Sticks'n'Sushi Chelsea in Kensington and Chelsea

Came here for a late lunch. Had been to the convent garden branch a few years back and it was quite tasty so was looking forward to another great meal. NOT! We tried the £19.50 lunch specials - he got sticks and I got the salmon and cucumber sushi wrapped in rice paper. The miso soup and the edamame were tasty. The wakame salad was ok. The rest - inedible. The sticks had no flavor - lamb was over cooked and chicken was in a grossly sweet teriyaki sauce. The sushi was awful. The cucumber was cut too big so you couldn’t taste the salmon and the rice paper way too thick. I couldn’t even finish it it was so bad. The server was none too friendly nor was the host that seated us. Will not be back.

Great Japanese food, reasonably priced

I don't usually leave reviews, but I want to express my gratitude to our server, Senia, for giving us such a wonderful start to 2025. We had a gathering of two large families, and Senia went above and beyond to make our experience special. She not only ensured our food was served promptly and accurately but also shared fascinating insights about Japanese culture. On top of that, she took amazing photos and videos for us, capturing our memorable moments perfectly. What made the experience even more delightful was how Senia connected us with the table next to ours, creating a lively and joyous New Year atmosphere for everyone in the area. Thank you, Senia! We’ll definitely return to hear more of your stories and enjoy another great time.

A very minimalistic but cosy Japanese with a Norwegian twist restaurant on the Kings road in Chelsea.. interesting and mouth watering menu with so much choice either dining alone for a quick bite during shopping or dinner with friends.. something for everyone..eat at the bar seeing everything being prepared or on one of the art deco sofas watching the world go by through large glass windows Crisp professional service being attentive but not intrusive by friendly staff...loved it definitely a 10 and definitely a return visit to explore more 👍⭐

I just wanted to leave a review saying how fantastic the servers were last night! We went for my birthday and the staff made the night!!

Waste of time. Horrible food and unfriendly staff. Avoid!!!!

mediocre food, mediocre service

Amazing experience. Booked ahead and arrived early with very little wait. Bar table was actually a great experience. Food was delicious, cocktails incredible.

Santiago provided us with amazing service. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Food is good and the Hong Kong lady staff here is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly attentive despite my dad's annoying request. Friendly, professional, and always with a smile, truly made me feel welcome and cared for. Thank you

Very commercial sushi, not pricey, but not specially good. Ambience during the week is not great, I assume on the weekends will be better. Great place to go with children or to have a quick lunch or dinner

I’ll start with the positive: the food is always good. The negative: sorry, it’s a bit of an essay. Strap in. The summary: for the price, you’d expect some level of service. Having said on our booking that we were bringing our baby, the staff decided it would be a good idea to seat us at a table where the only place for our pram (our baby therein) was the walkway. The staff member who sat us didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong from a safety perspective with servers wielding trays full of plates, glasses and food directly above a pram with a real, human baby in it. Besides, the other tables were reserved. After we pointed out the obvious and after quite a bit of confusion, we were eventually moved, by one member of staff, who mercifully did have common sense, to the lounge area. We deemed this a success as A&E on a Sunday isn’t notoriously enjoyable. Our relief was short lived. Given their inability to seat anyone within 5 minutes, the area was frequently taken up by 10+ standing people, waiting for tables. Not the best environment if you have to breastfeed an infant. Unless you enjoy a hungry audience. If you do, book now and fill your boots. The kicker: it took 2 hours for some of the food to arrive. We don’t believe this was the case of a systematically slow kitchen though - we saw people who arrived 1 hour after us come and go. When married, a common enemy often unites you. Thank you, Sticks and Sushi, for bringing my wife and I considerably closer together on a Sunday afternoon.

Too bad I can't put zero. The welcome and service are deplorable.

We asked for a table of 2 to which the employee said we’ve got absolutely nothing for the next 2 hours. There were a few tables available around the restaurant however fair enough they might be for reservations. I get out my phone to check if there’s any reservations online to book to which the woman states very rudely and snarky “you won’t find anything all line guys I just told you it’s a 2 hour wait” so we leave due to her rudeness only to find loads of reservations available online one of which in 10 minutes so we book that walk back in greeted by a different employee and she sits us a our table. The whole thing was really bizarre are made us feel like absolute idiots. I don’t know what was going on but the woman clearly thought we weren’t good enough to eat here for some bizarre reason. Horrible experience! Food is always great

A good welcome from a gentleman but an exchange at the table with an absolutely unpleasant young woman. No smile, blasé and obviously, we were annoying him with our order. Rolling your eyes is not appropriate behavior when working in the restaurant industry. If this young woman doesn't like her job, she must have the courage to look elsewhere. We went to the neighbors.

I really loved the food in this Sushi Restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant has a modern look. Me and my friends tried different plates. The Sushi was great, the kebabs also. Didn't expect such a nice experience overall.

We sat by the window in the front for an afternoon lunch. We were ignored the whole time. Had to walk to the bar to get someone to come and take out order. No one checked in on me & my daughter once. We didn’t get to order more food, drinks nor desert. There were staff around. They just ignored us. Only once we had our coats on, after waiting too long yet again, did someone realise we might want the bill. Super disappointed as we’ve always loved the place & the food there in the past.

