Our first impression was wonderful. Open and comfortable atmosphere with ample seatings. Food came out fast , in shareable portions, and delicious. Cocktail was beautifully presented, and tasty. Prices are on the mid to high range for Thai food, but acceptable given the quality of the dishes. Service was great, friendly and attentive. Located in a shopping center with lots of parkings and walking distance to shops and banks. Foodies of @WineDinenVacay highly recommend this restaurant. read more

When someone asked me, what's my favorite food I say anything on a plate... Until now I think this restaurant is horrible. I had three different dishes, one worse than the next. I will say their sticky mango. Dessert was their saving grace. The service was as it should have been nothing spectacular, but the food was not for me. I had fish cakes... I will never have those again I had something similar to Shumai... Won't have that again And I had papaya salad... Big fat no read more

Stumbled on this place while shopping and was pleasantly surprised. I was going in to place a to-go order. Upon walking in, there were a few patrons dining in. It wasn't overly packed and the first thing I noticed was the cleanliness. I was able to place my order at the bar and waited for no more than 10 mins. I ordered basil fried rice with beef and spring rolls. The waitress did tell me the rice was a little spicy, so I went with the least spicy option. The dish was hella spicy. So, if you like spicy, I think that ordering the least spicy option will suffice. Ir honestly was basic Thai food. It was good, but it wasn't the best I've had. Overall, it's a solid 4 out of 5 starts. read more

Food was good. Loved the hot and sour soup. The Kung Pao was good; a little light in the chicken. Same for the panang curry. Service was good and the ambiance was very nice and clean. read more

We had a great evening at Thai Rock. Walked in on a Friday evening. Thai tea was great. Mussels were fantastic. Po Tak soup was also . Pad Ped THAIROCK (spicy seafood sautee) was also great, but frankly, a little weak for a 3-pepper dish. Overall a great spot. read more

An update on what has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants that I keep on constant rotation for my feeding schedule. ThaiRock always satisfies! Last night was no exception. The Drunken Noodles were especially delicious. The variety of veggies were cooked to crispy perfection, the chicken was moist, the noodles were luxurious and the sauce was bowl-licking good. We also ordered the stuffed chicken wings as an appetizer (you can tell that we are not worried about cholesterol). This appetizer did not suit me well although my spouse liked it. The breading was beautifully executed and very crunchy but, for me, the stuffing was a tad monotonous, without much flavor. The service was - as always - the strong point for this fantastic restaurant. Each server was attentive, polite, friendly and delightful. ThaiRock is the real deal and each time I go, I fall in love all over again!!! read more

My mouth is on fire. The food is delicious. But the heat! We said that we like 'spicy' and they delivered! The tom yum soup with shrimp was complex and flavorful and the mushrooms were so FRESH! The chicken ka pow was also well seasoned and delicious. My partner tried the chicken satay and he said that he would get them again (good sign). The restaurant's vibe is chill and low key. You can have a conversation and the music is low enough to exist without being disruptive. The service is a little slow but we can close to closing time so that might have something to do with it. Overall great food. Well worth a visit. read more

I live around the area and had driven past here so many times. I finally tired it!! The restaurant is located at the Montrose Crossing shopping center next to Marshall's. Parking is ample, area is well lit and friendly. This was my first time and I couldn't stay, so I ordered take out. The restaurant itself is very cute! Well lit and nicely decorated. I walked in and went straight to the counter. The person behind the counter was very friendly. Greeted me with a smile and asked if I came to pick up an order. I took my order and went home to try! Food was yummy!!! I ordered the green curry and the duck roti. Everything was well packaged, and perfect temperature. Food was delicious! It had great flavor, perfect spice and an adequate amount (I even had left overs). Overall very happy and would like to go back to dine in! read more

