Pretty decent mom and pop Thai restaurant near Delaware beaches. It's located in a small plaza where parking is available. As we entered, we were greeted by a couple and were seated with menu quickly. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday so it was still early for dinner. There were many empty tables but we noticed there were many to go's orders being picked up. We placed our order and it took about 25 plus minutes for our food to come. No big deal but note to others - there's a bit of a wait time for the chef. Food was pretty good. I had the chicken red curry and requested for medium spice and although it was too spicy for my family's taste, it was perfect for me. We also had the chicken green curry - another delicious dish. The pad kee mao noodles is good and the pad Thai is okay. I know pad thai is a popular Thai dish but out of the four dishes, it's my least favorite. I've had better pad Thai elsewhere. Again, it's still decent here. I would recommend coming here. Service was friendly. read more

We weren't really hungry, but really wanted Thai! We shared four appetizers, and left full. Service was great, food was even better! PS It was a *bargain*! read more

The location is easy to get to and it's very casual and eclectic inside. Staff is wonderful and very friendly. The mango sticky rice was amazing!! The pad Thai was not a winner though. Way too much lime juice that it overpowers the other flavors. It needs more balance. The spring rolls were average. I would go back but I'd try something different. read more

Cute little spot! I ordered takeout and everything was hot and ready right at the estimated time. I asked for extra spicy and they understood the assignment. I got the chicken satay, which had nice flavor, though the peanut sauce was just okay for me. I also ordered the ka prow with vegetables and the panang curry with chicken. The panang was loaded with chicken but had nothing else in the sauce, which felt a little incomplete. I added two orders of rice, bringing my total to $45. It's a bit odd that rice doesn't come with the meal, and I didn't love having to buy it separately, I enjoyed my meal and plan to try this restaurant again. read more

Not Thai, not Asian, not authentic. Indifferent service. Do they care if you come back?

Amazing service and the best Thai food!!! Everything was fresh and delicious, and served in a timely fashion. Highly recommended hidden gem! P.S. The bathroom was also the cleanest public restroom I've ever seen. read more

Just of learned of Sticky Rice a few days ago and so happy I did. This is legit, traditional Thai food (unlike some other places in the area). Not fusion. Not mass produced. Not a funky menu. It's, literally, a little, Thai lady cooking food from her homeland. The summer rolls are Thai, not Vietnamese. No noodles. No carrot. No pork. Thai style! Thai basil, shrimp and cilantro. Very fresh. The sweet, vinegar sauce was on point. The Lab Gai was tasty and tangy and spicy. It was served with shredded cabbage instead of lettuce cups but it worked! Served room temp/cold; I prefer it warmer. It had excellent, but not overpowering, heat. The Green Curry was off the charts! Creamy, sweet, spicy and delicious! Great amount of chicken and eggplant. Plating was odd; like a cereal bowl but again it worked! Rice was extra. Nigel the server was welcoming and attentive. The chef came out to the table as well (always a good thing). I did notice another employee eating in the customer area (another review mentioned this as well) and it was a little ...uncomfortable....but hey! It's a family style, Thai place and I was sort of off-hours for lunch, anyway. So...ok! Don't miss this place! Oh..and if it's not to your liking, Capriotti's is next door for an Italian sub. $51 (incl 1 beer) + tip read more

Great food! Definitely try the Sticky Rice with mango. It's awesome. Shay our server was terrific. Very sweet.

Place is a little small, so consider carry-out option. The Panang curry is mouth-watering delicious, especially with the heat. The fried rice with vegetables is delicious too, and a great option for non-meat eaters or those who don't want spicy flavors. read more

The food was incredible! The spring rolls were wonderful and the beef dumplings were delicious. I got the fried rice and it was very savory and perfectly cooked! The staff were extremely nice and the service was incredible. The restaurant is very cozy and cultural and overall the restaurant is definitely worth trying! read more

They cheap out on meat in your order. I don't Recommend them. Quality NO GOOD! Don't order, you will be sad!!!!!!!!!!

We ordered takeout Tom Yum soup. It was our 1st time ordering at this restaurant; we're trying new cuisines. I don't like to give bad reviews. The flavor deserves a 5, but the woody, inedibles and the unexpected sediment at the bottom of bowl I won't excuse. read more

The atmosphere here is quiant and nicely decorated, albeit small with tables being close together. Our server was very sweet and attentive. The food was really good, with authentic Thai flavors. The issue: the portions. The resturant has attached the name tapas to thier title. This implies small plates, which is exactly what you get, despite ordering a full meal entree. My companion ordered the summer rolls. These were completely filled with lettuce (no noodles) and looked unappetizing. She did not enjoy. We both ordered the drunken noodles. She ordered extra veggies, and I ordered chicken. Mine had very little chicken, and the portion size was small. I also ordered the mussaman curry chicken. This was the smallest curry portion size I've ever received from the dozens of Thai restaurants I've been too. The portion of rice, was actually equal to the portion of curry. It was kind of insulting based on the prices of the entrees. Seems like they're cashing in on the tourism in the area. We traveled from Ocean City Maryland to try this place out, but will not do so again. read more

