Start w the pros: service, ambiance, and drinks r stellar! Cons: we came on hockey game night so wondering if the kitchen staff was off because lack of customers but we got 5 dishes: 1. Green beans- over cooked w way too much taste of chili 2. Prawn chive dumplings- only thing we could finish 3. Mala chicken- seemed like it was fried earlier then just warmed up again because not crispy and very greasy 4. Mint beef- the lotus root was soaked in salt, the chili sauce was overpowering 5. Nam nam noodles- worst dish ever! Drenched in "numbing sauce" that tasted like peanut butter w strange bitter chili aftertaste SUM IT UP: spent over $175 and all 3 of us could barely eat anything, but still boxed it up (to not waste it...hopefully) and gave it to the homeless person outside, who we wonder if he even finished it????????!!!!! Then went to Subway and got a sandwich to have some type of dinner in our stomachs! Been to many Szechuan Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, in our hometown of San Francisco, and this one is bottom of the barrel fusion. read more

We ate at Tyger Tyger on a rainy afternoon. There were only two other tables of people during our visit. The waitress was not overly friendly and a tad snobby. My husbands dish was incredibly over seasoned, the chicken was thin and extremely over cooked and dry. My dish, the tofu was cooked perfectly however the food was over seasoned as well. This is coming from two people that enjoy spice and seasoning. The reason I left 2 stars was the tofu and the appetizer otherwise from service to the rest of the meal it wouldn't have even been 1 star. read more

We found this gem while doing the tourist thing in Seattle. Cocktails were outstanding and the food was amazing. It is best to eat family style since the dishes are Al-a cart. The dumplings were some of the best I have ever had. Even with the chili sauce adding a little heat( I stay away for spicy hot), it was really delicious. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and nicely finished. The black cod was tender, but spicy. The pork belly was scrumptious. read more

Seriously delicious food. We had the honey walnut shrimp buns, pork tobiko cilantro dumplings, dan dan mien, and garlic green beans, all of which were exceptional. We came during prime lunch hours on a Saturday and were (pleasantly) surprised to find ourselves as one of only 3 sets of diners at the restaurant, and accordingly the service was pretty light and casual. read more

As someone who has lived in China for 10 years, this place is not the right place to come to for authentic experience. However, I have to say I was quite blown away by the food. The pork belly buns might be one of the best food I have ever had. The meat was tender, the sauce was heaven, and it was rich but not overbearing. The other dishes were all amazing, and the addition of Szechuan spice really made the meal more enjoyable. If you are not a fan of numbing spice then I'd recommend talking to the waiter and adjusting the spice level. I also personally didn't like the double cooked pork as much so maybe try ordering a different dish. Food: 10/10 Service: 9/10 Ambience: 9/10 Value: 8/10 read more

The food is more catered to American fusion Sichuan. This is not authentic Sichuan food. For those seeking real Sichuan food, go to Intl' District, this restaurant was a major disappointment. Dumplings: too salty, wrapper was substantial Silken tofu: too salty, the salt overpowered the dish and ruined the actual taste of the tofu and chef added too much peppercorn Tres pork belly: this is only dish that tastes decent 4/5, crispy pork belly paired with with sauce pork belly bao: sauce is too weak(garlic avioli sauce used instead of typical chinese bbq sauce) crab fried rice: this was one of the better dishes out of all the selections tan tan noodles: tastes like too much vinegar added and exactly like a dry ramen with too much sodium. This was the worst dish next to the silken tofu. Green beans stir fry: super salty as well, it looks the main chef that day just drizzled a lot of salt into all the dishes. Our group was disappointed in this restaurant. These greens beans do not even compare well next to Din Tai Fung. Portion size: very small, if you are looking for asian dining, this is not for you. The waitress said portion sizes are big, they were not. A plate of green beans have about 7-8 strands of green beans on it for 10$ read more

We were ten minutes late to our reservation, and they still sat us on a busy Saturday night. We ordered the dan dan noodles, babyback ribs, and prawn & chive dumplings for 2 people. The dan dan noodles were spicy/numbing (as they should be). The babyback ribs were the highlight for me! They were flavorful, and the meat fell off the bones. This restaurant is perfect for spice lovers. read more

