Sticks’ N’ Sushi to open new site in Richmond
The restaurant’s design also incorporates nods to its location, while the interior takes inspiration from Richmond’s ‘tight-knit and lively community’
Sticks’n’Sushi is set to open the doors of its newest UK restaurant in Richmond, London on 5 May.
The new site will offer its unique combination of sushi and yakitori-sticks. Its menu will also cater to all tastes including plant-based options such as the Kinoko Katzu, Eringi, Green Gate and the Kyoto Non Stop, as well as the selection of desserts.
The Kampai menu includes signature house cocktails, wine, beer, spirits and sake. As with all Sticks’n’Sushi restaurants, Richmond will embody the traditional Japanese concept of Omotenashi, which is to “wholeheartedly look after each and every guest”.
Sticks’n’Sushi Richmond has been designed by Berlin-based architects Diener and Diener and features a blend of Japanese “minimalism” and Scandinavian “elegance”. The restaurant’s design also incorporates nods to its location, while the interior takes inspiration from Richmond’s “tight-knit and lively community”.
It includes muted colours, with clay greys and rusty reds dividing the restaurant in two horizontal halves.
Located on the corner of George Street and King Street, the site was formally built as a Dickins and Jones department store in 1968, and more recently housed the retailer House of Fraser until 2020, which ended a long chapter in Richmond’s retail history.
Originating in Copenhagen, Sticks’n’Sushi is one of Denmark’s longest-established restaurant groups. Founded by half-Danish, half-Japanese brothers Jens and Kim Rahbek and Thor Andersen, today, the group consists of 27 restaurants across Copenhagen, Berlin and the UK.
Andreas Karlsson, Sticks’n’Sushi Group CEO, said: “We’re so excited to bring our newest restaurant to Richmond, building our presence in South-West London and welcoming a new team to the Sticks’n’Sushi family. We have long admired this historic town, since our first restaurant in Wimbledon in 2012, we are delighted to open in such an iconic building. Sticks’n’Sushi Richmond will offer the perfect spot for locals and visitors to the area as well as gatherings big and small.”
