Sticks’n’sushi Victoria

Jump straight from the ocean and into me belly! What a delicious meal and a class restaurant (they have a coat check, always bonus points especially for chunky umbrellas). The service was honest, funny, and friendly and the atmosphere provided dim lighting to hide the bags under my eyes from a long work week. A great treat spot for a birthday, friend dinner, or sneaky link.

Both the food and the service were absolutely outstanding. Celebrated a birthday meal with family and recommend ordering many different starters to share, as they were so very good. Particularly the crab and shrimp options. Even the desserts were absolutely excellent - small but full of flavour and intensity. Quite unexpected and would try more next time, as desserts can be tricky for Japanese restaurants outside Japan and we normally go for liqueurs instead to finish off the meal, but these were incredible. The lemon sake (yuzu I think?) to finish was also sublime and a great recommendation from our fabulous Brazilian waiter.

Yesterday I celebrated my girlfriend's birthday and we are enchanted by the place. The food was very good quality plus affordable. Our waiter, thanks to his recommendations and the charming way he surprised us with the birthday dessert, took our experience to the next level. If I remember his name correctly, it's Christoper (Chris). Thank you for a great experience, we will definitely come back soon!

My friend and I shared the Perfect Day platter. Everything was incredible and it was very generous. The platter was about £80 but that felt like really good value because there was so much food and it was all delicious. You can spend less than that on the individual portions. The wine started at about £30 a bottle. The staff were lovely.

As always, Sticks’n’Sushi in Victoria does not disappoint! I always come to have lunch any time that I am around Victoria Station. The service it’s fantastic, and the food fresh and yummy! The only thing I miss it’s their old Vinho Verde. The new one is a little bit too dry for my taste, but otherwise the experience it’s amazing.

The food is excellent, albeit pricey (£180 for four - 2 adults, 2 kids and no alcohol!) but the service is lacking. We had a really surly waitress towards the end which had a real impact on our enjoyment of the afternoon. Sushi was excellent, the crab croquettes incredible and the sticks (beef, pork with yuzu, duck meatballs with egg yolk and soy and scallops wrapped in bacon) was delicious. It’s a varied menu with something for everybody and it’s pretty quick if, like us, you are heading to the theatre afterwards. We’ve been before and we’d go again but it’s expensive for somewhere that the service doesn’t necessarily match the prices and I resent being charged for a carafe of what is essentially tap water when hit with a bill of £180!

Okay.. where do I even start here. Everything about this place was 5 start. We are vegetarian and got the ‘green keeper ‘ mix and it was perfect. We were easily able to substitute the seaweed salad with the cauliflower with truffle sauce and it was a great call on our end cause this cauliflower is a unique experience. We got luckily with having Fabio as our server and he was amazing. Very patient and talked us through the veggie options. My fav part of the night, the tapas style dessert we were able to pick from! We got match brownie, pearl choco fudge, Caramel ice cream, and crème brûlée … we were in freakin heaven!! Thank you for making our last dinner for this trip to London an absolute perfection!!