First of all, I stopped in the middle of eating this meal to leave this review because it's that good. I ordered the garlic fried rice and honey walnut buns for delivery. I will admit that I was skeptical of the prices. I would've loved to try the green beans as well but they're priced at $16 (for delivery, may be less in the restaurant) so I had to sacrifice this time. This rice....WOW! I'm sitting here truly savoring the flavor between bites. It is so so rich. I thought the portion seemed a little small at first glance but it's so savory and satisfying I really don't think I'd need any more in one sitting. The buns are really really good, a perfect combination of flavors and textures with a huge juicy prawn in the middle. I'll definitely be ordering again and I'd love to dine in restaurant in the future to try the cocktails. read more

Food: not great. When the server tells you it's a family style, think individual size, not actual Chinese restaurants family style size. DO NOT recommend the wings... it was over seasoned outside and bland on the inside. The Dan Dan noodles were decent if you get the sauce on the side. The garlic tofu was the best out of what we ordered but I'm not even sure if that's because the other dishes tastes terrible or if it was good. Service: decent. It was too crowded so the server did the best they could. Ambiance: music was so loud that we had to yell at each other. You can reach out and touch the people sitting around you so when it's crowded, it is claustrophobic crowded. read more

Good flavors but SLOW and overpriced for lunch. We were here from out of state and wanted good Asian food. For a lunch spot they were not busy read more

We stopped in during a Kraken game so the place wasn't too crowded but was prior to the game. The food was superb. The cocktails were too enjoyable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Next time I'm Seattle I'll be back read more

Came for dinner around 6pm on a Friday night with a party of 2. Though we had no reservation, we were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. I'd say the restaurant was about 50% full. Everything is family style, so perfect for sharing. To start, we ordered the Prawn & Chive Dumplings and Pork Belly Buns-- they came out quickly, and staggered so we weren't overwhelmed by food and DELICIOUS. For the entrees, we had the Garlic 3-Way Fried Rice & Yunnan Chili Beef. The fried rice is delightfully full of egg and perfectly seasoned and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and spiced but not too spicy. By the time we were leaving, around 7, the restaurant was definitely starting to fill up so keep that in mind when timing your visit. Service was attentive, food delicious-- will definitely return! read more

W O W. Is what I have to say about Tyger Tyger! All the food here blew my expectations away on top of the excellent service. We came with a group of four and still had so many leftovers! I came in expecting your typical Sichuan cuisine flavors and cooking style, but their dishes are elevated and complex. It's not all mala or spice forward! I do recommend eating the twice cooked pork before the chongqing chicken because the pork flavors are more subtle. I didn't get a picture of the pork buns but y'all. It was melt in your mouth, it was savory, it was everything you could ever want. They come two per order and I don't recommend sharing at all. You'll need one to yourself! I have to commend the service here, everyone was so friendly! Our server checked to see if we've dined in before and if we were familiar with Sichuan food. And extra kudos to the bartender, my friends and I enjoyed every cocktail that we ordered! Not one bad drink on the menu. We'll be back soon to try everything else! read more

After a long-time of having this place in my bookmarks my partner and I braved the pleasant weather tonight for dinner and were utterly disappointed. We ordered 4 dishes and were so disappointed with each one almost- just the Pork buns were okay. We got the Garlic 4 way rice was so bad honestly, it's brown rice which wasn't even mentioned in the menu. Gong Bao chicken was salty and not great, the Chongqing Mala Chicken was nothing but spice powder all over. The drinks were okay, apart from that everything else was bad and we were so disappointed definitely! read more

Great atmosphere but spicy dishes! Good vibes for drinks with friends! My friends and I shared a few dishes before the Madonna concert but really spicy. Small portions for the prices but I guess this is the new norm. read more

Shocked by some of these bad reviews, this place is incredible!!! I will say, like the other reviews about authenticity, it's not the most authentic Sichuan, but it's GREAT food nonetheless. We've tried many of the items on the menu and these are our go-to's: Chicken and shiitake dumplings (10/10) Honey walnut prawn buns and pork belly buns (10/10) Dan Dan mian (10/10) Garlic 3 way fried rice (9/10) Gung bao chicken (10/10 and Mala chicken (9/10) Drinks: Island warfare The only con is they do have this one mezcal drink (Oaxacan breeze?) that was terrible. But overall a great experience and decent service/pricing. read more

Delicious food and drinks, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff! I'll be back for sure.

