Visited here with a group of six for the tasting menu! The inside of the restaurant was so beautiful! The night we visited the weather was in the 80s, so all of the doors were opened giving an outside dining experience to the entire restaurant. While it felt nice at the time, the mosquitos unfortunately ate us up. They had a bunch if fun cocktails, my favorite was the tender wing. Refreshing and not too sweet. We ordered the tasting menu which was a pretty good value for the price. Our favorites were the chicken, scallops, and the noodles. The flavors were all just so perfect and we did not have a disappointing bite. The only comments the group did have was the pacing was far too fast - dish after dish came out and we felt like we just couldn't leisurely enjoy dinner because there wasn't room on the table for the next dish. Our dinner was at 9pm, so it's not like they should have been in the middle of the dinner rush to get the next table in. The crab fried rice could have used more crab. And last the portions were pretty underwhelming for a group of six. For example, if I came as a party of two, we likely would have received one fish, one plate of chicken, one plate of beef, one coconut dessert, etc to split between the two of us. Instead it seems like they didn't adjust up for the portion size and had us split three ways instead of two which was a bit disappointing especially for the fish which definitely did not have enough to go between our group. Again the food itself was delicious but there are things they could improve on.

Food is always delicious and packed with flavor and spice! It was really nice going at off hour on a Sunday afternoon, where we could take our time. The setting is also really nice (sufficiently chilled despite having the windows open) and service is solid. Loved every dish we ordered today. I'm also a huge fan of their noodles with oyster mushrooms but didn't have enough room for another dish today. Their cocktails are also delicious and not too sweet.

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.

'Crying Tiger' Grilled Sirloin Steak. $46. Good/above average version of this Isan classic

I went to this moderately fancy, pretty popular Pan-Asian spot with one of my groups a while back, where, as usual, we split a lot of main dishes. They are a sister restaurant to the even fancier Chinese Tuxedo, with a menu that leans primarily towards ASEAN/Southeast Asian countries. The place was slightly loud and somewhat dim for photos, but thankfully, we were in a separate room, so the noise was muffled. The food was overall pretty good, though I prefer some other spots. This is especially given the price point, but it is nice to have solid representations of food from many different countries. To drink, I remember not being in the mood for a cocktail, so I went for the $14 Fiery Forge with Pathfinder hemp spirit, Lyre's Italian orange, pineapple, five spice, and pomelo soda. It had mild spices and a lot of citrus, and it was decent. The first dish that arrived happened to be the best, the $38 Crispy Lamb Ribs with a Cambodian sweet & sour sauce. The ribs were crispy on the outside while remaining very tender inside, with the fat properly cooked as well. I was also happy that they weren't overly sweet either. This was very tasty and one of our easy favorites. The Roasted Duck Breast for $32 with Chinese celery, Thai basil, dragon eye fruit, and plum dressing was also solid. The duck was cooked nicely, being tender with a mildly fatty texture, and the dressing was thankfully not overly sweet. I do wish there was a bit more dragon eye fruit/longan, but it was solid. Also tasty, but the most expensive, was the 'Crying Tiger' Grilled Sirloin Steak for $46 with aromatic herbs, spicy tamarind dressing, and toasted rice. I have had this dish, also known as Suea rong hai, in many Isan/northeastern Thai spots, and this was solid. The steak was cooked nicely, and the dressing had a mild kick, with some roasted chilis for those who want a bit more heat. My only complaint is that I wish this were also served, as per usual, with sticky rice, as it's already a pricey version of this dish, and even cheaper places serve this traditional accompaniment. The Newton Circus Sambal Stingray, for $28, with roasted skate and sambal belachan, was alright. It was comparable to most Malaysian and Singaporean spots serving this dish, though I preferred a slightly stronger sambal at some spots, and the fish was cooked better at others. The portion size was also daintier, although at least we didn't have to deal with the fish bones. For a better version at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Wok Wok nearby, on Mott Street near Confucius Square. Last and least was the Singaporean Chili Crab Fried Rice for $28 with hand-picked Jonah crab and lobster oil. This is famous here, and I don't really see it. I liked the fried rice's seasoning and crunch. However, the sweet chili sauce overpowered whatever little crab there was. For a similar price, I would recommend the nearby Phoenix Palace, which had more crab flavor and was more balanced. The food overall was good. If this were in another neighborhood, I would probably recommend it more, but there are other spots for ASEAN food that are a bit more reasonably priced and of better quality. It's still good, though, and certainly better than many other Pan-Asian places. This would be another 3.5, but that doesn't exist, so I'll round up.

Papaya salad
Jennie A.

We went for dinner on a Friday night, I would give 5 stars for service, 4 stars for the food and 3 stars for the ambiance. We enjoyed almost every dish we ordered, but holy moly was this restaurant LOUD. It was extremely difficult to hear our waitress and we were almost yelling at each other just to be able to communicate across the table. Not exaggerating, my ears actually hurt a bit and were sensitive to noise afterwards. That being said, the restaurant is nicely decorated and huge place albeit warm. They have AC, but they leave the doors open so if you sit in the front of the restaurant itself it is only a little better than sitting outside. The service was great, friendly, attentive and the food came out at a good pace and each course was explained. We ordered from the gluten free menu to accommodate a friend with celiac and honestly I would never know the difference. I was impressed they made a point to tell us what could possibly be cross contaminated with gluten. As a table of four, we ordered the papaya salad, sambal stingray, Singaporean chili crab rice (the crunchy topping has gluten so they put it on the side for us), crying tiger steak, short rib green curry, pad see ew (the tofu was possibly cross contaminated so they also put it on the side), morning glory and mango sticky rice for dessert. The star for me was the short rib green curry though others around the table thought the Singaporean chili crab rice and crying tiger steak were the best and honestly all 3 were excellent. The short rib is served on the bone and was cooked perfectly, soft and fell off the bone, you could cut it with a spoon. The green curry was thick so it stuck to the meat well. It came with thai eggplant (tastes like japanese eggplant) and yams and some green leaves that I think you are not supposed to eat. It was a pretty large serving of short rib which I appreciated and a fairly heavy dish. It was bursting with flavor and I would absolutely give this dish 5 stars. The steak was also cooked perfectly and had nice flavor that complimented the steak rather than overwhelming it. It came with a fresh herb salad and was a decent serving of steak. What I liked about the Singaporean chili crab rice besides the crunchy spicy topping which I could eat on it's own, was that the crab was evenly distributed throughout, so you got crab in each bite. This dish was also a pretty decently sized portion. As for the other dishes, I really enjoyed the sambal stingray although the skate was a bit too soft in terms of texture. Great flavor from the sambal sauce and a medium sized portion, more like a large appetizer or small entree. The morning glory was also good, but tasted different from other Thai places we have had it and was a bit watery. The pad see ew was okay, nothing special. I wanted it to have a bit more flavor, but it is nice to see a noodle dish on the gluten free menu. I didn't particularly enjoy the papaya salad as it just overwhelmingly tasted like vinegar and the mango sticky rice was a huge disappointment. It was not sticky rice at all, just regular white rice and it barely had any fresh mango in it. The mango sorbet is came with was delicious, but the fresh lime zest on top was unnecessary and I ate around it as it ruined the mango flavor. Great place to come if you have allergies and overall pretty good Thai food. Probably better to come during a weekday though so it is less loud.

Water spinach & Crispy Lamb Ribs
MeiMei F.

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
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.

trendy modern Asian fusion spot with fun twists to food! favorite was crab fried rice and crying tyger (the flavor of the meat was delish) but the meat in the other dishes too were great--fall of the bone type of meat!

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

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.

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.
