Sticky Rice Lao, Thai & Sushi

the food here is so delicious!! my friend and I haven’t been to a restaurant where ever single plate was better than the last. very satisfied with our experience. wish i could gatekeep but we need to give them their stars.

We have gone multiple times as my family loves Lao style food.. The idea is amazing but the food consistency is lacking. The very first time we went we were very impressed, by the service and the food that we went home and told everyone, friends, family, customers, you name it. The times after were good, but not as good. Either things didn't taste fresh, or things were too salty. Our friends that went from our recommendation were disappointed in the food too which is sad because normally our recs are a hit, but they also said some of the food was saltier than what they're used to. Please work on consistency as we would love to keep coming here!!! 🙏 Also, their to go containers need to be sturdier and have better seals as a lot of their food has sauces and the clamshell boxes don't cut it as the sauce spills everywhere. The staff is friendly. Service is good on a slow day, but on a busy night, it's nonexistent. Be prepared. We don't mind that as much as long as our food is out. We can do the rest ourselves. The decor is simple and clean.

​I really wanted to love this restaurant, as the core flavor of the Red Curry was outstanding—the kitchen clearly has talent. However, the overall dining experience was consistently undermined by easily correctable flaws in both the food preparation and the service execution. ​Food Preparation Issues ​The high quality of the curry flavor was hampered by execution errors with the add-in ingredients: ​Lemongrass: Large, coarse chunks were left in the curry. Because lemongrass is extremely fibrous, these pieces were unchewable and had to be awkwardly picked out or spat out, indicating it was prepared for infusion but served for consumption. ​Pineapple: The large chunks of pineapple retained significant heat from the sauce, causing bursts of scalding juice when bitten into. Cutting them smaller would solve this minor hazard. ​Mango Sticky Rice: This was the most disappointing dish. The mango was firm and under-ripe, lacking the necessary fragrance and sweetness. This is a significant quality control failure, especially given Miami's excellent access to ripe mangoes in the late season. ​Service Execution Issues ​The service was friendly but clearly inexperienced, demonstrating a lack of essential training and attention to detail throughout the meal: ​Missed Cues: We had to ask for water initially, and refills were inconsistent. The server struggled with basic dining cues, such as asking to box a plate while it was still being eaten. ​Pacing and Cutlery: The server did not offer the dessert menu or provide appropriate tools (only a spoon was provided for the firmer mango). ​Final Details: Even the complimentary Lindor chocolate arrived partially melted, serving as a final, minor example of the lack of care in presentation. ​In summary: This restaurant has a strong foundation and excellent culinary potential. Investing in staff training on service pacing and essential ingredient quality control would elevate this business from average to truly exceptional.

The food was delicious and the service: excellent. The food takes a few minutes to arrive because everything is freshly made and served piping hot. Highly recommended.

Nice Asian restaurant with an interesting mix of varied cuisines. We liked the soups and noodles, particularly the pad thai. The service was ok and the atmosphere kinda make you feel like a local.

We went for a late lunch to this restaurant specifially to try the Laotian food. We were not disappointed at all! All of the food we tried wa well prepared, delicious and served beautifully. Definitely a restaurant we will return to. We started with the sticky rice, the Laotian sausages, and the sticky rice and pickled pork. All were delicious and exactly as described. Our server did and excellent job of recommending dishes as well as explaining the spice levels and typical way to eat the food. Next we had the Kow Piek Sen, basically a chicken soup with delicious fresh noodles. It was seved with a type of fried bread and various chili-based toppings which added to this soup. The bread was particularly delicious - hot and crunchy. We also shared the Kow Poon which is more of a curry type dish which was also delicious. For dessert with tried the Sticky Rice with mangoes which was surprisingly delicious as well. In conclusion this is a great restaurant and a wonderful addition to the Miami food scene.

A very true Thai restaurant,authentic food and tasty. Everybody so nice and welcoming. We love this restaurant 🙏🫶🏻

The food was delicious (my first time have Laotian food) and the service was lovely. I wish I had taken a picture of my food but I devoured it the second it got to my table. I'll definitely be coming again with friends

My girlfriend was craving sushi, so we decided to check out Sticky Rice. I started off with the Wong Tong Soup the wontons themselves were tasty, but the broth leaned too garlicky for me, and the snap peas and lettuce weren't really my thing. Ended up just enjoying the broth and the wontons but probably wouldn't order that soup again. For sushi, we chose the Lucy Roll and wow , I could have eaten two of those! We also tried the Volcano Chicken, which was solid and had a nice spice to it . For dessert, we went with the Thai donuts. They came out golden brown on the outside, but the middles were kind of soft and undercooked, in my opinion still tasty though. Overall, I'd come back just for the Lucy Roll, and go try some other things on the menu.

