Food - Sticks 'n' Sushi - Covent Garden London

Sushi is fish in haute couture

Hi Mad Family!

Who doesn't love some delicious sushi? I know I do! While browsing the internet for a sushi restaurant in central London back 2014, I came across Sticks 'n Sushi at Covent Garden! The look of their website is very sleek and hipster, even a little mysterious. Without even looking through the menu, which is provided on their official website, we booked a table every year when we go to London every since.

Atmosphere & menu
This vivid restaurant has a really cosy feel to it, it actually feels like having dinner at your friends' place. All the staff are always extremely friendly and helpful they are just amazing! The have cosy sofas and really cool chair that are open on one side, so they are really easy to get at your table. We even sat right at the kitchen counter once! Isn't that so cool?!

To choose your food, you don't get your regular menu, you get a photo album! The quote inside says 'Look how it tastes. Words are good, pictures are better' and I think this is really such an original idea! So you literally see pictures of the different dishes with their names and main ingredients.

My favorite drink: Homemade lemonade!

Food

As the name of the restaurant indicates, the dishes of Sticks and Sushi or one of both. You can have the sticks by themselves, which are mostly meat, or in differents dishes. Same goes for the sushi. You can have maki, nigiri or sashimi separately, make your own combinations or pick out one of the sushi only dishes or combinations with sticks.

The sushi dishes are definitely my favorite! Below I will show you some pictures of the dishes, and will list the names & prices (subject to change) with the pictures if I can find them back!
Enjoy!

Food - Sushi Paradise (Ghent)

Sushi is Japanese for yummy!

Hi Mad Family!

Today I'm coming to you with a little restaurant review and photoreport of Sushi Paradise in Ghent, Belgium. This sit-down and take-away restaurant is situated in the centre of Ghent, but what a treasure it is. We discovered this restaurant through Instagram. I was browsing some hashtags about food, sushi in Ghent and stumbled upon a picture of their Sushi Boat. I showed it to my parents and still that weekend we went to eat there.

The restaurant
Having parked underground right at their doorstep, we walked in an empty restaurant, we were the first ones for that service. A really nice waitress welcomed us and showed us our table.

The menu consists of some starters, like soup, salads and typical Japanse deliciousness like Dim Sum, Tempura etc. We decided not to get a starter, because we were here to eat SUSHI! The main courses mostly of sushi and some warm noodle based and Thai dishes. We decided to go for the Sushi Boat, deluxe option for 3 people, which is priced approximately 30 euros per person. On this deluxe boat, you get a selection of their special rolls, sashimi, nigiri, salmon & tuna. My favorite was the warm sushi called 'Dragon's Eye', it was just yummy head to toe.

 

The Dragon's Eyes *yummy*

I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Ghent and love sushi! The service is really quick, although everything is made freshly before your eyes, you don't have to wait ages for your food to arrive. All different sushi boats are available for 1 person and on take-away too, even in a Veggie versions.
