Does Inatome offer delivery or takeout options?
Yes, Inatome offers takeout and delivery services. While the restaurant believes the best hibachi experience is at their dining table, they offer their popular HibachiBachi bowls and many menu items for takeout in eco-friendly biodegradable containers. Delivery is available through DoorDash, Grubhub, and Seamless. Call (516) 872-0419 during business hours to place a takeout order directly.
How can I book a Wagyu beef experience?
Wagyu beef from Japan is available by special order at Inatome. The legendary beef requires a party of at least 15 people with two weeks advance reservation. The restaurant occasionally hosts special Wagyu Challenge events which are announced via email to their mailing list. Contact the restaurant directly at (516) 872-0419 to inquire about availability and pricing for your group.
Can you accommodate food allergies at the hibachi table?
Inatome takes food allergies very seriously. Japanese cuisine generally does not use peanuts or peanut oils, so peanut allergies are easily accommodated. For shellfish allergies, please mention this to your server and they will arrange to cook your meal before any shellfish is placed on the grill, ensuring you can enjoy your meal without concerns. Always communicate your allergies when making reservations.
What makes Inatome's hibachi tables different from other restaurants?
Inatome features innovative down draft hibachi tables, the first of their kind in Nassau County. Unlike traditional hibachi restaurants where vents pull smoke upward, Inatome's system vents downward, creating a smokeless and odor-free environment. This means your clothes won't smell after dining, and you'll enjoy a cleaner, healthier atmosphere while watching your meal prepared tableside.
Does Inatome use MSG in their food?
At Inatome Japanese Steakhouse, meals are cooked fresh before your eyes without additives. The restaurant believes great ingredients do not require any additives. However, please note that while not listed on labels, soy sauce may contain a very small amount of MSG. If you have specific dietary concerns, please mention them to your server.

Inatome has the best quality of filet mignon of all the Hibachi restaurants around. Chefs are great. Wait staff is very attentive. The ambiance was great. Looking at the outside you can't imagine how great it's on the inside. I will definitely be back.

They had a fantastic happy hour special of $4 Sapporo drafts served in an ice cold mug. Probably the best happy hour deal I've encountered in a while. Platter included two appetizer courses. Lots of variety. Service was very attentive.

My family and I have been coming here for many many years! The food is always great and the staff and owners always make you feel like you are a part of the family! We celebrated our twins 4th Birthday! We have done this every year since they are 1. It is the only place they ask to go!

5 stars for their Omakase Dinner service at the Sushi Bar counter. Chef Nobu was our Sushi Chef for the evening. He was very friendly and hard at work the whole evening prepping each course. It's literally the best value in town for an omakase dinner. Twelve courses at a value price.
