So far atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. The place is adorable!! And out waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable since we didn’t have a clue what we wanted!! Oh wow we ordered the crab Rangoon, egg rolls, Lao spicy sausage, Pad Thai seafood, drunken noodles, and a Beef salad that came with soup I do not remember the name.. they were all fantastic my favorite was probably the egg rolls though… wow! So glad we stopped in here can’t wait to come back!!
We noticed a new restaurant in this space and were surprised at how good the reviews were so of course we had to try it. My husband and I stopped at lunchtime and ordered the crab Rangoon, egg rolls and an order of their spring rolls with the peanut sauce. Everything was Excellent! I could've made a meal out of the spring rolls and I've never liked them anywhere. The peanut sauce was so good they should bottle it! My husband ordered the house special pho (beef,tripe,meatballs) and I had the chicken pad Thai. Best pad Thai in town I stand on that! My husband loved the pho soup. We have enough leftovers for dinner. I can't say enough good things. The restaurant was nice inside and clean. family owned everyone was friendly and great service and great prices!
I was excited to try this new restaurant and it certainly impressed me! The food was fresh and delicious, and the boba drinks were fantastic. I also really loved how they decorated the space. We will definitely be back!
I had the drunken noodles, my husband had the sausage with sticky rice and the spring rolls were the appetizer. The lychee green tea was so good!
As traveling healthcare workers, one of our favorite things to do is try out the food when we visit a new city. My partner and I have been in Rockford for several months so far, and this is easily THE BEST meal we have had. He's a Chicago native, so food is usually lackluster in comparison. However, he couldn't stop talking about how delicious the cuisine was. We tried egg rolls, spring rolls with peanut sauce, pad kee mao, beef pho, and a couple of the teas. Everything was fresh and delicious. The flavors were everything I hoped for. The portion sizes were very generous for the price. Staff was very welcoming, and the environment was great as well. We are already deciding if tomorrow is too soon to go back. Do yourself a favor, and make the trip!
Visiting the area and found Sticky Rice Bites through the city's Restaurant Week. So glad we stopped. The atmosphere is cute and relaxing. Service was wonderful, just the right amount of visits to the table. Food was so tasty. We ordered the restaurant week specials: egg rolls crab Rangoon, pad ka pow, pad see ew, chocolate banana roll, nam wan taro boua loi, thai iced tea, and Lao iced coffee.
The Rangoon was perfect. Not too sweet and you could taste the crab. Was told the egg rolls were very good. The main dishes had wonderful flavors that blended well. The desserts and drinks were a perfect bookend to the meal.
We will definitely be back the next time we are visiting.
First time coming here with my husband. We enjoyed the food so much. We will definitely be back. My husband is not usually an adventurous eater and I’m surprised how much he enjoyed himself here. Food was amazing. Service was great and the atmosphere has such a cozy vibe. We’ll be back. 😊
The exterior is very misleading, as soon as you step inside the restraunt your greeted with a cheery modern atmosphere with amazing comfortable seating. we ordered around like 4-5 things, and I have to say the drunken noodles (wide noodles we like to call them) were my favorite with the mango slushie being my second favorite. Service was very nice and she was very kind and greeting. I highly encourage people to check this place out! (We even got to try out a special new flavor 👀)
Great food and great service. Clean. You can tell they put in their all for you.
Excellent service ; cozy , quiet atmosphere; had fried chicken rice, egg rolls & special beef pho… would recommend all of it!!!

We had a great experience at Sticky Rice Bites. The food was excellent and the service was the best it could, as it was very busy. The atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant. We definitely will return to Sticky Rice Bites.
One of my new favorite places to go.
We order Pho, Larb, Papaya salad(Tum Moa) and Kow piek. Everything tasted just like Real authentic Laos flavor foods, our complaints are the portions of the foods. Pho and Kow Piek are mostly broths, there's hardly any noodles. Tum moa is 🍅, thai 🍆, a little bit of papaya mixed together , no meat and it's hardly enough for 1 person. Larb is the only good one out of all we ate but for the prices they charged , it could use some adjustment?
Delicious food! I went with my parents to celebrate my birthday and had a great time. The interior is very beautiful and we were able to get a booth seat near the windows which was a bonus. I ordered the pho knowing it would be fire and it absolutely was. My parents had no idea what half of the menu items were and the waitress was very helpful in regard to that. Definitely try the thai milk tea if you visit.
Great food and service. The owners were very kind and made sure we were happy with our service.
The crab Rangoons we got were amazing and huge! Beef pho is super flavorful and a generous serving. I had to take over half of it home.
The food is amazing and I'm really excited to see how things turn out on a fully open evening. Extremely reasonably priced for the amount of food given with the entrées. Wonderful presentation, attentive service; I'm so glad this place has emerged!
