    Terrible greeting, left standing at door! We were told we hadnt ordered enough food-how do they know how hungry customers are?! Wrong dishes brought to table. No Tempura available but we were sold prawn ebi as a substitute-could not be further from Tempura and as it arrived suspiciously quickly was likely pre-prepared which hardened the batter sunstantially. Dish also had missing prawn tails on some prawns-sloppy presentation. After the meal was finished the waiter leaned right across the table to reach something from the adjacent shelf instead of walking around the table to access the item. The nigiri was excellent and the sticks varied and tasty but the meal was let down by the staff not being trained thoroughly and properly. Maybe turn the music down a little as the surfaces in the restaurant are all hard and reflect sound and leave some space between the tables as they are way too close together. All of this is easily solvable but it needs to be solved quickly.

    Have been a regular at Sticks for the past two years trying different branches. Food is amazing as usual but the service here could’ve been better. It was painfully difficult to get the attention of any member of staff even though I came well before closing. Many walking past my table avoiding eye contact. But there was one food runner who was very attentive in the end. This is typically the case when dining alone, hope this will be better.

    Food is good if a little formulaic. We had to wait 20 minutes for a drink, being ignored. We asked for a substitution on set menu and whilst confirmed they brought food we didn’t eat. The waiters ignored us and a waiter at next section gestured at us that there was no way he was dealing with this - extremely rude and disrespectful. I complained and they reduced the bill. But really. Wait till they sort the service out.
