Sticks'N'Sushi Covent Garden in City of London, Westminster

Me and my boyfriend Jack always visit and absolutely love this place. Would highly recommend it.

Delicious food and great service

All good, but crazy overpriced.

Had a set menu (forgot what the set was) but was quite expensive. And the food was not memorable nor special considering the price. The only menu I was satisfied with was the tataki, and the rest did not have a huge difference compared to any other take away sushi restaurants. Also their specialty grill skewers were a bit cold when we had it and this also was not impressive. The atmosphere was alright, but not ideal for a date. I would look for a quieter romantic place. I paid around £150 for this whole meal and would be looking for a better place to spend +£100 next time.

Really good Japanese restaurant. Excellent food, friendly staff, nice environment with relaxing light.

Absolutely loved my experience at Sticks. I've been to the canary wharf one before, and this was my first time trying this one. Service was outstanding, what was a closed out area (the front garden) was opened up for myself and friend for us to be able to bask in the sun. It was glorious. I didn't get his name, but he was the young light skinned man, who went above and beyond in us having a great experience. Food was top tier as per, so tasty and nourishing. I like that you can pick how many sticks you want, and the variety. I had a few sticks the teriyaki chicken balls and the sweet potato teriyaki. Cooked to perfection and so well presented. My friend opted for the prawn and shrimp salad. My uni friend and I had a fab time.

Simon was so attentive and his service was excellent.

We’ve visited this restaurant several times in the past and really enjoyed it, but our most recent visit was very disappointing. The children’s meals were poor quality—some parts were cold, as if they'd been reheated in a microwave—and the glasses for drinks were taller than the children themselves. Cleanliness was also a concern: the toilets had a strong smell, and the floors were dirty. Worst of all, we found a curly hair (yes, like a pubic hair) on the hand towel we were given at the start of the meal. A thoroughly unpleasant experience. It’s a real shame to see a place with such potential going downhill.

Incredible food... Couldn't recommend enough. The place was clean and modern and the service was very good. Quite pricey but worth it if want something a little special for your pallet.

Contemporary style sushi restaurant, which is part of a restaurant chain originally established in Denmark. Busy restaurant in Covent Garden,serving an extensive Japanese menu with tasty and innovative dishes. Highly recommend the lobster & Ikura temaki, beef tataki and the iberico secreto pork skewers. Yellow fin tuna and salmon sashimi were mouthwatering. The waiting staff were helpful and considerate. In particular, regarding my Daughter’s nut allergy, and made sure that we knew which dishes she should avoid, if any.

Alex is an asset to your company, she provided us amazing advice and knowledge on the dishes. I brought my partner who isn’t a sushi fan but after her words of wisdom…he was converted!! Honestly so grateful to have had her as our server and hope to be served by her again when we return. Give her a promotion!!!

This was shown as dog friendly, it is but only to the outside seats - which I respect but they could have made that clearer as it wasn’t nice weather when we visited. Seating aside, great service and the food is always a firm favourite. We visited for a birthday and they even brought out a complimentary desert, which was Devine!

Excellent atmosphere, experience and food! We loved the crab croquettes and the sushi was also excellent. Very reasonably priced for the quality.

Great restaurant Fantastic Fantastic food Good value for money Downstairs you can watch the chefs cooking Central covent garden

I'll be back for the tuna tartare alone 🤤

Love all sticks n’ sushi BUT the Covent Garden one wins the trophy. Alex is the best waitress. And it was genuinely such a lovely effortless pleasant vibe. Obviously, the food is top notch but it’s really the ambiance and the people that make it special.

