A casual new restaurant has opened in Fort Worth that’s like an exciting Asian adventure: Called Sweet Stacks<\/a>, it’s a mostly to-go spot that just opened at 1515 Magnolia Ave., in the space previously occupied<\/a> by the Vice Burgers vegan shop.<\/p>\n

Sweet Stacks calls itself a one-stop destination for the best of Asian flavors, bringing together authentic Asian food, drinks, and desserts under one roof, with a mission to deliver a culinary experience that’s flavorful and fun.<\/p>\n

It’s a spinoff-of-sorts of Sweet Rice, a small Asian restaurant chain that has locations in Dallas-Fort Worth and Washington state.<\/p>\n

Sweet side
The menu at Sweet Stacks stars souffle-style Japanese pancakes \u2014 which are taller than regular pancakes and have a light, fluffy, jiggly texture, almost like a souffle. They offer them sweet, topped with fresh fruit for $16; or savory, with bacon & eggs for $18.<\/p>\n

Matcha
They do a stellar beverage program with matcha lattes<\/a> in a variety of flavors including the very popular strawberry matcha latte<\/a>, but also mango matcha latte and the brilliant Asian mashup Thai tea matcha latte.<\/p>\n

One pro trick<\/a>: Order the pancakes with a side of matcha cream.<\/p>\n

Asian entrees
Sweet Stacks also offers a menu similar to Sweet Rice featuring with Asian, Thai, and Laotian food, ranging from Laotian spicy sausage made in-house; to Japanese standards like edamame; to Chinese and Thai dishes, including potstickers, egg rolls, pad Thai, and fried rice.<\/p>\n

Specials are creative such as Spicy Basil Spaghetti featuring noodles with stir fried cabbage, onion, and green bell pepper, in a chili sauce enhanced by Thai basil.<\/p>\n

Chef Mina
Sweet Stacks is from a team that includes hard-working restaurateur and chef Mina Sourignavong, who has partnered with Sweet Rice founder Von Linavong to open five locations in Texas including Frisco and their most recent location in Bishop Arts<\/a>, which they opened in 2024.<\/p>\n

They all feature a menu that incorporates Thai and Laotian dishes and their Laotian sausage, duck fat fried rice, sticky rice, and traditional soups have developed a following wherever they go.<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth outlet is small and everything is served in to-go containers, but they have a couple spaces for a sit-down, as well as the patio they inherited from Vice Burger.<\/p>\n
