Tiger + Lily

First time in Columbus, Ohio, and we were looking for some good food. Yelp had good reviews for Tiger and Lilly and it wasn't too far from the Hilton. The pop fries are very good! Ours were warm and crispy with their delicious garnishes. Also their spicy edamame were really good. We made quick work of the appetizers.We ordered three dishes: the TSO Good Chicken for the meat eater, and Miso Vegetable + Tofu and DonDon Maseman Tofu for the vegetarians. If you like peanut sauces the DonDon is for you. Rich flavors, slightly spicy, great noodles. The Miso Vegetable + Tofu has a great base, with tasty additions of pickled shitake mushroom, nori, corn, and other goodies. It's mild but flavorful, and a nice big bowl to fill a hungry tummy. The meat eater in our group, who is quite picky, said the TSO Good Chicken lived up to its name.Our server was attentive and helpful. The food came quickly enough and was worth any wait. The music wasn't too loud, the lighting is dictated by the large windows on the street, and only the TVs on each wall were a distraction from the good vibe and good food.

Great Spot for a Group Dinner and Drinks While doing business in the Columbus area, we stopped at Tiger + Lily for drinks and a meal. This Asian-fusion restaurant was recommended to us by someone who had eaten there before. We came in a group on a Sunday afternoon and were seated fairly quickly. We were still waiting for all the group to arrive so we ordered a round of apps for the table. The apps we ordered were Wings, Chicken Karage, Pop fries and some dumplings. Since we were all talking it seems the group enjoyed all of the apps since the plates were empty by the time we ordered our mains. For my main course, I had the server make me a protein bowl with Angus Beef, Chicken Karage and Fried Egg. This meal had a great combination of proteins and a great mix of flavours from combining these proteins. The dinner was a hit as everyone enjoyed their food and drinks and we were able to pay our auto-gratted bill by Visa. I would eat here again as it is a very nice restaurant with great food.

I got the lychee martini, which was actually amazing and the price was great (I also come from LA, the city of expensive stuff). What I wasn't happy with is that I order Teriyaki Tofu, but there was no Teriyaki...if there teriyaki on the tofu, I didn't notice at all. I practically had grilled tofu over rice. I know that it's not always fair to compare food from Los Angeles, but the fact I was missing teriyaki from a dish that states it in the name is a little much

I stopped by Tiger + Lily as dinner before I went to the Symphony down the street, so I knew I'd be tight on time and had to choose a restaurant carefully to make it to our seats at the theatre.It was the perfect choice! I was in and out in 50 minutes and left feeling satisfied. My ramen was a little plain, but the dumplings were super flavorful and the spring rolls were super fresh and piping hot!I only noticed indoor seating, it was pretty busy, and there were only a few servers, but it was a great experience and I would certainly go back.

Food was meh. Maybe the taste is good, but I can't say it's authentic. With a name like Tiger + Lily, I thought they would focus more on southeast Asian food. I can't speak to parking, but the downtown area is walkable. There are restrooms behind the cashier. The restaurant felt more contemporary than I expected. Maybe it's more lively at night because of the bar. I was here for lunch on a Saturday, and it got pretty full. Drinks:Milk green tea $4.50 - watered down, too much condensed milk. Not good at all. Did not finish the drink. Taiwanese milk tea $4.50 - also watered down. Hong Kong silk tea $4.50 - mid. Boba $0.50 topping - chewy, no sweetness. I do not recommend. Appetizers:Chicken karaage $8 - we got the spicy lily dry rub, which made the karaage taste like the inside of a gyoza, very peppery. Additional sauces are $0.50. I expected Japanese karaage, but this wasn't it. Chicken wings $9 - super crispy and jumbo. Ironically the wings might have been the best dish we ordered at this Asian food eatery. Crispy dumpling $7.95 - gyoza w a sweet sauce. I don't recommend this either. Entrees:Lemongrass chicken $10.95 - I don't recommend this. The chicken portion was small. It was mushy - maybe some pieces weren't chicken breast. Too much rice. Rice was wet, like it feels mushy when chewing. The purple cabbage gives the dish color but that's it. Flavor was good, but too much pepper. Tiger signature $14.95 - option for pork belly is additional $2. Flavor is good but not quite the same as traditional ramen. Angus beef noodle $15.95 - flavor is good here. Noodles are decently al dente, but they're using thin ramen noodles for a traditional Taiwanese noodle dish. Beef was cooked ok (on the tough side) but scarce :( I would have liked to try the mala tofu dish or the inferno heat level on the curry. I'm curious how spicy they can go. Gratuity is added for parties of 6 or more.

