E.Z Tiger

One of my favorite go-to restaurants for a fun night out with a group, ladies night or date night in Yakima. Never disappoints!

We came here for dinner. The food is designed to order many dishes and share. Really incredible Asian cuisine. The dumplings were fantastic. We found the cocktail menu unique, but not as much to our liking as their sister restaurant Cowiche. We'd definitely be back again. Go hungry! The friend rice served in a hot stone bowl is delicious and a fun experience.

The atmosphere in this restaurant actually allows me to rate this a little higher, but the bowl? Not my favorite. It wasn’t bad by any means but not spectacular. I could have whipped that up for dinner at home, I have come to enjoy the many incredible creations that others have made, things I can’t make at home. So it was… mediocre but incredible beautiful to look at however the flavors didn’t add up to the visual.

It’s a little on the expensive side but it is always delicious. My wife and I each ordered a main dish, and our own appetizers, plus a special drink. I ordered the Uisuki - Japanese old fashioned - and it honestly one of the best old fashioned I’ve had in a long time.

Food was good. Service was great. Place was good but nothing stood out (from what we ordered). The pork bun meat was really small for the price but it was good. Did like the mushroom bun for those didn't want meat. Will have to try the rest of the menu.

I had the poke bowl. Great ingredients but it lacked any flavoring sauces. Spouse had the steak which came with a great dipping sauce. The cocktail called the Garden was outstanding. On my second one I had them add Slice of jalapeño in the mull, which put it over the top.

This is a great place to escape into a “big city” atmosphere. The food is great. Drinks are phenomenal. Wait staff is nonchalant, not rude but not friendly either. Very pricey for an average Joe like myself but willing to splurge for a special or a rare spontaneous occasion. If you’re from the city or out of town, definitely try this place once. It won’t disappoint. **We got two appetizers and two drinks (one not pictured) in our photos listed below**

I want to be empathetic due to COVID 19 but I’m a little upset with the amount of pork that came with the buns due to the prestige and price of the restaurant. I ordered online, saw great photos and it was a quick turn around which was great but unfortunately this wasn’t a happy experience overall. The buns had larger pickles than pork that day which felt more of a cash grab than anything. Hope y'all stay safe. I’ll try again later and update the review.

First time trying this place in at least 5 years. The ambiance is amazing here. The layout is super nice with traditional dining room seating, bar seating, kitchen bar seating and also an outdoor patio. The big windows that let in a lot of natural light are amazing to have as well. The server we had was super friendly and accommodating. Eating with someone with allergies can be tough but the server was knowledgeable about the food and helped make recommendations. The food, however, was hit and miss. Some of the food was super flavorful while others seemed lackluster. Presentation on all was very nice though. The bulgogi tacos and lettuce wraps were our favorite that we got. We do wish the lettuce wraps had more chicken in them though. The thing we found most lacking was the cucumber salad. The texture was nice but they didn't taste like much. They had a lot of sauce but didn't taste like much, if anything we just tasted oil. Would love to come back and explore more of the menu!

A cozy yet elevated restaurant with a wide variety of delicious cocktails, appetizers and entrees. We had a group of twenty people, and the staff was patient and attentive all the way through. Some steamed buns are better than others, I preferred the pork belly. The brussel sprouts were definitely my favourite!

Not as authentic tasting as we had hoped. If you are looking for traditional Asian food then you might be disappointed.

This place was recommended by our cousins.. and it did not disappoint! I was a bit iffy since yelp reviews were mixed, but overall we had a great experience! I did take a star off for price point. Drinks were pretty pricey for how plain the drinks looked.. but they were tasty. Food portions were on the smaller size for price as well but flavor was amazing so I'll let it slide lol. The korean fried chicken and brussel sprouts were divine! I couldn't stop eating them! Flavor explosion in my mouth. The pot stickers were just okay, nothing special. We ordered the pad thai & kung pao chicken for entrees. Pad thai didn't impress me, lacking spice and on the watery side which doesn't compare to authentic pad thai. The kung pao chicken was delicious! Slight spice with amazing flavor. Overall we had plenty of food. I recommend this place! Asian approved lol for Yakima area.