I had the Beef Pho and the broth was good, the issue I had was I did not get any bean sprouts, Jalapeños or Thai Basil…that was disappointing!
2 hrs drive was so worth it. Everything was so delicious. Staffs were very friendly. Bathroom was clean. 10 out of 10 recommend this place. Would drive 2 hrs to eat here again.

First time eating Lao food. We went with a group & ordered a variety of dishes. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this cute little restaurant.
Food was excellent, people were friendly, owner came out to greet us and made sure we were all satisfied. Highly recommend.
I’d give this place more than 5 stars if I could! Being from California, I have missed some good Pho and Asian food. This is my go-to pho place since they’ve open and has made moving from CA much better. Their house special pho has the best meats and is hands down the best pho in town. My husband’s go to is the sukiyaki noodle soup with seafood. They also have the best spring rolls, which I’m also very particular about.
Not only is the food great, the atmosphere is equally great. It’s nicely updated and the staff and owner are so genuine and kind. Highly recommend!

Great place great food. Drinks were awesome. Strawberry lemon soda, just great.
This restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is delicious and bursting with flavor, and the vibe is warm and inviting. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience even better. Great food, great people, and great energy—I highly recommend it!
Very good food, love the drunken noodle and spring rolls! We also ordered a chicken fried rice that really hit the spot! Portion sizes were generous and the environment is very modern/cozy. We had a nice date night here. Thank you
Amazing food at amazing prices! Loved my meal so much I almost wanted to order another to go. Also the Crab Ragoon’s are the best!
they have amazing food!! the atmosphere is so cozy and cute . i had the beef pho and it’s literally the best pho i’ve ever had EVER. the service is even better , shout out sophia :) i’m so glad this place opened and i hope they stay around for a long time!
Love the food here, the pho, the kao piak and the lad nar is very yummy. The atmosphere is great. Inside the restaurant is very nice and very clean. The service was awesome. Everyone was so nice. I would recommend this place. I would for sure be back for more.
First time coming here with my husband. We enjoyed the food so much. We will definitely be back. My husband is not usually an adventurous eater and I’m surprised how much he enjoyed himself here. Food was amazing. Service was great and the atmosphere has such a cozy vibe. We’ll be back. 😊
All the food I had was absolutely delicious
And with an amazingly kind staff with the atmosphere made the whole place a vibe definitely recommend. P.s best crab Rangoon ive literally ever had in my entire life.

Love the sukiyaki!
Best pho in Rockford! Me and my boyfriend walked in 30 minutes before close any other food place might have rolled their eyes at us but we were happily greeted in. Our server was the sweetest and was kind enough to let us have a sample of the milk teas which we ended up loving. All of the food was very fresh , the restaurant is beautiful decorated, and especially clean.
Sticky Rice Bites is such a great addition to the area. Over multiple visits trying different things every bite has been delicious. The flavor nuance is simply keyed in. The atmosphere is unique and playful. Staff is all fantastic and fun. Good energy and good vibes all around! 🫶🏼

Lots of yummy fresh bites to try! Don't walk, run
love the place beautiful inside food looks amazing and server she was super nice !
Smackin
So happy we found pho soup since moving from Connecticut to Rockford. Very happy that This restaurant is close to our house and the food is superb. The atmosphere is superb fantastic all the way around.. Perfect, thank you oh perfect thank you thank you ! And they have bubble tea yay !!
The food was amazing and is good place to come with friends.
Great atmosphere, enjoyed the food!!!!!
Excellent food! Sophia was very polite and made a fantastic Lychee green tea! Definitely going to be a regular spot to eat.
Matcha milk tea was great!! The space is nice and clean and well decorated😊
A nice little hole in the wall place that seems to be family run. I adore their pad Thai, drunken noodles, spring rolls of both varieties, and cannot say enough praise about the crab Rangoon. I remember when this place used to be a sushi joined, then switched over a couple times, but I hope this place stays because so far the food is delicious and eventually I’ll get a couple friends to try the chicken feet meal. lol😅
Also, for those who love Pokémon go, there is a PokéStop here just so y’all know and I did hatch a three star shiny meow if that makes any difference lol
The vibes of this restaurant is just amazing, very comforting and the food is delicious here! Let’s not talk about the drinks!!! I love their mango slushiiiii boba, so good!
I love the atmosphere at Sticky Rice Bites. The staff are super friendly and so helpful. Not only that but the food is spectacular and has a homey taste. I recommend the beef pho and of course, it has to pair with the lychee lime green tea!
The whole restaurant is so aesthetic. The beef pho was the best pho i’ve had and their thai tea boba was delicious.
