We've been coming to this restaurant for years and absolutely love it! Great staff, such delicious food, and very calm ambience! Tamarind Shrimp, Beef Pho, and Tom Yum - I definitely recommend! read more

When they first open, place was great! Food, service, everything was too-notch. We had given the benefit of the doubt after 3 times service and food had plummeted in quality. The final straw was waiting 20 minutes for someone to ask us what we wanted to drink. We walked out and won't be back. read more

They must have given me leftovers from 1965. I have never had a bad pad thai until I ordered it from this location. I never knew it was possible for food to be tasteless. The noodles did not keep their shape, neither did they separate from each other. My husband never rejects food and is not a wasteful man, but THIS he tossed after 2 bites. I will never order from this place every again. That was my first and will be my last. read more

Idk just didnt fit my pallet. It just isnt for me, but that doesnt mean it others wont like it. I say give it a shot

Food is ok. Service is awful. Staff is horribly ridWent in to pick up order and was told 15 minutes after giving them my full name. Came back 15 minutes later. Oh yeah another 45 minutes. We had wrong person Seriously. How hard is it to get a name right and give person correct time for order read more

Our go to place for Thai, we order at least once a week. We usually get pad Thai, drunken noodle, curry, and I love their summer rolls. I have yet to try other dishes. I really appreciate their service especially during covid. People are really nice on the phone. And the food is always on time when we pick it up. read more

Ordered the Herb Chicken Fried Rice, Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice. Since from my experience Thai spice levels are normally hotter than what's listed, I went with Spice level -1 (for kids) and Spice level -2 (adults) with extra hot sauce on the side to be able to add more spice if needed. Even at spice level 2 (medium) it was pretty bland. My main complaint though was with the Pad Thai. It did not smell or taste right. It had a foul smell and disgusting taste as if it had gone bad. After taking one bite of the food, we decided to throw it out. The Basil fried rice and herb chicken fried rice were okay but not anything to rave about. Here are my ratings for each individually: Basil chicken fired rice - 3.5 Herb Chicken Fried Rice - 3 Pad Thai - 0 We ordered through Grubhub. Grubhub delivery was fast. No issues with that. read more

Love the food, enough though for the longest time it was take out only! Inside has opened back up now. (was because of Covid and staff shortage!) Generous helpings, decent pricing. Always friendly or at least smiling! :P read more

Thai sweet basil is great I always get mine with chicken. You can pick your spicy level from 1 to 5. I always do 4 which is just right for my spicy ness. I will say i usually get this as a pick up order. The few times i have dine in they seem a little slow. read more

Great food every time. We have only ordered from a few places during COVID and Sticky Rice has been one of them. It has been very good. Happy to support this local spot! read more

Order food via Grub hub, while doing that I noticed it said the food would come at 5:30 +, I was fine with that. I didn't eat all day, so I thought it would be worth waiting for. I ordered 3 lad na, 2 combos and 1 beef. I Only received 1 combo and the beef. I'm leaving a 1 Star only because I'm slightly irritated, I understand things can happen but at the moment my experience has been a poor one. Edit for clarification: each person was suppose to receive a Lad Na, there are three of us total. read more

My hubby and I went there the other night and let me tell you, I was so disappointed. It is definitely not the same anymore. The pho was horrible and my food didn't have much taste. The only thing that was good was the herb chicken which were very crispy. The pork crispy rolls were mid. I thought we could give this place another try but sadly we are officially done with this place. read more

Good food but not many vegetarian options! Clean and great service, loved the food and the vibe read more

The food was pretty tasty. I had the green curry, which is my go to. My husband had the pad Thai and loved it. He a hiccup with the delivery, but the staff was very accommodating and allowed us to pick it up instead. We will definitely be eating with y'all again! read more

I had fallen in love with Thai food since being at school. But when I moved back home I wasn't sure where I would go to get it. This place is definitely the spot. Everything I've had so far has been amazing. I came at lunch and tried a couple appetizers that were great. They gave me a soup or salad with the meal so I chose soup. It ended up being Tom Kha soup which is new to me but literally the best Asian-based soup I've had (personal opinion) I'm basic with my entree so I just got chicken Pad See Ew with spice level 3. Hits the spot each time. Great customer service and very clean area each time so far. I really can't recommend this place enough. Sorry I didn't take any pictures! read more

Our favorite Thai food place in Murphy! Flavorful and always delicious! We always get spicy basil sliced beef with rice, papaya salad, nam khao, and herb chicken fried rice. A definite must try! read more

