More Than Thai Since 2000
Sticky Rice has been bringing bold Lao and Thai flavors to California's Central Valley since 2000. Here's the story behind the kitchen.
Sticky Rice Restaurant | Our Story
Ceres, 2000
Sticky Rice opened in Ceres with one purpose: give the Central Valley an authentic taste of Lao and Thai cuisine — no shortcuts. After two decades, regulars followed the restaurant to its Mitchell Road home without missing a beat.
Not Just Another Thai Restaurant
The menu goes deeper than pad thai — into sai ooah sausage electric with lemongrass and tum makhonung pounded fresh in a mortar. Lao and Thai classics share equal standing here, each dish made the way it was meant to be.
Recipes Worth Protecting
The kitchen hand-wraps its own spring rolls, makes its peanut sauce from scratch, and cures its own beef jerky. When the menu says spicy, it means it — that authenticity is non-negotiable.
Come As You Are
The Mitchell Road dining room is warm and unpretentious — wooden tables, a welcome sign at the door, and twenty-plus years of loyal guests who keep coming back.
