STIX Eatery — Restaurant in Concord

1/10/18

Wanting to try somewhere new for lunch over the weekend, the boyfriend and I stopped in the Park n Shop plaza near home and noticed the picture on the outside wall of Stix: curry in a bread bowl. It was a drizzly day and we were both getting over colds, so a hot bread bowl meal wasn’t a hard decision to make – comfort food! We told our server that it was our first time there and Ko T filled us in on the mostly family-style eating and large dish portions.

Even with this information, we totally over-ordered! A complimentary bowl of soup started us off and it was delicious! Chicken satay ($10) was our favorite dish. Really nicely season chicken on skewers and a subtle peanut sauce that didn’t over-power any of the other flavors. Shrimp balls ($6) was our least favorite. Kind of chewy, rubbery balls of fish? We washed these down with a couple of Thai iced teas ($4 each in a large mason glass) then sampled the chicken wings ($6), which were good, but not quite as good as the boneless skewers. A large portion of fried calamari ($10) was a hit, though it seems slightly overbreaded. The meat was still tender though – fried to perfection! Finally, the yellow curry chicken bread bowl ($10) which we barely broke into with all the other plates. It was delicious though and the bread was fresh and complimented the sweet flavors of the curry.

Service was great and the food was good with large portions. I’d totally go back and order the satay and...

TLDR: ordered 3 items all turned out amazing. Drunken noodle, green curry, tofu grob. (Tofu in picture)

I hate tofu. I always want to try it everywhere I go because it always looks good, but the texture, I just can't do it.. I got this because my girlfriend likes tofu. Plain and simple review... THIS IS DELICIOUS. I had to push myself past the texture to eat more it was so good. The texture still bothered me a little but it was much more bearable than any I've had before the flavor is a bit sweet so if you like a sweeter sauce on your tofu I can't recommend this enough.

I also ordered the drunken noodle (extra crispy) SOFA KING AMAZING! idk how to explain it other than that. It's fantastic.

Green curry with white rice was the last thing I ordered. It had a slight kick but pretty mild tbh.

I wouldn't order all 3 at the same time again cuz I ate way 2 much, but individually I would order all 3 again depending on what I was craving. I already know I'm gonna be craving those...

First when we walked in the place, we loved the spacious room with clean, sparsely design and semi-open kitchen style. Our waitress was friendly and helpful in giving us plenty of recommendations and never rushed us. We tried their most popular signature dish Stix wings and it’s a crowd pleaser, crispy skins with tangy chili sweet sauce, fingers licking good wings. The papaya salad was the perfect companion to the spicy chicken wings, crunchy papaya with cilantro and red onions all mixed in with lime citrus sauce, a perfect palate cleansing. We also ventured the Laotian fermented pork salad with crispy rice which is another perfectly balanced dish with the crunch and mint complimenting the fermented pork, which has a texture of beef tendon. The only dish we didn’t care as much was the fried calamari, the batter was just too heavy. The portion was generous and for three people with six dishes, the average cost was $30 per person with lots of...
