Nice to find fresh seafood close to home. A surprise deal in gift cards solved a Christmas gift…read moredilemma late in December. This place reminds me of the fish houses in Reedsport, minus the salt air and seagulls. Servers were patient as we perused the extensive menu, and attentive after we ordered. The bar had more ambience than the main room with rows of white tables. Trying to avoid bibs and a brown meal, I opted to try both the cod and shrimp tacos. Note to self: ask chef to skip finishing salt, as I had more than my usual 'restaurant water weight' the next day. The extra-thick napkins -as every woman knows-are worth keeping in purse or car if you aren't a particularly messy diner. {can I buy some?} I'd read about the marinara (East Coast style) as shellfish sauce; my partner thought it was ok, while I would have preferred the traditional cioppino broth or the white wine scampi broth that my sister raved about. Her mussels really should have included bread instead of just a spoon so as not to waste that broth. In a second visit, appetizers (including the won ton poke tacos) and a beer left no room for dessert. My partner spent his GC on 4 2# Dungeness Crab, which were cleaning thoroughly and steamed to perfection- Great feasting to start the new year. Will definitely check out the patio when warmer weather returns.

A common complaint in Southern Oregon is the lack of great Chinese restaurants, and we're lucky for…read moreDragon Express to put those critics to rest. Now that we've had the opportunity to visit multiple times, I feel we can make a fair assessment of the overall menu, and Dragon Express is the emperor of Chinese food in the area. With a large menu that includes classic American Chinese options in addition to more authentic fare, this restaurant can be a crowd pleaser for a range of preferences. If you want to go with stateside standbys of orange chicken or broccoli beef, you can't go wrong. The dim sum offerings are solid: xiao long bao (soup dumplings), har gao (shrimp dumpling) or siu mai (mixed dumpling) are what you'd expect and will please the table. If you're feeling more adventurous or are banging on the table for 'authentic' options, there is a submenu for such a palate. I am semi-addicted to their La Tzi Chicken, which is like a peppercorn/chili infused and topped chicken plate. Strangely on the menu, it has no 'hot pepper' indicator, but trust me, it's more like 3 peppers. If you are a pepper belly like me, this is a great one, but otherwise, go tamer. Service always seems a bit slammed, but they do a solid job. It's probably because everyone is starting to discover this place. Takeout is a brisk business on top of the dine-in crowd. The ambience is a little meh, but that's what you get with a chinese restaurant built inside an old Bobbio's pizza location. This place is worth the drive for me. And yes, there are robots that assist in the service.

We ordered the eggplant green bean stir fry dish, steamed shrimp dumplings and the fried rice. The…read morefood was pretty good. Not the best shrimp dumplings I've ever had but they weren't bad! The restaurant was relatively busy and maybe they had online orders as well, it seemed our fried rice might've been forgotten and it was brought out sometime after we asked about it. We heard a bunch of tables around us also had forgotten and/or late orders. Might've been an extra busy night for them. I think the fried rice would be yummier if it had that wok hay char aroma. For southern Oregon, it's a 4. If it weren't in a small town, it would be more like a 3ish

We were warmly welcomed upon arrival, and the nice gentleman who served us, as well as the owner who came by to greet us, were very accommodating and kind. Service was simply wonderful, and we couldn't be more appreciative esp given our 2yo twins were quite chatty and a bit disruptive. For the food, the kids' menu was perfect for our kids (and at such a good price!) They ate all their rice and nuggets. I had a lovely Korean ginger tea that really hit the spot on a chilly night. Highly recommend. As for our meal, I enjoyed the dolsot bibimbap, though I did wished their gochujang was spicier (understandably, they were catering to a more local palate). My husband enjoyed his curry rice, which was comforting and reminded him of home cooking. Having grown up in Annandale VA, I do appreciate good, authentic Korean food. While this was not to the spicy palate I was craving, it was still good cooking, and given the amazing service and nice ambiance, I would definitely return next time we pass through Medford.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a cozy little restaurant inside with a lot of cool pictures from the early 1900s. I wish I would have taken pictures of the decor but it was a long day of driving and I didn't think about it. All the food was really good. My husband had a French dip, my daughter got a cheeseburger, and I went with the chicken quesadilla. The avocado didn't work for me but being a California girl, I get it. My daughter's French fries were the absolute best restaurant fries I've had in a loooong time. My husband enjoyed a local beer and I went with my standard white Russian, which was nice and strong. They had a really interesting cocktail menu, but I wasn't feeling adventurous there. As for service, outstanding. Our server was so friendly, attentive, and helpful with all of our questions and requests. We'll definitely keep this place in mind for future road trips now that we will be driving though from time to time! I tried to add more pictures but they don't seem to be uploading ‍

