Fast Heathrow Japanese meal option. Sushi was edible, and better than I expected for airport take away. It's like drug store sushi, actually[1]. Ha! Itsu offers coffee (I got some) and they also have these amazing bottled waters - get their peach and lychee flavor! Chef's kiss. Credit accepted. Prices are high (you're in an airport) but not outrageous. Looking for power? There's a few charging tables nearby with a variety of outlets. Next time I'm at LHR, I'll be back for a fancy bottled water. [1] Anyone remember when drug stores in NYC offered sushi? Do they still do that? read more

Fast food Japanese food in LHR Airport to consider if you're in a hurry ...or just feel like eating something with rice as compared to potatoes or bread! (Especially like a person from Hawaii like me!) Flew threw LHR several times over the past few years and first noticed this place in 2019. If there is a line, it isn't very long and moves fast. Got places to sit down and have some charging ports . Food selection is somewhat limited with salmon Inari or Maki style sushi, got some salads, or if you want something hot, got won ton or chicken bowls and a few other things. I find it convenient since it is right next to a sitting area if you have to make a connection but your flight gate # has not yet been announced. Unlike some of the worn, high volume, highly used ports that may not work in (free) sitting area outside, so far all the ports and outlets have worked in the dining area here! So a place that I've come to stop by almost every time for a quick bite to eat at LHR! read more

For airport food, I was pleasantly surprised! My flight was delayed and the onboard meal was modified so they offered us a 10£ food voucher. I had not been to Itsu before but saw signs all over London and was feeling something a little healthier. I tried the double chicken teriyaki which was only 10£ and I was anticipating it to be a lot more. The chicken was a bit dry but it came with a good portion and lots of rice and vegetables. read more

The food options at Terminal 5 were limited and all the sit down restaurants I passed had waits. I didn't want to risk a long time to eat when I had a flight and I didn't want to just grab a sandwich sitting on a shelf for who knows how longs at one of the shops. So a good medium solution: itsu. Hot food quickly when you need a meal but are conscious of time. I got a thing of sushi and thought it was fine. It's better than I expected for an airport, so I was happy. It was nicely packaged. My husband got a noodle soup and it was nice and hot and chock full of meet and veggies and was very filling for not too high a cost (again, it's an airport, things are going to cost more than on the outside). We finished the meal with a pair of mochi which was a nice little sweet bite. There were chargers at the tables but the ones near me didn't work. I saw other people charging though, so that's a bit hit or miss. For the other options in the terminal, I think this was a good balance of speed, taste, and cost. read more

Great little sushi place in Terminal 5. Take out is slightly cheaper, and they have some tables with USB power. Perhaps a bit pricey, but fresh, very tasty and nicely arranged with various greens, grilled onions, scallions etc. If you full power outlets, check right behind the establishment at the row of chairs with UK power outlets and USB outlets. read more

I was looking for a quick bite and some charging on my layover in LHA. I stumbled upon Itsu and was very pleasantly surprised. Excellent healthy choices, nice selection for vegetarians. As a vegetarian, that is very important to me. The 2 quinoa-falafel and veg rice bowl is nice. Perfect amount of spice, probably a bit heavy handed on the portion of rice. 3 falafels for that amount of rice would be preferable. Hot gyoza dumplings are worth the splurge. I heard the cashier mention everything is fresh and regularly rotated out every few hours. Takes away the fear of airport food! My meal including a Pellegrino was about £10 so definitely on the pricier side. Especially considering I'm watching the "big family cooking showdown" on Netflix and they are feeding 4 people for £10. Edit:realizes they charge you more to stay and sit in their area. Probably would've been better off taking to go, but now that I've paid more to stay here I'm going to charge every device I own hahaha. read more

This was a new restaurant relative to my last visit to Terminal 5. I was familiar with the restaurant having eaten previously at one of their in town locations. This location was similar. Customers order at a walk up counter. There is a small seating area with small community tables. I had the veggie'gyoza noodle'bowl. It was tasty, and I enjoyed it. The dish was available quickly after I ordered. This may well be my new favorite Terminal 5 eatery. read more

Great, quick place in terminal 5. Soups and sushi are good. Service is quick and the ambiance is airport.

