than anything useful. You’re essentially paying extra for a frustrating experience. The food arrived quickly, but that didn’t make up for the fact that they sent multiple incorrect dishes to our table. When we did get what we ordered, it was disappointing. The kimchi fried rice was so soggy that liquid pooled at the bottom of the plate—completely inedible. We had to send it back. To make matters worse, I witnessed one of the waiters eating behind a small wooden partition near the kitchen right before bringing food to our table. I don’t know if it was our dish or not, but the fact that he was still chewing as he served us was beyond unprofessional. Customer service was practically nonexistent. The staff avoided eye contact and seemed to intentionally ignore guests. It felt like they just wanted to get through their shift without dealing with customers. And let’s talk about the price—completely unjustified for the poor quality of food and service. You’re better off spending your money literally anywhere else. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the final impression of this place was the overwhelming smell of toilets on the way out. That sums up the entire experience. Do yourself a favor and avoid Inamo at all costs.

Vacationer Mom with 13 yo son. The games were fun, food tasty, service very fast once we got the hang of the menu! Christina was helpful!

Food and entertainment was grand, service and atmosphere were not great, staff very short and tables not clean.

Food was great! Christina was very attentive helpful :)

One of the best restaurants I've ever been too, food was fantastic, price was fair, wine was flowing and the interactive tables were just awsome, I even got a high score, can't wait to go back! Also a big shout out to Sonu who was our waitress, give her a raise, 👏👏👏

Enjoyed a bottomless sushi and tapas for my wife’s birthday. Really nice ambience and the staff were excellent

Sushi was actually ok, but the restaurant feels like a shady bar, can’t imagine I’ll be going back

Disappointing quality of food for the price - avoid coming here for the sushi as the fish doesn’t taste fresh and the ratio of rice to filling is off. However, the vegetable tempura and chicken based items on the menu were served warm and tasted good. There are plenty of better places nearby.

Loved it, very attentive staff, delicious food, I think we did the whole menu, fabulous place
