Fells Point is my absolute favorite place to be. My friend calls me a "lifer", and he says it like it's a bad thing! It's home of some of the diamonds in the rough, and you can find some great reviews on Yelp if you don't believe me! (samio.yelp.com)---> shameless plug?
My first victim has to be, drum roll please.... Sticky Rice (and no pun intended). I just ate here for the first time (can you believe that?) the other day and I have to admit that I was skeptical. I mean, right down the street from great sushi like RA and Nanami, do we really need another sushi restaurant in Fells Point? I guess I had bad feelings towards the bar it used to be, but the bar it is now is AWESOME! Since my taste buds literally go into combat if I even tongue a spicy flavor, I opted for the shrimp avocado roll which was on their specials menu. Yes, how boring can I be, right? But it had this sweet flavor to it with shrimp in the roll and out! My favorite thing, and this will keep me coming in, was their sweet potato tots with homemade honey ranch dipping sauce. I was simply a happy camper! TOTS!
Their menu has a ton to choose from including noodle dishes, sushi, sandwiches and salads, tempura dishes, etc. To add tots to the menu, I really think they knew I was coming. Also, Sticky Rice has karaoke on Tuesday nights! Not that I'd be the one to belt out any kind of melody, but there are some natives who tend to take things a bit seriously. Not only did we turn it into an awesome dance party, but there are at least 6 mics so you don't feel obligated to master 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' all by your lonesome. Definitely something NOT to miss!
