Sticks ‘n’ Sushi heading for Paradise offices
The award-winning Danish-Japanese restaurant will become the first leisure venue at Birmingham’s Three Chamberlain Square when it opens in the autumn.
The group will be taking a 6,400 sq ft unit on the ground floor of the building, facing onto the new public realm on Paradise Street.
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.
Paradise says its new Birmingham restaurant will be designed by Danish practice OEO Studio – known for its work on Noma Kyoto, and more recently, Sticks’n’Sushi Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen – with the space set to draw on Japanese architectural principles while incorporating Scandinavian design.

Paradise estate is already home to Dishoom, Albert’s Schloss, Rosa’s Thai, F1®Arcade, La Bellezza, and Cow & Sow.
Ross Fittall, regional development director at Paradise developer and asset-manager, MEPC, 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.”
Andreas Karlsson, SticksʹnʹSushi Group CEO added: “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.”
