Description:
itsu is a collection of stunning, ground breaking sushi restaurants where you are always guaranteed the highest quality at a fantastic price. Each restaurant offers a mouth-watering selection of butterfly-light, beautiful food served with the highest service. You will be familiar with the convenient lunchtime takeaways, but today Groupon are offering a chance to experience their high quality restaurant service, where you can sit down to a lunchtime meal for two, or an indulgent dinner for one. With £40 worth of food for the value price of £16, including all food and drink, the choice is entirely yours. itsu have just four restaurants of this kind in London, and you get a choice of three, so this is a very exclusive offer!

Dynamite noodles, sushi, salads, soups and zero fat frozen yoghurt are all made fresh, on the premises every day. The consistent theme throughout itsu is always centred on ‘Health’ and ‘Happiness’. ‘Health’ because itsu food is light, full of goodness and won’t make you fat! And ‘Happiness’ because, simply, it tastes amazing.

You can enjoy favourites such as the Tiger Prawn Tempura with light batter and chilli dipping sauce: not too hot but spicy enough to give the dish real kick. The seared fillet of beef is packed with plenty of flavour. If you’re after a light bite try a tasty Miso soup or some crunchy Edamame.

Our Verdict/Review:
I have tried Itsu many times in the past (which working professional in London hasn’t?), and really do like their fresh, high quality sushi and food. However, unless I had an expense account to burn, Itsu can be quite expensive, and for the same quality you can get cheaper Japanese food elsewhere in London.

However, 60% off Itsu food seems like a bargain to me, and more so as this is valid in 3 of their branches in London, making it quite suitable for the majority of Londoners who live or work in central London. It is also valid 7 days a week, although be aware that there is a short expiry deadline (1 month), and it is not available for takeaway. £40 should be sufficient for two in terms of food and a drink or two, otherwise if you plan on having a few beers and making a feast out of it, its probably best to get 2 vouchers as you’re bound to exceed £20 each at normal prices.

Looking through the Itsu restaurant menu on their site, its interesting to note that many of the takeaway dishes, which I have grown so fond of, are not on the restaurant eat-in menu, which is quite bizarre.

Hot deal and a great way to start the week!
