Sticks’n’Sushi To Open First Stockholm Restaurant as Swedish Expansion Begins

Stockholm is about to get its first taste of Sticks'n'Sushi, as the Danish-Japanese restaurant group opens its first Swedish restaurant in Stockholm in Spring 2027, continuing an ambitious period of European expansion alongside an upcoming market entry into the Czech Republic.

The 166-cover restaurant, located at Grev Turegatan 6, will include a 16-cover private dining room for dinners, celebrations and group bookings, and will create 60 new jobs locally. The opening marks the beginning of the group's ambitions in Sweden, with plans to open three restaurants in Stockholm before expanding outside the capital.

Designed by award-winning Swiss-German architects Diener & Diener, the restaurant will reflect the brand's signature blend of Scandinavian design and Japanese influence — defined by deep-toned timber, sculptural forms and a restrained material palette. Expect a spatial experience that balances intimacy with openness in a dining space suited to both everyday occasions and larger gatherings, from long lunches and date nights to celebratory dinners. A large bar will be at the heart of the restaurant — the perfect spot to drop in for a quick drink alongside Japanese bites.

The menu will feature the brand’s signature sharing dishes of sushi, sashimi, salads and grilled sticks, available à la carte or in generous set menus. Popular dishes include Ebi Bites, tempura shrimp with miso aioli, lime and chilli and the Maki Maki selection of four signature rolls. Larger sharing experiences include the As Good As It Gets, a premium selection of SticksʹnʹSushi favourite sharing plates, build-your-own handrolls, maki and kushiyaki sticks. From the grill, highlights include the Japanese classic Shōyu Tebasaki, chicken wings marinated in garlic, ginger, tamari and soy, Gindara No Miso, miso-glazed black cod, and Aka Ebi, shrimp in gochujang and garlic butter.

The drinks list delivers a curated selection of sake, Japanese teas, contemporary cocktails, premium spirits and beer — including the brand's Japanese Rice Lager, made in collaboration with Danish brewery Mikkeller.

Andreas Karlsson, Sticks'n'Sushi Group CEO, comments: "Stockholm is a natural next step for Sticks'n'Sushi. The city has a strong dining culture and a guest base that understands both quality and design. Our ambition is to build a long-term presence in Sweden, with a vision to add a few more restaurants in Stockholm before looking beyond the capital. We are also very much looking forward to creating 60 new jobs in Stockholm, and will be starting our recruitment of the team very soon."

Henry McGovern, co-founder and partner, McWin Capital Partners, comments: "We're delighted to see Sticks'n'Sushi take this next step in Sweden following our upcoming expansion to Prague. I see Sweden as a market with a sophisticated restaurant culture and strong potential for the brand. For McWin, this new expansion is yet another strong result of us having found the right operating platform for long-term growth conditions. Stockholm represents a compelling entry point for Sticks'n'Sushi, and we're excited about the opportunity to show Sweden what we have to offer."

Founded in Copenhagen by half-Japanese, half-Danish brothers Jens and Kim Rahbek and Thor Andersen, Sticks'n'Sushi is one of Denmark's most established and respected restaurant groups, with restaurants in Denmark, Germany and the UK, with Czech Republic to follow in Autumn 2026.
