Reviews for Sticks and Stones in Saskatoon, SK
We had good food and a good server, no complaints there. However we were given the worst table in the whole place and were also... the first two customers in the restaurant, even made a reservation for this “milestone” birthday. Clearly they do not checkthe notes for OpenTable reservations as I specified it was for a birthday - even asked for a silly song. In regards to the badtable, we finished and left the restaurant before any of the empty 6 or 7 tables adjacent to us had a seating. Also not a greatsetting, very dark and couldn’t see any of the nice colours in my Bibimbap or Drinks unless the camera was max brightness. Definitely think that lighting is cool after 8/9pm but not 5pm sharp Read more
My partner made a surprise reservation for Sticks and Stones for my birthday and I couldn't have been happier. There is a lot... to like about this restaurant; they are in a great location, the atmosphere is intimate, the servers are polite and the food isphenomenal. I shared the Pork Belly Buns, I had the spicy Korean Fried chicken and my partber had the Bibimbap. The meats wereincredibly tender and they have mastered creating very complex flavors. It's a fantastic restaurant that I hope I can return tobefore my next birthday! Read more
Thank you Alex for the amazing experience. You played a decisive role in my experience. The sashimi: is of standard fare.... Difficult to improve or distinguish. The ramen: the main outstanding feature is the egg. I was pleasantly surprised with how ittasted. If nothing else, the egg's uniqueness is the hook. The cocktail: "Salty Seas" Its ingredients are definitely of EastAsian influence. It beautifully comes together to form a cocktail I would indulge without remorse or reservation. The desert:"sour berry" I feel, adheres to the Japanese Pallet. As in, it is not a desert covered in another desert, topped off with adifferent desert. It does not wear out its welcome after the first bite. It is a dish to indulge to the very end, with out thelingering guilty feelings of potential cavities or calorie counting. The dish welcome you to finish it, and it does not become achore to finish. I would without question return. Alex, thanks again! Read more
Tasty food and great service! The menu is only one page, but all the choices looked good. The server was attentive, helpful,... and recommend some dishes that were safe for my allergy (peanuts) and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Cocktails were fancy too! Theatmosphere, quality, and price are upscale and Asian inspired. Read more
Delicious! We always leave happy when we eat at sticks and stones. There menu is limited, however everything on the menu is... amazing! We had the pork belly steamed buns: UNREAL! You need to try them, they are a must have! We also had the chickenkaraage, which was fantastic! The flavour was very authentic japanese, but the texture had a modern twist on it-- it was supercrispy. As for the ramen, it was delicious. We had the shoyu ramen and spicy ramen. Both were fantastic, and the broth wassuperb. We could tell they used real bones to make their broth, and the pork that came with it was to die for. My only complaintwas that the noodles were slightly soften than I care for-- not a big deal tho. Drink selection was great; there are so manyfun cocktails and authentic asian spirits. A wonderful place to get eastern asian food. Read more

Have been here numerous times over the years and never left disappointed. You are always greated with a smile and warm welcome... from staff when coming in. Ladies serving the tables are polite and friendly. Last time it was Mila and she was wonderful. Shehas worked from the opening and can see why she is still around enjoying what she does. It was a pleasure to be served. Food isalways delicious. Ramens are some of the best i ever had. Sushi is exquisite and taste very fresh. Some meals definitely fillyou more per $ than others which is totally okay. Not all restaurants should make you filled up overboard. Bibimpap is mypersonal favorite. Korean food is just very unique and these guys make it in the best tradition of the country. Design has agreat taste and open kitchen is cool, ability to smell some food even before getting to it (if sitting by the kitchen). The barand the area around look beautiful. Thank you for all the times we enjoyed food and drinks here, would definitely be back! Read more
One night staying in town and this place was a short walk from our hotel. Arrived a few minutes early on our reservation.... Hostess welcomed us and then said “it will be 9 minutes”. No one left before we were seated. I could understand if there wasonly one empty table in the place but there were many. Weird, but ok. It got MUCH better after that. We ordered a cocktail eachto start. Yummy! Read more
