A delicious and chill experience awaits you when you try this little spot in FiDi! A quiet and chill vibe with superb bartender service was given to me while I sat and enjoyed the ambiance! The food was a 10/10 and had great flavor. The spam in the fried rice was an unexpected treat! read more

This was an experience. We tried to go on Thursday night. Google said they were open, we get there, walk in and we're told they were closing and kitchen was already closed. Google said they were open for another hour but okay. Bummer, we were looking forward to trying out their tacos. We dis come back Friday night and have it another try. Got sat right away but NO TACOS. Just wasn't meant to be I guess. The server who I choose not to name was very pushy. She wanted us to order more was not subtle about it. We just wanted a chill last night in NYC, couple apps and couple drinks. The food was delicious. The drunken noodles were AMAZING. The honey orange duck bao's were VERY spicy, flavorful but I would not order those again We tried some new beers we haven't had before and were pleasantly surprised. We'll be back next time we're in NYC to try their tacos. read more

Food, drinks and service are always consistently Good. I Love the ambiance, with all The different seating areas and the vibie music. The bar towards the back side definitely has more of that happy hour crowd which is super cool read more

4-stars for food But a 5-star experience for overall vibes and service! For FiDi, this restaurant and bar feels like a breath of fresh air. It's cozy, unpretentious and offers a good range of food and drink options. Additionally, it wasn't very crowded when I visited on a Monday night which made it the perfect place to catch up with an old friend. We sat in the corner booth and had Axle as our server. He was absolutely lovely and made our long overdue, belated birthday catch up special. If I could give him 6-stars, he would deserve it! We ordered a few dishes: Cheesy Map Rice Cakes, Shrimp Shumai, Chicken Skewers and the Fancy Filet Bao. The rice cakes were super spicy and and bit heavy for my taste, but the fancy filet baos were right up my alley - kind of reminded me of a bao fish filet (sans the cheese.) Definitely a nice change of pace for the area and even if for the service alone, worth a visit! read more

We passed by this spot and decided to give this a try. The exterior is eye-catching and when you walk in, you are transported to another world. Our server was very outgoing and friendly even though the day outside was so cold and gloomy. Our server was also very attentive and our water cups were never empty. It was pretty empty but we arrived during an odd hour. Also they have a bathroom in the back. We ordered: Spicy steelhead crispy rice - 10/10 so good. The crispy rice adds a nice crunch and the fish topping is very refreshing. It is a bit spicy because of the sliced jalapeno so if you don't like spicy, just remove that. Drunken noodles - 10/10 very delicious. It was very savory with just the right amount of sweetness. The noodles and meat were cooked perfectly and I loved the pleasant basil aroma. Highly recommend. read more

There aren't many dining options in FiDi, but we stumbled upon Lucky Tiger for some Asian fusion cuisine. I was immediately amazed by the decor and aesthetics of this place, which is beautifully done. The restaurant is also separated into various rooms, which was cool. As a walk in on a Friday night, we were seated in the bar area with a high top table. The music is also a bit loud with a live DJ playing. We started off with the Lucky Tiger Shrimp Tempura ($16) to share. These were crunchy and flavorful, but quite a tiny dish. Then I had the Drunken Noodles ($22) with Beef (+$6) while my friend had the Kimchi Fried Rice ($23) with Beef (+$6). The extra cost for protein is a bit excessive on top of the already pricey dishes. I did enjoy the flavor, but this spot feels a bit catered to non-Asians more. Plus, the price just isn't worth what you're getting even though the food is tasty. Overall, decent spot when there's not many other options for food in the area. The space is nicely decorated and clean with fun vibes, but prepare for a pricey bill and small portions. read more

This is a nice spot to catch up and grab drinks with friends. I got the chasu (pork) tacos $19 - it was very flavorful and delicious but so small! I wish it was bit larger... It's a pretty spacious place! We did not have reservations but there was seating available during the weekday after 5pm. They have good happy hour specials! Friendly and attentive staff! read more

