Tiger Rock Smithdown in Liverpool

The food and portion size were amazing. Unfortunately, the seating was not the best as we were very close to the door, and it became very crowded when groups arrived, which affected the enjoyment of the evening.

Visited late Saturday afternoon, food really good but service lacking. Very quick to inform that we only have the table for two hours , no one approached our table to ask if food was ok, very hard to get the attention of staff to order drinks, in fact we only had the chance to order 2 rounds, tables not cleared quickly enough, have dined in north John st and experienced a totally different service, disappointing

Food of the highest quality Full of flavour and well cooked Great service and very friendly

We enjoyed every dish we ordered 😋

Delicious food and great service!

Great food , Great atmosphere, first time visit but will return.

The food was gorgeous I'm looking forward to coming back soon ⭐

Not impressed. Firstly we were given a table way too small to pile "small plates" on. Then the starters were ridiculously over-priced for their size and value. We were on a 40% Off offer but some dishes, "conveniently" were excluded (without clear notice) making the offer more like a scam. Finally, without notice, mention or authority they stick a "Service Charge (tip)" on and expect you to embarrass yourself requesting it's removal - especially as the "service" was adequate, to say the least but not tip-worthy. So, all in all, won't recommend and won't be returning. PS: My 1* has gone to 2* as the main course dishes were decent and I want to be as fair and impartial as possible.

Awful, went last week I was still waiting for my 3 small plates when my friends had eaten theirs. Waited 20 mins for drinks, food was very salty and ribs were very chewy, all in all I would never go back food wasn't that grest and service awful

Was so hyped to finally try tiger rock but this did not live up to my expectations whatsoever. Every single thing we ordered, including specials, was served with mountains of vegetables under/over and literally the smallest pieces/amount of what you actually ordered. One prime example is the soft shell crab where we had to sift through tons of vegetables to actually find some crab. This is nothing short of trying to cheat the customer with many unnecessary things to make the plate look larger and to have an excuse to serve less of the meal.

Great place to go for a light bite or a feast. Tiger Rock has a vast menu full of dishes that are unique and offer different flavours and spices that everyone will find something they like. I've visited Tiger Rock on a few occasions and each time it hasn't disappointed. Although it may look small downstairs, there is also a large upstairs seating area. I rang up on a Thursday evening to see if I needed to book, but there was no need as there was availability for me to walk in. The service this time around wasn't as good as I was expecting and the food took a lot longer than usual, however the flavour and freshness of the ingredients more than make up for it. 2 mocktails and 7 dishes later, the total bill including service charge is astoundingly small considering their prices have increased since I was last there (only a small margin on each dish).

Was one of my go to restaurants, hate to say food dropped off excellent. Hope just a little blip

Food was excellent pleasant staff

Lovely place lovely food, what more can you say

Medley of food ordered which was plentiful and tasty 😋

Absolute delightful place. Amazing food and excellent friendly service.

My favourite restaurant, without a doubt!

The only place that does South East Asian food right up in Merseyside. Must have: Nasi Goreng, Laksa Mee, Crispy Squid, lychee Passion Ade

I must say if you want to experience Thai food then Tiger rock is the place for you and the staff are very helpful

Best food in Liverpool. Amazing service. Great vibes all round.

I am an irregular visitor to Liverpool but have eaten here three times. I love the opportunities to share dishes with my family, nice variety and not expensive.

Great food but really got the impression we were forgotten....drinks ordered and delivered but at least 20 minutes before we could order food. Never a fan of plates served as they're ready as previous poor experience, but worked well here.

Excellent food and very friendly staff, me and my daughter really enjoyed it, definitely coming back again xx

We found this restaurant on google map and so decided to spend a lunchtime there with family. The menu was affordable and staffs were friendly with great service. The Thai dishes were great and taste really close to the taste of Thai. Will definitely recommend to friends.

The food was ok. The food is served as small dishes, so you order 2/3 dishes. I ordered 3 dishes, 2 noodle types of dishes, + a king prawn dish. I received the king prawn dish 1st, which was very hot + spicy if you like spicy food great, but then I couldn't taste the other 2 dishes as the chilli on the prawn was that hot. The food is brought out to you as it's cooked. So you may receive 1 dish +, then it could be a good 20 minutes or more before you receive your next dish. This may suit some ppl to have a rest between meals. It was a lovely night. We were in the room upstairs. Staff were run off their feet as it was so busy. Would I go back? Maybe not. Not that there is anything wrong with the place. It's just not my choice of food. You would have to give it a try yourself. 😉

Very friendly place with good food

Best asian fusion restaurant in the area. Great staff, great atmosphere, food is outstanding.

