Tiger Chinese Restaurant

Great place to go during winter season! You choose what you want to put on your pot; varieties of veggies, seafood, meats, and noodles. Weigh your pot in the counter (your paying for the weight), choose spicy & numbness level. Get your peanut sauce (mix little bit of black vinegar, salt, pepper, chili sauce). While waiting for your bowl (10mins average, can be longer if busy time) order milk tea. Your order will come in a big bowl with their signature broth (Malatang). Mix your peanut sauce into the broth to make it richer & creamy. Notes/tips for you: * 7pm-8pm is busy/peak time. You won’t be able to get a table even if you call for reservation; so come in before or after peak period * be mindful on what you put on your pot, as you pay what is weighed on the counter. * spicy/numb level: take medium spicy-medium numbness (this is average); or very spicy-medium numbness (for a real spice 🔥) * servers seems to have attitude as per other reviews, but i think it’s because of language barrier (and this is not a fine dining restaurant, so better put your expectations down) * if you think you ordered too much and can’t finish your meal, you can ask for takeaway container (50 cents); don’t bring your bowl to them as you will transfer it on your own.

Absolutely delicious. If you're white you might wanna get the mild or no spice. Otherwise get medium or higher. I've only tried the medium and it's just right, can't imagine what mad man would go higher. All of the food is Absolutely delicious and you can pick whatever you want. The tea is also very nice too. Very out of the way so quiet and peaceful while you eat

The broth was delicious!!! I got very spicy and very numb totalled around $20 for my bowel but I definitely took a little bit too much. I loved the selection of seafood, mushrooms, noodles, meats and veges and tofu. Also I had heard that bubble tea here was good and I think it is now my ultimate favourite bubble tea shop. I would say their spice levels are on the milder side, the very spicy was more of what I would expect medium spice to be and the very spicy which my partner got was more what I expect very spicy to be.

The young Chinese female with black framed glasses… You better sort your abysmal abhorrent attitude out. Without customers you don’t get paid. Remember that! Wait time was very long despite not being overly busy, our food came out at different times. Ruined what was actually a good meal. I recommend you go elsewhere for better service. I would expect better from a place where one person on average spends at least $50 a meal.

A unique experience in Wellington. As you enter, grab one of the golden pot and tongs. They have a wide selection of noodles, protein, and vegetables. Pick what you want and take this to the cashier. They will weigh and ask the spice level that you prefer. They used sichuan pepper but you can say no if you do not want to. You pay the price and they will cook this to their signature broth. It taste creamy and yummy. You can add peanut sauce, vinegar, and chili oil if you like which are available as self service. They also have variety of milk tea. The place itself is tidy and the facilities are clean. If you come by car, you need to park on street and pay.

For all around amazing food and bubble tea- this is the place. Highly recommend the dirty bubble tea series. They have the best balls in town. Freshly made to order, the matcha is my all time favourite. The malatang is extremely yummy. Medium spicy is the best of both worlds, flavoursome with a good kick for that bit of “oomph” that won’t leave you crying (a part from crying for more).
