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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are so impressed! And we've visited Thailand and visited many Thai restaurants around the world. This is hands down the best Thai we have eaten since a sweet place by Wat Arun in Bangkok!! Sorry no pic this time but for sure we will be long time customers going forward. We ordered Chicken Panang, Beef Green Curry & Tom Kha Lemongrass soup. All three were fantastic. The most striking thing about each dish was the amazing flavor balance among the sweet, savory and spice all due to precise preparation and fresh tasty ingredients. We are impressed. The Sticky Rice owners are kind communicative people. You have our loyalty read more

In the mood for over priced, small portioned, mediocre asian? Well have I got the place for you.

I was thoroughly disappointed. The noodles in the Drunken Noodle was a pile of mush. The steamed broccoli I ordered for my 2yr old grand had black and brown spots all throughout. I really can go on about the low quality of the prepared food but I won't. The server was phenomenal. She really did a great job offering stellar service read more

This place is unbelievable. Although I've never been to Thailand, I've tried countless Thai restaurants in New York City and Philadelphia and this place is m my number one, best Thai I've ever had. Here's why- The curry isn't 80% soup. When you go to typical restaurants and get Panang curry, it's a coconut milk soup mixture with a few pieces of chicken. At sticky rice it is MOUNDS of perfectly cooked chicken with just enough seasoning to coat the rice. I appreciate this not just for value, but for the fact that I eat literally every bit. The seasoning itself is so multifaceted. For the panang and green curry, the sweetness and spice hits you and just rocks your senses. It's not one dimensional. My mouth is watering as I write this. The spice is on point and not for the faint of hearts. But it's a different type of spice- not one that burns, but one that sort of evolves as you chew. The noodles are great- particularly the drunken noodles- but the curry really takes the cake. This is the first spot we come to everytime we arrive in town. The place is small and family owned, so be realistic with takeout orders and timing. Pro tip- order in advance - say 3 pm for a 6pm pickup. Thank you sticky rice for rocking my world read more

Sticky Rice - Thai Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

TLDR version. Good not great. Expensive. Spicy means spicy. Now the details: We've tried to do takeout many times throughout the summer but each time we call, there's an hour plus wait time. Last time we decided, 'you know what, let's wait'. So we did. We waited the hour and ten minutes. Food was ready when we arrived and still warm when we got home. B Spring rolls were good but not spectacular. Curry good but average, Pad See Ew good...almost great. Pad Kee Mao...yes, the menu says spicy. Yes, spicy is underlined. But, it was too spicy. Inedible spicy. I'm no hot-head but I do enjoy some spice. I couldn't eat it. Which is sad because the beef was cooked perfectly and the dish looked great but it was just too darn hot! Yes, I guess I could've asked for a more mild version and I guess I will if we return. read more
