ATIKA London

A Copenhagen import that has found a comfortable home on King’s Road, Sticks’n’Sushi Chelsea strikes a balance between sleek Scandinavian design and Japanese culinary tradition. The name says it all: sushi prepared with crisp precision, and skewers from the robata grill that bring warmth and heartiness. The menu is expansive, ranging from delicate nigiri and maki to indulgent meat and vegetable skewers — perfect for groups who want to share and mix. Interiors are pared-back and modern, with just enough atmosphere to keep it from feeling sterile, and service is brisk but friendly. While it lacks the intimacy of Chelsea’s smaller counters, it makes up for it with consistency, accessibility, and a menu broad enough to suit adventurous diners and those new to Japanese food alike.
