TLDR: Quaint little neighborhood sushi restaurant. Small place so make a reservation. Spicy Dumpling Soup, Toro/Ikura Roll, Grand Wazoo and JUNGLE LOVE.
I'm not sure how we ended up here but we came in for a Friday night. A few locals recommended it but I was pretty skeptical to be honest. The menu just read like something I don't care for but figured let's try it out.
It's small but dark and cool for a local date around town. We tried the cocktails, both had yuzu and they were pretty solid. The Spicy Dumpling Soup was very flavorful, kind of reminded me of instant noodle soup base with dumplings but not in a bad way - it was tasty.
Truffle fries and yogurt were solid. Spicy tuna crispy rice was standard.
Toro/ikura roll. The ingredients do the heavy lifting but this was great. Fatty, nice pops of salty brinyness from the roe, not too much rice.
Grand Wazoo. Spicy scallop, torched squid? Very interesting and very delicious.
Jungle Love. I don't know what this was supposed to be. An obscure list of ingredients but this thing was TASTY. Shrimp, avocado, goat cheese, brussel sprouts, imitation crab, tuna. As strange as this sounds - this baby slapped. Most memorable bites of the night.
I went in doubtful and left knowing I'll be back. Cheers.

Highly recommend. I love the ambiance inside, the space is a bit small which gives them the time & attention necessary for every order. Each dish is a symphony of flavors that leave your tastebuds satisfied. Grateful to have a spot like this so close-by. The best quality sushi on Long Island, and some of the best I’ve had overall.
I would have given this place 5 stars however, the service was really bad. I'm not sure if they are understaffed or not but the white girl with blonde hair who checks people in at the front had a bad and smug attitude and didn't really care. Then the waitress was super busy and kept telling us to wait in the middle of us telling her our order, she would run off and not come back after a long time. She did apologize each time she came back though, maybe they are just understaffed and I felt like she was overwhelmed and busy.
The food was REALLY good!! Their General Tso's Cauliflower, Fluke Carppacio, Crispy Rice Tuna and the yellow tail was amazing! Their Sushi plate was amazing as well! With a little more improvement they can really become a NYC Michelin level sushi restaurant. The ambiance was nice but could use a little more work. All the guys working behind the sushi counter were very nice, friendly, quick, and did an amazing job!.

This place is amazing! Stopped in the area for work and Jennifer was the best server! The sushi was nothing shy of amazing. Love this restaurant place!
My husband and I come to Tiga frequently and it is always A+++. Absolutely everything we’ve ever gotten there is amazing. From the specials, to the apps and the rolls it never disappoints. The Dynamo Hum roll has become my favorite sushi roll of all time, anywhere. The staff is always so nice and welcoming. Reservations are def needed as it is a cozy, small place with great ambiance. My husband and I always look forward to coming here :)
I never write reviews but I felt this place deserved it. The Yellowtail Asian Pear was possibly the best thing I’ve ever tasted. I consider myself a foodie and would say that dish was absolutely incredible. I ordered 2 on Wednesday and went back on Friday and had 3 lol. It was an experience and the quality of the food was excellent.
I came on a Friday at the insistance of a friend. I tried the edamame dumplings, soft shell crab salad, the sushi platter a toro roll and their Yuzu cocktail. Each dish had a very familiar yet surprising taste. It definitely is not your traditional sushi but a fresh and new innovative take on the cuisine. The pairings of sauces and flavors are on point. Each individual bite has so many levels of flavor that it is indescribable. There's also a very good attention to service. Our waitress, Jennifer, was attentive and took her time to explain each and every dish so that even a sushi novice would feel at ease. I can't wait to go back.
Best Sushi in Long Island! Super cool vibe and friendly service. The warm mushroom salad is so tasty and I love the different textures. The sushi was super fresh and they even have Toro which is my favorite. Will be going back soon.
