Pret A Manger - Hot chocolate

Wonderful little French spot to stop and get a coffee. I…read moreordered a hot chocolate, which was indeed "luxurious". I nearly couldn't handle the thickness and richness, but that is what they advertise. Pastries looked incredible, I had to snag a bite and absolutely loved the macaroons. Great texture.

Well at the start the subscription was good. £15 a month and a wide range of choices. Then it went…read moreup to £20 and still good value and by £25 you have to think. But then they announced this " Pret-a-Manger has said it will stop making smoothies, frappes and milkshakes in another blow to its UK customers and drinks subscribers." So I'm like right so what now, then they launch the ridiculous coolers that lack any flavor. They then relaunched milkshakes I'm thinking good. Now they announced this ". First introduced in the UK in April 2023, Club Pret is an evolution of the highly successful Pret Coffee Subscription and will now include an exclusive always-on 20% food discount in addition to 5 drinks per day" Then they announced another price rise to £30 but scrapped milkshakes again and made people use there app. This stopped people sharing there QR code. Why not offer a 2nd user for a fee not Pret. So if you don't like cold coffee it's either coffee or watery coolers for £30 a month. And also it's only 1 size. If you find you buy coffee regular in town it still has something to offer, but if you're wanting smoothies, proper coolers, amazing milkshakes then this isn't the place. I ditched it and take my own from my Tassimo coffee machine and ninja smoothie maker and never look back Also where do they get there food prices from soup £4.50 baguettes up to £6. They know the prices are ridiculous .

Itsu - Salmon teriyaki on rice

Really great spot for a quick bite, be it lunch or getting a quick fix before meeting up with…read moresomeone or heading home. 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.