Friendly staff & very tasty food

We had a big meal here a few weeks ago and overall I thought the restaurant was nice, it was very busy and the service was rather slow but can’t blame that on anything else other than it being a bank holiday weekend. The food was nice, not my favourite experience of Thai food but I appreciate the presentation and themeing.

Some of the best Asian food you can get. An absolute delight and will be going again

We came here for dinner and we would highly recommend it. The restaurant serves a lot of Asian small plates like a hawker style market. We had beef satay skewers, chilli crab, cod cheeks, chilli squid as small plates with small bowls which are meat sauce and rice nasi goreng and char Sui fan which is my favourite dish from the restaurant.

Fabulous meal for our Neices 18th

Having eaten street food all over the far East I was really looking forward to eating my meal tonight. I was so disappointed it did not even come close to the food I am used to, so sorry will not be back.

A bit expensive but food was good quality. Had a great time

Been wanting to come here for so long and finally have! It surpassed my high expectations. Atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious and came out promptly. Som was absolutely lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere

Food was exceptional. Didn’t seem to be measuring their alcohol in the cocktails which is a bonus

Came here for the first time tonight. Everything was really tasty, especially the fillet steak and the belly pork. Service and atmosphere were both really good and I’ll definitely be going back again soon.

Always sure of a delicious meal, great service and a relaxed atmosphere, love Tiger Rock

The food, service and atmosphere are wonderful! I have been here many times and not been disappointed. I would definitely recommend Tiger Rock Smithdown.

Absolutely love this place and it never fails food is amazing 10/10 and staff very professional and attentive if you haven’t been you need to try this place you won’t be disappointed

Lovely little restaurant with two floors of seating. Atmosphere was vibrant and food outstanding. A couple of mistakes with our order but this was smoothed over with extra food. Staff very nice and helpful. Not very disabled friendly especially if you need the toilet.

Good service tasty food not too expensive

Food was really nice so have given 4 stars overall as if you like Thai food then you will not be disappointed. Having said that we were squashed onto the corner table / booth with four seats and there are five of us so it felt a bit cramped. Service was ok / good but I am not a fan of restaurants that automatically add 10% service to your bill.

Came in on a Saturday afternoon when town and the surrounding areas were really busy. We managed to get a table for 2. Within about two mins we had water at the table, five mins later we had cocktails. After that we had about six dishes between the two of us. All absolutely delicious. Lovely staff, insanely good food, delicious cocktails and beer and all at a really good price considering. I can't fault anything and I can only say this; get to Tiger Rock and enjoy a boss Scran. It's the best place in allerton, easy.

This is one of our favourite restaurants for meal. We had lunch here again few days ago when we came to Liverpool from London to visit our daughter and family. The foods, serve in tapas style are just fabulous. We can get a mix of Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean and Vietnamese foods. Will surely come again in our next trip.

I love eating here and have been a few times. Food is always delicious. Small plates menu has lots of choice and all are tasty.

Very little portion at high price. Some rice on the plate with egg and some peanut for £8.50. Very disappointed.

Top food, especially the pad Thai and udon noodles! Very big portions for takeaway and good prices. I have eaten there and from there several times and I'm always happy with it!.

Disgusting with the food it was child portion good job we had rice and soup won't be going there again if you're thinking of going dont bother will be going to the chippy later they charge you surcharge and don't tell you

Food was amazing, didnt have to wait long, atmosphere was ok

Authentic taste just watch the chillies they pack a punch freindly staff good atmosphere.

Love it will go again and again and gluten free options for celiac wife are brilliant

Very busy Saturday night but service didn't suffer. Ran like clockwork. Food was very tasty and hot. Excellent quality. Never had South Asian food before but this was a treat.

Tiger rock you never disappoint. Cosy, friendly and wonderful, tasty small plates. Thank you for making us always leave with a smile.

Wow just amazing food 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 the best service best waiters nicect people best chilli sauce ever even give us a free drink because she spilled our water the best thanks for the service and food 👍👍👍👊👊👊👊👊👊

Very good Asian street food small plates, efficient and friendly staff.

Loved it! Really recommend coming here. Food is outstanding, really fresh and great service👍

Great food, lovely restaurant and a decent price. What more do you want. Sample small dishes Tapas style of a good range of Thai food. Simple menu to make your choices. Food served quickly and tasty as anything. Highly recommended for couple or family meal.

Good food and drink. Took a while to arrive despite it being early evening.

