I was elated to find this winner in the Petworth neighborhood! It is easy to mess up or "skimp" when presenting "Asian light fare" . The chef staff do an excellent job in menu selections, presentation and flavor/texture mix with "light fare" .
The bar staff...let me correct myself...the mixologist staff are knowledgeable, fun and creative. I stuck to Sapporo on draft(YESSS!!) but watched the mixologist prepare cocktails that were wildly popular that evening. I took an out of town guest and was very pleased. Prices make it worth it to visit for Happy Hour, and stay a while. You are likely to return for the food.
Bravo!!!
Staff is fun and premium cocktails are creative. Lots of events! I feel like it’s better as an event venue than a chill out bar unless you have a full group of friends.
EDIT - consistently the beat Margaritas I’ve had in town. An extra star!!
This review is for Short Eats, the Sri Lankan pop up that's in this space from 8am to 2pm Monday through Friday. Even though Google says Ten Tigers is closed, you can come here and get Short Eats. I highly recommend it. I got the veggie roti and it was excellent. It's a mixed veggie filling wrapped in delicious roti bread and then fried. You should definitely get the spicy sambal sauce to put on it. Excellent combination of flavors and textures. The space is also very cool if you haven't been to Ten Tigers before. Yohann, who I believe is the owner, took the time to explain the different dishes to me and make recommendations. He says they are sometimes open for Saturday brunch as well, so I'm definitely planning to come back and try one of the curry bowls. You've got to check this out if you're in the neighborhood on weekday mornings.
