i love mangos. i love rice. and i love spiking my blood sugar. this is why thai food is my favorite cuisine. yet i've got my whole panang curry, pad see ew, and tom yum obsessions WITHOUT EVER TRYING MANGO STICKY RICH. granted, i'm always WAY TOO FULL to order dessert. they do NOT skimp on portions at thai restaurants the hospitality is unreal. but this is unacceptable some mango is my fav fruit. i got an ube mango sticky rice at a food festival one time, but it was cold and pretty standard... that was my only impression of it. NOW FLASH BACK TO HERE. i to echo park only seeking dessert and my friend SHOVED ME over to this tiny cute little establishment. little did i know my upcoming flavor explosion. the sticky rice was WARM, coconutty, sweet and absolutely melted in your mouth while still holding firm, not necessarily mushy. i almost shed a tear. it was STEAMING. and the condensed milk drizzled on top went above and beyond... it was definitely coconut that added just another level of tropical warmth ugh. and those MANGOS??? GIRL ITS APRIL, NOT SUMMER??? yet they were the sweetest, softest, most decadent mangos on planet earth. with that bit of mint, every bite had me in ecstasy... and a food coma. THIS is mango sticky rice. and i WILL be back. also, tell me why i just sat down next to Ian from Smosh. that man's been loving thai food since youtube's inception... and obviously he has impeccable taste *fangirls* read more

Disclaimer: I come from a very heavily Asian populated area so I am used to distinct and pungent flavors. That tastes and feels the most authentic to my palate. Came here for a quick bite before a walk around the lake with a friend I haven't seen in a couple years. I loved our server and overall experience here I appreciated. In terms of food, the panang curry was more watery than I had expected. It had a lot of nice vegetables and a big serving of rice on the side. I thought the flavors were there but it could have definitely been turned up a little more, but wasn't bad for something quick. My friend got the satay and this was more my style. I love a good char and meat on a stick and this satisfied my craving. read more

Sticky Rice Echo Park - Panang curry, chicken satay - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Nice little place with funny decor. Doesn't feel crowded even though it's fairly small. Food and drinks were fresh and good. The Pad Thai was my favorite. Pricey for some noodles, rice or fries with veggies. Due to the simple menu , quick service. Solid place if you crave a quick flavorful meal. read more

Always love sticky rice the special umami sauce that comes with the wings reminds me of the sauce from the restaurant in Rhode Island where my gay nephew came out to me so it will always hold a special place in my heart I need to get a large side of the sauce next time I am there. the pad Thai and pineapple rice is good too read more

The wings are a must. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave. The rolls are massive and fresh, paired with a peanut sauce that's clearly made with care and not just an afterthought. The Pad Thai is where they really show off. The noodles have that ideal texture, not too soft, not too firm, with a balanced flavor and just the right level of spice. The crunch from the vegetables brings everything together in a way that makes each bite better than the last. The pork belly appetizer is rich and indulgent in the best way. And the Thai tea boba? Easily one of the best I've had, smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Even the space itself adds to the experience. The decor is beautiful and thoughtfully done, making it feel like more than just a quick meal. If you're looking for Thai food that's both comforting and elevated, this is the spot. read more

Sticky Rice for Date Night is a great spot. Good ambiance and place and overall the food portions is great for sharing. The staff is nice the Manager Eddy was very helpful with recommendations (since it was our 1st time) and just checking up on us throught the night. So service was great! Also thanks to the cooks because the food was delicious! Pad Thai with steak was so good. And their Thai Tea was a great!No to sweet but just right! The Crispy wings were definitely crispy and not dry. But the crispy shrimp rolls are such great appetizers! Totally recomendado! read more

Very disappointed. This has been on my list for a while and I finally went with friends for dinner. The food is incredibly bland. The rice was undercooked and my friends yellow curry was under seasoned as well as my pad kee mao. My other friends pad Thai was not very good either. On top of that, the service is spotty. I will say the ambiance is really nice. It's super small and vibey. I wouldn't go back ever -- especially not when SO MANY amazing Thai restaurants are all over LA. read more

