Itsu

Itsu is a fast casual restaurant with a slightly more upscale feel but with reasonable prices. The menu is Asian-inspired and seems to gravitate more towards Japanese. Itsu's vegan offerings have expanded substantially over the years to include some delicious offerings, all of which are clearly marked on the menu and on the food packaging.

The Detox Miso Noodle Soup is still one of my favorites (and it's low calorie) but sometimes it can have too much seaweed (depends on who makes it). My new favorite menu items include the Veggie Dragon Roll (complete with vegan mayo!), the Veggie Meatballs & Coconut Soup, and the Veggie Gyoza Noodle Bowl. There are plenty of additional vegan and vegetarian options offered not mentioned in my review that are also worth trying. As previously mentioned, everything is clearly marked on the menu and on the packaging. Most staff seem to be pretty aware and knowledgeable of vegan options (a more common and accepted diet in the UK) in case you have questions about ingredients / menu items. (I personally would rate this a 3.5 given that it's a chain but bumped it up to 4 since half ratings are not allowed and this is actually a nice, higher quality, and healthy food option.)

Fast, affordable, lots of veggie options

I ordered the veggie gyoza udon, which included a lot of fresh vegetables in addition to vegetable gyoza and udon in a Thai spiced broth. The broth was a bit salty but overall I enjoyed the meal. There are grab and go options as well as hot meals. The service is friendly and fast, the price is right, and they are open late (10pm).

Pros: Fast, Reasonably priced , Open late

Cons: Too much salt in the broth for my taste

Not a Fan

I'm not a fan of sushi places; smelly places with pointless little slithers of food...

But I thought they'd made a good effort. I didn't go for the vegan 'sushi' as it looked like rice with a little bit of avocado in the middle, but the vegan wrap I had was nice and it came with an equally good misu soup for a fiver. Not bad.

It's nice inside. Worth a look if you like this sort of thing. I'd only ever get a wrap, but Itsu wouldn't be my first choice for that..

Pros: A decent number of vegan options

Cons: It's mostly sushi, I don't like sushi
