The foods are tasteful and delicious. However, the owner should pay attention to the cleaning of restroom to increase the experience of customer. It is not dirty but it should be checked at least every 2 hrs because of toilet paper.
And the owner should install a sign with light or LED sign outside to attract the sight of customer because the restaurant is on second floor .
The server Siwa is very friendly.
The duck curry is very good, I like the atmosphere. The presentation of Thai food also adds to its appeal, as dishes are often garnished with colorful vegetables and herbs that make them as visually stunning as they are delicious.
My favorite dish is pad Thai, the noodles are black color which is fancy, it tastes very good. The steak is tender.
I recently dined at this Thai restaurant and was impressed by the food and service!Every dish we tried was a hit!
The duck curry was flawless, with tender duck in a rich, aromatic sauce that was perfectly balanced. The Pad Thai was especially flavorful andd special. We also tried the fresh oysters, which were a surprise, they tasted incredibly fresh!
And Uni rice with A5 Wagyu were rich and luxurious.
Our waiter, Siwa, was attentive and friendly too. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable Thai dining experience!
Oyster is not fresh opened, probably used the cane oyster, you can see from the white shells, the shells are hundred percent recycled. I can already predict I’m gonna stay on toilet at least two hours tonight. Seafood rice is $45, come with a tiny bowl smaller than an adult’s hand, tastes boring. Black panther curry is regular red curry, steak is good, that’s where the two stars come from. Also it’s my first time seeing restaurants using premade rice crackers. No service except adding water, no one told us where’s the menu, they throw two drink menu on the table and left. You gotta look for the QR code somewhere on your table. Also the whole restaurant has a weird smoky smell.
OMG🤩🤩🤩 I tried 11tigers today. It is a Thai restaurant with a great atmosphere! I like it very much because their dishes are 🤤 I especially like Kaikung Dan. The sea urchin is very fresh. My friend is a seafood lover. He praised Kee Mao Udon Seafood. The shrimp meat is soft and tender. We were very satisfied with it. This is also their signature dish. In addition, the crying tiger steak also surprised me. It is very fresh and refreshing with the sauce... I will come again next time. I would like to recommend this very interesting Thai restaurant to everyone.
We run into this place at a rainy weekday after work. The atmosphere is pretty cool, with the East Asian mythology vibe. We ordered the golden UNI sashimi, stone wagyu and larb tuna for starters. Love the first two, although the portion is a bit small. Larb tuna was SPICYYY but you just can’t stop eating it. Hoy Kha, as a hot appetizer, was really good for a cold winter night. Then we had Tom Kha Ramen which was unexpectedly really good!! We ended with Cupid Don and Karaage Don. The sashimi was so fresh and good, the portion is perfect as well.
Last but not least, had to mention our server Siwa who was super friendly and knew a lot about each dish and ingredients. Would recommend this place for a dinner with friends or a date night!
Everything was just so great!!! Love the wagyu uni don, so fresh and so many different flavors! My friend ordered the hai kung don which is also fantastic, with loads of roe. We shared the wagyu and uni sashimi appetizer and scallop tong yam soup, which was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come back, and 100% recommend!
We were there last night for a birthday and made reservations for 9 pm. We had a blast and the GM really made sure we had a great experience regardless of what incidentals came up. Thank you!
Cool ambience. Good food with lots of creative drinks. Came here with a bunch of friends; Would come back again
One of our favorite spots! Great happy hour prices & the presentation on their drinks is outstanding. Can’t wait to come back!!
Will definitely be back great food and amazing craft cocktail
This is the worst services I have ever received in NYC.
That was some of the worst service that I’ve ever had. Did even get greeted at the door after already waiting 15 minutes in line. Then I waited another 30 minutes after the server told me to wait at the bar and never got a drink and the bartenders kept looking at me and never asked me if I wanted a drink. After an hour of waiting, I left to go get dinner elsewhere. Ruined my Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend By completely overbooking themselves. I saw like 10 people walk out also for the same reason
Incredible 👍
Not bad but slightly overhyped
Hands down my favorite Thai spot. The Black Panther Curry is to die for and the drinks phenomenal (and strong). Love the Tom Kha Ramen as well, such a perfect fusion. The service is always great and the bartender with the thick rimmed glasses always a fun time. Parking on nights and weekends not too bad. A short walk from the L train. Fun decor and nice lighting with two continent bathrooms. Nice place for special occasions.