Had a great time here! The ambiance is charming and the staff and bartenders are so nice! They recommended us to get the Thai tea gimlet which was sooo delicious. We also got the panang curry fries which hit the spot. Shout out to Erika who served us!! read more

Sticky Rice Echo Park - Pictured: fried rice, a special libation concocted by Erica, and the infamous Erica herself! - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I arrived from San Diego and stopped by this small restaurant on East Sunset Blvd in Echo Park with my daughter around 4:00 PM. It wasn't busy, but we stood waiting for about five minutes with no greeting or acknowledgment from anyone on staff. I finally approached a female employee (long silver earrings) to ask if someone could help us. Her response was unbelievably rude--she said she was "busy," in a tone that made it clear she didn't want us there. I even asked, frankly, "Do you want us to leave?" and she replied, "I don't care." Then she told us to leave. We were literally kicked out. I understand being understaffed. I understand stress during a shift. But disrespecting customers and telling them to leave--when the restaurant wasn't even packed--is unacceptable. I left shocked and uncomfortable, and honestly, afraid to ever return or even pass by again. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had.!!! I am a very fair and professional reviewer and today was a sad day for me and my 13 year old daughter!!! read more

Such a cute little place! We ate here while visiting a friend in echo park and loved it. We had the roti and green curry which I've never tried before and was pleasantly surprised. We also order yellow curry,pineapple fried rice,and drunken noodles. Everything had such bright flavors and I loved that they put larger pieces of chili on the drunken noodles giving it a nice spice. Service was fast, and I recommend getting a reservation since it's a small place read more

Showed up an hour before the closing time and they claim the kitchen was closing with uncertainty, and didn't check. We've been going here for years and the staff has pretty much always been rude. At a certain point it's just too much. read more

No wait for a table for two on a Wednesday evening. Drunken noodles were fantastic - soft, chewy, and great flavor. Mild spicy level was definitely SPICY, but overall 10/10. Not pictured: chicken satay skewers. Wasn't a big fan of the peanut dipping sauce, but the chicken had a nice char. Perfect spot for a late night Thai craving. Will definitely come again! read more

Went in for a late dinner and was not disappointed! The ambiance's was giving groovy vibes. We ordered Thai chicken wings as an appetizer. They were perfectly fried and seasoned well. The chicken was juicy. We ordered steak pad siew, shrimp pad siew and chicken pad Thai. All our dishes came out sizzling hot. All the dishes were so delicious. I can't forget our server. They were so nice and attentive. Come check out this place when in Echo Park. read more

Our group came here as this was one of the places our friend wanted to try, but unfortunately, it wasn't what we had expected. Upon getting there, we were immediately seated, but by the time we left, there was a line of people waiting. Would highly recommend making reservations if you stop by. Each of us decided to order our own dish and then share a couple of sides. What I ordered: 1. Chicken Pad Thai - was not impressed. Noodles felt like they were drenched in sauce and it wasn't spicy at all. Also, it was kind of pricey for such a small portion. Unfortunately, I have had better pad thai elsewhere. What each of us shared: 1. Papaya Salad - Super mild and not spicy compared to other thai restaurants. If you like spicy foods, I wouldn't recommend this as it was more refreshing than spicy. We didn't realize it until the dish came, but we were surprised by the wedge of cabbage on the side. It's not something you typically see when ordering papaya salad, so we weren't sure if we were suppose to create wraps and eat it. 2. The Sticky Rice wings: Super juicy and came out piping hot! The batter on the wings were still crunchy and when paired with the sauce, fried basil and peppers, it was super good. Was the highlight of everyone's meal. Overall, we weren't impressed by the papaya salad and what we had individually ordered. If we were in the area, we'd might stop by, but definitely not worth the trip from SGV. read more

Decided to come here after playing tennis! Wow! I don't regret choosing this place! It's sooooo delicious! Everything we ordered was good, but my favorite was the panang curry, poured over the pineapple fried rice. The restaurant is cute, small, and can get busy at peak hours. Parking might also be a little rough. read more

