After waiting for 30 minutes for our table, we were sat by a very nice girl. We ordered a few sakes and a Sapporo which were brought out promptly. We then ordered our dinner- miso soup, wakame seaweed salad, sushi and a chicken with green curry sauce and rice noodles. The soup came quickly as did the seaweed salad. The noodles took about 20 minutes and were certainly not what anybody familiar with green curry would expect. It was cubed chicken with mismatched, crudely chopped, bland, undercooked vegetables. The thing was it had virtually no sauce or flavor, it was completely dry- no hint of spice or coconut milk. My wife was looking forward to a noodle dish, but after the chicken and the terribly bland miso soup, she opted to try the potstickers. They were edible, mostly because the soy dipping sauce masked the flavor (or lack thereof). The sushi on the other hand came out after waiting for more than an hour, because as our server said ""we closed togogo (their take out/ delivery joint across the street) so we are making all the food over here."" It's worth mentioning that our server also went out of her way to avoid us during the seemingly interminable wait(to bad for her . . . we'd have drank a lot more sake if she'd bothered to check in). The sushi was adequate, but not worth the wait. Behind the sushi bar not a Japanese guy to be found, just Richmond hipsters/hippies. Even the sticky rice was overcooked and under seasoned. The fish was actually nice and fresh. They use True World Seafood from MD, as do I at my restaurant, which is why I decided to try Sticky Rice in the first place. Save your money for a restaurant the deserves to be busy, not one that you frequent because of it's proximity to your house.
Pros: It might be close to your house.
Cons: Everything else.
