Itsu - Queen Victoria St

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited Itsu in Reading and came away impressed though not unconditionally wowed. The food hit the mark with its fresh, flavourful charismatic vibrant food and sushi to hearty rice and noodle bowls. I opted for a Thai chicken rice bowl that was both tasty and health-conscious. The staff were warm, quick, and professional, which made the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming. A couple of small drawbacks in the form of my hot meal came in a cardboard container even for eating in which felt a bit underwhelming compared to proper bowls. And while the ambience was pleasant, the lack of some service finishing touches (napkins, plating, tableware heft) slightly toned down the experience. 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 good outing.

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 restaurant in Reading.

Food is very good, but quite expensive for what is offered. Staff are always happy to help and have good attitudes. It feels a bit like a pit stop inside though, not very relaxing.