Incredible meal here on New Years Eve. I'll rank the things we ordered starting with the best. Honey walnut prawn buns...epic. Salt and pepper tofu - didn't expect a vegetarian dish to come out above the rest but it was amazing. Yunnan chili beef - pan fried with almost a dry rub finish and loads of ginger. Dan Dan mien - loads of flavor and great numbing from the peppercorns. Nothing on the table was bad and I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu. read more

Me and my friends first ordered some appetizers: pork belly buns which were good. The order came with 2 buns, and the pieces of pork were really big and the flavor was good but it was $8 per bun which was really pricey. We also ordered the seafood dumplings which were good -- but a little underwhelming. If I were to say, I would only suggest getting the pork belly buns if you wanted to get some appetizers. For entrées, the portions were big but it honestly didn't seem very authentic. We ordered garlic fried rice, mala chicken, yunan beef, and fried green beans. Me and my group of friends were surprised to find out the dishes did not come with a side of rice, but you can get some for an additional charge of $3. The garlic fried rice did not taste very flavorful. It tasted like regular rice and brown rice but was super soft and moist which is not ideal for fried rice. There was no wok flavor and was pretty bland. Yunan beef: this was good, but it was really salty. I feel like there wasn't much meat, but there was a lot of sauce. Mala chicken: probably the best dish out of the other entrees we ordered. It was well seasoned, and the portions were large. It wasn't anything that wow'd me or my group of friends, but it was a good dish to share. Fried green beans: these were oddly sweet/tangy with citrusy flavors. I'm used to green beans being more on the savory/chili side but this was interesting. Overall, getting dinner here was okay. It was filling, but it didn't feel authentic or special. For the price point, I don't think it's worth it honestly. But if you're in the area looking for a Szechuan restaurant feel free to stop by and see if you'd like it. read more

On a weekend of massive eating and absolute self indulgence, we did take out from Tyger Tyger, a cute Chinese restaurant located in Lower Queen Anne. It was a lovely evening for the middle of January, and people were out in spite of the pandemic quarantine. Looking at the quasi outside dining and supposed dining regulations, we will continue to do take out only. Those Covid numbers will remain high as long as people ignore the virus. I wonder if diners are more vigilant about Covid in cities with an older population, Certainly, the younger demographic of Seattle do not let Covid get in their way of having a good time. The food at Tyger Tyger was very good. Highlights included the Tyger Tyger fried rice and the spare ribs. Duck for $29.00, was not worth the high expenditure. It was okay at best. Thus, choosing from the large menu can be hit or miss, but the creativity of Tyger Tyger's kitchen must be applauded. It was one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. read more

Tyger Tyger is walking distance to the Climate Pledge Arena and McCaw Hall, it's perfect for a pre-game stop. Their menu is pretty Asian (Sichuan) fusion. Each dish is enough for 2 persons. The shrimp and chive dumplings are great. Pork in the pork belly bun was dry but the garlic sauce was good. I may try the shrimp bun next time. The "Today's Green" with garlic and dry pepper was the best. We went on a Friday night, no wait at 5:30. Food came quickly, service was very good. We reserved 1.5 hr for dinner but ended up have an extra hour to kill. I am glad there is one more good place for pre-game dinner. read more

Came in with no reservations on a Saturday evening (4:45pm-5pm) and got seated right away. We ordered ribs, 3 garlic fried rice, chicken dumplings and green beans. Everything was amazing! The vibe is interesting since the music was hardcore rock American haha. Would recommend this for others to try and would happily come back! read more

Tyger Tyger is Sichuan-inspired, meaning get ready for the use of hot numbing red oil sauce. The menu is inventive, and the dishes well-executed. I quite liked the Dan Dan noodles. The prices were about double of what I'd pay for identical items in my hometown Houston's Chinatown but perhaps that's just crazy Seattle restaurant prices. The service was friendly but inconsistent- the wait staff seemed pre-occupied by a single table of guests and would sit and talk with them. I have to give credit to the young man on water pitcher duty who seemed to observe this and tried to goose the service back into action, and who became very attentive at that point. read more

Service was good, food was excellent. Was disappointed to get back to the hotel to find out they didn't put my remaining 4 dumplings in the bag, which was supposed to be my appetizer last night while i worked late. Otherwise, I would say it was a perfect visit, which I intend to return. read more

