Taroko Asian Bar & Grill in Redding

I wanted to try this upscaleAsian Fusion restaurant thatwas near my hotel.It was busy and I had to waitfor a table on a Thursdayevening.I reviewed the menu andordered the Wonton NoodleSoup.The menu has a number ofoptions from small bites likesoup dumplings, bowls withrice including pork belly,soup, and much more.It took about twenty minutesfor my soup to arrive in avery hot bowl.The broth did not have astrong taste to it and wasbland tasting, the thinnoodles were average, andthe Won Ton dumplingswere small with good taste.Located on Pine Street indowntown Redding anda short distance from theAmerica Modern Hotel.A nice place to stop fordinner with friendly service,a beautifully designedrestaurant, and food thatis solid, but not great.

This place is super nice inside. Its a little pricey, especially for entrees but the appetizers are really good. In particular the Tom Yum Clams and the Endamame were delicious. The cocktails were really inventive and good! This is a great place and Id definitely eat here again. The only criticism Id have was that about half the clams were closed in our order but the broth was amazing. The calamari was also a bit chewy but had great flavor!

So this was our first time to this restaurant. It is still fairly new to the area. Its a bit pricey I think, but I will let you be the judge of that. I will make this review a little easier to read than my normal ones.Positive remarks:- customer service was above and beyond expectations. They kept our glasses full and our table clear of dirty plates. Very attentive staff, very friendly. Kayla, our server, and also the bartender for the restaurant, made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you, Kayla 😊.- The atmosphere of the restaurant is very unique. I have not seen decor like this since being in Asia. Whoever designed this place knew what they were doing.- Saturday evenings, there is live piano music that is played while you eat your meals.Neutral remarks:- parking is plentiful but only free after 6pm and on weekends- the water is tasty, filtered, but not ice cold- you can walk in and get a table, but a reservation would be best just to be safeNegative remarks:- the menu has errors on it. They have not fixed them- the mixed salad is pretty looking but VERY heavy with dressing, and for some reason, the sesame dressing is also very spicy. Its also $8 on the menu, but they charge you $10 on the bill.- I ordered the honey glazed prawns, which were fantastic, but they fail to tell you that the tails are still on them. BE AWARE when you eat them, the breading and honey glazing covers them pretty well, and if youre not paying attention, you will get one on your mouth. I had to pull each tail off, which interrupted my eating experience.Overall I was happy with this restaurant visit and will be attending again, hopefully on a Saturday evening instead so I can enjoy the mellow keys of the piano while I eat.Hope you enjoyed my review, like, and follow for more detailed reviews.

Upon entering, I noticed how clean the place is!! We were seated right away! So many choices on the menu. We started with the calamari and then ordered the spicy soup, kalbi bowl and the wagyu burger. Everything was hot and delicious! We’ll be back for sure.

Its a beautiful restaurant in downtown Redding. The food was good. Service was great, atmosphere was outstanding. It was a fun place to dine. Everyone had fun and Ill be back soon. Wasnt too salty and overseasoned. But very flavorful....Service seemed a little slow. But they were very busy, so understandable.

This is such a nice place! The food and drinks are delicious and the staff are all very friendly and keep the bar spotless. Its a place you can go to for a casual drink or company dinner, the atmosphere is very laid back and comfortable and I feel safe going to this bar by myself. Depending on what you get it can be a bit pricey, but its definitely worth it for the experience. Treat yourself!

This evening was my 5th visit to Taroko. when I want to celebrate a good day or improve a bad day, Ill basically find any excuse to come here. The service is always snappy and genuine, the atmosphere is beautifully calm and welcoming (especially Saturday nights when they have live piano) and the food is always delicious. I see a few other reviews that I feel are overly harsh. In the restaurant world, no matter how perfect a restaurant is there will always be a night where something isnt quite to your liking, however, I have a feeling these people didnt let the staff know or give them a chance to improve their experience before taking straight to google;) if you have an issue, they will fix it. All in all my favorite restaurant in town and I cant wait to go back.

Food is delicious and they have a nice selection of drinks. The speed of the service varies, but staff has been quite friendly. We like that they offer a kids menu!

We went to dinner around 4:30 and enjoyed every bit of it! Our food was amazing and drinks were so good! We ordered the lychee lemon drop which I would 100% order again. The popcorn chicken was amazing and the calamari! The service was great! We sat at the bar. All of the staff were friendly.We will comeback againUPDATEwe came back for a second time and were again blown away by the service. Our waitresses name was Ashley and she was AMAZING. She was VERY attentive to our needs and was on top of service. The restaurant was packed, yet we got our order promptly. We ordered the popcorn chicken and lychee lemon drop once again they were fantastic. We decided to try the scallion pancakes which were to die for. I ordered the beef bowl and was offered 4 different types of sauces that were brought to the table. I thought this was a very nice touch and I liked being able to try all of them. If you are looking for a great restaurant, with awesome staff, great food and drinks then come to Taroko!

A little bit of backstory…. Tonight is the Redding Christmas parade and it’s raining quite a bit! So… Along the parade route everyone has pop up tents set up. So we brought one as well and we were struggling a little bit to set it up taking a moment in front of Taroko. Then, this rude hostess starts banging on the door as we were struggling. Anyways, she opens the door and says we need to move which obviously going to do once it got set up. So we finally got it set up (thank you strangers!) and moved it half on the the street and half on the sidewalk with plenty of room for people to walk in and out. She comes out at yells at us again because she didn’t want it in front of the restaurant at all saying she wanted people to get in and out (as people were walking in and out with plenty of room no problem) I explained that there was a parade and people were going to be sitting in front on the restaurant but I didn’t want to crowd the people on either side. Anyways, totally unnecessary and not empathetic reaction. Merry Christmas Taroko!
