We absolutely love coming to Tiga, the food and the service is always nothing short of fantastic. They always have something new, creative, and tasty on their special menu and their menu staples are always made fresh and consistently. The charred edamame, the Sugar Mountain, and the Grand Wazoo are must tries - but honestly, anything you get off this menu will rock your socks. Love this place! read more

Soooo disappointed in this place. Why cheap out on takeout containers??! Fair warning: Never ever order takeout from Tiga. I do takeout a lot, and we order Japanese very frequently. But I've never ever encountered what I got from Tiga... even from far cheaper restaurants. Last year, I ordered 3 special rolls and excitedly picked them up. When I opened the package later, it appeared that they decided to squish all 3 of our rolls into one single plastic takeout container. So instead of each of us being able to enjoy the roll that we chose, we had to "share", dig from one container, with no other plates to use. Not only that, they squished the rolls so tightly together that the rice of the 3 rolls got stuck together, and the sauces of got mixed up. So as we tried to get our own rolls out to eat, it soon became like one container of fried rice - except it wasn't fried - just a mess of rice with toppings. For rolls that cost $20+ each, don't you think that each of the 3 of us deserved our own container to eat from? We were 3 colleagues who did not wish to eat out of one single bowl. I'm flabbergasted by Tiga. read more

My meal at tiga was delicious of course, but the tight loud ambiance made it tough to enjoy. This spot is good for a date night. The service was very nice and friendly and happy to walk us through the menu. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious. I have heard that they are moving to a larger space - where I am sure the business will boom! read more

I've tried to walk in three separate times, but they were always fully booked. Therefore, you should definitely make a reservation if you want to eat here. Once we finally got in, the service was fantastic. One thing that really stood out was when a passing server showed us another table's dish to highlight the specials. I thought that was unique, and honestly, it worked. I ended up ordering one of those dishes because it looked too good to pass up. We ordered several dishes, which they brought out gradually so we could savor them one by one. Here's what we tried: 1. Foxy Lady 2. Beef and White Truffle Dumplings - hands down the best dumplings I've ever had, unlike anything I've seen before. 3. Killer Queen (specials menu) 4. Grand Wazzoo 5. Just Like A Woman Every single dish was delicious. It's the first time I've eaten sushi without touching the soy sauce. The presentation and creativity were next level. This is easily the most unique sushi place I've ever been to. read more

I was lucky to get a high top table for 2 on a Saturday last night to try Tiga. I will say that the high top tables are small so could be a little uncomfortable. The restaurant itself was cozy and intimate - it kind of gives you a NYC restaurant kind of vibe which was nice to see on Long Island. I would note that it was freezing out and all the cold air came in when the front door opened. This made it very uncomfortable - I wonder how it is when it's really hot outside. Also, because it is a small restaurant, noise levels could be elevated. Spicy dumpling soup - very good but dumpling had no flavor. Probably store bought. Fluke carpaccio - very good. Some shrimp appetizer - shrimp was small and sauce was almost like a curry sauce. I would pass. Sushi platter - very good. Nigiris are pretty small. This won't fill you up. Grand wazoo roll - this was okay, torched squid was a little tough. Isn't she lovely roll - this was okay. Steak with potatoes and brussels sprouts - not much steak but very tender. Brussels sprouts were nicely cooked. Overall, a good experience especially with the service being top notch. While sitting on the high top worked, it took away from the experience. I would get a regular table or sit at the sushi bar. We were also distracted from the cold air coming in that my wife had to wear her coat. If you like a modern take on sushi, I think you would like this place but if you're looking for something more traditional, I would look elsewhere. read more

My wife and I went on a date here earlier in the month and have been thinking and talking about it ever since. So we are going back tonight. The food here is incredible, and that is including the complementary popcorn on your table as soon as you sit down. We shared the Foxy Lady Roll, Edamame dumplings, crispy rice with spicy tuna, spicy dumpling soup (they even split it into 2 small bowls for us), a specialty roll & lycheetinis. The one thing I'd say to skip is the crispy rice with spicy tuna because the outside of it is too hard and the rice inside too thick. Otherwise, everything else was perfection. The foxy lady roll especially stood out. We cannot wait to go back. Definitely added to our favorites list!! read more

Great good but very noisy. Service, impeccable. We did not have reservations, last minute recommendation by friend. Excellent fresh quality seafood, a bit pricey but expected in this area. I would be back again. read more