Sticky Rice has a fantastic variety of sushi and Thai dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious! If crab Rangoon is on the menu I'm ordering it .. The tuna crispy rice which it's usually a hit or miss for me, but theirs was perfect super fresh tuna topped with avocado. We also tried the Lucy Roll, which might be one of my favorite sushi rolls ever and coming from someone who's been to over 300 sushi spots, that says a lot! The Volcano Chicken was flavorful with just the right amount of heat, and it was paired with sticky white rice. Of course, we couldn't skip dessert . The thai donuts were the perfect sweet finish. Can't wait to come back

Cute small hole in the wall feel right off bird road. I've had takeout here in the past, but dined in recently. Kanisu - fresh and as expected. Crispy Rice - Delicious appetizer especially if you like tuna. Crazy Tuna Roll - Loved this roll. Massaman Curry - Delightful Everything we had I highly recommend! Will definitely be coming back sooner than later! If you're in the mood for some good sushi or a hot Thai/japanese meal, i highly recommend coming here to eat!

Heard such great things about this place decided to try their takeout! Love it when food arrives at home and it's still hot and fresh kudos to this place! Check out the pictures below of the delicious items we ordered. Sushi rice on roll was very fresh and the Nam Kow (Crispy Rice & Pickled Pork) was delicious even without spice. Can't wait to stop by for a sitdown meal.

From the incredible service, beautiful ambiance and delicious, I can see what the hype is all about! There's so many dishes to choose from so I tried three of them. First dish was under the small bites section of their Lao section. It was more on the medium side for me and very bite was delicious and exciting. I had never experience a dish with so much flavor and crunch. The second dish was the Kow Piek Sen. I ordered mine with chicken. This is a soup and it's filling. My last dish was the mango sticky rice. I was so stuffed from the previous two dishes, I couldn't finish the dessert. Courtney, the incredible server, boxed it up for me and I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest tomorrow. Check them out and enjoy!

Today I happened to pass by and saw this small restaurant right next to Bird Road, so I went in for dinner. My first impression upon entering was that it felt very cozy. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the service is excellent, and the food is fresh and delicious.

Amazing!! Was looking for a new date night sushi spot and came across this place. There were a lot of reviews but the ones that were there were 5s so I thought "there's no way they're all 5s?!" And boy was I surprised! The food was absolutely fantastic. The sushi was so fresh it melted in your mouth. Our server was also great, lots of checking up on us and even gave some food recommendations. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Absolutely delicious and fresh authentic food!! Love the sushi and the variety of food to choose from! Lucy, the owner is a real sweetheart too! The sushi is also so delicious. Ordering from them again soon!!

Formerly Kam Wow/Wah, this restaurant is run by the same family that has been here for 20+ years. I love the Lao options, especially the beef and pork jerky. They have Japanese and Thai options as well, so really you can't go wrong if you'd like some good Asian cuisine in the Olympia Heights area. 5 well deserved stars!

Food is tasty and warm and authentic 10/10! Thai chicken noodle soup with in house noodles was fantastic! Lucy roll is my fav roll of all time. Presentation 10/10! Thai food 10/10 sushi 10/10!!! Art on the wall is dope place is spacious, staff is friendly and helpful and makes good recommendations.

This place is delicious with an amazing menu, we will definitely be back soon. The service by Jasmine was fantastic and the ambiance and decorations were great. 5 for me

This place is awesome ! They are open for lunch. Lunch specials on weekdays from around 11:00 am to 3:00 pm for $ 17.99. We got the chicken pad Thai , 3 stars (spicier than other places), and you get to pick miso soup or salad with it. We had the Miso soup.

Terrible service by waitress named Courtney. She had a big attitude. We ordered Soup Nor Mai but she brought Gang Nor Mai to our table instead. When we told her that we didn't order the gang nor Mai, she told us we did order the gang nor mai and that we did not order the soup nor Mai. When she realized that she was at the wrong table, she continued to serve the table next to us, without any apology for giving us attitude. We continued to wait another 30 minutes before she came back to our table and told us that the soup nor mai is coming out. We continued to wait another 20 minutes. She never ended up coming back to the table to update us or check in. We ended up going to the front desk and just telling them to cancel our order and asking for the tab. Terrible attitude by that waitress. The other staff was nice.

