This place is wild! Like the name says. The food is tapas style and strong. Both in flavor and in spice.
Came here for a group dinner. Was a bit of a walk from the subway station, but we were able to get reservations relatively easy. The dining room was covered in more traditional decor and lots of tigers, also some beautiful windows at the end. The happy hour times are also easier to make. Had the Pink Panther as my drink and it was very good. Between the four of us, we shared the gyoza, shumai, karage, takowasa, black panther curry, tiger udon, and wagyu don, and had some food leftover. Everything was good, though my favorites were the wagyu don and the shu mai. There was also a smokey dish with an amazing presentation that other tables were getting. Had a great dinner hear & would recommend it.
The food and atmosphere was definitely amazing. They definitely deserve more traffic, the food came fast, was fresh and food was delicious and tender 10/10 would definitely recommend ‼
We came here on a Saturday night at 8pm (party of 4) my parents, brother and myself. The restaurant was almost full, and we had only booked our table about 45 mins before arriving so were lucky to get a table. The decor and vibe are cool, but the restaurant can be very loud. For birthdays they blast music that doesn't suit the rest of the vibe and we were having trouble having conversation or hearing our server, but thankfully the super loud music was only intermittent. We enjoyed some of their great custom cocktails some incredibly delicious dishes. As others noted, it's not traditional food, so I wasn't sure how it was going to taste, but almost everything we had was great. The tuna larb was incredible - this was our tables favorite of the night, so full of flavor. The black panther curry and the green duck curry were also great. We ordered a mango sticky rice to go which was also excellent. I had read a lot of people rave about the tuna rice crackers, but we all felt these were a miss and didn't bring much flavor. Overall the meal was excellent and I would return again.
Great service, great food. While it's not the most traditional and more modern it's still super good. The decor was a lot of tigers so it matches their name and description. The food was good good. More saucy and savory with a mild sweetness to the dishes. The spicy dishes were not too spicy and good for the flavor. They get quite some people in here and the entrance also looks like an apartment building. The drinks are nice and mellow. Good mixes with for everybody's taste. Would come here again to get more.

Let's just say before my meal was even over, i was planning for the next time i'd be returning... that's how amazing of an experience my party had! The ambiance is awesome- loud music (but not too loud), tigers all around, and a "cool" loungey vibe surrounds the restaurant. The cocktails were all incredible, I referred the Tiger Smash. The appetizers were great- the Hoy Yai oysters are a must get. Other highlights were: fried rice, tuna tartar, scallop Ikura handroll, shumai. Can't write this review without mentioning the service. An incredibly rude customer approached our table trying to kick us out for her reservation while we still had full drinks! Patty (the amazing hostess) came in and apologized for the customer and even offered us to stay for another round of drinks and let us know we did not have to be in any rush as their management would accommodate the upcoming reservation. SHOUTOUT PATTY! All in all- 10/10 vibes, 10/10 drinks, and 8/10 food (still amazing!).
A trendy, instagrammable spot, which always gives me pause on if the food leans gimmicky or is actually good. Overall verdict is that it's pretty good, but it's a high price for what it is. You're paying for the ambiance, the plating, the gold flakes, perhaps. We got the tuna zuke, tuna rice cracker, black panther curry, and a pink panther cocktail. The tuna zuke was solid. The tuna rice cracker was delicious (loved the flavors in the fish and the crunch of the cracker). The curry was pretty good. It came with (not that much) noodles and the steak on top wasn't as tender as I'd hoped. They do have reasonably timed happy hours with small plates, so if I return I'd aim to come during that time again.
This restaurant has such a fun and unique concept of tigers. It definitely seems to be more of a trendy, instagrammable sort of place but it was worth trying out and I do think I would return for certain items. However, be ready to spend some money here. There is also a happy menu where some drinks and foods will be cheaper so I would recommend getting their drinks! I came with my friend and we got a few things - all of which we really enjoyed! We started with the Scallop Chin which was scallop with uni, caviar, and a gold leaf and this one bite was a bit expensive in my opinion ($16). When they present it, it is incased in smoke and it looked very pretty. Despite the price, it was really fun and I wished I could've eaten more. I got the Black Panther Curry and this was absolutely delicious! I definitely would come back just for this dish. I loved the creaminess of the curry and the coconut milk. The squid ink noodles went beyond my expectations and the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly. I really have no complaints about this dish. Even though I don't have a good spice tolerance, I asked for mild spiciness, and the spice actually made the dish taste better. My friend got their Tom Yum Ramen and I got to have a taste and I really like their broth. I do think that it's not really worth $26 however. The only meat in it as the Jumbo prawn which looks amazing but there wasn't much meat in it since there was only 1 prawn. Their drinks are quite fun as well! I went with the Pink Panther because I prefer my drinks sweet and fruity and I really liked this drink, I'd definitely get it again. My friend opted for their Bad Kitty on Fire which was very cool looking. They will sprinkle the cinnamon and torch it and you'll see a big flame. If you like mezcal and unique drinks, this may be the one for you. I hope to come back soon for their Black Panther Curry again! This place is really a gem and the servers were so kind and patient.
