Best Japanese Restaurants in Dalston

10/10 incredible food was too good everything was so tasty love this place can’t wait to go back. Even the drinks were brilliant, the views, vibe and service all were brilliant. Must visit

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!

Great food and fantastic service. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful, recommending various dishes and drinks that were all delicious.

Absolutely exceptional flavors on all dishes seafood and raw, sampled the Valentines menu and was pleased with the freshness of ingredients, intensity and pairings of flavor, and medium portion sizes given the higher end nature of the ingredients. Servers were pleasant, ambiance was gently lit and spacious, and a big shout out to the lobster-with-ikura bisque, the wagyu tartare, the exceptionally green-tangy-tasting hamachi, and the miso black cod maki that was the best bite of the night.

Love this restaurant ... and the new menu! Lovely calm atmosphere, great service and helpful staff. Food is absolutely delicous and love the cocktails. We'll be back soon.