This place has such cute decor and a beautiful ambiance! It's modern and really cool vibe in there. The service is also really great. They were super quick, attentive, and patient. The food on the other hand is quite disappointing. The food didn't taste authentic to me or at least the changes in the recipes are from regions I don't recognize. Some of the food had an aftertaste that was displeasing to me and my friend. We got the Thai Iced Tea and Mai Thai to drink. Really enjoyed the Thai Tea and it s quite caffeinated (which I love) but have had better Mai Thai's. For starters we tried the Crispy Taro Spring Roll, which was good especially with the sauce it comes with. There was a twist from the taro as that added texture difference and not really a flavor difference. We were absolutely not a fan of the Duck Roti as it had an aftertaste. For mains, I got the Tom Yum with Shrimp, which was good but not one I'd return for and the Larb Gai (a fave of mine) which was honestly very disappointing. My friend got the Rice Topped Steamed Chicken (not pictured) and the sauces were good. The rice and chicken are plain and the sauce is what makes it. It came with one gingery sauce which I loved and one hoisin/sweet/tangy sauce which my friend just liked. Overall a decent experience, we enjoyed our time and we didn't leave hungry but would not recommend to friends who prefer traditional tasting Thai food. read more

Not enough good things can be said about this place! It's convenient with lots of parking right out front and behind, it's beautiful, open, and airy with really nice, earthy light fixtures that gives a natural, grounded feeling, the seating is comfortable, the place is spacious, the staff are all very nice, friendly, and welcoming -- and perhaps most important of all, accommodating of different needs. The food is, of course, delicious, nutritious, perfectly cooked, flavourful, healthy, and great for the entire sensory system. All of your senses will be pleased here! If you want to add a bit of spice, there is a tray of spice mixtures you can ask for that will be brought to the table, too .... Visiting around the Thai new year is especially cool because the staff all wear colourful tops for the occasion! I particularly enjoy the Pad Woonsen that I request and receive vegetarian with no problem. I've been to many a Thai restaurant that would not accommodate this simple request -- or would do so only begrudgingly or sometimes and after a struggle -- so I really appreciate that here, it's no problem and no hassle. The Tofu and Vegetables Soup is delicious, the Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee come in a really cool broad metal cup -- very impressive! It really makes an impression when it comes out and is brought to the table. Sitting there, it looks like the Queen of the table to me! So shiny and inviting, wow! The cup isn't just some regular old, plain boring smooth shiny metal cup -- oh, no! It's hammered into a splendid work of art! The Mango with Sticky Rice has purple rice coloured with butterfly pea flower tea and it's beautiful! There is many a feast for the eye to be had here! I have been coming here since they opened and don't remember every dish I've gotten -- but don't remember ever being disappointed in anything, but rather amazed! I obviously enjoy the looks of things and that's important to me, so the fact that so much care is put into that here really makes a difference in my view. There is clearly care taken with how each piece of tofu is put on my plate so it comes out looking great! I find that makes it much more appetizing. It appeals to me, draws me in, and makes me want to eat it from the moment I first see each dish come into my visual awareness. I find the portions to be generous and think maybe sometime I could even just have the Tofu and Vegetable Soup as a meal if I wasn't too hungry. I enjoy the soft tofu in the soup and the firmer fried tofu in the Pad Woonsen. Besides, glass noodles are just fun! They're cool to look at, they're stretchy, and they taste great plus they're very healthy being made from mung beans and all. I just really like a good mung bean noodle! I'm always disappointed when I can't have it. For me, it makes a big difference that here, I can! The Fried Tofu starter is okay, but not my fave. (Can you tell I like tofu, though? Ha ha! Yes! I am a major tofu-lover, and that place well satisfies that craving!) I should also mention, the rice is perfect! There are big windows that let in a lot of light, so you can see very well while you dine, and cool little touches here and there such as little black rocks stacked up to make a nice little entryway to the slightly elevated seating area farthest from the entrance ... which, by the way, is a very welcoming place! You are greeted nicely here with a warm smile, and feel good from the moment of arrival! Thank goodness! What a relief! It's so nice to be able to just enter, be seated, and rest and relax while perusing the many choices and waiting not-too-long until the meal arrives ... and delights the tongue and tummy! All-around total Yay! :-D read more

