What an interesting night. The fire alarm going off, being evaluated, then being let back in, when all clear. But everyone at the restaurant did a great job. Well done The LONDONER HOTEL. This did not distract from a fabulous meal. And we will be coming back to dine with you in the new year. Five Stars.

The best meal we ever had. The service was excellent. The quality, quantity and values were exceptional. My kids said it was the best meal they have ever had and already requested to come back soon. We had few starter plates and few sticks and tried the salmon and duck buns. Not to mention the amazing s’mores dessert which was the cherry on top of the cake as my daughter described

Went to Sticks n sushi for our team xmas meal and it did not disappoint. Delicious food with an impressive choice, beautifully presented. Attentive service. Yummy cocktails. Only 1 teeny inprovement suggestion....It would help if waiting staff said what each item on a mixed tray was more slowly as it was difficult to hear with both the speed and background noise.
