Sticky Rice Offers Thai Style Tapas which are INCREDIBLE. People may be thrown off by portion sizes but prices clearly reflect the size of their tapas(small plates)6-10 dollars a plate. The staff is small but efficient and kind! The Inside only has 7 or 8 tables but it makes for an extremely intimate and cozy atmosphere. We enjoyed two thai ice teas, spring rolls, beef skewers, coconut milk and lemongrass soup (which was probably the most aromatic and deliciously fresh tasting soup i’ve had at any Thai or asian eatery in the area), crab Rangoon (which were made with real fresh lump crab!!!) and shared an entree with real sticky rice served in palm/banana leaves. Everything was Delicious, fresh and made with care. Those looking for a traditional sit down thai restaurant may be a little on the fence but the ability to try a bit of everything with the small plate offering makes for a festival of flavors and an amazing dinner that ended up costing around 80 bucks but could easily be worth much more for the quality and presentation! It was our first time there but i can see it becoming our go to spot in lewes, just keep an open mind to new foods and don’t expect any americanized chinese which i’ve seen complaints about, they are not offering Chinese, Japanese, or Loas food.. They are offering incredible THAI FOOD and that’s what they deliver! Definitely a great...
Read moreCannot believe this place gets good ratings. We got take out. The curry dinners were packed in soup containers (see photo), which was good, since they were mostly broth. We ordered shrimp in the green curry and chicken in the red. Very very little protein in either dish. The green curry promised eggplant. There were two tiny pieces. The most prevalent ingredient in the broth was bamboo shoots, and few of those. The dinners do not come with rice, but for an extra $3, you can get the tiniest food box you have ever seen, containing less than a cup of cooked rice (See photo). I can buy 2 lbs of dry basmati rice for $6 at my local Acme store..…RETAIL. We also had the summer rolls, which were all lettuce and basil, with ONE tiny shrimp, cut in half, just as another reviewer described. $12 for two orders of lettuce! Flavor is ok, but hard to enjoy over the bitter taste of feeling ripped off. We paid $55 for take-out. Maybe some people think tapas means smaller plates for larger prices, but we are not among them and...
Read moreAuthentic thai cuisine that isn’t watered down! We used to live near a dozen fabulous thai restaurants. It’s our “comfort food”
Moving here we found thai food was made bland, and much too sweet. I don’t know who they’re cooking for - but it’s not fans of authentic thai cuisine.
We ate here last night and we’re pleased. The summer rolls are large and well spiced but could use a bit less endive or escarole. I can’t tell them apart. Perhaps some shredded carrot? Still - delicious and the real deal.
The entrees are actually a proper size for a single portion. The basil chicken is thin sliced, not minced but excellent flavor and awesome spice. The panang was perfect, and I already know it’s my first choice: just enough fire but not too much. The owner/chef is a dream come true. Service was easy going, very kind and friendly. And budget wise? This is a steal at about 1/3 less than other area restaurants.
We’re going to be regulars here, and if you are from the DC area and miss authentic thai cuisine- give...
