Really good sushi spot! The menu is really creative and the dishes are a lot more inventive then you see at a standard sushi joint. Don't expect your regular versions of things - everything has a twist to it even if you think you are ordering something familiar. My favorite dish was the spicy miso soup - I love miso soup but had never tried anything like this version. It was spicy and had the largest piece of cooked salmon ever in it. It was like a meal! The various rolls I had were really great and fresh. The interior is swanky and would be a great date spot.
My second time back at this location. Every bit as good as the first visit. Stylish sultry atmosphere, good for couples or groups. Excellent service (our waiter Dan) and very tasty food, just over £30pp with a drink and shared dessert inclusive of service and VAT Recommend the grilled endamame, spicy tuna roll, pretty much everything really. Make a booking.
Came for dinner after work - we are from New York. My Chardonnay glass of wine was quite good. We ordered "payday" which is a mix of sushi, sashimi, and skewered food for 105 pounds . Everything was quite delicious . The only thing that was a bit heavy and chewy was the skewered scallops with bacon. There was another scallop dish in the beginning that was very good . The ceviche white fish was excellent . Though most everything was quite good it is a bit pricey .
Yay sticks and sushi in earth hour ! Nom nom nom Me and my friend went there around 7pm and we didn't have any tables booked but it was okay, they have tables ! Since I am not a raw food person , we mainly went for the sticks .... To start with , grilled edamame was so yummy with a citrus taste after a squeeze from the lemon wedge. We ordered also the shrimp thingy and California rolls. I would say they are average but up to standard. And then main dish !!!the sticks ~~~~Mushroom, beef, chicken meatballs, asparagus and bacon .. And yup #girlscaneat and I had them all. They are best when it's warm. I saw other ppl having this big plate of sushi , certainly looks very well crafted! Man ... Typing this makes my stomach growl ! To finish with , I ordered a vanilla creme brûlée ! It's a tad tiny but it's nice, not too sweet but with the vanilla flavor which I absolutely adore. For wine , ordered the Malbec . Always like a full bodied wine and that one was just perfect with the food I ordered. For desert wine , we ordered two neat whisky ! Man didn't I love whisky , the Japanese habiki one was unfortunately unavailable , but others are equally good! Staff are quite attentive and generally have a fun attitude towards what they do. Highly recommended .
Sticks n Sushi, Crossrail Canary Wharf- I am human and I can hardly be objective writing a blog post on Stick n Sushi. To cut long story short, unfairness really peeves me. I should have just walked out in the first instance and in retrospect, I wish I had. But, I live to tell. Sticks n Sushi in Crossrail Canary Wharf is the recent addition of the Danish chain of Japanese food. The place is spotless bordering even on sterile. The black colour scheme fits in with the whole dining scene of Canary Wharf. Shiny and glossy black across the dining room was very trendy and chic partitioned with see through curtains, black of course, has another word to describe Sushi n Sticks - smart. With the seamless flow from the kitchen to the dining room. The menu had a nice layout. The pictures were flaunting every dish alluringly. Where usually visuals speak more than words, I find that with the pictures it turns out to be more confusing. I didn't know where to begin. Also, by my experience, I knew that these photographs showed enlarged proportions. Apart from the food, I fail to understand why photographs unrelated to either Sticks n Sushi, their food or the food scene in general. Where it belongs is in an art gallery where it could reach out to a more relevant audience who would appreciate the photographs, photographer, or the message that they are trying to convey. In a restaurant, er, why? Back to the menu, if you still can't decide, Sticks n Sushi provides help (or not) with the availability of set menus; it was even more difficult to choose. And their cute-sey set menu names: not witty. The food was very quickly served which is understandably if their clientele were largely lunch time employees in Canary Wharf. I love the ceramic dishes that were used and I certainly hoped that they had the same good taste for what will be on the plate. Beautiful vibrant colours of food, we all know that food like these are usually is an art of plating. My dining companion thinks that they have actually spent more time plating the food rather than cooking it. Service was good but feels a little hurried. The food on the whole was mediocre. The drinks list in Sticks n Sushi is rather lavish with spirits (although a whisky list without Scottish whisky is not going to please Mrs B), fine wines and interesting names of Japanese cocktail / mocktail names; I was tempted at lunch. Sticks n Sushi should have probably stuck with the bar concept. With the off and on bar snacks. And, perhaps the desserts. Do I want to go back again? The lousy service left a bitter taste in my mouth. They let people interrupt and jump the queue, then saw to them first. Management wasn't amicable for that matter. Whether it is everyone's darling or not, it is certainly not mine. So, no. The food: 1. seaweed salad GBP 5.50 - the collage of colours was so beautiful. Looking at the dish made me feel healthy and eating it makes me feel a happy diner but there was not quite enough seaweed, just a lot of radish, cucumber and pumpkin seeds. I envied the portion size of our neighbour's - theirs were more generous than ours. 2. soy cured salmon GBP 7.80 - topped with red onion, shiitake, dill, and miso mustard dressing. Start with the good bit. I thought that the shiitake and dill worked very well with the salmon. The not so good bits were the salmon did not taste of soy cured and miso mustard dressing tasted of simple mayonnaise. Not sure of this dish but it was not bad. 3. beef with crunchy chilli and garlic GBP 4.00 each - good cut of meat but the crunchy chilli and garlic fail to deliver in flavour. 4. lamb chop topped with miso herbed butter GBP 4.00 each - I like the little detail of bone attached to the meat but it was certainly not easy to eat off a skewer. 5. grilled king oyster mushroom with miso herbed butter and supreme soy GBP 2.50 - the fungi was nicely and neatly cut which I find it was far too organised. And unfortunately, the kingly trait of the king oyster mushroom was missed. 6. miso marinated black cod GBP 8.00 each - three words: beautiful, tender and moist. 7. white coffee crème brulee GBP 2.50 8. black sesame ice-cream GBP 2.50 - I am surprised that despite looking so intensely black, there was not much earthy and nutty flavour from the black sesame. I find it quite disheartening. Knowing from my own experience of making black sesame that the colour is normally greyish. Never this shiny black.
