Sticks‘n’Sushi coming to Paradise Birmingham later this year
Award-winning Danish-Japanese restaurant Sticks‘n’Sushi will be opening at Paradise later this year as the estate’s newest hospitality offering.
Set to open this autumn, the group will be taking a 6,392 sq ft unit on the ground floor of Three Chamberlain Square, facing onto the new public realm on Paradise Street.
The new operator will be the first leisure venue at Three Chamberlain Square, a building with a unique, low carbon design, and accreditations that underlines its holistic commitment to sustainability and workplace wellbeing. It will bring a whole new offering to the city and the Paradise estate, which is already home to Dishoom, Albert’s Schloss, Rosa’s Thai, F1®Arcade, La Bellezza, and Cow & Sow.
Founded in 1994 by half-Japanese, half-Danish, brothers Jens and Kim Rahbek, and Thor Anderson in Copenhagen, SticksʹnʹSushi is one of Denmark’s most established and respected restaurant groups – with sites in Denmark, Germany and the UK. The group have recently announced they will open in Prague later in the year as part of their international expansion overseas.
Guests can expect sharing dishes of sushi, sashimi, salads and grilled sticks; available à la carte or in generous set menus, for both dine in and takeaway. Popular dishes include Beef Tataki, beef fillet with miso aioli, truffle ponzu and artichoke crisps and Temaki Setto, DIY sushi rolls with lobster, wagyu tartare and avocado. From the grill, highlights come in the form of Gindara No Miso, miso-glazed black cod, Iberico Secreto; miso-cured black Iberian pork, and Ramu Niku, lamb with garlic butter, spring onion and soy sauce.
The drinks list will include sake, Japanese teas, cocktails, premium spirits and beer, including the brand’s recent collaborative Japanese rice lager with Danish brewery Mikkeller.
Designed by Danish practice OEO Studio – known for its work on Noma Kyoto, and more recently, Sticks’n’Sushi Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen – the space will draw on Japanese architectural principles while incorporating Scandinavian design.
Andreas Karlsson, SticksʹnʹSushi Group CEO comments:
“Regional expansion continues to be a real focus for Sticks’n’Sushi, and Birmingham feels like a natural next step for the brand.
Paradise is one of the city’s most exciting developments, and we’re looking forward to bringing our blend of Danish design, Japanese dining and generous hospitality to the Midlands for the first time.
Ross Fittall, Regional Development Director at Paradise developer and asset-manager, MEPC, the specialist development arm of Federated Hermes, said:
“Sticks‘n’Sushi is going to be yet another exciting new offer and the perfect addition to Birmingham’s existing and sophisticated leisure offer. As the first venue to come to Three Chamberlain Square, it will be accessible to people from across the city and marks yet another major milestone for the estate with another new offer for Birmingham and its people.
“Paradise is all about shared space, and the union of commercial workspace with public realm intersects with our leisure operators, all of which have brought a new concept to Birmingham.
Companies and organisations continue to look to Paradise as the premier commercial and leisure destination in Birmingham, with Sticks‘n’Sushi just the very latest of a successful commercial trend.
One of the most sustainable commercial buildings in the UK and a landmark for sustainability, Three Chamberlain Square is a 189,000 sq ft building with a unique, low carbon design, and accreditations that underline its holistic commitment to sustainability, workplace wellbeing and futureproofing. And as the most sustainable commercial building in the city, Three Chamberlain Square underlines the commitment of Paradise to a net zero future.