I love a good Thai place and Sticky Rice does not disappoint. Their Thai-Laotian cuisine is top notch. The environment is great for a family meal or a large lunch party. Everything I've had here is incredibly delicious and very well made! Try the Thai Iced Coffee and various curry dishes. We love this place! read more

Yum yum yum!!! Everything I eat here is always fresh and delicious! The Tom Yum and basil fried rice are so good. Definitely come here if you are craving good asian cuisine! read more

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the DFW area. The panang curry, pad kee mow and fried rice are all delish. The restaurant is also BYOB with no corking fee, which is great. It's also very clean, which is a big plus in my book. Sticky Rice lacks a bit of ambiance and can get really loud because the restaurant is one big room with tile floors. The service is inconsistent and sometimes not very friendly. BUT it's still one of my favorites because the food is just that good. For date night, try takeout! Or eat in on a less busy night for a more peaceful dinner. Either way, you'll love the food. read more

Really good food and food portions. It's not too expensive and the service is amazing . It's a great place to get dinner and the atmosphere is really nice. I recommend anyone to go here for a date night. The best dish in my opinion would be between the fried rice and the drunken noodles. read more

Yummy I love the food at this local restaurant. Modern, clean environment and great service. The food is fresh, light and delicious.

I've been back another time since this visit. The food is actually pretty good but the staff... I had questions about the menu and the person helping me had to ask someone else. Also, I tried to call my order in and got an answering machine each time and when I got there the phone was ringing but no one was answering. But the food... really good read more

Sticky Rice - Crab fried rice - Laotian Near Me - Murphy, Texas

Crab cream cheese roll appetizer was of a delightful slightly sweet cream cheese base. Nice variant of standard Thai dishes with a few dishes I'll be back to explore, particularly the Pad dishes looked attractive Looking around the restaurant. Very flavorful, and I got a perfect 4 level spicy in the Green Curry. A friend had Pad Woon Sen which was mild as asked but not bland by any means. I'll be back with more later. read more

I live nearby and I wanted to love this place so bad because of how close it is to my house....but I can't. The customer service is great, and they definitely seem to be very sanitary and taking extra precautions during COVID-19. Super nice people. Hence the 3 stars. Now the food....I ordered the pad Thai. Honestly, not good at all, I got it for to-go but took a couple bites and threw it away. Maybe the chef was just having a long day. read more

I love the green curry but the yellow is also great. I have a high heat tolerance and asked to something past their level 5 thai spice. They did it - fantastic! read more

Ok, so if you have been here, you know the food is fresh and delicious. The service is always great. But, I was there at closing tonight and I saw part of their closing routine. Every chair is scrubbed, not just dusted off. The tables are cleaned and then polished. I was amazed at the detail to the process. Most restaurants could take a page out of their playbook. Summing it up, food is great, place is super clean! read more

I read great reviews about this place, so my boyfriend and I went to try it out! Yes, the customer service is superb. We appreciate the spice level 3 and up being spicy but we love authentic spicy. We listened and level 3 and 4 were nothing to us, so next time we will try level 5 if anyone likes super spicy like us :P We had the pad thai and pad kee mow. They were both large dishes, reasonable price... but they are okay. We had better. Lastly, we had the stick rice with mango. Mango was delicious, but not the sticky rice. I thought it was plain... Not worth. Clean restaurant. Great interior design and environment. Plenty of parking. read more

Good food. Staff is attentive. Glad to have a Thai restaurant open for dine in near us again. Lettuce wraps or friend rice w shrimp or chicken never disappoint. I like their curry but have some friends who say it's just ok. read more

We love Sticky Rice. We are very thankful to have a good Thai restaurant in the area. The chicken fried chicken is always fantastic. They use very good quality chicken and the flavor of the rice is awesome. I love that you can spice it up or keep it mild if that is your thing. The Herb chicken is another favorite in our family. They give you really nice portion sizes and there are never any leftovers in our household. :) The staff are always really friendly and the food comes out fresh and piping hot. read more

Awesome flavor and service. No complaints! Good place to dine in and for take out. Clean and well maintained .

The red chicken curry is incredible. I usually call ahead and pick it up. Even the mild is spicy so be prepared. It is great though!

