Neon Tiger

What a delightful spot! Super fun, funky ambience, dogs allowed inside, friendly service, excellent food, and everything is VEGAN! Now, I'm not vegan but the three people with whom I enjoyed dinner are and one of their biggest takeaways was how wonderful it was not to have to worry in the least about what they were ordering because they knew it was "safe" for them to eat. Not being vegan, I had never considered this and it was pretty profound to me. Anyway, i'm quite happy to eat vegan and this food was really, really good. We had a pizza, crab-cakes, Phenomenal calamari, and buffalo cauliflower. We also shared an outrageous chocolatey dessert. Ingredients were fresh, flavorful and very well paired. We shared everything so all of us could taste everything and we left there happy and satisfied. I hope to have the opportunity to go back at some time in the not too distant future. (The calamari were my favorite, made from mushrooms and fried up just like real calamari. Better than most real calamari I've had! Didn't stop to take a picture of those, oops!)

I HIGHLY recommend Neon Tiger! Especially to anyone who is seeking vegan meals and restaurants. We didn't have a reservation and they immediately seated us at the bar. Service was so friendly and quick! Food was hot straight from the kitchen. Alcoholic drinks were AMAZING! Ambiance is so chill and super relaxing! I highly recommend trying the Trumpet Mushroom Calamari (we couldn't even tell they were mushrooms; it was breaded to perfection and literally tasted like real calamari). Pizza was freaking amazing. My BBQ Beyond Burger tasted better than any real burger I've had!

THE PIZZA! Exquisite. I was visiting Charleston for Labor Day weekend and this was by far mt favorite meal. The cocktails we had were equally delicious, though we were not able to order more than one each, as the server disappeared after we finished our meal, which lead us to notify a barback that we needed our check. Cuisine and drinks: Service/Hospitality: Still, I will definitely revisit when I'm back in town.

I wanna cuss. I had an amazing meal at this place and I was completely caught off guard by that. One of our party is a vegan and Neon Tiger was on her list to try. No one else had any qualms so away we went. The windows are blacked out so you can't see inside from the street and once you're inside you see why. The room is dark with neon lights along the perimeter. It's a lounge vibe, with loud music and intimate seating. Our waiter was Emily and she left much to be desired. She got our order correct but she was very impersonal and clearly did not want to serve on our table. Honestly, her service is what kept this restaurant from being five stars. Andrea from the front desk was absent though. What I ate is below. Caesar salad: it is no exaggeration to say this is the best caesar salad I've consumed in my entire life. Every bite astounded me. It was packed full of flavor that had my eyes popping out of my head! I would come back for this alone. Strawberry ginger soda: light and refreshing. The carbonation was faint and not in any way overpowering. Garlic knots: for garlic lovers who want to avoid a run-in with vampires. EXTREMELY garlickly but sooooo dang good. Pillowy soft and full of flavor. Sopapilla: this was reminiscent of the sopapillas I grew up eating at Pancho's. The pastry was tougher but since it was a vegan I forgave that part. The flavors were there. It was heavy HEAVY on the cinnamon though. The accompanying ice cream was super smooth and delish!

