    Chili Crab Wontons
    Amy N.

    Glad to have tried this Blagden Alley spot a few weeks back. Menu is fairly select, i.e. not extensive necessarily, though finding at least one appealing item in each section was easy. Multiple veg options as well. If you like or don't mind a sweet drink, don't sleep on the peach jelly sake, either! Fun and lively vibe including tables getting seated a bit later (as in, after 9), when a lot of spots seem to clear out after 10pm.

    Pork belly
    Alexis T.

    The location is a bit in the cut with a very heavy door. The service was prompt and the venue has very nice ambiance. Cute for light bites on date night. Everything was prepared well, good portions and tasty. The cucumber salad was crisp with a balance of sweet, zesty and spicy marinade. The calamari is tender with a light crisp batter, more salt than spice, very good. The pork belly was meaty, tender and flavorful. The shrimp and crab wantons are more of a shrimp steamed dumpling on top of radish and some crab meat. It's made well but know what to expect as it isn't similar to Americanized crab Rangoons. Note: I wanted the beef chow fun and appreciate the notice that the beef is tender but chewy.

    When we first arrived the front door appeared to be locked and we thought they were closed. Also it doesn't say Tiger Fork in English on the outside. So as we were walking away I called to see if they were open and they were but they said the the front door has somewhat of a vacuum effect and that you gotta pull really hard to open it. So we made it inside and we were sat at a table. We ordered our drinks and our food. Our server was nice and treated well. We ordered the bbq plate and it was very good. It was enough for 2 very hungry people. We did not have room for dessert. I would like to go back to try other things on the menu. I thought it was worth it.

    Had such a wonderful dinner here! The atmosphere inside is great; not too fancy but not too casual either. The service was lovely, our waitress had great recommendations and our food came out SO fast. Their cocktail program is also great! I enjoyed the Monkey King and the Three Kingdoms. For food, everything was stellar! I want to come back and try more; the selection is great and everything is a great portion size so perfect for sharing. They had a Hamachi Crudo special which is awesome! It was a huge portion size and very fresh. The Crab Wontons are a great start, as was the Cucumber Salad. My favorite dish was for sure the Beef Brisket Chow Fun, it was SUCH a great noodle dish and the Brisket was perfect. Can't wait to come back and try some more dishes!

    My husband and I came here for cocktails. We sat at the bar. The vibe is excellent. Romantic, dark (but not hard to see), and very hip. The restaurant was packed; it is always great to see a place thriving. The bartenders have a lot of flair while they make drinks and that made sitting at the bar oh so much fun. We got to see the array of gorgeous drinks on the menu. Our cocktails were absolutely perfection. Yum. The cocktail menu is unique and there is surely something for everyone.

    Really fun spot for getting together. Food we ordered were spot on 4/4: chili crab wontons, fried rice, cauliflower, smoked duck. Strong flavors and authentic. There's zhacai and small cute cubes of fried tofu in the fried rice, which both add fun textures. The side salad to the duck was well made and had lychee, which was very interesting. I do like that the food menu was on the simpler side, so I didn't get choice fatigue, but they do have a nice big selection for drinks. For fun we had the "juice box" lucky dog sake, tastes like a nigori, feels a bit smoother/creamier, and a non alcoholic drink (ginger beer base but forgot the name). There's a coat hanger at the front for your outerwear and the staff were very professional and nice. Decor was vibrant and fun.

    Came here last night with a group for my husbands birthday and we were seated immediately. Our server was attentive and didn't rush us even though my reservation said there was a 90 minute limit for the table. I also love the decor! We ordered multiple cocktails and a bunch of things to share -- everything was great but our favorites were the 1) Jah Leung (could've had 20 of these as an entree!), 2) Chow Fun with beef brisket (the meat was cooked perfectly and not fatty which I hate) and 3) Monkey bread for dessert 4) Sake that came in a juice box They've changed their green bean recipe since I last came and it wasn't anything to write home about. We'll be coming back!

    Tiger Salad and Cucumbers
    Lisa S.

    We were surprised to be able to get a reservation for 6pm on a Saturday as in past years they were pretty booked! Two of us shared the BBQ Combo Platter, which includes char siu, crispy pork belly, roasted soy chicken, pickle plate, Tiger salad, crispy spring roll, chow chow, ginger scallion sauce, steamed rice. Great portion for two or three people to share and provided a nice sampling of different parts of the menu. Our favorite was the cucumbers, Tiger salad, and the crispy pork belly, where it was perfectly crispy with melt in the mouth pork belly. It was really well done and I'd definitely order it again. I had the vegetable fried rice in the past and would order that again.