I’m usually not a huge fan of pho, but the broth was very rich and flavorful. The portion sizes are also huge.
I ordered the Pad See Ew and about fell to my knees it was so delicious! It was my first time trying it so I was a bit nervous and I’m picky. It was so yummy! I went with my mom and she ordered the Papaya Salad and Spicy Lao Sausage and both were also amazing 🙏
Good food and clean interior
Great ambience and clean store. Food looks great too.
Amazing food amazing service
Great experience
Very friendly customer service and super accommodating for food allergies. The spring rolls and fruit tea was delicious! Definitely will come back!
What a cute cozy restaurant! The seafood fried rice is something I’ve been searching for for a while! Will come back here again for sure!
The atmosphere of the restaurant was incredibly welcoming and positive! Our server was consistent and kind, and the food was really delicious!
The food was great and the staff and service was amazing.
The food and service was so good!! Such a cute atmosphere!!
Food is delicious, nice staffs, and great service
They are so nice good customer service food very good much come back again
The matcha milk tea was perfectly sweet. The khao piek sen was seasoned so well that I finished the whole bowl. The laad nah was the crispiest I’ve ever had. What a treat! The nam neuang spring rolls were super fresh. The service was great too. I definitely recommend this place!
The staffs are so friendly and the food is delicious. 10/10 recommend
4th time coming back here. I always crave it when I come to Rockford, specifically the papaya salad. Fresh food and usually very tasty. Dinged a star off due a couple dishes lacking flavor, besides that I would highly recommend to come out and try some dishes that you might not see too often in other places.
Forgot to add that servers always super friendly and helpful.
I’ve been here about 5 times and the food/service was great and the people here are awesome, I would say my favorite item on the menu is khao piek sen or the thum Lao. One of the most recent times I’ve been here I only had one problem where I found something at the bottom of my water that looked like sand but other than that nothing else has seemed to be off with this place.
Great food will definitely be coming back to try other menu items
This was my first time trying Pho and it was really good! The egg rolls and crab Rangoon’s tasted crisp and fresh. Did not taste frozen at all. The food reminded me of a friend that made homemade Thai food. Would come back!
Very friendly staff. Extremely relaxing atmosphere. Super delicious authentic Lao food. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!
Food is so flavorful and drinks are amazing! Servers are very attentive. Highly recommend checking this out. Will be coming back soon!
the cutest little place! great environment, great staff, and great food! i got the drunken noodles and i would 100% recommend! the boba is very good aswell! definitely will be back :)
Amazing food, super cute environment, and the sweetest waitress!! will definitely be back :))
The food is authentic and comforting. The owners are kind and welcoming. My family loves to eat here!
Clean and beautifully decorated. Seating was comfortable. Excellent food and generous portions. Food was served piping hot. We had crab Rangoon, fresh spring rolls, pad Thai, and lad na with crispy noodles. Ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Best pad Thai in the area, imo.
The service was awesome, food was great! The chef even came out to see how we were enjoying our food. I got the food made the more traditional way and it was super good, highly recommended!
10/10. Love the Tum Thai. The server is very nice and friendly.
I really enjoy the spicy Lao sausage, egg rolls, and the Tum Thai (papaya salad). It’s one of the best papaya salad I had. I also love the Thai tea and would recommend it.
My daughter & I stopped in and are so glad we did! Looks exactly as it does on social media- warm and inviting with touches of heritage around the room. The food is fresh, flavorful and so yummy (def try the crispy noodles!). The drinks are bright & refreshing. We're leaving full & happy. Wishing this place all the best as we'd love to continue to come back. Happy holidays!
La comida es muy rica. El servicio es excelente
Food was amazing, great taste, great service highly recommended. Will be back to try the Pho.
Just had the Lychee lime green tea and it was out of this world, 10/10 would recommend!
Such a kind family! Flavors of the food are amazing and you can tell very authentic. Would definitely come back to try everything on the menu.
I ordered the Khal Piek noodles and I was shocked. I have been looking for this dish everywhere and most places only have Pho! I am truly grateful for this place because it will be my go to spot for these noodles!
Coming from someone who is very homesick, this place truly tastes like I am home as I got the Khao Piek. One of the best Lao-fusion foods in the area! Service was super friendly with the owners coming to talk to us!
I had the Pad See Ew and finished my dinner with a Lychee Slush. I am very satisfied with my meal!!
I freaking love this place, they’re always so nice and the food is phenomenal!!
Excellent service and the food was amazing
Fried rice 10/10
Atmosphere 10/10
Laotian sausage 10/10
Will definitely return
Awesome service. Great food
Good food and great service!