We recently returned to Sticks’n’Sushi after receiving a kind email inviting us back for a better experience, as our last visit hadn’t been great. The email promised a lovely evening with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a bottle of wine, and we were looking forward to it. When we arrived, the staff acknowledged the email and reassured us they would honour it. The food was very good and the service started off well. However, when it came time to settle the bill, things became uncomfortable. We were told we needed to pay for everything, despite the prior arrangement. It felt as though we were suddenly being questioned, and it became an awkward and frankly embarrassing situation, especially as it was the restaurant that invited us. After some back and forth, and having already given generous tips to the staff, they eventually honoured the original offer and only charged us for the drinks we had said we’d pay for. While we appreciate that it was resolved in the end, it shouldn’t have required us to explain and defend ourselves so extensively. It cast a shadow over what was meant to be a goodwill gesture. We hope they’ll work on internal communication so other guests aren’t made to feel this way again.

Is brilliant work and a good services.

I have been to several sticks and sushi and many times and it still always hits the spot. The standard of their sushi is perfect in my eyes. It tastes fresh and presented amazingly and I never can get quite enough. The downside is very much the price but I think it’s worth it personally. We also tried their special menu this time and it was really tasty. Loved the lobster one, soft shell crab hmmm love it! Definitely will be back but probably as a treat or I’ll be broke!

Excellent Sushi, excellent value for money considering the location, attentive service and variety on the menu, recommended!

Delicate and fragrant cuisine Real culinary journey Refined combinations, gourmet Japanese cuisine as you rarely taste it I recommend without hesitation, a superb address for a special occasion!

We had the best sushi and more we have ever had. 🥰 Top quality. The selection is gigantic and even though I find pictures in menu cards really bad; Here the map is well done and makes the selection easier. We only had one tiny criticism. A meal came cold but was immediately re-served. So everything is good. We'll be back. 😎👍 You should definitely reserve in advance.

This was my second visit, and I love all the food. As a Japanese person, I understand that it’s not authentic Japanese cuisine — it’s more like a British-Japanese fusion, so I can overlook the quirky food names. There were a few funny and unusual service moments that we wouldn’t see in Japan, like picking up the wet towel (oshibori) with chopsticks and taking it away immediately, serving the miso soup bowl on top of the fish plate, and shaping the rice in a perfectly round mound — which, to us, looks like an offering for a grave or altar. The floor manager kindly suggested I sit at the bar counter for a “quiet space,” but the staff there were chatting loudly and even swearing, which kind of ruined the cozy bar atmosphere. The miso soup was way too salty — just like last time. Also, the way some of the staff say “Irasshaimase” made me giggle. It’s cute — some say it completely wrong, but that’s kind of charming too.

While the food was, as always, excellent and consistent, the service unfortunately did not match up. The staff member who took my order—possibly a trainee—seemed unsure about the drink I requested and ended up bringing an alternative that didn’t work. One of the team members in a blue shirt, who I assume was a floor leader, ignored my attempts to get their attention multiple times. There was another server who was slightly more attentive and welcoming, though still not at the level you’d expect. I understand the restaurant was busy, but that’s part of working in the food service industry—handling pressure while maintaining good service. That said, I do want to highlight the girl who served us towards the end of our visit. She was genuinely helpful and welcoming, which stood out compared to the rest of the team. Overall, while the food was on point as always, the service left a lot to be desired—especially disappointing as I had guests with me at the time.

We went to Sticks’n’Sushi for a birthday lunch. We’ve been fans of the restaurant and have visited before, but this was our first time sitting outside — unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The customer service was surprisingly poor. Our waiter seemed irritated for no apparent reason. The table we were seated at was unstable, and as a result, my glass of Coke tipped over, shattered, and spilled all over me. When the waiter came over, rather than being helpful, he seemed annoyed and didn’t offer a replacement. I had to ask twice just to get another drink. Later, I ordered dessert but it took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. Overall, while the food was good as always, the service was seriously lacking and made what should have been a special birthday lunch quite disappointing.

Seated, served and presented to the highest quality. Wonderful food. We all had one of the bowls towards the end of the menu - I recommend.