    Cucumbers

    For the best service, I would recommend the chefs counter!!! It is a really cool experience but probably good for a party of 2 or 3 max. We got the cucumbers, crispy eggplant, calamari, fried rice and a few drinks. Both the fried eggplant and calamari had great crisp to it. My fear is always that it will be a real soggy breading and not enjoyable, but that was not the case. It was all too good. The atmosphere was alive. It felt like a place to be for any occasion whether it was a birthday or friend gathering. Everything is done in a way where it is meant to be sharable. You should go with other people who don't mind sharing a variety of dishes. Not quite tapas but not main menu items as well. I had been here multiple times and it never disappoints. I'm sad they took away the ribs!!! Maybe I wasn't looking too hard.

    Once you find Tiger Fork trust me you will work up your appetite. The door to this place is so heavy that you will think this place is actually closed. You got a put some oomph in it when pulling to get this door open. It makes you feel that you need to get back up in the gym. This was a place I picked out to try on a Saturday afternoon. There are plenty of options for food and bars in this area near Logan Circle and the Mt. Vernon Square metro stop. Very clean place and the staff was very nice. If you are looking at Yelp pictures ask exactly what comes with your meal. I only say that because in many pictures it looks like some time ago that rice came as an automatic side but not so much anymore. If you want to come in just for drinks the bar is a nice place to sit as there was a gathering of friends having drinks. Either the drinks were real good or they were slow drinkers. They were there when we got there and were there when we left. For the entrée selection I went with the pork belly and I really wish it would have came with some rice. I could have ordered some but decided not to as the spouse got some noodles (beef chow fun) I was nomming on also. The pork belly did come with a hot mustard sauce, a mild green sauce, pickled veggies, and lettuce. It kind of worked out wrapping the pork belly in the lettuce. You can lie and say it is a healthier version this way. No disappointment in the selection and I have no problem coming back. Although it is an appetizer the crispy calamari stood out to me. The sauce that came atop was a nice addition but it was fried and seasoned perfectly that it was not needed. The menu is small but to me that is good in that they concentrate on a few items and do it well. Plus it keeps those who cannot decide from spending 20 minutes changing their mind about what they want to eat.

    I have been waiting to try this resturant for awhile and it did not disappoint. I won't say the staff at the front was as warm and welcoming as I would like for a resturant of this caliber but I guess they also don't have to be warm just help me be seated. My waitress was great she was super sweet and super quick with assisting us with our meal and breaking down what we were thinking about ordering! We started with the crab wontons they were really good and the main attraction for everyone when I posted it on social media. We got the fried rice it was delicious, the bbq platter is honestly the best option you get all the meats except the duck which I will need to go back and have. The potatoes were out of this world ! When I saw it on the menu I truly wasn't that excited once I tasted one I was mind blown. The flavor is so unique and so hard to wrap your mind around it's truly bursting with flavor. The cucumber salad is also really good. They deserve every Michelin star that they have been granted the food is truly just that good. I would absolutely recommend coming here. The resturant is clean as well as the bathroom

    Overall we had a good dining experience at Tiger Fork! We had a reservation and were seated promptly on arrival. The service was good and the noise level was very average. No issues with having conversations even with other people sitting nearby. The dumplings were very tasty. The crispy pork belly was so delicious and my favorite dish if the night. The eggplant was just ok in comparison to the other dishes we tried.

    I was excited to try this place but I think it was a bit underwhelming overall unfortunately. The waitress said you should have 4-5 plates for 2 people -- that is FAR too much food. Even two plates alone a lot of food, quite honestly. The best dish was the chow fun with beef brisket. The pork plate the meat was nice and tender, but the sauce was bland and overall the dish needed more flavor. The calamari was an insane portion and fairly standard. The Peruvian chef and a Chinese kitchen cocktail was fairly watery but was very drinkable. I've had far better meals at more affordable places so for that reason I have to get it 3 stars. I wanted to love this place but just fell short to me.

I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

There was urine on the floor, a strong foul odor, and the surface was slippery. For a speakeasy positioning itself as upscale, this was a major miss.

Small bites: the kitchen was out of mussels and their famous donuts so we decided to try the Franks en Crute, the sexy adult version of pigs in a blanket lol. Such a delicious treat, well balanced flavors giving both sweet (flaky puff pastry) and savory (well grilled wagyu beef). Definitely recommend. The music was perfect for the evening!

As I stated earlier, this has now become a regular on the list and I'm excited to visit again.
