    It's HALAL! SO glad to have come across this heaven on earth typa burger joint during my stay in London. They have quite a few locations around the city but this one near Tower Bridge inside an alley is my favorite one!! They're always packed! Regardless, never had trouble getting seated right away anyway. Love the vibe full of mid 20s-early 30s, as well as families dining here too! You have to go up to the register to order like any other fast food place, although this one's quite classy I must say to call it a fast food joint. MUST HAVE their Chick Chick Boom, it's a chicken sandwich​ with a juicy and huge portion of breaded boneless fried chicken, topped with blue cheese, grilled onion, avocado to name a few in a sesame bun, with a side of their infamous pomegranate homeslaw and sweet potato fries. TO DIE FOR! Yes,​ I know its a burger joint but surprisingly their chicken sandwich beats their actual burgers in my opinion. It's around $12 forthe sandwic​h, the ​total you're gonna spend about $20 for a burger/sandwich here but it's SO SOO worth it. I seriously can't wait to visit London again just to eat here again.

    I've been having drinks here for about an hour and no one HS come to clean a lot of these tables.

    I ordered a beer and I saw them pour it and place back by the kitchen to be delivered. It sat for 10 minutes until I had to get up, go behind the cash register and grab it myself. Horrible service.

    Lunch special menu.

    After visiting The Tower of London we decided to eat a light lunch and GBK was .3 miles from the exit. There is either seating inside or outside. You can download the app to order or go up to the bar and order. We ordered the lunch special, a pint, and milkshakes. The restaurant was clean and the wait staff was friendly. They even had free Wi-Fi. The burgers were delicious as was the sides. It's a definite stop for a quick meal while sightseeing.

    Loved my falafel burger and malted strawberry shake. What a satisfying and big portion after hours of walking in the Tower of London. Interestingly, this place was literally empty when we walked in on a weekend afternoon.

    I found this place by chance the last time I was in London, and was really satisfied with the quality of the food, so it was only natural to re-visit. They truly earn the name "gourmet", the burgers are juicy, tender and so tasteful. If your visiting the Tower or in London, just pop in for a quick bite, it's worth it!

    Burgers were delicious and the salt to add on the fries is great. Hope to find another location of these on our trip.

    This was my favorite lunch place when I was working in the area. It's a small space, almost…read moreexclusively takeaway, so it often looks like there's a long queue, but don't let that discourage you, as the staff are quick and efficient. They're also really nice and polite. Over the course of several visits, I tried the sirloin special, the coronation chicken, the chicken escalope, and the chicken/bacon/sweet corn sandwiches. I also tried the scotch eggs. My favorite was the coronation chicken, which I'd never had before (I don't think we have it in the States), but everything I tried was tasty and I'd be happy to have all of them again. The sandwiches are pretty reasonably priced at under £6, which is nice for an area where it's easy to spend the same amount on a cup of coffee and a muffin. I've always been in and out of the shop in just a few minutes, even when it's busy. Their prime lunch traffic seems to come around 12:30 and later; it was pretty empty the 1 time I went at 12. I've always been able to pay with my American bank card without any issues. Definitely recommend this place if you need lunch in the area! They also have breakfast, although I've never tried it.

    Best sandwich place around here. Their chicken escalope on granary bap is my personal favourite…read more Worth the walk if you are further away but lucky for me it's on my doorstep.

The food is tasty yet relatively healthy when compared to other fast food options nearby. The decor was also nice - spacious and clean with condiments, utensils and napkins fully stocked for self service. Staff are also nice too. I think it's important to set your expectations. This isn't a boutique high end sushi restaurant in Japan... I honestly wouldn't even call Itsu a sushi restaurant! It's a casual, largely self serve, fast food chain with some sushi on its menu. You can't be expecting a sub £7 sushi box to compare to sushi restaurants which charge that price for a single sashimi or nigiri. I enjoyed Itsu and would gladly visit one of their other chains.

    I don't think I can call Itsu's sushi.. sushi…read more.. I love jap food, and have travelled around Japan just for their food. Itsu's should not call what they put on the shelf sushi. More like a piece of fish on some rice (and no that's not sushi). Real sushi focuses on the type of rice used, the right amount of vinegar on each grain of rice, the moisture level in the rice. The focus on the grip of the chef is immense, as it translates to whether the sushi falls apart or it's too firm. All of these things come together miraculously, and bonded by some wasabi with a gorgeous piece of generous sashimi. That my friend is called sushi. Itsu's sushi was dry, hard, firm. Sashimi was not fresh and started to dis-color. I personally think it's just unfair how London is dominated by all these bad Jap food chains, and ripping the Londonites of great Japanese food experience. We should mourn for that fish even, as it certainly died in vain. Ok I should stop being dramatic. Reality is that we all know if we wanted great Jap food you won't go Itsu, or these equivalent chains. But personally think it felt more like a mock up than real Jap food at all. Not to be harsh, but i don't think consumers should need to pay so much for such quality.