The foods are tasteful and delicious. However, the owner should pay attention to the cleaning of restroom to increase the experience of customer. It is not dirty but it should be checked at least every 2 hrs because of toilet paper.

Had a reservation (albeit Saturday and reasonably expected to be busy) but didn’t sit down at the actual table for over an hour. Host/manager was nice and trying his best to move things along. The bartender didn’t ask if we wanted anything for 30-40 mins (sitting right at bar in front of him). Took another girl’s order first who came in well after us. I understand tending to drinks for the room, but bar only had a few seats to deal with so that was kind of strange to have both bartenders not really acknowledge you. Finally sat at the table and saw my single cocktail sit in the service stand for nearly 15 minutes. no one really came to the table to great us or take any orders until right before we decided to bail. The guy was at least honest that the food would take awhile. Ended up leaving and getting pizza next door so can’t comment on the food- it looked good. We were really excited but had to be somewhere/worried that ordering would take another hour after already being delayed even sitting and watching the one drink take essentially 30 mins from order. Definitely understaffed or strange operations style or combo of both. Should not take that many reservations if they cannot keep relatively on schedule. Possibly better on a weeknight but personally would not try again- we are pretty easygoing but getting ignored for an extended time when you have a reservation is obviously frustrating. They almost need to have a door person to keep people from crowding the walkways and directing traffic- hard to get through the place. It’s totally fine to communicate if everything is running behind but that didn’t happen. Also, super loud acoustically- hard to hear my friend and we were only a party of 2. The whole experience stressed me out overall (Coming from a former bartender who is pretty forgiving when shit hits the fan)
Waited 1 hour with a reservation, other folks getting seated before us even though we were there before them. Their excuse was “oh sorry no one cancelled, everyone came for their reservation” unbelievable. Just don’t overbook?
The food was pretty good though and they offered us a free round of drinks to make up for the wait.

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that blends culture and culinary excellence, look no further than 11 Tigers. I highly recommend giving this place a try - you won't be disappointed!
Best duck curry we have had and we have been to Thailand many times. Black Panther steak curry delicious too. You could have an uni fest here. Inventive cocktails. Good service. Only negative is scanned menu but great place! Think Japanese speakeasy meets Bangkok! Spiced as in flavorful but not Thai spicy unless you ask
Amazing.

Great experience
Great food
Good service
I made a reservation at noon, only to find it doesn’t open!!!
Joy was the best! 10/10 hospitality, food and drinks. Thank you so much for unforgettable experience. Love from Kris, Lithuania ❤️🙏
The best spot
The fish and uni are not so fresh, and the portion is so little compared to its price

Make it make sense how the food in this pic comes out to $35?! They didn’t even have the soba noodles for this pad see ew dish but where’s the egg, where’s the quality? Also being told the food will be ready in 10 minutes (for takeout) and having to wait an additional 20 min once there? Unacceptable. Save your money.
I recently dined at this Thai restaurant and was impressed by the food and service!Every dish we tried was a hit!

My favorite dish is pad Thai, the noodles are black color which is fancy, it tastes very good. The steak is tender.
I wish I could give less than one star to this place, I have never been so mistreated in a restaurant in my life. I went with my friend to 11 tigers and one of their staff member named Siwa was extremely rude and insulting towards me and my friend due to a miscommunication issue right in the beginning. She tried to further pacify him and communicate properly and he kept rudely asking us to get up and leave saying the establishment saying he wouldn’t serve us. Horrible behavior, we have never been treated this way.
The food and drinks are amazing, everything is very flavorful, and the presentation of the dishes is impeccable. I highly recommend it!
Food was great. Green curry duck and larb tuna are good. Would definitely come back again.
The restaurant is on the 2nd floor so the entrance is very easy to miss. Not many choice for dinner. We got there at six on a weekday night and we were the only customers. Not sure what happened. The food was fine, no complaints.
First time eating here and I really love the food. The uni wagyu don is my favorite, and it came in a perfect portion that I can get enough but would still want it again next time. The drink is also pretty good. Definitely worth coming again!
