I've ordered in a couple of times. The food is really good and they deliver. I've had pork buns, Lo Mein, dumplings, a couple of steak dishes, etc...the usual. I've been to many Chinese restaurants in the area and this place really stands out. Had company for New Year's Eve and ordered in. everyone agreed that the food was excellent. read more

I LOVED the food! Authentic flavor. I had the beef with rice noodle soup, it was Delicious! No more trips to Flushing for me. Service was good. Will be going back. read more

Hate giving bad reviews but the service here is the worst I've ever experienced. The waiter was rushing us as me and my friends were ordering and seemed very frustrated at us for no apparent reason. Also, he was in a rush to clear our table even though the restaurant wasn't very busy and not many people were coming in. The waiter actually took my friend's plate from under her while she was eating. It was so ridiculous. Food was okay. Honey dew bubble tea was the highlight of my meal. read more

Great dim sum and dumplings! Everything is made to order so be prepared to wait a little- prices are great too! read more

I love this place. The dumplings are delicious. I have also ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai and have enjoyed that also.

LOVE THEIR FOOD, but the service sucks. The waiter basically threw a coke at me and took a cigarette in between serving us, all while making awkward eye contact with me. I will order to go or do delivery from here on out. read more

Decent food it's probably better then most typical suburban Americanized chinese restaurants. Soup dumplings were really good I've only had those in Chinatown. This place is definitely on the more authentic side but not as good as flushing or Chinatown. But if your in stony brook this is probably your best option if u don't want to drive far. The milk teas looked good too I'll have to get one next time. read more

Red Tiger Dumpling House - Soup dumplings - Shanghainese Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I have been looking for a decent Chinese place for years! This is the best I have ever had in my life! PERIOD! My boyfriend ordered the "Shredded Potato with Hot Pepper" and I will never look at potato the same way again. It tasted out of this world. I also had the orange chicken, which had a perfect sauce, not too sweet. And we got the pork and veggie dumplings, which were perfect and really lived up to there name sake. And to top it all off, the staff are such polite nice people. We enjoyed every second of our meal and I cannot wait to go back! Thank you Red Tiger :) read more

UPDATE!!!! I ordered this order from grubhub...next few days after.....MY IDENTITY was stolen! I kid you not, all of a sudden charges started to show up in queens. This was the only place to have my info. Reviewed On Apr 11 2015 Food was ridiculously spicy- not in a complex good way...in a "we dumped pepper flakes all over everything" sort of way...this made it difficult to eat. Portions are small, containers not filled all the way and stingy with the rice. Dumplings were bland, and did not have an authentic Chinatown taste. Fresh though, but not worth having again. When placing order online asked for condiments and were given none, also no crunchy noodles were given with my soup. While the food was edible, it wasn't terrific, and I am praying that I don't get any kind of food poisoning because reliving this experience again would be a nightmare. read more

Good food but the service is awful. Soup dumplings are good for a local place if you don't want to trek to Flushing. Obnoxiously rude waiter. Ordered 3 items. Two came out in 10 minutes. The last took 40 minutes. The waiter couldn't be bothered with anybody. If he hates his job that much, he should consider changing jobs. He shouldn't have a job where he has to interact with people. read more

A small place but the food is excellent. Had soup dumplings, scallion pancakes and fried dumplings all delicious.

absolutely bangin!! soup dumplings are on point!! and they have bubble tea. i've done this in the winter and even the hottest days in the summer. its an absolute delight! read more

Have been here a few times and not much has changed. Place totally overrated Food is average , Place is small and noisy. This place is nothing special. The worst part about this place is the owner and workers. I would give this place 5 stars for being RUDE and Nasty. If you want to be treated poorly , rushed and un comfortable , and have other people sit right on top of you, Go there. If you want to enjoy yourself , Go some where else. read more

The place needs a little fixing up but their Scallion Pancakes and Bubble teas are pretty amazing!!

