A group of us at the hospital ordered some late night take out from tig's... and it definitely hit the spot! Lemme tell yall, it smelled SO good, I hella forgot to take pics of everything before digging in lol. We got two orders of wings, an order of the butter garlic boneless chicken, rose tteokbokki, and macaroni cheese bites. My favorites were definitely the sweet&spicy chicken wings + rose tteokbokki. Just remember: it's a college spot + late night grindz, so as long as you set your expectations accordingly, you'll for sure leave satisfied. read more

Good food in addition to the bar. I get the rose tteokbokki and the mac and cheese bites. The wings and fries are also a good snack late at night. It has loud music and dimmed lights with a good amount of people at tables and the bar area. read more

Tig Kitchen and Bar - Rose Tteok-Bokki - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pretty average place to go out and drink with friends at night. I honestly really love the food more than the drinks. I've gotten their corn cheese, so teok-so teok, chicken wings, and cheese balls and they are pretty good to pair with drinks. However, I dislike how Tigs shows multiple screens with kpop mvs but they don't even play the music on the screens. The workers just play their own music, which is fine but if you're going to be showing mvs of other songs why not play the music? I only go to Tigs when I don't want to go to Capitol Hill for a night out so Tigs is the closest place to drink at. If you are in the U District area and want to drink nearby go to Tigs. read more

I came here for a late dinner on a Saturday around 9pm. It wasn't packed but there were a decent amount of people eating. We got a bunch of different dishes, including kimchi fried rice, tteokbokki, chicken, and cheese rolled egg omelet. My personal favorite was the kimchi fried rice. Overall everything tasted okay, but wasn't super good or that special. Tigs is open late, so I feel like it's probably more of a place to grab some late night food and drinks. I didn't opt to try any of the alcoholic drinks but they looked pretty solid. We had a huge party of 16 and a bit of a complicated order where we split into two separate orders, so props to the staff for dealing with us. They were pretty friendly and accommodating. I wish they had better ventilation in the restaurant though, cause my clothes smelled a lot when I left. read more

Casual, chill vibes. Friendly staff and service. Downside is that it's further up on the ave. Solid food but even better when drinking. So Maek Tower - I'm not a big beer guy but I'll drink it. Overwhelming beer taste but it's definitely strong. Probably served around 6-8 cups. Sweet and Spicy Chicken - we were starving and demolished this so I snagged a pic halfway through. These were some pretty fat pieces of chicken so lots of meat to work with. Juicy and tender as well. Honestly, they might be contenders for top wings on the ave though it's hard to say. Pork Kimchi Tofu - a little bit of everything, there's a blend of textures and flavors to hit every taste bud. Spicy or mild, soft or chewy, you'll feel a bit healthy ordering this. Probably tasted even better being buzzed but it's also good food in the system to handle alcohol better. read more

Love to come here on weekdays or weekends. Great atmosphere and music. The food is perfect with their yakult soju. Shout out to the bartender, Yung was very nice and gave great recommendations. Provided attentive service and created a warm atmosphere. read more

The dishes are good and the service isn't bad, but it left something to be desired. Open late tho, so I'll probably be back. read more

Note that Tig IS OPEN at FULL DINE-IN CAPACITY and for TAKEOUT! My friends and I came here Monday evening, the hottest day ever recorded in Seattle, for some cold drinks and late night snacks. The five of us had originally planned at meeting at Earls, but Earls was closed due to the extreme heat. While this place didn't have A/C, we all had a great experience and are glad that we found a new place to hang out on The Ave. Tig has about 10-12 tables plus a bar area which I don't think was open for seating. It's fairly dark and they have multiple TV screens that constantly play K-Pop music videos. The music isn't super loud though, so you can definitely still have a conversation with the people around you! My one comment is that the floors are fairly sticky, but I guess that goes for any bar on The Ave. We started off with one round of B-52 shots (kahlua, amaretto, and Malibu I think set on fire) ($9 each), and one soju beer tower. As far as food, we ordered one plate of the spicy pork belly and one whole Korean fried garlic and pepper chicken to share. We also ordered a pitcher of Rainier later on in the night to cool our mouths down from the chicken. Tig also offers unlimited complimentary Kirkland water bottles for guests. The B-52 shots were good and definitely a fun experience. The shots were very sweet (due to the kahlua and amaretto) and tasted like dessert in a glass. When lit on fire, they looked like tea candles! The soju beer tower was smooth and sweeter than regular beer. It has Hite soju mixed with I think rainier. We were able to get 7 servings out of the tower. Food was also very good. The spicy pork belly was spicy, but not overly spicy. It was stir fried with mushrooms and onions and came with a side of rice. If you come here though, you MUST order the Korean Garlic Pepper Fried Chicken!!!! I don't even usually like fried chicken, but this was THE BEST fried chicken I've ever had. The whole chicken was more than enough for the five of us and the sixteen pieces were HUGE (sorry Chi Mac, but wings don't cut it for me). The garlic pepper chicken was crispy and had a sweet and spicy garlic honey sauce which was to die for. Service was good considering there was only one hostess/waitress for the entire restaurant during our stay. The poor waitress never got a break and was constantly on her feet taking orders and serving guests. I think there was also limited kitchen staff as well because when we tried to order a round of Lychee shots, she said it would take a very long time and so we got the pitcher of Rainier instead. She was very sweet and informative though so make sure to leave her a generous tip if you go! Overall: 5/5 for food/drinks, 4.5/5 for service, 4.5/5 for atmosphere read more

