The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind!

Large salads, and a selection of other entrees round out the menu. We also feature a kids menu! Don't forget the (soon to be famous) bucket of tater tots with our special tot sauce. Sticky Rice, established last century has been rolling on and on. Sticky Rice serves up an unusual mix of American, Pan-Asian entrees in a friendly, inexpensive and inviting atmosphere.

A wonderful assortment of small plates. We shared spring rolls, shrimp tempura, chicken satay, mushroom quesadilla and a bread pudding for dessert. Food was terrific and the sauces added to the flavors. Service was great and very accommodating. All in all a great experience!

We had a lovely dinner, but upstairs was very loud. The combo of crowd voices and loud music made it hard to have a conversation. Drinks were great and fries very tasty. Really enjoyed the Brussell sprouts! Service was good and server very friendly, but felt like she was really in the weeds and therefore unable to pay as much attention to us as she would have liked. But others stepped in to help when she was unable to, so your team was working well together.
