Lucky Tigre in Tampa - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great little stop - maybe a bit warm in the summer but the food is superb and worth the visit.

Everything we had was fantastic! Service was quick and friendly.

First time trying Filipino food and I loved it! Ordered the beef pares and it was delicious! So flavorful! Will definitely be back soon ♥️

Great atmosphere and great food. If you want to have an enjoyable meal with fun people, this is the place!

The pork dumplings were off the charts good! Friendly staff and cute outdoor seating area right off of Howard.

Food was so delicious and bursting with flavor! Wow!! A little pricey for the amount of food, but each bite was a delight. Their drinks are also just as good 💯

Best food in tampa, everything is always 10/10 !!

Very expensive for the quality and quantity. Spending $50 plus on street vendor quality food with hard jasmine rice and dry pork is a hard pill to swallow.

If you're looking for dumplings that will transport your taste buds to culinary heaven, look no further than lucky tigre. Perfectly hand rolled lumpia, flavor bomb bao buns, and a balanced sauce to pair with everything. Every bite is a symphony of flavors and textures, from the delicate dough wrapping to the succulent fillings bursting with savory goodness. Whether you're a fan of classic chicken, adventurous with sweet and spicy pork , or craving the luxuriousness of coconut and mushroom, there's a dumpling here to satisfy every palate. Every single drink is worth buying by the gallon! Nothing tops the amazing service. The care and attention given is absolutely top notch!! Nothing here is forgotten or spared, they thought of everything and executed perfectly!

Lucky Tigre's bao buns are a treat for the taste buds, offering a delicious blend of soft, pillowy buns and flavorful fillings that are sure to satisfy any craving. Complement your bao bun experience with one of the fruit teas, bursting with natural sweetness and vibrant fruity notes. It's the perfect duo for a flavorful, satisfying meal or snack that will leave you craving more.

Food, service, and atmosphere all amazing!! Will totally be back

This a very nice take-out Filipino spot. They do have benches to eat on location. All food is made fresh to order. They have both food and drink options. The person running the place was polite and friendly.

This is the place. Authentic Asian food with a little something of a twist. Flavorful, juicy stuff that I haven't seen anywhere else. Service is great, ambiance is as good as a food stall can get. Definitely recommend!!!

The food is amazing, the drinks are amazing, the employees are amazing. You have to give this place a try! One of my favorites. Quality is consistently there. This place won’t let you down!

Authentic, low-key spot to get great food- our favourites are the dumplings (get the spicy tocino pork and the mushroom coconut) and the mushroom Bao. Get the Calamansi- it’s refreshing and rare to see it on a menu around here.

Filipino/SE Asian cuisine. It's outdoor and super casual. I was genuinely impressed with the food. 10/10 would recommend.

The beef pares was good. We were a bit disappointed with the lumpia bcoz it was soggy. And we were sad about the adobo. Not because it was shredded chicken, but because they was no flavor in it and it was dry.

Will definitely be coming back again and again! So incredibly delicious! Thank you :) we love it here and think this place is the best in the bay area. Forever coming here💕

Maaaaaannnnnnnnn oh mannnnnnnnnnn! If you are a fan of Filipino food and have not tried this place you are disrespecting yourself to the fullest. I was raised off of this type of cuisine, so when I tell you that this is the ABSOLUTELY BEST! Filipino food I have ever had the pleasure of placing in my mouth, I am serious as a heart attack. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and leaves you begging for more! The staff is exceptional in every regard and I will be making this a new home away from home! Thank you to the Lucky Tigre for this amazing experience. My wife, daughter, and I will be back in the very near future.

Absolutely delicious mushroom bao! The ube mylk tea with boba was really good and I loved the jelly stars in the other drink! The dumplings were pretty good, but the bao were definitely the favorite [we ordered a second round of the bao they were so yummy] :) Thank you!

Food was great, had trouble finding a parking spot.

I tried the mushroom bao buns and the mushroom dumplings. Both were fantastic! Thank you for having amazing vegetarian options! 🙏🏽 (Ps- Patio is super cool!)

We ordered chicken adobo with atchara side dish, lychee milk tea, and pork bao. It’s yummy. Im coming back soon.

