Sticky Rice
Cuisine: Thai and Laotian
Sticky Rice is tucked behind Gateway Plaza (where Domino's and Napoli pizza are) making it a bit hard to find. The quality of food and the prices make Sticky Rice worth the effort. With just 4 tables (they fill up fast), most people get take-out or delivery. But eating at Sticky Rice can be an enjoyable, albeit low-key, experience; since the food doesn't sit around for an extra 10-20 minutes, it tastes even better. The prices are low, the veggies and meat portions are generous and the spicy-ness is easily dialed into to your own personal heat-meter. The Tom Yum soup is arguably the best in town and is a must order at $3.95. In this review, we just tried the Thai food - we'll be back again to sample the Laotian and Sticky Rice side of the menu soon.

Chicken Tom Yum Soup is just delicious, sweet and savory, a Lemongrass and Galangal soup base, mixed Chinese vegetables, straw mushrooms and slices of white mushroom in a vegetable broth - highly recommended
