Review – Itsu
food menu
Broadly based around an Asian theme with a focus on fresh, healthy food, Itsu are very quick to point out their main USPs: the freshness of their produce and the authenticity of their dishes.
I opted for the Best of Itsu sushi set (£7.99), which included tuna, prawn and salmon nigiri and three types of California rolls.
I also had to try one of the famous hot Itsu pots, so went for a delicious Thai duck (medium £4.99, large 6.99).
Itsu’s choice of vegetables in these pots is great as the edamame beans stayed fresh all day and retained their crunch brilliantly.
I was very impressed with Itsu as all the dishes we tried were great and the service was impeccable.
Waka review, Monument, London: Japanese/Pervian fusion ...
food
A “grab-and-go” Nikkei (Japanese and Peruvian fusion) restaurant serving top-quality food for prices that makes Itsu seem expensive.
It’s a labour of love by brother and sister Irakli and Nino Sopromadze, who have overseen everything from the take-away boxes to the wall art.
The seared tuna is excellent, but if you’re in the market for fish, the seabass ceviche should be top of your list; with a well balanced leche de tigre (the citrus-based marinade that cures the seafood) and a dainty little edible flower perched on top, it’s hard to believe this is being served for a few quid in a take-away restaurant, and not going for £12 in one of Martin Morales’ (also excellent) places.
And there is, of course, also a good selection of Nikkei, sushi and sashimi.
It’s probably too casual for clients but the bright downstairs area would be ideal for a team meeting away from the office.

Itsu, London SW3, restaurant review - Telegraph
food staff
Spicy salmon sushi (£3.85) was good.
Salmon appeared again in my miso soup (£2.85), which was excellent, with yet more in the teriyaki maki (£4.95), which was pretty tasty but very sweet and, in this austere month, something you could only justify if you'd just been to hot yoga.
B had the chicken and coconut soup (£4.95), which was moreish, but not in a good way, more because it was extremely sharp and limey, which for some reason makes you want to keep eating it, the palate equivalent of scratching an itch.
In sum, the cuisine itself is healthy, delicious in parts, in other parts a bit neutral, but for a wide variety of reasons, impossible to stop eating.
Piled high with salads (think lentil and spinach, or brown rice, butternut squash and cherry tomato), vibrant vegetable dips and pitta, it costs £8.

Setting foot in the ornate Oriental/British fusion restaurant that is Itsu recalls the set of the infamous opera Madame Butterfly.
The first floor boasts a cocktail lounge: a large open plan area with a floor to ceiling window overlooking the hustle and bustle of Notting Hill Gate.
, the guests were taken downstairs to the Itsu dining area.
Rob also spoke of Itsu’s desire to continue to promote their “dining experience”, to make the public aware that the restaurant offers more than the high street takeaway choices for which it is widely known.
Until 30th April 2013 Itsu are featuring a £15 for 15th menu, created by Head Chef William Silva, with a range of dishes inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine to celebrate 15 years since the opening of the first itsu [dining] restaurant.
