Best Japanese Restaurants in Highgate

Excellent service catered to our needs food was lovely

Visited the branch on Valentine's day with my wife. It was very busy but the organisation of the staff was levels above. They handled the busy period with class. We had a booking for 10pm and was greeted by a member of the front of house staff. We were both handed drinks menus and offered seating while we waited for our table. Within a few mins the front of house staff placed us in a beautiful cosy part of the restaurant. It was my first time in Sticks N Sushi and so far the experience was so calming. The décor, created such a relaxing atmosphere and table and seating were so comfortable. We ordered the special Valentine's Koibito "the person you love" Menu, as it was our first time. It gave us the opportunity to try a variety of dishes at once. A very friendly and knowledge member of staff with short dreadlocked hair, helped explain all the dishes we would get, matching the description's to the photo. (a classy thought). The ENTIRE menu was so delicious, but the stand out dishes were: Starters LOBSTER & IKURA UDON Lobster bisque with lobster, ikura and udon noodles GRILLED EDAMAME Supreme soy & soya sesame KANI KOROKKE Crab croquettes with wasabi Caesar ------------------------------------------------------------- Maki SOFT SHELL Soft shell crab with masago & spicy sauce ------------------------------------------------------------- Desserts MATCHA Dark chocolate fondant with matcha core, vanilla ice cream & matcha cookie crumble ------------------------------------------------------------- A recommended place for an intimate meal with your loved one, especially if you love Sushi. The staff and decor really make this place, along with the food of course!

Booked for a surprise date night, the food, setting, atmosphere and service did not disappoint. We opted for the 13 course taster menu and the waiter helped us to test and pair a bottle of Sake. We were amazed with every dish that came out and wondered how each could maintain the high level consistency. We never felt rushed and had a great chat with our waiter who was very knowledgeable on the dishes and ingredients. Absolutely highly recommend and certainly worth the value. You definitely get what you pay for here. Will definitely visit again soon. Thank you for your service and wonderful experience.

Finally we’ve found a great little sushi spot near our hotel (Marriott Regent’s Park). Welcomed warmly and the three of us decided to sit at the bar. Everything tasted great and was reasonably priced for London.

Great service and delicious food. Sushi especially was really good value. Really child friendly my daughter enjoyed her food.