Still dreaming about this place weeks later! Everything we had was amazing. Sadly, they were out of the pop fries that day, but we had heard amazing things. It was easy enough to get a walk in table for 5 on a Friday. We started with the karaage chicken which was very good.For entrees, my husband and I split the chicken katsu and turkey dandans. The katsu was okay, but the dandan noodles were INCREDIBLE. I still think about this dish and would go back to have this again. I was unsure about the turkey at first, but the way they seasoned and cooked it was phenomenal with this dish. Our friends had ramen dishes and enjoyed all of those. Looking forward to going back next time I'm in Columbus!

I've had them on my list to try for a while. A couple of my friends had recommended it. This time, my friend decided on coming here for her bday. The staff seemed busy. Not a ton of servers around so service was pretty slow at first. It's not a large restaurant. A couple handfuls of tables inside. But my friends decided to sit out on the patio.To start, some of us ordered veg spring rolls, okonomiyaki, and kaarage chicken. No seafood in the okonomiyaki. Just cheese and scallions but it was delicious! The kaarage was good without the sauce on the side. Flavorful enough.For drinks, some of us tried the sake or the bubble tea. I got a green milk tea with mango popping boba while my friends got the lavender latte (why were they blue and not purple?), one of them got it with boba. To me, her boba was too firm. And my popping boba didn't have that nice pop. The mango flavor was pretty subtle. Overall, not the place for me to get boba. It's probably healthier and less sugary but not my preference.My friend and I also shared the pop fries and added the kalbi. Seasoned very well! It had a nice kick to it.One of my friends got the Dan Dan mazeman with tofu which tasted good, so I ordered some for takeout but with turkey instead. Yum! It's got a nice spice to it!My other table mates got bowls with the chicken katsu and the teriyaki tofu which they enjoyed.The sake bombs were also delicious! Light and refreshing!Overall, the food is good. It's fusion but they do a great job with the menu and creativity. I would come back to try their ramen since it was too hot for soup that day!

Tiger + Lily has one of those menus with so many good options that you either commit to going back 2 or 3 times or you resign yourself to the fact that you need to make some tough choices. Everything hit the mark in my first visit. For drinks, I went with the large Sapporo (great value) while my wife went with the Mai Tai. I snuck a sip and then a gulp! It was strong, sweet and had more ounces than I we bargained for... all of which are wonderful things. The Karaage Chicken was a tender, moist and worthwhile appetizer. Then I ordered the Korean BBQ Chicken, which was a completely different experience with the vegetables, rice and sauce that all complemented each other well. I very much enjoyed it. My wife went with the DanDan Mazeman Turkey which was a soupless noodle dish. It didn't beat the two chicken items that I ordered, but it wasn't bad. In colder weather months, I would love to try one of their brothier offerings which I think better suits my tastebuds. Loved the service and the down-to-earth vibe. They have a happy hour too which I wouldn't mind coming back to try.

While in town solo for a work conference I stopped by for dinner. I walked in thinking I would place an order to go, but when I got there it was set up to be party of one friendly. They have a bar to sit at as well as several two tops, some already occupied by solo diners, so I decided to stay. I started with a lovely lychee sake, served martini style. And for my entrée had the Korean bbq that had the right amount of heat and was supported by delicious veggies. This was a good local find.

First time here in the city & saw good reviews on this restaurant.. TIGER + LILY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We went in a little hangry with growling tummies and they were pretty quick with our food. Good service. Great atmosphere. The spicy ramen was the highlight. The food left me wanting to go back again soon. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves a delicious, comforting bowl of ramen!