I made a rez at this place during our stay in Charleston because it seemed to be one of the more prominent vegan restaurants in the area. It's a little bit of a schlep from the touristy shit in the city but nothing terrible and it was probably for the best. Don't think we were tempted to uber it in the June heat and humidity which, according to one of our uber drivers, "was nothing" but for the sake of cardiovascular fitness, I convinced GF to make the trek. It really wasn't bad and allowed us to work up a bit of an appetite. The vibe inside is dark and, well, neon-y as you would expect. We spent a few awkward moments waiting at the entrance for someone as the hostess booth was unoccupied but we were shortly taken to our seats. The cocktail part of their menu gets everything off to a good start. I can't find it on the website and thus will have to provide the deets by memory. I ordered a turmeric...mule? Something standard and something with ginger beer. The menu requests you select a spirit but I was rolling the dice and did not select one with my order so who knows what they put in it but it was delicious. The paloma was recommended by my server and on brand, was neon pink with a dark salt rim. Also very tasty. I'm sure many vegans and vegetarians can relate but it is always a mind fuck when the entire menu is available to me. Typically, I have trouble deciding when I can only order 2 or 3 things but this is madness. To make matters worse, the menu is fantastic and includes both vegan versions of typical, meaty dishes but also innovative creations. We started with something I can't usually indulge in, the crab cakes. They were creamy and delicious, served with a really tasty celery root slaw that was fantastic on its own. Quite a delicious way to kick things off. For our main, we shared the reuben and the buffalo cauliflower pizzas. The reuben was stuffed to the brim with shaved smoked seitan like they literally could not have fit another strip in between those slices of bread. The provolone and sauerkraut topped everything off nicely. The bread was a touch soggy but it was worth it. We were given a choice between fries and salad as the side for the sandwich and before I could even draw in another breath, GF had already blurted out that we would be having fries. She wasn't about to give me any opportunity to make a choice for "cardiovascular fitness" again, that's for sure. It is a good thing because their fries are thin and DELICIOUSLY seasoned. Regarding the pizza, they have a number of really good options but I settled on the buffalo cauliflower to get some veggies in. This definitely had some spunk with the buffalo, a little crunch with the scallions, and an overall nice flavor but I would have preferred more heft in the topping department as they felt few and far between. The food was overall, pretty fantastic and the service was great EXCEPT for the fact that we were left sitting there for a good 10 min minimum after our appetizer had been served but we were not provided utensils which, if you've never had this happen to you, is fucking savage. I'm glad we made the stop, one of the best meals we had during our trip.

This is the kind of vegan food that vegans are talking about when they say it dies all taste bad. Everything we had was delicious. You would never know that they were vegan.truly. So so good. We'll be going back for sure (and the chocolate cake was to die for)

My son suggested we go here since he has dined here often. All Vegan restaurant with tons of meal choices. Upon entering, I was really impressed with the cool vibe of the place. The plant lover in me was truly feeling it. Nice outdoor patio and nice, cool atmosphere inside. We sat at the bar since we didn't make reservations. We ordered two pizzas, the BBQ chicken and the Animal Lover. I liked them both, but would lean more towards the BBQ for overall flavor. I would like to try one of there burgers next time I drop by. Definitely worth a try.

I'm so 'amped' about Neon Tiger and the amazing vegan food that they make. What nice ambiance, this place is 'lit' in every sense of the word. The pear earl grey soda was the mocktail you didn't know you needed. The mushroom pizza sans arugula was delicious. My partner had the gyro and I had the Ruben! Hail setain they worked some wheat meat witchery! Fantastic service and great food!

Got a pizza delivered from here it was really pricey Ice cold keep getting a message it was running late . Topping consisted of 80% arugula. Get a pizza from Mellow mushroom with vegan cheese or iggys. Way better value and taste and options

Chill vibey spot. Set back off main road with parking. Nice low lightening and music. Food is all vegan/plant based. We got a couple pizzas/calamari and beers and everything tasted great. Didn't have to wait for table, but we went early on a Tuesday so may make sense to see if you need a reservation beforehand

A fun futuristic vibe in downtown. The entire menu is vegan so it's great for someone with a dairy allergy like myself! Large selection of pizzas which are delicious! There are a number of other entrees but I have always stuck to the pizza and the FRIES! The best fries ever... the salt, the sauce. Ugh it's so good! And lastly.. THE CHOCOLATE CAKE! Just order it, you won't regret it.

This place was amazing. Was looking for a vegan restaurant on the way back from the beach and stumbled across this gem! It's kind of tucked away in an alley but easy to spot once you get closer. I ordered pick up but from what I saw from the lobby, the inside was beautiful. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it came with a side of fries. I swear I demolished it in seconds. It was so delicious. I've had a few vegan cheesesteaks and that was by far my favorite. The cheese that came with it was so good. The fries were nice and seasoned and tasted amazing dipped in that cheese sauce. The host was very nice and my food came out really quick. Highly recommend.

Appears to be permanently closed. Phone number doesn't work, website is very glitchy, and they were closed during hours that show they are supposed to be open.

