    This was the first time my partner and I had visited. I would highly recommend Sticks’n’Sushi to anyone as the food was a 10/10, staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance was perfect.

    I am a regular at Pho but I was particularly impressed with the staff yesterday (21/06/25). I took a friend who came for the first time and she was worried if the curry that she wanted to order would be too spicy. The staff (lady) was very understanding and gave my friend some curry (in a small bowl) for her to taste first. What an extraordinary service! (I didn’t get the lady’s name). The other staff (male) explaining the gluten free option was also brilliant! Thank you.
