I was headed back from Fairfield at 3:30p, but I was at a long appointment over lunchtime. I didn't want to make the trip in the rain hungry. I found this place close to the highway. It was lovely. I was greeted within a few moments, and seated at a table if my choosing due to the timing of when I was there. Other than the TV on at the bar, which I could hear in the dining area, it was pretty quiet with a chill vibe. I chose the eggplant and tofu. They even had brown rice available as a side--a rarity at Chinese restaurants in the area based on my experience. The staff was very pleasant, too. read more

Sticky Rice Chinese Bistro & Bar, Fairfield: 2026 Apr 28 (1.375 of 5) WE GOT SCOLDED by the manager! I was at the counter paying the bill when the manager approached my dinner guests. She intimidated them by asking loudly why they were wasting food by not eating. My guests said they didn't enjoy the food, to which she replied that they're wasting food. How could anyone enjoy food that's inedible? She certainly did not give cause for us or our friends to step inside that eatery again. (1 of 5) Grace, server: Poor Grace looked pressured. She tried her best to accommodate us but I think she was 'shut-down' by her boss. I decided the restaurant did not deserve a tip but our server did so I pushed the tip inside her pocket. Grace mentioned that the chef is new and she would try and see if they can do something with our check. They did not and even raise the cost on one of the dishes we ordered. The price on the menu is lower that what they charged. This was an eatery we frequented for years and we usually enjoy the food here. Since we moved, we haven't visited it but our family still lives in that neighborhood so we decided to meet there for dinner. They don't take reservations but the eatery was half empty for a dinner-time seating. We sat down and was presented with their menu, which haven't changed much so it was easy to order our meal. We ordered Crab Wonton, Potstickers, Singapore-style Rice Noodles, Orange Chicken, Bulgogi. None of the dishes came with rice, so we ordered a bowl of rice. One of our guests wanted wine. Our server said the wine menu is not available, so we decided to get the house-wine. Our server returned to say the bartender is not on duty and we couldn't get even the house wine. I asked for hot water which never arrived. (1 of 5) Crab Wonton: This fried appetizer should have a crispy exterior filled with a creamy, savory mixture of cream cheese and crab meat (whether real or imitation). They are deep-fried until golden and served with sweet-and-sour sauce. The subtle seafood flavor is not quite there and the filling did not fill the parcel. The sauce here could be found on any grocery shelf but that's okay. I opened up the rest of the wonton for two reasons: (1) I wanted to see if some of them were filled, and (2) to make sure they don't serve these to unsuspecting diners. (1 of 5) Potstickers: These crescent-shaped dumplings should feature a savory filling with cabbage and ginger. They are pan-fried to produce a golden, crispy bottom and then steamed, creating a tender top, resulting in a dual-texture, savory, and aromatic bite. Although the dumplings looked good on the outside, it tasted gooey - not juicy. (1 of 5) Singapore-style Rice Noodles: I was very disappointed with my order. It tasted like the chef just poured curry powder over the top instead of cooking it in. It tasted gritty and the noodles lacked any savory nor aromatic notes. It should have a slightly spicy curry flavor but I did not taste any of that. There was no smoky or comforting yumminess to this dish. I feel that even a few drops of soy sauce would have elevated this dish - giving it an umami taste. I'm giving it a 2 because they used the right noodles. (2 of 5) Orange Chicken: This bite-sized pieces of battered, fried chicken tossed in a sweet, tangy, and savory orange-flavored sauce should boast a crispy, sticky texture with a bright citrus aroma from orange juice and zest. Instead, it had none of the garlicky, gingery, or slightly heated profile. There was no depth nor flavor at all. The dish wasn't well-balanced. (1 of 5) Bulgogi: This was the best dish we tasted this evening. The meat was tender and cut correctly. It had a mild and savory marinade but was under-seasoned. It missed the garlicky and nutty caramelized, smoky flavor. It came ala carte, like the orange chicken we ordered. They didn't even offer lettuce leaves, which usually accompany bulgogi. (2 of 5) Rice: Like the name says, the rice was on the sticky side - but cooked through. (3 of 5) read more

