AUTHENTIC THAI COUNTER! I'd highly recommend pulling up to the counter at Sticky Rice for a nice meal. The Pad See Ew is the real deal, it's perfectly fried, utilizes tasty sauces, and the noodles are delicious. My only problem with this Thai spot are the portions, they're small for the price. My meal was provided in a tiny plastic container, it was a little underwhelming. I don't know if they mistakenly packed me a to-go container? Additionally, a soda fountain would be great, only cans/bottles are available here. If you're into a buzzy eateries inside Grand Central Market, you'll love this place. I definitely would come back for a light lunch or dinner. It's perfect for a chat or hangout. Staff are professional, but it would be nice if they were more warm. It was a Wednesday night in Los Angeles, it wasn't overly packed. I'm not quite sure why they were so stressed. read more

Ordered the shrimp rolls , and they were flavorless. The lettuces smelled a little weird . We ordered drunken needs too and they were average. We waited 35 minutes for an our food - seems like we arrived at the DoorDash prime time as we saw at least 10 dashers picking up to go orders the entire time . Random note: my long dress got wet at the bottom and I didn't notice until we got up to leave. Looks like water from the fish tank might be leaking or another plumbing issue . read more

I love their pad siew. Always served hot and fresh. I get it with beef and a thai iced tea. I just tried their pad kee mow with chicken. And i love it too Customer service is great never had a bad experience here. So if youre in grand central and cant decide this place is a solid choice read more

It was our first time trying Sticky Rice at Grand Central Market. We ordered the following: Moo Ping Sticky Rice ($17) Pad Thai with choice of pork +$2 ($17) Pineapple Fried Rice (Choice of chicken +$1) $17 Pad Siew (Choice of beef $2) $17 Since it was peak weekend hours, it was super busy, and we had to wait a bit for our food, but it was honestly so worth it. The plates looked kind of small at first glance, but the portions actually turned out to be really solid and filling. Moo Ping is Thai grilled pork skewers paired with warm, sticky rice is a classic street food combination. The grilled pork skewers had that perfect char and a super flavorful, sweet-savory marinade. Eating it with a little pinch of the warm sticky rice was amazing, but the meat is so good that you can honestly eat it by itself. Highly recommended for the grilled pork skewers. The Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Pad Siew were all really tasty and had those authentic street-food vibes. If you're going to GCM and craving Thai food, this spot definitely doesn't disappoint. We're already planning to go back next time. read more

Another lovely spot tucked within the Grand Central Market! Reasonably priced for the portion size in my opinion, as I had leftovers! I tried the Pad See Ew with beef, and it was delicious! Slightly sweet, with tender broccoli stems and wide rice noodles that absorbed the myriad of flavors. I will return to try more as the menu has a solid list of items, but for now, the Pad See Ew serves as a solid baseline to the quality of this establishment. read more

Here we go!!! GCM Sticky Rice. S T I C K Y R I C E is a hit thai comfort food joint at GCM. The menu here is succinct that customers love. And their cooking is solid with bold food flavors. It's perfect for everyday workers to sit and enjoy a good, healthy meal. Furthermore, they have an open kitchen and you'll see how your food is made/cooked. I had the Gai Yang x Thai Tea. Food was bloody flavorful, soft and tasty. Similarly, drink was refreshing. Their prices are fairly competitive. Staff are nice and professional. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and dine-in experience. I highly recommend SR. read more

Stopped by Sticky Rice inside Grand Central Market in Downtown LA and really enjoyed it. We ordered the Gai Yang (Thai BBQ chicken) and it was excellent--juicy, flavorful, and tasted very authentic. The chicken paired perfectly with the sticky rice and papaya salad, making the whole plate super satisfying. As expected for Grand Central Market, it can get very crowded during lunch hours. Seating is mostly by the counter and feels tight and packed when it's busy, but that's part of the market vibe. The staff was friendly and kept things moving despite the crowds. Overall, the food was solid and definitely worth trying if you're craving authentic Thai flavors. I'd recommend it, especially if you don't mind a lively, bustling lunch scene. read more

I am on a mission to try all the stands in Grand Central Market. I tried Sticky Rice's Pad See-Ew and it was fine, nothing special. The noodles were the right consistency but the sauce wasn't as flavorful as I like at other places. However they give you a good size portion especially for the price you pay! The Thai iced tea was ok, it tasted a little watered down to me. They have a small bar area that you can sit at, but that was full and there were plenty of people waiting around us. It is a quick, order at the cashier, and then either sit at the counter or take your food to go. It will do the trick if you are craving Thai food, but overall it's not one of my favorite food stalls in Grand Central Market. read more

