Decent quality of sushi boxes you can take on the go. Picked up the veggie box, and it was fairly fresh. They have a restroom you can use for free

Thai Noodles
Felicia C.

First impression, not Japanese whatsoever. However, I wanted something hot and fast to eat so I got the Thai Noodles and the Chargrilled Chicken Udon. Something that was cool was that these noodles were served in ice cream like pints which was pretty memorable and cute. Thai Noodles- It had potential, but didn't quite make the cut. The sauce was way too sweet, but had Thai flavors. The only reason this was remotely Japanese was because of the "udon" which wasn't thick enough to be called udon. Adding peas into the noodles just made it even more sweet. I would have appreciated it either being a soup or a dry noodle because there was too much sauce to be a soup or a dry noodle. Chargrilled Chicken- I appreciated the meat in the dish, but weirdly, this tasted kind of like the Thai Noodles. They both had similar flavors which made it more Thai than Japanese. There was a lot of vegetables and the ratio of vegetables to noodles wasn't ideal. Honestly, I wouldn't come here again. It had potential, but didn't execute it will.

Vegetable Dumpling Noodles, Sushi, and Rice Crackers
Iza P.

Walking around on our first day in London, of course we got hungry. And to my surprise, there were quite the number of fast food chain type of Japanese/Noodles places. We decided on Itsu because it looked clean and it was the closest thing to the London Tourist Center in Picadilly Circus. Generally, I am a bit fearful of sushi (raw fish) sitting in some cool container just waiting. I was even a bit more fearful as I wasn't too sure of how clean London restaurants are. But suffice it to say, I took a chance because...well...the sushi looked really good and it even came with salad. Because my mom and I were sharing the meal, we also ordered a vegetable dumpling soup, which was more than enough, even for 2 people. As mentioned, the sushi came with a salad that was quite refreshing with it's light dressing and sunflower seeds. The sushi itself was pretty fresh, and I adored the little soy sauce containers they gave us. Not your average foil pack like here in the States. All the soups came in 2 different sizes, except the vegetable dumpling soup. It just came in a large. I guess they figured if you are a vegetarian, you do need to eat more. But the dumplings were yummy, the veggies nice and fresh, and the sunflower seeds seemed to make their way also into the soup, making it really nice. I did find the soup a little on the salty side, but oh well. For our first meal in London, it wasn't bad at all. And I figured, if I couldn't find anything else to eat, I'd definitely eat here again.

Veggie combo minus a few pieces cause I ate them!
First L.

I came here for a quick takeaway lunch. It was packed around noon, but I was able to pick up a quick veggie sushi plate and be on my way. I ended up getting a plate of 12 pieces of sushi, side salad and 4 gyoza. All in all I think I paid about 6 pounds. Great quick, fresh and delicious sushi for lunch! Note: I only gave Itsu 4 stars instead of 5 stars because there was no wasabi or ginger included in my plate. Soy sauce was included, but I would have liked to see some wasabi and ginger.

I went to Itsu for lunch and I must admit, I prefer Yo! Sushi. Prices are about the same but food quality at Yo!Sushi is better.

Super fast, and great service. Perfect for dinner before a movie night…read more On Friday night, I did a dinner-fail situation. Forgot to made reservations before my 8:30 movie. I went to a few places, and finally got seated at Atari-ya. With 45 mins left before the movie and a hungry belly, we managed to chow down some really yummy Japanese food. If we were to say purely based on food quality, I'd give it a 3.5. Food quality is very fresh, but the presentation /cut of fish is a bit "fast-food-ish", not top notch. Based on price/quality/quantity comparison, I think it's a perfect Japanese place for a hungry belly without breaking the bank. However, the most impressive thing is their fast and quality service. Water fill? no problem. more ginger? Ok coming right up. Ponzu sauce? Right away! Bomb!

A little bit of a disappointment really. Atariya had always been the go to sushi restaurant for…read moregreat value good quality sushi. This seems to have really changed. We should not still be hungry after spending £30 per head on a sushi/sashimi platter each. They were described as 'large' but we both needed an extra snack on the way home! Certainly the quality and taste remain but the price has become too expensive to make it the destination restaurant it used to be. There are so many other alternatives that overshadow here in both quality and price.

