    I've heard great things about this restaurant and I am not disappointed by my experience. It's a fast walking distance from where I currently work, and I am sure that I will come back. The pad thai is the best that I've had in Vancouver, a good serving size with spice in it. The service is also pretty nice and fast.

    Easy 5 stars! Tigers Garden is fantastic place to stop for high quality Thai food. My pad thai entree was delicious and filling. The new ownership at Tiger Garden is doing a beautiful job; I can’t wait to come back.

    First off, the food was AMAZING 👏 that said, the portion size was a little under-whelming. Neither my wife or I have a big appetite and 90/100 have left overs to bring home when we go out to eat. This time we did not. Staff was great. Atmosphere was what one could expect. The only complaint was portion size. Prices were very fair though. Would 100% eat here again.

    The dining area was pleasant and low-key. Staff were very helpful and patient with numerous questions from my dining party. I had stir-fried vegetables with tofu and enjoyed the food a lot. Definitely intend to return.

    Overpriced and way too much rice, hardly any meat. No idea why my friend was raving about how good it was. Tara Thai in Portland across the river is way better for Thai food.

    We come to Tiger Garden each time we are in town and they always treat us right, nice and warmly. They have the best Thai tea & sticky rice around the area. The food is always tasty! It is really a gem in the Vancouver area especially when staying at the Hilton or near the park. Sure it's a little on the small side but, it's so welcoming. We will always come here!

    The new owners have vastly improved the menu and the food is now authentic and top notch. The green curry was the perfect medium spice. Excited for the bar/lounge to open soon.

    Decent food, usually good fresh ingredients. Spice level is good. This time I had pad thai and the noodles were cooked properly and it was dressed with fresh vegetables (bean sprouts, shredded cabbage/carrots, onions) and a nice amount of crushed peanuts. Also a good chunk of lime to temper the spice. Service is always hit and miss and sometimes a bit rude which keeps it from being 5 stars. Food has always been good and the curry is pretty decent as well.

    This is a wonderful lunch spot in downtown Vancouver that offers several affordable lunch specials. The themed dining room is beautifully decorated and there is relaxing instrumental music playing in the background. Both touches make for a calm Laoation/Thai experience. Their curry is delicious! If you order it hot like I do your mouth will tingle but it's not unbearable. Don't spend a comparable amount on other options, like fast food. Instead, enjoy authentic dishes made with care.

    We were in Vancouver, WA and wanted to try out some Asian food. It’s a cute place that’s across from Esther Short Park. Beautiful view while having lunch or dinner. Staff was nice and attentive, the food was also amazing! Will come visit again!

    The best Pad Thai and Green Curry in town!! Perfectly sized portions for a reasonable price! Very fresh ingredients!! Relaxing laid back atmosphere! Just the place for dinner and conversation with someone special!

  • 1/5 Korshina T. 1 year ago on Google
    I worked at a Thai food place and this place was not good. The meat tasted low quality and the portions were small for the price. The place was empty and still the service was slow. If you want good Thai food I recommend not coming here.

  • 5/5 Paula R. 5 years ago on Google
    After a disappointing visit at another highly rated Thai restaurant close by, I gambled and tried this one. Amazing!!! Go here!! This place is family run with super friendly staff and the food is delicious. I ordered pad kee mow with beef and medium spice, not only did the food have flavor it also had spice. For clarity, if you are looking for happy hour food then sit in the lounge, which is to the left around the corner assuming your back is to the park. The restaurant door is around the corner facing the park.

    Overall Food was average. Can say try the deep fried mushrooms very good. Service was good very busy. Need Chinese food it will do fine.

    I was quite surprised by my experience. Most Asian-operated restaurants in this part of the country are top notch. This was only one experience and I only got two things as a single diner, so could have been a one-time issue. I always get Penang Curry for the first time at a Thai restaurant. The sauce was more like a soup broth than a curry. Similarly, the vegetable wrap was fine, but the peanut sauce was transparent with some crushed nuts inside. It tasted mostly like water.

  • 3/5 April M. 1 year ago on Google
    I wish I could say I will be back. The restaurant atmosphere leans into the dirty side. Lots of surfaces needed washed and repainted. The peanut sauce was very salty and likely made with soy sauce, water, green curry paste, peanut butter with a splash of coconut milk. I wish the entrees had a deeper flavor than salt. My real review is two stars. I enjoyed somebody else cooking for me, and I enjoyed not doing dishes. We left $50 for two entrees, two waters, salad roll, and tip. I do wish them the best and feel like they're doing the best they can. Overall, it feels like they're out of money. I understand that running a restaurant is incredibly difficult, takes intense skill and great courage. Cheers to the best of a brighter future!
