Places we have eaten lunch at or ordered food in town from. Whether in or out, the food is always fresh, tasty and affordable. The best thing about this place is the taste of the dishes: I can tell that the sauces are not the kind that's used at other places. I'm sure we all have our own favorites; I always go for seafood and love the fact that one of my favorite dishes is available as an appetizer as well as a main course - the shrimp in garlic sauce! It is delish! I also like their noodle soups, in particular their seafood and veggie soup but the shrimp or duck are not bad either! read more

So today my Granddaugther and her friends ate at Tiger Noodle Nassau Street Princeton and was not treated well she was ask to leave a TIP and was not giving a chance to pay her bill and leave a TIP without be asked over and over for the TIP and then was told not to dine in anymore just call or come in for take out, and she was telling the truth because this happened to me and my husband the server was asking for the TIP when she gave us the Bill. Very upset with the services our family and friends have been eating at Tiger Noodles for over 30 Years we will not be returning and i will reach out to our family and friends about this matter read more

Tiger Noodles in Princeton delivered a small triumph to my room through Grubhub. I opened the containers and felt that quiet sense of hope a hungry person feels when the aromas drift upward and promise a good evening. It is always a pleasure when those promises are kept. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and the portion was enormous. It felt like opening a treasure chest filled with bright colors, roast pork, and warm spice. The seasoning worked perfectly with the sweetness of the pineapple. Nothing was timid. Every bite had a lively balance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth. For the price I paid, it felt almost like a small miracle in a paper box. My wife ordered three sushi rolls and she was happy with all of them. She enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll and the tuna avocado roll. But the spicy tuna roll was the star of her show. She generously offered me a piece. The heat was lively but not overwhelming and the filling tasted clean and fresh. There was no excess rice, no unnecessary filler, just a satisfying ratio of fish to rice that let the tuna shine. It is one of the better spicy tuna rolls I have had in quite some time. In Princeton you can find more refined or experimental Asian restaurants if that is what you want. But you will also find prices that may affect your credit rating. Tiger Noodles stands apart because it offers generous portions, honest flavors, and a price point that feels almost out of place in the neighborhood. For what you receive and for what you pay this is an easy five stars. I threw out the empty containers with the feeling that life had been made a little better for an evening. That is all a person can ask from dinner and Tiger Noodles delivered it. read more

Used this place for many years and the last year has been a complete disaster with the food being different depending on who's cooking. I feel it's a new owner and unkept, found a roach next to the table on the wall just hanging out. read more

Been here many times, both in person and take out. Today they were off. Some food delivered to table was lukewarm at best. Should be piping hot as a two second walk from the kitchen to our table. Felt like someone is pre-coming food and then just adding warm sauce on top of chicken. Other food items were fine, but not acceptable for this place. Very disappointed. Do better. read more

My cousin came from the Philippines and brought his family to get together. My husband said this is the best Chinese food in Mercer county. We had Mushu chicken, chicken with cashew nuts, beef with broccoli, DanDan noodles, egg rolls, spring rolls and sushi. Service was fantastic with Alice, and the food was mouth watering. Price for 8 of us was less than 140 and we gave a great tip. I love this place and it was worth the trip and let our cousins know how good our Favorite Chinese restaurant is. read more

Tried the Lo Mein here and was pleasantly surprised!!The noodles were perfectly cooked--soft with just the right amount of chew--and the sauce had a great balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors. Lots of fresh veggies mixed in and the portion size was generous.. I ordered the chicken Lo Mein and the meat was tender and flavorful. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it could've used just a touch more seasoning or spice to really make it pop. But overall,super satisfying and definitely something I'd order again. Great comfort food! read more

You get very little for what you pay for. I ordered a poke bowl - it was more like 1/2 a bowl. Some of the menu ingredients, like edamame, carrots, crunch are in such minimal amounts, and are barely noticeable. I would need a magnifying glass and flashlight to ascertain their inclusion. Note that the teriaki chicken, is just that. Nary a broccoli branch, or green bean - nota, are to be found. Typically, I'm used to getting more veggies than meat in similar venues, so maybe I should not complain. Should have read the fine print, or no print. At $17 plus, one would think that SOME vegetables would have been included. Buyer beware, esp. if your ordering takeout. read more

Located right on the strip, easy street parking with indoor and outdoor seating. Tasty, fresh food and decent pricing. read more

It was a good portion for the price. I liked the chicken with broccoli, and my nephew enjoys their vegetable udon noodle soup (substituting the mushrooms for tofu at no additional cost which is great). I also ordered a small stir fry udon with veggies which was okay, but a little too greasy. I'd be willing to try other items another time. read more

The food, service and ambience are great..):$:$;$$:$:$:$:);):!:!:!:!:?:?:?:?:!:?:?:7:$:@:!.!:

TLDR: solid Chinese food that's a few steps more authentic than takeout. Also good service. We ordered moo shu pork, salt and pepper shrimp, Mongolian beef (pictured), hot and sour soup, and scallion pancake (not pictured). The moo shu pork filling was tasty, but the wrapper was slightly tough and could have been warmer. The sauce on the side covered it up, and made it nice to eat though. The salt and pepper shrimp was the best part of the meal- we were given a generous portion of plump shrimp. It was fried so that the shrimp was both perfectly crisp and well cooked. The salt and pepper seasoning was solid too. Would definitely get it again. The Mongolian beef was was pretty standard stir fried meat and veggies. Tasted good but nothing too special. Hot and sour soup was above average quality. It was hot (temperature wise), had good flavor, and a balanced amount of toppings. The scallion pancake a delight. It was crispy and well seasoned but also had a pleasant bit of chew. Paired with the slightly tangy dipping sauce the scallion pancake was a great starter that I would order again. Bonus: I have an irrational love for fortune cookies. The waitress overheard me talking about it and brought over a handful extra! Overall the staff was friendly and quick. read more

Tiger Noodles - Dan Dan noodles, spicy girl roll, general tso's chicken - Chinese Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Tiger Noodles has been a Princeton establishment for years. The food is good and service quick.  They have kept their prices at a slightly lower price point than other Chinese places.  With a Princeton zip code that is a bonus! The 3.5 overall rating is fairly correct. It's not the best Chinese, but not the worse by far. They offer both a large indoor seating area as well as outside dining. We ordered the Chicken with Eggplant, General Tao's Tofu, and the Mongolian Beef. All three of these dishes were good.  The portions seemed smaller than previous visits, because last time my mom and I split an entree and this time the portion sizes were too small to share. It's a BYOB, which is always a nice plus. read more

Best Chinese food in Princeton! I have loved their Pork Lo Mein Noodles and Wonton Soup for so long I can't even bring myself to order anything else. read more

Tiger Noodles is an excellent noodle house. It's not haute cuisine. You don't come here for Peking Duck or Abalone. They do stir fry noodles and soups. That's their sweet spot, and they do it really well. So if you're craving some lo mein or chow fun with the wonderful aroma of wok hei, this is your place. read more

Is Tiger Noodles under new management? We've been going here since before it moved and since it was called YY Doodles. We loved it. The staff was wonderful and the food delicious. Last night we went again (after, probably a year) and had a totally different experience. The food, which we used to love, was disappointing. The sauces were all thick and sweet, even the broccoli with garlic sauce, which was NEVER like that! I didn't recognize any of the people I used to see there. I don't think we'll go back, which is a shame. It used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant! read more

Like Ahab chasing his whale we always seem to be in pursuit of the elusive, "best this" and "most amazing that" but in reality, what's wrong with a spectacularly competent local Chinese take-out joint that never disappoints. I'll take my usual order of Hot and Sour soup, Kung Pao Tofu, Chicken Broccoli and be perfectly content with the consistently satisfactory outcome that never underwhelms my pleasure center. Tiger Noodles prepares food in volume that on a week-to-week basis never strays too far from just plain good. Even ole' Captain Ahab could probably live with that. read more

I love their lo mien! They are careful with food allergies as long as the customer gives them caution and lets them know of their food allergy. They are willing to use a new pan to cook in and new, clean cooking utensils. Since I have a severe cashew allergy and they have two dishes containing cashew. They are delicious and I 100% recommend them! They use quality ingredients and have been in business for I think more than 30yrs in Princeton! Thank you! Happy to have this place in town! read more

My family thinks this is the best Chinese food in Mercer County. We love the Generals chicken, the MuShu chicken, egg rolls, the hot and sour soup, the lo meins and the shrimp shu mai dumplings. They improved the inside restaurant with new furniture and bigger eating space over the years and they are so very friendly. It's about 40 minutes from our home but it's worth the drive to Princeton. read more

Decent chinese food with generous lunch specials for under $10. Actually, you get quite a bit of food for the the price. I was a little disappointed that sushi is not offered on Tuesdays so I had to made due with the Chinese options. Great place is you are looking for a fast, cheap, delicious lunch. Also, the service and staff are pretty nice. read more

Really 3.5. Quite decent for an inexpensive lunch. Although food was not exceptional (I reserve giving 4 rating to something exceptional), our meal was tasty and appealing. We had a basic noodle dish--and we agreed that was the best of the two. We also had a chicken and eggplant dish with brown rice. Server said it was spicy but we did not find it so. They have spice side sauce. Our meal bill was $22 plus tip. We thought the food was a good deal at that price. Interior comfortable not fancy. Servers worked hard. read more

We were looking for a spot to have a nice dinner & we came across their beautiful & busy outdoor space. The staff welcomed us in & told us it would be a 5 minute wait, not a big deal. We sat down & had a beautiful view of Princeton.. We ordered the pan fried vegetable dumplings and they came out decently quick. You could tell they make them in house- we think- because the contents of the dumpling were fresh. We think there was some sort of lettuce in there so we didn't think it was possible it was a frozen dumpling. For our entrees we got the vegetable lo mein with pan fried tofu. The veggies were fresh, perfectly sauced, and the tofu was great as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our noodle dish, looks like Tiger NOODLE lives up to its name! Lastly, they brought over fortune cookies- half chocolate, half vanilla! So cute. The staff was super friendly, attentive & the food was amazing. 10/10 would recommend! read more