After an evening of shenanigans with some lovely friends during the week, we found ourselves in the Echo Park area at about 10pm and most of us haven't eaten dinner yet. Upon some yelping, we see that Sticky rice was something that we were all craving: a bit of food and a bit of sweets to end the night. Despite coming near closing, we were able to get our takeout order squeezed in before they started closing for the night! Thank you again staff for being accommodating! Haven't had pad thai in a long time, even after driving it back to my friends place for almost 30 mins it was still soo good. Practically cleaned the whole plate. The restaurant has a lot of personality to it, I mean it in a good way. It's definitely a good dinner hang out place at night to meet with friends and catch up. Would come again. Parking wasn't too terrible, there's parking lots, with kiosks. Street parking is also viable if you're lucky too. read more

It was okay! I honestly prefer the ambiance, flavor, and plating at their location on 3rd St. I do not recommend their Thai tea, it tastes like medicine. However, our waitress was kind enough to switch it out for a coke. read more

Sticky Rice Echo Park - Tom Yum Noodles Soup - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Used to be a place I went to a lot given I live literally next to it. Sticky rice started off strong in the neighborhood and overtime has gone incredibly downhill. It's a tossup when you go whether you will get horrible service or horrible food, sometimes both. If you order for takeout, they've significantly reduced the takeout trays where you barely get half a serving all for full price. There's truly nothing about sticky rice that is good anymore. read more

Decent place. I wish I could give 1/2 a star more for ambiance. It was pretty good like the pad see ew with tofu and pineapple fried rice with tofu were delish. But like just good enough not incredible. Really cute inside tho read more

This cute spot has a potential to make it big. Ambiance was nice, cozy. Food was okay, i like their pad thai. The place was a bit busy and seemed short staff that night which made people wait a bit to be seated for no one was outside. Most people who picks up have to wait too. There was no parking space for the restaurant. There is a paid parking on the other street. Overall it was fine. read more

Haven't had pad thai in a long time, so i really enjoyed this! lots of vegetarian options which is great, so i definitely want to come back. the tofu in my pad thai was just slightly dry but over all everything was good! it was enough food for two meals as well :) service was great and the restaurant itself was super cute. read more

Ate here with my fiancé before going to a concert at The Echo across the street. It was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night (around 7pm), but we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. Cool, low-light ambiance inside. We split the Roti with Green Curry, Pineapple Fried Rice, and a Thai tea. All were DELICIOUS but the roti and curry were seriously amazing. Haven't found anywhere else that makes their roti like this and we're obsessed. Sadly we live in Long Beach and can't be regulars, but trust me--we'll be back for that roti!! read more

We got food to go because it was a very busy Friday night. The restaurant looked like a fun spot to hang with friends; very buzzy. The shrimp spring rolls had great flavor but I wish the tail was removed. The chicken wings were big and fried well! Maybe too much basil on top because the basil and jalapeño together didn't taste like much. It's a solid 3.5, I want to come back and try other items! read more

Very cute and quirky establishment with outdoor seating! Lots of dogs outside which is great. Boat noodles had a great flavor but the both was a lot thicker than others I've tried (not a bad thing tho). Also kind of expensive for the portion. read more

Got seated quickly on a Saturday evening with no reservation. Was very busy, but in a good way, wasn't too loud or anything! The interior is very chic! We got waters right away but had to ask for a server to take our order. We got the egg rolls (veggie) which were to dieeee for! So flavorful even w/o the sauce! 10/10 freshness and flavor. All the food came out pretty quickly. The curry... don't get me started!! 10/10 I added sticky rice instead of steamed rice which I believe compliments it better. The Thai tea wasn't what I was used to, I would've like it to be creamier and richer. Had a sweet butter taste. The Gimlet was very lime forward, not a bad thing. But overall we would return! Great atmosphere. THEY DO NOT TAKE CASH!! Only cash tips read more