Lovely ambiance and service. Our waitress was attentive and outgoing. The food wasn't my favorite. I'm a big dim sum fan and was excited to try. I enjoyed the Bejing Dumplings, but I felt like they were overpriced for what they were. They were a very simple flavor with chili oil and eel sauce doused over the top. The dumplings themselves were very reminiscent of the Costco dumplings, pretty chewy and simple. You get 6 dumplings for 16 dollars. All in all a good spot, I'd like to try it again and get something else.

The drinks were amazing but the amount of protein in the stone bowl rice and Pad Thai was equal to a half of chicken breast total for both. The rice was dry and lacked flavor. For the amount of money we spent, we weren't impressed.

Good quality food. Attentive service. Mellow vibe at Noon on a Wednesday. :) Fair prices. Open comfy seating. Nice that it is seemingly a retrofit of an older building. Nice to reuse. Green Beans were quite expressive.

It's definitely worth a try! The food was delicious. The drinks were yummy and the service was decent. It was absolutely freezing in there. I'm not sure if it's where we were sitting or just in general but it was uncomfortably cold. The Pad Thai was not my favorite. It was more on the slimy side than I prefer. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

Bad service. Expensive. Children's menu bland and tasteless. Some entrees over spiced.

We went for lunch and sat outside because the weather was beautiful. It advertised dim sum but there wasn't as much selection for that as we thought. There were four in our party. We got wings and dumplings to share. Each couple then got a main dish to share. We had Pad Thai with chicken. They were a tad heavy handed with the fish sauce for this recipe. The eel sauce that came with the dumplings was a favorite of everyone at the table. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. They were attentive and kept our waters filled. Over all the food was good.

Holy moly I can't believe I haven't tried this place before. Outstanding! The are the only soup dumplings I've encountered outside Seattle, and they were light and flavorful. I could have eaten double the amount, except I had to try their tasty Bao-type dumplings, one with pork belly and one with mushrooms, which were equally perfect in their fluffy little pouches like fat Chinese tacos. I washed them down with a local dry rose. I'd hoped to enjoy the yuzu tart for dessert, but they sold out, so I had another tasty glass. The ambiance, decor, and service are excellent as well. It feels disconnected from the outside, like a calm and beautiful secret garden. My server was nice, prompt, helpful, and not pushy at all, which I always appreciate. This place is worth the long drive for me, and I will be going back as soon as I can make it happen.

Awesome food, I had the spicy peanut chicken noodles. Good vibe and reasonably priced menu. What killed it for me was the service and meal timing. I asked for Edamame with Garlic Butter to be served with our drinks as an appetizer..."yes, ok you got it sir"... then 20 minutes later my wife's meal shows up, 5 minutes later the appetizer, 5 minutes later my entree. Poor planning or service can destroy what could have been a great meal. My bother had the same experience last month but I wrote it off as I like the food. Hopefully they get their cadence sorted.

Everything was delightful!! We had the pad thai and fried rice. Our very favorite is the kung pao chicken. It was simply delicious as always!! Excited to return!

I would like to thank the Amazing staff at EZ Tiger. My wife and I went in there for our Anniversary and it was wonderful. From the pork pot stickers to the Szechuan wings and orange broccolini it was just out standing! Again thank you to the manager Kennedy and everyone at EZ Tiger for a very memorable evening! Truly an outstanding restaurant in the Yakima area!

Amazing- Food was so good! service was amazing! Cocktails were to die for! A true gem in Yakima.

Excellent service. We stopped in to have drinks and appetizers and were not disappointed. There are not a lot of choices in Yakima and this place is definitely elevated for downtown. The drinks are so very good and the bartenders were on point. We had edamame it was delicious, we also had potstickers and it wasn't my favorite but that was more of a texture issue on my part. The food was great. Definitely, going back when we are in town.

Great fusion place, the food was really good and great service. Will definitely be going back again!

Expensive. Decent food. Some of the appetizers are good, the entres are hit or miss. Be prepared to spend $200 if you order a couple of drinks, an ape, and two entres.

