Arranged a booking to treat my wife to a meal for her birthday. Had a wonderful and entertaining meal at this branch. My wife was so happy and all our requests were met. Will be back with my friends on next trip. Thank you once again to all the staff at Inamo for that special evening.

We made a booking for seven guests for my brothers birthday meal. We were given a nice warm greeting on arrival and had a nice table too. Our experience was an extremely pleasant one- the staff were attentive but not excessive. We had fresh cutlery placed inbetween our courses and the food arrived without us having to wait for long periods. We opted for the set menu, when some of the dishes arrived I initially thought the portions looked rather small- on reflection they were more than enough for us and as we werent able to finish everything we left with some nice grub to take home. The food here is flavoursome and good and without stereotyping it was nice to visit a Chinese restaurant where the food was not heavily loaded with MSG. We arrived ravenous and left happy and our stomachs more than content. We will definitely be going back and would 100% recommend this place.
