    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.

    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!!

    Me and my partner really enjoy this place! The food is delicious, the service is attentive and don't hover. The restaurant is small but the food makes it worth it.

    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.

    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!

    1 piece from the spicy tuna over crispy rice.

    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.

    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.

    Crispy eggplant special
    Aanchal K.

    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!

    Sushi 23

    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!

    Edamame dumplings ! Always get your own order trust me !
    Mich R.

    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

    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!

    I noticed that there are two options on resy for sushi bar and sushi bar seat. Does anyone know what the difference is?

    Hello Christopher, there is no difference - both options are for the sushi bar ! Thank you for letting us know, there must be a glitch on Resy.