As soon as you enter, you feel as if you reached a place of serenity. We were all loving the cool vibes. Unfortunately, this place does require reservations for a table but I am so happy we didn't have reservations and immediately went to the bar. There, we met Katie & Graham, who were INCREDIBLE, ATTENTIVE bartenders! It was our first time at a vegan restaurant/bar and they made our experience so much fun! The sweetest people ever! They were so knowledgeable about the menu! We were able to experience such amazing vegan food from the Reuben sandwich, Trumpet mushrooms calamari (truly trumpet with the chipotle aioli !), and the Vegan passionfruit cheesecakes. For drinks, we all ordered an array of drinks, which were so beautiful and full of delicious flavors. Below are my favorites from 1 to 4. 1. Cosmo 2. Rose Mule 3. Berry Splitz 4. Palmetto 5. Georgia Peach Katie surprised us with a shot of the turmeric ginger beer, which was so refreshing! I could drink those all day! Don't miss out on this amazing Vegan restaurant! Such a blast!

Neon tiger is nothing short of awesome. Vegans and those who are not, will both enjoy the food here. Our server Jenn was lovely. Just attentive enough and helpful when we had questions. The calamari is something I will crave for weeks to come. The food is made so thoughtfully here - you can taste that. We also ordered the "meat" pizza, which was so good that I failed to even pick my phone up for a picture. I wish all vegan pizzas were done this well! We didn't drink, but the bar was busy and the drinks looked yummy! After dinner we decided to get dessert, something i rarely can have when out to eat, and the turtle cheese was SO GOOD. Turtle chocolates were among my favorite before going vegan years ago, so the nostalgia was a big dopamine hit for me. The team is solid here, and the food is inarguably delicious.

Wow wow wow. The fact that everything on this menu is vegan is simply amazing and makes eating out as a vegetarian a lot easier. The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing and holy crap the chocolate cake (not pictured because it was so good). The great part about this is that every time we come back we can try something new without any restrictions! Will definitely be making this a regular date night spot.

Very chill hip vibe. We get two appetizers (calamari and cauliflower) and one meal (mac and cheese) to share and we walked away with a solid amount of leftovers. Service was pretty good.

Parking: large dedicated parking lot - should not be an issue Service: excellent! Very friendly & helpful Ambiance: super cool & hip haha Food: got a pizza & sandwich - both were great! We did feel it was a bit pricey for what it was... but as vegetarian/vegan - we are very thankful for places like this!! Very few places uses Seitan - which tasted very good. Highly recommend!

Giving this place 5 stars for the ambiance and the service alone. I stopped in to grab a drink. I sat the bar and was greeted by a super friendly bartender. I had the monthly Edmund's Oast sour, which the bartender told me was good, but super tart. He wasn't wrong, but I would definitely order again. I've heard good things about their food, but didn't have a chance to try. Will definitely be going back and updating my review based off of their food. All in all, solid experience.

Absolutely amazing experience! I visited Neon Tiger as someone who isn't vegan, with my vegan best friend and had an amazing time! The food was so delicious, we tried a variety of dishes and loved them all! The mac n cheese was sooo good and the pizzas were divine. The drinks were also amazing, some of the best I had during my whole Charleston trip! The fresh made juice cocktails were amazing! The service was also wonderful and the ambiance was beautiful!

We are not vegan , but thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Service was friendly and food recommendations were helpful. The entrees were large and frankly should have split a starters and one main. We enjoyed the Margarita pizza - slight drizzle of pesto was a frat touch. The spicy chicken sandwich tasted just like chicken and the texture was in line as well. Our favorite was the calamari - derived from mushrooms. I'd recommend that you give this place a try. PS - no signage , except the tiger sign, which happens to be in Neon

Neon Tiger was one of the best vegan meals I ever had. The vegan Philly cheesesteak was incredible as were the sliders and tofu wraps. The chocolate cake was also amazing. The service was excellent and extremely friendly. The setting was beautiful too.

We stopped by Neon Tiger our first night in Charleston. The place is dimly lit and is playing some good vibey music. We got the mushroom calamari, crab cakes, and fettuccine. Everything was quite delicious and the food came out really fast and freshly prepared. The service was excellent as were the drinks. This is definitely a place I would check out--vegan or not--if in Charleston.

I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. It's nothing like I've ever been to before in Charleston! I love the vibes of this place, as soon as you walk in the atmosphere is amazing. I was so excited to try their pizza and it didn't disappoint, the Buffalo cauliflower pizza was amazing but I did have to ask for some extra Buffalo sauce to dip it in. I also got a Cesar salad which was delicious as well. I recommend both of these items!

