  • I'm a woman of very few words when partaking of delicious foods. I think most of the conversation at Taiga consisted of me saying, "This is frickin' delicious!" Honestly, I was dragging my feet on coming to Taiga but alas my expiring Groupon motivated me. The interior was surprising, given that this place is located next to a tattoo parlor. The interior looks like a page from my Restoration Hardware catalog. The tables have an urban vintage appeal with farm style tables and large studded accent chairs and benches. Onto the most important part, we tried the grilled jumbo squid, cognac duck, and chicken katsu spicy drunken ramen. The grilled squid lives up to the name, it comes sliced in the shape of a jumbo squid. The portion was larger than I expected and was comparable to a squid steak. The sweet citrus dipping sauce paired well with the squid. I decided to also try dipping the squid in the house made soy sauce. I honestly could not stop myself from reaching for the soy sauce jug! The house soy sauce is more sweet than salty, similar to the sauce drizzled on Chinese cheong fun. The squid is cooked perfectly and has a slight smoky flavor from the grill. Seriously, it was frickin' delicious! The second dish was the cognac duck with lemongrass, fried onion, fried basil, Thai chilies in a sweet tamarind sauce. The duck was extremely tender, very similar to Chinese duck with plum sauce. Although not the most amazing duck I've had, it was definitely a tasty flavor combination. The last dish we tried was the most lack luster. The drunken ramen probably would have faired better if there was some crunch to the noodles. The stir fried ramen seemed very mushy and had a strange tinge of bitterness. The katsu was katsu, nothing special. The prices are more expensive than some of the other Thai places in town but the specialty dishes are worth the cost. The menu also has sushi rolls, but nothing that you wouldn't find at other Japanese establishments. They also have an extensive lunch menu with options mostly under $10 on weekdays from 11:30-3:30. Currently, they have a few promotions. $5 off $10+ delivery order and a 10% off coupon if you pay cash. Also if you check in on Yelp you get a free Thai ice tea. Even if it is just for one item, I will definitely be back for the jumbo grilled squid!