We had a very disappointing experience here. From the moment we arrived, and walked through the shower curtain entrance, the staff spoke to us in an incredibly condescending way -- as if we were an inconvenience rather than customers. Simple questions were met with eye-rolling and curt answers, and the overall tone made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. There are plenty of restaurants in the area that value their customers -- I'd highly recommend choosing one of them instead. PS. I was generous with a 1 star rating. read more

Excellent variety of dishes. We've enjoyed coming here each time. The sushi rolls are different than other places. If you don't like the sweet fruity sauces on sushi rolls, I would ask to serve it on the side or ask to omit it. They're great even without it. read more

TLDR: Quaint little neighborhood sushi restaurant. Small place so make a reservation. Spicy Dumpling Soup, Toro/Ikura Roll, Grand Wazoo and JUNGLE LOVE. I'm not sure how we ended up here but we came in for a Friday night. A few locals recommended it but I was pretty skeptical to be honest. The menu just read like something I don't care for but figured let's try it out. It's small but dark and cool for a local date around town. We tried the cocktails, both had yuzu and they were pretty solid. The Spicy Dumpling Soup was very flavorful, kind of reminded me of instant noodle soup base with dumplings but not in a bad way - it was tasty. Truffle fries and yogurt were solid. Spicy tuna crispy rice was standard. Toro/ikura roll. The ingredients do the heavy lifting but this was great. Fatty, nice pops of salty brinyness from the roe, not too much rice. Grand Wazoo. Spicy scallop, torched squid? Very interesting and very delicious. Jungle Love. I don't know what this was supposed to be. An obscure list of ingredients but this thing was TASTY. Shrimp, avocado, goat cheese, brussel sprouts, imitation crab, tuna. As strange as this sounds - this baby slapped. Most memorable bites of the night. I went in doubtful and left knowing I'll be back. Cheers. read more

Got take out from here and was very impressed. Sushi was fresh and the cooked dishes were very good. We stuck mostly to the sushi dishes and had a lot of success. Sansoku was very good, nice mix of good quality sushi nigiri and a roll. My wife had the sashimi dinner and loved it. Also liked the. Vegetable rolls. While we did not eat in I did go to pick up our food and the decor was very nice and, while small, the place was busy and had a nice atmosphere. read more

If I could give this place ten stars, I would. This is absolutely elite sushi. Nothing compares. It's all hand crafted and you can taste and see the care, effort, and intention that goes into each piece. Our waitress had incredible recommendations and guidance with the menu, and we could tell she was so passionate about the food/ restaurant. It's small inside and you need a res, but it's a cool atmosphere and looked cool to sit at the sushi bar. Best spicy tuna crispy rice I've ever had- perfectly crispy on all sides, delicious blend of sauces. The edamame dumplings were almost an Italian fusion- with parm and truffle- they were delish. Only complaint was I wish there were more on the plate! All of the fish was insanely good quality. I'm dying to go back and think about it every day now. What an INCREDIBLE spot. Truly, kuddos to the owners/ chefs and whole staff. The food left me speechless, but clearly I still have a lot of great things to say! read more

Second time back, it was phenomenal and on short notice. You cannot come here on a Saturday night without a reservation. Even if you don't mind sitting at the sushi bar or a high top reservations are usually a must! Well guess what? The manager Linda was super accommodating and I was able to get a table. Absolutely worth the trip from anywhere. What can I say...they have great food, has a great vibe, calming decor, eclectic, great staff, awesome team work and everything just falls together well. The owners are working not just investors or observers. The food is prepared with love and everything tastes super fresh which is critical with doors. We had a number of dishes, 1 repeat from last time which was the special sashimi salad. My favorite dish so far was the BBQ ribs in a plumb sauce which was a meal in itself, filling and very inexpensive. Everything we ordered was under $20 and was shared. We also had the edamame dumplings, the Big Mac roll and the Grand Wazoo roll. The food is amazing, the crowd was great and it's a great place to hang. I strongly recommend Tiga as one of the best spots in New York to eat. read more

Found this place based on the growing high rated reviews. There's a few sushi spots on this block alone but Tiga seems to do really well despite their small space. Definitely recommend making a reservation. The bar is the best seat in the house to watch 4-5 chefs work their magic. Started off with the spicy tuna over crispy rice. Rice beds were cooked to crispy perfection, the tuna was so fresh and I like that they chop it instead of just throwing a piece on like most places. You can tell the chefs work really hard and master their craft with every dish they put out. At one point I think my date was hypnotized at every movement they made. About a 1/4 way through our meal, still working on the appetizer, I noticed the bar was empty. I politely asked if my date and I can move to the bar, she said they are reserved. 1 couple came in and there was still 2 seats left. They never filled those seats and we were forced to sit against the wall feeling squished and tight for the rest of our meal. That's the only reason why I gave 1 less star. Our waitress was super nice and pleasant. Seemed a little overwhelmed at times but was still attentive. I will definitely come back as our 2 signature rolls were so amazingly delicious. Didn't get to try any hot food or other appetizers but will definitely be back because the sushi is so fresh and delicious. read more

