Snap, Crackle, Pop! Fantabulous Roll! Spicy Thai Chicken Bowl!
Gregory F.

I think this place was solid - and similar to Lucky AF, has some really creative rolls to try. That said, it was a bit pricier than I would have liked - luckily we had a gift card to make it a bit more accessible. The Snap Crackle Pop roll was super unique and we loved it - Fantabulous Roll had a nice hearty serving of fish with each bite, and how delicious it was to have a combo fish and crab meat roll since I typically feel pressured to choose one or the other. The noodles were a perfect dish to round it all out and make it all that much more filling of a takeout dinner for the two of us - although be warned - they pack a PUNCH!

Millennium Roll & Philly Roll
Steph J.

If you ever are in richmond and want sushi this is the spot to go! i love going to sticky rice and trying something new! the most recent time i got a philadelphia roll and the millennium roll, while my partner got the spicy tuna roll. the ever was really sweet and was pretty quick with everything but it wasn't super packed! the inside of the place reminds me of my trip to japan and is like bringing japan to richmond in the cutest way possible.

The place is such a cozy ambiance, it's a great place for a date or hangout on gloomy day. The service was really great, Tyler was the only one taking care of multiple tables but he did a wonderful job and making sure we got everything we wanted and needed. As far as the food, Sticky Rice used to be one of my top favorite places a few years back but when I went this time, I was very disappointed with everything except the Sticky balls. The beef and chicken were dry and I would have preferred Panda Express tbh. I'm hoping it's a one time thing especially because it was right after Richmond city boil water advisory was lifted. All in all they do a good job to create a good atmosphere and have fun events on certain evenings like karaoke!

Good place to stop with plenty to choose from !! They had quite a few vegetarian options and they were really good ! I loved the tofu bites and the sushi I got (I couldn't remember the name). Def wish they had sweet tea though ): The waitress was really sweet and checked up on us quite a few times ! The vibes were very bubbly and chatty there it's a nice vibe.

Dirty Vegan Bowl, Veganzilla Roll, & Kappa Maki
Paula M.

Calling all vegans! My partner and I finally visited Sticky Rice after trying their food at the Veggie Fest and it was SO GOOD - the menu offered a vegan bowl and plenty of vegan sushi rolls, so we got a mix of the Dirty Vegan bowl, Veganzilla Roll, and Kappa Maki roll. It was absolutely delicious, all flavor profiles were amazing. Until now, we've been making our own vegan sushi rolls and bowls since we couldn't find a restaurant that beat our own cooking... but now we've been happily outperformed :) The ambience was also very fun - it's pretty crowded on a Saturday night and some of the tables are packed in tightly together, but lighting and vibe was great. Our waiter was also awesome - super nice and they even grabbed me some pickled ginger for our rolls. We had a great time and definitely recommend!

Curry Fried Rice Bowl La La Yu Yu Tuna
Alexus C.

The food exceeded my expectations, despite my initial hesitation to visit. Since they're open late, I had limited options on a Thursday night, but I'm glad I took the chance. The service was friendly and accommodating, allowing me to choose my own seat. The ambiance was pleasant, with music videos playing on the projector. While the volume might not be ideal for everyone, I personally enjoyed the lively RVA atmosphere.

food is always so good and service has never been bad! happy hour is pretty good too. love their fun specials :)

Honey pot drink is in the right.
Kathryn T.

I went here just a couple of weeks ago, with a friend after getting tattoos. Oh my lord when we walked in we both knew that the food was going to be good. We both ordered drinks, and obviously some sushi. I took a picture of mine and I forgot what it was called there was a name for it...all I remember is that I wished we lived closer. I would definitely recommend this beautiful establishment.

Tuna Bites
Lindsey F.

Great spot! It's tiny and there's a wait sometimes but we were able to be seated right away. Our food was delicious. The tuna bites appetizer was our favorite. It's very casual and they have Bingo and Kareoke nights too. Our server was very attentive and we will definitely be recommending this spot to other people.

Sargasso Sea Roll
Katie W.