EZ Tiger is a dim sum and noodle house with signature cocktails. Customer service is excellent and the food is really clean, but portions are small, prices are high and food is lacking flavor. They're best known for the stone bowl fried rice. We had the spicy peanut noodles, stone bowl fried rice, and Thai herb salad. It was my first time trying Napa cabbage and it was crunchy, crisp with a hint of sweetness. The cashews, mint, and Thai basil were the perfect touch. It's a refreshing salad. The spicy peanut noodles were the favorite. It has lots of potential, one piece of bok choy and too much sauce. I've learned that I'm a fan of udon noodles though! And for the stone bowl fried rice... overhyped. It's overpriced basic fried rice. Completely lacking flavor.

Bad service there a couple of weeks ago. No air conditioning. Several customers fanning themselves and looked very uncomfortable. Ordered salmon and it showed up as everyone at my table was finishing their food. Salmon was very dry and bland. Ordered a small beer with tomato juice in it, and my bill totaled 43.00. Worst dinner that I've had there and service was not great for me at all.

Second time visiting. Ordered the Thai herb salad. Honestly, I liked the cabbage, the herbs, the nuts, the crispy things on it. But the texture of the dressing was really off-putting. Overall, I was disappointed in the salad. The pork dumplings were good, but I've had better. The chicken pad Thai was good. Enjoyed it a lot. But the amount in the family style bowl was pretty small for the price. The customer service just feels lacking here. They don't check in much. The water has no ice in it. And for the amount of employees standing around chatting it up, more care could be given to the actual customers. Great decor, though.

Yakima's high-end Asian fusion. Modern atmosphere ~ dine at kitchen bar top for chef's menu and enjoy watching the staff prepare your tasting menu. The other side is open seating with modern decor. The slide out window walls are a nice touch for open warm weather dining. Service ~ consistent courtesy from every waitperson we have experienced. Beijing Dumplings ~ almost too sweet of sauce Green Papaya ~ garlic blast, thumbs up Miso Sea Bass ~ $21 for a couple bites, again almost too sweet Potstickers & Veggie Dumplings ~ unexceptional but nice chewy texture Sake ~ $$$ but where else can you get sake in the YKM?

Very underwhelming. Service is not the best and even though our server was kind, it was a slow and unsatisfactory experience. There is no professionalism or restaurant etiquette in sight and no one is as attentive as it should be for the price point. I paid upwards of $300 and truthfully do not feel that the food nor the service is deserving. Food was okay and somewhat well-presented but nothing more. We tried several things off the menu and while the dishes are edible and fulfilled the immediate hunger, they aren't anything to write home about -- not very flavorful, large serving of rice with minimal protein and for me personally, not intended for the targeted audiences. This could be improved and perfected, I am certain. Overall, the entire experience is very bland and lackluster. Additionally, when I went to pay, the hostess had zero skills, let alone customer service skills -- she didn't utter a single word unless I asked and then seemed bothered by me even asking for a pen to sign. This was the location my brother chose for his birthday but I personally would not return for myself or entice friends to try it. I was excited to return to visit my family in Yakima and see they had a new decent spot but this definitely was not what I was expecting.

We really loved everything we tried here. Great flavors. Highly recommend. My favorite may have been the Brussels

This is such a great restaurant for a celebration! We had delicious food, excellent service, and enjoyed the atmosphere. Celebrated a 25th birthday! If you tell the server, they will give the birthday person ice cream. We recommend the soup dumplings and the Pad Thai.

We sat over in the kitchen and enjoyed watching them crank out meals on a Friday night. Food was delicious, our favorite part was the honey bun appetizer, ($7 each but worth it).

What a find in Yakima. Was a recommendation for a business lunch and Wow is all I can say. The flavors and execution are spot on. The bowls are large enough to share ( you wont want to). Put this on the list. The table in the kitchen looked very interesting. Will definitely be back! Great service, fantastic food and a real value. Winner!

