Top Asian Fusion Restaurant in Rocklin
Urban Rolls
5428 Crossings Dr Suite 101, Rocklin, CA 95677, United States
The menu was confusing as they had several items that were not available but were written just like the other stuff that was. The teas that were available were either watery (house tea) or so perfumey (Jasmine tea) that it was impossible to drink. The regular Thai tea was okay though. I drink Jasmine tea very frequently and this was just too much. The Bahn Mis were ok. The bread was ok. The crispy pork was tasty but very soft, I only got two crispy pieces in one half of the sandwich. There was 1 jalapeño on each half. The sauce was sweet and so were the pickled vegetables. The whole sandwich lacked salt and balance. My husband and I ordered the same style Bahn mi and had the same experience. My son got something else he didnt eat much of, but said it was good (hes 3 so he doesnt always eat food like this). Tje price was insane as we spent almost 50 for two sandwiches, two teas, 1 sprite and 1 order of steamed buns. The place i normally buy from is half the price and 5x as good. Overall it was just okay. Ill stick with driving down to sac for my Bahn mis and will get my Boba teas somewhere else. I may come back to try their rolls though. ?Edit: customer service from the women there is top notch. They made me a second tea free of charge and said I could keep the first one, which didnt get drank, but was still really nice!
GK Mongolian BBQ
6661 Stanford Ranch Rd Suite Q, Rocklin, CA 95677, United States
This is a new Mongolian BBQ that took over from what used to be Mongo GO-GO BBQ The owners retired to spend more time with family and perhaps do other things. Anyway, see.s timing is the key. Trying GK fornthe first time around 6pm, there was only 1 person at a table. We had 5 of us and then more families started coming in to have some GK.The hostest/server asked us for any drinks to get for us. Then after we sat down, we were given the options of included sides (plate of Cheese Rangoon, Crispy Wong Tongs and Fried Pot Stickers. Also included is a cup of Steamed Rice and cup of Soup. The selections for the veggies were minimal compared to the previous establishment. The sauce and the meat selection available are the usual. All in all, being serviced as we were, is excellent and the food was pretty good.With all that said, I will give a solid 5 stars rating for GK Mongolian BBQ that not only the service was spot on, the food delicious and for the fact that they are happy to honor veterans everyday.with a discount. Thank you so much GK. This is great.
Yummy Pok
6696 Lonetree Blvd #300, Rocklin, CA 95765, United States
I love Poke places... but you just wont see me in a cacti garden getting up close & personal..*tee hee hee*I had seen Yummy Poke opening up for so long and always wanted to try it.. finally, after being open since January, my daughter wanted Subway, and I wanted me some Poke!! Walking in, it was super spacious, dainty tables & chairs all around except for your path to order your bowl.The menu is simple:1. Pick your base-Rice(white or brown) Mixed greens(salad)2. Pick your protein.Salmon, Tuna, Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon Albacore, Octopus.3. Choose your Sauce-Ponzu, Sweet Unagi, Sesame Shoyu, Sriracha Aioli, Wasabi Cream.4. Choose your Toppings-White Onion, Cucumber, Corn, Jalapeno, Edamame, Ginger and Carrot.5. Choose your Spice- Furikake, Crispy Onion, Dry Seaweed, Roasted Sesame Seed.The young man behind the counter let me sample the spicy tuna and spicy salmon... I did not like how mushy it was compared to the regular cubed fish. I also suggest sampling the sauces before you pick your protein if your not sure which one to go with.For my creation, I had hot cooked white rice, with salmon & tuna tossed in the Sesame Shoyu sauce, with imitation crab, onion, cucumber, edamame, and ginger topped with onion, Tobiko, and Furikake..My take?First, the bamboo chopsticks had an odd smell to them, every bite I took, I smelled the chopsticks, so I switched to a tiny plastic fork. After that, it was delicious! I do wish the Sesame Shoyu sauce was a touch thicker. I felt like it ran right off the fish and was not very apparent(I went up & got more sauce.) The cubed salmon & tuna tasted very fresh and for a regular size bowl, it comes with 3 generous scoops of your choice of protein (and thats what we like to see!!!!)Only bad thing to say is the gnat problem.. they definitely made their presence known.As you can see my Yummy Poke bowl was gorgeous! I was impressed that for $10.75, the portion sizes were more than expected. Still working on my favorite flavors, but the perfect creation takes patience & time...

