Thai Rock

My review of Thai Rock's DELICIOUS food is WAAAAY overdue!  

Mister and I have enjoyed a few lunches and dinners here; for our last two dinners we ate every scrap of Steamed Pork Dumplings, Chicken Satay and a Rice dish, whose name escapes me, then ended our meals with their Thai Custard served with ice cream for dessert  AMAZING.

Our Mai Tais and Mojitos were oh, SO good and oh, SO strong!  Thai Rock's portions are generous but it's not a heavy meal which happily, leaves room for their incredible dessert.  They've just the right amount of spiciness too.

We'll drive over from Forest Hills, just to eat dinner here, though we do enjoy lunch after Jet skiing with Rockaway Jet Ski.  We're looking forward to their kitchen coming back later this year- Thai Rock was almost demolished by Hurricane Sandy in October.  The renovation work they've done thus far has improved what we remember from 2012 and we're SO excited for their extended menu, once the kitchen is up and running!

This place is a nice, after-beach destination. I got the something-Tiger ('Crawling Tiger', 'Crying Tiger' ,'Crooked Tiger'?) after it was recommended by multiple people. It was delicious. I met the owner of this place and she is a doll. My only negative is that I paid over $20 for my meal and it was served to me on a paper plate!

My husband and I went out on a limb and decided to join some friends for a 15-mile skate from Sheepshead Bay to Thai Rock one hot Saturday morning. The restaurant, like many homes and establishments in the area, was rocked by Hurricane Sandy, but the renovations are creeping along. In the meantime, the outdoor patio/bar/kayak and jet ski launch are all still accessible! Beautiful views of Jamaica Bay abound.

Food's decent here: I had a Thai Rock burger, which was well-spiced but came unaccompanied by any toppings on the bun. The Thai iced tea was also refreshing. We weren't too thrilled to see that the establishment accidentally charged us and a few of our friends $3 more for the $12 burger, but an eagle-eyed dining companion caught it and rectified the issue. All in all, you're paying for the view and the fact that out here you can pretend you're far away from the City!
