Rocky's Asian Bistro And Bbq - Blaine

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!

Did an internet search for lunch with a picky eater. Discovered Rocky's in a location formerly occupied by a local BBQ. The menu looked interesting. It was a wonderful surprise. The kitchen is a very well equipped smokehouse and grill. There were rice based dishes, noodle dishes, apps, sushi as well as a good variety of smoked meat items, many incorporating a Hmong style which is hard to find in our local restaurants. Wait staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered some delicious fruit teas and apps- crab rangoon and a spicy salmon roll. For entrees, we had a Lao Beef Short Rib with rice and a Tofu pad thai. The entrees were delicious, and were accompanied by a wide range of seasonings tending toward spicy. Overall it was an excellent meal at a reasonable price with great service. Will definitely come again. Note that it is in a rather unusual location just east of a Speedway gas station, between a dry cleaners and a liquor store. Plenty of parking.

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.