Loved this place - but giving it 4 stars because I expected more in terms of seating and ambiance and cocktails. There's no cocktail menu except a few with soju/sake... and they're $18 where as a bottle of wine is $45+ so if you're with drinkers or more than one person, the wine may be the cost friendly option. It's a dark rustic looking spot - if I didn't see the sushi counter I'd assume it's a small spot in Brooklyn... almost looks like a bar. Anyways - the food here was incredible. Port Washington is local yet a trek cause it's not conveniently off a highway. The uni here was the best I've ever had and sourced from Japan - you can tell by the taste and texture. We had toro nigiri which was wow, a special roll which I forgot but was wow, the crispy eggplant special which was nice and different The crispy rice which was great, edamame as well and the star of the show - the Uni and Toro Sundae! read more

Tiga - Crispy eggplant special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Port Washington, New York

Came here based on a recommendation from a Long island local. I have to say, Tiga is a solid spot for fresh sushi! I booked a reservation through Resy easily for 6:30PM on a Friday and it was packed when I got there. We get seated promptly. The place is small but it felt cozy. My friend and I ordered two pieces (sushi) of toro topped with uni. It literally MELTED in our mouths! It was $25 a piece and I felt that it was worth the price tag. The uni was undoubtedly fresh and creamy. We also ordered the Grandwazoo which consists of spicy scallop, avocado, torched squid, lime zest, tobiko, and it had some crunch to it! It had a unique flavor and my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We also ordered "Sushi 23" which had 7 pcs of nigiri and spicy yellowtail roll. The spicy yellowtail roll had a nice kick to it and did not taste like your average yellow tail roll! It was a nice surprise. The 7 pcs of nigiri were all different, but in a good way. I appreciated the fact our server asked beforehand if we had any fish preference that we did not like. The only thing that made this 4 stars instead of 5 was the brussels sprouts appetizer. We loved the ikura that was sprinkled throughout the dish and the flavor was all there. However, it was drowned with too much sauce that it became too salty and the brussels sprouts ended up becoming soggy. I think I would have preferred it if the sauce was on the side instead. Nonetheless, the sushi was memorable and was the reason why I came. I would definitely come back again to try more of their dishes! read more

The service here was unacceptable. We were seated directly in front of the AC unit and it was freezing. We asked them to turn it down twice and they failed to do so. We called to make a reservation for three people, the hostess initially said no, but then proceeded to offer us a high top table. As this was our first time hearing about the restaurant or attempting to make a reservation, we accepted the high top, not knowing the size. this table could BARELY fit two people, including food and drinks. We were forced to use the staff countertop next to us as part of our table. They failed to apologize for these accommodations, recognize that this was unacceptable, or offer to move us. In regards to the food, they forgot to leave the complementary popcorn appetizer at our table. We had to request it halfway into the meal before they realized that they forgot it. The food itself was good but was not worth the price or experience that we had dining here. Non accommodating staff, I expected better from a place like this. Many other upscale places in Roslyn are better value and service. read more

I'm so happy I found Tiga. As someone who has been to many sushi restaurants and thoroughly enjoys some good sushi, I can say that Tiga is my favorite spot on Long Island for some yummy fresh sushi. Some of my absolute favs are the edamame dumplings (A MUST), crispy tuna rice, the fluke carpaccio, sugar mountain roll ( A MUST), and the Jane roll. Edamame dumplings are a perfect balance of savory and acidic, literally melt in your mouth. The sugar mountain roll is hands down my favorite roll, the flavors are so unique and it's a burst of flavor in your mouth with each bite. Service is awesome, they always have interesting and fresh specials of the day & we always leave excited to come back next time. The restaurant itself is a pretty small and intimate setting, perfect for a date night or casual dinner with friend. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Great food! Was our first time wont be our last. Loved the salmon carpaccio, the rolls and the seared Scottish salmon sushi!