Everything was just so great!!! Love the wagyu uni don, so fresh and so many different flavors! My friend ordered the hai kung don which is also fantastic, with loads of roe. We shared the wagyu and uni sashimi appetizer and scallop tong yam soup, which was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come back, and 100% recommend!
Look up attentiveness on the dictionary and Lucas will come up!!!
Lucas is a stellar server!
Lucas was amazing ! I am grateful for the amazing customer service
Food is meh. Mostly in part to it being more spice than nice. Elaboration: too little meat or shrimp in particular dishes relative to the overbearing spice and seemingly jalapeno peppers littering the entire dish. When spice is done right, you have a great mix of carrion of your choice and heat of spice meeting in the middle to give you a good taste of bite. The way 11Tigers did it for me tonight wasn’t that. I get it, it’s Thai/Japanese Fusion food (very niche way to enter the Asian food scene I should add) but at the end of the day, what would someone like me know? You’re better suited for Blue Mountain for better taste that isn’t overtly overbearing for your tongue & portions meant to actually feed someone. 11Tigers isn’t doing any favors giving me food enough of which to feed .5th of a toddlers stomachs worth (that was taken into consideration extensively when this score was made by the way)
HVAC was not working. They charged extra drink that we didn’t order and happy hour drink price from the bill didn’t agree to the menu. We complained twice and waited 10 minutes to pay. We used to like the food…. Such a shame. Won’t go back.
Interesting Japanese/Thai fusion. Had the oyster appetizer followed by the Tom Yum ramen. The ramen was the highlight of the table with the giant prawn on to.p. I'm a huge fan of ramen and I have to say the noodles were cooked to perfection. The oysters were excellent and very satisfying. I could have had just the oysters and been satisfied, but then I would have missed out on the ramen.
Wonderful food, service and ambiance!
Yummy food and lychee beversge
so fun and they bought me shots for my birthday with the tiger and music too
What an amazing experience. From the secret door to the painting in the stairwell, it was a culinary experience from start to finish. Highly recommend the steak and the coconut curry duck. But everything was fantastic.
First time at 11 Tigers and it won’t be my last. The food was amazing, great atmosphere, amazing service, great time. Thank you Siwa..you made this experience memorable!!
Great service from Siwa. Amazing food, drinks and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Come here for the drinks. Happy hour 5-7pm.
I love the Pink Panther and Come Get You. Followed by Dirty Fur. Last Tiger Killer.
The wagyu was a little overcooked but the uni was great. The wagyu is thin and 2 pieces.
We had the omakase which had great Thai flavors. I really liked the creativity and actually wished more pieces had Thai flavors instead of just traditional Japanese. Rice was a little too hard for my liking. The cocktails were pretty but just too sweet and lacking in complexity.
The Crying Tiger Steak is 100% worth it. The customer service is also EXCELLENT!! You must visit this restaurant.
Love this cozy fun little place. Food is amazing as well as drinks. Can’t ask for more in NYC
I've wanted to come here for a while, and we were able to get a table without a reservation as a last minute decision for us.
It was a humid evening so we were hoping to cool down for dinner, unfortunately it was just as warm in the restaurant as it was outside, but we just managed through it while a bit uncomfortable.
The atmosphere is great, dimly lit and somewhat clubby vibes as people celebrated their birthdays and possibly anniversaries with surprise sparklers at their tables. I did get bumped a few times by the servers as they were passing behind me, which got a little annoying as there was plenty of room.
Service was slightly slow, but again, we waited patiently (although I was really hungry). We ordered our drinks and food at the same time. All of our food ended up coming out first, and the drinks came out as we were about finishing our food. The food was amazing and the drinks were good.
Another place to check off my list
(See Photos for pictures)
A Fusion Delight: Thai and Japanese Done Right
All I can say is wow. This place offers an intriguing fusion between Thai and Japanese cuisines, and they did it right. The flavors here truly blew my mind.
I started off with the ceviche, which had a phenomenal spicy lime twist. Next was the uni, wagyu ikura don. I really appreciated how the rice wasn't plain but had extra flavor. They used actual shredded wasabi, which earns bonus points and shows how much the place cares about the quality of their food.
