Sticky Rice West 3rd

Out of all the Sticky Rice locations, the Beverly Grove restaurant is our favorite. This small, casual Thai spot is a great walk-in option on West 3rd Street, and somewhere you can go with a friend to sit at the bar and split a curry over some Singhas. The menu is the same as you’ll find at its sibling location in Echo Park, including a sweeter-than-usual panang with big chunks of beef, spicy chicken larb that makes our forehead sweat, and deep-fried pork jerky that makes for a dependable bar snack. There’s also a small vintage TV playing early 2000s DVDs for some reason, which we can’t deny is a nice touch.
