Food and atmosphere, great. Service, so-so. The food was delicious and came out fast, but the service felt rushed. The staff kept checking in too frequently, and before I was even finished - with food still in my mouth - they dropped off the check without me asking. On top of that, the bill included a 'suggested gratuity' calculated on the after-tax total, which felt misleading and unnecessary. It left a bad impression, which is a shame because the food itself was great! Who is in charge of these decisions??
Ok, first of all I need to say MAKE a reservation. I made a reservation for two on a Sunday and we had to wait about 20 min (not bad at all) after our reservation time to get seated. BUT we saw people with reservations that had to wait 45 min - 1 hour to bee seated after their reservation time. With that said PLEASE make sure to have a reservation prior to visiting. The place is small but it feels so cozy and homey . The food is AMAZING!!! Their service is fantastic and the food gets to you pretty fast and warm. Also we went for brunch and I have to say it is fenomenal for the price and the quality of the ingredients are fantastic and for 36 dollars - you can’t beat that! We also ordered of the menu their duck and that my friends is to die for. I will definitely be going back.
Everything was wonderful. We are Asian and loved everything we ordered; the service was excellent. The dumplings were fantastic. We took advantage of their all-you-can-eat restaurant week special. My 10-year-old son also enjoyed everything. We will definitely come back.
I've been to Tiger Dumplings a few times now and have enjoyed it every time. The food is high quality and authentic, and the soup dumplings especially are appropriately juicy. Their water dumplings are good but not exceptional, but their side dishes are excellent. The ambience is fantastic too, airy and open. My only complaint is that service can be a bit slow and all over the place, but that's not something I personally mind much
I absolutely loved everything about this place! The food was simply delicious, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance created the perfect atmosphere for a delightful dining experience. It was my second time here, and I can't wait to come back for more mouth-watering dishes! UPDATE: I enjoyed their newly launched unlimited brunch, available on Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The price was very reasonable at 36.95 per person for a 90-minute limit. I tried many dishes, and everything was great. My favorites were the spicy sesame cold noodles, signature pot stickers, braised pork belly, cucumber salad, brown sugar sweet rice cake, and coconut mini sago.
Everyone ask for Yona when you arrive!!! On top of their amazing food and outstanding cuisine. Yona made us feel right at home. We are from Maryland and this food place has been on my “must visit list” for 3 months. I am so happy we did! We ordered a little bit of everything and it was worth it — the tiger dumpling, chicken Shiitake potsticker, Hot Chili Oil Peanut Noodles, Shanghai Roasted Duck with Extra sauce, Ube cheese cake, Sesame Red Bean balls. The service is quick and everyone is super friendly. Do visit!!! Thank you to the amazing staff and chef(s). We will be back to experience the brunch menu soon.
Yes, yes and a resounding YES!! I’ve been to Tiger Dumplings twice now, and each and every visit I’ve been super impressed with the quality and the flavours with each of the dishes and dumplings that I’ve tried. The restaurant is decorated with a beautiful contemporary boho chic meets Asia style decor, which to me really adds to the ambiance and experince. This visit, I decided to try the Tiger Signature Dumplings and the Fried Pork Chop over noodles… Can we say DIVINE!!! My friend ordered the Lamb Carrot Dumplings and the Combination Stir-Fried Noodles and she was similarly “ummm-ing and ahhhh-ing”! Literally, you will not be disappointed & I cannot wait to come back to try the bottomless brunch so I can explore more of menu!!
I tried the AYCE menu during the restaurant week then came back for the Brunch menu that they just added. I was happy both times. This would be a nice and 'safe' place for my friends who like dumplings since they are scared of chicken feet, pork intestines and other Chinese traditional delicacies at other places :))). Overall, I really enjoyed the ambience, the service and the food here, except the crystal shrimp dumplings. I had better ones that looked more like crystals with thinner skin. But for AYCE, this place is the best for me so far. It's soooooo much better than Han Palace (UGH I hate that place, such a waste of money).