Filipino owned. Woman owned. Daily trips to the farmers market means always fresh. Hand folded dumplings with flavors like Tocino Pork. LUMPIA!!! Each cooked to order. No microwaves or heat lamps here. House Sauces and Chili Oil all made from scratch. Calamansi Juice add the mango. Thank me later! Dog friendly. Open Air and Covered Patio seating. Plenty of parking. A super sweet lil’ whole in the wall with an even sweeter crew. Shout out to Johnny for the dumplings!!

Delicious bite to eat! I ordered a lot my first try and was not disappointed. Enough to share with three people! If you get two sets of dumplings. Very flavorful if you want something different!

The halo icecream was delicious! Fun vibe overall. I got the chicken bao buns and Mushroom dumplings.

Consistently some of the best food in Tampa.

Great vibe, great food, and even greater people! Check this place out!

Came here for a quick bite to eat and it was delicious. Boba is super good and food hits the spot. Service was amazing and the person who took our order was super friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

25+ minutes unexpected wait. Staff was overwhelmed and moody. Not helpful. Need to communicate better with customers! Thanks for at least refusing me today. How about using pagers or text message… And get rid of that tinted windows. Just blocks our customers. Not helpful!

The mushroom ulam and the chicken adobo ulam were incredible! Also, you can bring your dog

Amazing food and everyone that worked there was super nice!

Ate outside and had delicious dumplings, bao buns, and suman with fun flavored lemonades. Such a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and they played Mitski. :)

Great, fun food and drinks! Right here under a highway!

This place is a GEM! I'm Filipino & highly recommend giving this place a try! There was an issue with my order, but the owner took care of it as soon as I spoke up. Excellent food. Excellent service.

My wife is from a neighborhood (Camembo) in Metro Manila. She 1st introduced me to beef Pares at a spot in her neighborhood. Lucky Tigres beef Pares is 💯 legit! The lumpia is shmaaakin! I, myself, am from the San Francisco Bay Area, and thus, have a high bar for Filipino food. This is the best Filipino food I’ve had since moving to Florida.

One of the more unique taste of Tampa Bay! The service was so warm and inviting and they genuinely care about your experience and ask every single guest despite how busy they are how their food was. We had the beef and coconut mushroom dumplings, pork asado buns, beef lumpias and beef pares. All items were incredible and we had a tough time picking a favorite! Lots of love in this food!

Sooooo good! We tried the bao and the dumplings and they were all great. The pork dumplings were probably the best I have ever had. The atmosphere is good for what it is. We took the food to go so we didn’t have to sit in the parking lot. We will now be regulars!

Sadly no pictures of what I ate. Will post next time. Tried all dumplings! Amazing flavors and nice attention to detail. Highly recommend

0 stars. Adobe buns were not good. And their beverage cups are not designed for travel with huge mouth opening, a quart of my beverage ended up in my cup holder just from the drive home. They offer no other travel options like a sticker, plug, etc. I told the owner and instead of thanking me for the feedback, she said she's never had an issue before and I didn't have to come back. Thats fine, you've lost a driver and a customer. There are lots of other options in Soho

Very nice lunch today. The food is pricey but very high quality and authentic. Aside from the cooler temperatures, eating outdoors also felt authentically Filipino! Will definitely return to sample more of the menu.

My hat off to the chef. We are on vacation from Denver and my filipino wife decided to come to this restaurant. Now we are both picky when it comes to eating out. Haven't found any good Filipino restaurants in Colorado. I had the beef pares, my son had the chicken adobo in a bun, my wife had chicken adobo. Our son tried a bite from each of our fish and he said his was the best. I can say the beef pares dish I had was really good. The beef was tender, the sauce was tasty, the jasmine garlic rice, was nicely done. I could have eaten more, but that would have too greedy if me. Again, hats off to the chef. Oh and the hostest was very much on top of his service. The place is small, but the food and service are top notch

Lil overpriced and unexpected food

The food was delicious and fresh and the drinks were so good! I will definitely be back to try more.

the food & drinks are delicious! made with love and care. it’s totally worth the wait! my filipino mom did not even complain to me what should be added or subtracted to her ulam. or even say her food growing up is better. not once! that’s a filipino gold star in my book!

Food is absurdly good here. Good prices too. We’ve been probably 10 times, always fresh and amazing.