Went to ThaiRock on Mother's Day today with my family and really enjoyed it! The inside is beautiful and the environment was super chill and comfortable. I will say though our server was kind but kept telling us certain changes cannot happen with the food and then someone else would tell us it can happen which was very confusing through the night. For appetizers, we got the veggie spring rolls which were crispy and delicious, and the crispy chive dumplings were SO good. I had never tried them before and ended up loving them. I highly recommend getting the spring rolls and crispy chive dumplings!!! For mains, we ordered veggie drunken noodles, veggie pad see ew, spicy basil fried rice, and ka pow tofu. The ka pow tofu was definitely my favorite, super flavorful and came with white rice. For drinks, the spicy mango margarita (non alcoholic) was amazing and had a dried mango slice on top which was such a cool touch. The Phuket Sunset drink (non alcoholic) was also really pretty and looked like an actual sunset. For dessert, I got the mango sticky rice which was tasty too, but the portion size was smaller than I expected. Overall really good food and great vibes, would definitely come back!!! read more

Lovely place, it was spacious and beautifully decorated. Thai restaurants have been upping their game on the aesthetic department. Food was big in servings, they have good amount on the plates. It is pricier than your average thai eatery but of course it comes with it when its actual ambience is a bit upscale. We went here on a sunday afternoon, I had the crispy pork belly with white rice. It was delicious and all my friends and cousins had great food as well. See photos! The service was great. They are always asking us if everything was good. It was in the middle of the afternoon that's why it was a bit empty but i liked that. We were able to mingle and have fun together. Overall a great place to eat and unwind a bit read more

Hands down the best Thai restaurant in the area! I go there regularly and get the boat noodle soup. I've been to multiple Thai restaurants in in Rockville/Bethesda/Potomac but this one tastes very authentic. Some of my other favorites here include: Ka nom jeeb and the crying tiger salad. Service is very fast and orders always come out correctly. They make sure you are comfortable with the spice level prior to ordering. I usually get 1-2 pepper levespice as my tolerance for spicy food is low. Shalom is a great bartender and the manager, Chu, is very friendly and always greets me with a smile. The ambiance is classy and the restaurant is very clean.. I mostly go there by myself. My parents love this place too and they were never big Thai food fans until they ate here. Highly recommended! read more

Came here last weekend. Wanted to try this place based on the great reviews and since the place resembles a cave from the outside. It was also really nice inside. Ordered the Drunken Noodles, which was good but I've had much better at other local restaurants. My daughter ordered the Satay Chicken skewers, which didn't come out with my dish. Needless to say, she did not like the seasoning at all. I told the waitress, and she didn't even attempt to care, nor offer a slight discount, since I had to order her the Fried Ribs (which were cut into small pieces with the bones). She didn't love this either but ate some of it with white rice. I personally thought the ribs were good. No kid friendly options available. The waitress was neither friendly, nor unfriendly. And it took a while for us to get the later order in, even after we told her we would be ordering something else. Anyway, not sure if I'll be back. read more

2.21.25 This restaurant replaced the former Tara Thai in Montrose Crossing. The food is delicious and likely the best that I've had in recent months. I highly recommend the duck roti, Moo Ping (pork skewers), and taro custard. During the holidays, I had the duck roti at another Thai restaurant, which I found to be disappointing. Today, I was impressed because the duck roti tasted fresh and wasn't dry like at the other restaurant. The sticky rice for the Moo Ping and taro custard were tender and chewy. The pork skewers were succulent. The service was friendly, and the food came out fast. This may just be one of my new favorite Thai restaurants in Montgomery County. I can't wait to return to try other menu items. I highly recommend it. read more