The food is always excellent, and they have a variety of options from sushi to bowls to sandwiches. They also offer a delicious bucket of tater tots that comes with a spicy mayo-based dipping sauce. The restaurant can feel a bit crowded at times, since there is limited space. It is conveniently located on Main Street between VCU and Carytown.

Selena d.

favorite sushi place in richmond. extremely impressive vegetarian/vegan selection of sushi (it's all very good). even if you eat fish you should give the veggie stuff a try. i've never seen any place do it that well. really chill vibes, but gets very busy sometimes.

General Tso
Brittney G.

Sticky rice has always been hit or miss. I love the tater tots with the sauce and the sticky rice those two items never disappoint. I usually myself of friends order the general tso, curry fried chicken or sushi. The service has always been friendly but the experience between wait time or getting part of an order wrong is fairly common here. It's fairly inexpensive meal and you can usually find street parking nearby.

Cute menu setting

Great vegan options. I especially loved the tofu bites: soft on the inside, extra crispy outside…read more Their habanero wing sauce and garlic hot sauce were both great, as was the vegan ranch. The cauliflower wings were HUGE and the whole table enjoyed them. My partner got the vegan artichoke ("GWARtichoke") burger with tofu ricotta and that was awesome too. Our friend got the tofu banh mi and enjoyed it as well. And there are several more vegan options we didn't get to try this time. Will definitely be back. The atmosphere is.. GWAR! Very neat. And they have a parking lot which is so convenient. Did not love the plastic silverware in little disposable packs. (For dining in, real metal utensils are much appreciated pleeeease). Service wasn't super friendly but maybe it's part of the GWAR schtick (they weren't mean at all, just not the most hospitable). We didn't mind anyway. The food came out fast and they got all our orders right. You order at the bar so it's not like you have a server anyway.

So let me start with this- Everyone should go for the experience. The ambience and GWAR nostalgia…read moreare off the chain. The service was mediocre at best. We actually wondered if it was supposed to be a "Dicks Last Resort " kinda vibe. (The waiter was just this side of rude). The food was ok. The only thing we couldn't get down was the pretzel. It was so salty just looking at it made blood pressure rise. Even with all that though you should still go. It's a fun vibe. Sit and have a beer and take in all the nostalgia.

A staff member who was seated nearby asked how my sandwich was, and I informed him of the issue.

I want to emphasize that I hesitated to share this because the food is otherwise absolutely delicious. However, I feel it is important to bring this to your attention to help prevent similar situations for others. It was a very unpleasant and unsettling experience, and I would not want anyone else to encounter the same. I kindly ask that you please ensure employees follow proper food safety practices, such as keeping hair secured while preparing food. Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration.

I've notice their fusion dishes are where they shine now. Whenever we do come, we're able to get a seat immediately. The people who work here are kind. Do know that service can feel a little slow at moments. The space itself is cute and the paintings on the wall are nice. The best thing I've tried here recently were what my friends ordered which were the bulgogi loaded fries and the bulgogi quesadilla. They have a fun time with fusion here! I got the shiitake mushroom savory udon noodles on my last visit and wished they had a bit more flavor. The time before that I got the japchae that was way too oily for me. My fiancé likes this spot a lot, so we do go a couple times a year.

Now let's talk food, because the wings and nachos here are absolutely to die for. The wings come out perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sauce, and the nachos are piled high and loaded in all the right ways. Every single time I order them I wonder why I ever eat anywhere else. But here's my pro tip -- hit happy hour. Trust me on this one. The daiquiris during happy hour are hands down the best in all of Richmond. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. Fuzzy Cactus has the perfect combination of great food, killer drinks, and even better people. Do yourself a favor and get in there.

Came only for the wings and they definitely live up to the hype. Came out fresh and hot. The wings were huge and perfectly saucy - might be some of my favorite wings in RVA thus far. The buffalo sauce was perfect. We also got the sweet heat which was like a mild bbq sauce with a little bit of heat - the sauce itself was okay but the wings being perfectly cooked made up for it. Will be back again soon as our usual wing spot!
