Ranked by frequency of mention in editorial reviews, the restaurant's own marketing and visitor reviews. These are the dishes the kitchen is best known for — a good starting point for a first visit.
Inamo's sushi section spans classic nigiri and sashimi through to inventive signature rolls that combine Japanese technique with pan-Asian flavours. The Dragon Roll is the headline item; the vegan lineup is broader than most comparable restaurants.

see menuScottish salmon arranged as a rose — a presentation detail Inamo is known for.
see menuStrawberries, salmon and crispy cucumber with mayo. An unexpected flavour combination that earns strong reviews.
see menuInamo marks vegan (ve) and vegetarian (v) dishes throughout its menu. The vegan offering is notably wide for a pan-Asian restaurant — spanning tapas, sushi, sides and a dedicated vegan dessert — making it a reliable choice for mixed groups.
The full menu uses (v) for vegetarian and (ve) for vegan. Many dishes that aren't labelled vegan can be requested without fish sauce or egg-based sauces — the interactive table ordering system makes it easy to flag preferences or ask staff. Cross-contact risk exists in any shared kitchen; those with severe allergies should inform staff directly before ordering.
All categories with item counts.
Every table is a projection touchscreen. Guests browse the live menu, select dishes, see preparation animations and reorder — all without a paper menu or flagging down a server. It is the defining feature that has made Inamo a destination restaurant since 2008.
Between courses — or instead of them — guests can play table games including air hockey, pool, Space Invaders and drawing tools. The Games Rooms have 150-inch wall projections for an immersive group experience, and can be booked exclusively for private events.
Guests can change the ambient art and pattern projected onto their table throughout the meal — from Japanese koi ponds to abstract animation. The feature is popular for dates, birthdays and group dinners where the ambience matters as much as the food.
Because the menu is sharing-plates, the recommended approach is to order a first round, eat, then reorder. The interactive system makes this frictionless. Groups of 2–4 typically order 6–10 tapas and sushi dishes across two or three rounds.
Inamo Covent Garden runs drag nights, comedy dinners, sushi-making masterclasses, cocktail masterclasses and seasonal events through the year. Check the What's On page at inamo-restaurant.com or the restaurant's social channels for the current calendar.
Time Out named Inamo's brunch offering "best brunch in Central London." The restaurant holds a guest rating of 4.3/5 and has featured regularly in London best-restaurant guides since opening. All three venues — Soho, Covent Garden and Camden — use the same interactive table system.
Inamo opened its first site in Soho in 2008 with a clear concept: serve high-quality pan-Asian sharing plates through an interactive table-projection ordering system that would make the technology itself part of the dining experience. The restaurant was the first of its kind in the world when it launched, and the interactive table remains the brand's most distinctive characteristic.
The cuisine draws on Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese traditions — sushi and sashimi sit alongside Korean BBQ ribs, Thai-inflected coconut-lemongrass fish, bao buns and dim-sum-style gyoza. The menu is designed for sharing: most dishes are tapas-sized and guests are encouraged to order across multiple categories. Vegan and vegetarian options are extensive, with clear labelling throughout.
Three London sites now operate: Soho (134-136 Wardour Street W1F 8ZP), Covent Garden (11-14 Hanover Place WC2E 9JP) and Camden (265 Hampstead Road NW1 7QX). All three use the same interactive system and share the core menu. For group bookings, private dining and the Games Rooms, Covent Garden and Soho are the principal venues.
Address: 11-14 Hanover Place, London WC2E 9JP — off Long Acre, a short walk from Covent Garden Tube (Piccadilly line). The entrance is on Hanover Place, parallel to the Piazza.
Hours: Open daily from 12 PM. Specific closing times vary by day — check the current hours at inamo-restaurant.com. The restaurant typically serves until late on Friday and Saturday.
Booking: Online reservations at inamo-restaurant.com. Phone: 020 7484 0500. Email: reservations@inamo-restaurant.com. Walk-ins are accepted subject to availability; Friday and Saturday 7–9 PM require advance booking.

Answers to the questions people most commonly ask before visiting Inamo Covent Garden, covering the menu, the technology, pricing, booking and dietary options.
Inamo Covent Garden serves pan-Asian sharing plates spanning Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese cuisines. The menu is built around Asian tapas (bao buns, gyoza, BBQ ribs, sashimi), a large fresh sushi and sashimi selection, sharing platters for 2–4 people, sides such as kimchi rice and miso soup, and several desserts. Dietary needs are well catered for — vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly flagged throughout.
Inamo is best known for its interactive touch-sensitive table ordering system. Each table surface is a projection display from which diners browse the menu, order dishes and control the ambient table design in real time. The system was pioneered at Inamo and has been a defining feature since the restaurant opened. It also unlocks a suite of 20+ interactive games including air hockey, pool and Space Invaders — particularly popular in the dedicated Games Rooms, which feature 150-inch projections.
Inamo's bottomless brunch is priced at £39.95 per person and includes free-flowing fizz, wine or beer alongside a selection of Asian tapas and sushi dishes.

Yes — Inamo has a strong vegan offering with dedicated vegan and vegetarian dishes clearly marked throughout the menu. Vegan Asian tapas include Flamed Edamame, Katsu Tofu, Bang Bang Cauliflower, Tamarind Mushrooms and Crispy Vegetable Tempura. The vegan sushi lineup includes Sweet Potato Roll, Mango Dragon Roll, Red Dragon Roll and Vegan Salmon Nigiri. The Yasai Selection sharing platter is entirely vegan.

Inamo's menu is designed around sharing plates — most dishes are tapas-sized and intended for the table to share. There is no traditional starter-main-dessert structure. The approach suits groups of two or more who want to try a range of dishes across sushi, bao buns, gyoza, BBQ meats and sides. Larger groups can choose from named sharing selections (Tori Taster, Manseki Medley, Omakase, etc.) that bundle six to eight dishes. Solo diners are welcome; the interactive table experience works for parties of any size.
Inamo Covent Garden accepts reservations online via its website and also takes walk-ins subject to availability. Friday and Saturday evenings between 7 PM and 9 PM are the busiest windows and advance booking is strongly recommended. The Games Rooms — which accommodate groups for an immersive games-and-dining session — require a reservation in advance and have a minimum spend requirement. For the latest availability call 020 7484 0500 or use the online booking tool at inamo-restaurant.com.
Inamo's most-mentioned dishes in reviews and on their marketing include the Dragon Roll (their signature: tempura shrimp, avocado and mayo), Bang Bang Cauliflower (a vegan standout), Crispy Duck with Pancakes, Korean BBQ Ribs, Beef Tataki Roll and the Black Miso Pork Belly. The sharing platters — especially the Omakase Selection and Manseki Medley — are popular for groups wanting a curated cross-section of the menu. The interactive table experience means browsing and reordering is part of the fun throughout the meal.
