Sticky Rice on 3rd — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I had high hopes for this place. They took months to build out the place to make it just right. I walked by month after month hoping to see an “open” sign. Well it’s been a couple weeks so I came by to support the small business.

The inside looks a bit fun, ninja turtles and all! Anyway we are here for the food right? If so then RUN. We ordered: two Thai iced teas for $6+ a piece smaller than the free water at Starbucks, it was fine, but at that price I would have thought they were bigger. We then ordered a tofu summer rolls, they came with no mint leaves, flavor whatever. It had a lot to noodles and the smallest tofu peice ever. The peanut sauce was half what it should be and the rolls had zero flavor and fell apart after one bite, definitely a fail.

Our mains were two soups, one vegetable and one with meatballs, Chinese broccoli veggies and noodles. The vegetables soup was bland and the meat soup was 3 meatballs with a half a stalk of broccoli in broth.

Anyway this place is a FAIL. Food is overpriced, had no flavor, and just not executed well. I will not return it sucks this means another...

I ordered the sticky fried wings and the spring roll w/ shrimp on Thurs around 5pm.

When I went to pick up my food from the window I noticed that 2 different people in the kitchen handled the shrimp roll without gloves - the first person brought them from the back, placed them on the kitchen counter/prep station and the second person picked them up and put them in the to-go container. Both with their bare hands. This is unsanitary and disgusting. When I let my server know, he wasn’t even apologetic..he just said he “didn’t see it happen”. He seemed rushed and unbothered by what I just saw. Maybe that’s the way they handle food all the time?

I’m disappointed in the way he handled the situation. I had to ask a few times for them to remake them with gloves. Doubt I’ll be back..bad...