Might be good for pregaming a kraken game, but for dinner not so much. You can't customize dishes, or at least our waiter wouldn't let us. My boyfriends entree came out 20 min before my food and the appetizer came out mid meal. The food was great though. I ended up still getting to make my customized dish but for an extra $15 and with no help from our waiter. He ignored us after our initial ordering, it's was a very odd experience. The volume was super loud, both music & just people talking. We drove from an hour away too. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Not great, not bad. With so many great Sichuan choices in Seattle, when you find a place that tries to be upscale and Americanize the food... it misses the mark. The portion size was fine but the flavors and prep for my tofu were lacking. If you aren't accustomed to the strong savory flavors found in this style of Chinese cooking you might find it ok. It's right down the block from me so I was excited but I'll be hard-pressed to find a reason to go back. My very biased $.02, simplify the menu and stick to the basics. read more

Delicious dumplings and small plate items! Great for sharing and sampling! Definitely give them a go if you are near Seattle Center.

Been here a couple of times now and both times the food and service were excellent. The first time, a few years back, they had a couple of SUPER spicy dishes, but the waitress this last time told us that they've removed the really spicy stuff from the menu, as I'm guessing it either wasn't popular and/or took people by surprise. In any case, this is an excellent place for food if you're in the Seattle Rep/Space Needle area. read more

(IG: @mellowfoodie) - I heard Tyger Tyger recently got recognized from Seattle Met as being one of Seattle's best new restaurants! Luckily I was able to safely try them out when the weather was warmer. They're located north of Seattle Center, giving them a convenient location near the space needle! Pictured are the honey walnut prawn buns, chongqing mala chicken, yu xiang green beans, and dan dan mian (noodles). Although not super numbing, as expected with Sichuan cuisine, the dishes all had a nice kick to them which made it easy to finish this spread. I particularly loved eating the mala chicken with the mian, which together had a texture profile of crunchy and chewy! The bartender also came out with a house cocktail that contained baijiu (Chinese "soju"), watermelon, pineapple, lemon, mezcal, and chili oil. I'm not the biggest fan of mezcal but he convinced me it was an essential part of this drink! And the chili oil gave an aromatic touch. Overall the service was really attentive, and the food was yummy! Currently they're only doing takeout, so if you're in the area looking for some Sichuan inspired food, give em a try! read more

Good proximity to Seattle Center, nice open space and looked like like a good drink menu. We were in for lunch, fine service. I wish I could recommend it but the food (three different dishes) were so overly salty they were practically inedible. We had to cut all of them with rice and still left awful taste in our mouths literally and figuratively. The amount of salt could have been cut in half and it would still be too salty. If I ever go back, will be drinks only. The food was not good for the price (or any price). read more

Came in for a weekday lunch during quarantine so luckily nobody else was around. We ordered the mapo tofu and dan dan mian. Mapo tofu: This one was definitely the better dish. Great Sichuan flavor and the texture was soft and light. Not too spicy but just enough to be flavorful. I hadn't had mapo tofu in a long time so this hit the spot. Dan dan mian: I was a bit disappointed with this one considering the other reviews were pretty good. It was ok but I felt it lacked a bit of flavor and could've been spicier. Overall, good food and would come back if I'm in the area :) read more

Came here for a Galentine's dinner recently, you know, like Valentine's but with the girls instead. Honestly, this is the most fun I've had on Valentine's in a while, way way funner than going on an actual date with the same repetitive interviewing questions that goes nowhere on top of the absurd effort of making a trip to Seattle and finding parking just to see your date show up in Nike sliders with unmatching socks when it's supposed to be a date. Just saying, lol. Anyways, I'm impressed at how some people are able to capture amazing food photos because Seattle gets dark at 4pm and it's one of those dim lighting restaurants, I barely can read the menu without my glasses. I actually am not a huge fan of the Sichuan flavor profile because it's too spicy, but from the look of this place, I was really hoping it would be Americanized and not be super spicy. I was right, so win for tonight. There's a little of everything for everybody here, even if you're vegan, they offer a vegan version of the dan dan noodles where they use Beyond Meat. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Best sticky ribs ever! The owner served us himself and was outstanding! We will be back again for sure!