Sticky Rice - Pad See-Ew - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been craving some Thai food lately and didn't get a chance to till now! I typically get the same thing at the grand central market but decided to try this spot since my bf and I were craving it. Got lucky with a short line and open bar seating (wasn't too busy when we went). He got the beef Panaang curry and I got the Hoy Ka which was new to me! I haven't seen it in any Thai restaurants we frequently go to. It's tom yum with noodles, fish balls, and chicken (although the menu said pork but maybe they changed it). The food came out quick and the staff were super sweet. They made sure to check in on us especially since I said to go easy on the spice for the tom yum. There ended up being no spice at all which was fine for me but she asked me anyway if it was okay or if I needed some chili sauce lol. The tom yum flavor was definitely one of a kind! I feel like most places we go to make it very sour which I love but this one was almost a little more subtle and almost tasted refreshing? It was very, very good. Absolutely delicious. The beef Panaang curry was also amazing! The beef literally melts in your mouth. I feel like the best thing was the service because after we were done, my bf went up to get a bag and they walked over to pack it up for us and put it in a bag. Great service, just like a restaurant! Will definitely be coming back especially to try their Thai tea and mango sticky rice! IG: @ammysalamii read more

I was happy to greeted in Thai, Sawasdee ka. I always ask for their recommendations knowing I want an authentic Thai meal. I'm a sucker anytime I see crying tiger on the menu. I wish I could give them 4.5 stars. The meat was cooked perfectly medium and it had been marinated well. And it was a good sized portion. The dipping sauce had good spice. It didn't have the crushed toasted rice but given it was quick service, I understand why they skipped it. The sticky rice was cooked perfectly and wrapped individually. Papaya salad didn't have a lot of flavor but it was a nice complement to the meat and rice. My daughter ordered the Thai tea. Very nice. Not too sweet. The guy next to me had the Pad Thai and it looked very delicious and fresh. I'd come back. Very authentic. You can always tell when there's a picture of the King and Queen of Thailand framed somewhere. I'll be back! read more

Located inside Grand Central Market, this spot is a must-try especially for the mango sticky rice. It's truly good for the soul. Portions are fair, and the pricing matches the area. I liked it so much, I went back the very next day just for another round of sticky rice. The Pad Kee Mao was also delicious, with just the right kick of spice. read more

This place was good and definitely worth the visit. We ordered the egg rolls, pad see ew with tofu, shrimp fried rice, and yellow curry. The egg rolls and pad see ew were our favorites. Both were really satisfying and full of flavor. We were a little disappointed they were sold out of sticky rice since we were looking forward to trying it, but everything else made up for it. The ambiance is very casual since it's in a food court. I actually found it on Yelp and didn't realize that beforehand, but it worked out just fine. The staff were friendly and treated us well, which always makes a difference. I also appreciated the small, focused menu. It made ordering simple and felt intentional. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area. us well. I also appreciate that it's a small menu. read more

Located in the famous grand central market this is a spot with all your thai favorites. I've yet to try the pad thai. I hear it is flavorful. I tried the Pad Kee Mao. It was a tasty treat, although a bit more oily than Im used to. The price was around $20 and the serving size is for one. The service is friendly and they do a great job explaining the dishes. I suggest taking a peak at the wall decorations. They have a cute black and white picture of someone who I believe is the originator. read more

My last stop at Grand Central Market was a complete letdown. I ordered the chicken Pad Thai, and it was incredibly dry--completely lacking in flavor and depth. It felt like they just tossed some noodles with chicken, threw some bean sprouts on top, and called it a day. What a waste of $22 and 15 minutes of my time. Do yourself a favor and walk right past this spot at Grand Central Market. read more

Sticky Rice - Dry Pad Thai with Chicken - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sticky Rice is conveniently located a nice 5 min drive from us so it's easily the closest Thai spot that we know of. That said, although we have enjoyed the items in the past the quality of the cooking has somewhat simmered. We feel like the cook changed or something, perhaps due to the impact of the ICE activity sadly. But overall, we have liked certain dishes and continue to give it a chance every now and again hoping it will bring back some of the magic that we tasted previously. Our recs are the Pad See Ew with veggies, the Thai Fried Rice, the Green Curry, and the Pad Kra Pow. The Papaya Salad has always delivered with freshness and spicyness and the Panang Curry Fries were a surprising treat when my partner was having a craving for fries. The window kiosk order vibe matches the on-the-go nightlife of its adjoining club, The Goldfish, where you'll often discover an indie band playing. They have patio seating as well which is great if you're having a night on York Blvd and are in the mood for Thai food to sop up all those drinks from nearby Hermosillo or Latina owned Nativo (high rec!). read more

Saw a lot of praise for Sticky Rice and decided to order pad thai here. If a Thai restaurant can't master pad thai, I don't order anything else. It's a true litmus test for me. That being said, I guess I'm not coming back here soon. The pad Thai was so bland, had no flavor, and consisted of only a couple bites of chicken. Initially, I was impressed because the portion size was generous but it's 95% rice noodles. I may revisit this place later but I was very disappointed with my first visit here. TLDR; SKIP THE PAD THAI. Honestly I would skip all of the dried noodle dishes. read more

