The service was very good. The primary server was knowledgeable about each dish we asked about & correctly advised us on how much to order. Each server who went by our table observed & removed empty dishes. Each item we ordered ,except for the sushi rolls, was new for us. We liked all of the dishes including the desert. A bonus was the deconstructed cheese cake with lots of texture and flavours. The decor is minimalistic & Asian influenced . Since I was more interested in the food and service I was impressed..... as a foodie with an appetite I would choose this restaurant over others in the same area. Next time I visit I hope to try another of the Grass Roots restaurants .
One of the best Japonés restaurants
Awesome food and great service. Highly recommend it
Tasty food and great service! The menu is only one page, but all the choices looked good. The server was attentive, helpful, and recommend some dishes that were safe for my allergy (peanuts) and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Cocktails were fancy too! The atmosphere, quality, and price are upscale and Asian inspired.
Thank you Alex for the amazing experience. You played a decisive role in my experience. The sashimi: is of standard fare. Difficult to improve or distinguish. The ramen: the main outstanding feature is the egg. I was pleasantly surprised with how it tasted. If nothing else, the egg's uniqueness is the hook. The cocktail: "Salty Seas" Its ingredients are definitely of East Asian influence. It beautifully comes together to form a cocktail I would indulge without remorse or reservation. The desert: "sour berry" I feel, adheres to the Japanese Pallet. As in, it is not a desert covered in another desert, topped off with a different desert. It does not wear out its welcome after the first bite. It is a dish to indulge to the very end, with out the lingering guilty feelings of potential cavities or calorie counting. The dish welcome you to finish it, and it does not become a chore to finish. I would without question return. Alex, thanks again!
Delicious! We always leave happy when we eat at sticks and stones. There menu is limited, however everything on the menu is amazing! We had the pork belly steamed buns: UNREAL! You need to try them, they are a must have! We also had the chicken karaage, which was fantastic! The flavour was very authentic japanese, but the texture had a modern twist on it-- it was super crispy. As for the ramen, it was delicious. We had the shoyu ramen and spicy ramen. Both were fantastic, and the broth was superb. We could tell they used real bones to make their broth, and the pork that came with it was to die for. My only complaint was that the noodles were slightly soften than I care for-- not a big deal tho.
Drink selection was great; there are so many fun cocktails and authentic asian spirits.
A wonderful place to get eastern asian food.
The food was delicious! And staff were attentive, friendly, and gave good recommendations. Definitely a place worth eating at! My mum and I enjoyed it very much and are looking forward to going back.
First time here but it will not be the last one. The food is amazing, friendly staff and quick service.
Spicy ebi mayo is a must.
My partner made a surprise reservation for Sticks and Stones for my birthday and I couldn't have been happier.
There is a lot to like about this restaurant; they are in a great location, the atmosphere is intimate, the servers are polite and the food is phenomenal.
I shared the Pork Belly Buns, I had the spicy Korean Fried chicken and my partber had the Bibimbap. The meats were incredibly tender and they have mastered creating very complex flavors.
It's a fantastic restaurant that I hope I can return to before my next birthday!
Have been here numerous times over the years and never left disappointed.
You are always greated with a smile and warm welcome from staff when coming in. Ladies serving the tables are polite and friendly. Last time it was Mila and she was wonderful. She has worked from the opening and can see why she is still around enjoying what she does. It was a pleasure to be served.
Food is always delicious. Ramens are some of the best i ever had. Sushi is exquisite and taste very fresh. Some meals definitely fill you more per $ than others which is totally okay. Not all restaurants should make you filled up overboard. Bibimpap is my personal favorite. Korean food is just very unique and these guys make it in the best tradition of the country.
Design has a great taste and open kitchen is cool, ability to smell some food even before getting to it (if sitting by the kitchen). The bar and the area around look beautiful.
Thank you for all the times we enjoyed food and drinks here, would definitely be back!