Just amazing. One of our favorite restaurants ever, and we go to lots of restaurants. We came to the area for a week in 2021 and Neon Tiger was one of the main reasons we booked our 2022 vacation here. Highlights: * Outdoor seating (covered) * indoor ambiance (dark with neon lights and plants) * casual vegan bar food menu * lots of cocktails * buffalo chickn sandwich is the best * buffalo cauli pizza out of this world * Caesar salad to pretend you're healthy * thin and crispy fries * any-gender bathrooms * easy parking lot (huge plus in CHS) We've had nothing but great experiences here. Takeout and dining in. The vibe is very cool and I don't doubt that even non-vegans would love love love the food.

This was a must do for our vegan eats around the area. When I tell you not to miss this, I mean it. It was so good that we visited two nights in a row! We went with some friends one night who weren't vegan and even they were impressed. Absolutely bangin pizza and the Reuben was incredible - honestly I think it's one of the best Reuben's I've ever had (pre-vegan days included) For pizzas we had: pepperoni, fromaggio & champignon, pesto margherita, and Hawaiian. Be sure to visit when you're in Charleston and take your whole party - vegan and non-vegans!

Delicious food at an all vegan restaurant. We really enjoyed the mac and cheese, crab cake, and pasta primavera. The Philly cheesesteak was ok, but a little too salty.

This place is amazing!!! I had the Ruben and the Philly cheesesteak. I would recommend to anyone who is vegan or just likes vegan food.

Best vegan restaurant I've ever been to! The vibe is neat, cool lights and art. The staff was friendly and gave great suggestions. I had kombucha, I don't remember which one but it was amazing. You have to try the calamari! It was so good. The tartar sauce was really good but also try the garlic aioli. The frommagio pizza was phenomenal! Most vegan pizzas taste the same but this was was literally the best I've ever had by far. I can't wait to go back!

I've heard so many great things about this place I had to try it out! Came here for dinner and drinks prior to a night out and it did not disappoint! We made a reservation ahead of time, which is really helpful to the staff. Their espresso martinis are pricy but so worth it! The food is amazing and definitely left me feeling full as some vegan restaurants don't always do. Everything here is an experience: the ambiance, food, drinks, you name it. Will definitely come back!

I walked into Neon Tiger not knowing that it was a plant based restaurant. I was confused because the menu mentions items like "meat " and "chicken" but it does not really specify what the vegan alternative is. I ordered the "chicken" sandwich which comes on a pretzel bun and, it was good, but you could tell it was not really chicken. I do not know what it was but it had a weird texture that was only slightly off-putting. The drinks are really well made and as delicious as it gets. On point cocktail game for sure albeit a bit pricey . I applaud the move to more vegetarian options in Charleston and the ambiance of Neon Tiger is really nice and modern. I will definitely be coming back

We love Neon Tiger! It's one of the best Vegan spots that's fully Vegan! We usually get vegan pizza, vegan calamari (not pictured), Cesar Salad, and sometimes the Philly cheesesteak, Ruben or Buffalo chicken sandwich (not pictured). Their food is good!

Neon Tiger was great. We arrived at 9:58 pm on a Saturday and they let us in, despite the fact that they were closing in two minutes. The bar tender was welcoming and friendly. We both got espresso martinis. It was my first time having one and it was delicious. I love the cocoa rimmed glasses. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try their food but if it's anything like their drinks, I'm sure the food is delicious. Good atmosphere and nice interior decorations. I want to go back for a meal.

First time here. Recommend making reservations but we were able to sit at the bar on a Fri night. Beautiful marble bar with very helpful bartenders - explained all of their handcrafted cocktails. We went ahead and made reservations for the next night. Started with the calimari and shrimp- delicious! Hard to believe it was vegan. My son had a rosemary bramble cocktail - excellent I had a glass of German sparking wine. There is plenty of parking which is a plus in Charleston. Obviously recommend as we are coming back for a second time!