Went for a club meeting and got the Tom Yum soup & Pad Thai! Both were Super delicious!! The bean sprouts did come on the side though which wasn't bad but I perfer them to be cooked in. Didn't know this initially but it's okay. Came in the morning when they first opened and was welcomed warmly. Windows are large so the room feels very open. read more

Sticky Rice - Pad Thai - Laotian Near Me - Murphy, Texas

Wow, what a great find. My wife and I have passed this place several times and never knew what it was. The excellent Yelp reviews told us we need to try it. Our son had just returned from a month in Thailand the day before so we thought we would have some Thai food. As I write this, we have been twice for lunch and have tried many items between the three of us. The folks there are very helpful in answering questions about the food. Everything we had was very fresh and full of flavor. Our new favorite Thai restaurant! read more

I was at Sachse taking pictures on the Bluebonnet Hill and a friend suggested coming here. Since we were hardly ever in the area, we thought why not! It's definitely my first stab at Laotian food so I wasn't sure what to expect but overall I think I had a very enjoyable experience. The place was very busy when we arrived and our server was helpful on suggesting items and letting us know what flavors are in the dishes we've picked out. We started off with the nam kao and the laotian sausage. The nam kao was delicious!! It had a great combination of flavors and the texture with that crispy but not hard or burnt rice was wonderful. The laotian sausage had a really good flavor to it but the texture was just so odd! It's normal initially then gets mushy (not too crazy about this dish). However, I wasn't discouraged and looked forward to our entrees! We got the tamarind shrimp and the spicy catfish. Our server suggested certain spice levels for these dishes and I was a bit disappointed at how not spicy either one was, not even a hint of it, at least for next time I will know to level up! The tamarind shrimp came in a pretty big portion, each shrimp was lightly battered and they were huge! The flavor was a bit tangy and had a fish sauce taste to it. It also had mixed veggies on there which went very well with the dish as well. The spicy catfish reminded me a lot of this catfish in red curry that we typically get at Thai Places. The portion was very generous with lots of catfish filets and lots of veggies. Both of our entrees were absolutely delicious!! Sharing this much food between two people, you can expect a lot of leftovers and we wanted to try the dessert so we packed away a good bit of our food. We ordered the fried banana with coconut and green tea ice cream. The banana had a good batter on it, it was light and crispy. The coconut ice cream was yummy, it went very well with the banana. The green tea ice cream was alrighttt.. it didn't have a strong green tea flavor. I would give this place a 4.5 but the overall experience was so good I wish I didn't live so far so we can come back and try other dishes! It was a great introduction to Laotian food and now I'll be looking forward to trying more of this cuisine! read more

I rarely feel right about 5 stars because there's always room for improvement but I've been exposed to a lot of Laotian food hanging with the Special Friend and this was like eating at home! This is a family owned and family run restaurant. Must be family recipes because the food is authentic and traditional, although the presentation is modern. We watched the Mavs game there and when Dirk hit that 3 before overtime, the restaurant cheered! It's not a sports bar by any means, but it's definitely casual and comfortable. The Special Friend, his bestie and I started with the crab cream cheese rolls because I love anything with crab & cream cheese in a wonton! It could use more crab. I like how it's lightly fried so it's not too soft or too hard. The yum woon sen was something I have not tried before. It has a vinegary, sour and sweetness to it with fresh veggies. Special Friend thought it was refreshing, light and flavorful. Glass noodles are carb free so it's a good choice if you're looking for something healthy. Even with ordering it mild, it still has a tinge of spiciness, which I could accept because it seemed right for this dish. The pad kee mow was flavorful! I love flat noodles because it is simply something I cannot cook myself. Special Friend says it's a mouthful of flavor. He honestly thinks it's the best pad kee mow he's had. I actually wanted the kao poon but this guy ordered the pad kee mow for me!! But it's all good. I didn't pay so whatevs. I really liked the basil and the ground chicken all mixed with eggs. It's better than chunks of chicken. I've had the kao poon chicken at someone's house so I know I like it and I wanted it but the guy ordered it with 4 peppers. He wants me to say it's a very traditional dish served at many Laos house parties and has never seen it on a menu! It's a flavor I can't describe because I'm not really a cook, but i taste coconut, and it's a thick broth. It actually wasn't too spicy so I had a few spoonfuls. He asked for their spice rack but changed his mind and asked for shrimp paste and Thai chilis, and they had it! The bowl was all his after that....too traditional haha We were ready for dessert but ended up ordering nam kho with cured pork (make sure you get the cured pork!). I've also had this before at the house parties he takes me to, but this is my favorite dish here. So glad we decided to pig out!! The rice is crunchy and I guess it's the coconut that makes it sweet? So good!! It's an excellent lettuce wrap. I thought I liked this dish before, but I really love it here. I would definitely like to come back for this and the kao poon but it depends on my taxi aka Special Friend. The fried banana is a large serving! It's actually a plantain banana, not the regular banana, so it's less sweet, which goes well with ice cream. We didn't know it was 2 scoops of ice cream so we had coconut ice cream, but I suggest getting one of each (other flavor is green tea)! The coconut ice cream has chunks of coconut in it. Good stuff. It was a long ride to endure home after stuffing ourselves, but we'd definitely come back. There are just a few Laos restaurants but this menu is different, serving foods made traditionally for family and friends. Love it!! read more

