A well-known Danish-Japanese restaurant brand is heading to Prague. Sticks’n’Sushi will open its first Czech location later this year at Jungmannovo náměstí, adding another international name to the city’s dining scene. The group is entering the Czech market through a joint venture with local company Sushi Group s.r.o., represented by Jan Dědíček and Zbyněk Pokorný, the same couple who brought the Italian restaurant chain L’Osteria to the country eight years ago.

The brand is part of the portfolio of McWin Capital Partners, which has been backing its growth across Europe. The Prague restaurant will span three floors and seat around 160 guests. The space has been designed by Diener + Diener in collaboration with interior designer Susan Palanki.

According to the developers, the interior will combine Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian design, a concept the brand has used in its other locations. A private dining room and an outdoor terrace with space for 36 guests are also planned. The menu will follow the format already established in cities like Copenhagen, London, and Berlin.

Guests can expect sushi, sashimi, salads, and grilled skewers prepared on a robata grill. The offer will include both à la carte dishes and set menus, with takeaway and delivery available. Drinks will range from sake and Japanese teas to cocktails, beer, and a rice lager created with Danish brewery Mikkeller.

“We are delighted to bring Sticks’n’Sushi to a new city,” said CEO Andreas Karlsson, pointing to Prague as a logical next step as the group continues to expand in Central and Northern Europe. Pokorný said the concept should appeal to both locals and international visitors. “Our aim is to create a place people return to not just for the food, but for the overall experience,” he said.

The project is expected to create around 60 jobs, with the opening currently planned for autumn 2026. Founded in Copenhagen in 1994, Sticks’n’Sushi now operates more than 30 restaurants across Denmark, the UK, and Germany. Would you like us to write about your business? Find out more
