I visited Lucky Tiger over the weekend with friends, and wow — what an experience! The restaurant has only been open for less than two years, but it’s already a gem.

Ambience: The decor is stunning — very modern, warm, and aesthetically pleasing. The vibe is cozy yet stylish, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or celebration.

Service: Our waiter, Carlos, was amazing! He was attentive, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. The overall service was 10/10.

Food: I found this place on TikTok and saw mixed reviews, but I honestly don’t understand why. Everything we ordered was delicious!
• Sweet & Sticky Spareribs: The meat literally fell off the bone — so tender and flavorful.
• Crab Rangoon: More on the creamy, cheesy side, but still so good (especially with the duck sauce).
• Dumplings: Super flavorful filling with a little spicy kick in the sauce. I personally would’ve liked them more fried, but that’s on me for not specifying — still delicious!
• Fried Rice: I ordered double chicken instead of pork sausage, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. 10/10.

Drinks: The drinks were just as impressive. Our bartender, Eduardo, was so kind and made amazing cocktails. I had a lemon drop, my friend had a dirty martini, and we also tried the Soju Aperol Spritz, which was refreshing and unique. Eduardo even surprised us with complimentary lemon drop shots for a birthday — served in adorable little glasses!

Overall: Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. It wasn’t cold inside, the music was at the perfect level, and we could actually talk without shouting. We had such a good time and will definitely be back!

Lucky Tiger is a true hidden gem for comfort food that hits all the right notes. The dumplings are absolutely fantastic, perfectly tender with a delicate wrapper that gives way to a burst of flavorful filling. They’re the kind of dish you could order again and again and never get tired of.

The chicken and broccoli is another standout, cooked to perfection with juicy chicken, crisp broccoli, and a savory sauce that ties it all together beautifully. It’s simple, classic, and done so well.

Whether you’re in the mood for dumplings that impress or a comforting plate of chicken and broccoli, Lucky Tiger delivers consistently delicious food that leaves you wanting to come back for more. A must-try for anyone craving bold flavors and perfectly executed classics!

I cannot say enough about this place! The service is incredible - extremely attentive (I’m a stickler about water refills and they are always paying attention), so kind! huge shout out to Yonathan at the bar. He made the most outstanding cosmo (also very serious about my cosmos!), bought us dessert, and was overall just a great person! Let’s talk about the food….everything was top notch. The sweet and sticky spare ribs - you’ll never eat ribs better. It was our second time here and every “shareable” plate we got was soooo tasty (scal pancakes, pickled cucumbers, crab rangoons) and the sushi is delicious. Last I’ll say parking is a breeze. Free in the garage next door.
It’s a blessing when you find a spot where the vibe is chill, food is amazing, and people are just genuine and happy to be there.

Run don’t walk!!!

I recently visited Lucky Tiger with a few friends after hearing some mixed reviews, and overall, I would say the experience was average.

The ambiance of the restaurant is quite inviting — clean, modern, and with a lively atmosphere that gives off a trendy, casual vibe. The service was fairly quick and polite, which I appreciated. The staff seemed well-trained and attentive without being overbearing.

However, when it came to the food, I was a bit disappointed. Several dishes we ordered were noticeably too salty and overly oily, which made it hard to enjoy them fully. While I understand that some dishes are meant to be rich or flavorful, the seasoning and oil content here felt excessive and unbalanced. This affected not just the taste but also the overall feeling after the meal — a bit heavy and greasy.

Portion sizes were decent for the price, and there were a few dishes that stood out as tasty, but the inconsistency in flavor really brought down the experience for me. I think Lucky Tiger has potential, but it could benefit greatly from more refined seasoning and better oil control in their cooking.

In short, it’s not a bad place, but not one I’d rush back to either.

Maybe it's a theme here but all the food was mostly salty and had lime in it. My group of 8 people thought the same. I think the waitress was new so maybe she needed more training. We asked for sauces and it took her 20 mins to get them. In the end, we asked for the bill, same thing happened. Took her awhile to get it. The restaurant was not busy at all. I think they could chill out on the lime and salt. Even our dumplings were limy. The decor was beautiful and IG worthy. The bar was pretty as well. Hope they will improve next time I dine here.

The atmosphere is very pretty and the staff is very friendly. However, the food wasn’t bad but the menu is on the smaller side.

Dined in on mother's day. Like that the menu is simple. The ambiance is definitely 5 stars. Service was good. It got a little tricky with the actually food. The rice was a little off and I didn't like the noodles at all. I've never disliked noodles when I've ordered them and so this was a surprising first for me. My favorite was the sushi roll.

Drinks and ambience here are all very nice! The food was okay, not bad but i think there are better choices, the menu is pretty small and the dan dan noodles had more of a pad thai taste. The sticky ribs were good and the sushi was okay, had a lot of sauce on it and it wasnt rolled very sturdy. Overall id come back for a drink and an app but not to feast.
