Reviews for Stiks in Sarasota, FL
A hidden gem! They had an incredible menu of vegan options, at an incredible price! The sweet peanut curry and fresh roll were... delicious. And the pandan boba was ???? (although a little watery, but that usually happens with dairy-free milk, so not a bigdeal). The fried rice wasn’t very oily at all (I don’t know how they did it!). I love the vibe in the restaurant, super cutedecor and plants and great to go with friends/on a date! The food came out incredibly fast, and the staff was super friendly (Iwatched a very busy staff member drop everything and run to help an older man walking with his food to his car, and thought itwas so sweet!). I do wish that they had plates or bowls rather than the single-use take-out containers.\n\nOverall, I’m sohappy to see so many vegan options, loved the vibe, and I can’t wait to come back! Read more
Stiks has a fun vibe, and the food was great. I was a little overwhelmed with the menu, not being too familiar with the options.... I was glad the toppings were on the side, so I could taste them separately. I really enjoyed it, especially as a “light”tasting meal (like didn’t make me feel heavy like a lot of places do after eating out). Give it a try! Read more
A friend recommended this place and it did not dissapoint at all. All of the food was very tasty and authentic. I have to admit... i was a little skeptical but after trying their food it is on point. We ordered green curry, red curry and pad thai. All of themwere great. The lady at the counter was very nice and friendly. Read more
Just had an amazing lunch here with wife and friends. Love the complete renovation, the atmosphere, the food and the super... friendly staff. I spoke directly with one of the owners, she was the sweetest. This is a must try whether you are vegan or not.A must try if you are interested in great food . I know we will be back many times!

First, I was THRILLED to find a Vegan restaurant!Secondly, I learned Stiks is formerly Taste of Asia.\nI called to ask questions... the online menu couldn\'t answer. They pointed out what I already knew: they don\'t take orders over the phone. I was treatedlike a nuisance because I wanted to know about the difference between certain noodles & dishes they have - not all oriental typerestaurants serve the same dishes the same way. My call was passed around with annoyance because they expected me to blindlyorder & pay a lot of money at a restaurant I\'ve never been to. I made my online order but the order didn\'t go through. Then Iwas told to go in & order AGAIN! This was the REAL nuisance: I was already late for something important but had to wait evenlonger! Still, I was ready to drop dead from having nothing to eat all day.\n\nFinally, a blond-haired lady had a friendly chatwith me while I ordered. During the wait, she gave me a sample of the Lavender Boba, which was good but contained coconut milk(NOT ETHICAL IF PICKED BY MONKEYS).\n\nMy order came out quickly. I paid for: side order of Fried Rice, Pad Thai with Tofu &\"Small Bites\" Fried Tofu (I included photos). Soy sauce wasn\'t needed for the tofu & fried rice like they typically do. Ireally enjoyed the tofu cooked well & never had it fried in this manner. I had a few bites of the Pad Thai, which tasted unique.My favorite parts of all dishes was the tofu, which filled me up quickly, leaving a good portion of leftovers. Another plus Inoticed: none or very little oil stains at the bottom of each box I usually see in mainstream oriental food.\n\nI might stop byagain. But I didn\'t like how my phone call was handled. The blond lady\'s comments about the restaurant being Vegan centeredonly on health/diet. I was disappointed there were no aspects of ethical standards towards animals. I admit that under mycomplicated circumstances, I can\'t maneuver a consistent Vegan diet in an animal-consuming society l Read more
This place is a complete vibe! The owner did an amazing job decorating and creating such an amazing atmosphere to eat, hang out,... relax with friends and get some tasty food! The portions are perfect and prices so affordable. You can get such a variety ofitems without breaking the bank. The spring rolls were to die for! And the pho and dumplings I had were also so delicious. Ourentire table ate every last bite of everything we had. This fast casual, Asian fusion concept is your next favorite dinner spot.If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. It does not disappoint! Just look how cute it is!!! Read more
OMG!!! My new favorite go to spot- Stiks. The staff is friendly and offers suggestions if you are not familiar with Asian food.... The environment is inviting & set up mainly as an order to go service. Most of all the food is absolutely delicious! Read more
