We had a wonderful experience at Pink Tiger! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impressively quick—which we especially appreciated as we had a train to catch. Everything was smooth, timely, and well-executed. Highly recommend!

The overall restaurant experience was pleasant. Our server, Jasmine, was professional. Unfortunately, we seemed rushed even though the restaurant was virtually empty. The prices are high for the value of the food, but the food was tasty. The location of the restaurant is perfect, and is within a short walk to the Clarendon Metro station. However, if you drive, the restaurant does not validate parking at any of the parking garages near the restaurant.
