Standouts include the lobster noodles (when available), the fried snapper, crab fried rice, and gem salad. I’m also a big fan of the wok beans, house-made noodles, octopus salad, and fried chicken—each dish full of vibrant flavor and texture. If you have a little room left, don’t skip the tart for dessert; it’s the perfect finish to a wonderful meal.
Great food, welcoming energy, and thoughtful details make Tyger a place I always look forward to returning to.
The first dish that arrived happened to be the best, the $38 Crispy Lamb Ribs with a Cambodian sweet & sour sauce. The ribs were crispy on the outside while remaining very tender inside, with the fat properly cooked as well. I was also happy that they weren’t overly sweet either. This was very tasty and one of our easy favorites.
The Roasted Duck Breast for $32 with Chinese celery, Thai basil, dragon eye fruit, and plum dressing was also solid. The duck was cooked nicely, being tender with a mildly fatty texture, and the dressing was thankfully not overly sweet. I do wish there was a bit more dragon eye fruit/longan, but it was solid.
Also tasty, but the most expensive, was the ‘Crying Tiger’ Grilled Sirloin Steak for $46 with aromatic herbs, spicy tamarind dressing, and toasted rice. I have had this dish, also known as Suea rong hai, in many Isan/northeastern Thai spots, and this was solid. The steak was cooked nicely, and the dressing had a mild kick, with some roasted chilis for those who want a bit more heat. My only complaint is that I wish this were also served, as per usual, with sticky rice, as it’s already a pricey version of this dish, and even cheaper places serve this traditional accompaniment.
The Newton Circus Sambal Stingray, for $28, with roasted skate and sambal belachan, was alright. It was comparable to most Malaysian and Singaporean spots serving this dish, though I preferred a slightly stronger sambal at some spots, and the fish was cooked better at others. The portion size was also daintier, although at least we didn’t have to deal with the fish bones. For a better version at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Wok Wok nearby, on Mott Street near Confucius Square.
Last and least was the Singaporean Chili Crab Fried Rice for $28 with hand-picked Jonah crab and lobster oil. This is famous here, and I don’t really see it. I liked the fried rice’s seasoning and crunch. However, the sweet chili sauce overpowered whatever little crab there was. For a similar price, I would recommend the nearby Phoenix Palace, which had more crab flavor and was more balanced.
The food overall was good. If this were in another neighborhood, I would probably recommend it more, but there are other spots for ASEAN food that are a bit more reasonably priced and of better quality. It’s still good, though, and certainly better than many other Pan-Asian places. This would be another 3.5, but that doesn’t exist, so I’ll round up.

Shiitake Mushroom & Glass Noodle Spring Rolls
Charred Octopus
Salt & Pepper Crispy Snapper Tempura
‘Pad See Ew’ Rice Noodles

Want to shoutout their amazing and accommodating staff as well. Will definitely be back!
Pan Asian kitchen very flavorful and well designed on the plate which really open our appetite. we started with chicken skewers , Fried chicken Papaya salad and beef tartare, we had lamb chops, Roasted duck , noodles with mushrooms, fried rice and green beans , each dish was better than the other , Great service. We also had tropical cocktails which are also tasty perhaps on the sweet side of the map. The nonalcoholic cocktails were extraordinary tasty. Almost forgot we have tried all 3 deserts on the menu.. My favorite was the Coconut creamy ones, see photo.
Go !!
The bartender was also fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and made sure we never felt rushed. The service overall was excellent and made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed.
Thank you to the whole team for the hospitality. I’ll definitely be recommending this place and will absolutely be back again!
We ate with our eyes and ordered too much food but everything was delicious. For drinks, I ordered the tiger cocktail and the orange wine.
For food we started with the steak tartare (absolutely delicious) the cucumber salad, the pork and chicken skewers and finished with the lamb and pad Thai for the main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared and whatever sauces they were dressed with were amazing. Will definitely come back!
Price-quality-quantity is not great
Ambiance is beautiful and service is good