Just grabbed a quick bite here and tried the pork baos. They were really good—the meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I’ll definitely come back to try other options on the menu, like the halo-halo.

This place is super cute. The workers were friendly. It’s not 100% authentic Filipino the recipes are a little different. We expected the chicken adobo to be saucy and have full chicken drumsticks/thighs but it was just shredded chicken. Dumplings and bao buns were tasty. The salted ube milk tea was flavorful.

Black tea is great. Bao buns and dumplings are also amazing.

I absolutely love this place! I go every time Im in tampa the food is amazing and the owners are so kind!! I got to go but I usually love to sit there with the outdoor vibe. I always get a mango boba tea and you must try the mushroom dumplings with the ginger sauce, So.Good. Definitely recommend.

If you’re craving Filipino food you won’t regret coming to this place . Lovely staff & the food was IMMACULATE a stand out eatery . The only disadvantage is the seating which is outside only .

Let me start of by saying by how great the vibe is here. Staff is so welcoming and friendly great music ambience completely set the mood for me to get my grub on ( when things are too good to be true I become a bit apprehensive so I was skeptical ) You order at a window and then pickup from an adjacent window so you’re not waiting super long for your meal which is a nice plus Okay wait here is the best part of the review, the food…. I have lived in Tampa for pretty much my whole life and when I tell you I was so pleasantly surprised / blown away it’s almost an understatement. I ordered an assortment of things a couple different types of dumplings, bao buns and lumpia. The food comes out piping hot and when we open the dishes an assortment of aromatic spices and flavors make me start salivating at the table ( embarrassing ) the food looks so beautiful I have to wait for my friends to take ig pics before I can take a bite but when I do yummmmm ! The flavors of each dish are so unique and curated I was worried because I had ordered so much I thought maybe i was going to get the same array of flavor profiles but boy was I wrong. Summary; Eating here is like eating art, you can tell that the food is made with love & I enjoyed the dishes so much I even went back and ordered a second round because I wanted to try more. Also mind you a single person could eat here for less than the cost of chipotle (no shade to chipotle) and leave feeling full and happy without compromising on QUALITY !!! I have a sensitive stomach and felt good throughout the rest of the day and following as I’m writing this review a day later. Do yourself a favor and pleaseeeee come here I implore you, you will not be disappointed !!!!

Lucky Tigre is a hidden little gem! After driving by this place numerous times, I finally decided to stop in and try it. I ordered the Shiitake & Tokwa and Beef Bola Bola Dumplings, and the Pork Adobo combo. My husband said it's some of the best pork adobo he's ever had and couldn't confirm since he did not share. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the dishes and if you love Filipino food like me, you have to try Lucky Tigre!

Always wanted to pop in here and finally got the chance. Quaint little covered area but service was super friendly and food came out pretty quick. The beef pares with noodles was stellar - so delicious! Can’t wait to come back for some dumplings and bao buns.

A must go type of place. The service was amazing we ordered the turon oat milk latte which taste exactly like the description and a 10 out of 10! We also ordered chicken adobo bao buns and the beef dumplings which were so juicy and flavorful. They also suggested Suman which is a sweet steamed sticky rice wrapped in a banana leaf served with ube sauce on the side which was an excellent touch to the sweet treat .

Great little stand with yummy food and drinks!

Loved this place! Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere is so cute. I live so close but I didn’t know it was a filipino restaurant! So glad to discover it :)

So so good. Super nice staff and food came out quickly!

Love stopping here for lunch. Everything they make is superb. Their bao buns are my fave!

First time I really liked it. Made me forget I'm 58. I will definitely go back as it was very tasty. Great place to people-watch and can't wait to try the other offerings.

Service and vibes were excellent. The food and drinks are some of the best I’ve ever had! I’ll be dreaming of the tocino pork dumplings and the peach mango pie milk tea until I can come back again for more.

The best halo halo i had in a long time. A small location by the overhead toll road on soho. The place is small simple but has everything tampa has to offer. An outdoor space , good people the sun and good vibes.

