Tech-focused restaurant Inamo in London's Soho has had to say good bye to its head chef, Kitchen Rat has learnt.
Anthony Sousa Tam, who previously worked at Nobu and Hakkasan, has left the pan-Asian restaurant because "things didn't work out" between him and proprietors Danny Potter and Noel Hunwick.
While it is unclear where he is off to next, he's definitely one to watch. After all when he was head chef at Atami the Evening Standard's Fay Maschler described his menu as "better than that at Nobu and Zuma".
Inamo is currently in discussions with a possible replacement, Kitchen Rat is told. At the core of the Inamo concept is an interactive ordering system that allows diners to order their meal from an illustrated menu projected onto a touch sensitive screen on their table.

I happen to personally know the new head chef of Inamo restaurant, having recruited him for Danny and Noel personally.
Anthony's successor will be a much more successful chef at this restaurant not only for his superior cooking skills but his attitude to procedural rigour.
Expect great things from Inamo in the new year with a larger menu, more diversity and a much more accessible wine list.

I personally know the previous head chef whos skills are far higher than those required at Inamo. Inamo is a fun place but i dont see the cusine being anything to get too excited about. Good luck to the new chef (i hope he enjoys working like a robot!)
