As reported by DRAM Scotland, this signals the start of the company’s next phase of UK expansion, with additional openings planned for early 2026.
The restaurant’s interior, designed by Copenhagen-based OEO Studio, reflects Sticks’n’Sushi’s signature blend of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics.
Group CEO Andreas Karlsson stated: “We are delighted to be bringing Sticks’n’Sushi to Scotland – and what better place for us to begin our northern adventure than Glasgow.
“As we continue to look to grow both in the UK and across Europe, we look forward to welcoming the local community, both as guests and new members of our team.
