Sticks'n'Sushi Wimbledon

You'll find yourself in a sleek, modern space on Wimbledon Hill Road where the vibe is decidedly upbeat without trying too hard. Sticks'n'Sushi nails the formula: impeccably fresh nigiri and sashimi sit alongside yakitori-style skewers that come charred and smoky from the robata grill. The menu bounces between Japanese classics and more inventive rolls, but it's the grilled stuff that keeps locals coming back—skewers of chicken, beef and seafood that taste like someone actually knows what they're doing with fire and seasoning. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a casual weeknight with mates or something slightly more polished.