We LOVE Sticky Rice in Murphy and order from there often. The food is consistently fabulous & they never get our order wrong. So good!!!

First off, I'd love to address the staff because for me, customer service is very important. Sweetest family and any questions you might have about a dish or anything on the menu, they do not mind taking the time to answer. If you ask for a suggestion, chances are you won't be disappointed. The food is delicious.. Since they've opened, I've been here at least once a week. If you're really big on papaya salad, Sticky Rice (SR) serves THE BEST I've had. Almost as good as when my family makes it. It's packed with authentic flavors that I haven't found anywhere else. Most places just use fish sauce and lime juice to mix the papaya but I know SR uses way more ingredients. Their fried quail is an appetizer I recently discovered with my mom and I will have to say if you pair that up with the papaya salad, you've got yourself a delicious entree right there. If I can make some suggestions for the newbies reading this review or even guests who have already been here but just curious to see what other people have to say, here are some of my favorite dishes that will most likely become yours too :) Papaya salad and fried quail for appetizers. Pad kee mow, pepper steak, yellow curry and Kao poon chicken. I hope my review will be helpful for any new comers and returning customers! I'm sure through this novel of a review you can see the 5 stars were an easy give :) read more

My son and I absolutely love Thai. We visited twice in two weeks and left each time smiling ear to ear with leftovers. Our waiter, Richard I believe, is extremely nice and knowledgeable. My husband and I order different variations of Thai Fried Rice while my son orders Pad See Ew Chicken. You cannot go wrong with either dish. It is nice to finally have a good Thai place so close to home. read more

Sticky rice has very little to no flavor to me but it's like crack to all my non-Lao friends. That being said, I can't be fully satisfied with a Lao meal if I don't have sticky rice. It's like eating Italian without bread, it's just plain silly. The wife and I came here on a Sunday afternoon, a little bit after Noon. I was fully expecting a packed dining room but was pleasantly surprised when the place was half empty. The food was not as good as I was hoping, especially for the price. There's other places around DFW that is more reasonably priced if you're willing to make the trek. For example, they charge $3 for a little basket of sticky rice. That's nuts! Just for comparison purposes, Nalinh (Irving) charges you $1 for all you can eat sticky rice. The dish I really wanted to try was the Beef Larb (side note: I hate when Lao restaurants call this dish Larb. When we pronounce it, there is no R sound at all. A more accurate spelling would be Laab, but I digress...) but it was priced at 9.99, now add the basket of sticky rice to eat with it (there is no other way to eat it) and you're looking at a $13 meal that would normally cost about $8 anywhere else. Ok, I get it, it's apples and oranges. Beautiful outer suburb Murphy vs dirty, inner suburb Irving but still... I ordered the Kao Poon, which is a vermicelli noodle soup. The broth was good but not what I was expecting. I grew up eating this dish and the way mom makes it is heartier. This broth was ok but left something to be desired. My wife had Nam Kao. Most Lao people would have this as a main course but here, they have it on the appetizer menu. It's basically a rice mixed with herbs and spices. You can add cured pork for an extra charge. Lao people wouldn't eat it without the pork so it's a shame that they make you pay extra for it. The worst part was the service. Our server was Richard, or at least that's what our receipt said. He seemed to always be in a rush. Even when he talked, it was hard to understand him because he was talking so fast. He said twice that he would refill my water, never did. I had to ask the hostess, who was helping him bus his tables, for a refill. My wife ordered a Thai tea and wanted a little bit more milk for it, again, he repeated what she asked for and never came back with it. The kitchen staff had to help him with serving the food because I think he got overwhelmed. Nice guy but I think he needed to slow down and take a breath and compose himself. read more

Sticky Rice is a wonderful Asian restaurant with amazing food and service. As soon as you walk in you can smell the freshly prepared Jasmine rice and other delicious entrees. The owners are extremely friendly, they donate and support local charities and schools every year. Great small business to support in our area! read more