I wish I would have taken pictures of the food but was with some clients. Ambiance, Service and Food were all exceptional. Will be back the next time I'm in down on business. We had the Fried Rice, Beijing dumplings, Green Beans and Kung Pao Chicken.

It actually took much longer than expected to be able to draft the review for this place. After the news broke that Wahluke would be closing, we were seriously in mourning for about a week. Ironically, the day the news came out of the closing and then the subsequent re-opening of this restaurant, we had been discussing how nice it would be to have some better Asian cuisine in town. At the heart of all this, it's nice to know that there is a restaurant group that is excited about the prospects for the area and is committed to good food! We initially came in for the soft opening and were able to sample some of the menu items. Since then, we've been back twice and have explored the menu a little further. We've definitely like what we've seen. Of all the items we've tried, the ones that really stuck out as superb we're the Ahi Poke, the fried rice, the Szechuan ribs, the ribeye, and the pork belly buns. The Ahi Poké Is supremely fresh, paired delightfully with a citrus sauce and some awesome crispy rice - the dichotomy of textures is delightful! The fried rice is reminiscent of bibimbap with crispy rice at the bottom, an egg stirred in and tons of veggies - excellent! The pork belly buns were the best I've ever had - amazing flavor (it was very similar to Peking Duck!) and some cloud soft buns that cradled said pork belly like a newborn child! If you didn't catch it, those were the favorite item. The ribs were perfectly done with Szechuan peppercorns that gave just enough spice without tons of heat. The ribeye was equally awesome - medium rare, sliced thin and served with wasabi and dumpling sauce. It was magic! The Dan Dan noodles are solid with a really nice sauce and the EZ Tiger noodles were very good as well. The spot where they'll improve are the dumplings. The inside of the shrimp dumplings was just a bit soft and the noodle was just a bit chewy. We found this was the case for both the shrimp/pork and the veggie dumplings. Easy fixes and didn't detract from the overall experience. Drinks are excellent and the same as during the Wahluke days! The rolls is my best half's favorite drink and I've taken a liking to the non-alcoholic options. The paper tiger and the tora unhinged are two of my favorite drinks currently! I've enjoyed the St. Anjou, the Laughing Crow and the Joel, but found the "kid" drinks as I've come to call them, exceptionally refreshing and really nice to sip on. It's great to have something other than a Shirley temple when I'm not in the mood for a libation! Also, if you're thinking - This dudes going soft! Worry not, we had some Sake and all three options were excellent. The dining area is split into the chefs counter where everything is prepared and the dining are (formerly the lounge) is perfect for a relaxed dinner. The ambiance is left coast chill with nice background music and sliding walls that open into the courtyard. There are currently a few tables outside with more coming. It's a great spot to eat as the sun is going down! The folks here have produced another fantastic restaurant that fills a huge culinary need in the area. We're really excited to see them continue to innovate and thus far have largely loved what we've seen - Go check the place out, it's worth your time!

I love everything about EZ Tiger! The various seating options include comfortable chairs seated facing the open kitchen where you can watch the chef-magicians cooking. Even the water glasses impressed me, which, of course felt great in my hand when drinking water. I followed my waiter's advice and ordered the Beijing dumplings...excellent taste and perfect texture. Next I had the Poke nachos, so perfect. I finished with the Thai herb salad with grilled shrimp, so full of fresh herbs I almost ordered a second salad to go. The house cocktails were savory and sweet at the same time. How do they do that?? Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, a rare combination! Can't wait to return for more fabulous food, cocktails, and amazing service. Thank you EZ Tiger.

Finally after wanting to try this place for a long time, I did so today in between lunch and dinner. I ordered the Kung pao chicken for $17. What I got was a giant bowl of plain jasmine rice with maybe 5 ounces of meat on top. There was some rather offensive rap music playing throughout the whole establishment, with lyrics that were quite inappropriate. About every other word in the song was edited out. Honestly I can't think of any reason why I want to go back. The menu is so limited, the prices are very high, and my experience that the portion was tiny. The chicken was good, but only enough to go with about 1/5 the amount of rice in my bowl. The ambulance was a wide-open room with lots of tables, no decor nothing on the tables but plates with a fork and a knife and a napkin. No thanks!

