Fewl free to sample all of the soups before buying (they don't quibble...although folk queuing behind you might, lol). Peak hours can bring long queues, but service is quick so you'd rarely have to wait more than 7 mins. Have to drop a star because at the end of the day it is soup I'm being sold for £6! It pains me every time when I think about it, but it never fails to be a tasty warm fix on a cool day.

I've had my fair share of delicious udon, but I've never really seen anyone do udon the way Koya…read moredoes and I love them for it. I've never seen so many variations in one place, and I've never seen so many temperature options. The difference between hot broth and cold sauce is pretty apparent. But I needed clarification about the udon itself. Hot udon means the noodles come served inside the broth whereas cold udon means it comes served sepatstely, and you're able to add it into the broth at your own pace and discretion. As someone who loves bouncy noodles, and hates basically all soggy food, I was amazed. Their broths are really flavorful and warm you up perfectly on the inside, the tempura is soo crispy, and the walnut miso is so addicting. Not to mention the servers are super friendly.

Pho has rich broth and comes with a packet of sprouts, julienne carrots, cilantro, and lime. It really hit the spot on one of those cold rainy London days. Shrimp summer rolls were tasty - fresh and wrapped neatly enough to ensure nothing came out. Most days there's queue but it moves pretty fast. So great place for a fast fulfilling meal.

I was craving soup, and luckily the soup of the day was tomato-perfect! I picked out a tuna sandwich and ordered a bowl of soup at the counter. Both of our meals were really tasty- my husband opted for a cheese and chive sandwich and an orange for dessert. With a bottle of water, the total was a little less than 10 Euro, so it was a good deal for the satisfying food.

Never to miss out on a freebie we popped by before work for breakfast. Although we were the only ones there the service was very very slow so I wouldn't dash in on the way to work - I would have to factor in time! The coffee is also only mediocre however they serve Tea Pigs tea which I am reliably informed is very good - definitely better than the tea bags we have in the office anyway! The pastries on offer were actually mini muffins which were quite nice but not very breakfasty. They serve these muffins all day long however the pastries, which are just served in the morning, look brilliant (the croissant I saw was massive and so flakey!). The soup menu looks good with some different combos available however is a tad pricey at £4 a pot. It is also waaaay too hot for soup this summer so won't be checking it out until winter!

But it's a classy spot where you don't get your hands dirty - so a little stuffy. The quality of the food was impeccable. The price was very high as well. Probably wouldn't go here again were it not for the sticky toffee pudding which was to die for. That alone would bring me back!

I completely understand why this place has been open for so long. It's every seafood lovers dream…read more We were recommended this place by a local and I'm so glad we took his advice. We came during a very busy lunchtime. Seating didn't take too long. My roommate and i enjoyed many dishes here and very much over indulged on the delicious food. We had eel, the pot pie, and the lobster mash. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the eel. It was some of the best eel I've ever had in my life. The lobster mash was full of flavor and paired well with the wine the server had suggested. My roommate was extremely satisfied with the well made pot pie. Def have a look at this gem!

I like itsu, I like sushi, I like lunching with a friend. at itsu you can do all these things :)…read morehow can it not be a happy place? Like all city-lunch-joints it has a haphazard queuing system but you make it to the front with the food of your choice. You can order a hot drink or soup, then pay and go, or pay and stay. All the extra goodies are right in front of you on the counter - chopsticks, pickled ginger, etc. I like the decor in this branch - it's girly (white with pink sakura wall decals), I like that it has so many windows looking out - making it feel more airy and spacious than if it was walled in on every side. I thought the staff were friendly. They have a very broad selection of sushi, sashimi, nagiri, etc etc. You can't really go wrong. My friend is veggie, so she was happy. I like the bottles of goo they have on the tables - lo-salt soy sauce (not a biggie for me, but will make some sectors happy), chilli sauce, hoy sin or similar. Hey, these are details.. but the details are what make a place eg. I hate that Starbucks can't be bothered to give me a spoon, but Costa can. So LUV to itsu for looking at all these little bits and pieces. The tables were clean. The floor was clean. I liked that the "stations" (those mucky areas where the trays pile up, and people can't be bothered to aim their rubbish into the bin-hatch. yuck) were also nice and clean and clear - during rush hour. Go itsu !

So yes it's a chain but I'm not going to complain. There is great sushi and it's an easy pick your food and go or have a quick meal with a friend. Since we don't have a cafe to eat in our office and often end up eating at our desk this is a great option. The slim salmon is almost always sure to please, the veggie dumpling soup is filled with yummy dumplings and fluffy noodles with miso soup, wow my mouth is watering thinking about it. Service is always friendly. The only thing I would suggest is spicier hot sauce and stronger wasabi -- I always throw on wayyyy too much!

This place is located inside a hotel, in a touristy area and also in an area full of offices. So…read moreyes, it is overpriced and underwhelming, since why try hard for tourists and overworked office personnel? Indoor and outdoor seating available galore. Modern, clean ambiance (best part of our experience here). The menu is typical western menu to please a bland pallet. Everything was bland. And I'm someone who doesn't go crazy with seasoning and spice (very conservative), so if I say the food was bland--it can't get any more devoid of taste and flavor. English breakfast was standard. Nothing to write home about. Same for orange juice. Omega 3 breakfast was lackluster. Everything was devoid of seasoning and flavor. How's that possible? Ingredients were good, but the dish just didn't work. What a shame. The power of salt and a little season cannot be overstated. The green smoothie was like juice--very watery. No pulp--or "smoothie" part. Sweet, so be warned. Mix in some water to dilute it. Staff are sweet and efficient. Only good things to say. Would not return. Spend your money elsewhere.
