  Hidden gem located in a commercial building that would definitely go unnoticed but found it on Yelp.  Came here recently on a Friday night at around 6:30pm and it was quiet but all the tables had reserved on it.  It's a very small place so be sure to make reservations.
  
  There was a good selection of traditional Japanese food.  We ordered the house-made gyoza, grilled eggplant to start, regular sashimi dinner, eel bomb and the Katsu don.  Although the prices were high for some dishes, overall we thought it was pretty reasonable.  The small appetizers were about $6 and donburi (meat on rice bowls) around $13 are good prices.  And the sashimi was really good quality so I don't mind paying a little more.
  
  We are definitely adding this place to our list of go to places for Japanese food.  Can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

  If you got time to waste, then you can dine here.   My client suggested for us to come here for lunch and we literally waited 30 mins for our food.  
  
  Inaho is a mom and pop shop ran by an older gentleman who is also the sushi chef and an older lady who is the only server.  I understand the delay is due to human resource capacity and the server was very apologetic but waiting half hour for food is simply too long for a lunch meeting.  Aside from the wait, I have no other complaints. The food was good and the price is fair.
  
  I ordered the eel and avo and F14 roll.  The sushi rice on the rolls was a bit loose, not very sticky so it kept falling into pieces as I grab it with my chopsticks but it's not a big deal. The F14 roll was delicious with a deep fried inner layer. Pretty creative and tasty.  I would recommend that.

  I rarely give a 5 star... but there it is.
  The place is small... humble setting.
  Dont go there if you are looking for a rowdy time and lould atmosphere.
  It seems the diners are very respectful and rush service is not what they are there for.
  They are there for the GREAT food experience.
  
  The prices are fair.  
  We ordered Gyoza which were freshly made.  Filling to nice skin texture and gently pan fried.  Ponzo sauce to compliment the great dumplings.  5 poeces per order and left me wanting more.
  Salmon sushi... I have to say... fish to rice portion was spot on.
  If you have read any reviews of mine and places I have been... I know my sushi.  This place nailed it!  Great quality and served perfectly.
  They ran out of Flying fiah roe... , the Salmon roe sushi was good.
  Rolls that we ordered was Eel Bomb, Spider and FutoMaki... All huge and perfect!  
  Complimentary ice cream... choice of Green Tea, Black Sesame and another I cant remember.  I picked Black Sesame and I am hooked!!!
  The tea was great... and feel free to ask for a pot for the table.
  
  I believe that ita ran by a couple... husband behind the sushi counter and wife as server.
  Great combo!
  
  My friend was sick... from earlier and I had to go in asking for some Kleenex and water.
  The lady gave me a bottle of water and said take the whole box of kleenex.
  I took what i needed for kleenex and the bottle water.  Humbled by the genorosity.
  She said to come back for anything else I needed.
  
  That is true service and though this place is a hike from Brampton... I will be back.
  
  So in closing... if you want your money worth on great sushi.... come here.
  Great find!

  A bit of a strange mish mash establishment in my opinion. The restaurant is basically a husband (Japanese) and wife (Chinese) - 2 man show. The sushi and raw dishes were made by the husband and very good and authentic, however the cooked dishes we ordered came with Chinese style sides and tasted a bit bland. The wife is both cook and waitress which makes the service quite slow.
  
  The tempura and sushi pizza items were a bit greasy, and the udon noodles and broth had a more Chinese soy flavour.
  
  There was Chinese tv on in the background and the other tables of customers all seemed to know each other and the owners very well... It was almost like being at someone's home more than a restaurant. Some of the dishes were cracked and the plastic Japanese style ones were chipping off in colour. It was also overpriced for what we got and for the lack of ambience.
  
  Maybe it was better in the past or it was an off night, but Dont think we'll be returning to this one.
  
  2.5 stars.

  Small cozy family run Japanese restaurant.
  
  Udon with fishcake, veggie, sunny side up egg and shrimp tempura $13.95 - tasted very good. The udon noodles had a nice chew to it and the soup tasted great. Only complaint is that it came with one single shrimp tempura.
  
  Salmon teriyaki box $13.50 - comes with salad, miso soup, a spring roll, two shrimp tempura's, veggie tempura, white rice and the salmon. Everything tasted good and very fresh. Only complaint is that I would rather have a bento box which had some sushi combined with it.
  
  Since none of the above had sushi with it we also got the Eel bomb sushi roll for $12.50 - BBQ eel on the inside of the roll and on the outside. Tasted great with a good portion of BBQ eel. No complaints on this one.
  
  I felt the price is a bit on the high side but you do get really good quality.