Sean is one of the best servers I've ever had at any of the bars I been to. His service was a 10/10 even a 12/10 if it went that high. I'll come back to this again because of him read more

It was coo, I rather cook at home. Not worth it maybe for some drinks but definitely not the food.

Once in a blue moon. My friends and I will randomly come here to satisfy our food craving. It was freaking packed in here when we went and busy as hell but manage to snag a table for 5 by annoying the staff. There were so many tables and so few staff. Foods okay as it is still a bar. I really enjoyed the creamy seafood udon, had a good garlic flavor. Corn cheese is a must and my friends were surprised by how small it was, they said it use to be bigger in portion but I didn't mind. Just had to order two. They also ordered two kinds of wings. I only ate the black pepper and garlic and that was pretty good. Didn't try the cream onion cus the sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. The staff helping us was nice, we also understand it was really loud and busy so couldn't really say anything negative in terms of his service. He did what he could. Probably won't come here on a weekend again haha. read more

Review based on drinks alone One of my friends (name starts with an L) recommended me this place as she frequently comes here often and apparently knows the owner. They have a very large selection of drinks and shots, with some that are quite unique! I personally got the B-52 shot which lights on fire which is super cool. It's quite sweet but it gets more and more bitter and stronger alcohol-wise which would've been better the other way around. Regardless, for a shot, I really enjoyed it. They give you a straw to drink maybe because the drink can get quite hot after you blow out the fire. My other friends got some cocktails and enjoyed it, and they are pretty affordable compared to a standard restaurant cocktail. It is definitely a great place to drink, on a student budget. read more

Tig Kitchen and Bar - B-52 shot - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My friends and I are huge fans of Tig! This is a go-to spot for us when we're looking for both good food and a fun night out. Starting with the food, very enjoyable. A lot of modern Korean comfort foods like Korean fried chicken and tteokbokki. There isn't a huge amount of options but the ones they do have are pretty good. They're more meant for sharing/family style as less for individuals I think. Onto the drinks, this is their speciality! They have a TON of Korean drink options and I was loving it. Soju cocktails, somac towers, and an awesome variety of mixed drinks and shots. We ordered so many different types of drinks (honestly it was ridiculous), but we enjoyed each and every drink we ordered. No misses here! We were here long enough last night that we experienced both ambiances of Tig. During dinner time it's a pretty chill vibe enjoying good Korean food and listening to kpop while you can still hear your friends. Once it hits 9-10, it gets pretty rowdy though as the young college crowd comes through. Overall, a great spot for all the vibes you'd want during a fun night out. read more

The food was terrible as takeout. We got the Sotteok Sotteok and Rose Tteokbokki last weekend. The rose tteokbokki sauce tasted like nothing. We tried to save the dish by adding 3-4 tablespoons of gochujang but even then it wasn't salvaged. I don't recommend this spot for takeout! Only for dine in and drinks. read more

if you love being around drunk people and/or being drunk yourself and korean food, then this is a place for you! i came friday midnight and the place was packed and loud! i witnessed a lot 3 tables spill their drinks! lmao! anyways, back to the food. the portions were huge. - spicy rice cake: 4/5 it was SPICY. weird addition of a hash brown but not complaining - corn cheese: 5/5 it was covered in layers and layers of cheese! love! - spicy seafood soup: 3/5 low score for the teeny tiny shrimps, squid, and mussels.. some of the mussels tasted old? food came out fast :-) read more

solid 4 stars tldr; (mostly) delicious food, great alc, slow but friendly service :) I've visited tig a few times over the course of the past year - it was a favorite for me and my friends at one point. we always get the sweet potato fries, chicken, somaek tower, and yakult soju ! All are really great. The fries are perfectly sweet and crunchy, and so is the chicken. they also provide water and the appropriate shot glasses for each beverage. Some nights, the glasses are chilled which is even better. On a recently visit, my friends and I branched out to get the fried chicken gizzard and the sotteok (rice cake + sausage) The chicken gizzard was actually quite delicious, but the sotteok was really underwhelming. The rice cake was under cooked + the sausage is not the type of sausage typically used in sotteok back in Korea :/ We still really enjoyed the evening! Lastly, service is a bit slow most days because it's super busy, but everyone is very friendly and kind :) read more

