"What It Is: A second location of Sticky Rice, the fantastic Thai spot in Grand Central Market Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, Lunch We’d go through a lot for Sticky Rice’s panang curry, including dealing with the crowds at Grand Central Market. Luckily, now we can skip the busloads of tourists and head to this Thai spot’s second location in Echo Park. They’ve taken over a corner spot on Sunset, with tables spread over two rooms and a front patio that was even habitable during last week’s rain. And while the original location only serves a few things, this new spot’s menu has pages of Thai classics. Any visit here should absolutely include the deep fried roti with green curry. Also known as our favorite new way to eat roti. Verdict: A great new spot to add into your Echo Park lunch rotation." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
"Echo Park’s Sticky Rice earns raves from longtime reviewer Merrill Shindler over at the Eastsider, with the restaurant’s “delicious downhome Thai food” praised for its soups, dessert, and noodle dishes. “The pad Thai may well be the last taste I want before I shuffle off this mortal coil,” says Shindler." - Farley Elliott
"With all the madness happening in front of El Prado right next door, newcomers might not notice Sticky Rice at first. But if you’ve lived in the area for more than a couple years, you know that this Thai spot has a fantastic secret: it’s home to the best beef panang curry in the city. The rest of the menu is still quite good, but it’s this sweet, creamy, and scientifically perfect panang we keep coming back for. So the next time you want a meal that is inexpensive, but also pushes us into a dream-like state with every bite, head to Sticky Rice. " - Nikko Duren
"Their original location in Grand Central Market is doing curbside pick-up, and their Echo Park outpost is offering delivery, meaning you now have multiple ways to get their scientifically perfect beef panang curry. Call (213) 200-1341 to order at Grand Central Market, or place an Echo Park order here." - brant cox
