Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food here is great - relatively simple but delicious - and this is matched by the service: staff are very knowledgeable, warm and accommodating. Also good to see vegan options on the menu for my partner. Surely one of the best Thai restaurant on the Gold Coast.

Sticky Rice 🍚 has the most delectable Pad See Ew (gluten free noodles & chicken).
The friendliest & most attentive staff ever as I was checking out a place for a Xmas dinner with friends ahead of making the booking. So lovely I decided to stay n grab a bite. The restaurant has a relaxing deck out back which is perfect on a balmy Gold Coast night!

We were recommended Sticky Rice Thai from a staff member at Niche and Co when we asked where we could get some delicious food for dinner.
We tried to get a table, even though we were told they book out quickly but unfortunately all the had was a late sitting and we were hungry early.
So we ordered pick up and when we got home there were a lot of yums and oh my gosh this is amazing comments.
Always love a good Thai meal and this restaurant did not disappoint.

We did a take away from here two nights ago and while the food was very nice I have to say that $24.00 dollars for a couple of lettuce leaves and some duck and salad was far from what I would call value for money.
They really need to get their portions into perspective for this amount of money. Far too small. 9/10 for food quality, 3/10 for value for money.

What a buzzing little restaurant this is! There’s a reason it was fully booked! The food and the staff are exceptional! We all loved what we ordered but be warned the servings are large so you could easily share plates! Sticky Rice Thankyou for an excellent night!

The food is not authentic and when we peered a look into the kitchen we could understand why - all white kitchen (including the wait staff). Our calamari was rubbery and noodles over cooked without any flavour. Do yourself a favour and head to the numerous (authentic) Thai joints in Coolangatta or just over the border in Tweed.

We didn't book, they fitted us in anyway when it was packed. I'm so glad they did it was actually the best Thai I have ever eaten and we had to come from WA to get it. The massaman curry just melted in your mouth. The chicken cashews was so so tasty and the crispy rotti finnished it of. Highly recommend this place. The staff really made the night, efficient and friendly.

Fresh, fast, friendly - can't say enough about how much I love this restaurant and I'm super fussy about where I eat out. The food is incredible, so fresh and delicious and the staff are really accommodating. Is a family favourite for us. Would highly recommend booking if you can, although in my experience they'll always do their best to try and find you somewhere to sit. Fabulous menu options for groups too :)

Went with my partner for dinner on a Tuesday night. Rupert was absolutely awesome from making the booking to calling us to let us know we could come earlier. Our waitress was Elysia who was also lovely. Food was absolutely delicious...better than Thai food in Thailand itself. We had the prawn crackers and fish cakes, followed by beef massaman (the best) and prawn pad Thai. Would highly recommend as all boxes ticked from service to taste. Cocktails also great! Southside especially.

The restaurant was surprisingly small but very comfortable seating. The décor is classy and suited for the gold coast. Friendly staff, good service and the cocktails are delicious being a fussy drinker I was impressed, Sticky rice cuisine is the best thai food I've had on the gold coast and would defiantly recommend!

Papaya salad fresh and not too salty. Soft shell crabs tasteless and cold. Chicken satay sauce very thick. Red duck curry very fresh, however no heat to it whatsoever. It wasn’t even ‘mild’. Coconut rice not the best. Very hard to break up. I picked up takeaway. The meal was not even warm. A bit disappointed. However, I may go back and see if its any better.

It’s been a long time since I have rated a restaurant so highly. Seriously couldn’t fault it. From the moment we booked the staff were professional and maintained the standard throughout our dining experience. The food was fresh, delicious and innovative. Wine and cocktail list was again outstanding. A taste of Thailand with a slight twist. Loved it, can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend.

10/10 service and food was great too.
Didn't have a booking and walked in solo on a Friday about 7:30pm. Unfortunately they were fully booked but the lovely Shawny helped with great food suggestions, despite my dithering. All the staff were lovely, interacting with me during the evening. I had a lovely Salmon for main and the Betel leaf entrees. I want to really give the staff a wrap, all lovely and attentive and made me want to review them and this great restaurant.

Absolutely amazing experience.
The fit out is amazing and the staff were very friendly and also knowledgeable about the menu. Hands down best Thai food we have ever had! Wine and cocktails menu topped it off! Couldn’t recommend higher.

Own Time, Own Pace: The Ultimate Guide to Sneeky Mid-Weeky on the Gold Coast
Let’s face it—plotting paid leave around major holidays and long weekends is always tempting. Instead of vying (read: fighting) for these sought-after blocks, go off the beaten path with an energising mid-week break. Swap screen time for some well-deserved “me time” and revel in a calmer, more relaxed pace.