Total gem. This place surprised me with how good it was. I brought a non-vegan and he loved it too. The dark, neon and sculpture bust gave the place a very synthwave kind of vibe. Great music too! I genuinely thought they gave me real crab-cake because this vegan version seemed exactly like I remember it LOL. I had the tacos- superb. If I lived in CHS, id be here 24/7

This is the only completely vegan restaurant in the Charleston area that I am aware of. I specifically booked a reservation here for my friend who is vegan but is always forced to "find something" at national chain restaurants (ex: Chili's Carolina Ale House, etc.). I am open to anything, so this was a really nice change of pace for both of us being married to meat-and-potatoes guys. We were seated within 5 minutes of arriving (I recommend booking a reservation as we did). Ambiance is a bit on the "club" side (very dark with some neon accents, 80's-90's new wave music-the waiter said it was on The Smiths radio), but we loved that. Water was already on the table when we sat down (10 stars for that!) and we ordered cocktails (rosemary bramble and turmeric mule) and an appetizer (trumpet mushroom calamari). Cocktails were amazing and the app was outstanding. The "calamari" was truly delish, consistency was almost exactly like the real thing, and the sauce it came with-I could have eaten it with a spoon!). We had main courses as well. I ordered a larger app as mine (whole roasted blackened cauliflower platter), my friend ordered a burger (BBQ Burger). Both were excellent! Our waiter Caleb was very attentive and patient with us and all of our questions. Absolutely will return (sans husband) as soon as I can find another friend willing to try it!! 20/10 recommend!

Wow! I had high expectations for this place based off of reviews and it turned out to be such a great experience. We made a reservation and showed up super early. We were going to sit at the bar for 30 min until our reservation. By the time we got our drinks at the bar the hostess was able to sit us. Our server Jessica was really nice and made some great recommendations. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and my partner the Alfredo. We both really enjoyed both dishes. We also had the calamari as the appetizer which is a much try!! If you're looking for a delicious cocktail be sure to go with the daiquiri! Overall the restaurant has such a amazing ambiance!

Listen, I can not wait to come back here. I was passing through SC and this place had great reviews. I asked the hostess what was the best pizza option and she suggested the white cauliflower and my oh my, I am glad I chose that one. So flavorful. And I am not a fan of arugula AT ALL but for whatever reason, it paired so well on top of this pizza. That says a lot about the food they have here. If anyone is in the area, please do not hesitate to try them out. I ordered to-go but if you plan on dining in, make a reservation as they seem to be very popular!

Best vegan food I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about this place. We went for dinner and brunch all of it was amazing. I highly recommend the fetuchini Alfredo, since going vegan that was one thing I missed and this tasted the most similar to the non vegan version. Everything was amazing though you can't go wrong with this place. Make sure you make a reservation though! It gets packed and they don't always accept walk ins!

We've done take out once here which intrigued us to dine in. Boy was it worth it! The Fettuccine Alfredo was so authentic you would have thought an Italian grandmother made it. The pizza was Devine (I'd recommend the buffalo chicken). Some of the best Vegan food I've ever had. Oh and the garlic knots are to die for but they were gone before a picture could be taken. They are a must try!

I LOVE this place and I'm not even a vegan. They have tons of options between sandwiches, pasta and salads. We had the mac and cheese, Philly cheesesteak sandwich and fettuccini. It was all very good. Obviously they are all vegan so its not true cheese or meat but it was delicious. It may be my favorite restaurant in Charleston honestly. An unassuming exterior, its super cute and trendy inside. There is parking to the right of the restaurant, very easy and always has spaces.

Absolutely amazing food!!! We are vegan and have gluten allergy and everything was good and they took the time to ask and be allergy friendly! Highly recommend to everyone! Not just vegans!

Restaurant is amazing! Food, atmosphere and service. I was in Charleston for a weekend getaway and ate there two days in a row. I had the reuben with a Ceasars salad and both were amazing! The sandwich was so good. So close to what I remember before going vegan. Also had the mushroom calamari which also was really good. I will always go back there when I visit. Lastly, Andrea, the server was great! She made my dining experience wonderful.

It's been almost six months since I ate here and I cannot stop thinking about their crab cakes! They were amazing! My friends and I got a little bit of everything and it was all DELICIOUS! But the crab cakes are things of DREAMS. So yummy! Our server was very nice and the vibes were immaculate! 10/10 would recommend, worth the $$$

Food was awesome. My Cesar salad and Philly cheesesteak and my partner's Reuben were soooooo delish. I highly recommend. It felt really good not to have to filter through a menu to see what you can and cannot eat.