The old Tara Thai restaurant at Montrose Crossing revamped to a new Thai place! Been waiting to try this place and decided to go with a group of my gym buddies, 9 of us. The decor was bright and inviting and it was decently crowded on a Friday night, but oddly the early crowd was very quiet. We stayed about 4 hours until close drinking and chatting and they didn't bother us. It got a little more lively later in the night, but they definitely needed to turn up the music to set the vibe, especially on a Friday night if they want the bar to fill. Their drinks were pretty and good as well. 4 star for ambiance. Service was great the first half, everything came out fast and piping hot. But then a couple in our group came late and one order wasn't put in and another took a while to come. 3.5 star for service. Food was good, pretty standard, but we didn't really order from their "ThaiRock Street Food (Signature)" menu either. I took a bite of everyone's food and their fried rice had a good "wok" taste. I love when they put the pineapple fried rice in the shell, then you know they're fresh pineapples! Crab fried rice and Pad Thai was surprisingly spicy or maybe that's just how my friends ordered them! Chicken satay had a nice sweetness to the flavor, and the curry puff and spring rolls were fried nicely. Mango sticky rice was chopped up a bit thick and it was purple rice, but the portion was a bit small. Overall 4 star for food. read more

Came in here with a family member the other day to see how it is. You could say I'm a bit conflicted on this one. Place--clean, bright, well ordered. I was here before it became Thai Rock, looks like it should: different. Plenty of references to street food, Bangkok locations, and such. Didn't feel like we were being crowded. Food--obviously when we walked in we were just thinking about getting the usual (traditional) Thai food dishes. Thai Rock is more about the street food scene, etc. That being said there are some of the usual dishes for normies and old fogies. It's not all foo-foo. Staff--no problem there. Pleasant, polite. Location--great! Plenty of garage parking to the right, in the same area as Starbucks, Burlington, Giant, and Target. Also within walking distance of Twinbrook metro (about 4 streets down). Overall impression: it's a good place, not necessarily a great place depending on your expectation. I think the 'starter' dishes were a bit overpriced (instead of $6-$10 it was $9-$12), so we avoided that. They do the water bit smartly, by bringing two glasses and a liter of ice water. No need to ask for more there. The dishes we did order (pad see yew and ginger chicken) were on par with other places we've been to. The food wasn't oiled-up or 'Americanized' like some. It was good, I'd go there again. But I wouldn't be ordering extra dishes. read more

I had a favorite Thai place in Rockville but this new spot is definitely better. My boyfriend and I started with the traditional Thai dishes that we love and that should have been all that we needed to taste. We also ordered the Tom yum soup and the broth was very comforting, and the House Salad was beyond just your standard house salad. Then we went back and decided to be a little more adventurous and ordered off the street food menu and we were blown away! Highly recommend for traditional Thai and the stuff that gets you out of your comfort zone! read more

I've been on a Tom Yum soup adventure the past two weeks. I've tried Tom Yum at a number of different establishments in the Bethesda/Rockville area. I ordered Tom Yum with vegetables. The price was nine dollars. Somewhat higher than others I've tried The broth was excellent. The right amount of heat, strong, lime flavor. Great consistency and color. I'm used to seeing an abundance of mushrooms and cilantro which I did not find in this dish. I counted three very small mushrooms and really could not find cilantro in the dish. I tried vegetables rather than chicken on this offering and it was disappointing. 70% of the vegetables were cabbage. Two small slices of carrot and two very small miniature corns? two or three snow peas. I really wish the variety had been a little more balanced. Also no cherry tomatoes. I would give the broth a 5 and the veggie component 2.5 to 3. read more

A really lovely restaurant. I shared ThaiRock Pad Thai and Panang Curry with Chicken with a friend. The Pad Thai was tasty, although I felt the noodles were a little "pasty" and was surprised there were only 2 shrimp and very little chicken. But the Panang Curry made everything better! It was just delicious! And putting the curry broth over the Pad Thai noodles took all of the pastiness away! I'd be much happier with a side if plain noodles rather than rice with the curry, it felt like a better "vessel" for the broth. I'll be back! read more