The buttered octopus was yummy with the house sauce. The chicken gizzard was a bit over fried and too chewy. The server/bartender was friendly. The music was good but not too loud. I enjoyed their soju cocktails that's shareable. Overall a good time. read more

Visited Tig's with my friends to celebrate my 21st! We really enjoyed the vibes and the drinks and would definitely come again. We ordered the Yogurt soju cocktail and the soju + beer tower. Both were great! Note there is no AC, so it did get pretty warm. Staff were friendly and there were plastic guards between tables. Overall, I really enjoyed it here and would recommend others to visit as well! read more

Came back again on a Friday night, it was jam packed, if you're coming on the weekends come earlier :) read more

Worse food I've had in a while. Ordered LA Galbi with side of brussel sprouts. Meat was not grilled or cooked well, it was more like microwaved leftovers. Rice was hard and crunchy. The kitchen was fermented for so long, it was fizzing and super sour. The brussel sprout was just leaves and clumps of over done garlic cloves. Saddest meal I've ever had. read more

kinda sucked--if this place isn't closed, DEFINITELY go somewhere else! Although it didn't taste like SOAP; the waitress was quite rude and the food was very mediocre. Especially for Seattle, this place is at the bottom (absolute bottom) of the list. Got sweet and sour kfc: it was ok, pretty dry and flavourless. Felt like I was being judged my the waitress the whole time. Soju tasted super diluted. Definitely not worth your money. Just buy Buldak chicken ramen and eat it at home at this rate, cheaper and tastier. :) Go to somewhere worth your money! read more

Came here on a Friday night looking for a table for 4. Waited two hours and still did not get seated yet. The servers skipped our name on the waitlist and we had to call them out to seat us. Not only that but after we got seated, the wait for food was another hour. We left the restaurant at that point. Waste of a night and the bartenders barely acknowledge you. Music was good but the service was horrible. read more

I love hanging out here! I usually just roll in with a small group and we share somac towers. It has a very nice vibe and everyone is really nice Only complaint is the audio isn't synced with the TV's read more

Tig Kitchen and Bar - Soju + beer = 5 star review - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I LOVE TIG!! I've been here 5 times now, and it's been so consistently good every time!! The owner/ bartender is so, so nice and friendly. My favs here are the: - UFO Kimchi Fried Rice: super flavorful and the egg makes it so, good - Butter Garlic Chicken: super crispy and the flavor doesn't get tiring - Corn Cheese: best corn cheese in Seattle, super good corn flavor and the cheese is good and pully - Pink Lychee Lemonade - Green Light - Yogurt soju cocktail The energy, music, and vibes are *chefs kiss* read more

Last night my friend & I went to discuss some things over some drinks at Tigs. Along with our drinks we ordered a side of Korean Sesame Chicken. Being presented with the fried chicken, cooked with tomato sauce, gochujang (Korean chili paste), honey, soy sauce, & garnished with sesame seeds, I could tell it was cooked to perfection. The lighting of the bar also really brought out the already red color the chicken was presenting itself with. Biting into the chicken, feeling the crunch of the skin while the juices from the perfectly white meat oozes into my mouth, as well as the yogurt soju running through my blood, it felt like my veins was coursing with the power of youth. The only disappointing thing about this meal was the fact I had to share it with my friend. read more

I haven't been used to seeing this many people in a really long time. From what I gather this is a new Korean bar. I came to pick up some Korean fried chicken takeout. Like any good KFC it takes longer than you expect from the time the DoorDash order went in....I stood at the entrance for a while sort of awkwardly in the way of all the partying patrons, waltzing about as if Covid didn't exist. Lots of plastic up between tables, but I'm just not used to this many people and this much volume quite yet. The lighting is dark and the music is loud, I bet it'll be a really happening place when the pandemic is over. For now, please keep your masks on! Thank you. read more