So our first attempt at eating here was a fail unfortunately, but that's only because it's such a popular place and you need to make reservations before you go. That seems to be the theme for most of the popular restaurants in the area. When we walked in, we where greeted by a very friendly hostess who had a brief chat about make-up with my wife. So, that kicked things into a comfortable atmosphere right out the gate for us. Unfortunately, from that point on, things got a little disappointing. Our waitress was very friendly and I know it wasn't her fault at all that we had trouble ordering. To start off with, the drink menu listed on the website is quite different than the current menu accessed using the QR code. It blows my mind that the drinks on the old menu couldn't be made, assumingely due to the fact that many of the ingredients were not there, which our waitress confirmed. So I ended up ordering the Rose Mule, for $14 instead of $12 that was on the website. Less complicated of a drink and more money; again, blows my mind. When it came out, it looked nothing like any of the drink photos here on Yelp. It came out in a raggedy copper cup with chopped paint and it tasted like a Plain Jane Mule to me. Then, when deciding on an appetizer/ entree, my wife was already put off but we decided to share the Animal Lover's Pizza for $19 since something she asked for on the apps was not available that day (can't remember what it was at the moment). As our server informed us of the specials of the day, the pizzas sounded great, a cheeseburger pizza and a Hawaiian pizza. At the same time, she let us know that they were out of the vegan bacon, which was one of the main ingredients in our pizza. Since my wife was disappointed in that as well, she asked what the seasonal dessert was. Server said it was chocolate cake, which wasn't seasonal at all, as it is listed on the menu. When inquiring further, she let us know that it was an apple crumb cake with caramel drizzle, but was also out. Womp womp. She came back to the table a few minutes later and said they had one slice left. At that point, we just decided to share the pizza and leave. When the pizza arrived, I will tell you that this is what gave the restaurant 4 out of 5 stars (instead of like 2 out of 5). Along with the ambiance, the food is actually quite good. I wish we wouldn't have had such a bad experience because I know my wife would have enjoyed so many other items on the menu. I'm hoping we are able to return at some point and this experience is redeemed.

My tastebuds felt bludgeoned by the level of salt on my dish. The dish didn't taste like the meat dish it was named after. Which isn't a big deal except it wasn't tasty either. Just, salt. My girlfriend's dish was no better than a store bought beyond meat patty. The server never checked in on us. When we provided feedback about our dinner it was minimized rather than acknowledged. And for the cherry on top, when we received the check it included a 9% non profit charge in lieu of sales tax, that was not mentioned anywhere. The server said it was on the online menu which we pulled up and showed how it definitely wasn't, and then we were just told it hasn't been a problem for other people. There is no explanation as to where the money goes. And evidently it is optional, but that is also not mentioned anywhere. All in all, it was a horrible dinner experience. And I love vegan / vegetarian restaurants.

We both I'm trying to go more vegetarian so we thought we would give this place a shot, it was recommended to us. So glad we did. This was seriously some of the best food around. The meat lover pizza was awesome definitely big enough to share for two. The mac & cheese what is delicious you wouldn't of even known it was vegan. We shared a Caesar salad that was just as tasty . And shared the most rockin chocolate cake. It's worth the trip back to Charleston to bring my vegetarian in my life here. Tip make a reservation, this is a small place and you don't want to miss this food

So I went out with a vegan friend from out of town and I called the reservation on in. Off the rip I talked to an Audrey and she made me feel comfortable and safe. They also looked out and gave me the best seat in the house. Easily one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever sit in let alone in the holy city. The food was incredible and about line priced with meat options. I would recommend any of the pizza to anyone. Also really recommend the trumpet mushroom "Calamari" thanks again world class service

I just can't say enough good things about this place, it is my favorite in Charleston. It's date night, harmless fun The animal lovers pizza - shut the front door! Delicious!!!! The bartenders are no joke, they can pour an old fashioned I think the best compliment I can give them though is that they have inspired me to spice up the vegan menu at home. Don't forget to vote on Charleston's Best!