Biryani & Chaat
4800 Granite Dr B-11, Rocklin, CA 95677, United States
As someone who moved from England—where Indian food is arguably the best outside of India—I had been struggling to find good Indian cuisine locally. That all changed when Biriyani and Chaat opened its doors.I recently visited with my family and my non-Indian in-laws, and even they were impressed. We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken Tikka, Paneer Saag, Naan, Rice, and a Paneer Biryani. Each dish was exceptional: the curries were rich and creamy, and the rice was buttery and melted in your mouth. The complimentary chai was a delightful touch, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, especially with my toddler.What makes this restaurant truly special is its unique blend of South Asian flavors. Curious about their diverse menu, I spoke with the owners and discovered that the husband is from Tamil Nadu and the wife is from Punjab. This fusion of backgrounds is clearly reflected in the delicious and varied flavors of their food.Biriyani and Chaat is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic and delicious South Asian food!
Chullas Cafe
6220 Stanford Ranch Rd Ste 200, Rocklin, CA 95765, United States
This is our new favorite restaurant! The food is amazing, the place is clean and the staff is super friendly. The owner, Tamba, greeted us with a hearty welcome and cheerful smile. The whole staff seemed to genuinely care about our experience and really put in a lot of effort.We had the Garlic Parmesan Wings, AfroRibs, and the Tanjier Stew with a Whole Fried Red Snapper. Fresh Hibiscus Tea to drink. The three plates easily will make six to eight meals. The portions are very generous. Seriously, I hope youre hungry.The wings were huge and crispy. The garlic concoction on them is fermented which imparts a unique flavor Ive not had before. I usually pass over chicken wings but my wife likes them, so we ordered them. I couldnt stop myself. Theyre so delicious.The ribs made me feel like Korean royalty. Gochujang and sesame combined with a West African spice palette. Tender juicy meat on the bone and once again, very generous portions.Finally, Tangier Stew with a Whole Fried Snapper. They mean whole... as in eyeballs, bones, tail, head, all of it. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, just perfect. The Tanjier Stew is a peanut based soup that is similar to Thai Satay, but its thinner and savory rather than sweet. Its paired with garlic jasmine rice. My wife is not much of a rice fan, yet couldnt put down the spoon.The hibiscus tea is sweet but also spiced. It is non alcoholic and served cold, but somewhat reminded me of mulled red wine or German Gluhwein.I highly recommend this place. I added a photo which was taken after we had already started eating so keep in mind the portionsare bigger than the photo. My wife held out her hand for scale.Well definitely be back!
The Curry Leaves
6502 Lonetree Blvd, Rocklin, CA 95765, United States
I know my review is not going to make any difference to them but thought I will still share as it might help people like us who have kids with 3-4 yrs of age.Quick background- i have been coming to this restaurant off and on since last 3-4 yrs and noticed big difference in few things. They used to be very friendly and service oriented and accommodating. In buffet they used to have Dosa and Roti but not anymore. Even though the price of buffet has gone up almost 50% (I am aware of inflation issues too and not complaining about it) but they removed Dosa and Roti from buffet. They charge separately for Roti now and its not included in Buffet.And we visited this place today for a buffet with some friends and we were 4 adults with 3 kids. I noticed and realized this later that both our kids who are under 4 yrs were charged for buffet. Well I dont know how much a kid under that age will eat, especially that toddlers age. Well paying for buffet of kids under 4 yrs of age was not something that I expected ( at this point I want to say high Inflation is for everyone)So if you dont mind paying additional buffet charges for your kids which are toddlers age then you are fine. But as far as I am concerned I am surely not returning for Buffet to them in future.Restaurant at this point should be aware that kids buffet less than 5-6 yrs age is free in most US restaurants including all the other Indian restaurants.Thats all, thanks if you read this far!
