STICKS’N SUSHI SET TO OPEN AT COPENHAGEN AIRPORT
Sticks’n’Sushi will open its first airport restaurant as part of the Terminal 3 expansion at Copenhagen Airport in 2027, marking a big milestone for the Danish-Japanese restaurant group.
With panoramic runway views, a new bar and a custom-designed concept for travellers, both loyal guests and first-timers can look forward to a fresh destination for sake, sushi and sticks to dine in or take away on their journey.
The new restaurant will be located at the new extended Terminal 3 at Copenhagen Airport. Centered in the heart of Copenhagen Airport, travellers can pause for a meal or pick up a little taste of Sticks’n’Sushi on their way to the gate or to enjoy on the flight. With a panoramic view of the runway, guests can also stop by the bar for a drink or enjoy a light meal before departure.
“Copenhagen Airport has been on our wish list for many years, both for me personally and for Sticks’n’Sushi. I remember Kim Rahbek, co-founder and first CEO of Sticks’n’Sushi, and I would spend hours in these terminals, inspired by what was around us and imagining what could be. This opening feels like a homecoming. I’m proud of our Copenhagen team for making it happen, and excited to welcome both new guests and our loyal ‘Frequent Fishers’ to a space that feels unmistakably us,” says Andreas Karlsson, CEO of Sticks’n’Sushi.
Michael Hertz Clausen, Vice President at Copenhagen Airport comments: “We’re proud to welcome Sticks’n’Sushi, a local success and an international brand, as part of our Terminal 3 expansion where we extend our one-roof airport by 60,000 m². Their strong brand, high quality and distinctive concept are a perfect match for our ambition to offer travellers world-class dining experiences – served fast, full of flavour and with an eye for detail. The location is truly unique, with panoramic views and next to a new outdoor garden space that brings daylight and the Scandinavian nature into the terminal.”
The new 174-seat restaurant will feature a dedicated bar to serve as an ideal place for meeting over a glass of sake, beer, wine or a cocktail, paired with light dishes designed for time-conscious travellers. The menu will feature popular favourites such as signature maki, grill sticks and sharing bites, along with compact new menu formats and specially developed takeaway options. Guests arriving early will also find a curated selection of dishes inspired by Sticks’n’Sunrise so they will be ready for the first flights of the day.
The restaurant will include a range of tech-enabled solutions, including digital ordering and self-service features, ensuring quick and seamless service without compromising on quality.
“We also see the opening at the airport as an obvious opportunity to develop our concept for a new type of guest and introduce passengers from all over the world to our brand. In our preparatory work, we have rethought both technology, design and menu, and we can hardly wait to present the result to the many travellers who pass through the airport every day.” says Andreas Karlsson.
With this opening, Sticks’n’Sushi is strengthening its presence in Denmark where the group opened its first restaurant on Nansensgade in Copenhagen back in 1994. Today, Sticks’n’Sushi has over 30 restaurants in Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom with more openings planned.