My experience tonight was a mix. The food was good, the server was alright. My disappointment is with the manager that runs this place, she definitely needs to learn to speak to all guests in the same tone. We arrived, were greeted, given a table, service was slow, orders were taken after almost 15 - 20 mins of us being seated. Fair it's a busy weekend. The order is served after almost 35 mins. When served I asked the server why the delay, it's been more than 35mins, before she could respond her manager pitches in a flat tone, we had a power cut, I go like okay, she adds, weren't you here when the power went off? I said yeah it went for 10secs, her response was I cannot control the electricity in Chelsea, your order is late coz of power cut, puts the food on table and leaves with the server. This same lady manager then serves on the table next to us and apologizes to them for the delay. I wonder whether her tone depends on the race and ethnicity of people she serves? Mind you our bill was more than 100💷 for 3 which we are alright with coz the food was good. The server however apologized when she came to clear up, sweet girl. I have eaten at multiple restaurants in Europe, England and Scotland, I have not once come across such poor hospitality and communication especially by a senior herself. All in all go for the food, not the service. Our drinks were messed too and had to send back to correct, but it's a long review already. Cheers!

Delicious food & great variety - went for the “set for success” set menu. Highly recommend!

A much hyped venue we were taken to by our daughter. The food was good though not particularly memorable. It was, however, extraordinarily expensive.

Had my doubts but this place actually delivered! The sushi was tasty! The service is on point.. everybody is extremely attentive and things are very well organized.. especially as this location churns through a LOT of people The food came out within minutes of us ordering (very impressive) and was really tasty Highly recommend grabbing one of their bowls.. the rolls were all on point too

Very great and fast service! The food was delicious. One of my favourite brunches!

Great food and great service from Atharva - 5* service!!!

Second floor is not as fancy is first one. Acoustics are not great, very load.

Amazing place. Excellent service. It's my favourite place to eat while in Kings Road while shopping.

I’ve been to a few branches and feel like you can never go wrong with sticks n sushi. I went for dinner and walked in with no reservations. I asked for fresh lemonade, and they even catered it to my taste buds, gave me options of bitter or sweet. This place is always a safe option when craving some sushi!

We love this place. The staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. The food is always good. Yesterday, we had Will as our waiter and he made our dining experience just perfect! He was already ready and happy to help us with all our requests and needs. Thank you Will.

Always lovely, love the food, sushi is always consistent

Absolutely amazing place. I was speachless about level of food. Lander is the best bartender in the world. Team of Radana, Riho & Morgan is simply perfection. For sure I will be back here.

My favourite place I’ve been in London. It has some really great high quality sushi as well as kebabs that are grilled to perfection. I got 2 gyu beef kebabs (sticks) and a mushroom kebab. They tasted pretty good, nothing crazy but it was still good. The sushi was better, I got a crab sushi and a tempura sushi with fish on top. See pic for more deets. It was really good. For starters, we got the broccoli and the sauce for the broccoli is so incredible!!! I highly recommend the broccoli as a starter. Edamame was great too. The lemonade here is AMAZING! Sweet and sour, perfectly refreshing. Cocktails were good except one of them was straight up tequila and a bit much for us (the one with the lettuce leaf, which was also interesting). Expect higher prices, but somewhat worth it. Beautiful interior too. Didn’t expect them to clear my table as I was eating lol but it’s okay I guess. They also put us at the table at the veryyyyyy back even though there were so many empty tables before the back. Not sure why they did that and would’ve preferred not to be put in the back bc I wanted to see the decor bu

Phenomenal food and even better service. This place is a real must visit. We are a family of foodies and all agreed that we had the best experience ever!

I love the restaurant, flavours and service. I normally go (quite frequently) to your location in Westfield, White City, this time in Sloane Square it went perfect as always. Thank you for the memorable experience.

We ate lunch here today as a large family. The food now is below average. The mains were served almost cold, which we complained about. They removed them from the bill, which was agreeable however they tried to then charge Us 40 pounds for a cancellation fee as we had booked for 12 and we were 10 our bill was quite large so we were Offended eventually they took off the cancellation fee. It took some complaining and they responded with a poor attitude unfortunately I won’t be eating here again.

Khalid was an amazing waiter, serving us at our every need! Food was amazing, would highly recommend!

Alessandro was our waiter, he was incredibly helpful and attentive and the food was delicious!

Delicious food and amazing service by Alessandro!

New manager in (forgot the name-lovely lady with longish hair) and you can feel the difference in service and attention to detail too :) well impressed and highly recommended for families with kids too :)

Great display of sushi and quality. Reasonable value for location and useful areas for larger parties.

Amazing service, especially from Darrien he’s really helpful and enthusiastic about his job. Appreciate it 🫡

my daughter and I got food poisoning from dinner here. She called to tell them we both got sick. They told her it take 48 hours for symptoms of poison to kick in. Sorry they are wrong we got sick and they tried to deflect the issue. We will never go back to Sticks and Sushi and we recommend you don't either.

Wonderful place ! Alessandro was extremely kind and went over and beyond to make us feel welcomed and enjoy our first experience in the restaurant . Thank you !

Alessandro was our waiter for our first visit to Stick and Sushi and he was amazing - we honestly couldn’t fault him or his service. He was honest and personal with his recommendations which meant we could sample the best food on the menu, and we wouldn’t have had such an incredible experience without him. Thank you!

From the moment we sat down, Alessandro was attentive and helpful, guiding us through the menu with great expertise. He recommended dishes that turned out to be delicious, and he answered all our questions with patience and knowledge. Throughout the meal, Alessandro made sure we were well taken care of, always checking in at the right times without being intrusive.
