    Excellent food, wine is a bit expensive. One glass adds a hefty amount to your bill, but I tend to overlook it because the food is top notch and also consistent.

    One of my favorite restaurants anywhere in the world. Tried the Vietnamese noodles with brisket for the first time tonight, and it was delicious and the perfect portion size.

    This place is great — small menu but everything was done super well. And it came fast for two hungry diners. Great ambience, can go either casual or serve as a nice date spot. The service was really great — super amicable and helpful staff, that clearly worked well together. Will come again for sure to try some more of their tasty sounding dishes.

    Second time at Paper Tiger in two weeks, this time for lunch! The food was amazing. Two of us ordered the Garlic noodles (one with added brisket), and one ordered the beast ramen. We also split the Brussel sprouts and the edamame for appetizers. The food was incredible, the service was outstanding, and you just can’t beat the ambience in this restaurant. The lunch time menu is understandably smaller, and the servings were maybe a tiny bit smaller but still very generous and I ended up taking leftovers to go. It’s just such a special spot and I’m not doing it justice. If you’ve never been, please go give it a try! A reservation is probably smart to have just because it is a smaller place and very popular with Glebe locals. We’ll be back again soon!

    A warm and inviting dining space. Great cocktails. The raw tuna shared plate was very flavourful. The four of us each had a noodle dish - delicious. Staff were great.