Service, food quality and portions were phenomenal! Celebrated both my kids bday (14 and 22) here during the summer while I visited Miami. Everything was perfect. Will visit again when we go back to Miami.

Fantastic Update to a Classic Spot! Love what they've done with the restaurant! It still offers the familiar favorites from Thai and Japanese cuisine, but now they've added Lao food to the mix--which looks really interesting and unique. Adam was amazing--super friendly. He recommended some of the new Lao dishes as well as old favorites from back when it was KAM WAH. Great to see that kind of continuity and passion. The red curry was absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of spice. The sushi rolls were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned as always. Can't wait to come back and try more--especially some of that Lao food! Support your local, small family restaurants!

Terrible, all their dishes are about noodles, yet no lo mein??....very strange menu for the Miami crowd. No honey chicken? What Asian place doesn't have honey chicken, every single one, whether fits their menu or not. This restaurant is always empty, I would order a few times a month lo mein and honey chicken, but no more. Portions are not what they used to be. Bring in the crowd and accommodate existing clients or you will be changing owners again, for the 5th time this year.

Food and service here is 10/10. New hidden gem in the west Kendall area. Different cuisine than the usual. Highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT skip the papaya salad or the mango sticky riWill be back again and again.

The Lucy roll was 10/10 so delicious and the restaurant was very nicely decorated. Great spot

So happy that this family owned restaurant is back and even better than before. The food is delicious and the menu is extremely diverse. Interior has been redesigned and feels more spacious...pretty and cozy. The service is amazing...feels like you're eating with family. Highly recommended!!

Sticky Rice was recommended by a friend of mines for a few months, so i finally had a chance to go try it today with my bf & his aunt. Wow, wow & wow is all i can say....everything i've tried from larb to chicken fresh noodle soups and 5 other dishes...was exquisitely amazing!!! Very highly recommend this restaurant if you've never had Laos food, it reminds me so much of Larb Thai-Isan in Fort Lauderdale. I feel like this will be the next Larb restaurant except without the wait time. It's only a matter of time before this restaurant will become busy bc of their excellent food, service and hospitality. Even the owner, Lucy came out and greeted us, what an honor. If i can rate this restaurant a 10 i would do 11 bc it's just amazingly delicious!! I can't wait to come back and try other dishes!!! Also the ambiance was very relaxing and calming. Looking forward to my next visit to Miami to come here again!!

I came here based on the extensive menu and raving reviews, but unfortunately our experience didn't live up to the hype. We arrived at 9:15 and didn't receive any service or drinks until 9:35. At 10:00 we finally got to place our order, but the server barely acknowledged us, simply punched it into the system and walked away without even bringing water. By 10:26, the only thing on our table was a single hand roll. We had to ask about the rest of our food, and by 10:30 our 2 rolls finally arrived. What made this more frustrating was that there were only four other tables, all of which already had their food before we had even ordered. (We were their last table of the night) The food itself was delicious, and it's rare to find this level of quality in Kendall at these prices. The servers did apologize for the wait and brought out complimentary Thai donuts at the end, which was a nice gesture, but by then the experience had already been soured. Maybe coming on a weekday would be better, but based on this visit, the service just didn't match the quality of the food.

Great sushi and Thai food. Finally a nearby sushi spot within the neighborhood that doesn't break the bank.

Sticky rice went above and beyond when they opened. Their food never disappoints, their desserts are out of this world and the employees are always so sweet. I recommend coming! It's 100% worth it . The decor is so impressive especially when Adam painted them himself! When you go you have to try the Thai donuts. Oh and Lucy the owner is the sweetest. Adam, Golf and Valentina are the BEST! Hands down our favorite hidden jem We love sticky rice

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! The food is incredible but this restaurant is so much more than that. The entire staff is incredibly attentive and friendly which can be hard to find. Very laid back vibe and great for the family. Will definitely be returning!

Once known as Kam Wow now it's known as Sticky Rice. Still amazing food and service! The restaurant is super clean and well put together. Will continue to keep coming back and spreading the word of this amazing little restaurant.

This is the freshest sushi I've ever had. Loved it. Service was excellent and price was very reasonable. First time and definitely not the last. Very laid back but great music!!
