With its charming atmosphere and bad attitude you won"t find anything quite like it. Our specialty is our fresh sushi bar. With rolls like g.i.jane, shiitake happens and Godzirra, how could you go wrong? Our huge bowls of noodles will satisfy big and small. Large salads, and a selection of other entrees round out the menu. We also feature a kids menu! Don't forget the (soon to be famous) bucket of tater tots with our special tot sauce. Sticky Rice, established last century has been rolling on and on. Sticky Rice serves up an unusual mix of American, Pan-Asian entrees in a friendly, inexpensive and inviting atmosphere. Spring rolls, potstickers, sushi, noodles and edamame (steamed soy beans) are simple and standard. Lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians!

This restaurant definitely lives up to hype!! The food, atmospher and service were stellar!! If I had to give a downside, the pricing could be a bit more transparent and jalapenos are a in quite a few menu items If you don't like heat, your choices will be limited. However, the jalapeno dishes are not brutally spicy. I'm not a spice girl (pun intended) but heat was tolerable. These are minor downsides. This place is a must visit!! Kudos!

I ate here twice last week! Christmas dinner for our family (seven people) was a delight; the place was full so it was a little noisy, but we weren't bothered by that. Sunday brunch (four people) a few days later was less crowded and perfectly quiet. Both times the food was excellent, the service was attentive, and we had a great time. I enjoyed the onion soup and beef tenderloin on Christmas and the Dover Sole looked fabulous too. The Belgian waffle and bacon on Sunday were perfect. Overall, a great discovery and I will be back next time I'm in DC for sure!

The miso ramen and stamina spicy were excellent! We also got the whiskey infused dumplings and the flavors were phenomenal. If you like spicy, ask for the spice bomb to be added to your ramen, it’s got the perfect ghost pepper kick!
