I found this place on Yelp after looking for a restaurant within walking distance to the Cornish Playhouse. The decor is dark, classy, and inviting with the gold painted wall, dark furniture, and red paint. Archer was our server, and he immediately made us feel so welcomed. He walked us through the menu, made recommendations,was incredibly friendly and made our experience so much more enjoyable We ordered pork belly buns, thrice cooked pork belly, short ribs, and tofu. It was all so DELICIOUS! The ribs were our favorite and the absolutely best shortribs we have ever had!! We will definitely recommend Tyger Tyger to our friends! read more

We were starving after Folklife and stumbled in here. We were seated quickly (but we just beat the crowd! Looks like it can get very busy). I can honestly say that our waiter was maybe the nicest waiter in all of Seattle! So attentive and friendly, with good suggestions. The carrot cabbage dumplings were flavorful and our overall favorite thing. I got the silken tofu with mushroom. I loved the generous pieces of mushroom and lotus root. I eat really low salt at home so this may just be me, but it did seem a little on the salty side. My boyfriend enjoyed his fried rice. The space is a little cramped but stylish and well used. I really appreciated all of the vegan options!! We don't drink, but the cocktails looked so fun and colorful! read more

Tyger Tyger - Silken Tofu with Carrot and Cabbage Dumplings in the background. - Szechuan Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So it wasn't ~bad~ but it certainly wasn't good. We were in the area and this looked like an upscale chinese/Asian place based on the menu. The dishes sounded and looked good, but the taste just wasn't there. The best dish we had was the tantan noodles. The noodles had a good chew and the sauce/meat was flavorful. Kind of standard, but good. The rest of the dishes all had pretty big issues. The thrice cooked pork belly was cooked to the point of being dry and flavor was light other than the veggies mixed in. The garlic fried rice tasted gummy and the flavor didn't penatrate, it was just garlic on top of poor rice in the end. We didn't finish which is saying a lot for us. The fried salted tofu looked really good with lots of fried garlic and onion pieces. The tofu itself was overly hard and I think it was sugared (on purpose? Still odd given the dry hard tofu inside). We ended up eating the fried garlic mixed into the fried rice to at least get some worth out of the rice. We won't go back. Looks good, service was OK, not nearly worth the price. read more

Being right next to the arena, this is a very busy spot and I recommend getting a reservation, as there is always events going on. We were seated quickly (had a reservation) and service was excellent. Staff is very attentive and makes sure everything is okay consistently. The restaurant itself is very clean and very inviting, the entrance opening right into the dining room does create a chill for all the tables near it when the door opens though. Food was impressive, remaining authentic in terms of flavor and familiarity but lives up to its hype with the quality. Some of the best dumplings I've tried, and the dan dan mian and pork belly were very enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area or have an event at Climate Pledge. read more

Love the ambiance of this place and the service. They're welcoming, attentive, and very helpful if you have questions about the menu. The only set back is while the seasoning of the food is on point, the meat in several dishes this evening were overcooked. The short ribs were dry and the chicken shiitake dumplings were too. Otherwise, a great experience. read more

I overall like this place, I just feel flavor-wise most of my favorite things here taste similar--that asian spicy chili oil. Something that I love about this restaurant is the number of vegetarian/vegan options that they offer. I'd say their ambiance is slightly upscale; kind of like a date night feel. I've tried: Dan Dan Mian--I somehow thought that Dan Dan Mians were supposed to be on the bland side. This one is packed with flavor--spicy peanut buttery flavor Rockfish w/Sour Mustard Greens--I love this dish but very spicy Prawn/Chive Dumpling--This was tasty, also spicy I think overall you need to enjoy spice to eat here--walking distance if you're catching something at Climate Pledge. read more

Love the dan dan noodles and the dumplings. Michelle is amazing and their cocktail list is very creative. Wish they stayed open later...