Early Wednesday morning, needed a spot for a quick breakfast in the terminal. Not too bad of a line here and lots of seating with USB charging ports for your phone/accessories. Went the healthy route and ordered the Blueberry Boost Porridge (£3.49) and a bottled juice (£2?). Porridge comes out quickly; a warming, semi-sweet oatmeal with several blueberries on top. Surprisingly balanced, not bland at at all. Juice is a blend of berries and oranges, a little on the small side but didn't need a large portion. For airport food, not bad at all. Not sure about their lunch options but the breakfast is solid. read more

A decent place in Heathrow to have a quick sort of healthy meal before a flight. They have a pretty good selection of prepared sushi trays to go. They charge you more to eat at the tables there. Your better off getting it to go. There are some counters right in front where you can sit, eat, and recharge any electrical items. read more

I eat here whenever I come to Heathrow as I quite like the Itsu chain for their healthy and convenient Japanese style food. Although it's not like one of those hard core authentic (and usually expensive) Japanese restaurants, it does a healthy take on Japanese food and combines a few Western ingredients such as Avocado and does low carb salads so it's great for something less heavy before a flight. They have various sushi bento boxes, salad boxes such as Tuna sashimi salad, edamame, sashimi etc. However, if you are looking for real "Asian" food, you will not find it here as this a very Westernised take on Japanese food combined with the latest health trends. For those who prefer hot food, they have some great brown rice bowls and soups too, although I found the soup to be a bit too salty. My mum had one of the curry brown rice bowls and found it to be pretty good and quite filling. The prices are decent enough, not overly expensive but not super cheap either. Most things are around or less than £10 though. The service was ok, although they forgot to make my coffee so I actually had to go up and remind them about it. They have a nice selection of smoothies and drinks plus a cute panda shaped bento for kids. The portions are perfectly sized; not too big and not too small. In terms of freshness, it's hard to judge as everything is in the fridge and you just pick out what you want. I saw then restocking it a few times, so I suspect it would be reasonably fresh. Overall: Healthy and convenient Japanese-ish style food that won't make your wallet cry. Food: 3/5 Convenience: 5/5 Prices: Reasonable Variety: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Seating: 4/5 read more

YUCK Overpriced dry Chicken Thai. $7.95Euros flavorless, with out spices or salt. & the only flavor you get is when the thin emotionless woman comes from behind the counter to SPRAY CHEMICALS ON YOUR TABLE WHILE YOURE EATING. She actually knocked my tray with food on it---spraying to clean our table. She didn't apologize, she pretended she wasn't there. If only I could do the same She looked as if she were hungry exploring foods on the table. Why would you have your servers spray tables while customers are eating their food? Shame on you ITSUE shame on you Paris has cooking institutes, find some new chefs. Please and thank you read more

Me and my husband stopped here for a quick bite before our next flight. They have pre made dishes. Nice open seating. read more

Ok, I admit I know nothing about Japanese food, but... for someone who knows nothing, I thought my food was great. I'm not even sure what I purchased. A soup with dumplings, lentil, noodles... really tasty. It was ready quickly. Service was fine. Location in Terminal 5 actually felt like a quiet spot, even on a very busy summer travel day. There were places to sit and charge phones. Compared to the other venues in the very busy terminal, this place really struck my fancy. Prices were fine. All of that combines to a solid recommendation. read more

It's all been said and Itsu helps you connect with your normal self while waiting for your plance from Terminal 5. It's also a fantastic place to hang out with pilots, if that's your thing ... 6 passed through as I was munching my way through my favourite sushi selection! read more

We had the chicken teriyaki and some korean chicken. Rice wasn't all that. It's was a bit hard and undercooked. First and last time coming here. Maybe I should've chosen the sushi instead? read more

Excellent choice of healthy and not too heavy meals, drinks and fruits. Wish more of this kind of eateries will pop up at all airports which usually it's hard to find decent food read more

I love frozen yogurt and all throughout my London trip felt intrigued by the Itsu branches I saw all about town. I had given up edging in a visit when I saw an Itsu right in the middle of Terminal 5. I now feel sorry for Brits. Get yourselves to N.Y. or L.A. and try Pinkberry sometime - see if you can stomach Itsu afterwards. I tried the Strawberry Sun which came with yogurt and strawberries. The yogurt had a strange consistency and left an unpleasant aftertaste. I threw most of it away in disappointment. I don't think I'd even resort to Itsu to kill a craving. read more