I ordered sushi through Deliveroo but wasn’t able to specify my allergy to avocado in the order. I tried calling the restaurant directly to let them know—after ten attempts, no one answered. I then contacted their head office, but the staff there said they couldn’t reach the branch either and advised me to just keep trying the same number. In the end, my call never got through, and the sushi arrived covered in avocado. Very disappointing and potentially dangerous for anyone with allergies.

The food was amazing and the service was lovely (only minus was that I didn't feel particularly welcome being a solo diner). I went for the mini maki maki and especially loved the ceviche maki - go for that one if you only want one!

Highly recommended. We ordered shortly before the order deadline and the food was still A1!

Food is incredible. I will definately be returning. Daniel looked after us & gave us recommendations that we loved and enjoyed. He made our birthday experience all the more special. !!

Alex is a Star! Genuine, sweet and customer oriented,she was so lovely the whole group was surprised of how she made our lunch so pleasant! Her service was the main reason I left the restaurant with desire of coming back!

Amazing food and services by Alex. She’s been a star professional , cute I’ll be definitely back

Lucky to get a table without a reservation, and Daniel our waiter was brilliant.

Great place but asked for a pre-theatre quick bite. Not too much as a sharing platter between the 2 of us. £ 101 including 12.50% service charge. Bloody ridiculous.

It's nice and atmospheric, I recommend it

Fantastic flavours! Quick and friendly service.

Some dishes were enjoyable, while others were unfortunately inedible.

I have visited Sticks 'n' Sushi many times over the years and mostly at their Covent Garden address. This restaurant has been incredibly consistent with it's amazing food and excellent service! I highly recommend a visit, everything from the tasty starters (Kani Korokke is great), to the Sushi, the sticks (Hotate Bacon is my favorite) and the desert has always been of a very high quality. I'm looking forward to my next visit as I type this!

Waiting and staff just ignores driver experience

They dont accept dogs anymore! Canary wharf branch is much better!

A wonderful place, professional and welcoming staff, it's my first time but certainly not the last, keep it up, I highly recommend

They were very accommodating given that we literally arrived 45mins before their kitchen was closing. From the limited food we ordered, everything was amazing. The kid enjoyed her meal and the portion was great for two adults. Next time we are in town, I’d definitely return to try the rest in their menu.

Second time to this chain and second London location. V v good and I enjoyed it again for sure. I don't even like mushrooms and I order the starter again. Yum

The dishes are really excellent

Delicious food, really good service and great with allergies; I went with a group with some unusual allergies, waitstaff knew most ingredients and checked with the chefs, everything is done on site (seeing the chefs at work downstairs was very cool) and were able to accommodate everyone.

La comida era, como siempre, excepcional. Dicho esto, el servicio no lo era. La sucursal del Soho (y la sucursal de Oxford para el caso) son fantásticos tanto en comida como en servicio. Sin embargo, esta rama realmente decepcionó esta vez. Pasamos media hora tratando de llamar la atención de alguien -cualquiera- para que nos entregara la factura, lo que fue particularmente molesto dado que estábamos sentados justo al lado de las computadoras donde se congrega el personal. El personal entraba y salía sin ninguna atención hacia nosotros, incluso literalmente barriendo el piso a nuestro lado sin ver que estábamos esperando. Eventualmente, un camarero que manejaba una sección diferente estaba caminando junto a nuestra mesa por primera vez y registró que necesitábamos algo - supongo que ellos eran el gerente. Es realmente decepcionante que tan buena comida haya sido decepcionada por tan mala espera - es un problema fácil de solucionar (como lo demostró el miembro del personal que nos atendió). No estoy muy seguro de cómo los restaurantes no se aseguran de que su personal de espera esté atento y mire hacia arriba en lugar de cotillear junto a los clientes. No volveré a esta sucursal, pero seguiré visitando los sitios del Soho y Oxford.

