Wild Tiger is close to my work, so I will stop in on occasion to take an order of Drunken Noodles to go, dragging my "kill" back to the sanctity of my cubicle to devour in private like, well...a wild tiger!
Like its namesake, Wild Tiger is a feral beast that takes no prisoners when it comes to serving delicious food, although their operations have stuttered a bit since, and in the wake of, COVID-19. During my most recent lunch hour visits, the dining area, while open for business, doesn't always seem that way: it is dimly lit, almost shuttered looking, with most of the light coming in from the windows. The bar is empty, and the host stand is frequently unmanned, the employees relying on a doorbell to be informed of a waiting customer...and they don't always hear it. Sometimes you have to flag someone down to grab a table or place an order.
Once you DO manage to place an order, their turnaround times are ludicrous. I've waited less than 10 minutes (and closer to five) for a walk-in lunch order before it was handed to me, hot and fresh - very important for those on a tighter lunch break than mine! Portion sizes are variable during the lunch hour: you can opt for the lunch or dinner sized entrée, the latter being a few dollars more, but I've found that the lesser of the two is more than satisfying enough. Spice levels are similarly variable, but as my heat receptors have long since died, don't ask me for any critical review of their Scoville score.
Overall, Wild Tiger provides quality, well-portioned and delicious food at as-expected prices (for the area), with the swiftness of a pouncing tiger's master stroke. It's just a shame that the interior of the restaurant itself seems to be dying the same, slow, agonizing death of a wounded gazelle caught in a predator's vice-like jaws.
