Tiger Box

I was in the mood for some Korean short ribs (Galbi) so I decided to try this place out. UberEats has a deal buy 1 get 1 free on spicy pork bowls, so I decided to try it along with a Galbi box. The spicy pork bowl was delicious and filling. The perfect amount of spice that wasn't overpowering and the cilantro was a great addition. Now the Galbi was a big let down for me. For one they removed it from the bone, and the meat was so chewy. The flavor was ok, but I couldn't enjoy it due to me chewing so much. The sides were good though. For now I'll hold off getting my Galbi from here, but when I'm in the mood for the spicy pork bowl, I'll know where to go.

Taste you cannot hate! Sweet, savory, and flavorful. The portion size is also generous in my opinion. Nice addition of quick and fast Korean food option for delivery. Recommend checking this place out when you crave some Korean Foods! :)

Tiger Box is consistently delicious! They've recently been running a bogo offer on ubereats, which has been nice. My absolute favorite thing are their seafood scallion pancakes - which are so fluffy, flavorful, and filled with of shrimp, squid, & scallions. The dipping sauce is also amazing. Their spicy pork bowl is also really yummy! Great flavor, solid portions, and just feels like a hearty homemade meal. Definitely cannot recommend this spot enough!

food was excellent, and a very good portion size for the price. Service was very friendly

I discovered this place right before the pandemic hit NYC, around the end of February and beginning of March. I haven't been back since, but I will be returning to the area since school has started back up for me and intend to visit this place and update my review with their post-quarantine measures. To start off with, I absolutely fell in love with the food and the owner is the sweetest lady. She's very kind and made conversation with me before I headed out. I had chosen to dine in for a classic sundubu-jigae on a cold day in February. She cooks everything herself which is incredible. She takes good care to make sure your food is well prepared and hot when you get it. It's such a wonderfully homemade taste that I have been missing throughout the quarantine.Prior to the pandemic, it was a self ordering system. There were two tablets to order from, and a fridge nearby to grab your prepaid drink. There was one large communal table with seating along with a repurposed pellegrino box for utensils and napkins. Talk about environmentally conscious, we love that. There were also two chairs on the side, I assume for customers waiting for their to go orders. Anyway, I love the food from here, it's a little on the pricier side since it's all homemade dishes but I'm also a broke college student lol so keep that in mind. Eating from here is a treat, one that I miss and can't wait to return to. I highly, highly recommend!! I'm excited to stop by again soon and support this business.

Tiger Box makes homey, quality Korean food with some Mexican fusion. While the location on Park is a little out there, I enjoy the walk for my pick up and they do have delivery. My review is only for pick up. My family swears by the seafood pancake/paijun. We order two pancakes for four of us, otherwise we will fight. They always have a lot of seafood in them (shrimp and octopus), scallions, and are undersalted so you can dip them liberally into the soy sauce. (We throw them into a frying pan to crisp back up when we get home for maximum tastiness, a toaster over works too!) We also love the japchae (sweet potato noodles) which are loaded with vegetables and beef and are sooo good. The bimbimbap is my summer entree go-to, as it's loaded with veggies and is a lighter, refreshing dish. Bimbimbap comes with go chu hang on the side so you can mix in as much spice as you like. Hubs likes the galbi bowl (beef short rib) over the kimchi fried rice. I also love the soon dou bou stew, but I prefer eating it in the winter since it's spicy and hot and soupy. I think the prices are fair for the quantity and quality. Usually when I order ahead, my food is ready to go at pick up. This last run they needed an extra 10 minutes. During COVID, they're running a lean ship. For non COVID times, there is a very small dining room that can seat 6-8 people, which tells me you're better doing take out.

There's that saying about some restaurants, "a hole in the wall", right? That's usually referring to the appearance of the restaurant, which rarely plays a part in the experience and the food itself (based on my experience, anyway). Tiger Box is totally a hole in the wall. It's small, not fancy at all, not a bunch of hype and frills, but the experience....man, the experience. I arrived to be welcomed by the owner, Sy (spellcheck, please). She.is.phenomenal. We chatted for a bit before I ordered. There's no seating inside, so I went outside to sit and wait for my food. I had no idea what I was in store for. I tried several different dishes. The spicy pork bowl being one of them. Rice and pork, marinated in gochujang, ginger and other flavorful components, really got me in my feelings almost instantly. You taste the warmth, and the experience, and the love right away. I also tried the kimchi jjigae, which is a hot stew with kimchi, pork, onions, green onions, rice, and more. I'd say this was one of the most special dishes. The kimchi soaking in that stew, the tofu absorbing all of those flavors....ugh. Cooking is an art. This was cooking from a deeply rooted cultural background. The history was in every bite. I also tried the spicy pork ssam wraps, which were delightful. More of that yummy spicy pork, but with the freshness of the lettuce. Such a bright, Spring-y dish! The seafood scallion pancakes were one of my faves! Savory pancakes, packed with flavor, and seafood! I also tried the steamed meat kimchi mandu, which appear as dumplings, but owner Sy says, "no, it's mandu". And listen, I wasn't about to argue with her! She KNOWS, ok?! The mandu was divine. They were stuffed with kimchi and pork. After speaking with Sy, I have so much more of an appreciation for kimchi. She says the process is tedious, that it takes time. The more steps you add to your kimchi, the better it tastes. The more flavor you develop. She says it's a lot of work, but that she doesn't regret it. The kimchi is a top seller because it's served in so many dishes.Sy is special. She really does love running Tiger Box. That is inspiring and you can taste her love in the food. This is homestyle authentic Korean cuisine, and I am still blown away by it all. I cannot wait to get back! Please, please do yourself a favor and visit Tiger Box in Brooklyn.

Was craving for simple korean cuisine without paying a premium or driving to queens and found Tiger Box. They have nearly everything you could want be it korean tacos, soondubu, ssam or japchae. We got the spicy pork ssam box, soondubu jigae, korean tacos with beef, kimchi pancake and seafood pancake. (we were hungry after a wegman's run). Everything was delicious. Love their kimchi. I would get a jar of it if I could. Covid times: no indoor or outdoor dining. You pick up the food at the front of the restaurant through a window that they open from the inside.

Delicious food. We got the spicy pork and beef bulgogi. Everything had so much flavor, and coming from an Indian that's speaks volumes. The owner is very sweet and really cares about your satisfaction of the food. And great price point. Highly recommend this place!

This place is great. Rarely in New York do you find honest, healthy, great food, priced reasonably. In the throes of the ongoing Korean boom, there are few places to get authentic Korean food without being sucked into a pretentious experience-economy restaurant (looking at you, White Tiger) or a sleazy steakhouse chain, of which there are many examples. This place is real. The pickles are made in house, the owner (who is also the chef, and if you choose to dine in, the service) is a friendly, pleasant, and caring woman who told me during my first visit, "I am a Korean food evangelist," explaining her almost ritualistic to serving incredible food like this out of a hole-in-the-wall under the BQE. I should hope to one day find my craft like she has hers- at least I get to eat at Tiger Box.
