Itadaki Zen – King’s Cross

I love sushi soyyy much šŸ±ā£
⁣
Did you know that there’s a 100% vegan sushi joint in town? 🌱 @itadakizenĀ has been on my list for years and I finally made it down!⁣
⁣
Here’s whatĀ @thebigjolleyveganĀ and I thought:⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Sushi – 12 piece set⁣
šŸ’°Ā£17⁣
āœļøI adored this. So nice to have some unusual ingredients rather than just cucumber! The aubergine, mushroom & the one with peanut sauce on were our faves⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Kitsune Udon set – 2 fried tofu on udon noodles w/ 5 pieces of Kimpab sushi roll⁣
šŸ’°Ā£11⁣
āœļø The chunky udon is like thick pasta but a little more chewy. The thin, spongey tofu soaks up the flavours well. Ginger flavour stands out. Loved the broth! The kimpab sushi was SO GOOD!⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Okara Balls⁣
šŸ’°Ā£5⁣
āœļø Tasty! Kind of like a mix between stuffing and a meatball. Crisp layer outside, soft inside. The gravy-style sauce was great, not as sweet as I expected⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Tendon set (tempura) w/ miso soup⁣
šŸ’°Ā£12⁣
āœļø Beaut flavours. I tend to find tempura a little too oily. However, the divine sauce complimented the dish well and I liked the contrast with the rice. Crispy onions worked well. Miso soup was great – sweet, not too salty and liked the chunky veg at the bottom⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Tofu steak w/ special sauce⁣
šŸ’°Ā£4⁣
āœļø The tofu had a very eggy, omelette texture. Loved the onions on top and the subtle but delicious sauce!⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Spring Rolls (x2)⁣
šŸ’°Ā£3⁣
āœļø Absolutely loved the texture, stuffed to the brim with a nice crunch. ⁣
Would’ve liked a dip to bring it to life!⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣Yes⁣
⁣
🌱⁣Kisetsu no goma-ae⁣
šŸ’°Ā£3⁣
āœļøThese are nice enough. They’re fresh and I liked the sesame dressing but wasn’t blow away by them⁣
ā“Order Again?⁣⁣ ⁣No⁣
⁣
Fantastic food but it is definitely a little pricey. The lunch menu looks like it would be a much better deal!⁣
