| - In a wasteland of bland, mediocre food, I definitely appreciate that the Grass Shack exists. That it sits just two doors down from a place that sells balut -- even better. Completely awesome that in Phoenix, Oregon of all places, there's a little bit of that Pacific Islander flavor.
The decor of the place is total Hawaiian-kitsch -- bamboo wall coverings, palm trees, Don Ho playing on the flat screen -- you get the picture. And the food -- pretty much what you'd expect. Teriyaki chicken, Korean-style shortribs, loco moco, macaroni salad, and so forth.
The only thing that kills me is their pricing. I know this is southern Oregon, and not LA, but dude, $9 for a plate with just two pieces of chicken and two scoops of rice? Pricy! Even NoHo's floats better pricing than that. A meal for two, including drinks, will run you easily north of $20. And for what's essentially an upgraded quick-service restaurant? Ouch.
It is delicious, though. So come on down if the price is right.