OH MY GOODNESS!! I cannot say enough about this amazing restaurant!! Very classy, clean, and well-decorated. We ordered the vegetarian dumplings and the vegan Dan Dan noodles. Both were incredible!! The vinegar and numbing chili oil sauce for the dumplings was truly out of this world, we savored every last drop. The Dan Dan noodles were amazing too, the beyond meat was so moist and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Our server Michelle was so friendly, welcoming, and funny and made this experience great! I would definitely come back here and would recommend this to anyone seeking Sichuan cuisine in the area :) read more

Tyger Tyger - VEGAN DAN DAN - Szechuan Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This attractively turned out spot is just a short walk from Seattle Center and all of the surrounding venues, including the symphony, ballet, and theaters. It was easy to get seated and our host, Kayleigh (sorry don't know how to spell it but deserves a shoutout), was definitely the "host with the most," - had the whole place to take care of, including tending bar, and did so with consummate grace. We ordered an Old Fashioned because it had such an interesting twist on the ingredients, with baijiu (Chinese rice liquor). The drink itself was a symphony of flavors, so intriguing and fun. You put it to your mouth and you get a whiff of orange peel, then layers of whiskey, maple, licorice. A great drink that you can sip on for some time. We ordered the vegan veggie dumplings for an appetizer. We felt the wrappers could have been a bit softer. Definitely get the hot sauce on the side (thank you for giving us that option!). For entrees, the garlic fried rice, which is an apparent favorite as everyone around us was ordering it (we didn't like how soft the garlic was, to the point of losing flavor; however the rice itself was cooked to a tee and very flavorful; the chicken on top was a treat if perhaps a tad over-dry); also the ginger mint beef which I thought was delicious - I loved how you could taste each and every ingredient, which I'm going to call Tyger Tyger's trademark - however the spouse found it too much. I think perhaps if you walk into this charming spot expecting straight up Chinese food, you will find it hard to match expectation with reality. However, if you walk in ready for the chef to surprise you, you'll have fun. read more

Not really memorable for that price point. Mala spices was good but need flavor. Portion sizes are small. Being a Chinese restaurant and for that prices, I that portions will at least be family size. Nope. Small portions too. None of the entrée come with rice either. Restaurant was empty during rush hour but ambiance was nice. Service was friendly read more

OMG. My mouth is salivating just thinking about this meal. I've heard getting into this place has quite a wait especially on event days at the Climate Pledge, I would suggest making a reservation if you can. I made a reservation and got seated right away. I can tell this place just stays busy because of its proximity to the arena so the service was OK. I had to flag down a server a couple of times for water, to get another round of drinks but it wasn't horrible because we weren't in a rush. The food and drinks themselves would be the reason I would return. This place is SPICY and I loved it. I could've easily downed two ordered of the Honey Walnut Buns... OMG. The dan dan noodles are spicy and numbing. I probably wouldn't mix with alcohol just left a weird feeling in my stomach hahaha (maybe it's a personal issue) but it quite literally does numb your lips and tongue. I can't wait to go back! read more

Located next to the Climate Pledge hockey arena. It has a contemporary decor with plenty of libations behind a glass wall. Our server Stephen? Was hip and was friendly and gave us some advice on where to visit after our meal. We arrived right at 4pm open so was not crowded. Prawn bun was my favorite item it wasn't too sweet and the portion was good for a snack. Crab fried rice was also good with plenty of crabby meat. The mala chicken was not authentic, it was too saucy too much green onion and the chicken is supposed to be diced like crispy fried into smaller pieces. I've been to Sichuan so yes I'm a mala snob. The Brussel sprouts was good and the sweet sausage is one of my favorite ingredients especially mixed into fried rices. Overall Tyger Tyger is a great place for happy hour before a game or a date night with Szechuan ish menu option. read more

Ordered the low hanging fruit cocktail and espresso martini. Flavors were good on both and the drinks were very strong. Food wise we got the garlic fried rice, pork belly buns and salt and pepper tofu. Tofu dish was by far the best and tastiest item we had. Pork belly buns were average and garlic fried rice I would not recommend. Service was good the waitress was very attentive and we had no issues. Came on a Wednesday during an event near Climate Pledge Arena and it was packed. Would recommend getting a reservation if you are considering dining here. Inside the restaurant was clean and the bathroom was well kept. Overall ambiance was good. read more

