Really disappointing experience tonight. I ordered the red curry, which was so overwhelmingly spicy that I couldn't eat it. I also found a large, extremely hard, wood-like piece in my entrée. I called the restaurant because I genuinely thought they should know. I was told the hard piece was a root they intentionally use for flavor in their curries. That may be the case, but this was a large, rock-hard piece left in the finished dish, and I was concerned I could have damaged a tooth had I bitten down on it. What was most disappointing was the response. Rather than apologizing or offering to replace or refund a meal I had to throw away, every concern I raised was simply explained away--including being told that red curry is spicy and I shouldn't order it next time. I wasn't looking to make a big deal out of this. A simple, "We're sorry you had that experience; let us make it right," would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, that wasn't the response I received.

I loved the food here. A delicious find for someone craving some variety beyond standard stuff. The owner really knows what he's doing. He's created his own unique dishes and took the time to help me pick out the perfect dish for my tastes. I was craving veggies, so I got the "Bamboozled" with chicken, and the bamboo shoots were so good in it. Vegetables in it were neither over or undercooked and very flavorful. Generous portion. Best food I found in Nebraska. Whether you love meat or want vegetarian food, there's plenty of choices.

Had a great experience here! The drunken noodles (which I ordered extra spicy with beef) were so flavorful, though I would have liked the noodles with a bit more chew. The egg rolls were really nice and crispy. I also tried the sticky rice nuggets with beef jerky, out of curiosity, and I'll say if you are considering them, I'd recommend just getting the sticky rice NOT in nugget form. It's not bad, it just takes away some of the texture I look for in sticky rice. But all in all I was really happy with my meal. The wait wasn't too long once my order was in, though next time, I plan to order ahead, as the restaurant is basically a kitchen with a counter and a few chairs to sit at to wait for your food. This really is a takeout only place. I'll definitely be coming back, and I'm excited to try more dishes!

YUMMMM! Coming from the vibrant, diverse cuisine scene of Los Angeles CA & being new to this state, can I just say I am SO stoked to have found Sticky Rice! What a hidden gem found in the heartland of America; this place satisfied my craving for Thai food so entirely, I came back twice in a week and a half. (Devoured it too fast the first time for pictures). Sticky Rice is every bit authentic and delicious as any food, especially Thai food, made from the heart should be. I recommend ordering online over calling in your order because the cashier seems quite shy/softspoken and there is a convenient drive thru as this is not a sit down & eat establishment.

I stop at Sticky Rice every time I go through Grand Island. It's worth straying 10 minutes from the highway. The Pad Woon Sen and Pad Krapow from this little takeout spot are two of my favorite dishes...ever. Sticky Rice isn't just a gem, it's a revelation.

I wanna start out by saying that I'm new to grand island and just moved out here in April of this year, I'm from KC, so Thai food and other ethnic cuisine was on my menu every week. So when looking for a place in Grand Island that was enjoyable, the first few Chinese restaurants just didn't really cut it. I wanted Thai food, specifically craving pad Thai. It's definitely a comfort food of mine and I'm very picky. Sticky Rice not only makes the best pad Thai I've ever had, they also have introduced me to other Thai and Laotian food. I'm a picky eater but I would eat anything from this place. Truly. On their website they explain every delicious detail of the origin on their food and what it can be compared to. They allow you to customize your "heat level" for each dish and it's actually the most accurate measurements of spice I've ever encountered getting pad Thai. The food is not stained with red chill powder and the flavors balance out so freaking wonderfully. Their curry is also to die for, as well as their signature rice which is easy on the stomach and great to eat as a filling snack. The most recent thing I've tried is the TOM KAH with chicken which is this warm delicious coconut soup. The small shop is close to home and is open reasonable hours. The inside is very cute and has lovely snake plants as well as seating to wait for your food if you wish. Using Uber eats as pick up, (which is mainly what I do to order here) is fast and efficient with kind service every time we go. My grandmother and I eat here at least twice a week if we can. And the portions of food always allow for delicious and easy leftovers. I absolutely recommend this place 100% for newbies and old towners.

easy location, great parking

Unexpectedly good real z sushi for central Nebraska. Really only the "big 3" as far as raw fish,…read morebut it was nice that they had offerings that weren't just cooked imitation crab rolls. Excellent spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls with quality fish. What impressed me most about my most recent visit (I've been here 4 or so times) was how the staff performed. They were clearly short staffed (like most businesses are right now) but they did amazing with what staff they had. Real hustle from everyone, the 4 people they had worked like 8 handling a full restaurant at lunch rush. I will make this a lunch stop every time I'm in Hastings!

First I want to say that you can't watch them cook in front of you. Not sure why I thought it could…read morebe one of those types of restaurants. One kid ordered salmon and liked it so much she ate half of my salmon portion. Overall portions are on the smaller side except for the fried rice that was a generous portion. Unfortunately we didn't really like the fried rice. It was more of a Chinese fried rice than Japanese fried rice. The veggies included were very flavorful and I ate my kids portion and my own. The hibachi dinners did not include soup or salad that is included in most hibachi dinners at other Japanese restaurants. The Golden Mango and Ocean roll sushi we ordered was good and I would order them again. Overall service was good. Ambiance was nice too.
