Sticks’n’Sushi – Berlin Mitte

Sticks’n’Sushi: When Copenhagen cooks Japanese

Rooted in Denmark since 1994, the concept finally brought its Nordic-Japanese approach to Berlin. The first Berlin location opened on Potsdamer Straße, in the former Tagesspiegel building. What distinguishes this Asian restaurant from other sushi establishments in Berlin: It combines sushi from imperial Japanese cuisine with yakitori skewers from Japanese street food. Also on offer are sashimi, nigiri, maki, and creative house rolls – including grilled Miso Black Cod, yellowfin tuna, and lobster with sushi rice, avocado, and sake tamari trout roe. The menu is diverse and also caters to vegetarians* and those who don’t like raw fish. At lunchtime, there are also four new lunch menus available until 15:00.

Architecture, Atmosphere, and Japanese Craftsmanship

Those looking for an Asian restaurant in Berlin that also impresses visually will find it here. Interior designer Terese Erngaard wanted to emphasize the almost sacred atmosphere of the space – with handcrafted chandeliers, a sculptural spiral staircase, and a flowing, helical curtain. Head Chef Song Lee, formerly active at Berlin’s DAE MON, is convinced: Sticks’n’Sushi stands for high Japanese craftsmanship, good product quality, and creative fidelity to Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is centrally located on Potsdamer Straße near Potsdamer Platz and is easily accessible by S-Bahn and U-Bahn. So, if you’re looking for one of Berlin’s best Asian restaurants, you should reserve a table here – preferably in advance.