RTDH was probably the place to be a few years back when fresh noods and dumplings were hard to come by on LI. Actually, they still are, but the hunt isn't as bad as it used to be. Maybe we ask more from our noodle houses these days than a spot that still looks like a functioning deli? I dunno, but it seems like Red Tiger hasn't changed much in face of the competition and has been left behind in a trail of inconsistency. For the most part, I'd eat noodles out of a sewer cave bunker mud hut if they were good enough, so the three stars isn't all for lack of atmosphere. It's really for the questionable eats after you order... you just don't know if it's going to be fantastic or a failure. Hot or cold. Fresh or from (last) Friday. Sometimes this is my fave spot to stop and grab takeout and I swerve in the road as I pop 'lings into my mouth while driving. Other times, I need to apologize for folks in the (beautiful) new bike lane nearby as I chuck a cold and bland dumpling from my passenger side window and curse at the time I wasted here. You get the point. It's still good enough to warrant a visit if you're in the area, but it's lost the appeal of a place to travel for. I'll be back, surely, and can only hope for better times. read more

The food is decent but it has been declining in quality and portion sizes over the past few years. No food is worth it when the staff is unbelievably rude however. A staff member asked for an unreasonable tip when I had already tipped 20%. The first thing you see when you walk into the restaurant is a sign telling you, not asking you, to tip in cash only. I suppose the workers learn to be aggressive when it comes to tips from their managers and restaurant owners. The food is not worth the annoyance, and this is coming from a very collected person. I used to enjoy Red Tiger but the decline in food and service makes me not want to return. read more

My go to place for Soup Dumplings in the local area! Some of the other items are hit or miss and the lighting and decor is a bit strange and sterile but when the craving strikes for Soup Dumplings Red Tiger Dumpling house always delivers! read more

Forgot items in our delivery order than refused to refund or replace items! Never ordering again! Overpriced and rude staff!

Shrimp dumplings (bottoms of stack), soup dumplings (top of stack, shrimp green beans in the middle and dragon Phoenix dumpling aswell, super spiced but so delicious... my favorite was the shrimp and green beans! The shrimp dumplings were kinda fishy and the soup dumplings were either too thin or over cooked Bc each one broke as we gently picked it up.. never got any soup :( read more

Red Tiger Dumpling House - Shanghainese Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

We went there for dinner the other night. Food was good, authentic dishes tailored to the Chinese population. I must say though that the services are not up to par, rather too casual. The cashiers and waitresses were dressed in every day street clothes and all talking nonchalantly in Mandarin. There were talks about which table left how much tips, if they paid or not, checks etc.. If you do not understand the language, it may come off as unprofessional. For those of us that do understand, it just simply degrades the whole dining experience and ruins the atmosphere. Let's just say, there is definitely room for improvement. read more

Authentic Shanghai cuisine...love the dumpling soup and scallion pancakes that took me back....a must try at this best kept secret resturant. Don't expect fancy decor but who cares the food is a must try. YUMMO. read more

Cute little place, clean bit on the small side. Dumplings are super good we were excited to try other food on the menu as well. Stick to the dumplings and lomein and you will be good! other food was just ok. It is called dumpling house for a reason! will definitely go back because those little pockets of deliciousness are addicting! read more

The dumplings were amazing, the service was okay, I feel like they could have put more effect into the appearance, and real tea cups would have been nicer to drink out of instead of cardboard cups. read more

See all

Seriously good soup dumplings. The waiter talked me out of the cumin beef, though, and I feel that I let him bully me a bit.

This little place has great Udon soup. I love the broth and the thick noodles. I can fill up on the soup and whenever I am in the area, we stop off and I get this soup. My kids love the boba tea which is difficult to find as authentic as this place on eastern Long Island. read more

Worst waiter I've ever encountered Unfortunately I couldn't get his name, but he was the rudest waiter I've ever met. I will describe one of the things he did below. Firstly, the food was decent - I've had better and cheaper soup dumplings in Queens before. Their sesame chicken dish is about $14, but doesn't come with any rice.... Now onto our encounter with the waiter. Our waiter spilled my soy sauce as he was serving our soup dumplings, but did not even apologize. He immediately just took my friend's napkin to wipe the soy sauce off the table and floor, and didn't give her a new napkin. I asked him for one; he came back with two and threw it on our table. Never asked us if we needed refills on our water. Never attended to us except when he served us food. I've heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, and anticipated a good experience.. but after today, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Always wrongs things on the menu. I ordered two small fried rice for two people but they came with a large one n we were in a party and we didn't have any bowls to split it. They didn't mention it at the beginning at all. read more

