Sticks n Sushi- Over hyped.

I am a MASSIVE sushi fan, and I don't understand why my blog still hasn't got any Japanese posts. I have heard a lot of people talking about Sticks n Sushi but never got a chance to visit until now.  Opinion? Why the hype. Don't get me wrong, the sushi was not bad, but for the price that it charged, I have definitely had better. The "Sticks"? Some were pretty bizarre.    
Man Food with add-on (see below) RRP£28
Yakitori sticks
goat cheese in dried ham, pork and basil, beef with herb butter, sasami chili, chicken tsukune
Rice, kimchee & edamame beans & soy


Add-on: Suberibu Spare ribs with teriyaki, chili, sesame & herbs

THUMBS DOWN. With the "sticks" being the signature dishes- These were seriously disappointing. Some weird flavours mixed in that just did not work for me. As for the more "normal" skewers like chicken and ribs- Well, let's just say I can have much better quality at a Turkish restaurant, with half the price.   

Four Meal Drive (Big) Nigiri sushi (RRP£92)
salmon, tuna, seared salmon, sweet shrimp, inari, shrimp

Uramaki inside out rolls
dreamy California, sparkling tuna, mamma mia, black Alaska

Kaburimaki topped rolls
ebi panko, tatami

Futomaki big rolls
ebi tempura big, gypsy big

Soy, wasabi & ginger

*Flavours were reasonable, and fish was fresh. But it was far from the best sushi I've had in London. For £92, this was a rip off. Everyone that eats sushi will know that Uramaki and Futomakis are worth no money, and are super cheap to make.

Choco Fudge with peanut butter ice cream (no long available)

(I can't remember what this was... but it wasn't too nice)

Crème Brûéle (RRP £6)
with vanilla, liquorice & white coffee

Overall Rating: 
(Maybe because it was a Friday night, the restaurant was super noisy it was almost impossible to hear the person next to me. The layout of the restaurants need some working, it was very cramped and staff had no space to walk pass)
Staff: 
(Were friendly but as the place got really busy they struggled)
Food: 
Hygiene:      
Value:  ` 
(Way too expensive for what they had to offer)

I'D LOVE TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS THINK ANY DIFFERENTLY.