Food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend "The Rolls" drink. Delicious. The service was great, as was the ambiance. We'll definitely be back!

Outstanding food. Great name as well. We'll worth a visit. Service was awesome. This place just plain landed with me. I recommend it and suggest you Ggve it a try.

BEST.FOOD.IN.YAKAMA. It is impossible to order one thing here... so order for the table so you get to try many things! EVERYTHING I have tried is amazing. But the table side fried rice is my favorite! When the weather is warmer, they have a really cute outdoor seating area too.

Although I may come back to try the interesting looking cocktails, the food wasn't good enough to draw me back in. We ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai, Crispy Garlic Green Beans, and ended up trying the Thai Herb Salad in place of the Green Papaya Salad that we had wanted, because apparently they only do the papaya salad seasonally, even though it remains on the menu. We didn't care for the Thai Herb Salad. It was mostly just lettuce with very few pieces of herbs in it. The dressing had a very strong fish flavor that we weren't expecting. The Pad Thai, while flavorful, was very soggy. There was a lot of liquid at the bottom of the pot that made the whole dish kind of soupy. It was also very spicy for us - we hadn't been given an option of spice level when ordering, so I'm assuming it comes that way for everyone. The Garlic Green Beans were good, but be prepared for a TON of garlic! It was a bit spicy because of the sheer amount, and I was still tasting it the next day. Probably not what you want to order on a date. The waitstaff were all very nice to us, although our waitress forgot to bring my tea. The ambiance is interesting- I liked the low lighting, the seating arrangement with full view of their bar, and the fact that food is served family style. Like I said, I may visit again, but probably just for cocktails.

Great Thai Food . Nice atmosphere and seating. Good selection but wish they had more Thai dishes like tom kah soup, etc.. Plus is they have sake and other drinks.

This place was a real surprise! The dishes had excellent feats Il as did the servers. I had the miso sea bass which was delicate and perfectly cooked. It was made just as freshly as when I had it in Hawaii! My husband had the ribeye steak which was also perfectly cooked and tender. The restaurant it slightly upscale and has the cutest bathrooms!

Amazing!! My fav place to eat in Yakima! I even get it to go if I can't stay and eat inside the fun restaurant!

Pleasantly surprised with the vegan options we had at EZ Tiger. We were in town visiting friends and they suggested this place for dinner. We ordered: -- Edamame ($5) // I wish these were a bit more seasoned as they just had a lot of salt, but they were a tasty start. -- Crispy Garlic Green Beans ($4) // These were amazing! So glad we got two orders for the table. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, I would eat these any day. -- Stone Bowl Fried Rice w/ Tofu ($14) // Such a cool presentation as this is heated in a sizzling stone bowl and then stirred at the table by the server. It came out really good with crispy pieces of rice on the bottom. I enjoyed it but it definitely could've had deeper flavor for sure. Some more chili, garlic and umami would have made this an A+! -- Tofu Pad Thai ($15) // We got a vegan version of rice noodles with tofu, not sure if it was pad Thai specifically but it was pretty light! Tofu was well seasoned and we liked this dish but it was a little straightforward as well; flavors could be bolder. The cocktails here are fantastic, I tried both The Rolls and Jiro. They were each unique, well-balanced, delicious and seemed well thought out. Would absolutely come back for cocktails. I really appreciated our server being eager to help us find vegan options on the menu as they weren't very well marked. He was able to make quick suggestions and we felt comfortable taking his word for what would taste good. The atmosphere was lively and clean, although they did get a little busy for how many servers they had on toward the end of our meal. We had to wait a while after getting boxes for our check to be brought over. I think if they offered a few dedicated vegan dishes that didn't need modifications it would be a top notch experience for sure. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Brought my husband in for lunch, he'd never been. Our server was a new hire, but she was friendly and polite. We started with the garlic green beans...not horrible, but a bit dry. We shared the Chinese sausage fried rice. The presentation was bright and the dish was pretty tasty. I ordered a rib eye to share as well. My husband prefers a medium cook, so thats what I ordered. The steak was dry, over marinated, chewy... we did not eat it and it was taken off of our bill. I appreciated that. $26 is not astronomical for a rib eye, a la carte, but it was not pleasant nor enjoyable. The establishment was reasonably clean and the staff was pleasant. *Please review your steak situation.

