    seared peppered tuna
    Jeremy G.

    I know what you're thinking because I was thinkin the same thing: Asian and Tapas don't go together. As a matter of fact, that almost stopped me from going. Fortunately, Yelp reviews convinced me to give it a shot. I went for a late dinner and wasn't sure I had the right place, as the sign was hard to see and it looked more like a dive bar than a good Asian place. I sat at the bar and had a friendly and helpful bartender. I asked him what his favorites were, and went with his suggestion by ordering the seared peppered tuna and chicken wings. I opted for a heat level of 3/5. The seared peppered tuna was excellent. It was served on a bed of mixed greens with a balsamic-style sauce. The greens are one of those confusing parts of a dish where I ask myself "is this a garnish? Do I eat this?". The sauce was so good, I didn't care what it was and devoured the whole plate. The wings were also good: a slightly dry chicken was more than madeup for by the sauce which had the right amount of heat with a hintness of sweet behind it. I'm still pretty sure that Asian Tapas isn't a thing, but after eating here, I'm also pretty sure I don't care. Great spot.

    I cannot speak highly enough about this place in every aspect. The food is a 10 out of 10 the service is a 10 out of 10 the atmosphere is a 10 out of 10. The amazing bartender/waiter was beyond welcoming and his service was on point. The regulars who sat around me, were very welcoming and explained to me about all the fantastic food there, which made picking dishes on the menu easy. At this point, I've tried quite a few things and not one of them could I find a flaw.

    Avocado bomb with spicy tuna is the bomb!

    We stopped in this small town for dinner during our road trip. Ambience - 3/5. It's more of a bar which offers unexpectedly good mix of Asian food. Service - 5/5. Not only they were friendly but also extremely kind. After the end of our meal, we asked if they could make a special chicken stir fry with no seasoning for our puppy and they made it for us without any hesitation. Our puppy who refused to eat her kibble all day finally stuffed herself. We can't thank you enough!! Food - 3/5. Expect your local teriyaki house level food. My mi goreng didn't taste anything like mi goreng I'm used to, but it was a good Japanese yakisoba. It reminded me of an old Japanese restaurant in used to go with my late grandma. Their chicken stir fry was pretty good too. If you require a lot of protein though, we'd recommend you to double the meat. Avocado bomb reminded me of my college year. It's a yummy spicy tuna stuffed avocado tempura. If this restaurant was in a bigger town or city, I'd probably rate it 2.5/3, but it's a 4 star filled with nice staff in this small town. Overall, we'd come back here if we ever pass this little town again. :)

    How'd I end up here... A big part of my work requires a lot of travel and on this particular night, we were on our way up from Eureka California to Eugene Oregon. Its dinner time and we were not gonna settle for another fast food drive through, hell nah. So we took to Yelping. First thing you'll notice when you get into Grants Pass is that for dinner, you better look to eat before 8pm because your options start getting thin after that. Good news is Taroko is there and they're open till Midnight! What did we eat? - Crab Cheese Puffs 4/5 stars - gyozas 4/5 stars - Beef Stir Fry 5/5 stars - Opur Curry 5/5 stars This place, the Chef, the service, all go above and beyond. Portions are exactly what you want and expect for the price. Flavors and execution of the dishes we ordered were perfect. Crab puffs, man these were slammin. I can only think of crab cheese rangoons that I had in Seattle's Pike Place Market that are comparable. Beef was nice and tender not chewy and the broccoli which accompanied were fresh and cooked perfectly. The curry I will not even attempt to describe. It's unfortunate that I will only be able to enjoy this curry when I'm in Grants Pass because when I crave curry, I will always think of the Opur Curry I had here. Taroko and the staff, thank you and I'll def be dining whenever I'm in town

    Cool bar with quite a few veggie options. I really enjoyed my curry. Take out was simple and they are open fairly late.

    Love this place! Came upon it as I was walking through downtown Ashland and it had a nice looking…read moreinterior with high ceilings. A happy hour menu was posted in the window-from 4-5pm every day of the week. We got in during happy hour and were able to score one of the few outdoor creekside tables. It was super pleasant to be able to sit outside and hear the creek while eating delicious food. Ordered the house made blackberry soda-pretty good. Also had the happy hour fried chicken and hh burger, as well as the scallops off of the main menu. The burger was thick and juicy. My kids and husband said the fries were some of the best they've had-crispy exterior and soft interior. Fried chicken had a light crispy coating on the outside and the honey Aleppo mixture was great, though son said it could've used a little more salt. My scallops were some of the best scallops I've ever had before--so well cooked and perfectly seasoned and with these thinly sliced snap peas that were just barely blanched that added texture and freshness to the dish. For dessert I had the olive oil cake with fresh berries--so delicious and perfect way to top off the meal. Service was pretty good. Would def be back!

    This restaurant has a cute atmosphere. The bar has a simple yet artistic vibe, and the drinks we…read moretried were creative, interesting, and beautifully presented. The food was exquisite. The fried chicken was delicious--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The melon dish was excellent and one of my favorites. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else. The service was friendly, attentive, and patient. Overall, it's a great place to dine in Ashland.
