Itsu - Oxford

Very small portions and I am not a big eater. They only half filled our take out containers and we didn’t ask for takeout. Too much sauce not enough vegetables. Nice taste to sauce on Korean undo. Definitely not as pictured. Was all noodles sauce and pees. Great takeo outrefillable water bottles water

I was disappointed with the cashless system at this restaurant. I prefer to use cash to help myself budget, but when I visited the new branch in Staines, I was turned away for wanting to pay in cash. I have decided not to return and will continue to frequent MoMos in Staines for my sushi, as they accept all forms of payment.

I hadn't planned on dining here. I was just looking to pick up some sushi to-go. Around 9pm, half an hour before closing, all the sushi was half price. What a great deal!

Sushi meals really good, but pricey, as expected from this chain. Had to pay by card as no cash payments allowed. This seems to be the normal in Oxford, everywhere seems to be card only except Wetherspoons. The ATMs also didn't work to withdraw cash, even Sainsbury's ATM was out of order. Not everyone uses cards and apps. Some people prefer to use cash when travelling. Establishments could be losing much needed trade due to card only payments.

Itsu offers a variety of Thai, Japanese, and Oriental dishes that are both light and satisfying, as well as very healthy, especially if you opt for the hot meals. I'm not a fan of sushi because I don't like raw fish, but that's just my personal preference. I was served my meal quickly and found it to be just what I needed on a cold day. In my opinion, it's good value for the price.
