They have a new cut every month to tantalize your taste buds, and choosing among the abundance of options available is intimidating for sure.

Back in the day, Canary Wharf used to be the busiest harbours globally, and so life surrounding it was different. People in blue jumpsuits scurried around. Sticks ‘n’ Sushi pays homage to this life at Canary Wharf.
