The new plans would see the unit used as a hybrid unit, with a focus on cold food take out - similar to the store it has at Edinburgh St James.
Itsu is famous for its low calorie and cheap sushi, salads and noodles, available at high speed.
If approved, the restaurant would aim to be open between 7am and 11pm.
Glasgow council planning officials will decide whether to approve the plans or not.
