    The octopus is outstanding, light yet very filling! The drinks come out at a steady pace and are delicious. Super unique flavors

    Great drinks, octopus was amazing! Service was attentive and welcoming. Will be returning

    Singaporean Chili Crab Fried RiceSingapore
    Tansy W.

    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 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!

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    I must try.

    What can I say? This place is phenomenal from the food to the service. The ambience is everything. We made reservations here for my birthday, so we were seated immediately. This was our first time there so the servers walk us through the menu and their own personal recommendations. The menu does change every few months with the seasons. The servers were very attentive and support staff was on point. One thing to consider when you order food it comes out as it's ready , so that everything is fresh. I do recommend making reservations. This place fills up on the weekend very quickly. And I definitely will be back. Highly recommend.

    Nice vibe

    The Tyger was definitely my favorite meal on this trip, and I will 100% go back and recommend. The service was awesome. They brought everything we asked for quickly, they asked if we were done before taking our plates, they were friendly, and just super on top of it. The food was so delicious. We ordered the green papaya salad, pad see ew' rice noodles with tofu, green beans, & chicken and beef satay skewers. The noodles & tofu were so delicious. They were a lot like chow fun but better, the flavors were so good, and the preparation of the tofu was unique and super delish. Not sure if that or the beef skewers were my favorite. The chicken was also great with the peanut sauce. It's hard to explain why it was better than your average skewers and noodles/tofu, but it just was. The flavors, the textures. Just...YUM! The green beans were also fabulous, and I liked that they kept it interesting by three different types. To me the papaya salad was just okay. I love green papaya salad, and I think this one was a little light on the citrus maybe? Something just didn't balance for me, but it was good enough. I'd probably skip it and get the little gems next time. My daughter says it's way better. For cocktails, we chose the Heaven's Shore and The Sun and the Moon. I'm not really a sweet cocktail drinker, and these were sweet, but somehow it worked. I had the Heavens Shore, which I liked a bit more, but I loved how ginger-forward the Sun and moon was too. I would've ordered a few other things, but my daughter is vegan so we tried to order mostly vegan to do family style. Speaking of vegan, they have a vegan menu too. Pretty cool. So good.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!

    Serious attitude here. The cocktails were very tasty but the service and vibe were so off-putting,…read moreI will never go back. I made a reservation in person more than 24 hours in advance. I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.