I have this a lot and the rice was too dense and crunchy read more

This is my spot. I go here once a week. Everything is amazing and mostly stick to the sushi and not the hot food. Service is always excellent. Always the same servers and faces they already know what I want. Very cute place it's like home to me. I choose to sit at the bar because the seats in the dining room are not entirely comfortable. For some reason I slide down on them. Maybe it's the food coma haha. I love watching the guys at the bar everything so intricate tasty fantastic every time I go I can't wait to go back . I hope they put a piece of my heart roll on the menu permanently. Please tiga love you read more

Delicious every time! Whether we eaten, or take it out. The only thing I would say is that it's very small, so it's hard to get seating at times. The dumpling soup is one of my favorite things, and we could sometimes just order that to bring home. The rolls are amazing. The sweet Jane is my absolute favorite to the point where I sometimes even crave it. I hope it lasts a long time Port definite hotspot. Definitely for a reason. read more

Tiga is truly beautiful experience a little on the salty side especially the warm mushroom salad and the steak, but still yummy. Open 4-years but just discovered on my daughter's birthday dinner celebration. Go with the special menu for - too pretty to eat - seasoned sashimi liberally sprinkled with tiny flower patels, micro greens, herbs, etc on beautiful ceramics. Some things needed to be washed better but the waitress more than made up by being friendly, helpful and very accommodating. My daughter loved the complimentary birthday lavender oil ice cream. Thank you for a memorable meal, we will be back. Yes, we definitely recommend to all! read more

The cold dishes are what I would come back for! The Fluke Carpaccio and the Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapenos were my favorite! We also ordered the Scottish Salmon and the Spicy Scallops. The Scottish Salmon, while good, pales in comparison to the first two, and the Spicy Scallops, I would not order again. The Cold Smoked Yellowtail and the Shoyu Marinated Ikura were also delightful. We ordered both pieces as sashimi, and if I were to do it all over again, I would order the Ikura as a roll instead. The spicy dumpling soup was a little too salty for my liking, and the dumplings were lackluster. The mushrooms were great. The Sansoku, the sushi rice in the roll was too mushy. The tuna wasn't the freshest. I would not order again. The Grandwazoo was drenched in, I think, spicy mayo. I would have preferred the spicy mayo on the side, or maybe only a quarter of what they used. read more

I've come to Tiga multiple times and can say that the food is excellent. Fresh fish, interesting flavors, and unique combinations. However, my review is not based on the food but the service that I had experienced tonight. My servers name was Jennifer and was by far one of the best servers i've ever had. I've been a part of the restaurant industry for a long time and could only hope to work next to someone like her. She was quick, caring, and a joy to be around. I am a firm believer that a restaurant is only as good as the people working there. Even though I already planned to come back to Tiga again and again for the food, I'll return endlessly for the service. (Everyone who worked there is wonderful, Jennifer was the only person I got by name). read more

Tiga - what a gem!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Port Washington, New York

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Every dish here left me in awe and it was truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! From the service, ambiance, to food - everything was exemplary and I 1000% recommend this restaurant. My friend made reservations at 5pm (their opening time for dinner hours) and upon opening, there was already a line of people waiting to get in! You know the food's good once you see people waiting. Upon seating, our waitress was amazing. She was attentive to our needs and extremely informative with answering our questions with the menu selection. The ambiance stood out to me because of the interior decorations. The restaurant has a combination of rustic and modern vibes with the exposed brick and wood. Definitely a great spot for a romantic date! As for the food - W O W. The quality of every dish was impeccable and I don't think I've ever tasted anything so great. Here's the catch - I normally can't tolerate raw fish because of the sliminess but Tiga does an exemplary job of removing that fishy, slimy taste from their raw fish. Tiga is not your typical sushi restaurant, but rather they take the ideas of traditional sushi and throw in their own innovative signature to their fish. There was yuzu and truffle oil on every fish we tried, and that complemented the fish very well. Every fish we had tasted fresh and it melted in my mouth. Every dish we ordered exceeded my expectations, but the ones that stood out to me most were: scottish salmon appetizer (order rice with it and pour the oil on it!), foxy lady (the truffle miso sauce is HEAVENLY), and lastly all of the nigiri pieces. Tiga left a mark on my heart and the food here really set a bar for my expectations on fish! Thank you Tiga for such an amazing experience. read more

I really love the food at Tiga, it's one of my favorites restaurants. It's a small business so you have to go with the flow how they do things and how they run their restaurant so if you can get past that I would highly recommend! read more