Just ordered a quick take out. Singapore mei fun and hot and sour soup. The soup was tasty except it had a lot of oil in it. I found that strange and a turn-off! It was as if the cook grabbed the wrong bottle and added oil instead of whatever! The Singapore mei fun was good. I'm curious to try the soup dumplings and the beef chow fun which is listed as "beef flat noodles." Must be the "American" term for chow fun. I'll have to give it another try..... read more

Although reviews here have had mixed service and vary depending on what was ordered, the many times I've eaten Red Tiger's food, I've had pretty good service. The staff were quite accommodating and are incredibly efficient in multitasking all over the place. As for their food, I say that they definitely are amazing at what they serve. Being that this restaurant is a "Dumpling House", I would ALWAYS come here for their dumplings. Most of the pouches of tucked-in goodness are heavenly, and I normally don't eat them with the soy sauce they come with. The crystal shrimp dumplings have a wonderful translucent skin with tender shrimp meat on the inside. The soup dumplings have incredible flavor to them, too. Out of the blue, I was in a rush and had to order Yang Zhou fried rice, which surprised me to be pretty well sautéed. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to stop by this joint to order a dumpling dish or two. Top preference amongst everything else I've ordered. Everything else on the menu is alright, too, but there's no guarantee that they will be prepared to your liking as expected from the dumplings I've had. Overall, staff is courteous and I definitely suggest you try this place sometime. read more

Service and decor is average but the food is very good. Priced fairly. Definitely try it!!! Dumplings rock!

This place is so filthy and dirty, you are truly taking a risk eating here. I watch as cooks and wait staff throw garbage out without washing there hands, sit in the back smoke cigarettes and go back in without washing their hands. Nasty place read more

Red Tiger Dumpling House - Shanghainese Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

The food is okay, but the service is terrible. First of all, they do not take credit cards for bill under $25 as their "restaurant policy". My friend and I ate $20 for lunch and they asked us to pay in cash. Okay. So we paid two twenty dollar bills and they sent the change back without original receipt. We left decent tips about 18% but I was wondering why the change is less than I thought after I left. Therefore, I called back and tried to figure out the reason. The guy answered the phone told me that the tips are included in the bill. I am okay with paying more tips because it's my fault not checking the details on my bill. However, what pissed me off the most is that he told me "It is you who want to pay more, not me." Fine. I will never come back again due to your attitude. Thanks. read more

What can I say other than amazing food. Like homemade to me. Since I'm Chinese, I can safely say this restaurant is the closet to authentic Chinese food. The dumplings are incredible packed with flavor and their other dishes are equally flavorful. Overall definitely worth a trip. read more

Visiting from out of town, I found the Chinese food offerings in the area kind of lackluster. Typical strip mall lameness with the menu over the counter all ordered from the same "So You Want to Open a Chinese Restaurant" catalog. Then we found Red Tiger. The food was fresh, the dumplings were delish, and the bubble tea was legit. Good pricing for good food! We got there aboutn15 min before closing, and they didn't mind that we stayed in to eat. The staff was very courteous and helpful. It bums me out that I'll probably never get to come back, as it's doubtful I'll be back here for work anytime soon. So, please, go on my behalf. Have some dumplings for me a pour some bubble tea out for your homie. read more

Got food here 3 times, 2 delivery , 1 dining in First time getting food here for delivery was very expected. I ordered some minced meat noodle soup. It was nothing but noodle, soup and literally a table of minched meat... so not worth the money. Second time, I went for dining in. It was better experience (since I did not get the same food). Food was decent. but just the fact that I left the store and forgetting the drink I just ordered on the table(it was still full cup). In just few minutes after I left, I went back to get it. They already threw away... I was angry since it was not even 5 minutes that I left the store but they said they would make new one. So it's all good. 3rd time (today) delivery and it was absolutely horrible including food and service. I ordered 2 dish(sautéed and noodle soup) and 1 appertizer. they give NO utensils. So cheap....Sauteed was almost tasteless with extremely dry meat plus it was extremely oily. Doesnt even come with rice. The sauce that come with appetizer was not carefully cover, the sauce spilled all over the container. Noodle soup was nothing but soup, noodle and meat. NO VEGGIES AT ALL!!! . (I got the same thing when I dined in. But that dish came with vegetables in it so I don't understand why they don't give me veggie like they serve at the restaurant) . Second, I was charged 1$ for "open food" wtf is this? I would be completely understand IF they at least tell me what it is. The fact that I was unawarely charged for "open food" is just unacceptable. I checked their website. It says " Free delivery" or I have no idea where the heck this come from. And FINALLY the delivery guy just got on my nervous. I went out to pay and gave the guy tips($3). Guess what? He rudely said he won't accept it because IT WAS TOO LITTLE AND HE INSISTED ME TO PUT MORE TIPS ON THE RECEIPT!! are they f***ing kidding me? My order was not even a big order only an appetizer and 2 dishes. It was really unacceptable. read more

