Restaurant Profile: Sticks n Sushi London

The boys tried this place out for our youngest son's birthday, so Mr M and I decided to have dinner there a few nights ago. Parking was close-by and hassle free, which is very rare in central London- I was impressed already. Walking in, we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff. The decor was beautiful- Oriental, but not in the usual 'over the top' way we frequently see in Eastern restaurants. 

Sticks n Sushi London Ambience

There were hardly any customers there when we came in. I was more than happy about that because I like dining in a quite restaurant- is that weird?

I chose a table close to the window- I like to keep an eye on the outside world while I'm indoors. Call it FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), call it ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Or maybe I'm ODD (just plain odd!). We were served by a charming lady named Penny. Poor thing laughed at all my jokes, even the scary ones (I told her about an incident at BBB, and possibly expressed a desire to harm the guilty party). I was kidding, of course,  but I'm not sure if she got that- I have an awesome p-p-p-poker face :)

Sticks n Sushi Cosmo

I love me some cosmopolitans, but this hasn't always been the case. The first cosmo I had was AWFUL, made me think this drink was not for me. On a whim I tried one again (at a different establishment) and loved it. Watch out for 'Cocktales', which will feature a lot of cosmos. Back to Sticks n Sushi...

The bar menu was pretty cute- 'The bar is open', lots of drinks pictured- my kind of vibe.

Sticks n Sushi Bankrupt

I ordered a 'Bankrupt'- lovely meal, but the presentation was disappointing. Who's grandma's kitchen did this reject plate come from?

It would've looked so much better in a smaller, cleaner plate. Ah, well.

Salmon, Duck and His Friends

He had a 'Salmon, Duck and his Friends'- the name alone was endearing.

This meal looked great from every angle. And of course I had a bite- my own meal looked like a haggard housewife who couldn't be bothered to dress up for her own dinner guests.

The website version looks good, too. But honestly, we were sold on the one on our table.

Overall, a pleasant experience. If I find myself in the area again, I'll gladly pop in for a meal. Thank you, Penny, for helping put Sticks n Sushi at the top of my recommendations list.

Love, 

Mrs. M
