itsu - Queen Victoria St — Restaurant in Reading

I recently visited Itsu, a Japanese restaurant located on Broad Street in Reading, and had an exceptional dining experience. As someone trying Japanese cuisine for the first time, I was thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Veggie Dragon Balls and Korean Stir Fry Noodles, both of which were delicious and beautifully presented.

The ambience of the eatery was inviting and comfortable, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The service was outstanding; the staff were friendly and attentive, offering excellent suggestions that truly enhanced our dining experience. The recommendations provided by our server were spot on, making our meal even more enjoyable.

One of the highlights was the quality of the sauces, particularly the Soy Sauce Teriyaki, which added a delightful flavor to the dishes. The attention to detail and the high quality of the ingredients used in the food were evident in every bite.

Overall, our visit to Itsu was a memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Japanese cuisine. The combination of great food, superb service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes Itsu a must-visit...

Also having just discovered most of the ingredients contains ALCOHOL (I don’t consume Alcohol) including their sauces , which I was not aware of until today. Nonetheless, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise very...

Love sushi and love this location with loads of seating inside, upstairs and downstairs. The loos are upstairs and the till receipt gives you the code for the loo door. They offer loads of sauces on the table and with the napkins. They also offer seeds to top your food as well as forks, chopsticks and soup spoons, all wooden. They have plastic cups and a drinking water tap too! The tables all have high seats with bag straps under the tables. There are usb charging points on each side too! The staff are so happy and helpful every time I go along. There is an Itsu app, if you scan when you purchase you collect butterflies, once you have 7 or 8 you get a free meal! The metal water bottles are great, the perfect size for taking shopping with you and reusable too and come ready filled so much cheaper than buying a reusable metal bottle elsewhere. I would happily go here every time I...