Food here was fantastic! You must make reservations because it gets super busy especially the day of a hockey game. We came here about an hour and a half before puck drop to have a nice meal and a drink. Smaller menu served family style with great flavors. The Kraken Gong Show drink was very tasty. I loved the Honey Walnut Prawn Buns , they were picture perfect and tasted just as great! The YUNNAN CHILI BEEF was hands down my favorite thing. Disclosure Brussels are not my thing but everyone else at the table seemed to enjoy them and my husband said I had to at least try the sausage that accompanied them (BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE). Next up were the delicious PORK & TOBIKO DUMPLINGS. I could have taken down this whole plate of these bad boys myself. Perfect blend of spice and flavor. Last up was the GARLIC 3-WAY FRIED RICE it had chicken, garlic oil, fried garlic, garlic chili confit, egg, green onions. The rice was a little hard to pick up with the chop sticks because it wasn't sticky or clumped at all. Flavor was good despite all the garlic, it was not overwhelming. I'm super thankful for that since we were heading across to the hockey game to scream and shout!! Overall a wonderful meal, like I mentioned make reservations because it gets super busy and packed inside. Noise level gets pretty loud as well. read more

Stopped by at dinner time for a date night. The service from the door to the table was very welcoming and professional. Our waitress made sure to check on us throughout the meal.

Food was really average - honestly not that good. The mala chicken was the best of the three dishes we got and it wasn't particularly spicy. We didn't particularly like the drink profiles either - they were pretty average. The coconut in the espresso martini didn't blend great and there was a lot of solids in the drink. In terms of vibes: the place is cute but we were seated right next to an extremely loud group of 10+ even though there were a lot of other empty tables. Since that probably had something to do with making the servers' jobs easier, that wasn't something we minded much but it was a little annoying. The best part of this place was probably the staff - they were really nice and were good about juggling all the tables. read more

On a rainy Seattle evening, Szechuan cuisine was on our minds to fire up our lips and satisfy our tummies. Tyger Tyger was spotted on our nearby radar and we were excited to try. Our server Benjamin was great in helping us identify what was vegan friendly and what wasn't. I was crushed that none of their dumplings were due to the wrapper but there was fortunately enough vegan friendly items for us to enjoy for the meal. We started with the Vegan Dan Dan ($15) which was our favorite dish of the night. I really enjoyed the spicy and tangy noodles with seasoned impossible beef in chili oil, and overall it was the most satisfying of our dishes. We also ordered their Salt & Sichuan Pepper Tofu ($17) and the Cauliflower Dry Pot ($17). Both entrees were okay but I felt the tofu was way overpriced for fairly average tofu. It wasn't as crispy to my liking and could have used a bit more seasoning to really flavor the dish. Given it was all veggies, it really did feel too pricy for the dishes. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance of Tyger Tyger and the Dan Dan Noodles, but could've gone without the other dishes. If it was just a bit cheaper for those, I think it would have made me feel a bit better about the experience. If you are plant based, there's likely other places in the area that would offer a bigger bang for your buck. read more

We have been coming here for abot 2 years and it has been consistantly great. Even simple dishes like string beans or bok choy stand out for their flavors. And of course the ribs! I can't say enough about them. Without a doubt the best I have ever tasted. On our last visit we tried a new item on the menu - fried oyster mushroom in a steam bun. Excellent. Certainly worth a try. We usually go mid-day so it's very calm and the service is superb. Can't recommend it enough. read more

I've stopped into Tyger Tyger a few times over the past couple years and have had okay experiences. Their menu is majority spicy dishes, so keep that in mind when you're stopping in. My favorite thing was their rice cakes, but last time I was there, they took it off the menu. Personally, I find the food to be too greasy and there isn't really anything on the menu to balance that out. Not my go-to in the area, but if you love spicy Chinese dishes, stop in and give it a shot. read more

In Seattle on a business trip and was talk by a friend to check this place out. After having mediocre soup dumplings at a more well known place, Tyger Tyger was exactly what I was hoping for. Very friendly and helpful staff. They knew the menu and gave me good advice. I order the pork dumplings with tobiko, which was insanely good and the pop from fish eggs added a lot to the experience. I also ordered the softshell crab fried rice. I really enjoyed this and would get it again, however, I would go back and explore the menu as much as I can. It was a quiet night, but had a nice intimate atmosphere. read more

