SooRah Restaurant

Jim and I and some RVM friends have had some very good Korean dinners at SooRah restaurant in Medford. Downtown, at 38 N Central (across from old Woolworth building) they are open 7 days a week 11-9:30. The congenial owner /host will walk you through the menu and his wife is one of the chefs. It is in a very nice space and has a full bar.

Misoya Bistro If Misoya Bistro 235 Theater Alley Medford isn't on your list, it should be. They have Japanese and Korean dishes as well as Sushi! Jim Quan 3/24/21
Tin Tin's Chinese Buffet

We love "Tin Tin's" Chinese buffet. It's the best in Southern Oregon. They have a fabulous selection of delicious food. They are in Popular Square shopping center.

The New China
Thor, we went to The New China on Barnett Rd between the Chevron Station and Jack in the Box. Parking is tricky at busy times.

New China
I've been looking for good Chinese food in the Valley since moving here 3+ yrs ago. I tried New China cafe a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered one of their combo dishes and a chow fun dish. The mgr explained that they did not use the very wide, whitish noodle that I was expecting from dining in Hawaii and San Francisco, but another thinner kind of "chow fun." He also said this place is connected with the Chinese restaurant in Ashland, the one located near Mkt of Choice (forgot its name). I did recognize the same style of heavily breaded, deep fried morcels in the combo dish as they serve in Ashland. The leftovers heated up the next day were also tasty. I'd rate this place 4 out of 5, but that's in comparison to what is available in southern Oregon, not to the wondrous Chinese cuisine available in big cities.

Italian Restaurants      

Vinny's Italian Kitchen

We just had our first meal at Vinny's Italian Kitchen, and found it delightful. Eight of us ordered many different choices from the menu, and all found our meals excellent. The restaurant's ambiance is very pleasant, and it was easy to carry on a conversation. Vinny's three generations of owners were very welcoming and provided us with excellent service. This will be high on our list of favorite restaurants in the area, for a quiet meal alone or a place to take friends.

Mexican Restaurants      
El Tapatio
I love Mexican food and have tired several restaurants in our area. El Tapatio is my favorite. I've been there several times for both lunch and dinner. A very nicely appointed restaurant, family run, and HARD TO FIND. There has been lovely live music during several of the evenings. Not intrusive and very pleasant. The food is freshly prepared. Not greasy and they serve horchata! which I love. The margaritas are good, too!! The restaurant is just south of Valley View drive on Hwy 99 BEHIND the car dealerships. You need to drive thru the dealerships and around behind them to find this gem. Address:1633 Hwy 99, Ashland Phone: 541-488-2276

El Molcajete Mexican Grill.<>/td>
We have found THE BEST Mexican food in the area! El Molcajete Mexican Grill. It is at 1789 Stewart on the left, quite a way out from town. We've taken a number of friends there and all love it.

El Mocajete Mexican Grill

Based on Phillip Hunter's recommendation we went to El Mocajete Mexican Grill for lunch today. It was delicious. We had the signature dish for two and brought home enough leftover for Sunday supper. Thank for the tip, Phillip. We'll go back and tell others about it.

Amuse
Peerless
We love Amuse and Peerless in Ashland. Both restaurants have terrific food, and Peerless does have a patio, with heat lamps. Marilyn Perrin 3/23/21
Bamboo
Vinnie's
Dancin
Bella Union
Larks
We really like Bamboo. It is food. Before the pandemic they had a very nice outdoor patio, and I feel sure that they are using it now. You might also call Vinnie's right next door. They are Italian. They just recently-opened having returned from a different location. We have not been there since they re-opened. Another thought: Dancin. Call Bella Union. They have warm outdoor dining. Larks, Ashland! Use Open Table to reserve. Sandy Roberts 3/23/21
Bella Union I like the Bella Union in Jacksonville. It has nice outdoor seating under large arbors. Anne Newins 3/23/21
COMMON BLOCK BREWING COMPANY COMMON BLOCK BREWING COMPANY- in Medford- casual and lots of outside choices. M. Bj 3/23/21

Bambu
Jacksonville Inn
Peerless
“Bambu”, on nearby North Phoenix Rd. , “The Jacksonville Inn” in Jacksonville, “The Peerless” in Ashland, are 3 of the best. Many of the wineries have good menus, especially on week-ends. With COVID restrictions, outdoor dining may be the choice. Claudia Macmillan 3/24/21
Tap and Vine Did anyone recommend Tap and Vine here in Medford? The food is good ,you can sit outsideg. Doris Segner 3/24/21
     Bagels

Does anyone have a source for really good bagels?

Bob and Jane Hall 2/21/2015
The Little Shop of Bagels
The best bagels in the valley in my opinion are "The Little Shop of Bagels" located on Ashland Street next to the Cinema. It is a small shop that also sells to "Shop and Cart" and "Market of Choice". Go to the shop for more variety.

Pizza

I'm trying to put together a birthday celebration and need to know if anyone has tried any of the pizza parlors close by that they would recommend? Must serve thin crust, be clean, and helps to have good ambiance.

Jackson Creek Pizza

We just came back from having a pizza with the cast of "You Are the Jury" at a place on Main Street _I think the name is Jacksonville Pizza. It was DELICIOUS! Call me if you can't find out where it is.

WILD RIVER on
Try WILD RIVER on Hwy 99 north of the Mall. They have lots of room, even a private area for your party and have delicious thin crust baked in wood fired ovens. They also have other things on the menu. It's the best pizza I've had since NYC.

Kaleidoscope Pizza
We had Kaleidoscope Pizza on Crater Lake Hwy.(across from Costco) recommended to us, and have not been disappointed. Many combos, and delicious...see their website menu, www.kaleidoscopepizza.com. Indoor/outdoor, nice decor, can get crowded, so best call for accommodations for a party, and maybe go for early reservation for a group. Medford Tribune has consistently rated #1 in reader polls.

Jackson Creek Pizza
Jackson Creek Pizza, great on a warm evening as outside seating .
