Inamo, Interactive Chinese restaurant in City of Westminster, England
Inamo is a restaurant on Wardour Street in the City of Westminster, London, known for its touch-sensitive table surfaces. Each table uses a projector system that lets diners order food, watch a live feed from the kitchen, and access on-table entertainment without waiting for staff.
Inamo opened in 2008 as the first London restaurant to embed interactive ordering technology directly into its dining tables. The concept attracted wide attention from the food and technology press at the time.
The menu at Inamo draws from Japanese, Thai, Korean, and Chinese cooking, giving diners a wide range of Asian dishes in one sitting. Ordering happens directly through the table surface, which changes the pace and feel of a shared meal.
The restaurant is on Wardour Street in the heart of Soho, within easy walking distance of several Underground stations. Booking ahead is a good idea, particularly for weekend evenings when tables fill up quickly.
Diners can use the table surface to play games while waiting for their food, which is projected directly onto the table. They can also change the look of their table setting by choosing from different projected tablecloth designs.