I called ahead and ordered the spicy crispy tofu. I even specified EXTRA spicy. HUGE disappointment. There is nothing spicy or crispy about this entree. The vegetables are super bland, there is nothing spicy or even a hint of crispness on the tofu & it is all thrown together in a thick sweet sauce. In short, the title of the entreé is misleading. Just call it what it is, not what it's not. UGH. It was a pick up order so I did not pay attention to anything beyond the food. read more

First off...I came in to enjoy some honey chicken with my man, i'm big mama so i love to eat. The honey chicken is the best thing on the menu but unfortunately I had a horrible experience here today. This old asian lady is gonna greet me rudely by not smiling or welcoming me in. then as she sits us at a table she asks do I need a bigger seat. I know i'm big mama but that gives her no reason to shame me for my weight because I'm the one keeping their business up by all the times i've ordered food here. On top of that she yells at a worker in front of everyone and I find that unprofessional. Then she goes around bothering people while they eat constantly reminding them on tipping her. How annoying, we can't even enjoy our meals. Along with all this negativity , I found an asian pubic hair in my chai tea. Moral of the story me and my man left and won't be returning. Never coming back, they need more training. #tellmeaboutit #Oldho VS #Youngho read more

My boyfriend and I had a very uncomfortable experience dining here. As soon as we sat down, the older Asian woman who appeared to be the owner or manager told us that tipping was required in order to dine in. This immediately made us feel pressured and unwelcome. Tipping should be optional and based on the quality of service, not something customers are told they must do before they even order. The way this was brought up felt very unprofessional. I also noticed her yelling at a younger Asian male employee before we came in, which made the atmosphere feel even more uncomfortable. The way she appeared to treat both employees and customers was unprofessional and disappointing. It seems like more training in customer service and professionalism is needed. On top of that, the food tasted very different this time and something just did not seem right. Between the uncomfortable service and the quality of the food, we were very unhappy with our visit. My boyfriend and I also felt that we were treated differently because we are a gay Black couple. Whether intentional or not, the atmosphere made us feel discriminated against and uncomfortable. All customers deserve to be treated with respect and made to feel welcome. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here, and because of this, we will not be returning. read more

So we started out house shopping on the side of the bridge in rodeo and we decided to go look at a places in the Cordelia area. When we arrived, we wanted something good to eat and something that was really close by. And of course had a full bar. Looking on yelp, I saw this place and thought why not give it a try even though it has three stars. Sometimes I still give it a try even though the rating is OK because you never know people's taste. Driving up to this location we were kind of confused because it is literally in a business center. The bathroom is located in the hallway so you have to exit the restaurant if you need to use the restroom. We walked in and it seems very nice and clean, and there were a lot of people already dining. There's a cool fountain in the patio. We were greeted by the hostess, who sat us at the bar per our request. It seemed like there were only two people working because the servers/bartenders was really the one helping us. As we were seated, we were told that we could only have beer and wine. As the bartender came up, I asked her if she was able just to pour gin and she said yes I was pretty surprised that you have a full bar but yet you can't seem to offer full beverages. The server was extremely nice. She handed us the menus. We looked over lots of choices. The prices were really on point. We ordered the calamari. These come out as a little rings so you don't get any of the tentacles. So if you're looking for tentacles, do not get this. The calamari was overcooked and really rubbery. But it came out with some chipotle, mayo, and some sweet sauce. As we were still hungry, we ordered the chow mein that's on the menu. I couldn't believe that it was only $11! Not only was it $11! The chow mein was actually a mixture of pork chicken and shrimp. The pork was definitely overcooked. The chicken was OK and the shrimp was OK as well. There was some great texture and taste to the noodles. But nothing great. What I come back to this restaurant, that would be a negative. If I'm looking for some mediocre cheap Chinese food this place is definitely at your place to go. Our check came out about $70 with the tip included. read more

