“Lunching at Inakaya, by guest reviewer Kathleen Squires”

Occasion:	Cuisine:	Area:	Cost:	Rating:
Lunch/Takeout	Asian	Midtown	Moderate	Great

d miso soup. It amounted to a generously satisfying, and varied, lunch; one I’d be happy to repeat. 

I still recommend a visit at night, too, for the festive atmosphere and delicacies like the fat, juicy kinki fish ($65); golden brown slivers of sweet sting ray fin ($9); a small box of double-steamed rice with gingko nuts and fresh bamboo shoots ($15) and robotayaki favorites like chicken thighs ($10) and king crab legs ($27). But the bento is the way to go for lunch—it’s fast, efficient and delicious. You’ll get back to work—or to the matinee—with plenty of time to spare. My only question: how now to incorporate the bento into my own daily life? Maybe I had the right idea in the 80s after all. A black and red lacquer briefcase might look sweet.

Inakaya is located at 231 W. 40th St., 212-354-2195, www.inakayany.com