For anyone who has any complaints about this place....You need to stop being so critical just to be critical. I have 18 years in the restaurant industry and strongly believe that the customer is not always right. Sorry. People tend to comlain just because they can. They nit pick and think they know what they are talking about but in fact they dont. Its sad that this day in age the term "foodie" has begun to ruin this industry. Places like Yelp have also helped in the bastardizing of our kitchens and restaurants. Please leave the harsh critiques for those that know what they are talking about. Complaining that a place doesnt have chinese soup spoons????? I mean serious??!!! Use yourt chopsticks. Complaining about paper water cups?? Really? Start-upsd are always strapped for cash and need to make sacrifices in opening and would much rather out that extra few bucks into the food and beverage part and not water serving vessels. The reason im writing this cause this little place blocks away from SBU and pretty much in ther heart of Stony Brook is hands down, Simply Delicious!!!! Everything i had was amazing. And i dont want trivial complaints keeping people from going. Again This Place Rocks!!! Coming from a Chef and food service employee for 18+ years!!!! The service that everyone complained about is absurd, while yes there might be a slight language barrier they get your order right....It might take a few times to explain what you want but thats comes with territory when getting authentic food from authentic people. Its not the end of the world. You are not in Budokan in NYC, Or Daniels in NYC, you are in a little dumpling house in Stony Brook. the staff is Super Friendly and the FOOD is to DIE FOR!!! I Recommend ordering the Scallion Pancakes (especially the dipping sauce) the shredded potatoes are great slightly spicy, slightly crunchy well seasoned. the Sauteed String Beans.....Delish. Fresh String Beans!!! NOT FROZEN!!! with scallion, garlic and what looked like a little black beans sauce. At first bite they were a little salty but the more you eat the better they get!!! The Cumin Chicken was soooo good....perfectly seasoned. Now on to the Piece de resistance....The Soup Dumplings.....OMFG!!!! The dough was light the broth was amazing and the top of the dumpling (as this comes from being handmade) were thiick and dense enough to be able to be picked up by your chopsticks (no spoon needed) They have two kinds plain Pork then also a Pork and Crab..... If you have read any of the negative comments about this place and were on the fence.....Forget them and be your own person and make your own descions. Try them out you wont be sorry and you WILL go back.... read more

My granddaughter and I went to lunch yesterday at Red Tiger Dumpling House. Plenty of parking spaces! I had never been there but my granddaughter has. She was surprised by the renovation and exclaimed that it looked so good. Despite the plentiful seating there were people waiting to get in at lunchtime! That is a sign right there of good food coming. We were not disappointed. The pork crab soup dumplings were really delicious and perfectly cooked. We shared a sesame chicken and fluffy rice - granddaughter chose that for us to share. I am not a fan of sesame chicken because of the sweetness. It was not too sweet and again an ample portion and very good!! We walked away full and satisfied and had leftovers. Service was attentive and food came out in a timely manner. I will go back since I am a huge fan of asian cuisine. The fifth star is missing only because of the cold draft coming from the window. read more

We ordered from Uber eats, and when our order came we were missing an order. When we called we were met with a man who was nothing but rude and kept hanging up on us!! He was horrible and we suggest that there are MANY other places just as good to order from, they do not deserve the business when they treat people so poorly who paid for their food and don't get what they paid for!!! read more

Excellent delicious dumplings, family friendly and def one of our fav spots in stony brook. Great menu, plenty of dishes to choose from, shrimp shumai are a must try and the soup dumplings are also amazing. Service is excellent and prices are also very fair. read more

I've been to Red Tiger Dumpling house a few times now and it definitely is my favorite place to grab Chinese in the area. I've had a bunch of the dumplings (all which are great), both the beef and pork scallion pancake wraps, pork and beef fried rice, and general tso's chicken. What I love about the food is that is tasty, surprisingly "light" for Chinese food, and always fresh. I know some people have complained about the service, but if you look past that then the experience can be a good one. Give them a try! read more