Finally, I finished with the steak udon, which was spicy but provided a nice kick to the dish.
An interesting fusion between the two cuisines, and I will definitely be back to try out the other dishes.
I was ordered 18$ food but they gave me 28$ recipes and they said it’s because the computer issues, check the check before you pay and remember the price of your food.. terrible experience
The wagyu was much smaller then expected (especially given the price and photo) But the ambience was great and I really enjoyed the noodles and drinks
Fun times for a birthday party. Food is good. Staff is fun. Will be back.
I came here for my birthday with a large group of 11, really perfect place for it. They were super accommodating, the food here is incredible, ambience is on point, the space is beautiful. Highly recommend.
Beautiful ambiance, food was fantastic and service was excellent
Came here for a birthday dinner and they took such great care of us!
Food was amazing, servers were super chill, drinks were bomb. Highly recommend for a big group
Very limited seating space. Food is very mediocre. I ordered a uni wagyu don which was $43-45 and got two tiny pieces of meat. The ingredients didn’t taste fresh. We ordered a karrage don as well, it feels like those bar food that was heated up after taken out of a freezer. If you are looking for authentic Japanese food and care about the food quality, the place is not what you are looking for. It is not worth the price.
Excellent food, everything came out super fast and the staff was amazing. Will be coming back very soon!
Truly incredible!!
poor dining experience
Amazing food and service. Omakase 🔥🔥
Great food
Tiger 11 is lit! I love the pink panther drink!
Great place for a group of friend ordering a bunch of delicious shareables and small plate. Make sure to try the animal masks on the wall for a great memory to take with you.
Drinks are delicious! Definitely stop in for the cocktails. Food was great, but cocktails are definitely the star. Will definitely be back and try the omakase.
This is a hidden gem in LES. Great (Chef Counter) Omakaze at reasonable prices. Staff very friendly. Cocktails very good. Congrats to the Sushi chef. Very innovative and creative.
Such a cool atmosphere with flavorful food and unique drinks. Service was also great! Would highly recommend coming on a date night and definitely recommend Bad Kitty on Fire.
Food is really good! Service is bad. So if you want a vibey place without having to tip much, you might like this spot! Dark and music gets loud after 9pm
Spicy foods are slightly spicier than you think, especially for Japanese food. Mango sticky rice is amazing.
Had to keep asking for things like forks and knives. Dropped the check (10pm, open tables) and we had to ask to order dessert. They initially came to take our order within 2 mins of sitting down, so we had to ask for more time. No waiter recs on food.
We came here on a Saturday night at 8pm (party of 4) my parents, brother and myself. The restaurant was almost full, and we had only booked our table about 45 mins before arriving so were lucky to get a table.
The decor and vibe are cool, but the restaurant can be very loud. For birthdays they blast music that doesn't suit the rest of the vibe and we were having trouble having conversation or hearing our server, but thankfully the super loud music was only intermittent.
We enjoyed some of their great custom cocktails some incredibly delicious dishes. As others noted, it's not traditional food, so I wasn't sure how it was going to taste, but almost everything we had was great. The tuna larb was incredible - this was our tables favorite of the night, so full of flavor. The black panther curry and the green duck curry were also great. We ordered a mango sticky rice to go which was also excellent. I had read a lot of people rave about the tuna rice crackers, but we all felt these were a miss and didn't bring much flavor. Overall the meal was excellent and I would return again.
The food and atmosphere was definitely amazing. They definitely deserve more traffic, the food came fast, was fresh and food was delicious and tender 10/10 would definitely recommend ‼️
Great spicy food. Very elaborate drinks.
Unique omakase experience, but got an upset stomach at the end of dinner. Shouldn't be paying $100/person to need tums at the end.
Bad I ask the waitress if they have anything for birthday she say no and then in another table they started singing happy birthday idk if a race thing but they didn't treat us like the others so for im never coming back there
Totally do not worth the prize
My best takeaway from the visit was the decor, atmosphere, and cool fire tricks on the drink which was about it.