Food was just ok, nothing special. Service was very good, but we were the only ones there at the time. Restaurant is small and geared more for takeout service. Very dark and kind of shabby environment read more

Even if the food was fantastic - it was average - I would never order from sticky rice again because of the teeny tiny portions. I have had side dishes in larger containers and I had to pay $3 for that mini container of rice. See my pictures. read more

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. I have returned numerous times and the food and service never disappoints

Everyone was totally correct = portion size is sooooo small not worth the the $& -watch out -me

Good. Seems a little expensive for smaller sizes, but not too bad. I got Pad See Ew (veg) and thought it was okay. Veggies mostly broccoli and mushroom with a little carrot, and noodles seemed overcooked/mushy. I also got Red Curry with Chicken. Pretty spicy (2 peppers), fairly tasty, chicken a little overcooked/dry but overall, good. One I get back in Lancaster is a little less sharp in flavor, and I prefer that. The mango sticky rice was delicious. Taking another dessert home for my hubby, along with leftovers. Got takeout, but young man was pleasant greeting me, got food in about 15 minutes. Decorated cute inside- may eat there next time. read more

I like the sticky rice with grilled pork. The price of the food is reasonable, but I feel guilty as if I disturbed the staff while they were eating. I would like to suggest that the restaurant provide seats for the staff so that they do not have to face the customers who come to eat in the restaurant. I don't hate them but I feel sorry for them. read more

I ordered the chicken pad Thai and I got a serving for a baby the service was ok and the vibe was off read more

Drunken noodle were great - flavorful, noodles were cooked perfectly, also pretty spicy which I liked. But as many other reviews have mentioned, the portions are ridiculously small. Which would be fine if the prices were reasonable, but $17 for an appetizer-sized drunken noodles isn't acceptable just because the restaurant wants to save on costs. Adding "tapas" to your name doesn't justify the small portion either. read more

we got the drunken noodles and pad see ew and they were both delicious! we asked for it spicy and it was definitely very spicy and flavorful. will definitely be back. the ambiance was also very cute and the service was fast. read more

Sticky Rice - drunken noodles - Thai Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Went on a road trip to Rehoboth, DE with my family and Sticky Rice was right by our hotel, so we dined in on our first night. We were greeted by a friendly couple who may have been the owners (they are not Thai btw). We ordered a green curry with rice, satay chicken skewers, spring rolls, pad siew and a papaya salad. The latter looked a bit odd and the spring roll platter was so tiny you can easily miss them, but everything else was delicious. The green curry was very spicy but so so good. If you can't handle hear make sure you order them milder. read more

I had the Larb salad and that is decent, though quite small. I also ordered the Summer Roll which consisted of a huge packed bunch of plain lettuce with 3 small shrived 1.5" shrimps per roll and it was wrapped in the rice paper roll. (2 rolls per order). It was beyond dry and tasteless. The sauce that came with it was also terrible and I'll bet came out of a bottle of sweet spicy syrup. Can't believe I paid $8 for a tasteless wad of packed lettuce that they call a summer roll. Both went straight into the garbage. I have had the Pad See Ew about 2 years ago and that was very tasty (and spicy) but the portion is very small and it is pricey for the size. read more

We are foodies, and ate here today for the first time today. This play rocks! We ate dumplings, beef and chicken skewers, and an eggplant dish that was fresh, flavorful and spicy. Highly recommend! read more

That food was not good! The summer roll was full of lettuce and the rice paper was very chewy, not good at all. The chicken satay is nothing like I'm used to having. The chicken spring rolls was good but very tiny. The only thing I enjoyed was the shrimp pad Thai. Glad we only spent $35 read more

Echoing the many reviews calling out the ridiculously small portions that they cynically label "tapas style Thai." Babe, you either have no idea what that means or you think you're clever charging so much for so little, and not even good quality. Beach area piss-take I guess. Service was appalling when we went. read more

Sticky Rice is a lovely, cozy restaurant! I love the decor and vibe in here, it's so tastefully and colorfully done with beautiful pictures, knick-knacks, fabrics, souvenirs, books, etc from Thailand. I've eaten here twice now--once for takeout and once as a dine-in. It's a quick walk/drive from the hotel that we usually stay at when we are in town. The food is top-notch--we ordered thai iced teas, fried rice with shrimp, chicken in "brown sauce" (it's literally called brown sauce), and the knom jeeb. All delicious and my kids ate it too. Service was friendly but seemed a little slow and nonchalant, and we had to keep asking for things. It wasn't a huge deal because we were the only ones there at an odd hour so it was easy to get the servers eye. Also I have a pet peeve of why places would upcharge for rice--seems that should be included with the wet/gravy dishes automatically the way it is at the majority of thai restaurants. However, I would hands down come back here the next time we're in town! read more

Amazing pad thai, chicken with brown sauce, and Tom yum chicken! Portions are smallish on purpose, but I think are bigger than tapas....

