My partner and I decided to try this place today and we definitely don't regret it! For appetizers we ordered the Chicken Spring Rolls w/ Peanut Sauce and Cream Cheese Wontons; and for our main course, my partner ordered the Smoked Pork Belly (served with Purple Sticky Rice and Hmong Pepper Sauce) while I ordered the Crying Tiger Steak (cooked medium). We also decided to order the Caterpillar Roll since we both are big sushi fans!The Smoked Pork Belly was SO GOOD! It was perfectly crispy, fatty and cooked to perfection. I have to admit, I stole a few pieces from my partner's plate!My Crying Tiger Steak was also super delicious, especially paired with the Hmong Pepper Sauce. The steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it, although I think next time I will order it cooked medium-rare.Out of everything we ordered, the only thing we weren't a huge fan of was the Caterpillar Roll. Something about it just didn't taste right to me, and to be honest, I think it was just one of the sauces that they put on top! I will definitely try a different sushi roll next time.The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality. I love that it has a wide variety of Asian cuisines ranging from Hmong, Vietnamese, and Thai to standard Chinese-American classics, Japanese-inspired sushi and more!I urge everyone who loves Asian cuisine to give this place a try!
I went here with my brother and husband, and we loved it! My husband had the spicy basil chicken, my brother had the drunken noodles, and I had Rocky’s Special Pho. The food comes out piping hot. The food tasted phenomenal! We went on a Saturday evening and didn’t need to wait to be seated. The staff was friendly and attentive. We plan on coming back to try other items on the menu. I highly recommend this place.
Definitely a hidden gem! I wanted to try out a lot of stuff here because their variety is insane. Sushi was better than I thought. I got the snow mountain roll (I forgot what the other roll was called). Had the Pad Thai - a bit too sweet but still very good. The pho broth was super flavorful, maybe heavy handed on the fish sauce, but still delicious. The beef brisket was overpriced, but tender and chow down good! Wish they would give out steak knives with these, at least. Papaya salad was a little too sweet but still better than what I've had. Spring rolls and the peanut sauce that it came with was good. I was overall impressed with the food. Service was okay, considering they must be understaffed but it wasn't too horrible. Server was still smiling and very friendly. Will be back!
Wow! Very impressed with the food and exceptional service.Chicken wings (no sauce/glaze) had the perfect crunch. Dont care much for super flavorful wings, which these werent, as thats what side of pepper dip is for. Dip had good lime/fish sauce ratio.Crunchy Cali Roll- nice presentation, tasted better than expected. Didnt fall apart. No complaints.Papaya Salad (lao style)- not the absolute best but definitely among my top 5. Perfect balance of flavors, nothing overwhelming. Only regret is I had to share. Next time its all mine and ordering 5/5 spice. Typical portion for price.Beef Larb (cooked)- again, well rounded flavors slightly on limey side which is preferred.Drunken Noodles- good char, not overpowered by too many veggies as I've had elsewhere. Good meat and noodle portion. Worth ordering.Beef Brisket/Hmong stye- will admit not an expert on brisket but I enjoyed this dish tho I felt maybe a bit overpriced. However, others may disagree and its all good- different strokes/different folks.Sticky Rice (purple)- not hard and overcooked. Was what sticky rice should be. Portion size adequate.Already looking to return to try other dishes (pho and eggrolls!) tho may be a while since a bit out of the way. Absolutely great customer service, periodically checking in to see if anything needed and not excessive to point of annoyance. Sure, wait times a bit longer but sign on front door clearly states staff shortage so dont be a karen. Only suggestion I'd make is consider food pairings when bringing out dishes (i.e. with papaya, wings or larb, also bring out rice if ordered, which I'd assume is readily available). And if wanting to go extra mile, tho I'm being a karen now, bamboo baskets for sticky rice as I noticed rice got harder longer it was uncovered. Overall great dining experience.
I saw people were posting and recommending to try this place. We decided to give it a try since it closed to us. I was so disappointed because of how bad their meats were burned and still served us. Most of those burned meats couldn't be eaten. 1st and last time. Their beef brisket looks so good in the picture, and I couldn't wait to give it a try but also disappointed, too. The taste isn't appetizing at all. I couldn't continue eating my brisket. Their wings were ok but rather go to Buffalo wings for it.The only dish we liked and felt like good to eat was just their papaya salad. Overall, it would be a no next time for us. This's just our experience, and you might be different because different people have different tastes of food. The tastes weren't worth the money. Not recommended.
Food was delicious and fast. Also great service. Prices were fair for what we ordered. I did notice some food like appetizers were a little pricier than other places we have gone to so we stuck to the main entrees. Food didn’t disappoint. And we also got freebubble tea for leaving a review. Would come back again when we are in the neighborhood!
This place DOES live up to the hype......contrary to one of the more recent reviews.But like all places, this is highly subjective and likely depends on what you order.First off. If you're visiting here - or any restaurant - thinking you're entitled to a plate delivered to you in within 10 minutes, you should just stay home.Second, we are in a unique and very challenging time for the service industry. Cut them all some slack. Be patient and be kind or, again, stay home.That said, our wait was MAYBE a little longer than usual but we were warned right off the bat and the service was absolutely exceptional.As for the food. One plate was INCREDIBLE, another was really good, but nothing mind blowing.Ordered the BBQ Combo B, brisket with rice and sweet rolls. I'm not a huge brisket lover but it was very good. The plate overall was pretty plain, with rice and sweet rolls. Kind of redundant. Thought this plate was over priced at $18.The pad tai - possibly the best we've ever had. Incredible. We will absolutely be back to have this again and I am excited to try their other Asian inspired cuisines.All in all, an excellent experience. Check them out.
Ordered spring rolls and they were delicious.Got a Vietnamese coffee bubba tea to go with. Really good!! We tried the Rocky’s house platter and pad Thai. Everything was delicious. Recommend stopping by
Foods a bit pricey compare to other restaurants. Waited for about a good 30+ minutes for our food. Servers kept apologizing about how long it was taking, since they had many online orders, which we appreciated. The first thing that came out was the eggroll, it was hot out of the oil. The eggroll flavor is ok. Next was the springroll. We ordered pork springroll but was informed that they were out of pork, so we switch to shrimp. I like how the springroll is freshly made. The flavor was ok, taste like any other springrolls. I ordered the mango passion lemonade tea drink, it was good. The sushi came out next and it was the favorite. We got the angry dragon roll. Next thing that came out was the rockys house platter. It was warm, not hot when got it. I didnt realize til the next day while reading the reviews, that the pork was missing from the platter. I wasn't informed about it, only informed about the pork from the springroll but not the platter. Aside from missing the pork, the flavors on the chicken and beef was good. Just wish they brought it out to us when it's still hot. After about 15 minutes we got our pho. The pho was warm, not hot and the broth is a bit too sweet. Not worth the wait. The raw laab was our final dish. The beef was really grounded up, it had the texture of a raw hamburger pattie. The flavor is ok. Waiting for the food 30+ minutes just to be served warm food, it's not worth the wait in my opinion. We'll see about giving them another try next time.
1st time there a month ago. Excellent food! I'll be going back!Just picked up food and two main dishes were missing, they hand delivered it! That's what 5 star is. Thanks!