I've been twice to Sticks n Sushi - once when it just opened for lunch, and a second time more recently for dinner. Sticks n Sushi feels like a more modern, less fancy (and less expensive) version of Roka. My colleague and I actually went the first time since Roka was fully booked and we were already mentally prepared for sushi. While the rolls here were decent, nothing was really spectacular. The sticks in the set meal were not great. The menu is pretty stacked to the point that it becomes confusing. So many pictures. Everywhere. I'm not sure what Sticks n Sushi is really going for, but it seems to be a modern "fusion" izakaya, combining sushi and yakitori. Wait, isn't that what Roka is trying to go for by combining sushi with robata? Yep, seems like it. While I am not a big supporter of Roka, at least it's refined enough that we can celebration or client events there.
This is the newest offering at canary wharf where the new crossrail station is located. You get there by leaving the big exit at canary wharf tube, turn right into Canada square and go straight. Right to the outside at the end you will see a line of new restaurants on the right. Came here for the soft launch and got my hands on Hells kitchen roll Rainbow roll Formidable roll Mix sashimi Beef tataki Soy cured salmon Ebi bites Crispy, love the chili on top to give it some kick. Companion commented it tasted slightly like squid which surely must be a compliment!! This is a fried prawn starter! Coal crab roll I do not recommend ordering this because you can barely taste anything, it is very bland. Desserts are really really good here. I love all of the ones I've tried. Overall they have a bit of teething problems, lights weren't working properly, but their staff training is still better than average, love their attitude to customers. They always try to accommodate requests. Food wise its not the tear inducing meal that I've had my first time Covent garden. That must have been an exceptional chef that day! Still, sushi looked good and tasted good. And now that this yummy restaurant is close to home, I'll be here often!
I very much enjoyed Sticks and Sushi at the Crossrail place in Canary Wharf. The price is in on the high side, but its not surprising, for one you can check the menu online before you go, second - its Canary Wharf. I really like the restaurant, very modern and smart, certainly fits in with the theme - the modern Japan, the "MUJI" style, plain, bold, very organise look. I can tell they have put quite a lot of attention in the small details, like the bottle of water, toilet signs etc. There are no hippies here I can tell you that. The service was good, very attentive, explains and recommend what's on the menu, poured our water when our glasses are empty, clear our plates when we finish - just how I like it and if we wanted something change on the menu, they will do it. Note: the restaurant is very large, and lucky we went when it was quiet-ish. I can see bar stools, and tables where you may share with other diners, if it was to get very busy. The food was also good, couldn't really decide so chose the platter for two , the rolls and sashima were at the right temperature, vinegar content was good, layout and presentation was good. The sticks (yakitori) was interesting, tasted good and full or flavour. I tried the duck hearts for the first time, and that was nice. The desert was so interesting, I had to try, although at this point I was quite full. Black sesame ice cream, I actually liked it, it messes with your brain, the black textured ice cream, and the tasting of it. After the meal, had to walk it off, and what better than strolling on the roof garden above.
Went around 7 with two babies, didn't book tables seated almost immediately stylish low lite mood, kids menus available. We both ordered sushi and the sticks both were delicious ordered extra meatballs as they were great 2 people 2 babies spent around £40 between us, perfect for a date or just a cheeky catch up dinner
We ordered via Deliveroo, but were a bit tickled by the packaging - the tiny soy sauce bottles really did it for us We ordered a few rolls, karaage, toro katsu sticks, tuna tartar, and the Hell's Kitchen. I'd highly recommend this to anyone and please be sure this business survives because it is magic in the forest. read more
Went there before heading to the cinema next door. We got seated very quickly and drinks and food we ordered arrived rather quickly. All the food was really fresh and tasty! There is quite a range on the menu. We had a quite big platter to share between the two of us. All of it was delicious! I'm looking forward to go there again! read more

Good place for Sushi and Yakitori in a nice ambient. I had some rolls, yakitori and other appetizers and they were all good and fairly priced given the good amount of fish/meat. Their salads are also very good and huge! read more

A great and versatile place to go to with friends, a date or coworkers! Not cheap but the food is definitely worth it! This particular Stick N Sushis has an industrial feel to it and there is a great atmosphere, I loved the decor! The staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for a trendy dinner in London! read more

Service is very friendly and attentive which is a plus for this area. The food (ceviche roll, spicy miso soup, tuna tartare) were all ! The drinks look pretty good but you can't go wrong with their teas so give them a try. I visited this venue 3 times so it's a solid review. read more