I would come back. read more

I ordered pad thai with tofu ($16) without bean sprouts through DoorDash. It only took a little over ten minutes for them to complete my order. I took the Metro B Line to Pershing Square Station, which has an exit on 4th and Hill right next to Grand Central Market. I saw a lot of takeout orders next to the staff, so they seem efficient preparing their food. The portion is a large serving full of noodles, so there's no problem feeling full. The noodles were clumped together inside the bowl, so it was a little difficult to eat with a plastic fork. I like how they fried their tofu one time I visited here about two years ago because it had that flavor of just coming right off the grill. However, I didn't fully get that same taste that I wanted this time with the fried tofu. Lastly, the meal got a little too oily toward the bottom of the bowl for me. read more

Had the opportunity to eat here today, one of the many food stalls in Grand Central Market. Plenty of Thai food options on the menu but ordered the old faithful, Chicken Pad Thai. Sat at the counter bar and food was out in about 5-6 minutes. Cost was $15 but the portion was big enough for the two of us to share. Absolutely loved it! Noodles were cooked perfectly with plenty of bean sprouts, carrots, and peanuts. Seasoning was very flavorful but wished there was a bit more chicken in it. Will eat here again for sure! read more

"Hey Siri, Play THAI me Down by Gryffin" ...So, "Hold me up, THAI me down, cuz i don't wanna leave your side, You THAI me THAI me down, down". Hung over as f*ck on a weekend bender trying Sticky Rice for the first time was just what i needed to replenish my soul just enough to survive the second day of our trip. Our delivery came pretty fast and the delivery drier was very nice. Here we ordered the Green Curry with Tofu and the Pad Siew with Tofu. The green curry had to be my favorite as it was so aromatic, not too creamy/liquidy, and filling. I didnt eat much of the Pad Siew, but i did try some of it and i liked it. My favorite dish has to be the Green Curry and if you have the change to try Sticky Rice the green curry is something that you shouldn't miss out on. read more

This is a Thai food place in Grand Central Market in LA. They have a variety of food options that you can pick from. Things do sell out, so get what you want when you order. I waited until after my lunch to order mango sticky rice, and they sold out while I was eating. Overall, a solid place for Thai food. * Gai Yang ( Thai BBQ Chicken w/ Papaya Salad & Sticky Rice) 4/5 - Decent bbq chicken with a hint of a lemongrass flavor. * Pad Kee Mao (Spicy Drunken Noodles) 4/5 - These were savory flat rice noodles with a spicy kick to them. You can add a protein to it (I chose beef and it was good). The dish also came with baby corns, mushrooms, beansprout, bell peppers, chinese broccoli, etc. * Beef Panang (Braised Beef Curry) 4.5/5 - I was surprised seeing the container because it was 1/3 the size of the Yellow Chicken Curry. Maybe because beef is more expensive than chicken? But yeah, similar pricing for both, and the chicken curry was good, so I'd pick that over this if I knew. Other than that, the beef was very tender and the curry sauce was good. There was an interesting sweetness to it. * Kaeng Karee (Yellow Chicken Curry) 4.5/5 - The chicken was very tender and the curry was good and flavorful. Bonus that it is triple the size of the beef curry for the same price. * Vegetable Egg Rolls 5/5 - The egg rolls were crispy and tasty. I'm not a vegetable person, but I enjoyed them. * Pad Krapow Gai 3.5/5 - This came with rice and ground chicken. It was decent, but there are better options on the menu. * Crab Fried Rice 4/5 - Good fried rice with a lot of crab meat. read more

When I go the Yellow Curry the chicken was nearly gray if it wasn't completely gray. I was a little nervous about this. It tasted good but i didn't have much because I was nervous They're always out of Mango Sticky Rice but they always advertise it and have a long line waiting. They should put "not available anymore" read more

What We Ordered: -Pad Kee Mow w/Shrimp $18 -Gai Yang $16 -Thai Tea $5 I ate before coming here. I didn't have a huge appetite. I met a good friend I hadn't seen in over seven years. It was great to catch up over a meal at Sticky Rice. I've lived quite a bit in Asia, and I've traveled to Thailand. I like to think I know Thai food quite well. I have to say the food was quite delicious. We both liked the Gai Yang, which came with the papaya salad. I definitely recommend this dish! We also had the Pad See Mow with Shrimp, which is an extra charge for the shrimp instead of the standard beef or other protein. Pad Kee Mow, which is what most people refer to as drunken noodles. Now, the Pad Kee Mow was all right. It wasn't amazing or anything to write home about. I also ordered a Thai Thai, which wasn't a bit too sweet for my liking. I would have liked a stronger tea flavor. This was a miss for me! I would return here, but it wouldn't be my first choice at Grand Central Market. read more