When I finally got into the departures lounge at Terminal 5, I found that I was starving and didn't have enough time to sit down and enjoy a leisurely bite to eat. When I got to the gate level I saw Itsu and went straight to it. Itsu in Terminal 5 is the brands' first airport outlet. I have never eaten Itsu food before, and was pleasantly surprised by how good the quality of the products were. I bought a box of salmon sashimi sushi and salmon and avacado sushi. It came with a large portion of vermicelli salad moistened with sweet chilli sauce. The sushi was good, except it did have too much wasabi in the salmon sushi, which would have tasted better with less of it. Overall, what I got was just right to fill me up and was easy to eat with some haste before I boarded my plane. read more

If stale rice, under-ripe avocado and crunchy sashimi is your thing, then come on down to Itsu!! This is the best sushi in Heathrow Airport. I took the 3 kinds salmon box set to go. read more

I've never eaten in itsu outside of Terminal 5 but I have a sneaking suspicion their prices might be better value for money out in the real world. Their clever location next to a super swanky smoked salmon and caviar concession makes them seem like pretty good value in airport terms anyway, and with vegetarian and vegan options on the flights departing nearby poor to non-existent, it's great to have an alternative at hand. The Forever Young Miso soup is really tasty as is the avocado and noodle salad I had on my last visit, though that isn't featured on their online menu, but it's disappointing there are no vegetarian sushi options. Come on guys - tofu and avocado? Cucumber? I felt quite smug boarding the plane with my soup in one hand and salad in the other though, and didn't mind declining the offer of a cheese sandwich later on in the flight one bit. read more

Nice to see an Itsu appear at an airport terminal as a healthy option. not sure about my coffee though (scalding hot) and lack of breakfast options (only yoghurt or fruit) but the lunches look great and even better is the cosy booths and cushions. read more

I grabbed a bite to eat at Itsu in Terminal Five and was happily surprised. I got the chicken and rice which was a hearty and flavorful portion that was ready in about three minutes. I had a bite of my friend's sushi, which was also good and quite fresh despite sitting in a fridge. I thought Itsu was perfect for a quick bite but also wasn't comparing it against the entire Asian food genre for accuracy. My portion was a good size for the money and my food was a large step above plane food! read more

Got the chicken&rice bowl and it was definitely the worst "Asian" food I've ever had in my whole life...

Great sushi in the middle of Heatrow airport at affordable price

This place is legitimate for sushi, and at a really reasonable price. Every time I fly through Heathrow I pray that I will end up in Terminal 5. The fish is always really fresh and the perfect portions. Seating is open and casual, pick up your sushi from the refrigerated section, pay at the counter and sit as you like. Recommend! read more

Waiting to board back home to the US and wanted a cold beer to take with my packed lunch. Came here for beer. The only beer available is a Japanese brand that was overpriced. Went to check out and clerk tells me I cannot take beer out of the small open area because of local laws which I perfectly understand. Then I asked if I could eat my packed lunch there. Answer was still "sorry no". Opportunity to make about $15 off me lost. Can't understand the business sense. read more

Dear Itsu, if your customer is given the choice to have the order as a take-out, please, please, please do also add a fork or chopsticks to the bag... really would have liked to write about the food instead, but wasn't able to eat once I arrived at my gate (after taking the train from Terminal 5 to the B gates) and had hoped to have something to eat before the flight. read more

i don't buy packaged sushi unless it's a japanese supermarket, and even then i'm wary as refrigerated rice gets hard. but i did try the frozen yogurt and it settled my stomach after being bloated and irritated from flying 10 hours. plain, it tastes just like actual yogurt you eat in the morning with granola, only frozen. normally i like it a bit more tart but it's got a nice healthy flavour. read more

I recently passed through Heathrow Airport (late May, 2014) and had a mixed sashimi plate for £ 9.99 at about 10:30 AM. The meal was attractively presented but by the following day I was stricken with a range of gastric problems, including spasms, distention, gastritis and malaise which in varying form have continued for four days now. I fear the raw fish had become contaminated by the time it was served, or bore parasites. I cannot say for sure, but perhaps sashimi is not the best choice in the AM at an airport food venue. read more
