Omakase Tiger Thảo Điền

Saw this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is hidden in a small street in Thao Dien and it’s a really tiny place with only around 10 seats. The dark lighting makes it feel quite fancy but also very private and cozy The seafood here isn’t anything super unusual but everything was fresh and tasted really good. i especially loved the pickled ginger and cucumber (i think i ate an embarrassing amount of them hâhhaha) What surprised me most was actually the price. I’ve been to omakase places that cost much moreee. But honestly, the quality and number of dishes here were better than i expected. There were also some really nice food presentations and little cooking performances, which made the whole experience more fun. For the price I’d definitely say it was worth it. One thing though :BOOK EARLY!!!! I made my reservation about 2 weeks in advance just to get a seat. So if you’re planning to come for a special occasion, definitely book ahead!!!

one of the best omakase experiences iv had so far definitely worth it and value for money! staff speaks decent english and will guide you through the degustation journey. they also will cater for certain preferences too. such as if you like more wasabi then they'll add a bit more in for you. if you prefer a bit more rice or want less rice then they can adjust it for each person too! food was very well and delicately prepared would definitely come back here again!

cool architecture inspired by Hue palace. good service. the food was amazing. my favorite are: Aori Ika (squid), Iwashi (sardine), Smoked salmon. the set is really good value. However, we ordered the extra oyster and Inu and they were not impressive to worth the price. It costs 380,000vnd (exclude service fee & VAT) for just 1 piece of oyster, and 400,000vnd (exclude service fee & VAT) for 1 piece of Inu 🥲 Generally I'm happy about the omakase set & its experience.

Back at Omakase Tiger in Thảo Điền after far too long… and it reminded us why we kept recommending it. If you’re wondering what to order, the 14-course sushi omakase is, in our opinion, the sweet spot. Premium ingredients, beautifully executed sushi, and an experience that feels much more exclusive than its price suggests. Every course was carefully prepared, from the seasonal appetizers to the perfectly balanced nigiri. The freshness of the seafood, the quality of the rice, and the attention to detail are exactly what keep us coming back. We also went with the sake pairing, and it was absolutely worth it. Some pours were light, fruity and refreshing, while others were richer, bolder and more complex. Each sake was thoughtfully selected to complement the progression of the meal, elevating every bite without ever overpowering the sushi. But what truly makes Tiger stand out is the people. The chefs are passionate, the entire team is attentive, and Alenka once again made the evening memorable with her warm hospitality. It feels like private omakase dining without the intimidating price tag. A place we’ve missed—and one we definitely won’t wait so long to visit again. 🐼 Gau Truc Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Had a really lovely experience at Tiger Sushi Omakase. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxing, and the whole meal felt very well paced and thoughtful. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The chefs and staff were attentive and welcoming without being over the top, which made the experience feel comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely one of those meals where you leave feeling like the quality matched the price. Would happily come back again for a special dinner in HCMC.
