Tiger Fork

The food was good but lacked wow factor. Portions were reasonable. The atmosphere was great and we liked the vibe. Service was good enough.

The 4% service charge added to the bill but defined as “not a gratuity” is just a silly way of subsidizing the labor cost. I have no problem paying for good service, or higher prices on the menu, I do dislike the suggestion that I help the owner manage his labor costs. Just pay your people what they deserve and a good job will be rewarded with a good tip.

The menu is limited, with only 5 main plates to choose from, but what they do they do well which is commendable. We would go again. Recommended for the experience and quality of the food, but if you’re looking for a “typical” Chinese restaurant will a million plates in the menu this is not it. But it’s a personal choice, and worth it for the overall experience in my view.

Tiger Fork, a trendy spot in Washington D.C.'s Blagden Alley, offers a fusion of Hong Kong street food with a modern twist. The Pork Ribs are tender with bold flavors, Dumplings are perfectly steamed with a savory filling, and the Beef Chow Fun is rich, boasting chewy noodles and juicy beef.

Truly phenomenal! The food was great and the service was speedy and accommodating. I came here for dinner and left satisfied and will definitely be back. I was especially impressed with the broccoli, cucumber salad, and char siu pork. I’ll be back to try the chow fun, desserts, and duck!

Happy Hour pricing isn’t that great, you’ll save maybe $1 or $2 off of regular prices so it’s not worth it. Atmosphere is pretty cool, and service is pretty good. But that’s all it has going for it. Food prices are crazy, portions are small, and it’s one of those places that has a disingenuous 4% service fee. Don’t get fooled, tip your normal percentage minus the 4%.

Dinner was good. We had the restaurant week fixed piece menu and shared between 4 of us. Portions were surprisingly small for four people. Food was good. Loved the ambience. Dessert was a sesame flan which was strange and not in a good way.

Lovely experience at Tiger Fork! The ambiance and cocktails were the best part of the experience. Although expensive, the cocktails were unique and delicious enough to make it worth the price. Highly recommend the Victoria Harbour for fellow ginger and turmeric lovers. The food was delicious, though not worth the price. We ordered the wontons, beef chow fun, crispy pork belly, and green beans. The food was well cooked and portioned, but I expected better flavor for the price point (with the exception of the green beans, which were incredible!). Overall I'd recommend Tiger Fork, especially for groups, with the caveat that the restaurant could do more for the price point.

My girlfriend and I shared 3 dishes and now, two hours later, we both have severe gastric cramping and associated actions. The dishes were cucumber salad, green beans and rice with shrimp.

In addition I must eat gluten free and the waiter talked to the chef and said these dishes, and just these three, were gluten-free. None of the entrees were gluten free. Nothing else.

To make things worse, a chunky waitress slid between our table and another putting her butt inches from my food. I had to lean away for several minutes while she took orders. There was no reason for her to be there, none!

The only bright spot was the waiter. Polite, informed and willing and I make our visit enjoyable - but nothing he could do takes away from the problems at this place.

One of the few restaurants that I actually revisit again and again. As an Asian myself, their chili wonton, combo fried rice, crispy pork belly, and the duck are always so tasty and flavorful.(And the Chinese S'more dessert!!!!) Also love their unique cocktails that have hints of Chinese traditional medicine smell. Don't know why their review ent down a bit recently. Highly recommend this place!

Had reservation. There were empty tables, but they did not seat us or give us an update on the seating. Finally left, as it seems they don't need the business.

Taste not good and no service at all

We celebrated a friends bday here and the experience was pretty good overall! Service was good. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated in Chinese inspired decor and clean. You have view of the kitchen and it was cool being able to see the cooks do their thing. The food itself was tasty but I would've liked the portions to be bigger. We ordered the cucumber salad, chili wontons, pork belly, mushroom rice, and the monkey bread. They stated the food is meant to be shared family style but I had a group of 4 and I was still a little hungry by the time we left so just keep in mind their portions aren't huge.
