    I stumbled upon this place while exploring the area. I was able to get a seat with no wait early on a Saturday. I ordered the oyster, scallop, crab fried rice and dessert. The oysters were delicious and a nice spice. The scallop was also good but very expensive 12 for 1. The crab fried rice was flavorful and had nice crunch on top. The drinks were good. Now what brings this review down was the service and dessert. The dessert was horrible and I couldn't even eat it but no one asked why they didnt ask to replace it or remove it from the bill and it was nasty, the texture and flavor were off idk if that's how it was intended but dont order it. I dont know if I would return here while I enjoyed the food it was overly expensive and the experience wasnt too great to pay that amount when other thai restaurant are a better time.

    Water spinach & Crispy Lamb Ribs

    Beautiful venue with great ambience. Really loved the famous lamb ribs, which my husband said just fell off the bone and had amazing flavor. I also thought the water spinach greens were spectacular, and my fried chicken had a very interesting subtle flavor. Not greasy at all! The portions were small, and the service was very strange. They brought two dishes before they brought us our cocktails and the next two dishes long after we had finished our cocktails and the rest of our food. Hence the four stars. But a lovely place for an upscale Asian meal.

    Singaporean Chili Crab Fried RiceSingapore

    Came here just for drinks and a snack at the bar. I got a tequila based cocktail (I believe the Divine Image) and really disliked it. I found it too sweet and off putting and couldn't have more than 2 sips. The bartender didn't seem to notice. I shared a bowl of Singaporean chili crab fried rice with a friend and it was meh at best (a little too spicy for me bc I'm a baby but overall I just thought it didn't taste that great). It's quite loud inside and pretty crowd so best to probably make a reservation.

    I'm still recovering from a full-blown food coma and honestly, zero regrets. I keep going back, and at this point, it's a serious (and delicious) addiction. Here's what did the damage: The Steak Tartare was a bold, perfectly seasoned, and the ideal way to start the night. The Hamachi Crudo was light, clean, and beautifully balanced. The Shiitake Mushroom & Glass Noodle Spring Rolls with sweet chili and peanut sauce were comforting (even if they didn't make it to the photo roll!). The Pan-Fried Pork & Shrimp Dumplings were an absolute flavor explosion , crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside. The Pan-Roasted Maine Scallops were cooked to perfection, with flavors that truly lingered. And then came the showstoppers : the Singaporean Chili Crab Fried Rice (don't question it, just order it.. it's perfect) and the Roasted Sea Bass in Banana Leaf in Turmeric infused coconut curry, which was pure island bliss, fragrant and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We ended strong with the Grilled Sirloin Steak, because you can simply never go wrong with a beautifully cooked steak infused with Aromatic Herbs, Spicy Tamarind Dressing, Toasted Rice. The service was quick and warm, adding to the overall experience.

    I had a pleasant surprise at "The Tyger" and gave them 5 stars. They have ample indoor and outdoor seating and are usually fully booked on a Saturday night. We got there a little after 6:30 pm and the only way to get in due to reservations, was to agree to give up the table by 8:00 pm. Not something I would normally do, although I was looking to do other things and desert elsewhere so I was ok with it. There is normally a 90 minute time limit even for a table of four on a Saturday night. Other days, especially Sundays do not have a limit. They are located at the foot of SoHo, Chinatown and Little Italy. Afterwards, we walked around the corner and literally walked into Little Italy. I felt like I was in Sicily or Naples. They offer Southeast Asian Cuisine, a full selection of cocktails, beer, liquors, and a fairly extensive wine list. They are concerned with their guests health safety and the first thing they ask you is if you have any allergies or food concerns. Their menu offers vegan options , gluten free and shellfish free options as well. The menu is broken down to raw, small plates, vegetables, rice and noodles, and deserts. Our server Erika was great, was very helpful and assured us that although we were on a time constraint we would not be rushed. Nicely decorated, very polite and attentive staff, the severs and cleaners were all wearing rubber gloves. Everything was spotless and had a clean look. Prices are a little on the high side, although that's Manhattan. We had the chicken skewers and the beef skewers. It was amazing how much flavor the chicken skewers had. Next was the spring rolls, you get four pieces and they weee not oily had also were excellent. My favorite dish was thePad Thai noodle with shrimp. You get five large shrimp that were cooked perfectly. They were moist and delicious. The last dish was the Singapore Chili Crab Fried Rice. Also excellent with a nice kick. All in all had a great time, would definitely go back and recommend turn highly.

    Went to The Tyger on a Friday night with two friends at dinner time. I highly recommend making reservations like we did! It's a very popular spot. The ambiance is very classy and with the bright airy space you felt transported to a new location. While there wasn't loud music playing (don't recall any at all actually) there was never a moment of silence due to the bustling conversations at every table. This is definitely a place to come with people to enjoy conversation and vibe. Our waiter Sarah did an excellent job of getting us started. While the menu items are familiar (pad Thai, fried chicken) the spin the restaurant puts on it and specifically the small details makes it extra special but can be overwhelming if you don't have someone to explain it to you. She let us know what dishes are popular, what dishes to steer away from if spicy is not your thing, and how many dishes was a good amount to be shared amongst our group. We each tried a different one of the 3 mocktails - all yummy and beautifully crafted. The fried chicken was yummy but the star was certainly the sauce it came with which I ended up drizzling all over the squid fried rice- yum! And the deserts were an experience. I got the Passion in Paradise which was so fun to eat! There was a new burst of flavor with each bite. I left with a full belly! For my first time there I chose to try specific dishes but I want to return to try the pre-fix menu so that I can try a variety. I hope that's not just a seasonal offering!