Sticky Rice - Stuffed eggplant - Chinese Near Me - Fairfield, California

Back twice last week. Both times the draw was their late hours. Sunday for Father's day dinner with hubby after work. Wednesday after a impromptu shopping trip with sis and cousin. I like their crispy shrimp and scallops but I have to get the sauce on the side. Egg drop soup was good. Fried rice nice...needed a little garlic and soy sauce. I always ask for some hot mustard and chili oil when I sit down cuz I know I'mma need that extra little seasoning for my dishes. On Sunday the bar is open but neither my husband or I wanted a drink however on Wednesday when we went with the girls I did want to drink and tomorrow was closed the bartender had called off. Boo for the bartender. I also like the appetizer of the tofu fries and I had a nice like spicy peanut sauce that was good as well. Everything we ordered on Wednesday was pretty good it's a lot of food. Both times I went with hubby and the girls we spent about $75 which is not bad with the tip I like $90 so. read more

Had lunch today with my dear friend and former boss, her sister and nephew. The boy is 26 with the mind of a 3 year old? He does well in restaurant settings, but is prone to occasional outbursts. Our server was so kind and patient with us. I thank her for that. The food is consistent great too! I love the Prawn Cakes. Get them. As it was a cold and rainy day I chose the Wor Wonton Soup. It was good, but not great? It needed a better level of chicken flavor IMHO. We also shared an order of Veggie and Meat Eggrolls. The meat ones had a faint but yummy 5 spice flavor, but my favorites were the veggie ones. I wound up bringing over half the soup and 2 Prawn Cakes home. Hubby asked me to bring back an order of their amazing Cherry Pork and Fried Rice. Holy Moly it was a lot and only $25.00. (SEE PICS). Thank you SR for everything today. read more

We stopped by for a late lunch since it's right across from Costco. They offer lunch specials until 3 PM, and the prices are very affordable. Here's my review: Service: Amazing! I didn't get our server's name, but she was great--very friendly and attentive. She checked on us often, and we were greeted within a couple minutes of sitting down. Our food came out fast, roughly 5-7 minutes after ordering. Ambiance: From the outside, it almost looks like a hotel rather than a restaurant. Inside, it's clean, bright, and overlooks a nice water fountain. The bathrooms are also clean and well kept. Value: Portions are generous, even with the lunch specials. You get a cup of rice plus soup or salad, which makes it an even better deal. The single entrées are also reasonably priced. Compared to other Chinese restaurants I've been to, this is one of the most affordable. Food: Everything arrived hot. The calamari was crunchy and well seasoned. The crispy pork lived up to its name and had great flavor. The cherry pork, however, tasted similar to a mix of orange chicken and sweet-and-sour chicken--good, but not unique. Something seemed missing, so I'd give the food 4 out of 5 stars. Overall: I recommend this place and would definitely come back! read more

I've tried in person. I've tried ordering take out. The main feature of this restaurant is that they make you WAIT. I've been left on hold for so long the last two times I tried ordering take out that I'll never try again - I never even got to place an order either time. The time I did manage to leave the restaurant with a takeout order, I had to wait 15 minutes to place it in person, but thankfully it came out pretty quickly. I once sat in the restaurant with my kids for almost 30 minutes before the server who sat me and told me to wait for MY server finally came over and took the order. The food is generally well above average - but the service is SO bad that I just want to tell the owner to fire everybody in the front of the house and start all over. Their unhappiness gives the place an air of misery, stress and bitterness that no amount of lovely decor and the nice view could ever overcome. I've never even seen a person acting like a manager, so maybe that's the problem. Unless you are an incredibly patient soul, save yourself the hassle and go eat Chinese food somewhere else. read more