¡OMG! ¿Por dónde empiezo? Ok, primeras impresiones... el servicio desde el momento en que cruzamos las puertas hasta el momento en que salimos y todo lo demás fue excepcional. Los servidores eran amables, considerados y proporcionaban grandes recomendaciones. La comida... ooo la comida... deliciosa no lo describe completamente. La calidad era de primera clase y la variedad era amplia. El consejo del servidor de no terminar - orden fue un punto impresionante porque los dos conjuntos que pedimos era más que suficiente para 7 personas. Así que lección aprendida ... escuchar a los servidores. Trabajan allí... conocen sus cosas. Seguramente volvería allí de nuevo.

Really great japanese fusion dinner -the vegetarian menu much more interesting with lots choice. Good service and reasonably priced . Modern trendy ambience - and busy so recommend booking .

A little bit pricey and not really good service! Tuna tartare in the set appetizer is tasteless, sushi is normal, nothing special with this price. Btw, the dessert is highly recommended.

We had some very tasty sushi and skewers. It was a bit noisy for my preference, but overall a good experience.

the food was excellent and the service remained outstanding despite the store being extremely busy. the staff were attentive and ensured our dietary requirements were met

Went here for sons birthday amazing place food and drinks made fresh love the veg options too would recommend

Been here a few times now. Food and service is great! Highly recommend.

This is our fav place ever! The service is amazing Food is from another world! It was my boyfriends birthday and they even gave him an small cake and candle 🤩

We just came in because we wanted sushi. We didn’t reserve a table in advance, we waited only 5 minutes and they found a seat for us. A very large hall. Two floors. There are many tables. Large selection of food and drinks. Everything looked very interesting and tasty (menu with photos)))). Very good, friendly service. Everything was very tasty!

Food was amazing🩷 Service is SO GOOD

This was a great way to have a meal. Great fun, cooked in front of you with flair and fun. Chef was very entertaining. Food was good quality and very tasty.

Bonito entorno con buena comida. Servicio muy internacional e interesado en nuestras necesidades. Platos demasiado grandes para el tamaño de las mesas.

On a busy afternoon this place was the only one that looked pretty empty so I decided to try. One of the waitresses walked me in and tried to offer me a table but the manager told her to bring me elsewhere because I was alone. I was brought to a super low small awkward table right in front of the stairs. As I was exhausted and starving, I thought all tables and bar areas were reserved so I stuck to the spot. I ordered a platter and set, the food was cold and not tasty, the seat was extremely uncomfortable as well. Super disappointed, worst place to get sushi etc, discriminates solo diners. This just accentuates solo diners struggles, either being refused or taken to a super odd table.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take me back this place is the spot!!!!! Enjoyed myself so much forgot to take food pics

Lovely kind wait staff and the food was delicious! Made my valentines day!

Food was very nice. Good atmosphere, clean restaurant. If you're a sushi lover it's deffo worth visiting.

The host was unnecessarily rude!

We ate very well, everything was very fresh, impeccable service. Warm atmosphere I recommend!!

Fantástico sitio si si eres fan del sushi. Pedimos un variando de dos combos y unas brochetas. Todo súper rico. De precio unos 50€/ por persona , pero en Londres para los españoles todo es caro. Calidad precio muy bien. Complemento perfecto a un barrio precioso.

We went here for a pre theatre dinner. Food was quick, beautifully presented and delicious. We ordered a few new non sushi dishes too, and ended up ordering a second plate of karaage chicken as it was so good!

Excellent food at Covent garden site

top - great experience at all levels

One of the best sushi I’ve tried so far in London on Deliveroo. Fresh & amazing food!

Amazing place, Amazing Food experience and Amazing Service.

Like every time 10/10! A must for sushi lovers. Food top, service top. We'll be back!

The sushi was great. The service was lacking. We waited over 15 minutes before we could order drinks. When we wanted to order additional rolls no server would come to the table. The food and presentation was good, but the service and experience wasn’t worth it.

The food was fantastic, as always, but Wendy truly stood out as an incredible host. She was warm, attentive, and made sure everyone at our table—both vegetarians and non-vegetarians—was well taken care of. Thank you, Wendy! I truly appreciate you.

