A large branch of the British-owned sushi shop/takeaway chain, opened as part of the redeveloped Bishops Square near Liverpool Street.

This branch follows the Itsu 'shop' format in that there's no conveyor belt to bring you sushi, but there is a vast amount of canteen-style seating to cater for the busy lunchtime crowds of office workers. There are some tables outside too, which are given some shelter by the high overhanging roof (I'd still find it a bit windy, perhaps).

On Kat's Thursday lunchtime visit in October 2013, there was a long but fast-moving queue. I picked up a Salmon sushi box (around £6.50) from the fridges at the side, and ordered a pot of green tea (£1.75) at the till which arrived very promptly.

Accessibility: no steps to get in, didn't check the toilets. All the seating inside is high stools and benches, but the outside stools are lower.

Last visited by Kat on 24 October 2013. Opening hours taken from the website.
