City Paper Review

Sticky Rice, a sushi joint, has managed a feat few other District bars have managed: bringing tater tots back from grade school cafeteria lunch tray oblivion. The secret’s in the sauce–one dip in Sticky’s spicy mayoey concoction, and next thing you know, you’ve devoured a whole bucket of those crunchy things. You'll need the time to take in the scene: Beyond the bar hangs a giant gong, rung to signal karaoke nights and speed bingo. The bartenders are disarmingly attentive, while the sushi chefs have piercings, tattoos, tight pants and dreads. If you’re lucky, you might even witness some table dancing. Order up a bucket of tots, Sticky Balls (sort of a Japanese fusion arancini), and some PBRs and croon the night away to Usher or The Velvet Underground.

Not sure who would think the potions are too small-- I had a noodle bowl and it fed me for 2 meals! The prices are great and the sushi is amazing!

Fantastic tater tots, great drink specials. A unique place with unique bar events - like blingo (speed bingo) on Thursday nights! My favorite neighborhood bar.

Minuscule portions, sky high prices, sketchy neighborhood.