A nice place for hawker street food, friendly staff and atmosphere

Wow just wow, bbq steak skewers with satay sauce, unbelievable definatey recommended 👌

As a family and with friends we have been going to Tiger Rock for years. Never lets us down. Difficult to recommend dishes as personal taste differs. I love the hake broth, lamb chops ( pink for me) and Chinese ribs. The lovely thing about tapas is that the dishes cooked fresh can be tweaked, for example, I hate anchovies and they do a lovely dish with said hated ingredient so obviously cooked without. Highly recommended

Small portions for the pricey food

Always fab tasty, fresh food. Excellent.

We had a table of four on a recent night out, staff are friendly and helpful. Food is generally served in small dishes and we filled our table with many plates, food is so tasty and it's not too pricey either. Certainly worth a visit

Absolutely amazing quality food. I would recommend between two people to get about 4-5 dishes and you’ll be full the entire evening. Friendly service with a smile. I’ll definitely be going back next time I’m in Liverpool

Great food, friendly & helpful staff. Plenty to choose from & everything we had we loved.

Really tasty fresh food, service was perfect too

Really enjoyed our catch up here, lovely food, good value.

Nice food. Miserable staff. It costs nothing to smile.

Fantastic food, good service, reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Great food and staff so attentive the daiquiri and margarita made you feel like you were abroad

I have only ever been served worse food at Wetherspoons but I didn't have to pay £50 for the privilege. The only thing that was nice was the steak, but £11.50 for a steak that was smaller than the head of the fork both along and across is diabolical. It's a fried steak with a soy wasabi mix in a pot on the side, and a tiny bit of ginger on top. Our mains were additionally tiny. I am genuinely sad I went in. Nice building, staff that are not bothered and god awful food.

Very good Thai food, lovely decor. Served almost tapas style so it's great to mix and match. Well labelled allergens, gluten free menu is huge! 😋

We went there for the first time yesterday to celebrate my birthday.The food is delicious,everything was perfect!Looking forward to going back👍

Been here a few times and always fab food. Service is excellent. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Not so fresh and glutenous sticky rice microwaved

Delicious, flavourful food. Every dish we tried was delicious, so many options and everything tasted really fresh. Good atmosphere and staff were friendly too.

yummy food they did a nice happy birthday for my happy friend

Lovely food staff amazing well recommended

Best place I've eaten in Liverpool so far. Staff were great, food was so good! Any future visits to Liverpool will involve visits here.

Will definitely go again, food is lovely, staff really good too

Wasnt impressed some good meals but doesn't explain how to order only one child meal on hole menu

Tapas style dishes, all of which were delicious. I enjoyed the Mee Goreng Udang especially. Would certainly recommend.

Best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Lots of gluten free options

Great service and great food and lovely staff - can’t fault it.

Great experience with food and staff was courteous and polite.

Food and service I couldn't fault... I will return soon .. I hope!

Love this place, food & service are excellent

EDIT 3/1/22 knocked down from 5 stars to 3 stars: went yesterday very busy but only had 30 minute wait for a table. They circle what you order on the menu which highlighted the problem to us. They said we only had one thing left to be cooked but it was 4 items, they'd already put it through the till so I wondered if we hadn't said anything whether we'd be charged for the items we'd not eaten. I didn't have to wait long as a couple got their bill and the lady told the waitress they hadn't received a few items that were on the bill. They were then removed from their bill. So remember what your ordered and check your bill before you pay! Original review: Great service, great food. Mild changes amidst Corona virus pandemic. Short wooden panels put up between booths, hand gel at entrance, service staff wearing either masks or visors but not one customer was required to wear a mask at any point asks every table was full downstairs.

One of our favourites to go for a great food. Never disappointed so far. Absolutely in love with the fillet steak dish and laksa me soup. Could eat them everyday. 😋😍 Service is always very good. We'll be soon back again!

Nice meal overall food comes from kitchen a bit too quick for my liking but understand with time of year and table turn over

Absolutely amazing food and not at all pricey. Such a variety and such good options for veggies, vegans and gfs. Really cannot recommend enough. Spectacular every time although tbh service could be a little better, but with the food this good who cares? Haha

Delicious fresh and authentic Thai food. Brilliant menu with lots of choice. Specials were a highlight. Very good, highly recommend.

Really nice food but pricey. The mains are padded out by unnecessary dressings on the plate. Example if you order Nasi Goreng it's a tiny scoop of curry on a potato with salad leaves. The food itself is delicious and I would definitely recommend here, I'd just be more selective in the dishes I ordered.

Great Thai food. Best green curry. Nice staff.

Went for lunch midweek. It was amazing. Love the food here. Great service too.

Always amazing food and excellent service. The children's menu is great too.

Amazing food, service was a little slow and drinks are costly.
