Square Meal Selections

Square Meal Review of Itsu ?

From the brightly coloured perspex mobiles endlessly circling in time with the kaiten conveyor belt to the no-nonsense high stool seating & buzzy balcony location above the Cabot Place mall, everything about this Canary Wharf outpost of Julian Metcalfe’s sushi chain has an underlying note of urgency. The menu is a short & snappy affair of sushi & sashimi – including a few vegetarian options – & is plumped out with soups, hot dishes & the surprise addition of Vietnamese crystal rolls filled with crab, duck or spicy tuna. Detox with green tea, try a pineapple zinger or wash it all down with Asahi beer, hot or chilled saké or one of the limited selection of house wines. Round off with fresh fruit or indulge with a very un-Japanese crème brûlée or chocolate mousse.

    Today was a day to have a mini-celebration of sorts as my thorn in the flesh has literally been taken out. I am referring to the VZV case study presentation in my Clinically Applied Microbiology module, which in my calculations – save from my lecturer’s comment that I totally forgot about breaching confidentiality- turned out quite well.

    I didn’t want to go home even if I was up early and now really exhausted, I thought the only way to relax is to go to the cinema and watch anything, tonight I decided to see “The Painted Veil”. I took the Tube from Finsbury Park all the way to Canary Wharf and was passing by the shopping center and saw an Itsu take-away shop. I so love Japanese food but very rarely gets the chance to have a sit down meal with friends who also love it, so I end up getting take-away sushi from either Marks & Spencers or Tesco’s. It’s the first time I’ve ever tried Itsu and I didnt care even if it was uncomfortable eating it in the cinema.

    I got the Super Salmon ‘3 Ways’- salmon & chilli salmon sushi, salmon & dill maki, salmon sashimi with mouli, wakame and oba leaf for just £7.55. I went to Tesco and got Copella’s apple with elderflower drink.
