| - We were stalking Shirley B...
Kidding. We read her review of Taiga and thought it'd be worth a try. They are in the same building as a very popular coffee shop, plenty of parking, and voila, a Groupon also appears!
To cut to the chase, we really enjoyed our first meal here, enough to buy a SECOND Groupon to eat there again. However, that second visit, I felt that I tried everything I was interested in trying, so it's not one of those menus where you makes you keep wanting to come back for new items. No, wait, I take that back. They do have a mango/sticky rice dessert available seasonally.
Grilled Whole Squid
Uni w/ Ponzu Sauce
Chicken Teriyaki
Taiga Shrimp
Pork Garlic Bowl
Cod Delight
Twilight Roll
Kohana Roll (no rice)
Crepe Cake w/ Green Tea ice cream
My favorites were the Grilled Whole Squid and the Kohana Roll. I wasn't crazy about the Cod Delight. And the Crepe Cake, surprisingly. The server asked me if I wanted to take the remainder home, which I replied no. She was so surprised, and informed me that I was the first customer to not like the cake. Man! I'll have to go back for that mango/sticky rice dessert.
If you look at the Yelp food pictures, you can tell immediately what lengths they go to for artistic dish presentation. I love it. It's always nice to see pretty food that's also tasty!
The service was very good. They were attentive, efficient, and friendly.
Lunch specials are available 11:30am-3:30pm Mon-Fri.