Had the salmon set (£8) for lunch today and it came with a salmon avo roll and a plain salmon roll…read more I was unimpressed honestly. The price is much higher than other takeaway sushi, including Waitrose's Sushi Daily. It was fine and did admittedly taste fresher and better than Wasabi and Itsu. The portion of fish was also more generous in terms of the salmon to rice ratio. Ultimately though I thought the rice was just...very bland. I like sushi rice to be seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar and this was not. It fulfilled my sushi craving for lunch but I wouldn't get it again. Also, the set I got I thought was on the better end "value" wise. Their sushi ends up getting pretty pricey depending on what you get.

I walked past this place while on a stroll with my boyfriend at the time. We both loved sushi and…read moredecided to stop in. We had already eaten lunch so we didn't order much but that said: the crispy salmon skin and fatty tuna toro that we ordered were both delicious! They were a bit pricey (the toro was £13 alone and only came with 2 pieces, but for a snack I thought the place was great, and it was very open and comfortable to sit and rest a while since we'd been walking all day. I had very little interaction with the servers so can't comment much on that interaction (you walk up to the bar and order, which my boyfriend had done).

"So, what should we call our sushi restaurant? I don't want people to be under the impression that…read morewe're just, you know, a sushi joint. We're so much more. Korean food, on-the-go quick bites, soups and sides. Hmm. I just don't want to give people the wrong impression. It's gotta be a catchy title, something that'll grab the attention of people walking by..." The imaginatively titled Sushi & More served up the basics of what we were jonesing for on a Friday night in London: rolls, tempura, edamame for the kiddo. I thought the service was friendly -- they were planning to close at, like, 7pm, but the cook -- likely an owner -- threw together a special order for us. Generally, this is an option for the urban warrior who's powering through the day and just needs a fish fix. The price is right, too.

If you want Japanese and Korean food for a reasonable price then Sushi & More is a place to check…read moreout. The place is small and bare-boned but it works for the place. Their prices start from £5 for the main dishes. There is sushi, appetisers and Japanese soft drinks to go with your order as well. I went for the Chicken Katsu Curry (priced at £5.50) and it came in a bowl and the portion was good for it's price. The curry came quicker than expected so I assume that some of it is microwaved, but the food tasted good and the price was cheap so I don't expect the freshest but it can be misleading for some. They have started to do texting orders with that you can text them your order and collect it from the shop which is good to do if you are in a hurry. So a decent place if you want a cheap meal, but don't expect the best quality though.

Get to the Chase:…read more Pros: 1) It's quick service all because the food is rotating on a conveyor belt...but that also attests to the quality of the food (not so great) 2) Interesting idea of serving food, and also provide buttons at your table that can pour water or call out for a waiter (which does so in an extremely loud YO! YO!...very embarrassing)...definitely fun for kids Cons: 1) Poor quality food and preparation (everything done quickly without much attention, the food is sitting on a conveyor belt which is not refrigerated so food tastes stale and nasty 2) What you eat depends on what's on the belt, the most popular ones are always taken, but you can always order from a waiter (which defeats the purpose of the belt) 3) Extremely expensive; Each plate is colored based on their cost..so you have to either not care what you're eating or memorize all the color:price pairings...I came to eat not have a pop quiz

This branch of Yo Sushi really let's the chain down. I have eaten here on more than ten occassions…read more- more out of necessity than desire I hasten to add and each visit is preceded by the ritual "should I shouldn't I go" arguement. The quality of this branch is hit and miss. The fresh Sushi never seems to be on the conveyor belt....and if you order something you will usually be waiting for ages only to discover they have lost your order. The service is bad. More often than not I hear other restaurant goer complaining. It is a pity as I like the Yo Sushi chain,,,you know even though it is too expensive for what it is.

As soon as I made my decision and walked up to place my order, the waitress stopped what she was doing to talk to me. I ordered the chirashi donburi and.... It was pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. The fish all tasted good - I just wish there was a bit more - but the rice (and there was a lot of it!) was rather clumpy and stuck together, and not in a way that made me feel like it was meant to be... in a way that made me feel like they skimped on the sauce, if you know what I mean. I did like the sweet shrimp and the salmon. There was only one piece of tuna and at least 2 pieces of everything else, so I wish I had more tuna... but overall it was good, and definitely a place I'd return to. I can't decide if it's pricey or not because Im horrible at understanding sushi prices. I paid about £10.25 for a bowl of rice, 3 teeny little shrimp and 5 pieces of fish. You tell me if that's normal. Either way, I'll return - where else can I get sushi in the area?

There's a strong focus on local and seasonal produce and also an obvious focus on being a place for vegetarians to enjoy lots on offer. The service was very friendly and best of all if your local they deliver. This little gem is open late most night so is a great option for shift workers.