Some of my friends have raved about this place being one of the best fusion sushi restaurants they've tried and decided to bring me here for a celebratory dinner. We live south of Brooklyn but I was told that this trip is worth it because it's just THAT good so I definitely came in with some high expectations. Upon entering the restaurant I was presented with a hip and rustic vibe with the inclusion of some neo-Japanese art pieces on the wall which I think definitely matched the type of food that was being served here. Also wanted to give a shout-out to the waitress here who was always very attentive to our needs despite how busy and packed this place was when we arrived. Our party of 4 decided to order a variety of different sashimi pieces and specialty rolls. I would say the fluke carpaccio and the foxy lady roll stood out to me most. I loved the yuzu citrus flavors paired with the thinly sliced fluke and the truffle miso sauce from the foxy lady roll was unforgettable. I loved that the foxy lady roll used radish instead of rice to add a light contrast in textures for each piece. The Scottish salmon was also very good with the soy vinaigrette that it was dressed in. The salmon had a perfect amount of fattiness and was garnished with crispy capers and tea rice, which once again was a great addition for a contrast in textures. What I've noticed about each menu item here is how well balanced the flavors are, with a focus on variety of textures. There was also an emphasis on truffle and yuzu flavors which I am a huge fan of (truffle is the first thing you smell when you walk in this place). We ended the night with some mochi ice cream and I would definitely have to recommend the ube and espresso flavors. I would say Tiga was definitely worth the trip and I would definitely come here again for a special night. read more

Best sushi on Long Island! Fish is fresh, rolls are innovative, appetizers are tasty and the service is incredible. When you sit down, they serve you popcorn with truffle salt to start and then the menu has extensive appetizer and roll options. I usually get the Scarlet Begonia roll, which is a soy wrapped roll with many different types of fish on the inside. They have great vegetarian roll options and their brussels sprouts are some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant! There's one waitress there who is incredible and gives the best advice when ordering. Make sure to have a reservation before you go! The restaurant is super tiny and it is a very popular spot. read more

This was a unique experience and definitely worth a try. That being said, the food was a bit on the salty side and I had a hard time finishing the food because of that. It was a nice dinner but it probably isn't something I would try again. There is a little bit of everything for everyone on the menu, even those who do not eat sushi or raw fish. The restaurant itself was pretty nice and spacious. I did not feel cramped despite it being a small area. Reservations are highly recommended, even on a Wednesday night. There is plenty of street parking around the area and it is free after 6pm. read more

Amazing quality sushi and incredibly nice staff. The rolls are super unique and always a 10/10!

Port Washington has an abundance of Japanese restaurants but Tiga is most definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Tiga is not a traditional Japanese restaurant and falls more along the lines of modern Japanese fusion but regardless, the food is great. The location is pretty small (maybe about 15-20 people tops in pre-pandemic times) but the decor is very modern, casual and clean. The menu here isn't incredibly extensive but what they have is darn good. We started with a few appetizers that did not disappoint. - crispy rice with spicy tuna (excellent and well seasoned), yellowtail with yuzu and jalapeño (fresh and vibrant), soy garlic yuzu wings (crispy with an incredibly succulent sauce) as well as their roasted eggplant special topped with spicy mayo and seafood (perfectly cooked and seasoned). Main courses were also top notch - sashimi was very fresh, sansoku plate was delicious, Chilean seabass was cooked to perfection topped with yummy trumpet mushrooms and brussel sprouts and the big mac roll was mouth watering (although they would do better to cut the pieces smaller). Service here was very good - courteous and fast. Prices are comparable to other establishments that serve similar fare in the area. My only tip would be to make a reservation since this place fills up quickly. Definitely a thumbs up. read more

Ordered takeout tonight and it was exceptional! I emailed my order before 3pm and it was ready by 5:30pm. Super easy process. My kids had salmon avocado and avocado rolls - both fresh and tasty. The parents ordered: - Spicy scallop: standard, tasty - Part Time Lover: vegan roll with miso eggplant (so good!), fried sweet potatoes and shiitakes with forbidden/black rice on the outside. Definitely an inventive roll and I appreciate this so much as many restaurants fail to do interesting veg roll options. - Grandwazoo: my second favorite roll; spicy scallop inside and torched squid on the outside. Loved the charred flavor. - Sugar Mountain: didn't love this one, but I guess I'm the minority here. Ordered it cuz of the great reviews. Hubby loved it though. Not a huge fan of yuzu and there were thinly sliced lemons on top - also didn't love that. We also got a gratis cup of sake with the order. Nice touch! Definitely our new go-to sushi place. We're normally taking out from Kotobuki in Roslyn. This place has better sushi, service, and I didn't have to wait forever to pick up. read more
