With its charming atmosphere and bad attitude you won"t find anything quite like it. Our specialty is our fresh sushi bar. With rolls like g.i.jane, shiitake happens and Godzirra, how could you go wrong? Our huge bowls of noodles will satisfy big and small. 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. Spring rolls, potstickers, sushi, noodles and edamame (steamed soy beans) are simple and standard. Lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians!

Wow! I’m so glad I finally booked the restaurant. I’ve been a fan of his from Food Network. Had co-workers in town from down south. They appreciated the friendly staff, ambiance, and delicious food. So happy to see Tobias there and working after his injury last year. Would definitely recommend the cheesesteak eggrolls, short rib, brussel sprouts, and lobster ravioli. Table next to us had deviled eggs that looked delish also.
