Sticks 'n' Sushi

Sticks 'n' Sushi Greenwich is a solid pick if you're craving quality sushi in the heart of the historic district. The space itself is worth noting—two distinct vibes under one roof. The front bar area feels intimate and communal with dark wood and low lighting, while the back room opens up with white walls and a skylight that floods the space with natural light during the day. If you're coming for lunch, snag a table in the back; for dinner, the front bar sets a moodier tone.

The menu is where this place really shines. Unlike many chain sushi spots that play it safe, Sticks 'n' Sushi isn't afraid to experiment. The Hell's Kitchen Roll—tempura prawns, avocado, wrapped in tuna—is a standout, as is the Marinated Black Cod Sushi, which is buttery, rich, and melts in your mouth. Don't skip the ebi bites with miso aioli for a starter; they're crispy, flavorful, and addictive. The sushi rice is well-seasoned and fresh, which is often a weak point in non-Japanese-run spots, so that's a plus.

Service is friendly and knowledgeable—the staff will happily guide you through the menu if you're unsure. It's not quite at the level of a high-end omakase, but for a reliable, fun, and well-executed sushi experience in Greenwich, this is one of the better options around.