With restaurants closing weekly, it was exciting to find a new one that is new to me and still around. It seems like good Chinese restaurant/food are hard to find in Seattle these days. We ordered take out and it was ready quickly. We tried the twice cooked pork, Dan Dan Milan Noodles, Gung Bao chicken, and the today's greens. All were delicious and full of exotic flavors! They do put a LOT of dried red peppers for flavor but I would avoid eating those, they are mostly for look as well as flavorful and not at all super hot. The spice they use for all of their dish is very unique and really good with just the right amount of heat that slowly builds up and not overpowering hot. I recommend all the dish we tried and I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu. So, if you have craving for good Chinese food, this place is worth try! read more

As a Sichuan food enjoyer, I was pretty disappointed by this place. The food is definitely not authentic, but to it's credit, this restaurant described itself as a Sichuan inspired joint, rather than a Sichaun restaurant. That aside, 3/5 of the dishes that we ordered were just too salty to eat. I had to drink so much water to be able to finish the meal. Overall, the food leans too salty and has an overpowering doubanjiang/fermented black bean flavor, while missing the mala (numbing spice) flavor that is signature to Sichuan cuisine. We ordered Vegan Dan Dan Mian, Salt & Sichuan Pepper Tofu, Yunnan Chili Beef, Chongqing Mala Chicken, and Pork & Cilantro Dumplings. You can pay 3$ for a portion of rice, and you should probably get it because it is difficult to eat these dishes without something bland like rice to balance it out. Vegan Dan Dan Mian (1/5 stars) - The noodles were way too salty and it mainly tasted like fermented black bean. I think it would have tasted better if there was more sesame and mala flavor, with less salt. Salt & Sichuan Pepper Tofu - (2/5 stars) - This dish had fried tofu cubes and a chili oil dipping sauce. The outside of the tofu was lightly seasoned, but the inside had no flavor at all, which made the cubes pretty bland overall. I also didn't really get much Sichuan Peppercorn flavor from this. Yunan beef (1.5/5 stars) - Both the beef and the vegetables were way too salty, to the point that it is difficult to eat. I think there is just too much sauce. It has mint in it but the mint flavor is definitely drowned out by the sheer sodium. Chongqing Mala chicken (2.5/5 stars) - Based on the name, I expected this to be Chongqing Laziji, a deep fried chicken dish. It was just regular stir-fry chicken, which was fine since the menu technically didn't really specify. This had the same flavors Yunan beef. In fact, it was almost the same dish? It had the same vegetable mix and flavors, the main difference is just that Yunan beef had lotus root and mint. For a dish that has 'mala' in the name, there is almost no mala flavor in this dish. Pork & Cilantro Dumplings (4/5 stars) - This had 8 water-boiled dumplings in a chili oil sauce. Out of all of the things we ordered, this was probably the best one. It was the only dish with a good level of seasoning and the chili oil sauce complemented the dumplings well. read more

Well my food friends, when going to a show or game at Climate Pledge Arena, my wife found this amazing Asian Infused restaurant with Szechuan spices and heat. The easy to follow menu selections were easy to navigate with the help of our wonderful server. Our selections were delivered timely without having to let them know that we and most the guests were attending a hockey game that night. The place was packed so make your reservation to get in. Started off with a Chocolate Martini that was wonderful from the bar.We flew through the delicious appetizers and on to the main courses. The ribs were spectacular and plenty as a main or shared appetizer if you like. The portions are filling so pace yourself and not over order. Then we had a special guest stop by our table to check on us. It was Matt who was one of two owners. He was very polite and spent his quality time with us. Then he said I have a little special surprise for you and left the table and came back with a bottle of top tier Tequila with glasses as a thank you for coming in. What a great gesture and a real gentleman to offer new guests. Great experience Matt and Ben and we will be back and tell all our friends to please try Tyger Tyger in Seattle. All Five Stars!! Cheers- Michael read more

I wish I would have found this place before covid. So far I've only had one dish and that is their Dan Dan. I was a little too heavy on the sauce and flavor, but they made up for it by bringin exotic seasonings and sauces which really brought my dish to the next level. The real thing that pushed me towards that 5th star is their layout, simple but unique splash of options, and especially their customer service. Probably the best service I've ever had consistently at a restaurant. This place is always a good choice especially on a nice day. read more