A fun little restaurant within prime distance to pre-funk prior to a concert at the Climate Pledge Arena. The drinks were delicious and the food was good. Some of the dishes tasted similar just in a different format/presentation (ex: Dan Dan vs Dumplings). The only downside of visiting this restaurant during a concert/show night now is how crowded it can get. For people to get in and out of seats, there may be some table shuffling. Over all, still a good place to try. read more

This is authentic sichuan food, you know it is when your tongue swells and casual dinner conversation becomes difficult. Anything marked spicy like their chicken dish is paralyzing, legit peppers like in old Chengdu. Dumplings reminded me of quality street fare. No beers on tap but their beers available were tasty. Very efficient and professional staff and place is close to CPA. read more

Definitely a Sichuan Sensation in Seattle If you're looking for a spicy and satisfying dining experience in Seattle, look no further than Tyger Tyger. This restaurant serves up authentic and innovative Sichuan-inspired dishes that will make your taste buds tingle (and provide appropriate numbing sensations). I visited Tyger Tyger on a weekday evening with friends veggie the Bruce Springsteen concert and was impressed by the friendly owners and attentive service. The restaurant has a hopping. It has modern decor, with colorful lanterns and paintings of tigers on the walls. The location is also convenient, right next to the Climate Pledge Arena and the Space Needle. Easy walk to go see the Boss! We ordered dan dan noodles, prawn and chive dumplings, beef with mint, and I Love Lucy (a delicious drink). The portions were perfect and the flavors were bursted Sichuan. The noodles were perfectly cooked and coated with a rich and spicy sauce made with vegan ground pork, pickled vegetables, chili oil, and sesame paste. The dumplings were tender and juicy, filled with prawns, chives. The beef was tender and flavorful, seasoned with cumin, garlic, chili flakes, and fresh mint leaves. And the I love Lucy was a delightful citrusy slightly sweet concoction. Tyger Tyger is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle now. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves spicy food or wants to try something new. read more

Vegetable dumplings were delicious! But their honey walnut bao buns were the star of the show!

i've eaten here twice. the first time was great but I wasn't crazy about the food the second time - it was way too salty! we ordered the pork noodles and it was too much pork, not enough noodles. waiter was a little rushed and couldn't seem to keep up with tables because it was a Seattle Storm basketball game day and the restaurant was a little busy. also the drinks were watered down. since we came on a game day we were dressed in sports attire but the atmosphere was casual so it wasn't a big deal. read more

After having a few drinks at a bar, we stopped by for a much needed spicy dinner. We had also nibbled on some bar snacks, so weren't really hungry. We had a reservation so our table was ready for us. Skipped the drinks and appetizers and went straight for the mains. The vegan Dan Dan Noodles and asked for the beyond meat crumbles on the side. And the cauliflower dry pot with a side of rice. Both the dishes screamed "Numbing Peppers!" If that's not your thing, you will have a hard time! I have been to other Szechuan restaurants where the numbness is not so profound. But both the dishes tasted delicious. Right amount of oil, spice, flavors, everything was excellent! I just wished they would ask for the level of numbness while taking order, like simple places ask for spice levels. Otherwise, it was a great experience. They have some interesting cocktails too! read more

It was one of those times were I was being lady like and demure so I couldn't really enjoy the food the way I wanted too. I was also distracted by a ton of questions and conversation I remember the buns had a savory and sweet taste, however, I didnt get the full experience. The waitor didnt speak much egnlish. I felt bad about that and wish I spoke his native language so that we could understand eachother. There was a lot of pointing and photos and what not. read more

Tyger Tyger provides an authentic Sichuanese dining experience, but at the cost and portion of upscale Western restaurants. Walking in, you would almost think you walked into an American restaurant, with a bar, White waiters, and a fancy menu, if it weren't for the red walls and paper lanterns. I ordered the wild boar dumplings; The flavors were all there, the characteristic spicy and numbing of Sichuan chili vinegar sauce, chewy dumpling skin, and the pork based filling. If these were normal sized dumplings, then it would have been worth the price. But these were small wonton sized dumplings (and folded like wontons as well). A delicious meal, but not worth the price for the portion. read more
