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.

Itsu, Chelsea, London - restaurant review - Globalmouse Travels
food menu
Whether it is the children’s love of the novelty of the conveyor belt serving a variety of maki, sushi and sashimi, or the hot menu offering delicious bento boxes and hand rolls, the mix of food and great atmosphere, it makes for a great family night out.
The Salmon handroll was a great mix of salmon, pesto, watercress and rice – like a massive sushi cornet!
The staff at itsu were really helpful with menu choices and well informed on which dishes went well together.
It was great to know we were in good hands and ensured that we had the right dishes for all the family, especially when it came to the desserts.
itsu’s motto is “to help you eat beautiful” and we heartily agree that the range of dishes and fresh flavours make for a truly lovely dining experience.
We've found the best sushi on the high street - Good Housekeeping ...
food
Perhaps surprisingly, Sushi has its origins in Southern China, although it quickly made its way to Japan shortly after it was created in the eighth century.
It's a food that was born more out of requirement than convenience, as wrapping fish in fermented rice allowed it to be preserved for many months.
The sushi that we see as familiar these days, where the rice is not fermented, all has its origins in Japan, as the varieties were altered and improved over the years.
It steadily transitioned to a food known for being easy to eat quickly when you're on the go, and these days a convincing sign of its growing popularity is that you can find it at most supermarkets and at numerous speciality sushi bars on the high street.
Here's our expert 10-second guide to sushi: - Sushi is anything made with vinegared rice - Sashimi is raw fish served on its own - Nigiri is a slice of fish or other topping on a rectangle of vinegared rice - Nori is seaweed used to wrap sushi rolls - Gunkan is boat-shaped sushi wrapped in nori and topped with ingredients - A California roll is a roll made with crab meat or fish roe and avocado in the centre - Maki is vinegared rice wrapped in nori, and includes varieties such as Hosomaki (a small maki roll) and Chumaki (a larger maki roll with two to three ingredients inside)

Itsu [dining] in Notting Hill Gate | Restaurant review – The Upcoming
food location drinks staff value menu
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.