Firstly, we got there approx 15-20 mins before happy hour ended and just watched the waitress mosey around avoiding taking our orders. Secondly, ordered a $30 steak that was chewy and full of fat. Does not come with any sides just a bad steak. For an appetizer we had the gyoza and it just seemed like it came from Trader Joe’s. Food and drinks just seem overpriced for the quality/quantity you receive.
And service just wasn’t on par to our liking. It seemed like there was lack of communication and organization amongst the team. Hosts/waiters would take quite a bit of time coming back to the table or just stepping on each other’s toes.
Oysters were to die for. Food was very good, well cooked, only thing I wish was that portion sizes were bigger
Good cocktails and small plates for the price. Tuna hand roll, gyoza, takoyaki balls recommended. Somewhat loud (8p Friday night).
It's my second time visiting 11 tigers. The food and atmosphere were really good during my first visit, tender steak and chill vibe.
However, my recent visit was pretty terrible. We have five people with lots of food, but all we have were two small, round, and unstable tables to accommodate our dishes. Besides, there's a party in the restaurant, so it's crowded noisy. The worst part is the food. The steaks in black panther curry and crying tiger steak were both dry and overcooked, so it's not a one-off mistake but more like a quality issue.
It's a disappointing experience, especially
considering that my family flying over 16 hours to visit NYC and have some food here.
Upon reviewing the itemized bills, it became apparent that the prices for identical items varied between the two bills. This inconsistency raises questions about the transparency and fairness of your billing practices. As a loyal customer, I expect consistency and accuracy in pricing, regardless of whether the bill is split among multiple parties.
$12 for a happy hour cocktail that’s not a happy hour .
Everything is wonderful here!!! I can't say enough amazing things about this place.
11 tigers experience me a lot of fun, exciting, invigorating and delish and cocktails.
The staff is always in good spirits and you can feel the energy from them radiate to the customers.
Even though everyone sits apart, it feels like we've all come together for a party. There is happy out everyday from 5:00pm -7:00pm. 12$ for a fun cocktails (Saturday,Sunday 4:00pm- 7:00pm) wow!!!
The cocktails are super exciting typically accompanied by a quick fire show or sparklers! My night is super amazing! I love of everything here.
Thank you 11 tigers for creating amazing things that I can't imagine to have in the restaurant in NYC.
Everyone please check this place out!! Even for a date night or a group dinner. 11 tigers is the best!!!
一直刷到小红书的广告 结果去了之后
卫生差-桌子都没擦干净,还有上一桌的残渣。
服务差-服务员对菜品不熟 英文也说不利索;
菜品差:点的烤和牛uni,和牛居然是冰的!!!!
菜品贵:一粒和牛uni的量只有别家1/3,又少又贵 又不新鲜。
都是智商税 别去了
I love the drink here. It was nice experience for the hidden bar and restaurant. The food was excellent. Great presentation.
Honestly surprised the average rating is only 4.1 stars! My friends who live in this neighborhood brought me and it was such a pleasant surprise to walk in. The atmosphere is quite beautiful and tastefully decorated and the food matches. We had ceviche, gyoza, takoyaki and hand rolls and quickly devoured them all. The portions were on the small side but the quality made up for it.
Great Vibe, Good Place Dinner.
Great Japanese x Thai food, Quality ingredients:Beef, Oysters, Seafood.
Good service, Friendly staff,
Fabulous Cocktail 🍸 try them all.
It's TERRIBLE. It ruined my night!! I reserved a table online, but have to wait for another 25 minutes to be seated after I arrived. The food takes more than 50 minutes to come. No service at all. The waitresses just walked around and take photos without asking if we need anything. What is even more rediculous, the restaurant marked me as "NO SHOW" in the system of open-table?? The waiter did not check my reservation in the system and did not confirm with me and just check me as no show?? What are you even doing? The food is overpriced but what have I got?? Everything is just awful, I’m so regret having tipped them last night😓😓😓
The meal was average but the service was poor. We waited about over 40 mins after ordering and it took 3 times of prodding to get served. The waiter also said that some tables had been waiting for more than an hour, but that's not a very good explanation. Most of the tables around us with no food but many waiters were "busy" going around. Spent over 2 hours in the restaurant, with 1 1/2 hours waiting.
Oh, the tip at this place is after-tax tip, and if you choose non-cash payment is an extra 5 dollars.