This place has it all! An innovative cocktail menu, amazing, fresh cuisine, and some of the most friendly bartenders you'll meet. Especially Matt, who really knows his stuff. Additionally, the music never gets so loud that you can't have a conversation. I went there three times and three nights, if that's any indication. Maybe I have a problem, maybe it's just that awesome. read more

Visiting NYC and stopped into lucky tiger for cocktails before dinner. Dudes at the bar were great, it was such a vibe in there and everything was so clean. Menus were fresh off the printer and a great selection. Wish we had more spots like this back home! Didn't try the food but wish we had the appetite for it! 10/10 read more

Great addition to the Financial District! Wonderful decor with a fun, trendy ambiance spread out over multiple rooms. Menu is not very extensive (and appears to be evolving) but we enjoyed the Lucky Tiger Tempura Cauliflower, Kara Age Crispy Chicken, Korean Short Rib Tacos and Peking Duck Tacos. Very friendly, helpful staff. Will be back! read more

The green tea lime is delicious. However, I couldn't help but feel like the service simply did not catch the vibe that they presented from the exterior and online. Truly great drinks, though! read more

The food was disappointing and the ambiance was terrible. Although our server was friendly, she accidentally dropped a cocktail near our table and later spilled soy sauce all over the table and me. The music was uncomfortably loud, and the entire place had an unpleasant odor. We had really hoped for a better experience, but unfortunately, we could not wait to leave. It was so bad that, for the first time, I did not even feel like taking any photos. read more

The place is huge, great decor, excellent service. The food was pretty good. The karaage chicken is perfectly fried, the short rib tacos are full of flavor, the rice cakes are so cheesy. read more

I work in the area, so a few colleagues and I decided to come for happy hour. We had a reservation, so they sat us in the back, back. It is surprisingly a very large restaurant! The decor is interesting. It's giving early 2000s "Orientalism", where they just throw all sorts of random Asian-themed items into a room and call it a day. There was a weird amalgamation of Thailand/Chiang Mai, Vietnam rainforest, Japanese Onigiri, and Chinese Tea decor. The menu was "Asian fusion", but in the way that wasn't inventive or particularly adventurous. When a menu says "Bao Bun", which is the equivilent to saying bun bun, then you know you're essentially in a spot where Asian fusion means slapping stuff in a bao or spring roll wrapper and calling it a day. We tried the Lucky Tiger Tempura Shrimp, Karaage Crispy Chicken (another redundancy because karaage is literally fried chicken), Fried Rice with Lemongrass chicken, and Korean Short Rib Tacos. Let's dissect. The Lucky Tiger Tempura Shrimp tasted like the bambam shrimp you'd get at a Chili's. The Korean Short Rib Tacos had no Korean flavors. It actually just tasted like a regular taco. And lastly, the Fried Rice, which was the worst affront of all. It was completely tasteless. Absolutely flavorless. We had to ask for soy sauce and it didn't even make it better. The lemongrass chicken was also completely void of any kind of flavor. And the rice was also wet. Zero wok hay whatsoever. After we ordered, we never saw our waiter ever again until the check came. There was almost no one to flag down. Drinks were fine, but if you're just looking for drinks, go to Split Eights a few blocks away. It's a much better menu and vibe. read more

What a great find! We stumbled into this place while walking by, and were not disappointed. The Asian cocktails are on fire! If you want to try something new and refreshing on the cocktail scene, this is the place. We also ordered a couple of light snacks while there. The cauliflower and shrimp tempura bites were delicious. We are looking forward to going back and enjoying a full meal. read more

Lucky Tiger is a great new spot in FiDi. The food is really tasty and perfect for sharing, the cocktails are creative and also a nice selection of good and reasonably priced wines (including sake which is my go to). Ronan, the owner is warm, welcoming, and makes you feel like an old friend the moment you walk in. I've gone twice so far and will add this to my rotation! read more

The food was flavorful but the portions were laughable. We paid $24 for 3 tacos that were the same size of the lemon wedge they put on the side. We also tried the drunken noodles, they were very tasty a little bit on the spicy side and small. We paid a fortune and left starving looking for a pizza or a food cart. read more