We had the banzai burger, fish and chips, and the coconut shrimp and pork. The pork had amazing flavor and smoke that is unique to Hawaiian pork. We finished it off with a Kona beer.

We were at Omar's for dinner with a group of six friends on Wednesday at 6:30, and several of us wanted to order the crab special, but it was already so popular it had sold out. We all enjoyed the alternate seafood items we ordered (3 orders of breaded and baked snapper and Manila Clams), but the soft shell crab meunière was still on my mind... My husband and I had to try it, so we made an earlier reservation (5:30pm) on Friday night to see if we could snag the crab meunière. The restaurant was already getting fairly busy. Our server was so kind and our put in our dinner order right away. We were able to get the last crab dish. It was phenomenal! Buttery and delicious. We were so glad we came back twice this week. This time for Friday date night. It was a perfect experience. Classic old-school nice restaurant vibe with tasty well-prepared food, red leather booths, and friendly people. We ordered: -Soft shell crab meunière dinner special: 5 stars! (Honestly, I would give it 100 stars!) Go there and get this while they have it! -Fresh steamed Manila clams appetizer: 5 stars (I often order this appetizer as my entree and then get a side salad. They are so fresh and tasty. They're steamed in white wine, garlic, cream, and fresh herbs. Love this so much! Save some bread to dunk in the broth. -Brussels sprouts appetizer: 5 stars (prepared perfectly, crispy on the outside with balsamic vinegar and salt) -Butternut Squash ravioli appetizer: 5 stars (Cooked in brown butter. These are yummy!) -Maple walnut Manhattan: 5 stars (balanced, boozy, and not overly sweet) -Rogue Valley Trium ganache rosé: 5 stars, paired well with the clams and Crab My husband and I love Omar's. We've dined there many times, alone and with friends and family over the years. I appreciated that they have a mix of seafood options. Those are generally what we order since we're pescatarians. Another one of our favorite go-to options is Omar's panko fried Pacific oysters entree. (5 stars)

This place was on my list as I'd seen from Reddit that they serve the best burger in town! I was…read morealso craving fish & chips which they had as well, so stopped by for dinner on a Wednesday night. There was no wait. The parking lot is a bit awkwardly placed so there aren't too many usable spots -- I could see it filling up quickly on a busier night. The main entrance from the parking lot goes into the bar section, but there is also a quieter restaurant section through the double doors by the bar. My husband ordered the burger, and I ordered the fish & chips which came with a choice of soup (I got creamy tomato basil). We also ordered a shrimp cocktail to start. The shrimp cocktail was definitely the weakest dish of the night, as the shrimp was definitely not fresh. But everything else was delicious! The soup was super creamy and smooth (as the name would suggest), and the chives cut through the creaminess quite well. The fish & chips had a feather-light fry that was still amazingly crisp, and I loved the garlic fries! I probably could have salted the fish & chips a little more but that was my own fault, lol. You'll probably want to eat them pretty quick though since the fry is so thin, the part touching the plate can get mushy from the condensation. The burger was also excellent, with a super juicy patty! Definitely enjoyed our meal here and could see myself coming back, though there are so many restaurants to try in Ashland.

The restaurant itself is small and quiet, which I liked, but the tile floors are surprisingly slick definitely something to be cautious about, especially for older guests. Prices are on the higher side, though that seems to be the norm for most tapas places. Overall, it's a charming spot with tasty dishes and a cozy vibe just a few details away from being a perfect experience.