Wow, wow, wow! This is such a hidden gem! I love that this is located on the foodie street in Tampa! I love the outdoor seatings and the chill environment! I have tried their Baos and I am addicted! Super delicious for reasonable price! The service is amazing and everyone is nice! They have good food options and drinks! Must try their lumpia and bao especially pork bao buns! Highly recommended.

Food and drinks are good. Parking is a bit confusing.

I was quite excited about this place as I love dumplings! It's a small place with some seating outside and all the food is served in to go containers. It was very windy that day which made it a bit difficult to eat there. Now, About the food; the spicy pork dumplings were good but it had a strong meat flavor of which I wasn't too much of a fan. The coconut mushroom dumpling was good. The chicken adobo had shredded chicken which was average. I did try the fruit juice, which was citrusy and new for me so I liked it.

Great location, great vibes but unfortunately not authentic Filipino flavors. But the presentation may help introduce non-Filipinos to the cuisine…

The pork dumplings are serious. Have to go here if you’re in town

Delicious. First time eating here, my wife and I ordered a few things to have some variety. Food was great. Slight hiccup with one of our orders of dumplings but the team handled it with grace and generosity. Will definitely be back.

It totally gives off sari-sari store vibes as you walk up to the counter. It's so cool how they decorated the walls with vintage Filipino magazine advertisements of products and tourism. It's an interesting spot because it seems out of the way, and near a crosstown overpass. You'd never know it was there unless you keep heading south on Howard. It's next door to Sweet Soul, and across the street from Water + Flour. Parking can be a little tricky in the evening when all the SoHo restaurants are in full swing. During the weekday, it's not so bad. It's a mostly shaded outdoor restaurant. You order at the counter, and they bring your food & drinks out to your table. Many people order their meals to-go, so be mindful of that when ordering. Everything is made to order, so the food kind of trickles out to your table. I was happy that the Buko-Pandan mylk tea was the first item to arrive to the table on this warm summer day. I love the pandan & coconut flavor of this drink. It was so cool & refreshing! There were even a few young coconut slices in the drink. It was my favorite drink of that day (and I had many). Loved it! The Shiitake & Tokwa dumplings arrived shortly after the drink. It was filled with a mixture of finely chopped braised mushrooms, tofu, and tausi (black bean). The topping was toasted sesame seeds and their housemade umami chili sauce. It had a very nice kick of spice. Everything I ordered was plant based, and very well presented. They do have other dumplings with meat that I'll eventually try. I did sample what my friend ordered. The sampling of the BBQ Pork Bao Bun and the Pulled Chicken Adobo were both very good. The Halo Halo was also very good. This one has more of a lychee/coconut base with a scoop of ube ice cream. I love these flavors together. However, I did miss the leche flan. The Ube Tres Leches was a miss for me. But then again, I'm not into soaked cakes. It just had more of an extract taste than an ube taste. Other than that, everything was very good. I think the best thing of all is that my meal (other than what I sampled) was purely plant-based and dairy-free. It's a refreshing & healthy twist to Filipino food. The serving of the food items were understandably a bit slow, but the owners and staff were so friendly and welcoming that none of it mattered. Honestly, I can't wait to go back. I want to go back when it's cooler outside so that I can try their Beef Pares. It looks amazing! I also want to try more dumplings, and the Pork Adobo. Maybe I'll get my own Halo Halo. The toppings looked so good (especially the star shaped jellies). Lucky Tigre deserves many more visits.

Best food and best service! The Halo Halo is so refreshing and fun, and the bao buns and chicken adobo are my favorite! They also have an incredible ube tres leches cake. There are so many drinks I still need to try. I’m excited to come back 🙌

Wow! What a find! Def a hidden gem in south Tampa. Dumplings and Bao were spot on, morsels of flavor! HIGHLY recommend!

Awesome Filipino fusion spot. The first bite reminded me of my childhood. Fantastic hospitality and just can’t rave enough about it. If you’re a fan of calamansi definitely get the juice - you won’t regret it. Such a gem of a spot and can’t wait to go back!

Julie was outstanding!!! Would definitely recommend eating here. My daughter and myself had the pork asado rice rice plate(my daughter commented it tasted like it was cooked at home), calamansi juice(fresh squeezed), BBQ pork asado bun, and dumplings. For desert we had the suman and ube sauce. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends and relatives. Let's support Julie and her business. Mabuhay!!!
