I never had Laos food before and now I’m absolutely hooked. If you digg Asian street food, this is sure to be your new favorite spot. We swung by for dinner and immediately fell in love with the fun atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff. They were super welcoming, recommended a bunch of dishes, and were so kind. Every dish was better than the last. The jerky was my favorite, and everything was delicious. Prices were so reasonable, and it’s great to support a local business like this. Can’t wait to come back for another round!

I love having places like Sticky Rice. Very unique, delicious food, and great customer service. Very chill seating area, you pay first before sitting so it's not expensive to dine in. Staff explain things well if you have questions about the food and tables are clean right away. Any of their noodle soups are really good, my husband and I also like their dumplings, shrimp chips and fresh coconuts (they will also break it open for you if you ask to get the shavings!). So happy my friend introduced me to this place! 5/5 ⭐!

We ordered the chicken Laab, beef jerky and curry ramen. We did not regret coming to taste the food except one problem. Our taste bud was a mixture of spices, sweet , savory, and umami . We ordered fresh coconut and it wasn’t easy to take out the coconut meat inside . I wish the owner gave us metal spoon . They had only plastic spoon and no way you can scoop the coconut meat out of the coconut. You need to drink the coconut water and also enjoy the refreshing coconut meat inside.

My only other experience with Lao food is back in Dallas. Sticky Rice matched them bar for bar. Got the steak laab, papaya salad (Lao spicy), Kapoon Nam Gai, and the lemon grass beef jerky. Everything was perfect and reminded me of back home. Would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a very long time. Ever since I've seen it on my Instagram feed. I finally had the time to try it so we stopped in to see what all the rave was about. The decor of the restaurant is very nice and it makes you feel like your in a different part of the world which is very nice and relaxing while having your lunch. We ordered lemongrass beef jerky, chicken laab, steak laab, Green Thai tea and the pandan waffle with coconut ice cream dessert, But that is where the problem started. The food was very good and I don't take anything from it and if that was the only thing to be said then this place deserves more than a five-star review as the Michelin plaques on the wall are absolutely correct, But what happened today upsets me very much so. The lady at the cash register who was also our waitress assured me that the dessert I ordered was good in her opinion. I asked her about it personally as I was pointing to it on the menu and reminiscing with my girlfriend about other pandan and coconut desserts we've had right in front of said waitress, so it was almost impossible to mistake my order for something else. After I was done eating she asked me was I ready for my coconut ice cream and purple sticky rice and it hit me that I didn't order any purple sticky rice. I ordered pandan waffle and coconut ice cream. I got up from my seat as she was walking away to run and tell her that I didn't order that, but they were already bringing it out. The guy who prepared it asked would I like to switch it out because I told him that's not what I ordered. I didn't want him to double work because it's not his fault that the order was wrong so I agreed to try it and it was pretty good, but not what I had my heart and stomach set on. The thing that REALLY pisses me off the most is I heard her telling him that "he ordered purple sticky rice and now he wants to change it to pandan and coconut" which is absolutely untrue and if they have a camera there they can roll the footage back and review exactly what I asked for and what I ordered which I hope they do and I implore them to do so after reading this review. That being said, I will never go back to this restaurant because I hate being called a liar and the service that she provided was very dissatisfying to say the least.
