Absolutely loved this place! The Korean concept is both unique and authentic, setting it apart from other restaurants in the area. The ambiance adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. Best of all, the food is not only delicious but also affordable. Definitely worth every penny.
I was also amazed by their excellent customer service; they are well-organized and attentive. I cannot get over their Pizza Beef Bulgogi! It is a must-try. The place is also a great spot to drink and play billiards with friends. You can even enjoy the panoramic view of Somerset Road.
Highly recommend for dine-in couples! Thumbs up!
The whole ambience was pretty aesthetic, definitely a picturesque place for gatherings. We kept saying ‘daebak’ the moment we entered the premises, as it boasts a tropical urban jungle with wooden furniture and rustic setting.
The highlight of our meal at Tigress - Korean Honey Soy Fried Chicken. Each piece of chicken was perfectly prepared, as it was super delicious on the inside, while crispy on the outside!
Beautiful bar with seven pool tables in the middle of town, serves great drinks and snacks. Pool tables are very well maintained and they also added some other activities like table tennis! Very spacious and bright - its a really nice spot to chill with friends or for a drink after work!
A small but professionally run pool parlour with six pool tables and a Korean 4-ball table. The space is thoughtfully designed, featuring high ceilings and generous spacing between tables, which makes for a very comfortable playing environment. It’s clear that care has been taken with the layout to ensure ease of movement.
We visited on a Tuesday lunchtime and found all tables occupied, indicating steady patronage even during off-peak hours. Our table, however, was slightly uneven and could use some adjustment. The house cues were serviceable, though nothing to shout about.
Food was reasonably good, and they also serve alcoholic beverages, which adds to the overall experience. While prices are on the higher side, it is to be expected given its central Orchard Road location. A decent venue overall, though a bit of fine-tuning would elevate the experience.
Arriving at the third floor of orchardgateway, Tigress by 82Soho is an eatery with a Korean touch, ferociously so. Rawr.
It's got a bar, pool tables, beer pong and other video arcade games, since it's a close kin to its neighbour Kommune!
I was just in time to order a set lunch and went for the Honey Soy Chicken Burger served with fries and for the drink selected a hot Barley Tea.
For appetisers, I sampled the Gunmandu (Korean Crispy Dumplings w/Soy Vinegar) and Crispy Seaweed Japchae (Stir-Fried Glass Noodles) Rolls with Spicy Tteokbokki Sauce (which surprisingly wasn't overpoweringly spicy, great for me).
For dessert, I had a Korean Yuzu Chamomile Teacake, and rinsed my palette with a Lemongrass & Ginger Hot Tea served in a pot with a side of honey.
Oh and also a mini tub of Cookies & Cream Ice Cream from Haagen Dazs.
Belches. Enough energy to walk 500 miles.
This is great for friends, co-workers, couples, families, or just a solo sit-down to work in bliss (or not work at all).
Did I mention that the staff are awesome hosts as well? 10 Stars.
To call this a "pool hall" is probably on par with describing a Lamborghini as "a car". There is, of course, a technical level of truth, but it's really not doing either side of the equation justice. Tigress is probably best described as it describes itself, a billiard club, but without the membership stipulation. In other words, this is a class act pool hall when you want to spend a little more for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Cash & credit cards accepted.
It's been years since I've had the pleasure of playing on a 9' Rasson table, and therefore just as long since I've had the pleasure of a table run on a 9' Rasson. But I enjoyed both here at Tigress. Located on the third floor of Orchard Central Mall, this is a place to enjoy a refined experience. Tables are top quality, the felt is immaculate and the rails are as sharp and responsive as you'd expect from a Rasson. Add to that a full bar, a list of classic cocktails and a bartender who has some experience making them. Then add food into the equation, something I didn't personally sample on my visit but will next time. All in an airy and light, nearly ethereal atmosphere.
Further adding to the mystique, there's actually an APA league here (American Pool Association). *That's* something you don't find everyday in Asia! There's plenty of information available on display if you've got a hankering to test your skills in a more structured, competitive environment.
The Manhattan cocktail I ordered was on point and only missing a candied cherry garnish. And the cues are decided Asian, with a more radical tapering to the tip than I prefer in addition to being lighter than what I prefer shooting with. But the tips are fine and there's good chalk. There is also a liberal display of rules & regulations if you want to shoot here. Behave yourself. Otherwise you can't have nice things, right?
The coup de grace is they sell t-shirts, and I immediately added one of their staff shirts to my collection and will browse their incoming inventory of customer shirts in the next few weeks.
Yes, this is a pricier place to play. But it *is* Singapore so should that *really* be a surprise? There ought to be at least one upscale place to shoot pool in this town, and so far in my explorations, this is the top contender for that title - and second place is a *long* way off.
Come here and share some love with Dmitry and the crew here. They deserve it, and you're going to enjoy it.
For the Executive Set Lunch, we ordered:
•
- Bulgogi Beef with Kimchi Stew 💯
- Classic Cheeseburger 👍🏼
- Scallop Spaghetti
- Sausage Tomato Spaghetti
•
The Bulgogi Beef slices were a highlight, validated by all of us who tried it. Personally I find them abit sweet, but maybe it’s Korean style.
•
The Cheeseburger was well-crafted with a generous portion, and their French Fries were exceptionally crispy, disappearing before the burger was finished. 😅
•
The Spicy Scallop Spaghetti was appetizing! 🤤 The Sausage Tomato, a Korean fusion, featured a unique herb flavor that intrigued our taste buds. 😅
•
Their set lunch, priced at less than $20, included drinks.
hidden gem in hearts of orchard gateway indeed. Where do you get a place to eat, drink and play pool at same time. Beautifully decorated interiors, with modern Korean fusion food. I do recommend to try their Korean chicken burger - really huge crispy fried chicken cutlet served with fries & salad on side. Their cocktails are pretty interesting, Korea places of interest inspired too.
Had a networking luncheon here and first impression is how airy and spacious the restaurant is. Lots of natural lighting too. The food is very generous in quantity and beautifully plated. My main was Bulgogi Ribeye Rice Set and I enjoyed it, esp the Kimchi Soup, which wasn’t too spicy. (The beef was lovely too although it might be a bit too sweet for some). Tigress also uses a pretty nifty cashless payment system, Qashier, which generates QR codes; you just scan and pay. All in all, a great dining experience here.
Love the ambience here. The foods is awesome with a twist of Korean dish with a touch of western foods such as pizza & burgers. Must try their signature cocktail. There is billiards too for a fun game with family & friends. Will definitely come back again for gatherings
