The story began with a simple but very bright idea: it was necessary to urgently open not a Japanese restaurant, but with Japanese cuisine. Then Mikhail Tevelev, the man who founded the restaurant "Two sticks" (St. Petersburg), could not even imagine that his adventure would turn into one of the strongest platforms.
Short description
The first institution was opened in 2003 in the Northern capital, and only 8 years later the opening took place in Moscow. Today, the restaurant "Two sticks" is 31 points in two major cities and a popular chain of Japanese cuisine.
The peculiarity is that the waiters here are exclusively men, dressed in red T-shirts with funny inscriptions on the backs, but more on that later.
Japanese cuisine restaurant "Two sticks" offers visitors to try original serving technology and unusual dishes: shark meat steak, squid skewers, noodles with pine nuts andegg. In addition, it also serves classic and beloved rolls, sushi, dim sum.
Interior Features
The new network "Two Sticks" (St. Petersburg) surprised the residents and guests of the city with its vision of what modern sushi bars are. There was not a single detail reminiscent of Japan: waiters without kimonos, no bonsai on the windowsills. The establishments resembled European airports: ascetic shops painted in dark color, plasma panels, long tables, mirrors, scoreboards.
What else surprises the restaurant "Two Sticks"? The menu and prices are so varied that it seems that this is their success. The menu of dishes is designed to please absolutely every guest: vegetarians, fans of spicy, sweet tooth, as well as everyone who wants to fully enjoy the variety of sushi, rolls, kebabs, salads, sashimi.
As for prices, they are set at an average level. For example, for a business lunch you will pay 250-300 rubles. Cheap, right?

The interior of the restaurant "Two sticks" in American style (Nevsky pr., 96)
The leadership of the restaurant chain was eager to bring new notes to the design already familiar to visitors. The main idea was to combine traditional Japanese cuisine with American cuisine (it is worth noting that the restaurant on Nevsky Prospekt is the only one that offers Western dishes in addition to Asian cuisine) - it was necessary to reflect this in the interior. Prerequisite: sharerestaurant space into 2 opposite zones.
To implement the idea of leadership, the designers had to review a lot of cult American films, where the action unfolded in roadside cafes. Thus, the following details appeared in the updated interior: jukeboxes of the 50s are counters for waiters; checkered patterns appeared on laminated tabletops; hung neon signs; all the seats are made of patent leather, while comics and portraits of famous Western actors and celebrities have appeared on the walls.
The American-style area is organized along the large facade windows. Glossy snow-white lampshades coexist with neon signs, and the unusual red color present in the details of the furniture attracts people to visit the Two Sticks restaurant chain.
Style division is present in everything: here even the floors and the ceiling have their own individuality and are in complete harmony with all interior details. Even 2 bathrooms are decorated in accordance with the style direction.
As for the Japanese part of the interior, the designers had to make several changes in it. The bar counters and walls were finished with wooden panels, an updated shelving system for apples appeared, and partitions appeared between the tables.
New items
Since May 1, the restaurant "Two Sticks" has made several non-standard decisions in the menu section, which turned out to be Mediterranean summer and light: a lot of seafood and vegetables.
Pan-Asian part was dilutedcomplex tuna salad and peanuts; dishes with harmonious combinations appeared in Italian cuisine: smoked duck, cream cheese and curry sauce, and in Japanese - rolls with salsa.
Desserts moved to a separate card. Now it will be difficult for visitors to choose between a delicate chocolate ganache with meringue and a cake with boiled condensed milk, which competed with eclairs and a chocolate cake with mint sauce.
Cocktails
I would like to pay special attention to drinks - bright, he althy, warming, spicy and incredibly fragrant!
Teas are brewed in French presses and cocktails are based on seasonal ingredients. For example, tea latte "Tykwando", prepared using pumpkin puree, bright smoothie "Favorite beetroot" made from scarlet he althy beetroot.
And more recently, the menu has replenished with new strong cocktails - these are sbitni and egg-legs.
Eggnog is a drink made from milk and raw eggs. It was invented in Scotland, and in Europe it is a traditional Christmas table cocktail.
Sbitni (Sbiten) is a Russian drink based on water, honey, herbs and spices. It is served hot or cold depending on the season.
Today, the chain of restaurants offers 2 classic alcoholic drinks: "It's time to go to the bars" (pineapple juice + vodka) and "Drunk spicy" (beer). Each variation is prepared using honey and spices.
Screenings on waiters' T-shirts
As mentioned before,The restaurant of Japanese cuisine "Two sticks" is famous for its feature - the uniform of the attendants. And many visitors have a question: what do these inscriptions mean? Here's what they were invented for:
- Those who can read can entertain themselves and look at all the inscriptions on the backs of the waiters.
- If you are very interested to know what is written on the uniform, but you do not have the opportunity to read it, then ask a pretty girl (or young man) to read the inscription - this is a great way to get acquainted.
- If you put all the waiters in a row, then the inscriptions will turn out to be a very long text, where humorous sentences are repeated.
- If the inscription on the back of the waiter blurs, you may have had enough.
- The restaurant "Two sticks" offers its visitors a free eye test: read the text on the uniform of the departing waiter.
Attention! All inscriptions on T-shirts express the opinion of the waiters, which does not always coincide with the position of the company.
Visitor reviews
Restaurant "Two sticks" receives a wide variety of comments. For example, some guests are delighted with the institution on Moskovsky Prospekt. They liked everything: from the varied menu to the interior. Others found service flaws at Novoslobodskaya.
However, many were pleasantly surprised by the new sweet menu, where they discovered an amazing combination of chocolate fondue with a sweet roll oftropical fruits.
