- RRebeccaOxford/Oxfordshire •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoNicely appointed restaurant with some views over Oxford Spires. Food was delicious and well presented. Was very expensive - 168 for 2 adults and a child. Especially as only one of us had any alcohol (1 glass wine and 1 cocktail) and we shared a dessert. Wouldn’t rush back due to the price but nice as treat for my daughter’s birthday.More infoSticks'n'Sushi - OxfordPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Oxford•4.7
