Sake Bomb Thai and Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Rockwall

As someone who travels full-time, living life on the road in my RV and exploring different towns and cities throughout the year, I’ve developed something of a ritual: wherever I go, I make it a point to try the local Thai restaurant. Over the past year, I’ve sampled Thai food in dozens of places—small roadside eateries, family-run gems tucked away in quiet neighborhoods, and upscale Thai dining rooms in busier towns. I’ve come to appreciate the subtle differences in regional styles, the balance of flavors, and the unique touches each chef brings to their dishes. But I can confidently say that the Thai food I experienced here stands out above the rest — it was, without question, the best-flavored Thai cuisine I’ve had in the past year.

From the moment I walked in, I had a feeling this would be special. The restaurant itself had a warm, inviting atmosphere—clean, nicely decorated, and with just the right balance between casual comfort and an elegant dining experience. The lighting was soft but not too dim, and the decor felt authentic without being over the top. There was a calm, pleasant energy in the room that immediately made me feel at ease, which, as someone constantly on the move, I really appreciated. It felt like a place I could settle into for a while, savoring not just the meal but the moment.

The staff played a big part in that welcoming feeling. They were genuinely friendly, attentive without hovering, and happy to explain some of the dishes when I had questions. There was a sense of pride in their service that came through in every interaction, and it made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. I noticed they were equally attentive to other guests, whether they were regulars or newcomers, which says a lot about their consistency and care.

But the real star here, of course, was the food. Every dish I ordered burst with bold, yet perfectly balanced flavors. The complexity of the seasoning, the freshness of the ingredients, and the way each dish was presented showed a level of craftsmanship that I rarely encounter, even with my frequent Thai food adventures. The spices were vibrant but not overpowering, the herbs fresh and aromatic, and the sauces rich with depth. It felt like each bite was thoughtfully composed to hit all the right notes: sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and umami—just as Thai cuisine is meant to be, but often falls short elsewhere.

One thing that really impressed me was the texture of the dishes. The vegetables had that ideal crispness, the meats were tender and juicy, and even the rice and noodles were cooked just right—never mushy, never dry. It's a detail that many places overlook, but here, everything was on point. I could tell the kitchen took great care not just in the flavors, but also in the preparation.

As I travel, I often return to favorite spots if I'm passing through the area again, and this restaurant has definitely earned a place at the top of my list. It’s the kind of place that makes you wish you could bring friends and family along to share the experience because it’s that good. Even after leaving, the memory of the flavors stayed with me, which is a true mark of an exceptional meal.

In a year filled with so many Thai meals in so many different settings, this one rose above not just because of the flavor, but because of the whole package—the welcoming staff, the inviting ambiance, and the care that went into every detail. For anyone who loves Thai food and appreciates authenticity combined with great service, this is a place that deserves your attention. I’ll definitely be back the next time my travels bring me this way, and I look forward to discovering even more from their menu. Highly...

My only experience here is with a Door Dash order that the driver stole in the late evening (1st time to happen in several years in several cities and somewhat regular use). That made me think the food must be good.

However, after reading a few more reviews, I suspect this place has hygiene issues.

The comment about sticky floors means they are mopping with dirty mop water, not properly dry mopping after wet mopping, or possibly using too much cleaner and not dry mopping.

However, the 3rd option is least likely based on 30+ years of always being amazed that restaurants and other businesses don't know how to mop... It was the 1st thing I learned at my 1st job. Most people just push around dirty mop water on the floor let it air dry, and call it good. It's totally wasted effort since anything that could've been mopped up was left on the floor when the water evaporated. That's why mop buckets have the part where you squish the water out of the mop, to then pick up the water on the floor with the now dry-er mop.

Add the not knowing how to mop with sewage smell and sprinkle in a bit of hair in the food and I'm suspicious of what's going on where we can't see.

On the upside, I didn't see any reviews saying people got sick. But, that's a low bar.

My Door Dash thief didn't respond to my inquiries about whether they...

Like the name implies, this hole in the wall bombs but not in a good way. Do not expect a nice restaurant. Instead, this place is an absolute dive. It’s nasty in every way. If I could give a no star review, I absolutely would! I would never frequent this place again if it was not for my son liking a couple of their rolls. The owner has no business running a restaurant at all. The so-called servers are clueless, rude, and basically incompetent. The prices are atrocious for what they consider food. Every item is either too salty or lacks taste. And above all they charge for condiments when you order takeout. However, when you dine in, condiments are complementary. And I usually spend $100 plus. The owner is just being greedy and trying to make a penny anywhere they can. It’s the principle of the matter that really bothers me. But, obviously the owner wouldn't be intelligent enough to comprehend that. On top of that, I found the inside unkept and disgusting. Providing great customer service and great food is what brings customers back. Well, this deplorable business should be avoided at all cost. I caution you to think twice about dining...