We ordered several dishes for take out. The food was ready quickly, but none of it was particularly good. It wasn't bad, just not very tasty. Kung Pao chicken had no spice and not much flavor, soups were just broth with little flavor, lo mein was probably the best, but is hard to mess up. Overall not impressed. read more

I have always been curious about Tiger Noodles on Nassau. Always decently busy and recently moved to a new location a fee doors down. So when my toddler asked for noodles I thought let's see what this place has to offer. Generally I would say it's your standard chinese food restaurant with a large Princeton step up. We have done the Lo Mein and the crispy noodles (don't remember the exact name.) She happily ate up both dishes. The portions are family share size and priced in traditional chinese fashion. So we always have a good amount to bring home. Overall a little pricy to make the toddler happy but worth it for a once a month visit. Oh and service is super fast which is a big plus when you are out with kids. read more

Tiger Noodles - Sesame seed chicken - Chinese Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Randomly stumbled across this place during a night out in Princeton and I'm so glad we did! Indoor: plenty of seating and no wait to get seated on a Friday night around 8 PM surprisingly. Service: Fast and so friendly! Food: plenty of vegetarian options. Serving size was very large portions. Affordable & the food came out pretty fast. The only downfall was all of the food was drenched in a lot of soy sauce :/ if you are like me and don't like too much soy sauce - I would suggested asking them if you can order that on the side. Otherwise, no complaints. Def would come back again! read more

Best Chinese food I've had in years! The ingredients are of a much higher quality than in your typical Chinese spot.

Great food, terrific service and value prices. Have been a customer for many years and their food is always a treat!

We visited Tiger Noodle after spending some time in Princeton site seeing. Though small, this restaurant was friendly and inviting. Our waiter was super sweet and offered their advice when ordering. We left belly's full of delicious ramen, sushi, one of their house chicken dishes, and pineapple fried rice. Upon leaving, my son left is brand new Princeton sweat shirt at the table. Not realizing until the next day and by that time almost back in PA, we contacted Tiger Noodles and they so kindly shipped the sweatshirt at no cost to our home. Thank you Tiger Noodle! read more

Excellent Chinese food located right on the Main Street in Princeton. They have lots of seating and can accommodate larger parties. Everything we had was fresh and cooked well. We started with the scallion pancake, vegetable dumplings shrimp rolls. For dinner we shared the mango chicken, vegetable lo Mein and chicken and broccoli. The sauces were tasty without being too heavy. Prices are reasonable, byob and you can park on the street. read more

Got takeout of chicken and black bean sauce, which was excellent and a large portion, including meat.

At the beginning me and my friend said how expensive was the food but a sooner we taste the food we said how wonderful and worthiest really is the pepper steak is incredible and rice is the best I ever had and not forget the three color fortune cookies read more

I'd gone to the now closed Route 1 Tiger Noodles a couple of times, but had never been to the original on Nassau. Our first visit was on a whim (we parked in front of it while picking up some fish across the street), and with a collective shrug of the shoulders we went inside for a noodle soup lunch. I was going to go with the duck noodle soup, but was thrown off course by the menu description which said it was only one of a few soups that didn't have "Homestyle Noodles". Instead, I ordered the dumpling noodle soup. Turns out that "Homestyle" means that they're just regular Udon noodles. They're not homemade (when we asked the waiter, we were told that they're made in NYC), so shame on me for getting faked out by that bit of crafty writing. They're fresh noodles and all, and they tasted just fine, just want to be sure that nobody thinks that they're getting homemade noodles. Noodle drama aside, the broth in my noodle soup was really good. You could tell from the flavor that there was a lot more than just chicken going on there. The dumplings were good (I like a bit more ginger, but that's just me) and there were plenty of fresh vegetables in it as well. It was just the ticket, and at $10 well worth the price. My wife had the Little Bit of Everything bowl. Imagine Hot & Sour soup with noodles and without the sour, and you'll be pretty close to knowing how this tastes. On our 2nd visit here, waiter was borderline obnoxious and 100% brusque. Dropping the plates on the table instead of placing them, griping about the order in which an order was given, etc. Our Scallion pancakes tasted like refried leftovers. They were hard and flavourless, and I doubt that they used hot water when making the dough. Other than that, we were good to go. I had duck with leeks, which tasted just fine, and my wife's noodle chicken soup was as good as the ones we'd had the previous visit. Since we live so close to Schezuan House, I don't ever see us coming here for dinner, but more noodle soup lunches on the patio beneath the trees will definitely be in our future. read more

I generally like the place despite them messing up some take out orders. I usually order Chicken with Cashews and it comes out fine. My second choice is Sweet and Sour Chicken, which is not so great. The chicken used in other dishes is basically uncoated and nice white meat. The chicken used in Sweet and Sour is coated , then cooked. It seems that the chicken in Sweet and Sour is of far lessor quality than other dishes. It is mainly skin and sinew, hidden in the coating where it won't be noticed. It is not the nice white meat chicken used in other dishes. I have experienced this on at least three occasions and won't be ordering that dish anymore. I can't help but think the chicken scraps from other dishes are used in the Sweet and Sour. read more