I went here on a Saturday night with friends. I will not be back.. overall, the food was not good (and expensive compared to other places serving similar food) and they got our order wrong. We got a few beers, soju, kimchi fried rice omelette, chicken wings, and bacon cheese fries. The chicken were average - you get 7 pieces. We got spicy sauce to dip on the side which made it taste better. Instead of the omelette that we ordered, we got kimchi fried rice with two eggs on top and realized too late that it was the wrong thing to change our order (we had taken a few bites). The sauce was extremely salty and sour, and there was too much of it. It was disgusting. I had never had kimchi fried rice like this before and I've eaten many kimchi fried rice dishes (even made my own). The bacon cheese fries were at least pretty good and came in a large portion that was good for sharing. They played old school r&b and hip-hop music which was cool, with a projector showing Korean music videos. read more

Anyone remember the good ol' Tig back in the Pioneer Square days? Personally, for me, I miss that location and was pretty excited to hear how this place relocated to U-District. Situated at the far end of the Ave, the new version of Tig is much more bigger and spacious. With the recent remodel, there is much more tables/chairs for the dining aspect and I definitely dig the low key lounge feel with the dim lighting and such. For my large group of friends (10+), I felt that the staff did a great job in checking in on us. Wait time for food wasn't too bad and overall, had a pretty pleasant time here. Overall, if you're looking for a place that can easily accommodate large parties and want a low key place for drinking soju, I would suggest swinging by Tig for the pregame :) read more

Don't even waste your time going here. All my food cost $36 and wasn't even worth it! All the chicken was undercooked and completely pink inside, AND there was no sausage in the cheese and sausage balls, AND the gizzards were hard and dry af and the portion was small af, didn't even finish! Literally go anywhere else or even just make the damn food yourself, at least then you probably won't get salmonella waste of money and time! read more

Quite surprised by the overall poor rating, been here several times and always enjoyed the food. Would recommend the kimchi pork belly with tofu and fried chicken. read more

Their drinks and food are pretty overpriced and the portions are small. On weekday nights, the interior feels dark and almost lonely, it's almost always vacant and even the servers don't feel the need to welcome you. The ambience is alright, albeit not lively at all and more intimate for conversations than to have fun. They play hip-hop in the background and have a projector displaying kpop music videos. read more

really good fries and their yogurt soju was delicious! the service was fine, but i had a great time with my friends and they had some good music here and there. read more

The service was so shitty. They rejected us from going in when what they did doesn't match what they wrote on the rules at all. Our friend who was traveling from another country wanted to have fun with us so we brought him to Tig. They rejected him because he didn't have a U.S government ID (he had Taiwanese ID which has his name and birthday and picture on it). Besides, their paper that was put on their front desk clearly says that only "Fridays & Saturdays IDs are required." We came there on Thursday. And when we were confused by their policy, we tried to talk this through and figure out why their behavior didn't match their written policies or if that was against any foreign visitors, they kept mumbling about the reasonings and just said the policies changed on Thursdays now without justifying much. They rejected our request on talking to a manager. The whole time we were being calm and just wanted to figure it out and didn't want to fight or anything. The girl waitress just came in and escalated the whole issue by having a shitty attitude and threatened us if we didn't leave they were calling the cops. WTF? She acted like we were the problems when their policies didn't make sense AT ALL. We used to be their regulars before this time, but after this, we'll never come back again. Do better, Tig! read more

Went in for wings and fries one night. My food came out in a decent amount of time and the wings were crispy and juicy. 10/10

Great place to hangout with friends and enjoy soju! They also have pretty good cocktail. Always coming back here.

Had a late night craving of korean fried chicken. Got the garlic and pepper half chicken and it did not disappoint. Definitely will be back!

I went to tig on a friday night and it was so fun! their service is really good and there is decent social distancing! The fried chicken was solid and the drinks were really good as well! read more

I don't normally give two-stars to a local restaurant, but WOW. Tig truly deserves a two-star review. When I walked in on a Thursday night, NO ONE greeted me at the door nor recognized us for at least 10 minutes. There was a special board hanging near the window and that was the only thing that caught my eyes. After I got sat down, I ordered cheese ttukpokkk and soju. The server looked intimidated the whole time when I was ordering. I was okay until at this point. But when the server brought food and threw the food at the table? Okay dude. What the heck. Food was mediocre, too spicy and I would never get this item again. I was so disappointed that I brought my friend here and wouldn't come back. Tig, step up and train your employees. read more

Tig is kind of an interesting spot...I like that it has Korean drinks and bar food, which is pretty good but definitely overpriced. Their korean-style fried chicken (in kind of a gochujang-based sauce) is yummy, but shouldn't cost as much as it does. The yogurt soju was an easy drink, but came in a leaky bottle. The vibes are kind of weird, but on the bright side, the server we interacted with was really friendly. read more