First time here and won't be last, overall excellent food. We did take out but this place is so cute will eat in next time. We kept the order basic. Spring rolls, 2 small ones. Very good. Chicken Satay also very good but only 3 very small pieces ( menu says 4). Delish. Shrimp Pad Thai- bursting with flavor. So so good. Shrimp overcooked but still really food. Chicken pad see ew- AMAZING! Overall a very good experience $34.00 and plenty of food for 2 hungry adults. It's really nice to have a very good local owned and operated Thai place 5 minutes away. I couldn't be happier ! read more

While Sticky Rice has an unassuming storefront in a small shopping complex, it was a pleasant and cozy place to dine. When we arrived the restaurant was empty and we were seated immediately. The inside is decorated with bohemian and Thai-style furnishings and there is a very fun mural of different Thai dishes all across the back wall of the main dining area. There was traditional Thai music playing softly in the background which made for a nice ambiance. We started with the papaya salad which was a crunchy, sweet, and sour mix of shredded papaya and shredded cabbage with a generous sprinkling of crushed peanuts. It was a great portion for two people to split as an appetizer. For our mains, my partner and I ordered the Panang curry with pork with a side of steamed rice and the pad see ew with beef to share. The curry came in a small but deep cup and had a nice depth of flavor but a bit too much lemongrass for my taste-- just a little less would have been perfect. The pad see ew was a large portion and had some nice al dente sauteed greens for added taste and texture. We had half of these dishes each and felt contentedly full (but not stuffed) afterwards. Our server was attentive but didn't hover which was nice since it is such a small space. We were the only people to dine in, but there were a lot of folks who came for pickup orders so it seems like they do pretty good business. Overall our check was $30 before tip, and I feel that was fair for the experience. We had a nice time and I would recommend giving this place a try! read more

Panang curry was great but the lemongrass overwhelmed the dish. Couldnt taste much else. Rice was fine. Pad Thai was nothing exceptional.

Sticky Rice - Pad Thai chicken - Thai Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Sticky Rice is a delicious new restaurant which opened up in the Lewes/Rehoboth Beach area. This small family-owned business specializes in Thai, Isaan (Northeast Thailand region), and Lao cuisine. Chef Ning serves up authentic dishes that taste like you were actually in Thailand. I am truly impressed by the quality and flavors, since it can be difficult to get certain rare Southeast Asian ingredients in the beach area. Everything I have ordered here has been absolutely amazing. I love all their noodle dishes. My top favorites entrees are the Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). I love that they use fresh authentic wide flat rice noodles, very similar to ho fun/chow fun noodles. I also love that the Pad See Ew uses authentic kai-lan (Thai: pak ka na) Chinese broccoli in the recipe. I also really enjoyed the Pad Thai. The stir-fried thin rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, vegetables mixed with their secret homemade Pad Thai sauce with chopped peanuts on top is amazing! I saw that one Yelper left a negative review because the restaurant does not provide chopsticks. If anyone is curious about Thai culture dining etiquette/tradition, Thai people do not generally use chopsticks, their main utensils are forks and spoons. You hold the spoon in your right hand and the fork in the left hand, and then use the two to scoop food into the spoon to eat. I would highly recommend you get takeout here (since indoor dining is closed due to COVID-19). You can call ahead. Everything is made fresh to order. The owner is such a nice person and the servers here are very friendly. Everyone had mask, gloves, practiced physical/social distancing, and they had hand sanitizer available. I plan on coming back regularly! read more

Food was very good! The owner is from northeast Thailand- anyone who is Thai or enjoys Asian cuisine knows dishes differ based on region. I grew up eating Thai/Laos food so this was a great find for me. I ordered a few items to take on the beach and sample. Pad Thai: 5 stars!! Perfect blend of EVERYTHING! They also use these cute cardboard Chinese containers. Doesn't look like much but once u start eating it's def filling. Beef fried rice: def didn't care for it. Tasted very salty but lacking flavor. Idk if it didn't have oyster sauce or sweet soy sauce or what but I had to doctor it up. Fried spring rolls: delicious!! And the sauce OMGGGG !! Som Tum (papaya salad) and sticky rice: it was very good and sweet. However I asked for spicy and they didn't follow thru so that was disappointing. But I saved some for next day and it was soooo good! Cons: the guy taking orders is not Thai, he was super duper friendly but extremely slow. When I came to p/u order another customer was waiting and he was taking phone order literally wasting the next 10 mins telling someone they don't have generals tso chicken and that is Chinese. Needless to say the waiting customer left n had I not been so excited to eat I would've left too. Also, NO CHOPSTICKS *insert weird face here* the waiter told me the owner doesn't want that and I'm like HOW?!?! I hope they are not catering to Americans with that move I was disappointed. Also, no drinks available had to go to Dollar Gen across street. Prices were reasonable. Wait time was not. Good was worth it though. Very very small space inside if they open after COVID but I will def return! read more

Had takeout from here and the food was pretty good. The Panang shrimp was very good, just a bit sweet. Summer rolls were very good and fresh. I would not recommend the Pad Thai, it was way too sweet and not a lot of other flavor besides sugar. The side of steamed rice is very small so keep that in mind if you need extra rice. read more
