    My sister is vegan and was visiting. I knew exactly where we had to go! The restaurant was cozy and modern. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in. Our service was prompt drinks came out quickly and were well prepared. We dined on “calamari” Buffalo cauliflower pizza, pepperoni pizza and the cheesesteak sub. They were all so tasty. We had such a nice time! I highly recommend.

    Every time I am in Charleston, I make a special trip to Neon Tiger. There is no where like it in the South. The service is friendly and inviting. They happy to answer questions. The restaurant is eclectic with an 80s vibe. Let’s not forget about the best part the food from the calamari, animal lover pizza, to ruben and now recently the cacio e pepe con fungho. It is hard to decide on one favorite dish. Everything is delightful!

    My favorite restaurant in Charleston. Food is excellent and service is too. You have to get the cauliflower appetizer, any of the pizzas and the chocolate cake for dessert. Love their cocktails too. Elizabeth and her team do an outstanding job! Will go again and again.

    I really wanted to love this place. And for the most part it was a very pleasant experience. I ordered the elote pizza, it was very salty. My partner ordered a special, mushroom pasta. He said the mushrooms were delicious, but the pasta had no flavor. I'm giving this place decent stars because I really want to go back and try something different from the menu. Loved the atmosphere and the service. Maybe it was an off night?

    This is the only completely vegan restaurant in the Charleston area that I am aware of. I specifically booked a reservation here for my friend who is vegan but is always forced to "find something" at national chain restaurants. I am open to anything, so this was a nice change of pace for both of us being married to meat-and-potatoes men. We were seated within 5 minutes of arriving. Ambiance is a bit on the "club" side (very dark with some neon accents, 80's-90's new wave music-the waiter said it was on The Smiths radio), but we loved that. Water was already on the table when we sat down (10 stars for that!) and we ordered cocktails and an appetizer. Cocktails were amazing and the app was outstanding. We had main courses as well-I ordered a larger app as mine, my friend ordered a burger. Both were excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and patient with us and all of our questions. Absolutely will return (sans husband) as soon as I can find another friend willing to try it!! 20/10 recommend!

    For a vegan or vegetarian, Neon Tiger is an incredible restaurant providing a broad menu of delicious and innovative meals. There are delicious vegan versions of "comfort foods" and inspirational meals that meet the challenge of impressing a foodie's palate. For someone unfamiliar with vegan foods, this is the place to go and be impressed by what you have been missing.

    we unfortunately had a very poor experience. we came and had a reservation kn advanced. however, even just to get seated we had to wait for 10 minutes until a waiter finally took notice of us. then we sat there waiting another 15minutes until we got the menu. another 15-20 minutes until the waiter took the order. let alone the wait time for the food. it took almost 45minutes. meanwhile a family of 7 came to the table next to us. they ordered at least 20minutes after us and they got their food before us! overall very poor service! the food was typical american fast food style with the classic Pizza, Burgers and Sandwiches. We ordered a Pizza and Burger. We weren’t very pleased by the food. It was okay not more. We cook better and with more flavors at home. The burger meat was a beyond meat burger patty which we could have easily bought ourselves… the Pizza was missing any Italian flavors or seasoning and was therefore rather tasteless.
