Lucky Tigre

Heart Vergara 2 weeks ago

We went on Sunday around 5pm and it was packed. They had 3 small tables and bar tables inside and couple of benches outside. The indoor didn’t have any AC, they had couple of fans and even in the bathroom they had fans. After we ordered at the counter the food took about 15 mins to arrive which was not too bad of wait. But when the food came to our table we didn’t have any utensils, we had to go to the cashier to ask once of the employees for utensils and cups of ice for our drinks. As for food, it was really mid. The presentation was beautiful, but flavor wise it was lacking a lot of flavor. I ordered their specialty lechon belly platter which came with rice, atchara and sauce. Their lechon belly was not cooked right, the skin is too stale and not crispy.

Yum! Loved this Filipino restaurant and will definitely come again. We visited for Sunday lunch. I love that they have Impossible Meat as an option! We had plant-based lumpia, and it was great. Our party also ordered lumpia mix smash burger bao buns, chicken adobo bao, lemongrass chicken skewers, and lucky canton stir fry. Everything was delicious! Plus the halo halo bowl was enough to share between a few of us (we were also pretty full by end of lunch). How it works: You order and pay at the counter and the cashier will give you a table number. Pick your seats and wait for delicious food. Tip: Order halo-halo ahead of time but request that they not make it until you’ve finished your meal. Then you won’t need to wait in line to order dessert. — Seats both inside and outside. — Street parking. Family friendly notes: — yes there’s high chairs — no kids menu — yes there’s a bathroom Interesting find: Pocari Sweat! I drank this in Tokyo and could never find it in the US. So cool to see it in the cooler here.

We went on a weekend and it was packed and so service was understandably slow. I do appreciate that they communicate with you about wait times and delays so you know what to expect. We ordered the Lechon Kawali, it was crispy and still very juicy. We also ordered the BBQ chicken skewers and it was good as well—lemongrass flavor is on point and meat was tender. The Pancit Sotanghon was just ok. I was excited to try their drinks and we got their specialty lattes Jungle Cat and Bananaque. I was disappointed because it was just watery with a hint of flavor. I can tell the espresso shot was not a good pull and ice just melted right away too. Maybe it’s because it was so busy and it was a very hot day. We’ll give it another shot some other time.

First time trying Lucky Tigre and food is great!! I love their dumplings so flavorful best dumplings I’ve had in Tampa so far. Their noodles are a great pick as well and the lumpia was sooooo yummy first time trying that and we loved. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the Pork Bao Buns a lot of sauce and gets soggy fast because of the juices. The flavors and toppings was too much but still wasn’t bad. Drinks are okay. The place is pretty small best to do take out. Service is mediocre it took abt 40 mins for our food but it was pretty busy and was a Friday night so it is expected. Minimal seating inside and it’s very HOT inside! Overall really good Filipino food.

THIS IS A GEM!!! 🥳🍍👍🏼 Let me start by mentioning that I’m a foodie and love exploring and discovering new places I’ve never been (Tampa is abundant with them)! I LOVE Filipino food & there just aren’t a ton of places serving this amazing cuisine. This place is a MUST TRY! It’s small but mighty 🙌🏼 a few tables inside, 2 counters to sit at and some picnic tables in the front. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They have all kinds of coffee and teas (I had the calamansi lemonade with strawberry puree) and the food (which is all handmade) was fabulous! HIGHLY RECOMMEND - the beef lumpia w/ tangy and sweet vinegar sauce, the pork tocino dumplings WITH chili oil, the mochi fried chicken bao buns, and we got the pork belly special. Everything was delicious with tons of flavor! It will not disappoint- we cannot wait to come back and try other menu items (like the Halo Halo shaved ice dessert)! It’s casual, cool, and most importantly- top notch food 😎👍🏼
