   The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. The male waiters were lovely and accommodating, but the female server who attended to us was abrupt and rude. One of our friends is pregnant, and we requested well-cooked food for her. When she brought it over, she commented, "This is the stuff you don’t like," which was not the case—our friend simply cannot eat raw food. I also tried to ask her for recommendations, but she cut me off and told me not to interrupt, even though I wasn’t. While the food and overall ambiance were great, her attitude dampened what could have been an otherwise pleasant experience.

   Was very excited to eat here. Impressed by the large space, the menu looked awesome with lots of photos. Spent around $150 on a platter of house rolls that looked lovely, but was honestly the most bland sushi we’ve ever had. Our other dishes were similar and the hibiscus margarita smelled like cough medicine.

   Outstanding family meal! We were kindly squeezed in when I made a mistake with our booking. The service was great, the kids meals are fantastic and we have a sharing suggestion which was amazing. It was a special occasion so worth the money and the food is really special.

   As always … a good blend of everything you want. Service was a bit slow today but other than that it’s still one of the best places to go.

   The menu says "Cocktails" and in an italic font next to it that's difficult to read it said "no alcohol". We couldn't see this in the dim lighting and so we ordered two drinks for 12 GBP each thinking it would have alcohol. Turns out they didn't and our server never checked with us to make sure we knew. We asked if they could add a shot of gin to each "cocktail without alcohol"—AKA what any place calls a "mocktail" to avoid any confusion—and instead of changing our drink to match the price of a cocktail with alcohol (which would have been 14 GBP) they charged us 10 GBP on top of our mocktails. Poor experience, poor service, servers should confirm with guests, it takes two seconds. "Just want to confirm you know these are without alcohol?" would have gone a long way. I've worked in hospitality for years, even as a server, and this is just common knowledge.

   Our first time visiting Sticks’n’Sushi during a weekend away and we thoroughly enjoyed. Just a shame there isn’t a restaurant closer to our home.

   Located a stone throw away from the Piazza in Covent Garden. The restaurants over two floors with the ground level for Henrietta Street being quite large seating with high volume noise we were a party of three, initially they attempted to seated us in a odd table which looked like a Benz sign with the ends of the table seating three with two other parties on the other two ends, which we declined due to it being a work event and being able to converse; subsequently was moved to a table for four, which was much more appropriate. The wine selection had significant markup and therefore the quality of wine was pretty much average. Service was rather had a mess because of the busyness of the restaurant which and which was surprising for Tuesday night the food was however good we ordered a platter for three was called set for success: Broccoli. Grilled in supreme soy, served with spicy goma:good Ebi Bites. Tempura shrimp, miso aïoli, chilli, lime & coriande: good Shake Tataki. Salmon, sake-tamari marinated trout roe, daikon, miso, ponzu & daikon cress : average Beef Tataki. Beef fillet with miso aïoli, spring onion, artichoke chips, shiitake & truffle ponzu: good Ebi Panko. Tempura shrimp & spicy sauce, topped with avocado: good Hell's Kitchen. Tempura shrimp, avocado & spicy sauce, topped with tuna & barbecue: good Pink Alaska. Salmon, avocado, cream cheese & lumpfish roe : average Nanban. Chicken, avocado, kataifi, coriander & spicy yuzu-kosho : average Aka Ebi. Argentinian red shrimp, spicy gochujang & garlic butter Tsukune Chilli. Chicken meatballs, chilli dip, teriyaki & spring onions; good Ibericoe Secreto. Miso cured black Iberian pork with lemon: excellent So a rather mixed selection of mostly being above average but really one dish being excellent. I would recommend booking due to the business of the place however I do feel that it’s probably not the best suited place for conversations due to the substantial background noise.