Absolutely amazing dining experience at this wonderful Japanese Thai fusion restaurant. So many interesting dishes to choose from and cocktails are out of this world.
Had the 14 piece omakase at the bar and it was delicious! The mix of Thai and Japanese flavors was unique and flavorful. For the price, this is a good deal. I enjoyed most of the pieces, but what stood out to me were the tunas, oyster, eels, smoked scallop, and wagyu with monkfish liver.
Sake pairings were okay, and dessert was cute but seemed out of place with the quality of the omakase.
Service was nice and tentative. Cocktails were fun and enjoyable too.
Recommended.
A hidden gem! I’ve been wanting to go to this place for a long time and finally went for dinner with my friend. We ordered TUNA RICE CRACKER(rec!), STONE GRILLED WAGYU(my favorite!), CRYING TIGER STEAK(mediocre), 11TIGERS TOM YUM RAMEN(the biggest shrimp I’ve ever seen). The service and atmosphere are average. It’s on the higher end but worth it for the taste!!
Went here with a group of friends for New Years Eve dinner and it exceeded my expectations. Food was phenomenal, Staff was super nice and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. 10/10 if i could give more than 5 stars i would
In terms of cultural richness and quality of food it was second to none and cannot wait for my next visit.
A quaint and decorative hidden gem! Went with a friend! Delicious smells as soon as you walk in! I had the crying tiger gyoza as an appetizer and the black panther curry for a main. For drinks I have the kitty on fire,amazing firework. She had the Tiger Killer. Simply amazing and delicious! The atmosphere is really beautiful as well!!
look, here’s the thing with this place, it asks for 18% tip suggestion, but when I asked for a medium rare “Crying Tiger steak” which should be accomplishable by a most standard cook, I got served with a fully cooked, gum chewy well done piece of beef. Note that this dish cost about 30$. This dish basically sums up the rest of the restaurant, it intimidates you with this well decorated atmosphere, then lures u into thinking that their dishes should be great. The only problem is that they are not, far from great.
Highly recommend 11Tigers for Happy Hour and birthday dinners. Who would have thought such a beautiful restaurant was behind that 🐅 door?! As you walk up, you are transformed into the Tiger's den. Music was very nostalgic and set the mood for umami flavor bombs. Make sure to show up with an empty stomach because every single dish was exquisite. The hospitality is like no other!
Very fun evening! Food was delicious and cocktails were yummy. Lots of hard surfaces so it is loud but I'm old 🙃
Had a horrid experience at 11 tigers Saturday night. We arrived at 7:45pm for an 8pm reservation. There was a line down the stairs of other groups with reservations as early as 7:15pm still waiting to be seated. We were not seated until almost 9pm, after our table had initially been given to another group that walked in and cut ahead of everyone in line. We placed our drink and appetizer order as soon as we sat down. Then, we proceeded to wait over an hour for the same. We waited another hour for our main dishes to arrive (we placed the order before we received our drinks). Our group’s food came out disjointed with some receiving their dishes (those who ordered the curry) 15 min before others did (the Steak). When we finally received our steak, it was cold. To top it off, they overcharged us by $130 for items which we did not order, which would not have been caught if not for my fiancé looking at the bill. No apologies or any sort of attempt to make any of it right.
I guess our out of town guest got a New York experience, just not the one we were hoping for. Not worth it, sadly.
Drinks are okay but waited over an hour and a half past our reservation time to be seated. Unacceptable.

The food and drinks area amazing, Thai fusion with Japanese. There are so many tigers decora everywhere so cute ! Some people might think the tables are overcrowded but I actually love the vibe. As a big uni lover, I love that you can add uni to almost anything ! The oysters , the mentaiko noodles etc. Everything we ordered were good with reasonable prices
Highly overpriced. The amount is less than you can imagine, but expensive. E.g. photo attached. Surprised by the small size of the bowl given its $40 price tag. It appears deceptively simple, with only a few visible ingredients atop a large portion of rice, which doesn't justify the cost.
Went for a bday dinner, group of 4, early evening.
Pros: Atmosphere is fun, staff was notably friendly, attentive and accommodating. Food was pretty darn delicious and ideal for sharing. Portion sizes were pretty good except the happy hour apps were small for the money. Drinks were excellent.