5 star Cocktails 2 star food 1 star house rules. They stupidly won't let you order from the entire cocktail menu if seated in a certain part of the restaurant. They say the bar can't handle it but that actually doesn't make any sense since they'll still order a cocktail. I went to the bar to order a forbidden drink and they actually made us move tables. This was also at 4 pm and we were one of two tables filled in the entire restaurant. But hey stick with the illogical house rules. Was there the night before and had a great time but this really soured me on the place. Then we headed to dead rabbit next store which was perfect. read more

Don't walk, run to Luck Tiger! This place was amazing. From the decor, to the attentive service to the food and drinks. We had the Rush Hour cocktail (frosted flakes infused!!!) and the I am Makrut mocktail - both 10/10. All the food was great - the chicken appetizer was amazing. The staff was so attentive, friendly and informative about the menu. We loved the vibe and decor. Great spot downtown. Will be back! read more

This place was a great find in a neighborhood that doesn't have alot of casual high quality spots. Had to take the L on the heat from the jalapeños on the crispy rice (too hot for me!) but really enjoyed everything here. read more

The food at Lucky Tiger is the best in Fidi. It's fresh and just the right portions. However, the real star of the restaurant is Matt, the bartender. I've lived in NYC for 17 years and have never met a more innovative bartender. You can tell him your favorite ingredients and he will make a drink that will blow your mind. He's what all bartenders aspire to be. Dont sleep on this place. read more

Honestly my fault for coming here with the intent of just eating. Cool lookin' spot, seems to amaze those who've never had good asian cuisine. Regular city prices given the portions, you get what you pay for. The Shumai was Trader Joe's at best. The fried rice is served in a molcajete which I wasn't too big a fan of. Next time I'll have to come for the drinks for a better overall review. One thing to note was the service. Our waiter was a nice young gentleman, but it seemed like the team overall was short-staffed? Not many customers, if any, at 3pm on a Saturday, but it seemed the waiter had his hands full helping out for a private event towards the back, so we hardly saw him. We had to order with the bartender who happened to pass by. read more

The food here could have been more flavorful. Great menu options, but they lack flavor . We ordered the lucky tiger fried rice with chicken and it was not seasoned AT ALL.. the chicken also had a green tint to it...perhaps from an ingredient?? Either way not appealing. The short rib bao was the best dish we had out of all, but still lacked flavor. I was hoping for more Asian bold flavors and that didn't come through any of the dishes. We also ordered the crispy rice and it was just too much mashed spicy fish on top. Great ambiance and vibe overall. Just need more flavor in the food. read more

Lucky Tiger feels like stepping into four different restaurants in one, each with its own unique vibe. We decided to hang out in the Toraya Room, and it truly felt like being transported to a bar in Tokyo. We were lucky to meet the talented Tony Milici, who introduced us to the Black Tea Manhattan and honestly, it was one of the best Manhattans I've had in a long time. We followed that with the Coffee Old Fashioned, which was excellent as well, but the showstopper of the night was the Duck Fat-Washed Negroni. Perfectly balanced and unforgettable. We also tried a few dishes, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The service stood out as well attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and cocktails. read more

Our server, Axel, was fantastic! We really enjoyed all of the small plates we ordered.

As a long time FiDi veteran, Lucky Tiger is the hottest spot to pop up since forever. That said where did they find Matty?!?!

one of a kind service experience from a one of a kind team! our star server was amazing! it was our first time in the city for date night and she added to the experience with knowledgeable food recommendations and perfect drinks to pair with our meal! I do have to say where we were sitting was a little cold, and we were expecting a more extensive food menu, was a little disappointed to see only two mezcal cocktail on the menu as my wife prefers that spirit, But our server Sandrea was amazing and offered other classic options and even allowed us to try a drink that she teamed up with one of the bartenders to give us a custom and wonderful experience to start off the first day of the new year. Overall 10/10 we are planning on coming back again very soon to have another Redheaded Martini with mezcal again! read more

For starters, the vibe was easily a 10. The decor and flow was excellent. The staff that I interacted with were all very helpful and attentive. The food was a whole other vibe, flavor, portion size and presentation are all important to me, and I wasn't disappointed. One of the owners even came by and talked to me and my group. We will definitely be back. read more
