Tig Kitchen and Bar

Pretty average place to go out and drink with friends at night. I honestly really love the food more than the drinks. I've gotten their corn cheese, so teok-so teok, chicken wings, and cheese balls and they are pretty good to pair with drinks.However, I dislike how Tigs shows multiple screens with kpop mvs but they don't even play the music on the screens. The workers just play their own music, which is fine but if you're going to be showing mvs of other songs why not play the music?I only go to Tigs when I don't want to go to Capitol Hill for a night out so Tigs is the closest place to drink at. If you are in the U District area and want to drink nearby go to Tigs.

My friends and I are huge fans of Tig! This is a go-to spot for us when we're looking for both good food and a fun night out.Starting with the food, very enjoyable. A lot of modern Korean comfort foods like Korean fried chicken and tteokbokki. There isn't a huge amount of options but the ones they do have are pretty good. They're more meant for sharing/family style as less for individuals I think.Onto the drinks, this is their speciality! They have a TON of Korean drink options and I was loving it. Soju cocktails, somac towers, and an awesome variety of mixed drinks and shots. We ordered so many different types of drinks (honestly it was ridiculous), but we enjoyed each and every drink we ordered. No misses here!We were here long enough last night that we experienced both ambiances of Tig. During dinner time it's a pretty chill vibe enjoying good Korean food and listening to kpop while you can still hear your friends. Once it hits 9-10, it gets pretty rowdy though as the young college crowd comes through.Overall, a great spot for all the vibes you'd want during a fun night out.

The food was terrible as takeout. We got the Sotteok Sotteok and Rose Tteokbokki last weekend. The rose tteokbokki sauce tasted like nothing. We tried to save the dish by adding 3-4 tablespoons of gochujang but even then it wasn't salvaged. I don't recommend this spot for takeout! Only for dine in and drinks.

It was coo, I rather cook at home. Not worth it maybe for some drinks but definitely not the food.

Casual, chill vibes. Friendly staff and service. Downside is that it's further up on the ave. Solid food but even better when drinking.So Maek Tower - I'm not a big beer guy but I'll drink it. Overwhelming beer taste but it's definitely strong. Probably served around 6-8 cups.Sweet and Spicy Chicken - we were starving and demolished this so I snagged a pic halfway through. These were some pretty fat pieces of chicken so lots of meat to work with. Juicy and tender as well. Honestly, they might be contenders for top wings on the ave though it's hard to say. Pork Kimchi Tofu - a little bit of everything, there's a blend of textures and flavors to hit every taste bud. Spicy or mild, soft or chewy, you'll feel a bit healthy ordering this. Probably tasted even better being buzzed but it's also good food in the system to handle alcohol better.

Love to come here on weekdays or weekends. Great atmosphere and music. The food is perfect with their yakult soju. Shout out to the bartender, Yung was very nice and gave great recommendations. Provided attentive service and created a warm atmosphere.

solid 4 stars tldr; (mostly) delicious food, great alc, slow but friendly service :) I've visited tig a few times over the course of the past year - it was a favorite for me and my friends at one point. we always get the sweet potato fries, chicken, somaek tower, and yakult soju ! All are really great. The fries are perfectly sweet and crunchy, and so is the chicken. they also provide water and the appropriate shot glasses for each beverage. Some nights, the glasses are chilled which is even better.On a recently visit, my friends and I branched out to get the fried chicken gizzard and the sotteok (rice cake + sausage) The chicken gizzard was actually quite delicious, but the sotteok was really underwhelming. The rice cake was under cooked + the sausage is not the type of sausage typically used in sotteok back in Korea :/ We still really enjoyed the evening! Lastly, service is a bit slow most days because it's super busy, but everyone is very friendly and kind :)

Once in a blue moon. My friends and I will randomly come here to satisfy our food craving. It was freaking packed in here when we went and busy as hell but manage to snag a table for 5 by annoying the staff. There were so many tables and so few staff. Foods okay as it is still a bar. I really enjoyed the creamy seafood udon, had a good garlic flavor. Corn cheese is a must and my friends were surprised by how small it was, they said it use to be bigger in portion but I didn't mind. Just had to order two. They also ordered two kinds of wings. I only ate the black pepper and garlic and that was pretty good. Didn't try the cream onion cus the sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. The staff helping us was nice, we also understand it was really loud and busy so couldn't really say anything negative in terms of his service. He did what he could. Probably won't come here on a weekend again haha.

The buttered octopus was yummy with the house sauce. The chicken gizzard was a bit over fried and too chewy.The server/bartender was friendly. The music was good but not too loud. I enjoyed their soju cocktails that's shareable. Overall a good time.

I came here for a late dinner on a Saturday around 9pm. It wasn't packed but there were a decent amount of people eating. We got a bunch of different dishes, including kimchi fried rice, tteokbokki, chicken, and cheese rolled egg omelet. My personal favorite was the kimchi fried rice. Overall everything tasted okay, but wasn't super good or that special. Tigs is open late, so I feel like it's probably more of a place to grab some late night food and drinks. I didn't opt to try any of the alcoholic drinks but they looked pretty solid.We had a huge party of 16 and a bit of a complicated order where we split into two separate orders, so props to the staff for dealing with us. They were pretty friendly and accommodating. I wish they had better ventilation in the restaurant though, cause my clothes smelled a lot when I left.