Cons: One of the dishes brought out was an error and when I brought this to their attention they brought out the correct item in addition but we were charged for both (they did end up taking the wrong one off the bill after we contested it.) They also discreetly asked if we wanted a sparkler and 4 shots for the bday girl. I said yes and it was a very fun presentation. But I was under the impression this would be complimentary. It was not. $48 ($12 per shot)
In summary, definitely a fun place and I would like to go back. Some of the best service I’ve had in NYC, apart from the honest error mentioned above. It’s not an easy place to navigate if you’re gluten free but they were very kind and accommodated as best as possible.
great experience doing the omakase, great value. Skilled chef, fresh ingredients and interesting fusions. My only complaint is that the atmosphere falls a little short of its potential. Seats and tables were rocky, tray full of dirty dishes in the corner of the bar, and a slight smell of weed (probably outside somewhere). I think fixing those things, improving the seat/table legs, surfaces, replacing paper napkins with cloth napkins, and this place would be five stars. Dim the lights a little bit, and make the drinks a little stronger and it'd be the perfect date spot.
Drinks were phenomenal, but they charged us twice for a mocktail. So definitely check your receipt before you leave. I ordered the crying tiger and it wasn’t was flavorful as I thought. I love Thai/Laos/Khmer food so I know the flavor profile but it did not meet the standard.
Excellent venue with excellent service.
Will definitely go back.
Very disappointed with the restaurant. I made a reservation for 11 PM (the restaurant was closing at 12 PM), and someone called me to inform that the kitchen was closing at 10:15 PM. Consequently, I arrived at the restaurant at 10:08. The person who greeted me reacted very unpleasantly. When my girlfriend arrived, we were rushed to order all the drinks quickly because we were told the restaurant was closing at 11 PM (my reservation time). We had to eat and drink very quickly because they were pressuring us to leave.
The food was delicious, but unfortunately, these incidents made the entire experience of the restaurant BAD. A terrible experience. If you're going to make a reservation, I recommend doing so early.
Fancy thai fusion. Great vibe!
Excited to see 11 Tigers in person. Delicious craft cocktails such as Tiger Killer. Tasty small dishes include Larb Tuna, Tuna rice crackers as well as larger dishes like Tom Yum Ramen., unagi bowl and steak dish. I wish the food were sizzling hot when served to us on the table. It’s a fun place for taking tons of pictures with tiger figurines and masks.
Incredible drink and food.
I love the Black Panther Curry the most!!! This is really a delicious perfect curry! It’s creamy, little spicy, perfect match with noodle or even white rice!!!
Tom Yum Ramen I felt little salty, and the steak is too chewy. Not much option for main dish.
Their drinks are very good! Recommend Bad Kitty on Fire, which is their signature I guess. Many people order it. I also ordered a non-alcohol one. It’s lemonade base, but not sour at all. Setting the fire caught all the eyeballs. People can obtain visionally and gustatory delights.
Besides, they have really good atmosphere, it’s a good place hang out with friends. Since it’s not in a busy area, I can also find parking easily.
Amazing thanks
Crying steak is a must try
Great atmosphere, great service, great food. One of a kind!
Food is good, but too pricy for the little amount they serve, and the AC was off I think cos was super hot 🥵, the waiter a think had a bad day cos was a bit passive-aggressive, if you know any other place that serves a good amount of food for a decent budget just go there, this place does not worth the try
The best cocktails and love atmosphere there,it’s really fun vibes
The decoration of this place is super cute, when you enter you are greeted in a very friendly way. The food came to the table super fast. My favorite dish was the black panther curry, the sauce was good, the noodles were cooked to perfection, the karaage don chicken was good but I’ve had better. I did not like the tuna rice cracker, I was expecting something different it had not flavor, just like the larb tuna. The bad kitty on fire was delicious, you can never go wrong with mezcal and yuzu. This place is worth a try.
Decorated in theme with the name, tigers everywhere from paintings to carvings and plushies. The drinks are good variety of innovative pricy cocktails. Food is a bit wanting, more bar food to accompany drinks and small portions. Good atmosphere for some drinks, go elsewhere for dinner.
