| - I came here with my start up team because we wanted to go for Vietnamese food, and my friend had recommended me to try Red Tiger. I saw the food pics on Yelp and was sold! I've called in advance for a table of 5 at 7pm, and fortunately, they were really accommodating.
Good: The interior was casual and inviting. The food was decent, but nothing out of the ordinary for me. I think the effort was there, they served the papaya salads in a bag, which is like street food style in Vietnam.
Bad: The portions were much to small for my liking (this is why I dislike tapas restaurants/bars). I felt more and more ripped off with every plate that arrived at my table, because the food taste no more different than the traditional Vietnamese restaurants I go to, for half the price. I felt like I was paying double the price for half the portion. Our bill came out to nearly $200 for 5 people (if my Vietnamese dad finds out, I can just imagine him shaking his head in disbelief.)
Our waitress then comes to tell us that we have to leave soon for a large table coming in at 9pm. This is something that should've been mentioned earlier, not 15 minutes before expecting another group. We had to let her know that some of our dishes haven't even arrived yet, which she later punched in the order. At one point, I even had to ask another waiter if our order is on it's way because it took a bit long. The staff was very friendly, but also seemed a bit disorganized.
Bottom Line: Cool looking place, decent food, overall sub par experience, but I don't think I'd go back.