I can't speak on the ambiance or the service because I actually did Door Dash because I was home alone and hungry and remembered being told how good the appetizers were at Sticky Rice. I ordered the crab ragoon and the pork pot stickers and they were both delicious. I have to say that my favorite was the crab ragoon. They were still really warm when they arrived and they were extremely creamy and so delicious and definitely could taste the crab in them. Next time will have to eat in. read more

STICKY RICE is a Chinese bistro and bar located in a business park in Fairfield, CA. A top favorite for my In-laws to break bread and gather with friends & family. The water fountains inside and out provide a pleasant ambiance. Menu items we regularly order are: Won Ton Soup - savory broth with delicate wonton and green onions. A great starter, especially during the winter season. Seafood Nest - made with prawns, calamari, scallops & sliced fish with mixed vegetables served on a nest of crispy noodles. I personally like it when there's extra gravy to soften the noodles. Service is always friendly and food is prepared fresh and delivered promptly. The restaurant is located across the street from Costco, so we always make it a point to grab a bite here after we've worked up an appetite from shopping. read more

Sadly, this restaurant isn't as good as it used to be. Was pretty empty except for a few big groups that came through. Was staffed well, but honestly, the bus boy was more attentive than our waitress and she smelled dirty. She came through after someone else took our order. Then just put our food down and didn't pay attention to who ordered what. Portions were good. Flavors were alright, but the dishes really seemed to be lacking in substance. We had a salad and an appetizer as our main dishes and that was $26. It's about a mile from home, but it would not be my local spot. read more

My family and I love this place and my most fave thing to order is their honey walnut prawns and Mongolian beef. We love coming for their lunch specials, probably one of the best in town. Their Happy Hour menu is pretty solid too with the selections they have to offer, it's just hit or miss depending if they have a bartender that day. But when they do, it's definitely worth it! Ambiance is really nice, as this restaurant is located on the bottom floor of a business building with the dining area facing the fountain. Nice and clean and the service is always quick. read more

We're fairly new to Fairfield, coming from San Francisco, and honestly, we were a little hesitant to try out any Chinese restaurants in the area (I've been traumatized before, lol). The menu here wasn't super traditional, there were Thai items mixed in but we ordered what sounded good, and were pleasantly surprised! What we ordered: Bird's Nest Noodles - Looked great and tasted even better! Crispy and flavorful. 8.5/10 Sizzling Rice Soup - Tasty, but not quite enough crispy rice for my liking. Still enjoyable. 7/10 Basil Dishes - Good flavor but leaned a bit oily. Hunan Chicken - Classic Chinese-American go-to. The service was genuinely great. Even though they were busy, the staff was attentive and quick to bring anything we needed without us having to wait or ask twice. The interior was a fun surprise, definitely more modern and unique than I expected, with a bar area that adds a cool vibe. All in all, I'd definitely come back and am excited to try more dishes. A nice spot for a casual but satisfying dinner! read more

My brother and I like coming here because it's a convenient location. It's near costco and near the freeway. We came on a weekday. It took a while for the staff to notice that we were there. my brother kept saying hello? We were seated but it took a while for them to take our order even though they were not busy. we ordered the orange prawns and salt and pepper pork loin. the salt and pepper pork loin was too dry. I loved the size of the prawns but the orange sauce just tasted very artificial. We loved the taste of the mushrooms and bokchoy. That was our favorite dish. The water tasted like tap so I ordered a diet coke. It had a weird aftertaste and there wasn't enough carbonation. The ambiance is nice here, but I probably won't come back for a little while. read more

One of the best meals we've had from a Chinese Restaurant in a while. We had Crab Lagoons, Chicken Wings, Combination Fried Rice, Combination Chow Mein, Mongolian Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns. Everything was very good. The Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns were the stars though. Their Fried Rice had a good amount of meat in it and had that good wok char flavor to it. Most Mongolian Beef is just packed with onions, this actually had a good amount of beef and had a little more spice than most places which I enjoyed. The Honey Walnut Prawns are some of the best I've ever had. Prices and portions were also very good. We will definitely be ordering take out from there more often. read more

This place is a hit or a miss. My favorite thing to get is Hunan chicken & honey walnut shrimp, I always go back. They must have different chefs as the flavor is not always consistent with the hunan chicken sauce which is a bummer, but I'm still hooked. Fried rice is good aswell as the soup (hot & sour).

