itsu - Neal Street

Drenched in a lively buzz typical of the Covent Garden district, Itsu offers a modern dining experience that seamlessly bridges fast food convenience with a touch of elegance. The two-level establishment invites patrons to explore a vibrant array of pre-prepared sushi and Japanese-inspired boxes displayed invitingly behind chilled glass cases on the upper floor. Venture downstairs, and you're greeted with a dining space complete with USB ports at the tables, perfect for a quick recharge—both gastronomically and electronically. In addition to cold offerings, noteworthy hot options such as vegan meatballs with mixed greens make for a notable introduction to their menu. Teriyaki and soy sauces are readily available to complement your dish, and though the logistics of restroom access require a code, the overall experience is sweepingly efficient. Faces are often illuminated by smiles from helpful staff like Ahmed, whose service goes the extra mile, imbuing the restaurant with a genuine warmth that makes every visit worthwhile.
