    Specials- always great
    Al A.

    This little gem in Tellico Village is always excellent, the food is good, & the staff is attentive. It's not a quiet or romantic place, but it serves great rolls & delicious options.

    You would never expect anything as fabulous as it was. It's located in a small strip center in Tellico village. I am so pleasantly suprised. Francisco was our waiter and recommended some great rolls for us. My favorite was definitely the Mexican and Madagascar we ordered extra spicy. Delicious, if we lived here we would definitely become regulars. Highly recommend.

    Finally gave Rice Kitchen a try. I don't have sushi often so we just ordered a couple of rolls to go. The Mexican roll was fried and the Honey Moon roll was not. Both had good flavor, were fresh, and are items I would order again. I went early, before 5pm to pick up my order, and there weren't many in the restaurant. The ambience is clean, comfortable but plain. The servers were attentive while I waited. The bottom line : the food was good and I will go back. They offer a variety of items, including many rolls, sashimi, hibachi, and teriyaki. Give it a try.

    Everytime the service and food is amazing!!! The owner is great and made my daughter a special shrimp nigiri! They also always make her kid chopsticks! The chicken hibachi and all the sushi is amazing! My favs so far are the UT roll and mango tango roll. My 8 year loves the California roll as it is a big piece of crab versus the crab salad. So grateful this place is close and delicious!!!

    Great little spot in the heart of Tellico Village. A little bit of a slow night and we were seated immediately. Service was quick and friendly. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The California role tasted like a bite of Spring on a brisk Fall evening. The chicken hibachi was juicy and flavorful, the rice was fresh and perfectly cooked and the vegetables were spot on. The entire staff and manager/owner were incredibly friendly and eager to please. This was my first trip but definitely not my last.

    Walking in late, to almost closing time, the staff was very friendly and welcomed us in with opened arms. Looking over the menu they have lots of sushi items and hibachi grill. We ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi that comes with a salad and mixed vegetables. The salad had lettuce with a straight ginger dressing, sweet tasting. The chicken and shrimp was really good. The vegetables were cooked well. Really enjoyed the family atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Thank you for coming to Tellico Village.

    Took the little missus for some Asian grub. Waitress was attentive and understood the menu and…read moregluten stuff. The unsweetened tea with lemon was like an old girlfriend: ice cold and bitter. The tempura shrimp and veggies were so so good. Three smaller shrimpies. Three onion rings. 147 sweet potato sticks. The dipping sauce was spot on. I ate every bike. The lil missis had the basil roll. Time at bit of shrimp and then basil... she was it was largely a tasteless salad. ( don't shoot the messenger) The drunken noodles were great. Spivey but not too Spicy for this white boy. My wife added more spice on one side. The other dish was lava hot. It came with peanuts and bean sprouts. It was sweet, just like my date. We shared the dishes and I liked hers and she liked mine. We argued about the drunken noodles. Why the name? Is the chef drunk or the noodles? We have no answer. We got the leftovers to go and vanished quietly in the night. This morning I looked in the fridge and smiled that knowing smile of what is to come tonight for dinner. Yup- leftover Asian food. What is not to like. I'll go again. You should too. The sushi looked great- maybe next time.

    My husband and I, along with our baby came in for lunch on a Saturday. When we came in the…read morerestaurant wasn't too busy but the people who were there seemed like locals and they were really enjoying the food. Always a good sign. We got sat and looked over the menu, one thing I thought was really nice was that they offered their lunch on a weekend. Not many places do that. We decided however to order their dinner for two which comes with two entrees and a choice of app or dessert. We got their fresh basil rolls and also got a cup of their tom yum soup to split. For entrees we got their phad Thai and yellow curry. The soup and basil rolls came out super fast. Both were delicious. The soup was light and flavorful with the ginger and lime really shining through. The basil rolls were also light and the sauce was great with it. The basil didn't overpower any of the other flavors and the shrimp was very fresh tasting not fishy at all. My husband had never tried either before and was really happy with both of them. The entrees were very well portioned (meaning we had amazing leftovers). The curry a a bit of spice but not too much and you could taste all the other flavors in it. The phad Thai was good it was a bit watery with the sauce but the flavor was there. The only complaint either of us had was that the chicken was a bit dry. But that was small compared to how good everything was. It was a great lunch. When we are back in Maryville which is often because my husband works there it's definitely a place I want to go again. They have great food and the prices and really good. Plus the service is awesome. Our server offered to box up our food for us when my husband was in the bathroom and I had our daughter in my lap because she wanted to make it easier for me which I really appreciated.

    What a great recommendation!!! first off I have spent quite…read morea while looking for fresh spring rolls... and then I was told Sticky Rice Café has them! They do and they are delicious... served with peanuts sauce, of course From the moment we walked in the energy, vibe and passion was apparent!! Our server was Tre... He asked us if we had eaten there before which we told him we had not so he took the time and explained the menu the food and also his favorite pics. He explained grandma's sauces and gave us a great education on the type of food that we would be ordering! After the spring rolls, my husband ordered the dinner portion of grilled pork chops. BIINGMOO and I ordered PAD KEE MAO.... This is wide noodles in an amazing sauce and you have your choice of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or tofu to be added. I chose beef......Tre brought three little dishes to sample three at grandma's sauces which all had amazing flavors with a little bit of heat... our meals were brought to us and of course we tasted each other's meals and we're amazed at the freshness, flavor and the size. Oh my goodness this is a place that if you enjoy fresh food with an Asian twist, you need to try it. Grandma sauces can be purchased as they are bottled for sale as well. Service was wonderful to go food going out the door was nonstop. And we were lucky enough to sit at the far back of the restaurant next to the kitchen, so we got to watch all of the different platings coming out.... And we just need to start at the top of the menu and work our way down because everything looks wonderful. Happy people, happy servers, great vibe. There is a bar off to the side, which basically was full the entire time we were there. Really a very nice experience five stars and two thumbs up!!!!

    Still great consistent service and tasty food. Truly an asset to Knoxville dining. We visited again…read moretoday and we have zero complaints. Since moving into the bigger location it's easier to be seated quickly. The dining room is welcoming, open and super clean. Everyone on staff is eager to help even if they are not your specific waitress. **Tip take home a jar of your favorite sauce. They sell them!
