    Great food and friendly service. Good ambience. One of our items was forgotten but the staff removed it from the bill without any trouble. The food was delicious, definitely worth a visit.

    Great food, presentation and attention to details. All menus are clean and visually appealing. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Music is enjoyable. Cocktails all looked beautiful, and tasted good except the purple rain (looked beautiful but no taste at all). Everything great, however only slightly expensive and the server knowledge of the ingredients could be better. But definitely recommend

    The waiter messed up our order so our party of 4 was eating at all sorts of different times…the edamames arrived about mid way through. I’d told the restaurant it was my son’s birthday but they did absolutely nothing to acknowledge or celebrate. We’ve eaten at the soho branch before. If the visit to the Islington branch had been our first to sticks & sushi, it would have been our last.

    Dear Sir/Madame, First and foremost I would like to apologise for the unpleasant experience from the other day! We are aiming for the highest standards and quality at all time and we value our guests' feedback as we can use them to continuously improve on our service. Based on your feedback, unfortunately, we did not deliver these said standards, but rest assured, we are going to investigate the matter and do everything in our power to avoid instances like this in the future. I sincerely hope that this will not discourage you and your dear family from further visits in our venues and that we can restore our esteem in your eyes! Best regards, Richard

    There is a very wide choice of delicious Japanese food. We were there for a special occasion as the food is not cheap but it is excellent. There was a slight problem getting a printed gluten free menu but it was sorted out eventually. It is better to have a printed version as looking it up with a Q code is rather fiddly.
    Sticks'n'Sushi - IslingtonResponded on March 20, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the food. We’ll work on improving the accessibility of our gluten-free menu for future visits. Hope to see you soon! Best wishes Sticks'n'Sushi Islington
