Sticks'n'Sushi
Our verdict
Sticks'n'Sushi at Battersea Power Station sits at the intersection of Japanese robata tradition and Scandinavian practicality, a format the Danish-Japanese chain has refined since its Copenhagen origins in 1994. The Electric Boulevard address places it inside one of London's most ambitious regeneration projects, where the dining offer skews casual-premium rather than formal. A reliable option for groups navigating a mixed-appetite table in south-west London.

What to order
- Bling Bling roll
- Black cod dragon roll
- Soft shell crab rice paper rolls
- Yakitori skewers
The robata skewer element is worth noting as a point of differentiation. At Sticks'n'Sushi, the skewers are menu items in their own right, ordered à la carte and designed for sharing, which makes the format well-suited to groups with divergent preferences. This contrasts with destinations like Waterside Inn in Bray, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxford, L'Enclume in Cartmel, Moor Hall in Aughton, Gidleigh Park in Chagford, Hand and Flowers in Marlow, hide and fox in Saltwood, Midsummer House in Cambridge, Opheem in Birmingham, and Restaurant Andrew Fairlie in Auchterarder. If you are also travelling internationally, the format-conscious Japanese approach at Sticks'n'Sushi has an interesting counterpoint in the more rigorous Korean tasting menus at Atomix in New York City, or the seafood precision of Le Bernardin.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Sticks'n'Sushi in London?
Sticks'n'Sushi is located at Station, 6 Electric Boulevard Battersea Power, London SW11 8AL, United Kingdom, London.
How does Sticks'n'Sushi's Danish-Japanese concept differ from other Japanese restaurants in London?
Sticks'n'Sushi was founded in Copenhagen in 1994 by a family with roots across both Japan and Denmark, and that dual cultural origin shapes the menu's structure in a way that differs from venues operating within a single Japanese regional tradition. Rather than positioning itself as an omakase counter or a kaiseki room, the format sits deliberately in a casual-premium register that pairs robata grilling with accessible sushi. In London's Japanese dining market, that mid-market slot with a Scandinavian-inflected origin story is a distinct position.
What do regulars order at Sticks'n'Sushi?
Returning diners at the Battersea Power Station site tend to anchor on one of the two core formats: the robata skewers or the sushi selection. The robata side is the more distinctive element, drawing on a Japanese grilling tradition that is less common in London's mid-market Japanese offer. Those familiar with the format often work across both menus in a single sitting rather than committing to one.
Do I need a reservation for Sticks'n'Sushi?
At the Electric Boulevard address in Battersea Power Station, weekend evenings coincide with peak retail footfall across the development, making a reservation a practical precaution. Weekday lunches and early weekday evenings are more accessible for walk-ins. Booking ahead is the more reliable approach if your timing is fixed.
What's the signature at Sticks'n'Sushi?
The robata skewers are the element that most clearly separates Sticks'n'Sushi from London's other mid-market Japanese restaurants. Robata is a Japanese charcoal-grilling method traditionally associated with Hokkaido fishing communities, and it remains a less common format in the city outside specialist venues. The dual sushi-and-skewer structure, developed by the Copenhagen-founded Vittrup family since 1994, is the chain's defining format.
Is Sticks'n'Sushi good for vegetarians?
Both the sushi and robata sides of the menu accommodate plant-based options without requiring significant workarounds. The dual structure means vegetarians are not limited to a small supplementary section but have meaningful choices across the core format. The Battersea Power Station site on Electric Boulevard operates the same menu framework as other London locations.
