A big thank you to Dinaben Babubhai Makwana for making me aware of the half price sale at Itsu before closing. Most branches start their sales 30 minutes prior to closing, but the Shoreditch branch on Great Eastern Street starts their sale at 20:00 when they actually close at 21:00. Of course, there is better sushi to be had in London if you want to seek it out, but the closing sale of takeaway boxes is perfect for a night you have stayed late in the office and are consequently too tired to cook.
The hubby arrived at 20:00 sharp on a Wednesday evening (while I was still stuck in the office) and was surprised to find there were 15 people in the queue in front of him. Nonetheless, with two efficient cashiers working, he was back out on the street with his purchases exactly eight minutes later. By that time a queue of 20 had formed behind him. Arriving right at the start of the sale meant that the full range of boxes was still available.
I arrived home to find a huge takeaway feast that only set us back £12.50. This comprised of edamame pods, Super Salmon 3 ways (sashimi, nigiri & maki), salmon & avocado maki, California roll maki, vegetable gyoza, and a salad box called hip and humble. The last salad item had a delicious and unusual green dressing. A sort of coriander based salsa verde that had been thinned down with sweetened vinegar.
My favourite sushi place, which I go to at least once a week and I always end up picking "super salmon 3 ways", which costs £7.99 and is great for lunch. Everything is freshly made on the day and of good quality. The place itself has a very relaxed atmosphere, with a lot of business people coming in during lunch time, because it is located in the business district. I would definitely recommend it as it also saves time since you don't have to wait for your food to be served.
Quick bite of sushi on the way. Chose Salmon full house and it was well worth it. Just enough to get the afternoon going.