The food was delicious, the service was amazing and very fast, and we had an amazing time. The only thing was the tables are quite close together and the men at the table next to us kept looking over and listening to our conversation... And we heard them talking too...

The food 10/10. The cocktails are delicious, and the waiters are very attentive. It is expensive but worth it for the quality. The only bad thing is that there is very little light, they should put more light because you can hardly read the letter. Otherwise great.

Everything to recommend. The staff, the sushi, the ambiance...thank you...

A lot of people, but a super good place for Sushi.

Very good food, incredible attention from the workers. I will definitely repeat if I return to London.

The sushi is nice. A bit pricey for the quality of sushi you actually get but it's still a nice place to visit.

Ayman was very friendly and gave great service and always smiling! Loved it! The food was exeptional and very fast service! Great way to spend a friends birthday. Thanks so much to Ayman he made it amazing experience.

Sticks and sushi Covent Garden. Although the word chain has negative connotations as it can convey the potential lack of quality, personal service and - continuous cost cutting…. This venue did not present one thing to suggest - chain. We ate at the bar next to the pass as every table was covered - mobbed. The energy and business from the kitchen whilst remaining composed was very insightful. A we’ll oiled machine comes to mind. Can’t wait to return, too many flavours and dishes to go into each plate however a solid dining experience.

Came here for an early dinner and had the most delicious meal. We opted for a range of the small plates and all were very yummy and tasted fresh. Food was quick without feeling rushed.

Sushi and mediocre food. Variety of drinks and great service.

The best sushi restaurant in London. Fantastic

What excellent sushi and other dishes. Add to that the good service and you have a winning combination. Highly recommended!

The food is excellent, the sticks aspect can feel a bit gimmicky but I've always really enjoyed everything I've eaten, and there's a great selection of cocktails as well

My first time trying sushi n sticks (and sushi in general 😅) was at the Canary Wharf branch. Loved it so much that I then dragged my husband to the Covent Garden branch the following week and he loved it too! Absolute must try apart from the sushi itself are: Crab croquettes and everything on the stick if possible!!

We're not very experienced when it comes to ordering sushi but the waitress was very helpful and guided us through the 'catalogue' of options. And she was bang on! Every dish presented beautifully; a sight to behold and a safari of flavours on the palette. There was a nice friendly atmosphere between staff and customers and we felt very relaxed and comfortable-the wine probably helped.

The sushi is great but the it's a bit dark the atmosphere.

Delicious food - my favourite sushi chain restaurant. However, this branch feels quite crammed in comparison to the Soho and Canary Wharf branches,and the dim lighting in the evening can feel especially disorienting in conjunction with the cacophony of chatter.

Brilliant food, amazing taste. I am not a big sushi fan but was blown away by the taste. The sticks with various grilled meats were also delicious. Highly recommend the wagyu, prawn and crab croquette.

Absolutely the finest sushi I've ever had. While it's certainly not inexpensive, it's worth every penny. The artistry is simply breathtaking. My mother-in-law was in raptures

Excellent food, and good service. Had the sharing board and a few starters with a few bottles of wine, was lovely, would return.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. But they made us wait 10 minutes even though we had a reservation time

For all those who love Japanese cuisine

Very creative menu, delicious food options. Kids menu.

Very nice discovery for the 4 of us (adults and children) lots of choice of products and above all excellent we had a great time. On the advice of a very nice waiter we tried the crab croquettes!!! A killing!!! The staff is also very friendly. We left delighted, thank you very much

Sergio and Daniel was amazing!! They took care of us regardless of it being a busy period. The food and the service and everything was a 10/10 Thank you for the whole team and staff for taking care of us during NYE!

We ate at Sticks'n'Sushi on New Year's Eve. The sushi was excellent and the vegetarian dishes also tasted great! Clear recommendation!

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Our waiter Daniel and the manager Sergio were amazing, never felt so looked after. They were attentive and friendly. 10/5 will try again and bring everyone here.