    I really really loved this place. Has amazing vegetarian food, perfect service and it has a beautiful ambiance and location. The bathroom is also beautiful ;) We had the pickles, a noodle dish and the spring rolls and I have up say that the tofu in the noodle dish and the mushrooms in the spring roll, stood out very much. The tofu was so soft and perfectly done, and the mushrooms in the spring rolls were so chewy and made the spring rolls such a dish apart from other spring rolls I've had everywhere else. I also appreciated that the spring rolls came with a lot of salad, such that they could be wrapped into a roll I had the yuzu beer and my friend had a mezcal cocktail which she really loved. The server was so attentive, took care of us and was so knowledgeable on the menu. I'll be visiting this place again and will also try out the "Chinese tuxedo" as the server recommended

    Really good spot with yummy food, came by with a couple of coworkers after an event and tried the mocktails. The purple one was so pretty and surprisingly good! Feels like mango lassi but in purple color and light ube flavor. Was originally a bit unsure how the lavender will turn out and it was quite nice and not too overpowering in the floral scent. My friend also got a crab fried rice and that was good too in flavor! Beef skewer was good too but small in portion. Will be back to try other items another time. Friendly and quick service.

    Came to The Tyger on a Friday night and was seated right away since it wasn't too busy. The hostess and our server were both super nice, which made for a good start. I tried the Singaporean chili crab fried rice, the octopus with basil and watermelon, and the morning glory. The fried rice had really nice flavor and spice, but I wish there was more crab in it. The octopus dish had a great citrusy kick and I loved the idea of pairing it with watermelon. Although, the watermelon was a little mushy. The morning glory wasn't my favorite this time; it tasted a bit tough and mostly stems. I've been here before and really enjoyed it, so I'm chalking this up to an off night. I'd definitely give it another try since I know they can be much better!

    Crispy Lamb Ribs
    Samantha D.

    Came here with some friends on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. The ambiance was very nice, the vibes were good and we all felt very comfortable. Service was another positive as our server was very professional and accommodating. She gave us recommendations from the menu and made sure we had everything we needed. We started off with drinks. A friend and I ordered a thai iced tea. Upon the first sip it was wayyyy too sweet. So much so that I couldn't bring myself to take another sip. My friend who loves sweets and has a high tolerance for sugar also admitted that it was too sweet. We asked if it could be remade less sweet and the server brought us new ones. These were also too sweet so if you prefer traditional Thai iced tea I would not recommend this one. For food, we ordered what the server recommended which was the baby gem salad, the duck, crab fried rice, and lamb rack. We also got the steak tartare as an appetizer. For the salad, it was nothing special- lettuce and toppings/dressing, not even other vegetables included. The steak tartare was pretty good, flavors were pretty well balanced. For the duck, the table agreed that it was the best dish ordered as it was the most unique and offered good flavors. It wasn't overcooked and we liked the bit of sweetness included with the sauce and the longan fruit. The crab fried rice wasn't as great as it could've been. The flavor seemed very one dimensional as the five spice overpowered everything else that was in it. The lamb ribs seemed promising as they were crispy and weren't dry but it was way too greasy/fatty. Overall, this is a nice place if you want to spend time with friends. The service and ambiance were the best things about our experience here. However, there can be improvements done on the drinks and food.

    Last night the Tyger seated a large table for my family. With so many people it was not an easy group to deal with but the staff there made it seamless! Big shoutout to Rizza, who gave my family amazing service. She even dropped off some goodies to the table for the birthday girl and we could not be more grateful. As always, the restaurant is beautiful and the food is amazing. I tried a new drink called 'Heaven's Shore" which reminded me a lot of the flavors of a mango lassi.

    One of my favorite places in nyc/soho. All time favorite is the Singaporean Chili Crab Fried Rice, 10/10. Can't find the steak on the menu now, but it is the "Crying Tiger" grilled sirloin steak. We loved that they paired it with the lemongrass and mint flavors, delicious! Not pictured are the Wok Tossed Heirloom String Beans. They were super fresh and had great flavor.

    A friend recommended The Tyger and I now owe that friend a hug. Really enjoyed my trip here. The vibe is great--dim, cozy and warm (even if you're by the windows). The serving staff is accommodating and kind--it was nice to have such a welcome, attentive staff! I enjoyed all the dishes I tried but will pay special homage to the dumpling appetizers--the cilantro inside added such a lift in what can often feel like a heavy dish. Lovely menu item I'd order again. The duck breast had an amazing sauce, really yummy sweet but grounded flavor. Forgot to snap photos of the pad thai so you'll just have to imagine what it looked like...or you can visit yourself to find out. :)

    Nice vibe

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Calling him a bartender almost feels like an understatement--he's a true cocktail craftsman. I was amazed watching him create drinks based simply on a few words or flavors we mentioned. It felt less like ordering a cocktail and more like collaborating on one. Of course, he also nailed the classics. The Clover Club and Gimlet were both perfectly executed, and my husband tried three different whiskey cocktails throughout the evening and loved every single one. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for from a speakeasy: dark, intimate, and unassuming. The space is small, which adds to the experience, although the bar stools are definitely not designed for settling in for a three-hour hang (my only minor complaint). But honestly, that probably helps keep the experience moving and allows more people to enjoy this special spot. Attaboy is a great example of why NYC has such a legendary cocktail scene. The drinks, the craftsmanship, and the personal attention make it clear why this place gets so much attention. We'll absolutely be back.