Very unassuming on the outside, but the inside looked like a hotel entrance (and smelled like one too - the good kind). Service was prompt and friendly. Food: Tofu fries $12 - it's very good, and came with 3 sauces (sweet chili, peanut curry, and garlic aioli). Cherry chicken $14 - there was no cherry in there LOL; tastes like sweet and sour chicken. Was good; could be crispier. Sticky fried rice $14 - not actually sticky rice; more like yang chow fried rice. Thought it was a little bit bland but maybe that's because everything else on the table was just so flavorful. Ended the meal with a generous amount of fortune cookies (that came along with the bill). Overall: WOULD COME AGAIN, chef knows his stuff. 10/10. Definitely recommend the tofu fries; might try the seafood nest next time ($22). They also have a bar, but it seems to close earlier than the restaurant. read more

I have been passing by Sticky Rice for years finally sat down for Lunch after meeting up with a friend at their bar. It was unusual to see a restaurant as you enter a building of office spaces but it was a nice set-up with views, a separate area for private parties, and a full bar. Kitchen was visible, place was clean with modern decor; would not even think it's a Chinese Restaurant based on that. Their menu is a combination of traditional and creative dishes, serving sizes are good for 3-4 people, especially when at least 6 dishes are ordered. We have sampled multiple dishes, which consists of rice, beef, chicken, pork, veggies, noodles and all were delicious! My pictures don't due justice. Fast service, food is served hot! Hospitable staff too. I am very surprised by the average yelp rating. It does not reflect why there is constant flow of customers the times we were there; which patrons would agree with me that their food is really good! It seems there were regulars too as the employees knew them by name. Prices are reasonable for its quality and ambiance. Highly recommend Sticky Rice to satisfy any Chinese food craving! It sure is worth the 10 miles drive from Vallejo. read more

Peak growing up in Fairfield culture for me is going to the mall to hangout, the Jelly Belly factory to take friends and relatives on a free tour when they visit, and to Sticky Rice after any Catholic elementary school event like someone's confirmation or communion. This restaurant been around for as long as my parents can remember! I hadn't been to Sticky Rice in maybe 8 years until my cousin's birthday last night. We tried a wide variety of dishes, my choice being the walnut pineapple prawns because it's the only one I could remember liking from before. Although it was my fave thing I ate, the quality dropped a lot from what I had before and I think they switched up their recipe. The other dish I really enjoyed was the baby bok choy and mushrooms. Everything else was unfortunately pretty mid, and comparable to the quality of any standard Chinese takeout spot. While nothing was bad, I would still expect more from a restaurant that is a little bit more upscale and contemporary than a casual place for takeout. The service was also a bit inattentive and slow, but it's understandable because there were several large groups on a Friday night after a local high school graduation. Overall, I wouldn't choose to come back over other more solid restaurant options in Fairfield. read more

Reserved this place for a big dinner party for a friend's birthday they accommodated over 15 people which was phenomenal. We tried to think of the best way to do family style so we ended up ordering a couple dishes for the table to share. The food came out very quickly and restaurant was able to serve all dietary restrictions. In the attached picture is the chow mein with wide thick noodles. The flavor was not too salty not too sweet, which is just the way I like it. We did order the mango sticky rice for dessert and that was a 1/5. The "mango" part was not mango chunks nor slices, it was mango purée which I can taste was artificial. Also, there was a hair in one of the mango sticky rices, but the waiters were OK with replacing it. All in all swing by Sticky Rice to book for parties of 15+. read more