Every time we've been there the place has been packed, tables can be a bit tight next to other groups. But service has been excellent, and the food is delicious, buns, wings, everything so far has been great. A bit on the pricier side in my personal opinion for the portions.

Once again I'm impressed with the Yakima restaurant scene. I read some article about the best restaurants in the state and realized this spot made the list. I visited for lunch and this restaurant is too cool for school! It's modern yet warm, clean, inviting and simply beautiful. Even the restroom downstairs was fancy beyond belief. The waitress was kind enough to explain the menu and intrigued me to try the stone pot fried rice. I also got the pork steamed buns. The rice is similar to a bibimbap. It was good but I like spicy food so I should have asked for sambal or sriracha to kick it up, but it was still a tasty dish. The pork bun was savory, light, and I liked the acid from the pickle. They have excellent service, played Bob Marley and have a wonderful vibe. I look forward to visiting again so I can try more items.

We dined for lunch and thought all of the food was well prepared and very tasty. When we arrived there were few people but quickly filled up. Could have used another server but we understand the circumstances now. Pad Thai was excellent as was the beef and scallion dish and fried rice. The only thing I didn't care for was the poke. Mango was sweet and it wasn't my thing I guess. Fish was fresh so that was really all and it was minor. Highly recommend and would be back.

Great food and service. The pear pie was amazing! We loved every dish we ordered. We never felt rushed which was a nice finish a long and tiring day.

Met some friends for dinner on a Thursday night. The server was somewhat prompt taking our drink order but it took 20 minutes to get 6 drinks! Ordered dinner and 2 of the 6 meals came out in a somewhat timely manner but it took over 10 minutes for the other 4 to arrive! The 2 first dishes were then cold . They did comp the first 2 but the place wasn't that busy and it just seemed like there was no urgency. COVID has ruined all work ethic. ‍

When we went they told us they only have 2 woks for the whole restaurants food so nothing comes at the same time. The Szechuan wings were really good though. I don't recommend the pad Thai, the noodles were cut up so you can't really use chop sticks and no option for spice. Also a little mushy for my liking should have spent less money on decor and used it for the kitchen.

So happy that Cowiche owners expanded with this new Asian resto right in the heart of downtown #yakima. Cool vibe, good grub, beautiful space. Everything is tasty just like its counterpart #cowiche -- spicy peanut noodles, pad thai, ahi tuna, dumplings and wontons all amaze. The steak n miso was a little dry but the EZ stir fly w jalapeños was delish. Best to dine w a group family style. Round tables make it much easier to have biz dinners. I'm a big fan and am so glad to have another place to dine when I'm in town. Easily another go to place for chow. Will be back. I'm definitely coming back!

I can't tell you how happily my heart skipped when I heard the Snyder family was opening a noodle house. Just take all of my money and give me all of the dumplings. The dining room is beautiful and the culture of dim sum is honored and escalated to a level of sophistication. I had the conundrum rose to start the evening. It was lovely and priced fairly. We had the Dan Dan Noodles and the steamed shrimp and pork dumplings. The Dan Dan was delicious but if you aren't a fan of peanut butter go for the Soba or the EZ Tiger noodles. The steamed pork belly buns are a delight! You will not find steamed pork buns in this style for over 100 miles in any direction. What a treat for the Yakima Valley! The only thing missing are the little Asian ladies pushing the carts around. Also I need to mention that E.Z Tiger was opened in place of Wahluke. It is closed but it seems there is a possibility of a "seasonal Wahluke" appearance. If so, you know where to find me!

Did not live up to my expectations. The place was spacious and clean, very light and airy. Food was meh. I was shocked at the portion sizes, literally child size. Not worth the price. Won't be back.