We went on a random Tuesday night and the restaurant was completely empty besides one other family that was there. So I thought we would get fast service. In reality, it was the opposite. We waited at least 10 minutes to get our waters and then another 15 after that until our waitress came back around to get our order. I thought, "okay it may just be one of those places that has slow service but the food is bomb." My wife and I got the pad Thai to share. Once that finally came out and I had the first taste; gotta say it was alright. Not worth the wait. The only redeeming quality was the decor, that was fancy and modern! read more

I was excited to see another Thai restaurant open nearby since I love Thai food and always enjoy trying new spots. Unfortunately, this one was a miss. On the positive side, the staff were extremely kind and patient, and I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options -- a big plus for me. The restaurant itself has a nice look and feel, and the menu was promising. However, the food fell short. I ordered the white garlic and pepper dish -- something I've tried at just about every Thai place I frequent -- and this version was disappointing. It almost felt like the chef had never made it before. I chose beef and shrimp, and both were overcooked. The beef, in particular, was very poor quality. I had to spit out several pieces due to bad cuts. While the flavor wasn't terrible, it lacked the depth I'm used to, and I found myself reaching for spices from the table just to get through the meal. The tom kha soup was okay -- decent, but I've had better. One highlight: the Thai iced tea was served in a fun, oversized mug/bowl combo, which was a nice touch. In the end, with so many outstanding Thai options within a mile of me, I don't see myself coming back. It's a competitive scene, and this place just didn't deliver where it counts -- the food. read more

We visited Thai Rock on a Friday afternoon and were seated quickly without a reservation, which was great. The staff was friendly and service was smooth throughout the meal. We started with the duck roti and ka noom jeeb--definitely recommend the duck roti, which was flavorful and well-executed. For our entrees, we tried the crispy pork belly and the shrimp paste fried rice. Portions were generous and the food came out quickly, but the flavors were a bit more subtle than we expected. Overall, a decent experience. We might come back to explore more of the menu--there's potential here, especially based on how good that duck roti was. read more

They are having their Grand Opening tomorrow, March 5th- Service was a 5/5 - everything you want in a restaurant ( friendly, attentive, available) Food was a 4/5 - the cashew chicken was probably one of the best I had- a unique twist where it has the right amount of kick and tons of flavor while the fried rice (with pork as protein) was one of the worst I've had... it was greasy and flavorless and the pork was beat up and fatty. We tried the garlic beef stir- fry which has garlic, beef and broccoli... again, pieces beef was fatty (a food turnoff for me...) We had the dumplings which were delicious (a little larger than I have had in other Thai places). The Thai tea was pretty average with a unique presentation - an ornamental metal bowl which keeps the drink pretty darn cold. Mango rice was a delicious finish- it was still warm when served. The interior is stunning with a beautiful mural as a focal point. read more

New Thai restaurant on the block, and everyone wants to know if it's the best Thai in MOCO. Previously, Tara thai, the location got revamped with nice interior and stunning bathrooms. High ceilings make the dining experience and food a more elevated Thai venture. We got the duck roti appetizer, crying tiger, steamed chicken, pad see ew, and stick rice dessert. As a final verdict, this is one of the best Thai restaurants in MOCO that rivals thai cottage bistro in shady grove with various renditions of thai street foods. For the pad see ew, I'd stick to Kimm Imm Thai, since Thai rock is bit too sweet and overcooked for my liking. However, the rice dishes crying tiger, and steamed chicken were one of the freshest meats with aromatic and fragrant rice dishes. Lastly, the mango sticky rice was super ripe and the sticky rice was super fresh. read more

Tonight we ate at the latest new Thai restaurant in Rockville, Thai Rock. It took the former Tara Thai space. There's no lack of decent Thai establishments to choose from in MoCo. I would recommend this as one of the good ones in terms of taste, quality and value. Spacious, attentive service, good spacing of tables, authentic tasting Thai dishes, plenty of parking. No loud music so you can enjoy dinner conversations. The standouts for us are the Tom Zap spare ribs soup, House pad Thai, chives dumplings, Thai style steamed chicken and the Taro custard with sticky rice. read more