The food is absolutely DELICIOUS. Had a lunch date with my best friend, and decided to swing by Sticky Rice Bites because they had such great reviews and we were not disappointed. I ordered the chicken egg rolls, pad see ew, and a Thai tea with boba. The egg rolls were perfectly crispy and tasted great with the chili sauce (and they were also good without), my pad see ew was a big portion, and the veggies were fresh and not overcooked. My Thai tea was creamy and honestly so delicious I ordered another to-go. I would've liked a little more chicken in my entree, but only because it was so damn good. This will definitely be a go to spot whenever I visit Rockford.
Best restaurant to go to for Lao food! Loved the atmosphere of this place and the service was phenomenal. I ordered the thum lao and the jasmine milk tea with boba and they were sooo good. Cannot stress it enough this place is amazing - will be revisiting.
I’ve been searching for the perfect Spring Roll with peanut sauce and found it here.
The Kee Mao was tasty with just the right amount of hot.
This is my fav Rockford dining.
Lovely atmosphere with friendly staff.
Can’t wait to go back.
Don’t miss out on this special
Our favorite restaurant, nice staff and great food.
Lovely atmosphere and convenient location. Staff is super kind. You can tell the owners take pride in their business.
Yummy food
The pho house special broth was full of flavor.. and you have to try the crab ragoon..
Came in for lunch and ordered pad see ew- pho special- crab ragoon and spring rolls. Everything we had was excellent! Crab ragoon was definitely my favorite! Will be back soon.
This place has great fresh spring rolls and the chicken wings are very delicious too. We loved the Pad See Eww noodle dish. Lots of soups for a cold day, tasty boba drinks, and very friendly staff.
I got the Pad See Ew and the veggies were cooked perfectly, however, it was pretty bland and lacked salt. I got my food to go and as I got to the last bite, I found a long black hair in my food. 😢 I also ordered the chicken wings and they were also bland. The menu online said it came with rice, however, they charged me $2.50 for it. I ordered mango tea with boba and the tea flavor wasn’t very strong, and it was too sweet for my liking, but the boba pearls were the perfect texture. My total was $31 and I was unsatisfied. Overall, I probably wouldn’t go back. Rock Pho’d continues to be the best Asian fusion in Rockford in my opinion.
It was my first time here and I decided to order the khao piek sen based off another review and it did not disappoint!! Loved the noodles and how flavorful the broth was. Our server was so friendly as well and she kept checking in with us. Will definitely be coming back:)!
The food was good. Tried a Laotian sausage made in-house; extremely good. The sausage was partially cut into thirds, and the pieces were a little big. I think quarters would work better because there are no knives. It came with sticky rice and a tomato sauce. The rice didn’t have a lot of flavor and I would have liked more of the sauce. We also had chicken pad Thai and it was good. The chicken was very tender. Will definitely go back to try some of their other offerings.
Ordered a carryout food order for the 1st time. Absolutely delicious to eat, excellent process for ordering, excellent people we encountered, very nice inside restaurant. Next time (and there will definitely be multiple next times!) we will eat inside. Thank you, Sticky Bites!!
The food was so good, the service was great. Everyone was so friendly, serving every plate with a smile. I have experienced the past businesses that took place in the same building and none have been as great as this one. As a lao girl who was just craving some spicy lao sausage with sticky rice and some yummy sauce, I totally recommend! I also go a lychee slush with lychee jelly and it was amazing. I introduced my in laws to the thai iced tea with boba and they enjoyed it. Even my picky mother in law enjoyed the pad thai! definitely recommend and will be coming back!
I discovered this restaurant thanks to one of the employees, and I thought I might as well give it a go. I visited that place at night, and to be honest, the matcha beverage could use some improvement, but the beef fried rice was incredibly delicious, and my friend and I genuinely enjoyed it. I would love to return and try different foods.
I tried Sticky Rice Bites for the first time on 12/05/2024.
I came back today, the very next day for lunch again.
Very good food. Generous portions.
Would be a nice place for a date or group.
Nicely decorated. Music plays softly so you and your friends/family can hear each other talk.
You can even ask for items to be made vegetarian.
I hope they have a lunch time menu in the future.
So glad this restaurant is in Rockford!
Yum!
Love this place! The food is delicious and the drinks are scrumptious as well. The atmosphere is very cute, with beautiful artwork and decorations. The crab rangoon are so delicious and crispy - a great appetizer. The beef pad see ew is delicious and saucy and the broccoli is perfectly tender. The Khao piek sen is my personal favorite - chewy udon noodles with soft chicken and warm broth. Overall, I would definitely come again! Sticky Rice Bites is a great place for a comforting meal.
We were excited to try this new restaurant!
The food was delicious, and the service was excellent!
The interior is decorated really well.
I had the laab, and my wife had the drunken noodles.
The spring rolls and the chicken wings are terrific appetizers!
We will be back!!