Hip Thai place in downtown echo park, great late night spot since it's open until 12 AM. My friends and I came here around 1 PM, there was some live music going on in the back so had some drinks there. The restaurant itself is small with bar and table seatings. Menu is small for a Thai place but has basic items, I got the papaya salad, the others got khao soi, pad see ew, satay, and chicken wings. Papaya salad (7/10)-nothing special but refreshing wasn't too salty, would add protein next time. Khao soi (7/10)-bit too creamy for me but get a hint of spice that's not overpowering, good portion for price. Satay (7.5/10)-tender chicken, wish it came with more peanut sauce Chicken wings (8.5/10)-my favorite, had good Thai basil spice and was crispy and large portion Pas see ew (7.5/10)-big portion and soy sauce forward, packed with veggies too. The drinks are good but a little on the weaker side. Overall solid bar ish Thai place that is fun to hang with friends. read more

Such cool vibes here, reminds me of when I was in Thailand! The place is a mix of traditional and fusion Thai flavors. It was packed inside during a weekend night, so we were seated outside. The dishes were all very flavorful and fresh! I would say the highlight of the meal was the roti and green curry , which were very different than what I usually order, it was flaky and warm! Typically asking for mild spicy from papaya salad comes out extremely spicy at Thai restaurants but at this restaurant, it's actually mild. Fried chicken were juicy and piping hot. We also ordered the comforting Khao Soi, which was more of a flavorful thick soup with noodles. The alcoholic cocktails were unique and Thai-inspired, but a bit tad sweet. Overall I recommend any of the food and drinks there, you can't go wrong on any of them! read more

What a cute little date night spot! The menu is simple -- just really good Thai staples done right. It's a bit on the pricier side, but that's to be expected in Silver Lake. The khao soi was creamy, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious -- I cleaned the bowl. Great service too. What a gem! read more

Cute place for a quick bite, although it was a bit hard to waive anyone down to be seated at around 9:30-10pm on a Thursday. Pretty sure the owner walked right by me and did not ask if I wanted to be seated while I stood there for 5+ minutes awkwardly. I had to walk pretty deep into the place to grab a waiter myself to be seated, but once I had their attention they were attentive. The mango sticky rice itself was good, but not the best I've had. I would n't mind coming back to try their drinks and food. read more

First time trying this place and everything tasted amazing! We came on a Saturday for a late dinner and there were plenty of seats. We also got lucky with street parking nearby but during rush hour it may be more difficult to find parking. Next door, they have a bar with live music and it was packed. We sat on the restaurant side and a server came by to take our drink and food order right away. What we ordered: papaya salad - very delicious and not too sweet. I only wish the shreds were thinner but flavor wise was perfect. Mild was not spicy at all roti and green curry - cooked very unique. Roti was very flaky and buttery. Definitely a must try! crying tiger - the juiciest and softest steak and also comes with a side of papaya salad. Probably one of my favorites of everything we ordered Fried Chicken wings - the absolute best fried chicken. It was juicy and perfectly fried. If you love fried chicken, it's a must order Kao soi - they fill it to the brim! Very filling and well worth Everything here was so unique and different from other Thai places I've tried. Highly recommend trying this spot out and will definitely be back to try their other menu items, as well as check out their bar next door! read more

Good: Very cute and unique atmosphere. Really nice to enjoy in good weather especially. There's an outdoor patio. The food is really good. I haven't tried the bar but the drinks look fun. So so: Although the food is good it's on the pricier side. What I dislike the most is how the menu items state they have certain things like meatballs in the dish but when ordering you have to pay more for meat otherwise you don't actually get all the items in the dish the menu says it has. read more

Any time you go to a show in the Echo Park area, it should be blessed by sitting down and eating at Sticky Rice. Whether you're in the touring/performing act down the street or someone waiting for the venue to open up, it is an absolute must. My go to order are the fish sauce wings. To someone reading "fish sauce wings" (i actually think they're called the sticky rice wings now that i think about it) they may initially think that flavor profile is appalling, but you can't knock it until you try it. Pair it with an Asian beer and experience south eastern Asian cuisine. There are seats inside and out on the patio. My friend and i opted for the outside seating facing the street. read more
